Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 407 It’s just like picking up money (1/2)

May 20th is not only a good day in later generations, but also a good day for Jiapigou on this day in 1985.

On this day, Liu Qingshan and members of the village committee, on behalf of Jiapigou Cooperative, formally signed a contract with foreign businessmen to purchase yew saplings.

The contract value is expected to be between US$1 million and US$1.5 million.

Even in this era of limited information, this information quickly spread throughout Bishui County.

The streets are filled with all kinds of envious remarks:

"Oh, it is indeed a Wan Yuan Village. Jiapigou is amazing."

"I think they are heading to the Hundred Thousand Yuan Village. No, who knows how to join that cooperative? I don't even need an urban household registration!"

"Don't count on it, kid. I heard from my sister-in-law's second uncle's neighbor's cousin that he has a neighbor named Guo who retired from the original winery and was recruited by the Jiapigou Cooperative."

"I can also do masonry work, let's try it too!"

Unconsciously, this news also laid a solid foundation for Jiapigou to recruit talents in the future.

Of course, while some are happy, others are worried. In Qingshan Township, in the Laoye Ridge Development Office, Qi Shengli was getting angry:

"Brother Dongfang, I'm just confused. Why is it that Jiapigou can make money as easily as drinking cold water? This contract has only been contracted for less than a year, and it has completely paid back!"

Chen Dongfang was sitting at his desk, discussing something with his subordinates. He looked up at Qi Shengli:

"Don't worry, our Laoye Ridge side will also be making money soon."

Now, the peak season for harvesting wild vegetables has entered. Chen Dongfang is currently cooperating with Qianjin Village adjacent to Laoye Ridge to harvest wild vegetables.

According to Qi Shengli's idea, he would hire villagers directly and pay two or three yuan a day. Everyone should be willing to do it.

However, Chen Dongfang felt that the effect of this would definitely not be good, so he followed the example of Jiapigou and divided the income: the income from harvesting wild vegetables would be divided according to 28%.

Of course, it was their contractor who made the lion’s share of the money, 80% of it.

At present, it seems that the enthusiasm of the villagers in Qianjin Village is relatively high.

But Qi Shengli still felt unhappy and muttered: "How much money can you make by picking wild vegetables? Tell me, why are you so lucky over there in Jiapigou?"

"Shengsheng, we just need to work hard to be ourselves, and the days of making money will be later."

Chen Dongfang persuaded him a few more words, and then he and his men began to study the instant noodle factory, urging the Japanese side to transport the equipment, and when the factory was built, trial production could be carried out.

"How far is the instant noodle factory over Jiapigou now?" As a competitor, Chen Dongfang is still more concerned about this.

"I heard that we are going to the island country to buy equipment. Mr. Chen, should we..."

A subordinate reported.

Of course Chen Dongfang understood what he wanted to express and shook his head gently: "We can defeat them openly in the business field without resorting to those shady means."

In fact, in his heart, Chen Dongfang still admires Liu Qingshan. After all, compared with the yew saplings sold to island countries, the batch of saplings Liu Qingshan sold to him were really a good price.

After Liu Qingshan and the others signed the contract and returned to Jiapigou, when the villagers heard the news, they almost started beating gongs, drums and setting off firecrackers.

Marshal Zhang rushed out of his house with a butcher's knife: "Old party secretary, when you kill a pig, you must kill a pig to celebrate!"

Zhang Ganzi wailed: "Shuai Zhang, can you celebrate in a different way? Can we kill the chicken instead?"

"Don't eat pork if you can."

Others also denounced Zhang Zhanzi. You cannot affect the improvement of the lives of the whole village just because of your feelings.

The old party secretary also clicked his small pipe happily: "Is one pig enough?"

On this hot day, the pork can only be kept for a day or two at most, so one pig is obviously enough.

"Liu, my dearest friend, why are they so happy?" Next to Liu Qingshan, there were several foreigners standing, all looking at the cheerful villagers curiously.

This is Leo and his girlfriend Ruth, another Mediterranean-haired and, of course, graceful profiteer Victor.

These three people happened to come to Liu Qingshan to check the growth of morels this year and further deepen their cooperation, so they were brought back to the village by Liu Qingshan.

Victor actually didn't make much money last year. He was mainly promoting the market.

This year, he is ready to go all out and work hard, and even get back his capital and profits.

That's why I rushed to Jiapigou, don't try to open up the situation. When the supply of goods is cut off, it would be strange if Victor didn't cry and fainted in the toilet.

Liu Qingshan chuckled: "As the saying goes, it's great to have friends from far away. Of course, I welcome friends like you who come from far away."

Leo and Ruth were so happy with these words that they blew kisses to the villagers frequently.

This made the villagers wonder: This foreigner is also very greedy. As soon as he hears about killing pigs, he is eager to eat them, right?

Of course a profiteer like Victor is not so easy to deceive: "Liu, be sincere when you treat your friends."

Liu Qingshan was happy: "Haha, Victor, we just concluded an export business, so everyone is very happy."

"Export business, what to export?" Victor asked alertly.

