America's Mountains Are King

Chapter 7
"Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, everything is complete here. I just arranged it for the past two days. Take a look, there is nothing missing!" Qi Ping showed his new home to his parents with his laptop. In the house, although my parents have just learned the most basic computer operations, it is enough for video chat.

"This house is nice, I like it quite a bit, you should be careful outside, it's not easy to go out alone. It's so far away in the United States, so be careful about everything." Although I am very happy that my youngest son is now promising, but he has traveled thousands of miles The mother is worried, even if she knows that the youngest son is a rich man now, being rich does not mean that he can let go completely.

"You and dad hurriedly get the visa done. I don't think the boss is reliable. I told him to come over directly when the time comes, but he is always pushing the time. If you don't have time for a while and have to work, you don't plan to come and see me, brother. It's home now." Qi Ping was a little dissatisfied with his brother, but in fact his brother didn't care, the key was for his parents to come and see him to be at ease.

"You think your brother is like you. It's a good thing that you gave him a sum of money to pay off the mortgage, but you still have to work. You can't let Xiao Benben lose a little property." Yu Lan laughed, It's a good thing that her youngest son is doing well, and what makes her even happier is that her two sons have a good relationship and have been helping each other; just like this time, the youngest son has become rich, and he can immediately think about helping his brother reduce his burden.

"Don't rush your boss, he has already started to ask for annual leave. He is working for others, not as free as you are when you are your own boss. You will be under the control of someone else's job. We will go with him when the time comes. None of us I’ve been on a plane, so don’t worry about going with your boss.” Qi Weihui, who had been sitting on the side with a smile on his face, said with a smile, although he really wanted to visit his younger son immediately, but he didn’t want to cause too much trouble to his elder son; Just wait until the elder son's time is convenient.

After chatting with my parents for a while, Qi Ping also needs to start getting busy; although he has been busy buying a car and furnishing a new house these two days, the work of the forest farm has not been left behind.After all, the money in my pocket is relatively limited now, so I can’t just be satisfied with a forest farm. Anyway, I definitely can’t just sit and eat.

Some recruitment information has been released on the Internet, and the production and construction plan of the forest farm has also begun.

There are actually jade stones here in the United States, but Lao Mei doesn’t particularly like this kind of gemstones; although Qi Ping still has three top-level jade stones in his hand, they are the eyes of the formation formation, and of course high-quality jade stones are needed .As for the other parts, some relatively ordinary jade stones are fine. This is why Qi Ping chose to auction a few pieces of relatively small jade stones at the beginning, and also because of lack of money. Bar.

So now we need to recruit workers and also need to purchase a batch of relatively average quality jade, these are Qiping's current work.

"Chinese style, you may not know this. But I hope that the logo you designed can satisfy me. Look at the image here; white hair and beard, full of ancient style, this is the most typical image of Chinese immortals. I believe you You can do it.” Qi Ping now needs to build the gate of the forest farm, of course he chose a classic fairy guiding the way; Just be happy.

Just like the signboard of the forest farm is not only the image of the old fairy, but the hyphen is "Fairyland Ranch", which also considers Lao Mei's feelings. A few small words also prove that Lao Mei's translation is still good.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. There is an eye-catching logo, which is of course more pleasing to the eye.

Now Qiping wants to start some farm business first, because the forestry business really needs a relatively long cycle, and also because his own capital is limited now.So there is no way, what is most needed now is to make a little money, and it needs to expand slowly.Although 100 million US dollars is not much, it is not too small.

The original forest farm owner regarded this place as a leisure forest farm, so a lot of work here needs to be re-started; for example, some machinery and equipment need to be purchased by themselves.

The popularity of agricultural mechanization in the United States is high, so Qiping is a little frowning now; the total value of agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters, four-wheel drive tractors, wind drills, agricultural track trailers, grass balers, and seeders is about 20 US dollars. , which is a relatively small number.Although a lot of equipment can be bought second-hand, the quality may not be very good.

In fact, the U.S. government implements quite favorable policies for farmers.The government does not provide loans for buying land, but it does provide loans for buying farming machinery, etc. The interest is actually relatively low.If you are willing to grow corn and soybeans, the government encourages you to buy insurance first. If you fail to harvest due to natural disasters, you can get compensation.There is no tax on any supplies purchased on the farm. If the farm needs to lay underground water pipes, it can apply to the government. The farmer will pay up to half of the money, and the government will also be responsible for free installation.

