In a small town, a group of locals surrounded Peng Yue and more than a dozen action team members.
"Peng Translator, what are they shouting?" He Ruoyu, the squad leader of the action team, held a gun and led everyone with their backs against the wall. He looked at the people around him warily while asking Peng Yue.
"They said, let us get out and give the land back to them." Peng Yue was now extremely scared. Looking at the villagers with sticks and malicious intentions, he was very afraid that he and the action team members would be overwhelmed by these people.
"Don't be afraid, Translator Peng," He Ruoyu was not afraid at all. He comforted Peng Yue, "Our boss specifically said when he came that safety is the first priority! As long as these people dare to take action, we will definitely shoot!
Once the gun fires, they won't have the courage to continue to fight against us! "
When he said this, Peng Yue looked at the automatic rifles in their hands, became bolder, and said loudly to the villagers:
"The land here was bought by our boss. Our boss said that as long as you are willing to work, he will hire you to work in the fields! The wages paid to you will definitely not be lower than before..."
"He's talking nonsense!" Someone instigated in the crowd: "The Japanese people said when they left, they don't want these lands anymore, they all belong to us! Whoever occupies the land belongs to them! Anyone who comes here and wants the land is the one who wants it. fraud!"
"Yes, liar!"
"Kill them!"
"We can't let them deceive us!"
Under the instigation of thoughtful people, the villagers holding farm tools got closer and closer. Peng Yue was really scared!
"Don't be instigated by malicious people, they must have received money!" Peng Yue looked at a few people in the crowd who were dodging and looking proud and malicious. He had an idea and immediately shouted:
"They don't want you to work and make money. They have ulterior motives! We have already gone through the procedures with the mayor. These Japanese people sold these lands to us at a high price! Those Japanese people want you to fight with us. , they are not good things..."
Peng Yue's words made many villagers hesitate.
In fact, they are also relatively kind in nature. Once the land is sold, it naturally belongs to someone else. As long as you are willing to work, you can still earn enough to eat.
However, now that there is the temptation of free land, who doesn’t want to take back the land that originally belonged to him?
"Don't listen to him!" Someone in the crowd didn't expect that Peng Yue saw their plan and immediately retorted loudly, "They just don't want you to get your land back, they just want to exploit you, everyone must work together, they dare not The one who shot..."
"Bang!" Before he could finish his words, He Ruoyu shot him in the arm!
"Ouch!"
That person, including this group of people, did not expect that He Ruoyu would suddenly shoot.
In their opinion, these people holding guns are just a show. With the encouragement of those few people, they also forgot about the danger of guns.
Now when the gun was suddenly fired, these people realized that it turned out that this gun could really hurt people!
"We have already told your mayor that we will farm these lands! We will also hire you locals! Don't let anyone take advantage of you! We are informing you now that if you continue to cause trouble, the military and police will be sent Come, you will all be arrested!”
He Ruoyu's gunshot startled Peng Yue, but it also gave him a sense of security. He immediately said loudly to the villagers:
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your mayor!"
Peng Yue looked around, and sure enough he saw the mayor watching the excitement at the far end of the street.
"Mayor, come here and prove it to us!" Peng Yue pointed his hand in that direction, and the villagers immediately looked towards the mayor.
The mayor originally wanted to watch the fun, but now that he had shown his face and collected the money, he walked over and said loudly:
"Attention, everyone! What Mr. Peng said is true. These places are really their bosses, and they also said that they will really hire us villagers to work..."
When the villagers heard this, they put down everything in their hands.
But He Ruoyu seized the time and immediately assigned tasks to the team members:
"Go and arrest those people who are causing trouble!"
The team members saw that the villagers were retreating, and the crisis had been resolved. Those people wanted to escape, so they immediately went out with guns and grabbed those people back.
"Why are you arresting me? Why are you arresting me?"
"That's right! He committed a murder! He killed someone!"
someone shouted.
The one who was shot was ignored. He Ruoyu called someone over, took out a first aid kit from his backpack and bandaged it.
"It's them, they are deliberately causing trouble!" Peng Yue immediately pointed at these people and shouted, "Think about it, did they incite you here? These people don't want you to live a good life!"
"That's him! Lument, he worked for the Japanese people before. After the Japanese people left, he was the one who said in the village that the Japanese people didn't want this land and gave it to us for free..."
"And this," a middle-aged uncle stepped forward and kicked a young man with curly hair: "Joyce, he said that when you come, he will drive us all away and take away our houses. Make us homeless…”
These villagers woke up and more and more people began to complain about how they were deceived.
"Okay, now everyone is clear. It is these bad people who are deceiving you and making you fight against us so that they can profit from it!
Our boss has made it clear that the planting season is coming soon, and we will give priority to recruiting people from your local villagers to work, and the treatment will definitely be better than before!
If you do a good job, you will be hired by us as a long-term worker with a fixed salary! We will come here tomorrow to recruit people, and if you want to do it, be ready to sign up..."
