"The equipment can be installed by the end of March."
Cao Shujie is already very satisfied with the result.
"Xue Gong, I'm leaving it to you."
"Boss Cao, you are too polite. This is what we should do." Xue Jianwei said.
…
Before Cao Shujie could take a breath after returning home from the town, Cao Shuchao called him again and asked him to go to the orchard on the mountain to have a look.
"Brother Chao, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie rode an electric bike at home to the orchard on the mountain. When he saw Cao Shuchao, he asked directly.
"Shujie, look at those 10 doe deers that are about to give birth to fawns." Cao Shuchao's face showed the joy of new life.
In terms of time, these 10 doe deer have been pregnant for four to five months. Normally, May to July this year are the days for giving birth. It is already mid-February, and there is not much time left.
"So there will be more and more sika deer in our deer park in the future, which is a good thing." Cao Shujie said.
There are more fawns, which also means that they will have more and more antlers.
Or the more female deer there are, the faster they will reproduce in the future. The original size of 15 sika deers may develop into a sika deer family.
In the long run, this is also a virtuous circle.
Cao Shuchao also meant the same thing, and the smile on his face never broke.
Every time there is an additional income in the orchard, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Shujie, I'm thinking of enclosing the area on the east side for future fawns." Cao Shuchao pointed to that area and said.
This was his purpose for finding Cao Shujie.
"Okay, Brother Chao, just ask Grandpa Zhenggang to come over for construction. If you want to buy barbed wire guardrails, call Chen Xingquan, the boss of Chenzheng Guardrails directly, and tell him that I asked you to contact me. Tell him the specifications and he will help us make it."
." Cao Shujie said.
He gave Chen Xingquan's phone number to Cao Shuchao.
These things were all done by his own contacts in the past.
But now, as there are more and more orchards, farms, factories and other projects, Cao Shujie sometimes has no time to spare and has to do some things.
It is also about cultivating people.
If he had to do all the work by himself, he would be exhausted and wouldn't be able to finish it.
Cao Shuchao is no longer like when he first came to Cao Shujie's orchard. He has difficulty communicating with others, is a bit shy when speaking, and is even embarrassed to speak to strangers.
After three years of training, Cao Shuchao has become more and more mature as he has met more and more people, and he is now able to stand alone.
To give the simplest example, even if Cao Shujie goes out for a month or two, there will be no problem in the orchard.
After the fruit is ripe, Cao Shuchao can handle it quickly, how to collect it and how to sell it.
It is no longer like before, you have to ask Cao Shujie for instructions on everything to know what to do next.
But when it comes to money issues, no matter how much, Cao Shuchao will always ask Cao Shujie for instructions.
He knows very well that there are some things that he can handle, but there are some things that he must not deviate from!
…
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Shuxu called Cao Shujie again and asked if he was free to go to southern Henan.
Cao Shuxu also said on the phone that if Cao Shujie went, he and Xu Daihua would be waiting there in southern Henan.
"Brother Xu, okay, I'll make some arrangements here and go there tomorrow." Cao Shujie agreed.
The equipment at the factory is still being installed and will not be completed until the end of next month. There is no point in Cao Shujie waiting here.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to visit southern Henan.
If the project is really good, he will invest a sum of money, but the amount of money invested should not be too large.
He also has to retain enough funds to ensure the normal operation of the factory.
Compared with last year, the good thing about this year is that banks have more loan lines.
If funds are really tight later, Cao Shujie can go to the bank to ask Ma Changrong for help and get a loan.
But it’s hard to say. By the end of next month, the 20 acres of strawberries planted in his orchard last year will be ripe. It’s hard to say how much more strawberries he planted last year. By then, he will have an income of about four million.
If this number had been before the first half of last year, the couple would have been happy until midnight, and they would have hit a home run together and scored a hole-in-one.
But after the second half of last year, when Cao Shujie really started to invest in the factory, he has been in a state of "lack of money", and his income of several million is far from enough.
However, Cao Shujie has considered this investment. If he really wants to invest, he would rather have fewer shares and the total investment should not exceed 5 million.
When he was about to go home from the factory in the town, Cao Shujie said to Cao Shulin: "Brother Lin, bring some clothes with me for a long trip tomorrow."
