BXBX NOVEL Chapter 274 - 274 Support from All Sides!
Firstly, Gu Qingming contracted 200 acres of land this year and attracted the attention of all the young people. She rented out their families’ fields and paid three years of rent at once.
These rents could pay for some family expenses!
However, everyone only wanted to have fun. Moreover, at the end of the year, with some money, they could buy a few pieces of new clothes to wear.
Therefore, as soon as the money was in their hands, many people went to buy new clothes!
It was not the new year yet, but many people were already wearing new clothes.
This added a new atmosphere to the village!
As soon as Gu Qingming’s 200 acres of land were signed, she had already begun to build greenhouses.
Before the greenhouses were built, they started hiring people to work. They plowed the land and dug canals, pools, and ridges.
As promised, priority was given to those who rented land.
The wages were based on the market price. The women worked for 60 dollars a day, while the men worked for 80 dollars. With more than two hundred acres of land, Gu Qingming hired close to 40 people and a small excavator.
It was much more convenient to use an excavator to dig a ditch pool than to have it done manually.
There was also the plow, which was also a machine.
The people were hired to do things that machines could not do, like taking care of the ridges.
With more than 200 acres of land, it took three days of work.
The villagers were very happy when they received the money in their hands.
This was just the beginning. There was still work to do in the future. It was really much more worth it than farming alone.
They could get the rent and get paid for their work.
After the work was done, they started to build greenhouses.
There were more than 200 acres of land divided into four villages. Each village had 60 to 70 acres of land, and they needed to build four greenhouses. The cost of each greenhouse was more than a million dollars.
Hearing about the cost of building the greenhouses, the villagers were speechless and amazed.
They knew that Gu Qingming’s family was very rich, but they did not expect them to be so rich.
They had yet to start planting, but they had already built greenhouses. They had already spent a few million.
Four greenhouses cost up to six million dollars.
In the future, they would have to plant something and a lot of things in the fields to earn back the millions.
This greenhouse was very different from the greenhouses that the villagers had seen in the past although it looked similar.
It was also different from the greenhouse that Gu Qingming had experimented with previously.
This was said to be the most advanced smart greenhouse in the country. The greenhouse was all built with glass, making the interior look spacious and transparent.
The most valuable thing about this greenhouse was its intelligence!
The automatic control system of the greenhouse operated based on the information collected by the sensors such as temperature and humidity, soil moisture, and soil temperature in the greenhouse. It was connected to the central computer for display, alarm, and inquiry.
The monitoring center would display and store the sampling data received in a form, before comparing it with the set alarm value. If the actual value exceeded the set range, the monitoring center would use the screen to activate the alarm and print the record. At the same time, the monitoring center could issue a control command to the on-site controller. The monitoring center could control the wind machine, pump, and other equipment to cool and dehumidify according to the command, so as to regulate the environment of the crops in the greenhouse. The monitoring center could also activate the acoustic and light alarm device on the on-site monitoring system through the warning command to inform the greenhouse management to take corresponding measures to ensure the environment in the greenhouse was normal.
The villagers had never heard of such a smart greenhouse, let alone seen it.
Therefore, when the smart greenhouses were built, not to mention the villagers of Stoneback Village, many villagers in the surrounding villages also came over to watch when they heard about it. They were very curious about this kind of greenhouse.
It had to be rare. Building such a greenhouse was a waste of money in their view. How could ordinary people without money build it?
It was said that building such a smart greenhouse was extremely expensive. However, Gu Qingming found a connection and built it at the lowest price!
“How rich is the Shi family’s son-in-law? He didn’t even blink when he threw a few million!”
“But no matter how rich you are, this isn’t the way to play, right? The Shi family didn’t even stop it. This is a few million, right? F*ck, you can buy a few houses in the county city with that amount of money!”
“With so much money, I can just deposit it in the bank. Even the interest can cover our family’s living expenses. With so much money, what else can I do?!”
“Didn’t they say that her family is a multimillionaire? With a few million, is her family is still a multimillionaire?”
“What are you asking? 99,999,000,000 is still a multimillionaire!”
The villagers were speechless.
“Speaking of which, what’s so good about this smart greenhouse?”
“Who knows! We’ll know when they plant it!”
“What is she going to plant? It can’t be rice, right?”
“How is that possible? How much is this rice worth? If they were to farm, they have to plant those valuable things! By the way, for example, her uncle’s watermelons were sold for five dollars per catty this year. If we plant watermelons, we’ll definitely earn millions!”
“But it’s her friend who accepts her uncle’s watermelons! When she grows watermelons, will the purchase price be higher?”
“That’s hard to say! Those who do business are all smart people. Who doesn’t want to earn money?”
“No, her family is already so rich. Why are they still farming?!”
Other people farmed for money, but she farmed to spend money! It was simply enviable!
However, no matter how envious they were, Gu Qingming did what she had to do!
Gu Qingming had already planned what to use these 200 acres of land for. These seeds were cultivated from space. They were definitely free of impurities and pure essence.
Other than planting greenhouse rice, she would plant ordinary vegetables such as cabbage, eggplant, green melon, winter melon, pumpkin, tomatoes, and so on.
At the same time, Gu Qingming wanted to plant some watermelons, melons, papayas, and so on.
To plant so many types, Gu Qingming calculated. These lands sounded vast, but they were actually not big.
...
However, in the first year, she was still in the experimental stage. In the future, she would definitely have to expand the planting area!
What were Gu Qingming’s plans? Be it the Shi family, the Gu family, or the Mo family, they were all going along with her and supporting her.
The Shi family was not as rich as the Gu family, but they supported her with all their help.
The Gu family, on the other hand, was supported with money!
In any case, the Gu family had plenty of money. Not to mention a few million, even if it was a few hundred million, as long as Gu Qingming was willing, the Gu family was willing to invest.
In any case, the wealth of the Gu family would belong to Gu Qingming sooner or later. This money was for her to spend.
The Mo Family, for now, could only silently support her!
When Gu Qingming needed to find all kinds of resources, they would silently build bridges behind her back and help.
In short, it was only the early stages, and the people around her were providing support with money and effort!
However, what no one expected was that Gu Qingming, who had originally intended to tinker, ended up tinkering as a worldwide agricultural tycoon!
It was really unexpected!
