Chapter 237 Resources
Wen Qing asked Tan Yuanfang to transfer the income from the orchard to her account, and reminded the accountant to set up a separate ledger for the orchard. The orchard belonged to her personally, and now there is no agricultural tax. The operating costs of the orchard are labor wages, fertilizers and pesticides.
Wen Qing feels that running an orchard is a really good choice. It is a one-time investment and brings decades of income. She has contracted the orchard for six years and now has recovered all her investment with a surplus. She also paid ten years’ contract fee in advance. She wonders if the price will go up in the future?
Wen Qing felt that she could grow more things in the mountains and forests. She found the orchard's foresters, Lao Li and Lao Tang, and told them her idea of growing medicinal herbs on the mountain. The two men said with some embarrassment: "Director Wen, we are farmers and don't know how to grow medicinal herbs. Besides, there are many things to do in the orchard on the mountain, and we are too busy to handle it."
Wen Qing nodded, "Uncle Li, Uncle Tang, I will arrange the planting of medicinal herbs myself. You just need to help me keep an eye on them and make sure no one harms them. If the herbs get infested with insects or something, please tell me."
These were just some eye candy, and they nodded in agreement.
Wen Qing went to the back mountain by herself, found some relatively flat land, took out a small excavator from the space, moved the stones on the ground, and then took out the rotary tiller she had made before and started digging the soil. The land in the space was flat and vast, and the small agricultural machinery she had made before was no longer needed. Wen Qing bought new agricultural machinery, but she did not throw away the ones she had made before. Instead, she put them in the warehouse. Now the land in the mountains and forests is small, so they can be used just right.
After the land was leveled, Wen Qing took out the grown seedlings of Schisandra chinensis, ginseng, and wolfberry from the space and planted them in plots. Schisandra chinensis is a deciduous vine that requires a trellis, so Wen Qing left a larger distance between the seedlings; Ginseng is a perennial herb that prefers well-drained sandy soil and is shade-loving and cold-resistant, so Wen Qing planted it under the woods on the north slope of the back mountain; Wolfberry likes light and thick soil, so Wen Qing planted them in a more open place.
Wen Qing bought a lot of Chinese medicinal herb seeds, but only planted three kinds of medicinal herbs to facilitate future management and picking. After all, her schedule was very tight and she didn't have much time to spend on Chinese medicinal herbs.
Now she feels that the most stable way to make money is to use natural resources. The creation of heaven and earth is nature's gift to mankind. As long as you follow the four seasons of heaven and earth, then harvesting will not be a problem. The same principle applies to her brewing wine, producing feed, and planting trees and medicinal herbs in the mountains.
Of course, people make more money by mining coal, jade and lithium. "Having a mine at home" is not an adjective, but the truth.
She doesn't have mines, but she has land in space and contracted forests, which are also natural resources, and she feels satisfied.
It's not that Wen Qing hadn't thought about owning a coal mine. She estimated that as long as she was willing to spend money, it was very possible to own a coal mine. She could even lure Xie Yang, Sun Zhengping and others to own a coal mine together, which would be even more likely. However, she was a young woman with no backing and was not good at scheming. She relied on her own skills and hard work, and now she had gained so much wealth. She didn't want to fall into the trap of greed.
"Being content is the key to happiness", "Be content with a small fortune", how many rich people on the ranking list have fallen to the bottom overnight in the past life? Wen Qing secretly took this as a warning.
After being busy at home for a few days, Wen Qing received another call from Xie Yang, asking her to go to the company. She was a little bored at home, so she happily went to Hengsheng Building.
This time the discussion was about the development of the company's two plots of land. Dongcheng Lijing has completed the second phase. Gu Qicheng and Xie Yang think that the location of this land is good, and it would be a pity to build it all into residential buildings, so they decided to stop for a while and wait until the Xicheng Lijing Commercial Center is completed to see the effect. If the effect is good, they can also build a commercial center in Dongcheng.
Xicheng Lijing has already started construction. They invited bids to four construction companies, and the Xicheng District Construction Company where Master Hu works won the bid. Master Hu's construction team has completed many projects in the past four years and made a lot of money. Now the construction team has become a construction company, and he has resigned from the district construction company and become the boss himself. He participated in the Dongcheng Lijing Phase II project last time and made money. He bought a lot of construction machinery for his construction company, and the company's strength has greatly increased. Xicheng Lijing won the bid for Building No. 1, which is the construction of the main building of the hotel.
Changan Construction Company undertook the foundation, civil engineering and commercial center, Huajian undertook Building 2, and the surrounding environment, roads and pipeline installation projects were contracted to Xie Yang's family company.
Currently, the foundation has been excavated. The sales proceeds of Dongcheng Lijing Phase II reached 1.8 million yuan, alleviating the financial pressure of Xicheng Lijing Commercial Center. Shuiya declined the bank's loan request and paid half of the money owed to the construction unit. The remaining half will be paid after the company has inspected the quality, which is also the industry practice.
Dongcheng Lijing Phase II once had a loan of 1000 million yuan, which has not yet matured. Xie Yang asked everyone to discuss whether to repay the bank in advance?
Gu Qicheng attended the meeting. As a veteran businessman, he knew that seeking a bank loan was actually a way to deepen the relationship with the bank. However, Xie Yang and Shui Ya were newcomers in the business and were still unsure about the debt. They always felt that paying a large amount of interest was not cost-effective.
It is now the end of 86. In fact, signs of rising prices have already appeared, and many things are in limited supply.
Wen Qing said, "Chairman Gu, President Xie, I don't know if you have noticed that the prices of pork and grain in the free market have increased a lot this year. The prices of electrical appliances in the market have also increased, and they are difficult to buy."
Shui Ya nodded and said, "The steel prices reported to me by the purchasing department have also increased a lot. I was planning to report to you two. The cost we estimated in the early stage may break through."
Ji Feng and Sun Zhengping usually don't care about family affairs and don't feel anything about the rising prices. They looked at each other, trying to read something from each other's faces.
Xie Yang asked hesitantly: "So we won't pay back the loan yet? Anyway, the repayment time has not yet arrived."
The interest rate of their loan is 5.8%, with a term of three years and two years before maturity. Wen Qing heard from the older generation that in the late 80s, the deposit interest rate exceeded 10%. I wonder if it is true?
Gu Qicheng said: "We can't just leave the money in the account, including the funds in our account now, which should be paid to the construction company and suppliers. The finance department should calculate it as soon as possible and not default."
The interest rate on the three-year time deposit that Wen Qing deposited two months ago was already 8.7%, so she was willing to take out a loan, even if she kept the money in a bank account as a deposit in the future, she would also have interest income.
