Chapter 729: 719.Apple tree_3 Chapter 729: 719.Apple tree_3 Yan Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “Then you might as well think about it some more and enjoy the beauty of that thought a bit longer.”
Then she continued speaking to Song Tan,
“The exchange meeting in Imperial City during the winter and spring that we discussed before is very authoritative within the industry.”
She paused and then added, “On a global scale.”
Zhang Yanping was over the moon!
However, Xin Jun seemed contemplative, “If that’s the case, Tan Tan, can you ask your aunt to find out if there are any homestead plots in our village that I could exchange for mine?”
Zhang Yanping gasped in shock!
You’re kidding! You’ve been calculating all summer and now you’re even faster than me at spotting opportunities to make money? Have you already found a way to strike it rich?
As for Song Tan, standing there digesting this sudden news, she exclaimed in surprise after a while,
“I really haven’t paid much attention to this line of work…”
“Why didn’t you say something earlier? Just the other day, Old Xu from the mountain asked me if we needed more factory buildings or dormitories on that flat stretch of land at the top where a small wellhead had been opened. I was thinking we wouldn’t need them any time soon, so I turned all the suggestions down!”
But now, what are we waiting for?!
Without another word, she took out her phone, “Manager Xu? Have you eaten yet? Could you come over for a moment? We need to discuss something.”
But Professor Song just chuckled, “Don’t let Xiaoyan scare you. The name might sound incredibly important, but in reality, the work is still about dealing with the fields.”
“Our main purpose in staying here is to use the unique advantage your family has to spread our name globally.”
“If we can develop more advantageous seeds in the future, we will have more initiative in the international market and in return, obtain more seeds.”
“As for how this family farm develops and what to focus on, the decision is still yours.”
“Even if you want to expand further next year and take over more uncultivated fields and hills, it won’t affect our cooperation at all.”
A Seed Laboratory doesn’t have to be a heavily guarded building in the middle of their fields. What he needed to do was to preserve more stable traditions.
As he said this, he looked at Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun, “You two young men are certainly quick-witted, but for youngsters, the educational and medical advantages of the city are still greater. Don’t force the issue if exchanging homestead land isn’t feasible.”
“Just like Tan Tan said, with so many factory buildings and dormitories in her home and up the mountain, would there be a lack of rooms for you?”
Initially, Zhang Yanping wanted to argue that it wasn’t the same, thinking that one would certainly feel more at ease in their own home.
Yet upon reflection–yes, being at home was comfortable, but to walk over from home to scrounge for meals here, that would require an even thicker skin!
He and Xin Jun exchanged glances and quickly settled down.
Meanwhile, the person in charge, Old Xu, had hastily come down from the mountain, pondering over snagging some breakfast, when he heard Song Tan mention his previous suggestion.
Old Xu perked up, “Are you serious?! There’s over 2000 square meters of space at the other mountain top!”
Moreover, there was a wellhead at the mountaintop providing a steady flow of water, making the setup of living facilities much simpler.
If they could proceed with that, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the latter half of the year.
But Old Xu was a conscientious man and feared that building a series of houses might drain Song Tan’s finances, affecting his final payment.
At this moment, he sincerely suggested,
“I think we shouldn’t touch the mountain top just yet. Let’s build up this side as initially planned, and then renovate the old man’s ancestral home.”
“Once those two tasks are finished, I guess you’ll be able to start selling some products again.
“If the funds are sufficient by then, we can make the residences on the other mountain top even nicer.”
At the very least, from what Song Tan implied, there would eventually be some people who would need to live in a bit of style–they certainly couldn’t share a dorm like those in the factory area, could they?
Taking our time to build would be perfectly fine.
Song Tan calculated her finances and finally let out a slow breath.
Heaven knows she was serious when she mentioned taking out a bank loan to Professor Song!
But everyone knew that with the current price of her farm, she could never borrow tens of millions!
It was indeed a worry!
This morning had been nothing short of a thriller! It felt like her future career was heading towards a higher level of prestige.
–This wasn’t simply living in the countryside; it was the seclusion and dedication expected of a key project!
“Oh right,” it was only then that Song Tan remembered something else, “Professor Song, is there anything else that needs to be arranged? Secretary Xiaozu said that the city has already approved road construction. At the latest, work here can definitely start in half a month.”
“At that time, vehicles will have to detour through Shangtang Village next door. I’m afraid it will be a bit more troublesome than now.” Road construction?
Professor Song exclaimed in delight, “Your city’s administration is very efficient!”
He was extremely satisfied, “Wait a minute, after we eat, let’s go prepare a list of materials. Whatever happens, let’s get the supplies ready first.”
They were about to undertake a big project!
