Super Orchard

Chapter 42 Scaling Up
Time passed day by day, and before I knew it, it was the end of April and the beginning of May. At this time, some cities in the south had already entered summer, and Jinquan Village had just entered spring. It was warmer in the daytime with more than ten degrees, but at night it was only three to five degrees. .

The strawberries in the greenhouse are also coming to an end. There are no new flower buds, and only some blue fruits are gradually turning red.

In the past few months, the total output of 6 mu of strawberries has reached an astonishing [-] jin. Although ordinary strawberries can reach such a high level of [-] mu, the planting density of strawberries in Jinquan Orchard is very sparse because of the wild grapes. This output is already quite astonishing.

So many strawberries also brought Shen Yangguang a total of 700 million yuan in income, plus the remaining few 10 yuan before, and a series of expenses such as staff salaries in the past few months, Shen Yangguang's account Now a total of 720 million yuan!
Of course, Shen Yangguang will not let so much money lie in the bank account and sleep. He is going to invest again to expand the size of the orchard, and now is the spring season, which is very suitable for construction and planting of fruit trees.

Now there are apples, strawberries and wild grapes in the orchard. These are common temperate fruits. Shen Guangguang wants to grow some tropical fruits in order to attract more sightseeing and picking tourists.

You must know that although locals can buy some tropical fruits in the market, [-]% of them have never seen tropical fruit trees, let alone picked them by themselves.

As for what kind of fruit trees to plant in the end, Shen Guangguang has not yet fully decided, because he is not yet clear about the habits of various fruit trees, and he is not sure whether tropical fruit trees can bloom and bear fruit in this corner of the northeast, but one thing is certain is that with this With the latest greenhouses and hot springs, coupled with its own golden airflow, it will definitely be no problem for the fruit trees to survive.

After much deliberation, Shen Yangguang decided to build the greenhouse first, inspect various tropical fruits while building, and plant them directly after the greenhouse is built without delay.

After talking on the phone with Wei Long, the boss of the greenhouse manufacturing factory, Shen Yangguang didn't need to make another trip this time. Wei Long immediately came to Jinquan Village with all the materials. Facing another big business, Wei Long had to be tight take this opportunity.

Shen Yangguang was not sure about the height of the fruit trees to be planted in the future, so he asked, "The greenhouse this time is still the same size as last time, but I want to build it higher. Is there any problem with your company?"

"Previously, the height of the middle of this greenhouse reached eight meters, which was already the highest on the market. If it was a little higher, there would be no problem. However, the various support materials still need to be customized, but if it exceeds ten meters, we really don't want it. I dare to guarantee the stability of the greenhouse, after all, there has never been such a high project in the market.”

Shen Yangguang thought about it carefully. Anyway, there are still many tropical fruits that are about the same height as wild grapes. It is no problem to use the current height, and there is no need to spend time re-customizing the materials, so he decided to build another greenhouse that is exactly the same.

Seeing Shen Yangguang being so forthright, Wei Long was overjoyed: "The market price of the same greenhouse is 650 million yuan. I gave you a discount of 15 yuan last time. With previous construction experience this time, the progress should be faster. I'll give you another 5 yuan discount, what do you think, Boss Shen?"

In the end, Shen Yangguang paid an upfront fee of 330 million yuan, and paid off the remaining 300 million yuan after one year.

After signing the contract, Weilong immediately rushed back to the factory to prepare for the processing of various materials. Shen Yangguang was not idle either, and spent 20 yuan to buy a large tractor, equipped with a rotary tiller and other equipment.

The work efficiency of this large tractor is much faster than that of the previous walking tractors. Shen Yangguang arranged for the employees of the engineering department to drive two tractors, one large and one small, to cultivate the land at the same time. A fifteen-acre piece of land was plowed out.

Fortunately, when the road was built last time, a section was reserved, which just reached the middle of the second greenhouse. This is where the gate is, and it can be used for vehicles. In this way, there is no need to expand the road for the time being.

As soon as the land was plowed, Weilong's fleet of assembled greenhouses drove into the orchard, unloaded piles of materials and began to get busy.

At present, the rice seedling cultivation in Jinquan Village has been completed a long time ago. After a while, it will be time for transplanting and planting, which is also the busy farming season. Therefore, Shen Yangguang will plant fruit trees within these days.

