Chapter 491 Fallen leaves return to their roots (300.01 million)
"Shujie, your area is really quite big." Second brother Cao Shuxin said.
"It's okay. The equipment hasn't been installed yet. Once all the renovations here are completed, the equipment will be shipped over. Once the equipment is installed, this place won't look too big."
Cao Shujie pointed to the workshop to his cousin, sister-in-law and uncle, talking about the layout here and what he was going to do next.
"At the beginning, I planned to make preserved fruits. This thing is easy to store and easy to promote."
"Shujie, why don't you make fruit drinks? Isn't the market wider?"
My sister-in-law Zhang Yi is a little curious. She thinks that the main consumer group of preserved fruits is children, not many adults. The elderly basically do not eat this food.
On the contrary, it should be wider than fruit drinks.
"Sister-in-law, I also want to make fruit drinks, but now the market is controlled by a few big manufacturers. It's too difficult to break out of the tight encirclement."
"In addition, it requires a lot of investment to develop that thing. I don't have that much money now, so I'd better do it bit by bit. First make some products and expand the market."
This is what Cao Shujie thought and did.
Everyone knows that it is easier to make money by making fruit drinks, but the problem is that there is actually a big threshold for making money easily.
This first hurdle is difficult for many people.
Zhang Yi really hadn't thought about this aspect. Hearing what his cousin said, Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed: "Shujie, you are right. Take it step by step. First explore the market and then consider doing something else after accumulating some funds."
of."
Cao Shubin said to her: "What do you know? If Shujie can open a factory, he must have considered it more comprehensively than you."
Zhang Yi glared at him: "Shubin, do you have a problem with me?"
Cao Shubin turned away without saying a word. Several people looked here for a while, always feeling that something was not quite right.
After thinking about it, the eldest brother Cao Shubin asked: "Shujie, do you not have a warehouse?"
"Yes, I also built a cold storage on the land north of the factory, not far from here."
Cao Shujie also said that there was also construction there and he would take them there to take a look later.
After all, it hasn't been installed here yet, and the equipment hasn't started production yet. Several workshops were quickly completed.
They then came to the construction site of the cold storage and saw a group of people pouring the ground and building a fence around it. There were also people doing surveying and mapping. They should be preparing to build a cold storage.
"I bought this land. The land in the town is much cheaper than the land in the city."
Cao Shujie pointed to this piece of land and told his two brothers and sister-in-law that there were 15 acres of land in total, and the land construction cost more than 3 million, and he sounded like he was making a huge profit.
Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin also stopped talking at this time.
The things his cousin did were beyond their imagination.
When Cao Jianlin saw the orchards, farms and factories built by his nephew, he bluntly said that his nephew seemed to have changed as a person.
Cao Shujie smiled after hearing this, turned back to his two cousins and said, "I should go to Xinjiang in October. Will you go then?"
"National Day?" Cao Shubin asked.
Except for holidays like this, Cao Shubin can't really ask for leave for as long as a week.
Cao Shujie thought for a while, and it would be fine if the National Day goes by. Adilijiang, Aksu, Bayir, Nalati, Toheti, and Abdulla specially emphasized that they would not sell any apples this year when they came here last time.
Leave it all to Cao Shujie.
This favor is very heavy. The apple harvest season is coming soon, and Cao Shujie will definitely go there.
During the National Day, when apples are falling from the trees, negotiate the price with them and sign a contract. After the cold storage is built before the end of the year, we will directly arrange a special train freight train to transport the apples and store them. We will wait for the debugging in the factory to start at any time.
Mass production.
Not to mention there is no cold storage in Qingshi Town that can store 5,000 tons of apples at one time, even in Pingyuan County there is no such large fruit and vegetable cold storage.
Facing their cousin's invitation, Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin originally wanted to refuse, but Cao Shujie said that their grandfather would also go with them.
"Are you driving?" Cao Shubin asked.
The distance from Dongshan Province to Xinjiang is not close, it is more than 3,000 kilometers. If you drive there, the 7 days during the National Day holiday are really not enough for a round trip.
Cao Shujie told them: "Brother, I definitely can't drive when there are so many people at that time. My plan is to fly there. If you want to go, please send me your ID card information. I will book the tickets in advance after a while and wait until I leave."
At that time, we will meet up at Quancheng Airport and just take a plane there. When we get there, a friend will arrange a car for us, so you can rest assured."
"I will discuss it with your sister-in-law and the others." Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin did not agree directly.
But they were really excited. They hadn't taken their family to Xinjiang for such a long time. His cousin was going there this year, and they thought this was an opportunity.
Moreover, his wife also said some time ago that she wanted to travel far away to explore the outside world!
