Entering March, the coldness of winter gradually fades from Bangta City. In the suburban wilderness outside the city, you can already see a lot of greenery emerging from the land. The wind blows on your face and you no longer feel the biting chill. There was even a hint of warmth under the scorching sun.
Xu Yi glanced at the village of Koror not far ahead on the left, pointed into the distance with his hand, drew a circle in the air, and finally pointed at the Sandy River rolling through the horizon.
"Cantona, don't worry about the existing fruit groves here. It was done the same way in the past and it will remain the same in the future. However, there is no place to plant fruit trees in this area, and they are all planted. This is where Bonta will be in the future. It is best not to have other factors in the city’s fruit production base. In addition, if possible, the same kind of fruits should be planted together as much as possible. This will not only facilitate planting and harvesting, but also facilitate future brand building.”
As Xu Yi spoke, Cantona nodded desperately and took out a small notebook from his arms to keep recording.
Seeing the crooked words Cantona wrote on the paper, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
After all, this Cantona was just an ordinary farmer before. He had not received any formal education since he was a child. He even learned to read and write unexpectedly after the establishment of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce last year. Of course, his handwriting was very ugly.
However, Xu Yi admired his attitude very much.
Cantona has a very good business vision and a flexible mind. At the same time, he still has such a desire and understanding of learning at the age of thirty, which can be said to be quite rare.
The reason why I couldn't get ahead in the past was entirely because I didn't have the opportunity.
But since he obtained a small magic harvester through the support program for ordinary farmers provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he seized this opportunity and relied on a small magic harvester. The Cantona Chamber of Commerce was established within one year and almost took over the farmland harvesting business in Bonta City and several nearby cities.
During last year's autumn harvest, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce earned more than five thousand gold coins just by completing the harvesting of farmland in Bonta City and several surrounding cities.
With this money, he even came up with the extremely forward-thinking idea of renting a large piece of farmland for himself.
When Xu Yi heard him propose this idea to himself. I even almost thought it came from the earth.
Out of his admiration for Cantona, Xu Yi immediately expressed his support for Cantona's idea, and after discussing with him, the cooperation project was confirmed. He even took this opportunity to propose to Count Satsuma an interest in Bonta City. Suggestions for industrialized development of agriculture.
According to Xu Yi and Cantona's plan, when Cantona successfully rented farmland from the city government, including the three villages of Koror, Cambia and Mexico, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will Basic food crops are mainly grown on farmland in the villages of Cambia and Mexico. Such as rice, wheat, etc.
Various fruit trees will be planted uniformly in all suitable farmland in Koror Village.
As for what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has to do, it is to determine the location of the first fruit canning factory in the village of Koror.
This can combine production and processing and significantly save costs for both parties. It is a very beneficial cooperation choice for both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. The villagers in these three villages also benefited from this cooperation.
According to the agreement between Xu Yi and Cantona, as long as the villagers in these three villages have not yet entered the work of other chambers of commerce in Bangta City, some of them will enter the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to engage in professional agricultural production, and the other part will enter Worked as an ordinary worker in the fruit canning factory of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
There are nearly 2,000 villagers in the three villages. Apart from the old, weak, women and children and those who have already entered the major chambers of commerce in the city, there are still about 600 laborers who can work normally.
Among them, more than 300 of the youngest and strongest were all wanted to leave by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. Because even with the help of small farmland magic machinery, planting farmland is still a very physically demanding job.
Moreover, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce has contracted the farmland of three villages in one fell swoop. If they want to fulfill the grain quota that Earl Satsuma turns over to him every year, they will inevitably increase their work intensity, and even the weaker people may not be able to bear it.
In addition, about 300 laborers will work in fruit canning factories.
The work in the fruit canning factory is relatively easy. It only requires canning, filling, packaging and other simple processes. Even if you are physically weak, you can still complete it.
In fact, workers are being recruited everywhere in Bangta City. If these more than 600 laborers are willing to go to the city to find work, they can definitely find suitable jobs.
However, the farmers around Bangta City are still deeply influenced by the traditional ideas of the Sainz continent and are easily reluctant to leave their villages. So I would rather stay in my own village.
Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Cantona Chamber of Commerce are cooperating to open a large farm and fruit canning factory here, so that the furthest work location is only in the village next door. Of course, these people are very happy to join in.
