Chapter 363 The Strawberry Planting Business

After bringing the Killer Whale and King Cuttlefish to the area where Old Zhou’s eldest son had gone missing, Su Jing returned on his Golden Eagle.

Just after returning home, he heard a message that his Big Brother Su Ruliang was back and he immediately ran to his uncle’s home. Unexpectedly, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and several other people in his family were already there. Su Ruliang is not only the Big Brother of Su Jing, but also the Big Brother of the younger generation in the village. As a child, Su Jing, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others always followed Su Ruliang to play around, of course, them playing around was stealing sausages, bacon, vegetables, fruits, and picnics, he also did those things a few times.

“A’Jing, you seem to have become taller again, you are even taller than me.” Su Ruliang smiled when he saw Su Jing.

“Hey, you’re one point seven meters, I’m one point eighty meters, of course, I’m taller than you. But why are you coming back now?” Su Jing asked.

“Big Brother has been fired.” Su Liang said.

“It should be said that he fired himself.” Su Xiaolin said as they were first to come here and they already knew what was going on.

“You guys.” Su Ruliang saw that this group of guys not only consoled him but instead made fun of him and couldn’t know whether to laugh or cry and told Su Jing what was going on. It turned out that the factory he was working has lost a lot of money in recent months, and his salary has been delayed by two months. He and a few colleagues went to the factory manager, which turned into a shouting match where the manager was shouting at them. Later, one of his colleagues got angry and punched the plant manager. Then they were fired, no matter whether the last two months’ wages had to be returned or not, they could no longer work in that factory.

Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others talked for a while before returning to the fishing ground, while Su Jing stayed. In the evening, Su Ruliang, Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu, Zhao Mengxiang, Su Yan, and Su Jing gathered around for dinner.

“Big Brother, what do you plan to do in the future?” Su Jing asked while eating.

“I am gonna take a break for half a month before going back to look for jobs,” Su Ruliang said.

“Why not just stay here and take care of the Seafood Store with us?” Zhao Mengxiang said.

“Yes, that way we won’t be busy when there are more guests.” Liu Shu also said.

“Yes, Dad, don’t go out to work, I won’t see you for a long time.” Su Yan’s mouth was full of vegetables, and her words were unclear.

“I … think about it.” Su Ruliang hesitated a bit. In fact, he worked outside and worked hard, earning five or six thousand a month. It used to be very good. It was the economic foundation of his family. But now, the seafood store at home is doing very well. The store earns tens of thousands of yuan a month. Even if the money is split evenly, his parents and wife get more than 10,000 yuan. This makes him happy and sad at the same time as he is no longer the backbone of the family.

After all, he was supposed to be the pillar of the family. And now, he even has to go work with his elderly parents and his wife. If he can, he hopes to make more money in other areas.

“Big Brother, have you ever thought about planting? A lot of farmers in the nearby village are just planting something casually. Those people didn’t expect to make money by farming, so as long as you pay a little money, it would be easy to take these farmlands for your own use.” Su Jing said.

“I thought about it, and I’m preparing to visit them,” Su Ruliang said.

“I have a new strawberry variety in my hand. It is not difficult to grow and it is more than twice the value of ordinary strawberries. Are you interested?” Su Jing smiled. In fact, at first, he thought of choosing Su Liang or Su Xiaolin to manage the strawberry farmland. However, since his Big Brother had lost his job and came back with ideas in this regard, it would be better to let the business go to Big Brother.

“More than twice?” Su Ruliang froze. Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu, and Zhao Mengxiang also looked at Su Jing with surprise. When did Su Jing launch a new strawberry product? Zhao Mengxiang suddenly thought of something, and asked, “A’Jing, that Red Fox Wine is actually Strawberry Wine. Is that the new strawberry variety you used?”

“Yes, the Red Fox Wine is delicious and it’s not because any advanced technology was used to make it but the taste comes from the strawberry themselves.” Su Jing nodded.

“It turned out to be this way.” Zhao Mengxiang, Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu suddenly realized.

“How many people grow this new strawberry variety now?” Su Ruliang asked.

“Only me and my partner, apart from that, there is no one else. The more important thing is that now we need this strawberry very much, we will collect as much as you plant it.” Su Jing laughed.

“Your partner, is he Wang Zhuo?” Su Ruliang’s eyes lit up.

“Yes.” Su Jing nodded.

“This business is very promising. You are so righteous. Big brother didn’t raise you in vain before.” Su Ruliang said with a laugh, even if he thought with his toes, he knew that this was a good job that Su Jing had specially given him.

“Big brother, if you’re really interested, let’s do it. No matter how much you plant, we will buy it at twice the market price. However, there are two things to bear in mind, big brother. First, manage the seedlings I give you, and I will give them to you the day before planting. It’s better to plant them on the same day to reduce the risk of them getting taken away by others. Second, all the strawberries planted must be sold to Wang Zhu and me. Even if other people offer three or even four or five times the price, you can’t sell it to them.” Su Jing said.

“No problem.” Seeing Su Jing look solemn, Su Ruliang nodded cautiously. Brothers belong to brothers and can take care of each other and he will not betray Su Jing.

“Since you want to do it, make it bigger. Use the nearby land as much as possible. If you don’t have enough people, please ask the nearby villagers to work. If they are willing to transfer the farmland and work, give them a higher salary. You can definitely make this into a big business. It’s just that the initial investment is a little higher. If you don’t have enough money, I will give you half a million first." Su Jing said.

“We saved some money in the last few years and we made a lot of money by opening a seafood restaurant. We will use that first and if that’s not enough, we will ask A’Jing.” Su Zhenhong said.

“That’s also good.” Su Jing nodded and smiled. “Big Brother, when you talk to nearby villagers about farmland requisition and hire workers, you can say that I am also investing it.”

“Oh, no, don’t underestimate the popularity of your Big Brother.” Su Ruliang smiled confidently, but he was very friendly with the nearby villagers. Besides, as Su Jing had already given him an opportunity, how could he still use his brother’s name?

“It’s up to you.” Su Jing smiled and didn’t say anything.

That night, Su Ruliang planned what to do, and early the next morning, he began to persuade the villagers to give up their farmland. As for hiring workers, this is not difficult. This is a rural area, you can only get two to three thousand in monthly wages and that would be counted as high. According to Su Jing, he gives 4,000 yuan to the people running the fish farm and so many people are rushing to join. So, as long as he has the farmlands, everything will be fine.
