Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 87 Bowing to the Time (18 views, please subscribe!)

Grandpa shook his head, his eyes filled with a sense of resignation to the passing years.

Ten years ago, Shen Yuting's uncle and aunt didn't have much money.

The family was extremely poor.

Medical expenses are not cheap.

Neither of them made any money!
It was only in the last two years that my aunt and uncle's lives improved.

They had suggested treatment at the time, but my grandfather refused.

It can be cured, but it's pointless now.

When you get old, what difference does it make whether you get treatment or not?

"Ding! System has issued a task!"

"Help Shen Yuting's grandfather heal his leg, reward: one blind box from the system, 50 experience points!"

Xu Mu heard the system notification in his mind, even though there were no system tasks.

Xu Mu also wanted to cure her grandfather's leg.

After all, on the way here, Shen Yuting had told Xu Mu that her grandparents were very kind to her, often secretly giving her money, bringing her food, and letting her live in the old house.

However, Pang Wenshan is truly a scoundrel!

"Grandpa, with how advanced medical technology is these days, this leg can still be treated!"

"Now that I'm back, and I've even reunited with Tingting!"

"I'll pay for your leg treatment!" Xu Mu said earnestly, holding her grandfather's hand. "Consider it my way of repaying you all for all the years of care and support you've given Tingting!"

“Xiao Mu, I know you mean well, but it’s really unnecessary! I’m almost seventy years old. What’s the point of healing this leg? It’s a complete waste of money. You don’t earn money easily, there’s no need to waste money on old people like us…”

Grandpa shook his head, took the cigarette Xu Mu offered, and said softly, "Now that Tingting is better, let her live a good life from now on. We two old folks really don't have many years left to live..."

Both the maternal grandparents spoke with a tone that conveyed a sense of despair about life.

The pain of losing their daughter was still too much for them.

"Grandpa, you have such good consciences, how could you only live a few years? You should at least live to be a hundred years old, so you can see Tingting get married and have children! You should also be great-grandparents!"

"Grandpa, listen to me." Xu Mu pressed down on her grandfather's hand and said seriously, "You are Tingting's grandfathers, but you are also my grandfathers. I certainly won't stand by and watch your lives be affected!"

"Yes, Grandpa, please, come with us to the hospital, it can be cured!"

Shen Yuting also chimed in, "Brother Xu Mu is capable!"

"Okay... I'll go with you guys to take a look!"

Shen Yuting chatted with the two elders for more than half an hour before Xu Mu decided to get up and say goodbye.

However, before leaving, Xu Mu put 20,000 yuan under her grandparents' pillows.

Consider it a small way of making amends!
After leaving her maternal grandparents' house, Xu Mu did not rush back to the city, but went back to the breeding farm to pick up Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang is still working like a slave in the factory!
When Xu Mu arrived at the farm, he didn't see the two people there.

"Brother, where is this?"

Shen Yuting looked curiously at the huge breeding farm in front of her.

"This is a business your brother invested in; it's all about raising turtles, and it's quite large-scale!"

"I plan to let your brother Wang Qiang work here in the future."

"Is that so..." Shen Yuting nodded gently, her eyes full of doubt and curiosity. "Then what does he do?"

"We'll have him do live streaming on Douyin," Xu Mu explained. "The plan is for him to sell turtles on Douyin."

"This way, we can achieve a certain sales volume."

Xu Mu made a phone call to Wang Qiang.

But the call indicated that the phone was out of service area.

Okay, Xu Mu understands now. They must be inside the turtle room... because this cold storage panel has the ability to block signals.

Xu Mu searched for a while and quickly found Wang Qiang and Bao Yong.

The two of them indeed studied turtles in the greenhouse.

"Let's go, time to eat!"

Xu Mu looked at the two of them and said, "It's so late, let's have dinner first."

"Row."

Bao Yong and Wang Qiang walked out of the greenhouse.

The two of them were soaking wet, as if they had just taken a shower.

"You guys are really something! It's like you just took a bath. Doesn't it get unbearably hot in there?"

"It's hot, but there's nothing we can do. Even a turtle has to do its research, right?"

Wang Qiang, on the other hand, didn't care.

He has suffered a lot in the past.

This is nothing...

The two tidied up at the factory, and Wang Qiang put on a piece of Bao Yong's clothing.

