The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Chapter 772 Diversified channel income (12,100) Good night

Thinking this in his heart, Guan Guotai did not take the initiative to ask. Instead, Cao Shujie took a few red envelopes in his hand and said to him with a smile: "Director Guan, look..."

"Is this?" Guan Guotai was really confused.

Cao Shujie's behavior is not like receiving a red envelope.

Besides, he is not short of this small amount of money, and he will not ruin his reputation for this small amount of money.

"This is what they paid for taking wedding photos here. The venue usage fee for a couple is 1,000 yuan. I haven't increased the price in the past four years. It's a good conscience." Cao Shujie boasted.

After listening to Cao Shujie's words, Guan Guotai was impressed: "Shujie, I found that you are really good. You have a lot of fun making money!"

This is Guan Guotai's innermost thoughts. In his concept, an orchard is a place where fruits are grown and sold. However, Cao Shujie managed an orchard to achieve diversified income.

Money from selling fruits, fees for using the venue for wedding photos, money from selling cattle, raising sika deer, and scenic spots...

"By the way, does this scenic spot charge entrance fees?" Guan Guotai remembered something and asked him.

He admired Cao Shujie even more when he learned that Cao Shujie's cute orchard has been open to the public free of charge even after it became popular.

However, Guan Guotai also remembered a saying at this time, free is the most expensive!

First attract the people. How much value have these people invisibly created for this place?

Guan Guotai is very curious about how much money Cao Shujie earns every month?

"It's hard to say this. The main reason is that my income here is too mixed. If fruits and beef cattle are sold well, I can earn hundreds or tens of millions a month. But in normal times, I really don't make any money."

At this point, Cao Shujie pointed to the people taking wedding photos and said: "Just like now, the cattle can't be sold, and all the kiwis have been sold. Now I'm counting on them to make money for me."

"How much can you earn in a month from taking wedding photos?" Guan Guotai wondered.

Then I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's hard to say. Sometimes you can make two or three hundred thousand a month. In winter, unless the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and there are newcomers with big brains who are willing to take pictures of snow scenes, they normally can't make a penny." Arrived."

What he said is true.

But Guan Guotai only thinks that this income is incredible: "I just came to your place to take wedding photos, and I can still earn two or three hundred thousand a month?"

Cao Shujie nodded: "For example, in March and April, the fruit trees in the orchard are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. At that time, the most people come to take wedding photos. There can be twenty or thirty couples a day, and it is crowded every day. of."

"After all, two to three hundred thousand a month is normal."

"But not in winter."

"Your diversified development model is really interesting." Guan Guotai spoke from his heart.

Cao Shujie was not surprised when he was praised!

When he first started working on this orchard, he didn't think much about it. It was purely accidental. Who would have thought that this area could have such a high income.

Cao Shujie often doesn't understand that some people are really generous in order to take wedding photos.

However, some of the money from the wedding photos of the newlyweds also went into his pocket, and Cao Shujie was very happy about this.

I saw that the leaves on the kiwi fruit trees in the orchard were slowly withering, and some leaves fell directly to the ground to be used as fertilizer for the coming year.

Compared with the kiwi tree, the apple tree not far away is full of apples.

Guan Guotai pointed to the apple orchard, and Cao Shujie took him there. He could smell the aroma of apples before he even got close.

Guan Guotai swallowed subconsciously and asked him when will these apples be ripe?

"It's pretty fast. Normally, we can pick it around August 15th, which is only half a month away."

Cao Shujie spotted an apple on the fruit tree, most of which were red. He picked it off and rinsed it at the faucet nearby. He then shook the water off the apple vigorously and handed the apple to Guan Guotai.

"Director Guan, try it. It's almost cooked." Cao Shujie said.

Guan Guotai was not polite, took it, took a big bite, and chewed it in his mouth.

The juice from the apple flowed down my throat.

sweet!

So sweet!

Guan Guotai took another big bite. After tasting it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's delicious!"

These two simple words represent his truest feelings.

Taking the bitten part of the apple and looking carefully, Guan Guotai discovered that there was a layer of crystal clear bright yellow crystal-like area on the cross section of the apple.

Cao Shujie told him that it was the result of sugar accumulation.

"It just hasn't been cooked yet. If you wait a little longer, it will taste better when it's cooked."

