Xianyuan Farm
Chapter 649 The first wave of ripe fruits
The unbearable cocktail party finally ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. If Gu Hongyu hadn't had an idea to run to the locker room and secretly eat some fruits from the Xianyuan Space, he really couldn't have survived.
After eating something, Gu Hongyu returned to the hall again and continued to chat with other business elites present. As a result, Gu Hongyu carefully looked at one or two people who unconsciously covered their stomachs with their hands. They were probably hungry, but they were talking to Gu Hongyu to hold on.
When the cocktail party ended, the group of people left immediately. Gu Hongyu only heard Bacon Hatton say from afar when he would organize a surfing event again and asked him to be there!
It was also at the end of the cocktail party that Sun Dalei found Gu Hongyu again. The two sides left each other a phone number, and the other party left with satisfaction.
…
After the signing ceremony for the purchase of the land, Gu Hongyu ushered in the busiest period of the farm. Even with the help of Lin Feiyu and several brothers, he still felt a little dizzy.
First, the farm was demarcated. Gu Hongyu was in charge of this task at the beginning. As a result, he became a hands-off boss after working for 50 square kilometers for two days, and Huang Qiang was forced to take over this arduous and glorious task.
The demarcation task had just been let go, and the planning and design drawings of the Seaview Island Resort Center were ready. Gu Hongyu's decision would determine whether the work of several design institutes in the past few days would be in vain. Lin Feiyu naturally did not dare to make his own decision.
In fact, the design drawings of the Seaview Island Resort Center designed by several design institutes were very good. I was deeply impressed by the fact that one design institute designed the resort center in a very ethnic style, which borrowed many Chinese elements.
Maybe it was to please Gu Hongyu himself, but Gu Hongyu didn't think so. He believed that the community to be built would reflect Chinese characteristics. If the resort center was still like this, it would cause overlapping scenery.
The resort center designed by another design institute was very modern. The simple and bright architectural style and various exterior walls with strong streamlined lines give people a feeling of high-end atmosphere and class. Walking into here is like walking into a high-tech city.
Although they hit the mark of Gu Hongyu's preference for simple decoration style, they deviated from the theme of the resort center. Gu Hongyu positioned the resort center as a place for relaxation and leisure, allowing urban white-collar workers or people under pressure to come here to release stress and relieve emotions.
If the above design principles are used, many urban white-collar workers will think that another busy work is waiting for them when they come here. Not only can it not relieve the pressure of the visitors, but it may even be counterproductive.
The design scheme selected by Gu Hongyu is very simple among these schemes. They use the original Australian architectural style and rows of wooden buildings near the sea. Even in hotel design, they will paint the walls with imitation natural colors to give visitors a feeling of returning to nature and being immersed in the scene.
On several islands, the designers are very obedient to the natural island environment. There is a beach and a coconut grove by the sea. In the middle of the island is a sparse forest, surrounded by a flower garden, and several buildings that look like ancient castles are looming in the woods.
Several islands that are close to each other, these designers also ingeniously use cable bridges to connect the islands together. Such a design is destined to become a place where tourists will focus in the future.
There is also a small island with a good location. On one side of the island is a deep-water port. The designer also followed Gu Hongyu's advice and built a dock here. Those who like surfing and yachting will definitely be particularly fond of this.
Looking at the detailed planning maps of each area, Gu Hongyu was very satisfied with one after another.
This is the design that moved him, and it is also the human building that he yearns for in harmony with nature. People will only enjoy the original life brought to them here, try to avoid deliberate affectation, and enjoy the joy brought to them by nature.
Yes, when the weekend comes, bring the whole family or call three or five friends to this fairyland-like resort center. Swimming, diving, boating, enjoying the sun, enjoying the beach...
Watching Gu Hongyu finally make the decision. The staff of the winning design institute jumped up immediately, while the staff of other design institutes were dejected and extremely upset. Yes, it is the same for everyone if their elaborate design is not recognized.
However, Gu Hongyu quietly told Lin Feiyu to quietly hand over an envelope to the leaders of these design institutes. You should know what is inside without thinking, right?
Yes, it was a little thought from Gu Hongyu. Each of the unsuccessful design institutes still received a design fee of 100,000 euros.
Gu Hongyu didn't care about this little money after spending a lot of money, not to mention that he could also leave a good reputation. Gu Hongyu really valued the latter.
The mood of the other few companies who got the unexpected money was finally better. They thanked Gu Hongyu and left one after another.