The four of them then went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

After a quick meal, Xu Mu took Shen Yuting back to the city.

Then he drove home.

It was just past midnight.

The system notification sounded on time.

A notification appeared on my phone that 40,000 yuan had been deposited into my account!
With his current daily income of 40,000 yuan, Xu Mu has a stable monthly income of 1.2 million yuan.

That's 14.4 million a year!

Twelve months!

Awesome!
However, another notification tone sounded at the same time.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the task of updating 10,000 words per day for thirty consecutive days! Reward: one blind box and 50 experience points!"

"Current experience points: lv3 (100/400)!"

"Would you like to open the blind box, host?"

"Turn on!"

Xu Mu had almost forgotten about this task, because ever since he received the system's reward, he had triggered the Tentacle Monster function, and he could write about 100,000 words a day, with a fixed daily update of 10,000 words, which was very comfortable!
Moreover, the system did not require him to write every day.

The statistics are based solely on the website's 10,000 updates.

"Ding! We've transformed the host into the richest person and enhanced the host's aura!"

"The host will be rewarded with a Patek Philippe Nautilus Model 5740."

"Please go to the Patek Philippe boutique on Nanjing Road in Shanghai to collect your item!"

"Damn it, what's the point of giving away a watch... we can't sell it!"

Xu Mu had absolutely no interest in these luxury watches and cars.

Cash is more practical.

But right now, there's only a cold, hard ten million in the account, which really can't do anything... Just a few days ago, Xu Mu invested in this and that, spending several million.

Because none of these things can be sold for money!

Grass!
You said it could be sold for money, and Xu Mu would gladly accept anything you gave her... It's a pity it can't be sold.

Just fucked up!

Either give it away or keep it for yourself.

It’s hard to do...

Eh?
Xu Mu suddenly thought, if he gave it away, could he sell it to someone else and get money from them?

I grass!

Once the idea came to him, Xu Mu felt it had great potential!

Xu Mu opened Baidu and searched for the retail price of the watch.

830,000!

Tsk... Pretty average!

The items the system is giving out are getting worse and worse!
"Ding! The system has issued a growth-oriented task!"

"Please continue to maintain this level of 10,000 words per day for 365 consecutive years."

"Received a system blind box, 50 experience points!"

"???"

"Are you fucking trying to kill me?!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened.

I'm crazy.

If it weren't for the tentacle monster skill rewarded by the system, to be honest, Xu Mu would have just given up on this task... Does this damn system really not know how hard it is for writers?

Especially for someone like Xu Mu, who is not good at typing, it would take four or five hours to write 10,000 words a day, and he would have to slack off in between... It's really, really difficult!

Xu Mu previously thought this useless skill was worthless.

Looking back now, it was pretty awesome.

At least it can help me complete the growth tasks released by the system.

Thinking about it further, weren't the medications given to improve physical fitness before also intended to complement the subsequent fitness training?
The system's arrangements are so reasonable!

Got it!

The next morning, Xu Mu unusually stayed in bed longer than usual.

Xu Mu just wanted to sleep a little longer because she was going to Shanghai in the afternoon.

It's rare to finish everything.

Xu Mu has been quite busy these past few days!
Shouldn't we get some rest now?
Taking a break now and then is for better growth!

Xu Mu got up at 11 a.m.

We rode in the Maybach driven by Wang Qiang to the farm.

After picking up Bao Yong, the three of them floored the gas pedal and sped off towards Shanghai!

Of course, besides going to Shanghai, Xu Mu also had to pick up his car and Patek Philippe.

Another simple and unpretentious day.

Before 3 p.m., the three of them arrived at the Shanghai Shangge villa district.

With a swift, sparking motion, he parked the car in front of Wang Xiao's underground parking garage.

He dialed Wang Xiao's number, "Wang-san! Open the door!"

"Why are you here so early? I'm still sleeping!"

Wang Xiao's languid voice came through the phone.

"It's already 3 p.m. and you're still sleeping? You call this early? It's not like it's 3 a.m...."

Xu Mu was dumbfounded!

However, Mr. Wang is indeed in a tough spot. He manages two villas all by himself, and his girlfriend isn't even around.

The two partners were always playing cards... Whether it was raising turtles or wholesaling and selling them, it was all handled by Mr. Wang alone.