Peng Yue's words ignited the enthusiasm of the villagers, and they gathered around again and began to ask for details.
This time, they threw away the sticks in their hands and put all the farm tools behind their backs. Their faces were warm and smiling, but also a little humble.
This reminded Peng Yue of the time when he was a child, following his father and negotiating the price of grain with the merchants who collected grain.
He felt sad for a while.
"Don't crowd in, everyone, as long as you can work and don't be lazy, our boss said, everyone wants it!"
When Peng Yue said these words, he felt a little regretful. Although the land here is large, the planting is basically mechanized, and it really doesn’t require too many people.
If he brags like this, how can he explain it to his boss?
But those people didn't know Peng Yue's psychological reaction. When they heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then cheered!
This was not the case for Japanese people farming here in the past. They will specifically select those who are young, obedient, and have low salary requirements.
In desperation, everyone tried their best to lower each other's prices. Some people had no choice but to go to the city to work or wander.
Now the Chinese people say that as long as they work, they want everything. Doesn’t that mean everyone can work and make money?
Can these people not cheer?
Seeing this situation, He Ruoyu glanced at Peng Yue but said nothing.
"I don't want to either..." Peng Yue naturally knew that he was in trouble. He lowered his head and said, "When I look at these people, I think of my parents who work in the countryside..."
"Let's not talk so much for now." He Ruoyu looked at the police coming and said, "Let's hand the people over to the police first, and then we'll talk. At least the chaos has stopped now, and you have the greatest credit. As for how to recruit people, go back and talk to the boss Let’s discuss it, the boss is not unkind.”
Peng Yue glanced at He Ruoyu gratefully and assured:
"I will definitely not be so impulsive in the future!"
After Zhu Yu heard this, he thought for a while and said:
"Now that we've said it, let's hire people. Anyway, there will always be people who can do the job. But Peng Yue's matter is indeed not done well. The bonus originally planned to be given to him has been stopped. This matter needs to wait for Agriculture Only experts in this field can come and confirm.”
Yes, Zhu Yu planned to plant the land here, and it was not without preparation. After the procedures for transferring the farmland had been completed, he immediately contacted experts from the New Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences through Zhao Changjie.
The experts over there heard that there were more than one million acres of land that needed to be cultivated. They were very interested, and several immediately offered to come over.
Zhu Yu naturally wanted it, and the two parties hit it off immediately. Then the experts over there would bring some interns and students over, and Zhu Yu naturally welcomed them very much.
For those villagers, Zhu Yu did have a solution.
Now Peng Yue and his party went over and calmed down the villagers one by one. With official intervention, the ownership of the land was no longer in dispute.
In order to resolutely defend the sacred and inviolable rights of landowners, the violent organs in the town even arrested dozens of people - all of whom had worked under the Japanese, and later abandoned them after the Japanese left, but left them behind Got the task.
Of course, Zhu Yu also asked Peng Yue to donate a batch of materials and cash to various town officials and police stations on his behalf.
This made the subsequent recruitment work of Zhu Yu and the others extremely smooth.
"The land here is so good!" An old professor grabbed a handful of brown soil in the plowed field and looked at it again and again. Then he sprinkled the soil on the ground and said with emotion, "Not only is the soil quality good, It’s all plains here, truly fertile wilderness for thousands of miles!
Large-scale mechanization is completely possible for farming here. We can take the model from our new province and use it directly. By the way, there are quite a few rivers here and there is no shortage of water at all. This is simply a natural granary! "
"In terms of diseases, insect pests and seeds..." Zhu Yu's family also lives in a rural area, so he naturally knows what is more important. There is a serious overcapacity in domestic production of agricultural inputs and the like, so we can start working directly here. Only with input can we get output.
"Don't worry about this." Professor Liang from the New Province Institute of Agricultural Sciences said with a smile, "I will stay with you this season with my students. Don't worry, I don't need any money.
We have applied for funding from the institute, and this kind of experience is relatively rare. It is not easy for our new province to have a person like you who can acquire such a large piece of land overseas! Our new province must support us no matter what! "
Don Porter drove a tractor "running" on the endless wilderness. This is the life he is used to.
Some adults and children were picking up pest larvae in the plowed fields. The landowner said that each piece could be converted into money. For people who had nothing to do, this was at least an income.
Others were picking at the roots of perennial weeds. If these grasses are not picked out, they will take root again in the soil when the fields are planted, and then compete for the nutrients of the crops.
In some fields that have not yet been plowed, many locals are spreading chemical fertilizers and farmyard manure. These are locals who have been hired by Zhu Yu, and they work and get paid on a daily basis.
The salary given by Zhu Yu was indeed higher than that given by the Japanese people, which made the local people full of hope again.
Maybe that's good too. You can't keep the soil, but it's not bad to be able to earn a living based on your ability to work.
"It's time to eat!" In the distance, a van drove over and stopped at the edge of the field. The team members carried the meals from the car.
