On October 4th, early in the morning, Cao Zhuang took Zou Hong to Jinling on a small business jet operated by Deer Airlines at Haizhou Airport. He was accompanied by his assistant.
Generally, when a boss travels, he will bring one or two assistants with him to handle various chores in life or work matters. There are fewer people traveling alone.
"Brother Cao, how big is your farm?" Zou Hong is thirty-two years old this year. Facing Cao Zhuang, who is in his early fifties, he originally wanted to call him uncle, but Cao Zhuang quickly stopped him and asked him to change his name. How is this possible?
He was at the age where "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", and he was chatting with Cao Zhuang on the plane.
Cao Zhuang only had the opportunity to chat with Zou Hong about his ecological farm idea on the way to the airport today. At this time, he had already realized that Mr. Jing had conveyed a wrong message to him. He thought that Zou Hong was planning to develop a leisure manor or farm model, but it turned out that it sounded like he was planning to develop a vegetable greenhouse cultivation model.
However, it was all about getting on a plane. It was a mistake. There was no way he would call Mr. Jing who was in wedding leave mode to inquire.
In the slightly compact business jet, Cao Zhuang poured champagne for Zou Hong and sat opposite each other at the long table, "Xiao Zou, what I am doing in Jinling is a manor club, which is different from the project you are going to do. But I have a friend who runs an ecological farm, and I feel like I might be able to provide you with new ideas.”
Zou Hong said in surprise: "Brother Cao, this..."
A smile appeared on Cao Zhuang's still handsome face, he comforted the stunned Zou Hong, and said sincerely: "Xiao Zou, you want to grow vegetables in greenhouses. This is a very good idea, and it is also in line with Haizhou's situation.
However, you can also consider other directions. The domestic middle class is now rising, and the development of tourism is a big trend. Under this general trend, you can consider setting up an ecological farm to enter this industry. Maybe there's a lot to be done. According to the data I collected, Haizhou is also very rich in tourism resources, right? "
Zou Hong said truthfully: "I don't know much about this."
Cao Zhuang took a sip of champagne and threw out the data he collected not long ago, "There are a total of 42 national-level tourist attractions in Haizhou. Among them, there are 11 4a-level and 5a-level scenic spots in total. There are 20 3a-level scenic spots.
These scenic spots received 38.05 million tourists throughout the year and generated tourism revenue of 53.1 billion yuan. Growing year after year. Tourism has great potential for Haizhou. "
Zou Hong was a little shaken by Cao Zhuang's words, "Then..."
Cao Zhuang said: "Let's go to Jinling to take a rest first. I'll arrange a car to go to my friend's resort for inspection. We'll have dinner at his place tonight."
"OK."
…
…
Caozhuang's friend's holiday farm is located in Zhenjiang, next door to Jinling, and it only takes about two hours to drive there.
This ecological farm is located in a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are lakes and mountains and forests in the farm. The boss is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a pair of glasses and a gentle manner. He speaks Mandarin with a slight accent to entertain Cao Zhuang and Zou Hong.
"Mr. Cao, welcome."
"Boss Li, this is a friend of mine, Zou Hong, who plans to build an eco-tourism farm in Haizhou. I came here specially to take him to learn from you." Cao Zhuang shook hands with Boss Li with a smile and a very relaxed attitude. He is a regular customer of Boss Li's place. "Let's arrange a visit first, and then we'll have dinner. It's a good time to chat while we eat. Are my favorite mountain mushrooms ready?"
"Of course. This way, please!" Boss Li smiled and let the two of them into the villa.
Zou Hong found that this villa was really original. After entering the villa's gate building, the parking spaces are all open spaces. Whenever it rains, they will definitely be muddy. The three of them were talking right here in the parking lot.
It takes a while to walk to the main buildings of the villa: restaurant and accommodation. There are also various cultivated farm vegetable plots, ponds, etc. Boss Li first took Cao Zhuang and the driver to the restaurant to rest, and then took Zou Hong along a cobblestone path around the farm, introducing the projects here while walking.
