Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 390 One hundred million? That's so little?

Living at home is naturally more comfortable than living at school.

Can't get used to the food at home?
This is probably inevitable.

After all, the food served at the academy comes from farms.

At least 99 percent of the students at the school can't afford it.

"If you don't want to go home for the New Year, then bring your family here," Xu Yue said. "The college cafeteria should be open during the holiday, right?"

“Of course,” Xue Jing said. “Among the students, there are definitely some who will postpone their return home and come to school early. Of course, it’s mainly those people in the lab; I’m afraid very few of them will go back.”

"You can decide what to do," Xu Yue said. "If they want to bring their families over for the New Year, that's something we can consider."

"Wouldn't that be inconvenient?" Xue Jing asked. "There are many top secrets within the academy."

"You should discuss this with my brother," Xu Yue said. "It's not like you can't go anywhere from the academy."

The laboratory is not a place one can easily go to, not even for Xue Jing.

But in other parts of the college, especially the dormitories, there weren't so many rules.

"Row!"

Xue Jing nodded.

He actually wanted to bring his family over for the Chinese New Year.

He also wanted his family to try the school's food.

He wanted to share good things with his family.

"and many more!"

When Xu Yue saw that he was about to leave, he called him back, then went inside and brought out two bottles of wine and two boxes of tea.

"Take this back with you as a New Year's gift."

Xu Yue placed two bottles of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine in front of Xue Jing.

Xue Jing glanced at it and was taken aback.

What a good thing!

"I wouldn't dare accept a gift from someone else," Xue Jing said with a smile. "But since you're the principal, I won't stand on ceremony!"

If a subordinate gives you an expensive gift, it raises suspicion of bribery.

Can it be given by your boss?
That's the welfare of subordinates.

He had heard of the famous Peach Blossom Spring Wine during his six months in the area.

In addition, the tea was also something he was craving.

Taoyuan Tea is now just as famous as Taoyuan Immortal Wine, and perhaps even more so.

Although the price is high, it's still far inferior to wine.

Many people drank it.

Xue Jing also bought some, but he doesn't drink it occasionally.

I don't dare drink it every day.

It's just something to satisfy a craving occasionally.

The main reason is that it is too expensive.

It's basically the most expensive tea on the market right now.

However, he heard that Xu Yue's tea was even better.

It is said to have been cultivated from a century-old wild tea plant that Xu Yue dug up from the mountains, and it is much better than the tea produced in the tea mountains of Taoyuan Village.

That's not for sale.

Good things should be kept for personal enjoyment.

Xue Jing's visit this time was certainly not just about the holiday.

There are still many things at the school that need to be reported to Xu Yue, and there are also some things that need Xu Yue's approval.

Xu Yue smiled as he watched Xue Jing's departing figure.

Xue Jing is very capable, and the school is managed very well.

He is also very good at maintaining a proper balance.

She knew what she could decide on her own, and what she needed Xu Yue's approval on.

With the Spring Festival approaching, Xu Yue has quite a lot to do.

Although he doesn't attend any company summary meetings, and neither the farm nor the agricultural trading company holds any annual meetings or team building activities, they basically just offer cash discounts.

However, Tian Yizhi and Huang Liang would generally report to him.

They all focused on highlighting the key points in their reports.

They knew Xu Yue's personality very well.

The agricultural trade company is doing quite well now. Even without the Taoyuan series, it is still a fairly large agricultural trade company.

However, the agricultural trade company's profits still depend 99% on Taoyuan Farm.

Taoyuan Farmers Market experienced rapid growth last year.

Especially in other aspects.

Don't underestimate that one percent return.

And Taoyuan Farm?
The development this year has been even more rapid.

The desert farm has expanded, and the mineral water plant has expanded.

Local farms have also expanded.

In addition, environmental protection companies, desertification control companies, beverage factories, wineries, and other businesses were established.

The environmental protection company has already taken shape and is showing signs of expanding beyond Suzhou.

As for the desertification control company, it is still investing heavily in building laboratories and has not yet started to make a profit.

However, making a profit is only a matter of time.

Besides, that was originally intended to lay the foundation for the farm.

As for beverage factories and wineries, they naturally haven't started making a profit yet, and they don't even have raw materials in sight.

However, the profits are much better than last year.

Ginseng no longer accounts for the majority of profits.

With high profits, expenses have naturally increased significantly compared to last year.

Renting land costs money, and with more employees, wages naturally increase as well.

Of course, these are all minor expenses.

The real big expenditures are on investments in beverage factories, wineries, and laboratories.

