Chapter 793: Spending Money Like Water!

After the Phoenix Villa was taken over by Xiao Lingyu, she immediately changed its name to Phoenix Ridge Green Fresh Farm.

The place was named according to its location just like Taoyuan Village.

After changing its name, Phoenix Farm immediately carried out a reform. Back then, the Phoenix Villa had bought two mountains to use as tourist attractions. The Phoenix Villa had been in the business for more than a decade. Therefore, the area it occupied was not less than that of Taoyuan village. Xiao Lingyu felt that there was no need to expand.

However, there were not enough mountains. The two existing mountains were used as tourist destinations. Xiao Lingyu needed more mountains to plant fruit trees.

Xiao Lingyu sent Xiang Guohua, Zhang Lele, and others to investigate the surrounding geographical environment.

Phoenix Ridge Farm was undergoing changes in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the public relations department of the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh group released relevant information, announcing that Phoenix Villa had been acquired by Taoyuan Village and was now a branch of the farm. At the same time, it was renamed Phoenix Ridge Green Fresh Farm. Phoenix Ridge Green Fresh Farm was now undergoing a comprehensive transformation. It would open for business at 8:08 on March 16th.

Once this news was released, it caused a huge sensation in the tourism industry.

“Damn. Phoenix Villa has been sold to Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group. Is this news true?”

“It must be true. Didn’t you see that this news was officially released by the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group?”

“Fate is really fickle. Phoenix Villa used to be the number one farm in the country. But now it has been acquired.”

“This is their own doing. Ever since Taoyuan Village appeared, Phoenix Villa’s business had dropped. However, they were still able to survive. But, they wanted to go and frame Taoyuan Village. They used despicable methods to try to bring down the other party, but in the end, they were the ones who were being bought out. This is really funny. This is a typical case of shooting yourself in the foot.”

“I wonder how Phoenix Villa will change. Will it be like Taoyuan Village?”

“This shouldn’t be too different. Taoyuan Village’s Farm is famous for its paradise view. Could Phoenix Ridge Farm end up as another paradise?”

“Why not? It’d be run by the same company.”

“I heard that they will plant lychees in Phoenix Ridge Farm and will probably grow a large number of lychee trees. Green Fresh Group has already sent people to prepare for it.”

“Wow. Lychee flowers might not be as pretty as peach blossoms, but they are extremely fragrant.”

“Now, I’m getting interested.”

The netizens on the internet were discussing fervently on the forums. On this side, Xiang Guohua and Zhang Lele reported the situation to Xiao Lingyu.

“President Xiao, this is the report!” Xiang Guohua reported very seriously.

After Xiao Lingyu heard their report, he asked them directly, “Which mountains do you think have development value?”

Xiang Guohua and Zhang Lele were shocked. They immediately understood that Xiao Lingyu was testing their ability and boldness.

After Xiang Guohua and Zhang Lele looked at each other, Xiang Guohua took out a simple map and pointed it out one by one. He said very seriously, “These mountains are all surrounding Phoenix Ridge in the form of natural protection. Phoenix Ridge Farm will follow the model of Taoyuan Village. Therefore, these mountains mustn’t be too far away, or the tourists wouldn’t be able to visit all of them in a day…” Xiang Guohua explained the various reasons for choosing these few mountains.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said with some satisfaction, “You did a good job this time.”

Xiang Guohua’s eyes lit up, and he said humbly, “Thank you for your praise, President Xiao. I’m just learning from the seniors in the company.”

They had been in the Peach Blossom Village’s Green Fresh Group for a long time. Since President Xiao had handed this job to them, it was obvious that she wanted to promote and nurture them.

If they didn’t even have the ability, Xiao Lingyu would probably send them back to their original posts.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “You’re quite humble. Not bad, keep it up!”

Following that, they discussed the rental of these few mountains and the migration of the villagers.

