Small Farmer Medical God novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Chapter 039: Pie in the Sky?

At this moment, Dagui was unaware that Hu Xiaobei was hurrying his way. Of course, even if he had known, Dagui wouldn’t have cared because, right now, he was preoccupied with something far more important—an esteemed guest crucial to his life!

This esteemed guest was none other than Fang Zhonghu, owner of a cannery in Big River Town, a figure of considerable repute there!

"Boss Fang, it is truly an honor to meet you!"

As Fang Zhonghu appeared before him, clad in a black suit, Dagui greeted him with great respect!

Though just a village chief, Dagui was well aware of his modest standing before such a person. Thus, he humbled himself as much as he could in front of Fang Zhonghu.

"You flatter me too much, Village Chief Wang!"

Dagui, hearing Fang speak so amicably, quickly waved his hands, "Flattery? How? You are one of Big River Town’s major taxpayers, its greatest entrepreneur! Of course, I should show you the utmost respect!"

Dagui knew that Fang Zhonghu’s name carried weight in these parts, so he naturally went out of his way to curry favor—after all, befriending him could do absolutely no harm!

"Great, I am? I’m just a fairly successful businessman!"

"You’re too modest! By the way, Boss Fang, what brings you here?"

Dagui asked curiously.

He was genuinely puzzled, as he had no idea why Fang Zhonghu would seek him out, considering they had had no previous interactions!

"Here’s the situation: Our cannery is looking to expand. With this expansion, the demand for various fresh fruits has increased substantially! Relying solely on purchasing from other areas can sometimes be troublesome. That’s why I thought of initiating a pilot cooperation with a few villages. Here’s the plan: we provide the saplings, and your village is responsible for planting them. Once mature, we will purchase the fruits at a price above market rates. What do you think?"

"This... this is fantastic news! Absolutely fantastic!"

Overwhelmed, Dagui blurted out.

He knew this was a great opportunity if they could indeed forge a partnership!

Seeing Dagui brimming with excitement, Fang Zhonghu smiled, "Of course, it’s a good thing! Cooperation naturally aims for a win-win situation!"

"Right! Right! Right! Boss Fang, how long will it take for the trees to bear fruit?"

In his excitement, Dagui asked a question that concerned him deeply.

Dagui knew if the trees took three to five years to bear fruit, then collaborating wouldn’t be worthwhile since the results would take too long.

Understanding why Dagui asked, Fang Zhonghu explained naturally, "It will take one year. That is, if planted this spring, they will bloom by next spring and bear fruit in the summer!"

"But... but that’s a whole year of waiting!"

Dagui frowned slightly.

A year was acceptable to him, but he knew he had to play up his difficulties to gain the maximum benefits...

"Yes! I’ve already thought about this issue. During that year while the trees grow, I can provide compensation to the villagers! Although it won’t be a large amount, it certainly helps everyone cope!"

Hearing about the compensation, Dagui was satisfied, "Haha! Boss Fang, you really have thought everything through! In that case, I’ll discuss it with the villagers!"

"Great! Once you’ve discussed it and have the figures, report them back to me, and I will provide the saplings. Of course, throughout the process, I will send a Master to offer full guidance on the cultivation!"

"Deal!"