As for the cost of renting the desert, that's not a big expense.

The laboratory is still under construction, but the desert surrounding it covers millions of acres.

Correct!
They rented out millions of acres of desert around each laboratory.

It is many times larger than a desert farm.

But a mu (unit of land area) only costs a few hundred thousand yuan, and it's a 70-year property right.

One million mu only amounts to tens of millions.

Of course, laboratories are being built in all eight major deserts and four major sandy lands in China, covering a total area of ​​tens of millions of acres.

But that's only a few hundred million.

Moreover, the government has provided significant preferential policies.

Although it's several hundred million, it's still not as much as the investment in wineries and beverage factories.

"A bumper harvest this year?"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and looked at Xu Yue. She knew a little about the development of the farm.

“Of course,” Xu Yue said with a smile, “but the greatest harvest is still at home.”

Following Xu Yue's gaze to the two sleeping babies in the crib, Zhang Ruoxi naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

"I'll earn more dowry and bride price for these two little ones next year."

Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile that the farm might see even greater development next year.

After all, not only can she help, but there should also be someone at the academy who can help.

When Shen Yu and the others came to visit before, she could tell that only Mu Xiaoyan was a little behind. She estimated that the other four would all be able to enter the second realm in the first half of next year, and would probably be able to assist Xu Yue in the second half of the year.

Of course, Li Zihan was the one who reached the highest level of cultivation.

That little girl has already broken through to the second realm.

She is now at the second level of the dual realms, which shows just how amazing her talent is.

It's estimated that in a few years, he'll probably surpass her parents.

So terrifying.

That little girl must be the most talented one in the school.

It's estimated that no one expected her to be the third person to enter the second realm after Han Lingxue and Academician Meng.

“They’re still several months away from their first birthday,” Xu Yue said with a smile. “You’re thinking too far ahead. Besides, I think it’s probably better to let them earn it themselves. I don’t want to see them become spoiled brats.” “You’re thinking even further ahead than I am,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Didn’t you say before that you wouldn’t be afraid of them squandering the family fortune if you earned enough for them?”

“People change. Besides, there’s no contradiction,” Xu Yue said. “Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.”

“Meiting Garden enters three realms.”

Zhang Ruoxi didn't continue the topic and then spoke up.

"I really don't know that," Xu Yue said. "Who told you that?"

When Mei Tingyuan arrived, his cultivation was not as high as Li Zhuting's, but he was still in the late stage of the second realm. It is not surprising that he has now broken through to the third realm.

Her daughter not only reached the second level in martial arts, but also in farming techniques.

Such talent must have been inherited to some extent.

If so many resources are invested and a breakthrough still cannot be achieved, then one's talent is questionable.

“I’ve seen her at my third uncle’s place before,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Sister Wang Yun should be able to enter the second realm next year.”

Wang Yun has good talent; the key is her hard work.

If it weren't for the pregnancy delay, I probably would have already entered the second realm.

Of course, this is related to the environment of Taoyuan Village and the usual diet.

With talent and resources, it's not surprising that they can break through quickly.

Next year, there will be even more experts in Peach Blossom Village.

At least those people recruited before are probably all able to enter the second realm, and Guo Endu is expected to enter the third realm.

Of course, Guo Huai should be ahead of him.

Perhaps we won't need to wait until next year; we can achieve a breakthrough before Chinese New Year's Eve.

“The number of experts in Peach Blossom Village will increase,” Xu Yue said. “However, while many will reach the third realm, how many will actually reach the fourth realm?”

“Perhaps there will be more and more experts in other places as well,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “This is also directly related to you, such as Qingcheng Mountain and Longhu Mountain.”

Xu Yue smiled and did not deny it.

With the world undergoing strange changes, cultivation resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the cultivation world is naturally declining year by year.

But Xu Yue's appearance changed this problem.

Not only are cultivation resources increasing, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also growing.

At least that's the case in Taoyuan Village.

With the development of Peach Blossom Farm, who knows, a golden age of cultivation might just arrive.

However, both Taoyuan Village and the country have gained the upper hand, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Has Third Uncle been stuck at the peak of the Third Realm for a long time?"

Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask.

Now that she is also at the third realm, her eyesight is naturally much better than before. She can sense Xu Jianghe, but she is not confident.

“Hmm!” Xu Yue said, “Otherwise, why would I say that the fourth realm is difficult? However, with Third Uncle’s talent, he shouldn’t be stuck for long. Besides, even if it’s just a matter of grinding, he can still grind his way into the fourth realm.”

