Ding Zhongming didn't dare to ask anything directly, and it was hard to inquire indirectly. After all, this kind of thing was too sensitive.
But he already had an idea, and he felt that he must find an opportunity to have a good talk with Luo Ziling and express his feelings implicitly.
Soon, the group of people entered the orchard.
At the end of April, the cherries in Jiangnan are all ripe.
The cherry season in Jiangnan is coming to an end during the May Day holiday. It can be said that now is the best time to pick cherries.
Spring is almost over in the south of the Yangtze River. The peach, pear, and plum trees in the orchard are all bearing fruit, and there are no flowers in sight.
Yang Qingyin was very sorry about this. She smiled and said to Luo Ziling: "If you come here in mid-spring, it should be very beautiful here."
"In spring, the south of the Yangtze River is a sea of flowers. You can never see the scenery everywhere in the south like in the north. The flowering period of the peach blossoms by the West Lake is more than half a month later than the fruit trees. Now the peach blossoms have all faded, and there are only orange blossoms.
"It's blooming," Luo Ziling said with a smile: "Tomorrow in spring, let's spend time in Jiangnan. When the flowers in Jiangnan bloom and fade, we will go back."
"In summer in the south of the Yangtze River, there are fruits everywhere. Don't you want to eat fruits?" Yang Qingyin smiled playfully, "Looking at those red cherries, my mouth is watering."
"Go in and pick it yourself. Fruits that are picked and eaten fresh are the best. Don't worry about hygiene. The old man just said that they don't use pesticides. At most, there is only some dust. It doesn't matter if you eat some soil."
After listening to Luo Ziling's words, Yang Qingyin immediately called Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan and went in to pick cherries and eat them together.
"Uncle, this brother, they all went in to pick cherries. I have already told them that they will not pick randomly. When the time comes, they will pay you according to the price." Luo Ziling did not go in to pick cherries. He went over with Jin Fangliang and
His father said hello, "Don't make any fuss, let them do what they want. Come, you all sit down, and I will check your body."
Afraid that the two of them would not believe it, Luo Ziling used his mobile phone to find a previous report related to him, and after letting the father and son read it, he proudly said: "My medical skills are very good, you should believe me. However,
I was injured some time ago and I don’t have the energy to treat you, but I can help you check your body. I won’t stay in Yuezhou all the time. If you have any illness, you can go to the hospital for treatment. There will definitely be someone to help you get medical insurance.
, and your treatment costs will be reduced or exempted. With officials like them helping you organize things, you don’t have to worry."
"Thank you so much!" Jin Fangliang held it in for a long time and finally said this, "Without you, we, father and son, really don't know what we would do today."
"It's your story that has infected us. You are lucky to meet each other in this life. I hope you can live a more stable life in the future." Luo Ziling said straightforwardly: "I originally wanted to donate some money to you, but I know that you
Definitely not. Otherwise, I will contract the income of your orchard for the next ten years, and the money will be paid to you in one lump sum now. But I also have requirements. You must take good care of these fruit trees. I will come here every year.
Taste. If we can't finish the fruits, others will pick them. I can't eat so many of the chickens and ducks you raise, so it's up to you to make the decision." Luo Ziling said, looking at the father and son with a smile, "
How about it, are you willing to cooperate?"
Jin Fangliang and his son did not expect Luo Ziling to make such a suggestion, and they were a little unbelievable.
Jin Fangliang wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't.
He knew that Luo Ziling still wanted to help him, and wanted to help him realize his dream of building a house as soon as possible, living in it with his old father and enjoying a new life. This temptation was very real, very big for him, and it was not a charity. He really
He couldn't say no.
"Okay!" Finally he gritted his teeth and agreed, but added another reminder: "The approximate lifespan of these fruit trees is ten to fifteen years. It has been four years since they were planted. I'm going to see the harvest starting to grow, and it will get better every year."
The annual harvest is good, but after a few years, the harvest will gradually decline. You have to take these situations into consideration."
Luo Ziling shook his head: "I don't want to know this. I just want your guarantee that the quality of the fruit must be guaranteed and there must be no pollution. I don't require any quantity."
"Okay!" Jin Fangliang agreed again.
"How much do you estimate the fruit from your orchard can be sold for in a year?"
After Jin Fangliang thought for a while, he gritted his teeth and reported a number: "About five to seventy thousand."
"What about the cost?"
"About two to thirty thousand."
After Luo Ziling thought for a while, he said: "Let's do this. I will give you 100,000 yuan a year and sign a ten-year contract with you. I will give you one million yuan at a time and contract your fruit output for ten years. Is that okay?"
Jin Fangliang was shocked by the number reported by Luo Ziling. For him, one million dollars was an astronomical figure that was elusive but unattainable.
He also knew that it would be possible to sell the fruits grown in his orchard for one million yuan within ten years. But the cost would be quite high every year. The real benefits would not be realized even in a year.
Tens of thousands of dollars.
Luo Ziling promised to give him one million at a time. Although he was physically disabled, his brain worked well.
If one million dollars are deposited in the bank for a fixed term, the annual interest will be at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, which is more than what they earn from growing fruits and raising chickens and ducks in a year.
He also knew that Luo Ziling was helping him.
He doesn't want others to pity him, so he instinctively wants to refuse.
But before he could speak, Luo Ziling said again: "I don't want to hear your excuses. I just want you to ensure the quality of the fruit. To tell you the truth, although I am from Yuezhou, I rarely come back here, so
Many times, we need you to help us deliver the goods. We will not pay you for the express logistics costs, they are all included. And it may also be sent to other friends. The cost of hiring people when you pick is all paid by you. And
, there is inflation every year, and these are all yours. In real terms, we take advantage. Spend a little money, and you can eat fresh and pollution-free fruits every year. What a cost-effective thing."
With that said, without waiting for what the father and son said, he waved his hand: "That's it. Just listen to me. I won't cheat you."
"Okay!" Jin Fangliang finally agreed, "Then it's up to you. To be honest, I really need money. Without money, I can't build a house. The foundation we approved is about to expire."
"Okay, we'll talk about the specific situation later. I'll check your health first, and I'll go in to pick cherries later. Seeing how happy they are eating makes my mouth water."
"Thank you so much!" Old Man Jin's mouth was trembling. He wiped his tears while thanking you, "You are really my benefactors!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Jin Fangliang also thanked him.
Seeing the father and son like this, Luo Ziling suddenly felt warm in his heart.
It feels really good to help people. (To be continued)