Farm work isn't tiring, it's just too much work, endless.The heavy and tiring work on American farms is done by machines; buying tools, building greenhouses, etc.; if the farm has a lot of land, it mainly relies on open-air planting, and the main farm work for growing vegetables is planting seedlings, weeding, and harvesting vegetables.

In fact, Qi Ping now needs some skilled hands. Although he grew up in the countryside and knows some farm work, he really doesn't understand it very well, let alone the management of modern large-scale farms.And recruiting people is not an easy matter. Although the farm includes food and lodging and a lot of salary, young people dislike working in the sun and have little interest, so they are usually older middle-aged and elderly people.

Qi Ping is very clear that if he does not know English, has no technology, and no license, no matter how well the vegetables are grown, he will not dare and cannot sell them on the market.

Although the recruitment notice has indeed been sent out, and some consultation information has been received; Qi Ping is not satisfied, and now it seems that his forest farm still needs more fame.It's not just the boss who picks the employees, but also the boss when there are a lot of employees.

Things in the forest farm are still poor and empty. If you come here now, you must do a lot of things, and many employees are actually unwilling to come here.The most ridiculous reason is that some proud Americans don't want to work on Chinese farms, what kind of shitty reasons are these!
"Yes, I am from China. The farm has not yet started, and there must be a lot of things to come here at this time. What I need is experienced hands, preferably with work experience in American farms. The equipment must be complete, as well Food and lodging are included; I will never cheat on your salary, the weekly salary is US$[-], which is not a small amount in the United States; of course, if you can manage the farm affairs, the salary of the supervisor must be higher , and there are some benefits such as year-end bonuses." Qi Ping patiently explained some of his recruitment requirements, there are many Chinese in the United States, and there are more Chinese workers who are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, which is also a good thing.

"Four people, I don't think it's too many. The farm now has more than 100 acres. I don't care whether it is slack or not. As long as you do a good job here, I will hire you all year round." Qi Ping threw out Big killer, because many American farms do not need helpers during the slack season; but this problem naturally does not exist on his farm, which is naturally a huge attraction for farm workers, a stable The work is really great.

"Well, come to Ramona tomorrow to have a look. Yes, I will pick you up. If the conditions are right, we will sign a contract or something. I have just arrived and I am not familiar with the place here. It is still my own People feel more at ease." Qi Ping is in a good mood, the person on the phone is a Chinese who came to the United States a few years ago and has been working on the farm; he has experience and some knowledge, which is very good.

Qi Ping has started to recruit troops, and Qi Ping now feels that this is something worth looking forward to; although the recruitment process seems to be a bit twists and turns, as long as he finds the right person, Qi Ping will of course feel very satisfied.

"Xiao Qi, the environment of your farm is really good. But it has never grown vegetables here. It would be a lot of work to do it from scratch, and there will be no effect in a short time. Moreover, the equipment here is not complete, and there are many Everything has to be bought from scratch." Huang Siqing, a middle-aged man in his fifties, came here, and his age can be proved from his name, which is about the same age as Qi Ping's father.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, as long as the farm needs it, I will definitely not be stingy, and I will definitely not let you dig the ground with hoes. You write me a list, and I will make up for the equipment." Looking at this dark-skinned and honest man As a middle-aged man, Qi Ping still feels pretty good.

"Well, when the time comes, my cousin and I will bring people over, and we can come at any time. The farmer we were working on before is not a joke, we are all undocumented people, so he has been exploiting Us. The conditions on your side are really nothing to say, I think you are a good person, and you can come here at any time." Huang Siqing is happy, this job may be really good, as long as this young man can continue to operate The farm, then it must be better than the farm that is working now.

"Come tomorrow, and I'll count your wages for these two days. We'll go buy equipment together, and you'll also resettle your home." Qi Ping laughed loudly, it's done!
As for the extra two days' salary, it's really not a problem; it's also convenient for himself, after all, Qi Ping hopes that everyone can cooperate with each other tacitly, so he doesn't care much about these things.
