Text Chapter 676: The Real Situation of the Truffle Plantation

"Jesse Zhou, you can call me the boss, the head, or Jesse. I don't have any opinions. It's nice to meet you. Regarding your previous work situation, your former boss made a statement on a document he gave me. Statement, I gave a high evaluation of your work ability and work attitude."

The two felt much more relieved, at least it seemed that their first impression of Zhou Jiexi was good.

"I have to say that his statement did have some influence on me. So I keep you guys. However, I hope you won't let me down. In the case of personal emotions and my interests, I will Choose the latter." Zhou Jiexi felt that he should speak clearly first.

American culture, if you can do it, you can go up, if you can't, then you can go down. Zhou Jiexi also recognized this point very much. Of course, when the gap is not too big, he will still choose someone who is closer to him to do things. He is not a traditional American, we Chinese people still care about people.

"You can rest assured that the boss, we have more than 20 years of work experience, here, we can be said to be the best." Tom is very confident, Zhou Jiexi likes such employees.

"That's the best. You are still responsible for the original things. I will appoint new people to come in for the farm's finances. I will be the farm manager for the time being." He said and looked outside. "As for the employees outside, just take advantage of this opportunity. , Get rid of some incompetent and lazy people, I believe you will handle it well?"

The two looked at each other, and there really was someone who met Zhou Jiexi's requirements, which was hard to say before. Now they have a new boss, and they seem to be doing things resolutely, so that kind of people really need to be eliminated.

"Okay boss, we will do this well." The two nodded.

Zhou Jiexi nodded in satisfaction, "Then you can discuss it with Harvey, and then get a new contract from him and sign with those employees. The new salary structure will follow what I just said. As for the salary, it will start from this month. It can be regarded as a little benefit for my new master!"

Zhou Jiexi dismissed some of his subordinates, and Harvey and David began to work formally. On the contrary, he doesn't need to do anything. After the day has stabilized, it's time for him to play.

Now it is better to let others do some villainous things. He still looks at the farm information to make plans.

"Meizi, show me the information on truffles compiled by Tom." Zhou Jiexi sat down, took a sip of coffee and said.

I took the folder handed over by the Japanese girl, opened it and looked at it carefully. After coming over for a while, he let out a long sigh of relief. On the overall scale, Zhou Jiexi finally felt relieved. At first, it was hard to find out how many truffles there were, for fear that people would know his purpose.

Well now, the dust has settled and things are settled. I have no regrets, even if I come back immediately, Jiexi Zhou will not give them a chance, I really thought it was a TV series, he was moved after saying a few words, and then changed the contract back, he would not do it That kind of stupid thing.

According to the data, Jenny's Farm has a total of 34,000 acres of land, of which the forest land is about 20,000 acres in total, and there are 5,000 acres of plantation land.

Most of the rest is land with no economic value, including hills, swamps, sandy land, non-nutritive planting land, and some worthless woods. Although it is a bit wasteful, the original farmer has no funds to repair them.

According to Zhou Jiexi's idea, in the future, these lands can be used to plant some plants or fruit trees with low economic value but easy to grow. It can't be wasted there, that would be a pity. With the vitality of the earth and the water in space, everything is possible.

There are two lakes on the farm, one in the plantation area and the other in the non-economic area. However, they are all connected with artificial rivers and pipelines to ensure farm water resources.

There are also some small lakes scattered here and there, most of which are one acre or a few acres of land. Some are artificially excavated, and some are already there.

The only good thing is that this farm has sufficient water rights, so there is no need to worry too much about water issues. If the farmer is not eager to sell, there may be many competitors. However, he paid in cash, which is also the reason why the transaction can be completed quickly.

Truffles, which he is most concerned about, occupy a large area, and almost all of them have been planted in the forest. This is true, but 16,000 of those acres were the first to be tested, and there were no truffles at all.

The original farmer just arranged the truffle fungus inside, in fact, he took a stick at the beginning. That is, the inside is hollow, put some truffle fungus, take that to the root soil under the tree and insert it, and put the fungus in.

If you are happy, you can plug in a few more times, if you want to plug in quickly. Anyway, the farmer at the beginning of the meeting was originally thinking of having fun. For more than a year, when the farmer and the forestry staff went to inspect, they just did it and then arranged the area.