"Of course it's morels." Liu Qingshan continued to lie.

Victor suddenly became anxious: "Oh, my friend, how can you do this? We have agreed that I will buy all the morels you have here."

Liu Qingshan shrugged his shoulders: "The price offered this time is relatively high. As you know, we are a cooperative here. Many things are not decided by me alone. Everyone needs to vote together."

Victor put his head in his hands: "Liu, I can also raise the price!"

"Haha, this is what you promised yourself, and you are not allowed to go back on it." Liu Qingshan was immediately happy.

Only then did Victor realize something was wrong. He seemed to have been fooled, but there was no problem. Raising the price, even by one cent, was a price increase, right?

Liu Qingshan stopped talking nonsense with him and started talking about business:

"Victor, I am just about to discuss this issue with you. As you know, our country's economy is developing rapidly, so prices are also rising."

"Then the price of the morels we produce this year will also increase by 10%. Is this reasonable request?"

Victor could only accept his fate: "Liu, just do as you say."

He also knew that Liu Qingshan's request was very reasonable and he did not deliberately cheat him.

If you really want to cheat him, you will definitely raise the price significantly.

The villagers were happy here for a while. Marshal Zhang led two people to kill the pig, and the rest dispersed, each doing their own thing.

Liu Qingshan took Victor and others to his home for a sip of tea, and then suggested: "My friends, you can go see those cute morels now."

Victor also had this intention, so he followed Liu Qingshan out. When he saw Liu Qingshan casually finding a few earthen baskets, giving one to each person, and then walking outside the village, Victor was a little puzzled:

"Liu, don't you need to drive?"

When he thought about it, it had to be at least in the mountains far away. If he walked there, it seemed a bit far.

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "You don't need to drive, you can pick it when you leave the village."

When they walked outside the village, Victor and the others were immediately stunned. On the ditch beside the road, morels were growing densely, in clusters, and they could not see the edge at a glance.

"How could this happen, Liu, did you plant it?"

Victor rubbed his eyes, and then he was sure that what he saw was not an hallucination.

It seems to have been planted.

Liu Qingshan actually nodded. Last year, Professor Wang and his students accidentally cultivated morels and further mastered the method of cultivating bacterial strains.

In fact, it is similar to cultivating black fungus mycelium. In terms of technology, there is no difficulty.

In the spring of this year, we started to practice and spread the bacterial material with bacterial strains over a large area, and then the current situation emerged.

In fact, as long as the climate and soil conditions are suitable, you can grow it by just messing with it; on the contrary, if the natural conditions are not met, all your efforts will be in vain.

Maybe this is God's gift of food.

While talking, two guys, Ruth and Leo, had already rushed forward with baskets, squatted on the ground, and started picking morels.

That's right, just pick it up.

"Oh, Liu, you guys are just picking up money here."

Victor shook his head, and his small hair became messy in the spring breeze.

After picking for a while, Ruth and Leo felt that it was not enough. They started fishing like a kitten and lost concentration. They trotted forward and picked the big ones into the basket.

Liu Qingshan had to shout from behind: "Be careful, watch your step, don't step on the morels."

There is a joke about this: Some villagers went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, and others asked: What are you doing?

"Going to pick mushrooms."

"How did you pick it?"

"You step on them with your feet. There are too many mushrooms. You can step on several of them with just one step."

Today's morels can probably be described in this way, so Victor lamented that they were "picking up money".

In the distance, there are also teams of men, women, and children harvesting morels. Among them are the team from Jiapigou, as well as villagers from Dalinzi and Shoulin Village.

There is nothing we can do, there are too many morels, and Jiapigou’s manpower alone is really too much to harvest.

You must know that the harvesting period of morels is also very short, only two or three days. After the expiration date, the wrinkled edges will rot first.

In one spring, you can harvest two seasons of morels at most, and they will stop growing during the rainy season.

Time is short and the task is heavy, so all available forces must be mobilized.

As for a small part of the profit being distributed, it is better than rotting in the ground.

Black-faced Li Hu and white-faced Li He from Dalinzi are also among the harvesting team.

As soon as Li He stood up and straightened up, he saw two more people in front of him. He took a closer look and was shocked:

"Damn it, even foreigners came to us to grab morels!"

When Li Hu heard this, he thought it was a good thing and rushed forward at full speed, shouting: "Stop, stop!"

Leo and Ruth didn't understand, and stared blankly at the black-faced and white-faced children running across from them.

"Which of your villages is authorized to collect morels here?" Li Hu asked with a dark face.

Li He next to him blinked: "Huzi, you should ask this, which country are you from, and why do you come to us to steal business?"

The hazy sky was gray and black, showing heavy depression, as if someone had spilled ink on the rice paper, and the ink soaked into the sky and blurred out the clouds.

The clouds overlapped and blended with each other, spreading crimson lightning and rumbling thunder.

It was like the roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that were bustling in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog, and sometimes vigilantly observing the surroundings.

It seems that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement will cause it to take off instantly.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely buried its head in the belly of the wild dog.
