Chapter 335: Another profit

'You, you...'

Ji Changming was at a loss for words after being choked by the other person's words.

It was obvious that as the second young master of the Ji family, Ji Changming had not suffered much hardship since childhood.

Coupled with the fact that the Ji family had been in business for generations, he had no understanding of farming at all.

Although he had previously known that Gu Chen had contracted land in the village and planned to sell the grain,

he hastily purchased the goods.

However, they were all substandard products that had been stockpiled in warehouses in previous years and could not even be sold.

Moreover, the man surnamed Hu had been in the grain business for many years.

How would he be willing to sell Ji Changming's rubbish just for the sake of a small advantage?

'Boss Gu, I think we'd better weigh the grain quickly,'

The man surnamed Hu turned his head and looked at Gu Chen, and said eagerly.

Gu Chen naturally smiled and nodded slightly.

He only thought in his heart that, indeed, good things grown with Lingquan water are sure to sell well.

And after he gave his approval, the surrounding villagers also followed suit and got busy.

After all the grain had been weighed and calculated, Gu Chen's net income this time directly reached 148,000 yuan.

Although the income per unit area was not as high as that from the fruit shop, the investment was very small.

Compared to the initial investment in the fruit shop, which included buying a shop and doing renovations, and the large amount of money spent on marketing, the investment in the farm was very small.

The land in the village was very cheap, and it was looked after by his parents and Tian Laosi.

Gu Chen himself was very relieved, and only needed to deliver some Lingquan water from time to time.

Moreover, it was a long-term business, and the crops planted by Gu Chen could be harvested every three to four months.

This is quite a substantial income.

Gu Chen stood on the ridge and reached out to accept the money handed over by the man surnamed Hu.

These days, even 10,000 yuan households are rare, and a large sum of money of more than 100,000 yuan at a time immediately made the eyes of many villagers around them bulge.

Ji Changming, who had been standing on the side, saw that the transaction between the two sides was complete.

He stared at Gu Chen with malicious triangular eyes, and his heart was simply filled with hatred.

Gu Chen was also in a pretty good mood at the moment, and looked around at the group of villagers staring at him.

He then directly found out that 8,000 yuan was handed over to Tian Laosi, who was standing nearby, and at the same time instructed:

'Uncle Tian, the villagers have been busy with the grain harvest this time, so you take care of it.

It's better to pay them all today, and if there is any left over,

Then we'll buy a few tables of food in the village and treat the villagers as a reward for my care today.'

Once these words were spoken, the villagers present all burst into applause.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and they all praised Gu Chen for his generosity.

After all, when they farmers work outside,

which boss doesn't try to find ways to suppress their wages.

If they really can't get by and want to spend a little early to cover living expenses,

They have to be subservient and say all the right things to please the boss.

If they can get paid once a month, they'll be lucky.

If they get a heartless boss, they might not get paid for half a year or even a year.

In contrast, working for Gu Chen is a breeze.

Not only is the money paid in full and on time, but there are even banquets after the work is done.

It's hard to find such a good boss.

Thinking about this, the respect and affection that everyone had for Gu Chen rose to a new level.

They even felt a little pride at being able to call Gu Chen their fellow villager.

'Hahaha... Gu Chen is really generous, well done!'

'You're right, we don't have anything else, but we have strength. Mr. Gu, don't forget us next time.'

'Boss Gu, you're really a good person, just let me know if you need any work in the future!'

The people present could not help but praise him.

Hearing Gu Chen's previous words, Tian Laosi also happily agreed.

'Okay, you go ahead, I'll go down and make the arrangements.'

Then he turned around and greeted the group of villagers, lining them up to be paid.

The man surnamed Hu also stood there with a smile on his face, feeling glad in his heart that he had done business with Gu Chen before.

After all, he was very happy to be dealing with someone who followed the rules.

Then his eyes couldn't help but fall on the neatly stacked bundles of bright green grain stalks in the field.

He couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, and immediately reached out to hold Gu Chen, asking with a look of expectation.

'Boss Gu, I wonder if there is any other use for these corn stalks?'

Gu Chen was taken aback when he heard him ask this question. Previously, he had been focused on the grain.

He had never really thought about what to do with the corn stalks all over the ground.

But from what he had heard, it seemed that there was even a use for this?

'Originally, in the village, we usually dried these things and used them for firewood, or buried them in the soil to make fertilizer.

Is there anything else you need, Boss Hu?' Gu Chen asked, a little puzzled.

As soon as he heard Gu Chen say this, the man surnamed Hu immediately patted his thighs in a state of panic.

'Wasting food is a crime against nature, this is really a waste!'

Having said this, he quickly took Gu Chen's hand and explained with a face full of excitement.

'Boss Gu, to be honest with you, I have a cousin who processes green silage.

What he needs most right now is the tender, green grain stalks from your field.

These are all good treasures for making high-grade feed, how can they be used for burning?

It so happens that I see that you don't need them either, so how about this, I will give you an additional 40,000 yuan.

You can sell me all of these grain stalks in your field as well.'

However, upon hearing this, Ji Changming, who was standing nearby, was also shocked.

He didn't expect that Gu Chen would actually value a pile of useless grain stalks so highly.

Then he thought about the several trucks of grain that he still had in stock.

No matter what, he could not let Gu Chen continue to make such a profit.

The next second, he rushed forward and said:

'I say, Boss Hu, it's just about making feed. I have several carts of grain here.

It's much better than Gu Chen's worthless grain stalks, and I'll only charge you 30,000 this time.

But there's one condition: you must never accept any more of his grain, okay?'

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Hu could not help but burst out laughing at Ji Changming.

Then, without thinking, he spat directly at his feet.

He scolded angrily with a displeased look on his face.

'I'll buy you a hammer. Where the hell did you come from, idiot?

You want 30,000 for that pile of junk? Get the hell out of here.

If you disturb me doing business again, I'll have someone come and break your three legs right now, believe it or not.'

As soon as the words fell, a group of burly porters with sneering faces surrounded Ji Changming.

Seeing this, Ji Changming was suddenly scared and screamed.

He dared not say another word and immediately fled with a group of young thugs.