Thinking of this, Cao Shubin was a little curious and asked him: "Shujie, by that time, the apples in your orchard should also have fallen from the trees. Aren't you watching?"
"Brother, didn't I tell you? There will be people watching when the time comes, and the apples will fall from the tree just in time. I will pick some and take them with me to share with my friends over there." This is what Cao Shujie said.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with your sister-in-law later and give you an answer as soon as possible." Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin went to find their wives to discuss the matter.
Not surprisingly, both Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing agreed.
They also asked their younger brother and sister Cheng Xiaolin about their trip to Xinjiang during the National Day.
Cheng Xiaolin had never heard her husband talk about this matter before, but she knew that her husband's visit during the National Day was probably related to harvesting apples.
Thinking back to what Adilijiang and the others said when they came over during Labor Day, Cheng Xiaolin was even more convinced of her own thoughts.
"Sister-in-law, let's go over there and play together. The roasted whole lamb over there is really amazing, especially delicious."
Cheng Xiaolin also didn't forget that Adilijiang's family roasted a whole lamb when they invited them to dinner. Still thinking about it, the taste reminded her of it.
Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing were more certain of their intention to go to XJ.
What's more important is that it is already mid-August, and there is only one and a half months before the National Day. If you are busy, this time period is actually very short.
It seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin have to go back to Anyi City, and one of them has to work.
In addition, brothers Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin also have to go to school tomorrow, so there are still a lot of things to do.
But the uncle Cao Jianlin has nothing to do and wants to stay in his hometown for a few more days to spend time with his old father Cao Zhenghu.
Cao Zhenghu is 84 years old this year. At this age, to put it bluntly, he may not be dead one day.
Cao Jianlin doesn't want to leave any regrets for his father when he is old.
In addition, he rarely returned to Caojiazhuang over the years, and he even felt like returning to his roots after falling leaves.
Moreover, he actually has an old house in Caojiazhuang, but no one has lived in it all year round, and the house has long been destroyed.
He went to see it and found that all the wooden beams in the house were broken and the roof collapsed.
Taking this opportunity, Cao Jianlin even thought of rebuilding the house.
Before the two sons left, Cao Jianlin called the brothers aside alone to discuss the matter with them.
Although he has some pension, building a house cannot be solved by spending ten thousand or eight thousand yuan.
If it were to be covered, the money would ultimately fall on brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin.
The brothers really didn't expect that their father would suddenly mention this matter. Moreover, even if they built a bungalow, it would cost about 100,000 yuan these days. If they were divided equally between the two brothers, 50,000 yuan per person would be a lot.
Less but not less.
In addition, their father has his own house in Anyi City, so they wonder if it is necessary to build a new house on the old house in their hometown?
Moreover, brothers Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin had communicated in private about an issue. Over the years, the three of them have been working hard outside, and their relationship with their hometown is actually limited to relatives of their grandparents.
They thought about finding a cemetery in Anyi City when their father Cao Jianlin passed away a hundred years later.
In other words, the two brothers actually have no idea of "falling leaves returning to their roots".
Or they have already positioned their "roots" in Anyi City from the bottom of their hearts.
"Dad, building a house is not a small matter. How about this? You live in your hometown for a while first, and we will discuss it again when you return to Anyi City." The second eldest son, Cao Shuxin, said this.
At this time, the eldest brother Cao Shubin noticed that his father was a little embarrassed.
"Dad, don't worry. After you go back, if you still want to build a house in your hometown, that's fine. Do you think this will work?" Cao Shubin's tone softened a little.
Cao Jianlin nodded and told them to take their time on the way back, and asked them to call him when they returned to Anyi City.
Seeing the second child's GL8 heading northeast and disappearing from sight soon after, Cao Jianlin suddenly sighed.
He looked at his brother Cao Jianguo next to him, with a particularly complicated expression on his face.
"Jianguo, now I understand why our father is unwilling to go to Anyi City this year." Cao Jianlin suddenly said this.
Cao Jianguo opened his mouth but said nothing.
When they were about to go back, Cao Shujie said to his uncle: "Uncle, if you really want to build a house, it's not difficult. I remember that your and my second brother's household registrations are still in our hometown.
There is also land. Calculating there are two acres of land per person, if you plant four acres of kiwi fruit, you can earn enough money for the house in one year."
"Can it still be like this?" Cao Jianlin was really moved.
He didn't expect that Caojiazhuang still had his own land, which made him feel a stronger sense of belonging.
Cao Shujie said: "I'll check later. Your household registration has not been moved. Theoretically, you own the land."
This is indeed true.
At this time, Cao Jianlin became more interested in building a house in his hometown.