Every morning, the first thing I do when I open my eyes is smoke, feed the turtles, and touch their eggs!

Eat a meal, smoke a cigarette, chat for a while, and then go to sleep.

Another day passed.

So Wang Xiao is still very lonely!

A person has no friends and no one to talk to.

Only when chatting with people online can I find a little bit of a way to kill time.

"Get up, hurry up!"

Xu Mu shouted, "Or you can open the roller shutter for us first."

"understood."

Wang Xiao hung up the phone.

Then, the roller shutter door in front of us opened.

Xu Mu and the other two went inside.

The cigarettes were placed on the table on the first floor.

Wang Xiao scratched her messy hair and slowly walked downstairs in her pajamas. "Why are you guys here so early? You usually arrive around 5 or 6 pm, which is when I'm just getting up to brush my teeth, wash my face, feed the turtles, and pet their eggs."

"And why are there three of you today?"

"This is Wang Qiang, the new guy at our turtle farm who does live streaming on Douyin!"

"Didn't you hear you had your turtles arrive? Come straight over and pick them up!"

“There’s no rush.” Wang Xiao picked up the black Liqun cigarettes that Xu Mu had given him, opened a whole carton, took out several packets, and distributed them to the three of them.

Then, he opened a pack, lit one, and said, "Since I called you guys, I definitely left it for you! I tell everyone else who calls or messages me that I don't have it!"

"But you can take quite a lot this time... Many hatchlings have emerged, and a batch of hatchlings I held back in the first half of the year have grown quite big now. If you need more turtles, you can just take them!"

I'll give you a discount!

"Sure, I'll take everything you have here for sale!"

"Besides buying turtles, we came here today to talk to you about the factory..."

Xu Mu looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Our turtle farm has just received 20 million in investment, and there's also a new turtle farm with 100 million in investment! Our idea is that since you want to go solo and break up the partnership, you might as well just go with us!"

"The site and funding are all in place. We'll move all your breeding turtles over there in the next couple of days, and then you can provide guidance there for a few days..."

"The second half of the year is almost here, so we need to start stockpiling a lot of goods, pouring all our funds into the market, stocking up on some goods to sell next year, and then doing some live streaming and retail..."

Xu Mu briefly explained his plan to Wang Xiao.

"Really? Over a hundred million? With that kind of money, you could buy out all the big companies!"

"Of course it's true." Xu Mu smiled and chuckled... just waiting for you to ask.

Xu Mu slapped Bao Yong on the shoulder. "Bao Yong, take out your phone and show it to President Wang. Show him our account balance!"

Taking the phone, Wang Xiao didn't show much emotion, simply nodding, "Great, you guys are doing well!"

What price should I pay?

"Annual salary of one million."

"Add another 10% of the shares!"

"How about it?" "Great!" Wang Xiao nodded and agreed. "With a profit of 60 million a year, I'll be considered a man earning several million a year!"

"We've just stopped production recently, so I'll see if we can call a Lalamove truck to take all my goods to your Tianji County."

"I can go along and have some fun, and rest for a few days... It's been hot lately, so there aren't many turtles to sell."

Selling turtles is seasonal, basically in two cycles.

Spring and autumn are the two seasons.

They hibernate in winter and in summer because the weather is too hot; if they are released into the sun too soon, they are likely to die from the heat.

Every year, they experience a sudden death of turtles due to the extreme heat.

The losses from this aspect alone are considerable!

"Okay! It's settled then?"

Xu Mu looked at Wang Xiao and said seriously, "I'll take stock of the goods you have later and then I'll give you the cash directly!"

"I don't need to cash it out. Just consider it as my investment. To be honest, these few million won't make much of a difference if I put them into your business. Giving me money is useless. Just this one year's dividends are enough!"

Xu Mu had originally planned to spend money to acquire the breeding turtles from Wang Xiao and include them as company assets.

But to my surprise, Wang Xiao directly invested based on this.

Actually, there's not much difference between investing or not.

They don't lack the millions of dollars, but they do lack the millions of dollars worth of tortoises.

I brought the turtle in, and honestly, it smelled really good.

"Then you pack your things, let's find a place to eat!"

"Let's talk about this further..."

"sure!"

After a quick wash, Wang Xiao showed Wang Qiang around the turtle house.