"Boss Zou, there are great prospects for opening a farm now. The emerging urban middle class needs a place to relax during holidays and eat green, pollution-free, non-GMO food and vegetables, not to mention their love for farm eggs and domestic pigs.
But this industry is also in a state of involution. It must be distinctive to remain profitable. The characteristics of my place are 1. fishing in the pond, 2. experiencing farm work, and 3. game ingredients. My place is next to the mountain behind, and some hunters will bring their prey here. Many middle-class people like this. "
Boss Li was very talkative. He didn't ask Zou Hong anything at all and just told him some key tips.
This made Zou Hong feel a little embarrassed. After wandering around for half an hour, the two of them walked back to the restaurant along a rapeseed field. At this time, a pretty girl was serving food. Boss Li just called to inform me.
Cao Zhuang is sitting leisurely in the pearwood red lacquer chair in the living room drinking tea. He is a gentle and handsome middle-aged old man. It is impossible to tell that he is a business tycoon. He is ranked among the top twenty private enterprises in Jinling City. Home.
Just because Cao Zhuang serves as Jing Gao's younger brother does not mean that his Tianhua Group is not strong enough. On the contrary, his billions of net worth and tens of billions of Tianhua Group are successes that are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Otherwise, how could he have the capital to be on an equal footing with Tan Yunqiu, Shen Huang, Jiang Pu, Su Kun, Song Heng and others?
"I am too old to be able to match the legs and feet of you young people, so I can only sit here and wait for you. Xiao Gao, you are getting more and more beautiful. What year are you in college now?"
The beautiful girl named "Xiao Gao" smiled and said: "Mr. Cao, I graduated from college this year and work in the city's electricity bureau."
Cao Zhuang smiled with emotion and said: "Look at my memory, I am really old." He introduced to Zou Hong: "This is Boss Li's sister, Gao Ruojia. I am here during the National Day holiday and can help Boss Li by the way."
Zou Hong quickly withdrew his "appreciative" gaze, thinking he was a waiter. He smiled and nodded to this lively and beautiful girl, sat down, and started eating and drinking.
Including Gao Ruojia, four people ate in total. Boss Li prepared six dishes: tomatoes and eggs, pheasant stewed with chestnuts, pumpkin casserole, turtle soup, vegetable pot, and snake soup.
The vegetables are farm vegetables grown on the farm. Because transportation issues are not considered, Chinese cabbage and tomatoes are varieties that are not sold on the market. They are varieties cultivated by local agricultural colleges. Market locally.
The wine is medicinal wine made by Boss Li himself.
"Boss Li, your food tastes so good!" Zou Hong didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the vegetables were much more delicious than at home. Various game meats are paired with medicinal wine, and the food warms the whole body, as if it is repairing.
Boss Li was very pleased with this compliment and said humbly: "I grew it myself. Boss Zou, if you like it, I will sell some to you later."
Zou Hong was still a little dazed. How much are vegetables worth? Are they not given as gifts?
Cao Zhuang smiled and interjected: "I agreed cleanly. If I want it, Boss Li will sell it to me for just a few kilograms."
Zou Hong quickly said: "Thank you, Boss Li."
While chatting about the ecological farm, the night darkened, and Boss Li took Zou Hong to the guest room to rest. Then come out to find Cao Zhuang. Sure enough, Cao Zhuang did not go to the rest room, but waited for him in the hall.
Cao Zhuang put down his tea cup with a smile and thanked him: "Boss Li, thank you for preaching and clearing up my doubts today." Boss Li is an honest person, and he did not hide anything when discussing his experience in running an ecological farm at the wine table. .
"Mr. Cao, who is this friend of yours?" Boss Li waved his hand indifferently. He was more concerned about other issues. He has been working on a farm for four or five years, and his eyesight has long been developed. With Mr. Cao's wealth and status, he shouldn't be holding such a "friend" in high esteem!
