Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Continuously Adding Condiments to the Pie (First Update)
Translator: 549690339
It can be said that Xiao Yucheng is truly a cultured person, and moreover, he has worked as an executive in a big company outside.
Each progress report on company projects and every company and village meeting always managed to rouse high emotions in people.
It’s like there was a pie in front of everyone, which everyone could already see, yet he continued to add seasoning to it, making the pie look even more tempting and appetizing.
The emotions of the whole village were driven by Xiao Yucheng as if they had already seen the vegetables and fruits of their village being sold all over the country, and then becoming famous.
But while the whole village of Xiao Family Village was positive and looking forward to it, people from other villages were constantly pouring cold water on them, mocking the Xiao Family Village villagers for their wild imaginations.
“Haha, just growing vegetables and they can sell them all over the country?
That’s just wishful thinking.”
“Exactly. We haven’t heard of any place that can sell its vegetables all over the country. In many places, the vegetables are grown locally and sold back to the locals. Otherwise, the transportation of the vegetables would be a problem, especially for long distances. After two or three days of transportation, by the time the vegetables have arrived, they will likely have rotted.”
“Well, isn’t transportation now using some kind of preservative or refrigerated transport? It shouldn’t be that easy to spoil, right?”
“It won’t spoil easily, but I’ve heard that the taste of frozen vegetables and fruits is far worse.’
“But the vegetables from Xiao Family Village haven’t even been grown yet, so what are we worrying about for them?”
“Right. They have established a company in their village, and I heard they are also planning to raise a large number of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and cows. They have already built large-scale breeding farms.”
“Ha, so many animals; can they sell them all?”
Indeed, people who haven’t accomplished big things always have some groundless fears.
They never believed that so many things could be sold; how can all of this be
sold?
“Haha, who knows? Maybe they really have this ability. The company they established is not casually set up. The company has not started making money yet, but it already went to the bank to get a loan – borrowing hundreds of thousands.”
“Ha, borrowing so much? Can the vegetables they grow sell for so much? They are already in debt before earning money. It seems like they are making money for the bank.’
“That’s true. Vegetables are cheap, and there are only a few hundred acres, which can’t sell for much. It seems that the people of Xiao Family Village are going down a dead-end road. We’ll just wait and see.”
“The whole village is growing vegetables. I don’t know what they’re thinking.”
Of course, the villagers of Xiao Family Village heard the whispers of the people outside.
Many people’s concerns were just like what the outsiders said – how much can these vegetables sell for? The company hasn’t made any profit yet, but they have already borrowed hundreds of thousands from the bank. They must repay the bank first, so how much money can they make?
Privately, many villagers started discussing among themselves.
“The company borrowed so much money; can we pay it all back just by growing vegetables?”
“Moreover, since the establishment of the company, any action it has taken has cost money. Except for our voluntary efforts to grow vegetables in the whole village, it seems that everything else costs money. Even hiring a cleaner for the company costs money, as well as paying salaries to the company employees who go to work there. Besides, establishing such large breeding farms and buying seedlings also requires a lot of money. I don’t know if the borrowed money from the bank is enough.’