"Professor Liang, let's go, dinner is ready." Zhu Yu greeted with a smile.
Professor Liang is about fifty years old and has a very tan face. He obviously spends a lot of time in the fields.
He took five students with him, three boys and two girls, three of whom were from New Province and two from other places.
When we arrived at the dining area, the meal delivery team member had already set up the folding table, with rice, a large plate of chicken, wide noodles, five dishes, and a pot of soup.
There are also some meat burritos for the locals on the side.
The locals who were working were stunned for a moment before they realized that they would be provided with a lunch.
Some people really don’t believe it!
The locals who came over hesitantly and took the meat burrito suddenly cheered.
"It seems that everyone is quite satisfied with you as a landowner." Professor Liang said with a smile, "Of course, I am also very satisfied. You can eat a large plate of chicken here, and it smells so authentic. You are really thoughtful."
"It's nothing." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "If I ask these team members to come over, they must bring the cooking class over.
This is my third overseas base. From the first base, I discovered that at least half of our team members were not used to eating local food alone.
Anyway, some of the team members can cook. When recruiting people, it would be good to recruit some in a targeted manner. I also like to eat hometown food, so I guess everyone is the same.
After all, it’s not just a day or two outside. Staying for a few months, even though I can't go back often, at least I can eat hometown food often, which is better than nothing. "
He said hello:
"Eat it. The ingredients are all local, pure local chicken. The cooking method is from my hometown, so it's no problem. If you want to try some of their specialties, it's no problem. It's spicy - the locals really like spicy food."
A sweet-looking female intern looked at Zhu Yu with admiration:
"Mr. Zhu, you are really a conscientious 'capitalist'!"
"No, I can't stand it when you use this title." Zhu Yu waved his hands hurriedly, "Although I am, I always feel that this word is derogatory."
When Zhu Yu said this, the girl blushed:
"That was not what I meant……"
"I understand, I understand." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "We always pay attention to win-win in China. I think this can be used in many aspects.
For example, these local villagers sold their land for some reasons a few years ago and had to work to make a living.
Now that they understand farming technology, and I am short of talents for farming, the two parties can cooperate. I need them to work hard, and then I can provide them with relatively better conditions. They make money and I make money, it's called a win-win. "
“Well said!” Professor Liang applauded, “If there are more people like you overseas, both the image of our country and the image of investors will be greatly improved.
When making money, doing something conscientious is always easier to win people's hearts than those black-hearted capitalists. "
Several other students also nodded.
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
The local villagers who were eating in the distance probably had the same idea.
After all, Brazil has more than 5 billion acres of arable land and a population of more than 200 million, but there are more than 30 million hungry people, some of whom can only eat one meal a day!
Now the working owner can provide a meal of meat pie for free. How can this not make them excited?
Zhu Yu guessed that as long as he continued to do this every day, he would probably wait a month and if someone wanted to come over and snatch his land, these locals would have to fight them hard, right?
"By the way, Mr. Zhu, what crops do you plan to plant?" Professor Liang asked while eating.
"Food. The main thing is food." Zhu Yu had already planned for this.
"Why not grow cash crops that are easier to make money?" The sweet-looking little girl raised her head and asked.
"Because Da Mao and Er Mao are now at war. The world's granary is obviously no longer able to sell food. The international food shortage is certain.
I don’t know whether growing cash crops will make money, but growing food will definitely make money. Zhu Yu said while eating:
"Besides, it's my first time to plant so much land, so it's better to be safe. Although cash crops are profitable, they are too easy to attract diseases and insect pests, and it is too troublesome to take care of them."
"Mr. Zhu sees the long term." The little girl praised again.
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing. If it were an ordinary person, he would be lost in the admiring gaze of a beautiful girl for a few seconds.
He is already immune.
Professor Liang wiped his mouth and said:
“What happens after you grow food?”
"Sell it." Zhu Yu was very frank. "Some of it will be shipped back to China, and some of it will be sold. After all, this is not Canada, and basically nothing like that will happen."
"What's the matter?" the little girl asked curiously.
Zhu Yu glanced at Professor Liang, who smiled but said nothing.
He must know, but he just won't tell.
Seeing the other students looking for knowledge, Zhu Yu had no choice but to say:
"Canada is also vast and sparsely populated. In the northern part of North America, there is a large area of arable land. At that time, some people in our country bought land to grow food, and they had the same idea as I do now.
As a result, Canada directly imposed a ban on the export of grain, regardless of whether you are of local origin or of foreign origin.
Then, the road was blocked.
You must know that the tradable grain circulating in the world is only 200 million tons a year, and our country produces 600 million tons of it. Even the grain circulating in the world is not enough for our own households. So it’s still more productive, no problem. "
When Zhu Yu said this, these people all understood.
It turns out that things are not that simple!
After dinner, the professor continued to take the students for inspection, but Zhu Yu was called back by a phone call from Qin Fei, who was guarding the courtyard.
It turns out that Duterte called and the land auction was about to begin!