That kind of action is like a joke at all, but it is precisely because of this that the farmer is obsessed with truffle cultivation. Now that area has long been used to sell trees, which is one of the most stable main incomes of the farm.

The later 4,000 acres is the most important, which is divided into thousands of areas, which is also their achievement in more than ten years. Start experimental planting from the first one or two acres, including the selection of foundation soil, selection of saplings, and division of areas to start trial planting.

Different base soils are matched with the same trees, and some kind of mineral water is matched. An experimental field of one to two acres, one to two acres. Thousands of solutions have been tested for more than ten years. The details include the mineral composition of the base soil, the impact of different tree species, and the mineral composition of the water source.

And every sapling suitable for truffles, and various subspecies have been experimentally planted. Seven years ago, one of the fields did have qualified truffles, which drove the farmers crazy.

Who knew that it was just an accidental product. Frankly speaking, the black truffles planted, calculated according to Italy and France, are really low-end and cannot be lowered. In comparison, they may not be as good as those cultivated and processed by the Chinese government in the next few years. Woolen cloth.

It is not even as good as the Oregon white truffle in the Northwest of the United States. The taste is too light and a bit too brittle, not to mention the nutritional value is also a bit unsatisfactory.

However, at the truffle exhibition that year, the farmers still got the limelight. After all, it is a truffle cultivated in the United States, and the American media has praised it a lot.

His mind also expanded, and he planted dozens of acres in a row according to the plan of this experimental field. That meeting is really rich, and it can be made vigorously. Isn't it just dozens of acres, and the saplings are all his own. At most, the labor costs of a few people and the money to buy minerals with some foundation soil are trivial.

What's more, even if it doesn't work in the future, it can be used as a forest planting, and it's okay to sell trees in the future! The more he thought about it, the more money he had, and later he added another 100 acres of land for planting.

During the period, he also turned away venture capitalists' funds. He knew that after the second year, he could get more money with the truffles he grew. So the next year he was stupid, and the investors were lucky not to.

In other woodlands with truffles based on the formula ratio on that piece of land, the truffles produced in the second year were not up to standard at all. This made him stupid for a while, but he thought it might be because the truffles in the woodland hadn't adapted to it.

He didn't believe in evil, and came again and again. I am afraid that the truffles made according to other recipes are a bit late in the change. So he started to plant heart trees one after another.

There will be several recipes from that successful land, but with slight changes in each. He believes that before he succeeds, he has to experience all kinds of failures. As long as he doesn't give up, there will be a day of success. Over the years, there are actually 4,000 acres of land.

He sometimes wondered if that was the case with Edison, and he has always encouraged himself like this, but one thing he obviously didn't think about was that Edison didn't have a wife and children at that time.

Of course he wants to play as he wants, but you have a wife and children, who would let him keep playing like this!

Until the last few hopes last year and this year, I didn't get a satisfactory truffle. After collecting the truffles last November, he basically gave up hope. Coupled with the double pressure from his wife and the bank, it finally went to the point of selling the farm.

On this point, Zhou Jiexi felt that this middle-aged man with dreams was quite pitiful. In fact, he really did a good deed. He rescued this man who was impossible to succeed, and saved him from the fate of bankruptcy.

If Zhou Jiexi hadn't been so courageous, he would have just spent money to get things done. If you put it on other people, maybe you still have to worry about it endlessly, but you won't sell it when you get angry, so just wait for him to go bankrupt.

Zhou Jiexi, who didn't know it, also found that he had done a good thing. He is really a promising young man, and he secretly praised himself a lot, and praised him a few times.

Well, the truffles on the farm have already been figured out, a total of 4,000 acres, which is needless to say. However, these 4,000 acres are subdivided into 1,333 fast planting test plots, and the degree of dataization in them is already giving him a headache.

It's really a bit uncomfortable to follow up and look at those test reports in the laboratory. It's just that it's in the laboratory, it's business, and with the help of the goblins, it's okay.

This will see now, think about it or open the plug-in. Pass the content to the goblins, and after detailed analysis, the simple data is passed to him. Zhou Jiexi looked at the simple file in his mind, and felt much more comfortable now.

To put it simply, this document has the largest number of experimental fields in recent years, about 600 acres. Among them are seven and eight-year-old trees, mostly oaks and lindens. It is also the land where truffles will be produced in the last two years, and it is the experimental land for the original farmer's later experiments.
