Farming Space Makes Me Rich (4)

Chapter 794: Kindergarten

In just half a year, Xiao Lingyu built a farm in seven regions of China. Every farm had its own characteristics.

Of course, other than being a tourist attraction, these farms were used to grow vegetables, grains, and fruits.

Xiao Lingyu's investment in these farms had already reached tens of billions.

After all, not every place had ready-made conditions like Phoenix Ridge. The other farms needed to be built from the ground up. It required time, effort, and cost.

However, this also meant that they were relatively remote. The cost of buying land or renting land was a lot less than that of the city. The compensation given to the farmers for their relocation was much lesser than otherwise. Of course, Xiao Lingyu didn't take advantage of anyone. She was merely paying according to the market price.

Xiao Lingyu was a merchant. She wasn't to go around printing money to give the locals as compensation for relocating.

To put it bluntly, she wasn't a saint. Why would she give them so much money? Was it because they were poor?

Of course, there were many disputes during the construction process, especially when the villagers felt that the compensation was too little.

Of course, unless these matters could not be resolved, Xiao Lingyu would leave it to the person in charge to handle them.

If she handled everything on her own, why would she hire so many people at her company?

The farms were built. As for the planting, the spring water and seeds were transported from Taoyuan Village. Even if many people had doubts, they knew that this was a trade secret.

They guessed that this transparent liquid was the secret that made these vegetables and fruits taste unique. However, they had no way of knowing what this transparent liquid was.

Perhaps one day, this secret would be exposed, but when that day came, Xiao Lingyu would have made a fortune already.

Once the farms were ready for the harvest, it was time to sell. Each fruit and vegetable had its production cycles.

Even if the growth cycle could be shortened due to the effect of the spiritual spring water, it would still take at least two to three months to produce a large number of them.

In this buffer period of two to three months, it was time to choose the location of the supermarkets.

Xiao Lingyu chose to open the chains in big cities close to the farms. No matter how poor the county was, there would be rich people.

Xiao Lingyu's goal was to open a supermarket chain in every city. Therefore, she was not opening one or two chains but more than a hundred of them. Naturally, this would require a large sum of money.

However, whether it was buying or renting, the cost of opening a supermarket store was much lower compared to investing in a farm. The biggest problem was the recruitment of employees.

Green Fresh Supermarket always looked for employees with good character and ability. However, it was hard to tell a person's character in a short amount of time.

Due to Taoyuan Village and Green Fresh's reputation, many people queued up to apply when they heard the news. Whether it was for ordinary employees or high-level executives, many people came to apply.

Some of them just came for food.

After all, they had heard about how delicious the things in the supermarkets were. However, the stock at the supermarket was not cheap. The rich and powerful could afford to buy them daily but not the normal citizens. Therefore, if they wanted to eat them daily, the best solution was to become an employee there. This was because the supermarkets had their own canteens. The canteens provided food cooked with vegetables sourced from the supermarkets. To have this delicious food daily, even if the salary was lower, they were willing. Furthermore, Green Fresh was famous for its good treatment and benefits for its employees.