Cao Shujie smiled and said, "Director Guan, when the apples are ripe, I will send you two boxes."

"Take two more boxes, and you might have to report to the leader." Guan Guotai said proactively.

Cao Shujie was stunned: "Real or false?"

"Isn't it necessary?" Cao Shujie felt uncomfortable at the thought of reporting to Wang Qinghui.

"Haha!" Guan Guotai laughed, and he didn't say much else.

Guan Guotai was eating apples and came out of the apple orchard with Cao Shujie. When he saw the deer park and cattle farm not far away, Guan Guotai was a little confused: "I remember you raised 20 sika deer. Why are you like this now?" many?"

"Director Guan, there are mainly 15 doe deer. Last year they gave birth to 16 fawns, and this year they gave birth to 15 more fawns." Cao Shujie said.

As of now, there are 51 sika deer in the deer park.

"That's a lot." Guan Guotai sighed, this is also a huge amount of income.

"There are a lot of those cows," Guan Guotai said, pointing to the northernmost cattle farm.

"This cattle farm just bought a batch of calves in June this year. There are more than 1,100 calves. The previous 600 calves were sold in May." Cao Shujie said.

During that time, Cao Shujie's focus was on the company and waiting for his wife to give birth. He could no longer care about the orchard, which was all handled by Cao Shuchao.

Fortunately, the selling price is pretty good.

However, the calves bought in this batch were expensive. Even if Cao Shujie bought a large amount, he still paid 5,100 yuan for a calf head.

Speaking of the price of calves, Cao Shujie could not help but complain to Guan Guotai: "Director Guan, you may not know that the price of a calf now is really outrageous."

“I remember very clearly that when I first started raising cattle, a calf cost only a few hundred yuan. In less than five years, the price of a calf has increased tenfold, which is higher than the price of housing. Very fast."

This metaphor was so vivid and vivid that Guan Guotai couldn't help laughing.

After calming down, Guan Guotai also realized the problem here, but this was the behavior of the market and Guan Guotai could not solve it.

Not to mention that he can't do it, even if his leader Wang Qinghui comes over, he can't solve it.

It can only be said that the farmers bear all the responsibility.

Coming down from the orchard on the mountain, Guan Guotai also asked Secretary Cao about the next development of Caojiazhuang.

This time Cao Shujie was smart enough not to mention the 'establishment of a research institute'. He mainly told Guan Guotai about the agricultural planting cooperatives and Zhongcheng breeding cooperatives.

Especially when it came to the beef cattle from Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative that was about to be released, Guan Guotai was surprised: "So soon?"

"It's not that fast. This batch of cattle has been raised for almost a year since we bought them in October last year. If we continue to raise them, they will not grow meat no matter how much feed they eat, and the cost-effectiveness of raising them is not high."

Guan Guotai was thinking how quickly this year passed.

After calming down, Guan Guotai asked Cao Shujie to take him to see the batch of beef cattle that were about to be slaughtered.

Cao Shujie rode his electric tricycle again and took him to the new cowshed of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative.

It is surrounded by color steel plates as walls, and the inside is reinforced with barbed wire guardrails. The middle is all compacted land, and separate cowsheds are built at regular intervals. Each cowshed can raise 3 to 4 cows.

The sun is good now, and these cows are outside basking in the sun, blowing in the wind, and taking a walk. They look very comfortable.

"How many cows do you have for slaughter?" Guan Guotai asked him.

When he heard Cao Shujie say that there were more than 6,500 cattle to be put on the market next month, he was a little confused. He asked Cao Shujie how much these cattle were worth.

"Director Guan, to tell you the truth, if the market price of beef cattle does not fluctuate significantly in the next two months, the total sales of these beef cattle should be more than 100 million yuan." Cao Shujie adopted a conservative statement.

In fact, he did some calculations and found that based on his experience in raising cattle in previous years and the weight of beef cattle for slaughter, the real price should be more than 110 million.

In addition, Xu Qingming also promised some time ago that he would buy all of this batch of beef cattle for slaughter, and the price given was 30 cents higher than the normal market price. When converted to these cattle, it may be as much as several million.

But even sales of 100 million yuan made Guan Guotai silent.

He really didn't expect that raising cattle could be so profitable.