Moreover, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce promises that the minimum monthly salary for those who enter the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will be more than seven gold coins, which is almost equal to all their previous income from farming for a whole year.
As for the workers in the fruit canning factory, their monthly salary is slightly lower. Xu Yi also said on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that the minimum monthly salary for workers in the fruit canning factory will not be less than five gold coins.
Even if the factory is recruiting a gatekeeper, the monthly salary will be four gold coins.
Originally, even if Cantona was from the village of Cambia, some people would still express doubts about the promises he made, so that the work in these three villages did not go smoothly.
But as soon as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce joined in, the attitudes of the villagers in these three villages immediately changed.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been established for less than two years, its reputation in the minds of people in Bangta City and surrounding cities has surpassed that of many established large chambers of commerce.
Moreover, what Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does will always be publicized by many newspapers including "Bangta Daily". Even if you don't read the newspaper, people who have read the newspaper will tell you. In addition, you can see it everywhere in Bangta City. The billboards for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's various magical mechanical products make it difficult not to know about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made the villagers feel much more at ease, both in terms of reputation and credibility.
What's more, Xu Yi came with the people from the City Lord's Mansion and got the personal approval of the City Lord.
In the eyes of these ordinary villagers, the city lord is simply a god-like existence. As long as the city lord approves something, the villagers have no idea of resistance.
So Xu Yi conducted a simple negotiation with the villagers of these three villages on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was unanimously recognized immediately, allowing this cooperation project to proceed very smoothly.
Because of this, Cantona respected Xu Yi even more in his heart. As long as it was about this cooperation project, he almost obeyed his words.
Seeing that Cantona had written down all the key points he said, Xu Yi nodded. Walk with him towards the distant village of Koror.
Before entering the village, I smelled a refreshing fragrance blowing in the wind from a distance.
Xu Yi took a deep breath, feeling the refreshing aroma brought by this fragrance, and showed a look of nostalgia.
"It's been a long time since I've smelled this smell. The last time I ate canned fruit made with rock sugar was at least twenty years ago..."
"Twenty years ago?" Canton on the side asked in confusion: "President Xu, twenty years ago you were less than ten years old. At that time, there were people who could make canned fruits? Why have I never heard of it? Did you say that such a good thing should have been spread long ago? "
Xu Yi suddenly woke up. He had just smelled the aroma of boiling fruit, but he accidentally let it slip.
"I ate it in my hometown. Only an old man could make it. I learned this method from him because I thought it was delicious." Xu Yi explained vaguely.
"Oh..." Cantona had no doubts. He just said with some regret: "It would be great if this method could be spread earlier. The fruits in our villages would not have to rot in the ground and no one will eat them."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry. I can guarantee that it won't take long. Even if there is no need for canned fruit, the fruits in Bangta City can be transported to other places on the Sainz continent for people from other countries. You can also eat fresh Bangta City special fruits. ”
"How is this possible?" Cantona obviously didn't believe it. "Not to mention other countries, just transporting it from here to Anvilmar City will take several days. If the real luck passes, I'm afraid it will be broken long ago."
"Don't believe it?" Xu Yi showed a mysterious smile. "Then just wait and see."
Seeing Xu Yi walking in front with confident steps, Cantona couldn't help but shake his head.
Although I spent a lot of time with Xu Yi during this period. But the more he came into contact with Xu Yi, the more Cantona found that he could not understand his thoughts, let alone follow his train of thought.
If Xu Yi only left an impression on him as a young, promising, energetic, visionary and courageous president of a large chamber of commerce at first, then in Cantona's eyes, Xu Yi has become more and more It becomes inscrutable.
If someone had told Cantona that the fruit could be shipped to other countries on the continent before it rotted. Cantona must have retorted without thinking that he must be talking nonsense.
But when Xu Yi said this, although Cantona didn't believe it at first, his mind turned and he thought of the miracles created by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in more than a year and the huge impact it had brought to Bonta City and several surrounding cities. Change, but he couldn't help but gradually began to believe it.
Since President Xu said it can be done, even if it can’t be done now, it will definitely be done in the future!
Thinking of this, Cantona suddenly slapped his head hard.
Why would a small person like him have to guess the thoughts of a big person like President Xu
What are you thinking about so much? It's better to follow Chairman Xu and work hard to do what you want to do, and you can naturally make money by relying on the big tree of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After figuring this out, Cantona grinned, quickly accelerated his pace, and caught up with Xu Yi in front.