"Where are we going? This side of the factory..."
"Let Cao Shuju take care of the factory first. My wife will come over tomorrow, so it's not a big problem." Cao Shujie said.
When Cao Shujie said this, Cao Shulin said nothing else and nodded in agreement.
"Brother Lin, can you drive?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Shulin nodded: "I know a little bit, but I'm not familiar with it."
Speaking of this, Cao Shulin remembered that someone else had already arrived, and he hurriedly said: "Shujie, a man named Song Baoming from our factory came to apply for a driver yesterday and said that you asked him to come. I was so busy that I forgot to give him the driver's license.
You said this."
After Song Bao got his salary before next year, he quit his job as a public transport driver, and after the New Year he came to report to Cao Shujie's factory.
But Cao Shujie was not here yesterday, and the two of them missed it.
"Just let him come. I'll run a long distance tomorrow and there will be a driver." Cao Shujie was very happy.
He was thinking that after returning from abroad, he would put up the framework of the factory. Some administrative positions still needed to recruit professional talents.
The people in Caojiazhuang are good at their jobs, but some of their positions are useless.
"Then I'll give him a call and ask him to come to work tomorrow?" Cao Shulin asked.
Cao Shujie nodded and told him to tell Song Mingbao to bring two extra clothes when he goes to southern Henan on a business trip tomorrow.
"Okay!" Cao Shulin agreed.
When Cao Shujie returned home from the factory, he told his wife about going to southern Henan tomorrow.
Cheng Xiaolin already knew about her husband's plan to invest in data lines and asked him: "Are you going by yourself tomorrow? Can you do it alone? Otherwise, I will go with you."
"No, I'll ask Brother Shulin to accompany me tomorrow, and there will be a driver driving the car." Cao Shujie made it clear to his wife, telling her not to worry.
"When did you hire the driver?" Cheng Xiaolin really didn't know.
Then hearing her husband talk about poaching bus drivers late last year, Cheng Xiaolin almost laughed out loud: "How could you do such an immoral thing?"
"Why are you so unethical? This is a good thing I did. The bus company can't pay wages, so Lao Song and the others won't have money to support their family. Our factory should at least pay wages normally."
This is true, and Xuemeng Food Co., Ltd. continues what Cao Shujie did in the orchard, paying wages at the end of each month or at the beginning of the next month.
This is unique in the entire Qingshi Town and even Pingyuan County.
With someone accompanying her and a dedicated driver, Cheng Xiaolin no longer has to worry about her husband's safety.
When her husband asked her to go to town tomorrow to watch the factory, Cheng Xiaolin happily agreed.
"Shujie, let me tell you something." Cheng Xiaolin looked very excited.
Before Cao Shujie could figure out what was going on, he heard his wife say: "Shujie, how much do you think a Bitcoin is now?"
Seeing that his wife was more interested in him than him, Cao Shujie thought to himself, could he fall even more seriously?
He has been very busy during this period and has not been able to read it.
"Didn't it fall to more than 600 last time? It has fallen again recently?" Cao Shujie said casually that he had no plans to buy recently.
In Cao Shujie's mind, if the price of Bitcoin becomes very cheap next year, when his money comes out of the stock market, he may be able to buy less, but he will not buy as much as before.
"A dollar of more than 600 US dollars has almost lost half of its value." Cheng Xiaolin told her husband about the trend of Bitcoin in the past two months since December last year.
After falling below 600 US dollars in early December last year, Bitcoin has risen to a maximum of more than 900 US dollars in the past two months. However, it has fallen again recently. Seeing the trend of falling below 600 US dollars again, Cheng Xiaolin was wondering whether to let it go
Her husband buys it now and sells it when the price goes up again.
"Honey, I find that your thoughts are quite beautiful." Cao Shujie said this.
There was a strong sense of ridicule in the words.
Cheng Xiaolin was not happy. She stared and said, "Shujie, what do you mean? I keep watching out of kindness, but I don't want you to make more money."
"Honey, don't worry about Bitcoin for now. The money we have is all useful now. At least we won't have any spare money to buy it this year."