"After you sell the cattle, do you still have to perform the profit sharing ceremony?" Guan Guotai asked him.

When he saw Cao Shujie nodding, Guan Guotai didn't know what to say for a moment.

But he realized that the next time the profit sharing ceremony was held, Cao Shujie might really become famous on the Internet.

…

For lunch at Cao Shujie's house, Cao Shujie cooked himself and cooked a few home-cooked dishes. To be honest, the taste was average, but he could eat it.

I originally wanted to have a drink with Guan Guotai, but Guan Guotai said that he would rush back to Quancheng to report to the leadership in the afternoon, so there was no choice. Cao Shujie and Guan Guotai drank apple cider vinegar drinks.

During lunch, they talked about Xuemeng Food Factory.

Cao Shujie also told him about the current situation of Xuemeng Food Factory.

For example, key data include annual sales, annual production capacity, annual profits and taxes, and how many local jobs the company provides.

At this time, Guan Guotai will also take out a pen and paper to record it.

As a rural enterprise, Xuemeng Food Factory has three processing plants. Such large sales and production capacity are extremely rare!

Moreover, Xuemeng Food Factory has so far paid tens of millions in taxes for Qingshi Town. It can be said that he has supported Qingshi Town on his own.

To put it bluntly, even if Xuemeng Food Factory wanted to cause trouble, Liu Furong would find a way to help him.

However, in Guan Guotai's eyes, the series of achievements achieved by Xuemeng Food Factory are far less brilliant than those achieved by Cao Shujie leading the three villages of Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village to establish agricultural planting cooperatives and Zhongcheng breeding cooperatives. and dazzling.

He also told Cao Shujie that the superiors are now issuing a series of documents to increase support for the development of agricultural economic development with local characteristics.

"Shujie, you must seize this opportunity." Guan Guotai warned him again and again.

What opportunity to seize?

Guan Guotai didn't say anything, and Cao Shujie didn't ask.

Cao Shujie will not change Caojiazhuang's current development plan just because of this unexpected opportunity.

He will continue along the current path.

For a long time in the future, the development of Caojiazhuang will mainly be based on agricultural planting cooperatives and planting and breeding cooperatives. As for the people of Caojiazhuang, they will rely on the street stall economy centered on Mengmeng Orchard, which is an additional income.

It mainly depends on the individual diligence of the villagers and has nothing to do with the unified economic development of the village.

It is worth mentioning that as of September, Cao Zhen’s Xinjiang Hotel branch was finally completed.

During this period, there was no rush to rush the work, and since Cao Zhenshe had the money, the newly built Xinjiang Hotel branch looked much more luxurious and elegant than the farmhouse restaurant.

After the Xinjiang Hotel branch was built, many people in Caojiazhuang came to taste Xinjiang cuisine out of the novelty.

There are also people who come to Caojiazhuang one after another. After coming, they discovered that this place has another choice in terms of dining.

In addition to these two relatively large restaurants in Caojiazhuang, people who went out to study before have also come back.

This time they reapplied for the assessment, and after passing the review of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee, they took advantage of their free time to start renovating their homes and preparing to open a small family kitchen.

For example, if a transparent roof is added to the house, five or six tables can be placed in the yard.

The unused rooms were also moved out and put in a few tables.

The house on the south side was converted into a kitchen, two freezers were put in, and after all the things were purchased, a million firecrackers were lit, and it was considered open for business.

The main focus of this kind of small family kitchen is to be economical and distinctive.

…

These people are thinking very well and are preparing to renovate the small restaurant at home during this period, just in time to seize the wave of traffic during the upcoming National Day.

It’s just that they don’t know if there are no kiwis in the orchard and there are no other recreational activities in Caojiazhuang. Will there be so many people willing to come and play?

Simply coming here for a run and having a meal doesn't seem to be enough to attract people.

This is a question worth pondering.

After Cao Shujie sent Guan Guotai away, he returned to his previous work rhythm.

She is responsible for taking Mengmeng to and from school every day, and then takes Mengmeng to the factory for lunch and lunch break at noon.

In his own time, he deals with the company's affairs.

When he got home in the evening, he helped his wife take care of the children.

During this time, Cao Shujie and Wang Zhifeng re-discussed the new rank system of Xuemeng Food Factory.