Of course, the matter of these few mountains probably wouldn’t be as smooth as Taoyuan village. Taoyuan Village was Xiao Lingyu’s hometown after all, and most of the villagers trusted Xiao Lingyu.

But it was different here. Green Fresh Group was quite famous, but not every villager knew about it.

Therefore, the matter of moving the villagers near the foot of the mountain became the most troublesome and time-consuming matter.

Xiao Lingyu’s plan was to plant all kinds of plants on the original farmland in Phoenix Ridge. The original Phoenix Villa was slightly smaller than the Taoyuan Village. It occupied about 200 hectares, which was equivalent to about 3,000 mu of land.

After that, Xiao Lingyu asked people to plan out the land for planting crops. Then, she immediately asked people to plant vegetables, potatoes, and other crops.

The fertilizer used to irrigate this land was barrels of transparent liquid transported from the Taoyuan Village. It was said that the vegetables grown in the Taoyuan village relied on these things.

No one doubted it!

The vegetables and fruits produced in the Taoyuan Village were all well-known throughout the country. They were truly the fruits and vegetables of the nobility. Not only were they expensive, but they also sold very well. There were nearly 50 chain stores in the country.

These 50 chain stores were all located in big cities.

All kinds of seeds were transported from Taoyuan Village.

There were also all kinds of technicians who were also sent over.

“This liquid is prepared in proportion. One kilogram of liquid is mixed with 300 kilograms of water,” the technician said to the worker very seriously.

When the worker heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He asked in a daze, “Does that mean we have to mix it every time we need to irrigate a new land? But there are so many plots to irrigate!”

“…” The technician said, “There is no need to do that. The pool we designed and built has water lines. You just need to follow them accurately. Plus, there are specialized personnels who will check this regularly. You don’t have to worry about it.”

When the worker heard that, he immediately replied, “Oh, is that so?”

Then, someone asked curiously, “Master Li, what exactly is this transparent liquid? Why is it so mysterious?”

The technician glanced at him and said indifferently, “This is a trade secret. Don’t ask.” He didn’t know the answer either. He did what the higher-ups ordered him to do. But he knew that this transparent liquid was the most important reason why the vegetables and fruits tasted so good.

Because Phoenix Ridge Farm was the first farm Xiao Lingyu contracted outside of Xing An Town, she supervised it personally with the help of Xiang Guohua and Zhang Lele. She spent most of her time following the process at the farm.

She also had to secure more farms in the other six regions in China.

Since she planned to have farms in different regions, then she would open more supermarket chains.

Xiao Lingyu was so busy.

She was a decisive person. Since she already had a strategic plan, she had to implement and develop it as soon as possible.

She bought the Phoenix Villa with 120 million. Then, she spent 500 to 600 million in one go on all sorts of renovation measures, including renting the mountain, moving the villagers, renting the shops, and so on. The money flowed like water. She spent even more money to establish Green Fresh farms all over the country.

Even though she had a daily profit of 15 million a day, her expenditure was very high.

The Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group had enough funds on its own and didn’t owe the bank a loan or anything.

The finance director reported to Xiao Lingyu, “CEO Xiao, there’s only 1.5 billion left on the books.”

Xiao Lingyu flipped through the books and sighed, “Only 1.5 billion left. Okay, I got it. You can leave now.”

The finance director opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only said one word, “Okay!”

After the finance director left, Xiao Lingyu gave a wry smile.

“It seems that no matter how much money there is, it will run out eventually.” One changed their targets based on one’s financial situation.

In the past, her simplest wish was to study hard, enter university, find a good job, and share the burden with her parents.

Later, her wish became to farm and sell vegetables and set up a vegetable farm.

Later, her wish became to sell her vegetables and fruits all over the country.

However, people were never satisfied.

The more they earned, the more they felt like they needed money.

There was another billion in the account, but at the rate she was spending money, she would probably spend it in less than a month.

‘Perhaps it’s time to borrow some money.’
