Chapter 1062
Married at First Sight
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.
âElisa, what did you say you wanted to invest in?â
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.
âAll the industries are saturated now, so itâs 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.â
Serenity nodded. âMany of them are abandoned. The young people leave the village to work, so only
the elderly and children are left at home. However, they canât do any work, so the fields end up that
wayâ
Her familyâs 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.
âI 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 donât have to manage it ourselves. Weâll hire someone to take
care of it instead. Iâm afraid your relatives will sabotage the fields if we show up
âIf we succeed in planting them, we wonât have to worry about the market. Villa areas and urban
greening need grass, which is what weâll be planting specifically. We can also plant vegetables and
fruits.
âStone 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. Weâre not trying
to earn. money from our own families.
âSchool 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 weâll 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.â
Serenity laughed. âIâm from the countryside, but I never thought of using the fields in the village to make
money. Youâre 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 canât earn much money â
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, Iâve made some calculations and think that this investment is profitable. We wonât go
that far Weâll just plant grass, fruits, and vegetables on the fields we contract in Wiltspoonâs
countryside. so weâll save a little on transportation costs. We wonât profit much if we ship between
borders due to the larger costs
I donât think itâs necessary to worry about marketing as long as our quality is good. If you think the
prospects are good, we can start working. Iâll draft a plan and calculate the cost of the various aspects
we need to invest in. Iâll ask Cliveâs secretary to handle the issue of renting the fields since no one in
your hometown knows him.â
Serenity said, âGo to the village chief. He will consult the opinions of the villagers and then sign the
contract.â
Elisa nodded.
Liberty interjected, âMy breakfast diner also needs fruits and vegetables every day. If you guys
succeed, Iâll sign a long-term partnership with you.â
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. âThank you for your support, Liberty, but I prefer to earn other peopleâs money. Earning
money from oneâs own family is only something a person would do when theyâre at the end of their
rope.â
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.
