Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 291: Being Targeted

Translator: Lonelytree

After listening to Li Jianmin, Liao Guohui’s expression turned greedy. He could not suppress the greed and wildness in his expression. The fervor in his eyes made him want to get his hands on that Little Cattle King right now.

Liao Guohui said excitedly, “Jianmin, you did well. That 40,000 was really worth it. Actually, the person who sold this secret to you for 30,000 was really a fool. This secret is worth 400,000, much less 30,000.”

Li Jianmin smiled and said, “Haha. Boss, we were lucky this time. The moment we got off the car, we ran into Xiao Lingyu’s enemy.” He didn’t know the man’s history with Xiao Lingyu, and he wasn’t interested. In any case, this trip to get the news was really worth it.

Liao Guohui praised, “Jianmin, you did a good job this time. After this investment is successful, I’ll promote you to be the vice president of the company. Continue to work hard, and I’ll promote you to become the President.”

Li Jianmin was pleasantly surprised. His eyes lit up as he said, “Thank you, Boss.”

“Go and get someone to come up with a plan. But remember, the matter of the Taoyuan Village’s Little Cattle King must not be leaked!” Liao Guohui ordered very seriously, “Also, make sure to remind the other two that this matter must be kept strictly confidential. We will carry out a comprehensive plan to take over Taoyuan Village.”

Li Jianmin nodded and replied, “Yes, boss.” There was no reason why they should leak such a piece of wonderful news. It would only make others fight them for the golden land that was Taoyuan Village.

After Li Jianmin left, Liao Guohui gently knocked on the table with one hand and patted his thigh with the other. He narrowed his eyes, revealing an insidious light. Initially, he thought it was the soil at Taoyuan Village which allowed the strawberries to grow. However, he now realized the secret was not the soil but the Little Cattle King. This explained why Taoyuan Village suddenly gained a height in popularity. With the Little Cattle King, he could grow wonderful crops wherever he wanted.

The moment he got the Little Cattle King, he would have a monopoly. That meant he could decide the price however he wanted.

National Union Supermarket sold the strawberries for 35 each, and that was a price for normal customers. If he only catered to high-end clientele, he could sell them for 350 each. In fact, these high-class people preferred the more expensive stuff.

Now, he was told that not only the strawberry but also the other crops were special too. For example, the common Chinese cabbage was only sold for a few cents a catty on the market, and the organic and pollution-free green vegetables in the supermarket were sold for several RMB a catty.

However, the vegetables grown in Taoyuan Village could be sold for more than ten RMB a catty, even in that poor little county town. What if he moved them to sell in a big city? The prices would be many times higher!

Thinking of this, Liao Guohui could not suppress the greed in his eyes. He could see himself taking over the high-end agricultural market. He saw large amounts of money entering his pocket.

But he quickly snapped out of it. He didn’t have the Little Cattle King yet. However, once he had the Little Cattle King, the days of having a money mountain would not be far away.

Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down. Then, he narrowed his eyes and made a call. After the call was connected, he said, “It’s me. I plan to develop Taoyuan Village as a tourism base. Well, I hope you can support me!”

Developing the Taoyuan Village was not his goal. The Little Cattle King was his ultimate goal.

With his current financial strength and the backward economic situation of Xing Yin County, he did not need an investment partner.

Xing Yin County was very willing to welcome him. After all, his investment would boost their county’s economy. Therefore, Liao Guohui expected no obstacles from Xing Yin County. He would obtain the greatest benefits at the smallest cost.

...

A conference was being held in Xing Yin County.

Lin Fangzhou said excitedly, “It has been confirmed that the Global Tourism Development Company in City Z is planning to develop in Xing Yin County. They have their eyes on the Taoyuan Village.”

When the others heard this news, they were also very excited.

Hong Qing, who was in charge of the economy, was the happiest person. This was because if the development of Taoyuan Village were successful, people from all over the country would come to visit. Xing Yin County would become more famous. The influx of foreign funds would raise the overall economic situation of the county. He could see his promotion already.

Hong Qing said happily, “That’s great! That’s great!”

Qian Guoxin frowned and said, “What is Global Tourism Development Company’s plan?

“How do they plan to relocate the villagers? How will they compensate them? The villagers have settled there for generations. Will they be able to farm their land?

“Or is the company taking their land from them? But, if that’s the case, how will they survive in the future? What is the company’s plan?”

Lin Fangming said, “Guoxin, you have very good questions. However, I’m sure Global Tourism Development Company will have a good plan.”

Hong Qing nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s not your responsibility. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Qian Guoxin said, “County team leader, I know that these matters shouldn’t be my responsibility. However, I’m responsible for our county’s rural construction planning. Therefore, I think we should deal with these questions first.”

Lin Fangzhou thought for a moment and said, “Alright then. I’m sure the people from Global Tourism Development Company will send their proposal over soon. We’ll discuss it then.”

Qian Guoxin did not have any objections.

...

Gong Tianhao frowned slightly after listening to Xiao Zhang’s report.

Then, he instructed Xiao Zhang, “Go and find out if Xiao Chengcai said anything he shouldn’t have.”

Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, “He should have. Otherwise, why would those three give him 30,000 RMB? I reckon that 30,000 is to buy the secret of the Little Cattle King.”

They had lived in Taoyuan Village for a long time, so they knew that the special crops here had a lot to do with the Little Cattle King.

Gong Tianhao snorted coldly and said, “This Xiao Chengcai really hasn’t learned his lesson.”

Xiao Zhang asked, “Eldest young master, this secret has already been leaked. What should we do now?” He was clearly a little anxious.

Xiao Lingyu owned Little Cattle King. The people who knew the secret would come after her to get the Little Cattle King.

Gong Tianhao looked at the anxious Xiao Zhang strangely and said, “Xiao Zhang, do you think that your eldest young master doesn’t have the ability to protect his woman?”

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Then, he said in embarrassment, “Eldest young master, that’s not what I meant.”

Gong Tianhao said disdainfully, “In any case, I don’t care who they are. As long as I am here, they can forget about hurting my woman.” He allowed these people to run rampage for now because he had other plans.

Xiao Zhang asked in puzzlement, “But eldest young master, why aren’t you doing anything now?”

Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Zhang as if he was looking at a fool and said plainly, “Do you think my wife won’t find out if I do anything now?”

“Ah?” Xiao Zhang was puzzled.

Gong Tianhao didn’t want to explain anymore.

Whether it was Xiao Wang or Xiao Zhang, they were both blank-faced idiots. They knew nothing about how to pursue a girl.

Xiao Zhang rubbed his head foolishly. Gong Tianhao raised his hand to look at the time, then stood up and said, “My wife is waking up.”

Xiao Zhang asked, “Young master, when will you marry Miss Xiao into the family and become our Madam?

“Haven’t you seen the way the villagers look at her? They are saying that Miss Xiao is being shameless and fawning over you.”

At this point, Gong Tianhao said fiercely, “They’ll have their faceslaps sooner or later.”

If Xiao Lingyu was willing to marry him now, he could slap those who mocked Xiao Lingyu in secret.

Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement, “That’s right. Slap their faces.”

Gong Tianhao rolled his eyes and left the courtyard to go to the Xiao family.
