In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
The Yongning County Government works very efficiently. In less than a week, Ma Debao successfully obtained the approval document.
Once the approval is given, the preparation work for the winery will be officially launched.
The first thing is to recruit workers. This time, a total of 5,000 acres were taken from the county, which is approximately 33.33 hectares. Generally speaking, one employee is required for each hectare of land.
Of course, this is a domestic practice. After all, domestic labor costs are relatively low. If it is abroad, one employee usually needs to manage 5-6 hectares of land, and a group of temporary workers will be recruited during the grape harvest season.
According to Li Jie's revised plan, approximately 20 regular employees will be recruited in the first phase. There are two reasons why they will not recruit them all at once. One is because winter will be here in a month or two.
Winter in Yongning is very cold, with the lowest temperature approaching minus 20 degrees Celsius. Coupled with the cold current blowing from Siberia, such extreme weather is not suitable for growing delicate grapes.
Even if grapes are planted in the future, in order to prevent the grapevines from being frozen and dried to death in winter, the entire grapevine must be buried in the soil. When the spring warms up the next year, the grapes buried deep in the ground will be buried. Vine unearthed.
Only in this way can the grapevines successfully survive the winter. This special overwintering method is a unique vineyard planting method in the Helan Mountain region of China.
Second, 33 hectares of land is too big. Generally speaking, the grape yield per hectare is about 10 tons. One ton of grapes can produce about 900 bottles of standard capacity red wine (750 ml).
If all 33 hectares of land were planted with grapes at once, nearly 300,000 bottles of red wine could be produced in a year.
Although the output of 300,000 bottles of red wine may not seem like a lot, it is worth emphasizing that the domestic red wine market is very small, and many people will buy foreign brands. After all, domestic red wine is not well-known.
Even the domestic sales of Changyu Wine, which was founded in 1892, are not satisfactory. Although Changyu went on the market this year, listing and sales are not the same thing.
Therefore, Li Jie does not plan to plant 33 hectares of land at once. His plan is to divide the 33 hectares of land into two phases, planting 2,500 acres in the first phase and 2,500 acres in the second phase.
And he doesn’t plan to pick the first three crops of grapes.
According to the planning document, Helan Winery will produce the first batch of red wine in small batches in the third year, and it is expected to be officially mass-produced in the fourth year.
Just when Ma Debao was officially recruiting workers, the news that the 'Ma Family' had acquired 5,000 acres of land officially spread.
As soon as this news came out, it was like a bombshell. In just one day, the news spread throughout the Yuquanying area like it had wings. Many people were stunned and in disbelief.
It was mid-afternoon, and after lunch, the villagers of Jintan Village came to the square to exercise and eat.
When these people get together, it is inevitable that they will talk about family feuds, and the most exciting news in Jintan Village today is Ma Debao's land acquisition.
"Dayou, have you heard? That boy from the Ma family took over five thousand acres of land in one go! Is this news true?"
Hearing this question, Li Dayou smiled and said proudly while picking his teeth with a toothpick.
"Of course it's true!"
Everyone knows that Li Dayou's son Shui Wang has been working with Ma Debao. Now that this news has been confirmed from Li Dayou's mouth, then this news is probably true and has not escaped.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was filled with surprises.
"Hey, darling, five thousand acres of land, how much food can be grown!"
"Ma San, what are you thinking about? People's treasures are not used to grow food."
“If you don’t grow food, what kind of thing is that?”
"People grow grapes!"
"Grapes? Are you kidding me? How many grapes can be produced from 5,000 acres of land? When the grapes are ripe, our land in Yuquanying can be divided into five kilograms per person and there is still a surplus. Who will he sell it to?"
"Yes, how could a kid as smart as Depot do such a thing?"
"That's right, that's right, even if that DuBo kid is stupid, his father can't let him do that. Isn't this a joke!"
Looking at the villagers who had different opinions, Li Dayou sneered and raised his head.
"You cowards, you know nothing but nonsense!"
“Rendebao grows grapes not for eating, but for making wine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers turned their attention to Li Dayou. At this time, the expressions on everyone's faces were as if they were carved from the same mold, full of disbelief.
"What?"
"Wine wine?"
"Isn't this noisy!"
"Wine is sour and astringent, just like horse urine. Who in the right mind would drink it?"
"That's right, that's right. Even if you give me that stuff, you won't drink it."
"Third brother is right. During last year's Chinese New Year, my nephew gave me a bottle. He took a sip and poured the wine away. Isn't that the kind of wine a human being drinks?"
"That's right, wine is not strong at all. Drinking it is more uncomfortable than drinking water. Who would buy it?"
At this moment, someone who didn't know who it was suddenly said something coldly.
"Well, look, I'm afraid Debao will have to pay for this business!"
In an instant, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, seemingly looking for someone to talk to, but in fact no one knew what the other person was thinking.
This person will inevitably be jealous.
In recent years, Ma Debao's career has been going smoothly. Although no one knows how much money he earns, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that he must have earned a lot.
Otherwise, can he afford a car worth hundreds of thousands?
Otherwise, can he take over 5,000 acres of land in one fell swoop?
Seeing that Ma Debao is getting richer and richer, the villagers will inevitably feel jealous and jealous even if they don't say it with their mouths. However, due to Li Jie's prestige, no one dares to say it to his face. At most, he will be locked up in private. Let’s talk at the door.
After being made such a fuss, the scene suddenly became silent. For a moment, no one knew how to answer this question.
Agree?
If the news reaches the ears of Ma Huanshui and makes the other party unhappy, wouldn't it mean that he is in trouble?
Find the person who poured cold water on you?
Looking up but not looking down, if you really do this, it seems a little bit unjust.
be opposed to?
It seems a little against my will.
Five thousand acres of land was too much, and it was difficult to grow grapes to make wine. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, this business was a loss-making business.
Li Dayou looked around and noticed something unusual in the atmosphere, then he laughed dryly and said.
"It's getting late. I have to go to the store and have a look. You can continue chatting. I'll leave now."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to react, he rubbed oil on his feet and left.
In fact, Li Dayou was not optimistic about the Ma family's investment this time, but his family Shuiwang drank soup after Debao. Their family could not survive without Debao.
Therefore, even though he was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he was too embarrassed to say anything sarcastic this time.