After the design was completed, the remaining design units began to prepare building materials and construction personnel to enter the site to lay the foundation. Gu Hongyu also had to advance part of the construction funds. It was a headache to make various budgets. Fortunately, Lin Feiyu borrowed the accounting staff of Joyce Company, which was considered a rescue.
However, Gu Hongyu, who had just emerged from this pile of trivial matters, plunged into the tediousness of all aspects of the farm.
Lin Feiyu was tied up by the Xiaodao Seaview Resort Center, and many things on the orchard had to be done by Gu Hongyu himself.
After the vegetable greenhouse in Honghu Village in China was completely shut down, the vegetable plantations in Australia could only meet the supply from the Hall family in the United States. Now the vegetables in the entire Hong Kong area could not be taken care of.
Originally, Gu Hongyu discussed with Lin Yuantao to give up the business in Hong Kong and let him come to Australia to make a living with him, but Lin Yuantao and Shen Fengzhu thought about it for a while and still did not agree. The reason was simple. Now the market in Hong Kong is very large, and it would be a pity to give it up.
When facing Lin Yuantao's breach of contract, none of the big hotels in Hong Kong asked for compensation for economic losses, because they knew from Lin Yuantao that Australia was reclaiming wasteland to the greatest extent, and once the vegetables were planted, they would be able to meet the demand in Hong Kong. Of course, those big hotels can calculate this gain and loss. If they can maintain the business for two months (that is, the vegetable growth cycle of Australian farms), their good days will continue, or even better, because stopping the supply will compensate those hotels, and they will get more vegetable shares.
Gu Hongyu in Australia is cultivating wasteland and planting vegetables. Now the farm has become extremely spacious. At Gu Hongyu's request, the Yorkshire Magistrate specially found agricultural experts for him to plan a special vegetable planting area, fruit garden area and grazing area for his farm according to local conditions.
These are not trivial matters. In order to show solemnity, Gu Hongyu had to accompany these experts all day long. Following the experts in the empty farm, Gu Hongyu also gained a little from it. At least he knew many advanced scientific methods of managing the farm.
What terrain is suitable for what kind of agricultural production, and where various facilities should be built, especially drip irrigation technology, water and fertilizer technology, and many emerging technologies in agriculture, which aroused Gu Hongyu's interest.
This time, the construction of Xianyuan Farm must use high technology to make the farm more modern and technological after it is built, so that employees will not always face the loess and back to the sky, and may also save a lot of labor costs. According to Australia's wage costs, it is simply a profitable thing in the long run.
After only one day of driving around the farm with the expert, Gu Hongyu got close to the agricultural expert named Elton. When Gu Hongyu mentioned the new agricultural technology, the expert Elton immediately became enthusiastic. The two also had similar interests. Soon Gu Hongyu asked the other party to become a scientific and technological consultant of the farm.
Three days passed quickly, and Elton also inspected the overall situation of Xianyuan Farm in detail. Because the vegetables were selling well, Gu Hongyu first asked the expert Elton to make a rough plan for the vegetable plantation for him, and to open up the area designated by the expert first. Irrigation equipment and other things can only be planned later.
After sending off the agricultural expert Elton, Gu Hongyu rushed to the farm orchard without stopping.
It was already late spring in Australia, and some fruit varieties in the orchard were about to meet the requirements for listing. In this orchard, various fruit trees were irrigated with much more space spring water than those in Honghu Village, and the fruits on the trees looked particularly tempting.
The fruit was about to be sold to the outside world, and Gu Hongyu had to make up his mind about this.
After receiving the notice from his cousin and looking at the situation in the orchard, Gu Hongyu called Joyce without saying a word.
"Gu, how long have you been in Australia? Joyce, should it not be called Xianyuan Agricultural Group, has grown a lot. When are you free to come and inspect it!" Joyce was very happy to receive Gu Hongyu's call. Since Gu Hongyu holds 80% of the shares of this company, it is now a branch of Xianyuan Agricultural Group.
Gu Hongyu smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after this busy period. Now there is one thing. There are several kinds of fruits in my orchard that are about to be put on the market, cherries, peaches, loquats..., you can send someone or go to the market to check the fruit market yourself."
"Ah, the fruits on the farm are about to be put on the market. No, I have to go to the orchard to check it out." Joyce said and hung up the phone.
In less than an hour, the guy must have hung up the phone and rushed from Brisbane to his farm. As soon as he arrived at the farm, Joyce dragged Gu Hongyu to the orchard. When he saw the cherries as big as ping-pong balls, peaches slightly smaller than rugby balls, and loquats as bright yellow as goose eggs, he was completely stunned.
"Gu, how is this possible? How did you do it..."