How to grind it?
Just throw resources at it.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough.

Previously, there simply weren't enough resources to allow people to achieve such breakthroughs.

Yes, Xu Yue has them, and a lot of them at that.

Therefore, Xu Yue was never worried about whether Xu Jianghe could enter the four borders.

That's just a matter of time.

As for Xu Chengyang?
That's hard to say, after all, he's getting old, and he hasn't been focusing his energy on martial arts training.

"What about the Five Realms?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked casually.

She has just entered the third realm and is still only a glimpse of the fourth realm, but that does not prevent her from learning more.

“The Five Realms nurture the primordial spirit, which cannot be achieved simply by throwing resources at it,” Xu Yue said. “Of course, it might be possible, but I haven’t even seen a glimpse of the Five Realms yet, so what right do I have to speak on this?”

The Five Realms, how many years has it been since they appeared?

The last person who was suspected of entering the fifth realm was several hundred years ago.

"Do you think there were people in ancient times who cultivated a Yang spirit and could roam the heavens and earth?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked with a hint of longing.

"I suppose so," Xu Yue said. "Otherwise, how could there be nine realms of cultivation?"

"How long can a Yang God live?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "I'm only at the third realm, but I feel like I can live to be around a hundred years old."

"Who knows?" Xu Yue said. "I'm at the fourth realm, and I feel my lifespan is less than two hundred years."

The fifth realm gives birth to a primordial spirit, and lifespan should also increase, but the exact amount is unknown.

Besides, that's only in theory; who can guarantee it in practice?
There are too many factors that can affect lifespan.

As for the Yang God, that is the eighth realm.

That's too far from Xu Yue.

Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather through a gradual process.

Xu Yue wanted to say something more, but the child woke up, and the two of them lost their interest in chatting.

At the end of the year, Xu Miao also made a trip.

"The pharmaceutical factory's profits are quite high this year," Xu Miao said. "I plan to set aside a portion of the funds for the company's development, and distribute the rest."

"Go ahead and split it up, you can handle this."

Xu Yue said indifferently.

Pharmaceutical factories may be profitable, but compared to farms or agricultural trading companies, the difference is enormous.

He naturally didn't care.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical factory was already under Xu Miao's management, and Xu Yue hadn't even assigned anyone to handle the finances.

Xu Miao was also responsible for the company's management, operations, and development.

Shareholder dividends?

Xu Yue didn't care at all; his family only owned 10% of the shares, so how much money could they possibly get?

"How about we share one hundred million?" Xu Miao said. "We still have several hundred million left in the books."

"So little, oh no, so much?"

Xu Yue was a little surprised.

How many hundred million did the pharmaceutical company earn last year?
This was somewhat unexpected by Xu Yue.

After all, that pharmaceutical company was only recently established and not very large.

So few?
Xu Miao's lips twitched.

Xu Yue's subconscious words left him speechless.

But what can be said?

For Xu Yue, one hundred million is indeed very little.

He didn't know how profitable the farm was, but he could guess a bit.

"The main source is military orders," Xu Miao said. "As for the drugs on the market, they've just been rolled out, and sales should skyrocket next year. Doubling profits should be a piece of cake."

"So that's ten million for a 10% share?" Xu Yue asked. "My family's shares were divided between my father and his two siblings by my grandfather. You can just transfer the money directly to their accounts."

Ten million is nothing to Xu Yue, and even to Xu Jianghe, it's not much either.

Wang Yun's net worth is quite high.

However, it's a different story for Xu Jianglin's family.

Although Xiong Yong owns a Taoyuan Hotel in the county, he is only one of the shareholders.

Moreover, how many wealthy people are there in a county town?

If Gong'an City's tourism hadn't thrived because of Taoyuan Village, the business might not have lost money, but it certainly wouldn't have made much.

Even though there are many tourists, they don't earn much money.

It would be good if Xiong Yong could earn a few million a year.

But the cost is obviously not small.

Ten million is definitely not a small amount for him.

As for Xiong Yan?

She's a top-tier internet celebrity with millions of followers, but she doesn't sell products, and she's basically turned off tipping during her live streams.

Of course, it's profitable, since there's also revenue from advertising and other sources.

But over a year, it's estimated to be only a few hundred thousand to a million.

Of course, that's enough for her.

Besides, Lu Zhenyu is also a wealthy man.

"Ten million?" Xu Jianghe said with a smile, "My family doesn't seem to have any need for money. How about I transfer it to you later? Don't my family still owe you tens of millions?"