Touch the sandpit that needs touching. Even though it's the off-season, with so many breeding turtles, one or two will inexplicably lay some eggs.

So Wang Xiao was able to touch some eggs one after another and then put them into the incubator.

The four of them rode in a Maybach to Xiangli Renjia.

They often ate at this restaurant, and the manager already knew Wang Xiao.

We ordered their signature soft-shelled turtle and chopped chili fish head, and the four of us sat in the restaurant eating and drinking.

Wearing slippers and drinking baijiu, Wang Xiao looked at them and said, "With so much capital, you must have a lot of turtles to acquire!"

"I reckon we'll have to start running around the whole country to find markets!"

"Isn't this just to get you on board? You have such a wide network of connections, you can just make a call and see what goods they have to buy."

“That’s true…” Wang Xiao nodded.

Over the years, Wang Xiao has been involved in the tortoise industry, and his network of connections in the wholesale sector is quite extensive.

At least that face is very valuable.

If he wanted to sell turtles, he could just say the word and a ton of people would call to pick them up.

"Let's get my breeding turtles over there first and settle them in properly before we talk about anything else."

"But with so much money, you can't possibly only be making one species of mud turtle!"

"One hundred million! I don't even know what kind of turtle I should buy!"

"Our plan is to get 10,000 of each variety..."

"That's outrageous!" Wang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it. "You really need dozens of acres of land to grow this thing!"

"And I estimate the annual losses to be terrifying!"

Because Wang Xiao has so many assets now, the three partners together should have around ten million, and they lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of turtles every year.

If it's hundreds of millions, then the losses in a single year would be extremely staggering!
Because some turtles are really impossible to manage... and if you don't take care of them, they'll just die suddenly.

Although the turtle farming industry is very profitable, it's not enough to just see people eating meat without seeing people getting beaten up.

Only she knows the bitterness and tears behind it all.

"Even if you only consider the cheapest musk turtles, hatchlings are 50 each now, so 10,000 would only be 500,000... If they're breeding turtles, they're 500 each, so that's only 5 million..."

"A single 'fruit pit' turtle is currently 3,000 yuan, and a breeding set of one to four can be bought for around 10,000 yuan. A set of four turtles, so 10,000 breeding turtles would be 2,500 sets! That's 25 million yuan! The main problem is that there don't seem to be that many breeding turtles in the whole country!"

"With 10,000 breeding turtles, the fruit pits will produce 100,000 to 120,000 hatchlings a year."

"At 200 yuan per seedling, 100,000 seedlings a year would bring in 20 million yuan... If you do this, you'll destroy the market!"

"And there are other low-end helmets, razors, and the like... I don't even want to think about it!"

Wang Xiao thought about it more and more and it seemed exaggerated. "But when I think about it, I can't actually collect many varieties. I think it's better to collect a small number, such as box turtles or yellow-margined box turtles. Although I don't know much about these kinds of turtles, the market for them seems to be okay."

"Especially the Yellow-margined Box Turtles, they've been very stable these past few years... And then there are the Narrow-bridged Turtles. With high-priced turtles like the Narrow-bridged Turtles, a breeding stock of eight hundred or a thousand can earn tens of millions a year!"

"That's outrageous! That's way too outrageous."

Wang Xiao shook his head more and more as he thought about it.

I never dared to dream of this...

So many turtles, just thinking about it makes my head spin.

"There's so much work, I can't possibly do it all by myself, can I?"

"No, we'll hire people!"

"That's good..." Wang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

Tens of thousands of turtles, operated by myself.

We could work all day and still not finish!

People are dying from exhaustion.

Although he enjoys raising turtles and the pleasure of touching their eggs.

But the thought of getting up before dawn to feel for eggs, only to look up and find it was already dark, was something Wang Xiao couldn't accept...

too tired!
Earning those millions is incredibly lucrative.

"Mr. Wang, do you have any ideas?"

"It's doable! I happen to have some friends who have turtles they're ready to sell, but I don't have the money to buy them."

"Moreover, by buying turtles, I can reduce their costs, which will significantly lower our own costs. The money saved can be used to buy more turtles... That's right, if we follow the strategy of raising and selling turtles simultaneously, we can probably make a lot of money in a year!"