"If you have time, just keep watching. When this time next year, I take the money out of the stock market, you see what the price is. If it is not high, we will buy some more. If the price is too high, forget it.
.”
Cao Shujie said: "I still want to wait until the price is higher and sell all the remaining 20,000 coins."
For Cao Shujie, buying Bitcoin was just something he did along the way in his life, just like he started buying stocks last year.
If the general trend remains unchanged, this is free money. It does not waste his time at all, and does not require him to spend much time and energy thinking.
What he really wants to do is an orchard, a breeding farm, a factory, and a family, but it is never stock or currency speculation.
After listening, Cheng Xiaolin felt a little ashamed, as if she was obsessed with money.
…
On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie took a change of clothes and drove his GL8 to the factory in the town.
Pick up Song Baoming and Cao Shulin who are waiting at the factory, and Song Baoming drives them towards southern Henan.
"Master Song, are you still used to it after coming here?" Cao Shujie asked halfway.
The last time we met, Song Baoming was still a driver of urban and rural buses, but this time he became the driver of Xuemeng Food Co., Ltd.
Originally, Song Baoming was worried about whether he would be able to adapt after coming here, but after meeting Cao Shulin and the others, Song Baoming's worries disappeared.
"They are all very good. I feel that the atmosphere in our factory is better than that of our bus company," Song Baoming said.
This is a fact. At the bus company, due to poor management in the past few years, wages and bonuses have not been paid out in time. Everyone is lifeless at work and seems to have no hope for the future.
On the other hand, Xuemeng Food Co., Ltd. is a new company that has just prepared to put into production.
Here, everyone maintains good expectations for the future, just like the rising sun versus the setting sun, the two atmospheres are completely different.
"Master Song, just get used to it."
They rested in the service area for half an hour on the way. Cao Shujie still wanted to drive, but Cao Shulin replaced Song Baoming in advance, and the two of them drove alternately.
We set off from Qingshi Town at around 9 a.m. and got off the Henan South Expressway intersection before 5 p.m.
It was getting dark by this time.
Cao Shujie called Cao Shuxu and asked where they were, and then told Cao Shuxu that he had gotten off the highway and was about to go to them.
It was only half an hour's journey from the highway intersection to the hotel where Cao Shuxu and the others were staying.
After stopping the car at the place, Cao Shujie and the other three got out of the car and saw that Cao Shuxu was already waiting for them.
Next to Cao Shuxu, there was a young man who looked to be in his mid-thirties.
Cao Shujie thought to himself, this person could be Xu Daihua.
When the two parties met, after Cao Shuxu introduced Cao Shujie, the young man beside him was indeed Xu Daihua.
"Boss Cao, I have long admired your name." Xu Daihua and Cao Shujie said while holding hands.
Seeing that Cao Shujie is so young, Xu Daihua couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Today's young people are more powerful than the last.
Especially in Shencheng, he has seen too many young people who have successfully started their own businesses.
Every time he gets along with them, Xu Daihua always feels like he is getting old.
And those young people are really amazing. Their ideas are completely different from his own. To a certain extent, Xu Daihua feels that there is a gap between them.
"Shujie, I have already booked a room for you. You have traveled all the way and are very tired. Let's go have some food later. You have a good night's rest. I will take you to the factory you want to rent tomorrow."
After hearing what Cao Shuxu said, Cao Shujie was not polite.
In the evening, I had some dinner with the two of them. After the three of them got to know each other, they allowed Cao Shujie and the others to rest.
Cao Shuxu and Xu Daihua also took a rest early.
Early the next morning, they had breakfast together and drove two cars, one behind the other, towards the factory that Cao Shuxu and Xu Daihua were planning to rent.
The factory is in the suburbs, more than half an hour away from where they live.
Stopping the car and looking at the somewhat old factory in front of him, Cao Shujie did not 'judge a book by its appearance'.
"Brother Xu, how much is the rent here?" Cao Shujie asked.
But what Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Shuxu told him that because they had just arrived, the negotiations hadn't been completed yet.
In fact, the two of them also wanted to wait until Cao Shujie came over to see if this place would work.
If Cao Shujie really agrees to invest, Cao Shujie and Xu Daihua will definitely have Cao Shujie involved in this new factory.
