Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1588 Xu Zhiming's plan
Talking about this issue, Xu Zhiming's expression became serious.Originally, he thought it was a job of growing rice, at least for several years, so he didn't think too much about it for the time being.I never thought that the trial of rice planting would go so smoothly, and the national promotion will start in just one year. Next year, Xu Zhiming will be unemployed again.

After pondering for a while, Xu Zhiming smiled wryly and said, "What else can I plan, the most I can do is to go back to my old job. Anyway, the fishing boat is still there, and I can go fishing after a little repair."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I have no problem with you returning to the old business, but the land of the trial planting base has been leased by Xianhu Company for 20 years. If you want, I will sublease the land to you free of charge, and you can continue to use it." Plant fairy gourd rice, and the harvested rice company can buy it from you at the market price!"

Xu Zhiming immediately smiled and said: "Of course I am willing, but this is equivalent to taking advantage of the company, I..."

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it." Zhao Lei waved his hand and said, "I can't let so much land go to waste like this, it's good to be able to use it."

Immortal gourd rice on the market today is expensive, and even if large-scale planting starts next year, it will definitely be much more expensive than ordinary rice.And Xu Zhiming can use this land without spending money, and the income from planting fairy gourd rice will definitely not be low, and it may be more profitable than his fishing.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiming was also very happy, and said with a smile all over his face, "You can earn a lot of money by selling rice, and with the income from fishing, next year's life will be even better, haha!"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Don't be too quick to laugh, besides the trial planting base, I plan to leave the fry sale to you as well."

Last year, the fairy gourd brand eel fry and saury fry were very popular. Zhao Lei heard that the owners of those fish farms have made a lot of money because of it.In this case, the fish fry business will definitely continue next year, after all, no one will have money and not make money.

However, selling fish fry requires dealing with the owner of the fish farm. If Zhao Lei manages the stall himself, he will have to stay on Chongming Island for at least half a month.For Zhao Lei, whose business is getting bigger and bigger and busier at the same time, the loss outweighs the gain.

So Zhao Lei decided to give full play to the style of the hands-off shopkeeper and hand over the sale of fish fry to Xu Zhiming, so that he can relax a lot.

Xu Zhiming was taken aback and said, "Fry fry is a big business with several million dollars. Do you think I can do it?"

"How can a man say no!" Zhao Lei said with a smile: "In fact, this business is also very simple. I will hand over the fish fry to you, and you will be responsible for counting and collecting the money. You will only be busy for two or three weeks every year. If you are willing to take responsibility In this business, 5% of the annual fish fry sales are yours!"

"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" Hearing what Zhao Lei said, Xu Zhiming no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded in agreement.

As Xu Zhiming said, selling Xianhu brand fish fry is already a big business worth several million dollars, even if it is only 5%, it is a lot of money.Just a few weeks of busy work every year, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a fool would refuse such a good opportunity.

Zhao Lei was also very happy to be able to lighten his own burden, and said to Xu Zhiming with a smile, "Okay, then it's settled!"

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Lei remembered the finless porpoise he rescued during the day, so he pretended to be casual and asked Xu Zhiming: "Old Xu, how much do you know about finless porpoises?"

"Our local people call it Jiangzhu, and now it is a first-class protected animal. I heard that the number is very small." As expected of an experienced fisherman, Xu Zhiming immediately talked to Zhao Lei: "When I was young, this animal was still There are quite a lot of them, and I can often see them when fishing on the river. But after that, they became less and less, and now it is very difficult to see river pigs, if this continues..."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhiming shook his head, and said sadly: "I'm afraid it will be completely extinct soon like the Baijiang pig!"

Knowing that the Baijiang pig that Xu Zhiming mentioned is the Baiji dolphin, Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask him: "I heard that the country is already protecting the finless porpoise, so it shouldn't be extinct, right?"

"It's hard to say." Xu Zhiming took a pessimistic attitude towards this: "After all, finless porpoises are not like pandas. They are cute. The whole world is concerned about their protection. Finless porpoises are different, except for those of us who live by the river. Fishermen, there are very few people who can know the finless porpoise, let alone protect it, and..."

Speaking of which, Xu Zhiming took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "And the river pigs live in the river, so it's hard to see them, let alone protect them. It's even more difficult!"

After hearing Xu Zhiming's words, Zhao Lei was also silent.What he said is indeed very reasonable. It seems that protecting the finless porpoise is really very difficult. If this continues, it may be a matter of time before this animal becomes extinct.

It was already late when Zhao Lei left the Chongming Trial Planting Base, so he found a hotel on the island to stay.After entering the room, Zhao Lei locked the door carefully, and entered the gourd space with a thought, to check the condition of the finless porpoise.

The abundant aura in the gourd space does have a good therapeutic effect on injured animals.Zhao Lei was pleasantly surprised to find that the dying finless porpoise could swim slowly in the river.At this rate of recovery, it won't take long for the finless porpoise to recover, and it can be released into the wild.

"It's recovered pretty quickly." Zhao Lei nodded in satisfaction, and a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and he thought of a good idea to protect the finless porpoise.

Since there is an environment suitable for finless porpoises in the gourd space, why not find a way to catch a few and raise them, and then release them to the wild after they have multiplied. Wouldn’t this expand the population of finless porpoises?
After having this idea, Zhao Lei further thought that since he has already started to protect animals, it is better to simply set up an animal protection base to protect various endangered animals.I believe that with Zijin gourds in hand, these endangered animals will be better protected, and many species that are destined to be extinct may be saved.

The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. If he could use the Zijin gourd to save some species, it would be a very meaningful thing.After all, there is a saying that "with great power comes great responsibility". Now that Zhao Lei has this ability, it's okay to do something meaningful.

However, to save endangered animals, there will definitely be a lot of trouble and resistance in the name of an individual.So after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Lei decided that it would be better to do it in the name of Xianhu Charity Foundation.After all, protecting animals is also one of the daily tasks of charitable foundations. Compared with Zhao Lei doing it in his own name, it is less likely to attract the attention of interested people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei didn't hesitate, and immediately called Zhang Lei to discuss this matter.However, just as Zhang Lei connected the phone, he heard a hint of crying in Xiaojiali's voice.