Wang Xiao gradually began to immerse himself in the role.

The thought of the money pouring in made Wang Xiao feel that this was a very, very promising opportunity!
Moreover, based on my interactions with Xu Mu over the past year, neither of them are the type to be petty or calculating.

Therefore, this cooperation is feasible.

Wang Xiao disliked partners who were petty and calculating.

Some goods are sold to repay favors.

Some things are done to repay favors.

It's okay to earn a little less money.

But favors must be repaid.

That way, they'll sell you turtles again next time.

That's how business works; you have to have a long-term vision.

After the four of them finished their meal, they drove to Jiangnan Yue Foot Bath Club.

This time, Xu Mu did not book a private room alone; instead, the four of them were in the same private room.

If there were any topics we didn't finish discussing, let's find another place to continue.

Halfway through the conversation, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered something and made a phone call.

"Hey? Bro, do you still have that batch of seed turtles you were going to get last time?"

"I want to take it over!"

"Oh dear, I've been really interested! But the price isn't right! Can we talk about it? We'd like to buy it all together..."

Wang Xiao touched his chin.

After stroking his chin, he took out another cigarette and continued, "I know you're old enough, but you don't have any males."

"If we don't have any males, we'll have to spend time finding some, but we don't even know if those males will be usable. If they end up laying unfertilized eggs, then it'll all be for nothing."

"Look, it's been on the market for so long, but no one has taken it over. I'm just sincerely trying to talk to you... If you think it's a good deal, we'll come to Qingchi tomorrow!"

Wang Xiao launched into a long speech over the phone.

Xu Mu and the other two all turned to look at Wang Xiao.

That's how Wang Xiao conducts business.

It was very refreshing.

If you can do it, do it; if you can't, then forget it.

Xu Mu and Wang Xiao did business the same way. They would agree on the price beforehand, and then inspect and pack the goods directly upon arrival. There was no need for further discussion... because everyone was straightforward, and having come dozens of times and cooperated with Wang Xiao for millions of yuan, they had basically made money every time.

Occasionally there are some items that don't make a profit, but they're still enough to cover the costs.

"You still want 2200... then bro, we have nothing to talk about! What I mean is, either we should grab the sizes according to 8+9+10+, take stock of the sizes, and calculate the price according to the uniform size, otherwise if you say you want 2200, and the smaller sizes make up the majority, then we'll be in big trouble, right?"

"right?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Wang Xiao continued, "You told me at the beginning of the year that the price would drop from 2500 to 2200, and given the current market price of the fruit pits, I estimate that it will drop further. We are keeping them for breeding. If you say there are a lot of 8+ ones, the current market price for 8+ ones is only 1400, and we would lose 800 on each one. Then this business is not worthwhile!"

The old man remained silent for a long time on the phone, finally just sighing, "Well then, come and take a look tomorrow!"

"Okay, send me your location and we'll come over tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiao looked at Xu Mu and said, "Do you guys remember this guy? I told you at the beginning of the year that he had over a thousand female fruit pits, but the size he quoted us was 8-12cm. He asked for 2500 at the time, but I didn't take it..."

"And this kind of package starts at over two million. If more than half of them are 8+, we'll be in big trouble... And the market is still declining, so we'll lose at least half a million."

Playing with turtles is similar to playing the stock market.

They spent two or three million to buy a thousand breeding turtles, but due to market fluctuations, the price fluctuated, with each turtle costing a difference of one or two hundred, or even two or three hundred.

If the price continues to fall, that's a difference of 500 to 800; for 1,000, that's a difference of 500,000 to 800,000!

I can't bear it at all.

Moreover, this kind of thing simply can't be sold when prices drop!

You might say raise them... but the time cost of raising them is a huge expense!
Another point is that this type of turtle is already quite old, so it's difficult for it to grow much larger later on.

This is so frustrating!
This is why this guy hasn't been able to sell it since the beginning of the year.

Even if the market drops and his price drops along with it, his price is still much higher than the market price.

Everyone buys this stuff to make money, not because they're stupid or greedy. They only buy it because they're rich and have too much money!

"That's right, the old man initially wanted to charge 2,500, but we said 2,300. Now I estimate he can only charge 1800!"

Xu Mu nodded and said, "Although these things are old enough, we still need to find three or four hundred males to pair with the more than one thousand females, which will cost us several hundred thousand more."

