Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1062
Serenity watched her brothers-in-law bickering and felt envious. The brothers and uncles of the York family were harmonious,
unlike the Hunt family where everyone was trying to plot against another.
“Elisa, what did you say you wanted to invest in?”
Serenity remembered about the investment and asked Elisa about it while eating the barbecue seafood platter her man specially
prepared for her.
Jasmine also pricked her ears to listen.
She also felt some pressure now because of Josh. When she saw how her best friend was trying so hard to improve herself in
order to shorten the gap between Zachary and her, Jasmine did not want to stand idly by anymore.
“All the industries are saturated now, so it’s hard for us to compete with others. When I accompanied you back to your hometown
yesterday, I saw the fields in your village were basically deserted.”
Serenity nodded. “Many of them are abandoned. The young people leave the village to work, so only the elderly and children are
left at home. However, they can’t do any work, so the fields end up that way”
Her family’s fields which she had seen from afar were also left aside.
Well, her relatives in the village were considered rich, so they could live a better life than everyone else without needing to farm.
“I was thinking, how about we arrange for a person to rent all the barren fields there, and then plant grass and vegetables? Of
course, we don’t have to manage it ourselves. We’ll hire someone to take care of it instead. I’m afraid your relatives will sabotage
the fields if we show up
“If we succeed in planting them, we won’t have to worry about the market. Villa areas and urban greening need grass, which is
what we’ll be planting specifically. We can also plant vegetables and fruits.
“Stone Group and York Corporation have many hotels under their banner, and they need a large number of fruits and vegetables
every day. Of course, our goal is to sell to other hotels. We’re not trying to earn. money from our own families.
“School cafeterias, large factory canteens, and the likes also need a large number of fruits and vegetables every day. Although
the competition in this field is also very fierce, I think we’ll have a slight advantage over others.

I saw a lot of deserted fields along the road you took to your hometown. I believe the villagers will be more than happy to rent the
fields to us. Earning some income from the rent is better than leaving them untouched.”
Serenity laughed. “I’m from the countryside, but I never thought of using the fields in the village to make money. You’re good at
thinking outside the box, Elisa. There are too few people still farming in the village, mainly because the fields are scattered, and
each family only has one or two acres of land. They only harvest just enough to feed their own families, so they can’t earn much
money ”
Serenity thought Elisa would open a store selling luxury goods, start a beauty salon, or something along those lines. She did not
expect Elisa to aim at the barren fields in the countryside.
Elisa continued, I’ve made some calculations and think that this investment is profitable. We won’t go that far We’ll just plant
grass, fruits, and vegetables on the fields we contract in Wiltspoon’s countryside. so we’ll save a little on transportation costs. We
won’t profit much if we ship between borders due to the larger costs
I don’t think it’s necessary to worry about marketing as long as our quality is good. If you think the prospects are good, we can
start working. I’ll draft a plan and calculate the cost of the various aspects we need to invest in. I’ll ask Clive’s secretary to handle
the issue of renting the fields since no one in your hometown knows him.”
Serenity said, “Go to the village chief. He will consult the opinions of the villagers and then sign the contract.”
Elisa nodded.
Liberty interjected, “My breakfast diner also needs fruits and vegetables every day. If you guys succeed, I’ll sign a long-term
partnership with you.”
She had just started her own business, but she was ambitious and hoped to eventually open a large restaurant. When her
business grew, her supply of ingredients would increase as well.
Elisa smiled. “Thank you for your support, Liberty, but I prefer to earn other people’s money. Earning money from one’s own
family is only something a person would do when they’re at the end of their rope.”
If a person did business with their own family, they would be called heartless if the prices were high. If the prices were low, they
would end up losing money instead. Either way, it was a lose-lose situation.