After much deliberation, she didn't know what to plant, so Shen Yangguang called Xia Yunxuan and wanted to ask her uncle Zhao Chunqiu's opinion. Xia Yunxuan didn't know the specific fruit tree, so she sent her uncle's number to Shen Yangguang .

After getting through the phone call, Shen Yangguang introduced himself: "Hello, Uncle Zhao, I'm Xia Yunxuan's classmate Shen Yangguang. Last time I brought the leaders of the provincial bureau and provincial station to help. Thank you very much!"

"You are Xiao Shen that Xuanxuan often mentions, you are welcome to raise your hand."

"Uncle Zhao, my orchard is going to expand the planting. I would like to ask what tropical fruits can be planted?"

"There's a lot of fruit...what? Tropical fruit? You still have an orchard in the south?"

"No, I just planted them in the strawberry garden last time."

Zhao Chunqiu frowned and said, "Our hometown is already limited to growing some temperate fruits. How can we grow tropical fruits? Light, temperature, water, none of them can satisfy the growth of tropical fruits."

"Don't worry about this. If I turn on all the warm lights in my place, the temperature can be guaranteed to be above [-] degrees even in the coldest time, and the ground temperature is also higher than other nearby places. The fruit trees will not freeze to death at all."

"I went up to the strawberry greenhouse, and I really felt that the temperature inside was higher than other greenhouses, but even if the fruit trees can't be frozen to death, the fruit trees will stop growing if the temperature is not enough, let alone bloom and bear fruit. You have to think carefully. "

Shen Yangguang said to himself: "Thank you uncle for your concern. These are all fine. I just want to ask if there are any tropical fruits that are convenient to grow. By the way, my new greenhouse is as big as the one in the Strawberry Garden."

Zhao Chunqiu thought about it carefully, and said: "If I remember correctly, the lowest point of your greenhouse is about two meters high, and the average tropical fruit is more than ten meters high, but I have a newly cultivated mango here. I don't know if you like it. interest?"

"I'm interested, I wonder how tall this mango tree is?"

"The average mango tree is several meters high, and the tallest one is more than ten or twenty meters high. The dwarf variety newly cultivated in our institute is only one or two meters high."

Shen Yangguang said happily: "That's great, it's just suitable for me to plant here. I don't know if Uncle Zhao has fruit tree seedlings. I want to buy some."

Zhao Chunqiu was not as happy as Shen Yangguang, and said calmly: "This fruit tree is good, but it also has some shortcomings. The first is that the fruit trees are short, and the yield of each tree is less than ordinary varieties. Newly bred, the price is more expensive."

Shen Yangguang has a golden air current, which can greatly increase the yield of fruit trees, so don't worry about this, and asked: "What about the price?"

"There are now a thousand saplings in our experimental field, which have been planted for two years. They should bear fruit next year, but because of the production and price, none of them were sold, alas."

Just as Shen Yangguang was a little embarrassed, he was a little worried about whether there was something wrong with the fruit tree, or why it hadn't been sold for two years.

Before Shen Yangguang asked, Zhao Chunqiu continued: "The quality of the fruit trees is absolutely fine. The problem is that although such expensive fruit trees are a bit short, they are tasteless because the output cannot keep up. Focus more on the yield of fruit trees than their height."

Since the quality of the fruit trees was fine, Shen Yangguang felt relieved and asked the most concerned question: "How much is a fruit tree?"

Zhao Chunqiu slapped his head and said: "The price of ordinary mango trees varies greatly depending on the type and size of the plant. Some cost two yuan a piece, and some cost 200 yuan. The batch of mango trees in our institute are also relatively expensive. Yes, because we are mainly a national scientific research institution, not for the purpose of profit but to promote good varieties, but to charge a cost fee, the average one is about 150 yuan."

After these hours of understanding, Shen Yangguang knew that Zhao Chunqiu was not a profit-seeking person, so he said directly: "Okay Uncle Zhao, I want six hundred trees."

Zhao Chunqiu was a little overjoyed. The funds in their research institute were limited, and they could get nearly 10 yuan in income by selling these fruit trees. More importantly, they vacated the experimental field where the mango trees had been occupied for two years, but they were still a little worried about Shen Yangguang's planting. The mango tree couldn’t survive, and he kept reminding: “If the mango tree can’t bear fruit, it’s not just the money for the seedlings that will be lost, but also the labor invested in various aspects of the greenhouse. You have to think carefully about it.”