"Furthermore, if they can't mate back then, the eggs they lay are all useless. It won't be until next year that they start to break even, and that break-even period is long... The market in the turtle industry changes every six months. Who knows if the price of a seedling will drop to one or two hundred next year?"

"It will be even harder to break even then!"

Although a thousand breeding turtles can produce about eight thousand hatchlings a year, if you get one hatchling for every hundred turtles, you'll get eight hundred thousand.

It will take three consecutive years to break even!
In this situation, what's the point? Something that should have recouped its investment in about a year has had its cycle stretched to three years. Not to mention whether they can accept it, the investors can't accept it either!
Their current strategy for playing with turtles is to maximize profits, as this allows them to roll very quickly.

Furthermore, although they have such a large amount of funds now, if they really want to collect turtles, some of them are valuable, such as those native to China, like the Golden-headed Box Turtle and the Baise Box Turtle.

These are all high-end turtles, each costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, with breeding turtles costing as much as two or three hundred thousand yuan... If you really collect a couple of these to play with, let's not even talk about whether it's a bubble or not.

Even with ten million, you can't collect more than a few.

The four of them divided the use of these funds bit by bit, and they still planned to put 80% of the funds into the egg turtle.

Because mud turtles have the highest circulation rate and the largest number of players in the entire turtle market, and over the years, the mud turtle community has become relatively stable, with a large number of players joining every year, causing the community to continue to expand.

After washing their feet, the four of them went to a nearby restaurant for some barbecue before taking Wang Xiao back to the villa.

They then checked into a room to rest.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Xu Mu was awakened by Wang Qiang's knocking on the door.

"Get up!"

"Holy crap... what time is it?"

Xu Mu rubbed her hair, opened the door, and found Bao Yong and Wang Qiang already standing at the door, dressed.

Only Xu Mu was still dazed and confused.

Since Xu Mu obtained the system, he has become much more lazy, and he sleeps whenever he can... However, the system doesn't want him to rest properly, and only wants Xu Mu to move towards the goal of becoming the richest man!
"It's eight o'clock. We need to drive to Hushi, which will take an hour and a half. After we get there, we'll check the goods, have lunch, and then see if there are any other turtles we can buy from the farms near Hushi!"

“Mr. Wang has some connections in Hushi. After we get there, we can talk to some turtle farms and see if we can pack some turtles to take back with us!”

"Are you in such a hurry? Our outer pool isn't finished yet, is it?"

"It's all done..." Bao Yong explained, "I've had the workers dealkalize all those cement pools, so they're ready to use!"

"We are currently in the water conditioning stage, and we can introduce the turtles at any time!"

“Okay…” Xu Mu got dressed, washed up quickly, and drove to the underground parking garage.

I called Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao was also sleeping.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the four of them got into the car and headed straight for Hushi.

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Seeing Wang Xiao's sleepy eyes, he asked curiously.

"I didn't sleep. I slept until 3 PM. I was thinking of going out today, so I decided not to sleep anymore... I'll take a nap on the way!"

Wang Xiao said that, but she still kept making phone calls on the way.

I'd like to contact some old friends in Hushi to see if I can get some turtles from their factory.

"We can't fit all that goods in this truck!"

"Just call Lalamove!" Xu Mu said. "After arranging the goods in Hushi, just call a large van. Wang Qiang can go back to Taishi in the van, and Boss Bao and I will drive back!"

"Row!"

The three chatted along the way, and Wang Xiao fell asleep after making a few phone calls.

"Mr. Wang is really working a damn hard job! He works day and night, and to be honest, he doesn't even know what sunlight looks like in the villa. He spends all day either in the greenhouse or squatting in the underground garage smoking... I saw at least a hundred or two cigarette butts next to the chairs on the first and second floors!"

"That's just how turtle breeders are. The main problem is that Mr. Wang's partner can't help him share the burden," Xu Mu sighed. "I remember during the Spring Festival, Mr. Wang called me. He had been in his hometown for four days, and the turtles in the turtle house were dying every day. He couldn't take it anymore, and his partner told him to hurry back and try to save them... He couldn't even enjoy the Spring Festival!"

"If Mr. Wang comes here, he'll definitely have time to rest. We can just hire some people then!"
