Chapter 665: Total Assets

“Great-grandfather, look, this is the vegetable field that mother contracted!” After Old Master Gong returned, Xiao Letong had been playing around with his great-grandfather all day.

Because of the company of his great-grandson, Old Master Gong was exceptionally happy every day.

This made the Xiao family and Xiao Lingyu secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Tong Tong finally stopped organizing the event to find a new husband for his mother.

Taoyuan Village was now a tourist destination. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, who had left with Old Master Gong, were shocked when they saw the transformation. Even during the weekdays, the place was packed with visitors.

The theme of Taoyuan Village Tourist Farm was to bring the visitors close to nature. In order to make the place more unique, Xiao Lingyu had also added various original features.

However, the thing that made Taoyuan Village most famous was the things that came from Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarkets had blossomed all over the country. The things sold there were known as luxury goods because they were extremely expensive. They were divided into different grades.

Take the cheapest cabbage as an example. The cheapest cabbage was ten RMB per catty. One cabbage was around three to four catty.In other words, it cost thirty to forty RMB to buy one cabbage.

Medium grade cabbage was twenty yuan per catty.

Then, the best cabbage was fifty yuan per catty.

Ordinary people might not even be able to afford a single cabbage.

Of course, there were still many rich people in big cities.

Moreover, there were only one or two supermarkets in each city, and the daily maximum sales volume was not that much. In the big cities, the daily sales volume was only around 20,000 to 30,000 catties.

This figure might seem like a lot, but that was the total amount. There were so many different crops on sale. One type of crop would sell for only a few hundred catties. That was not a high amount to sell, especially since they were already famous. Peanut oil should be the supermarkets’ most popular product. One catty of peanut oil was 200 RMB, but the supermarkets had a limited stock of 100 catties per day for the normal cities and 120 catties per day for the big cities. The food cooked with peanut oil was really delicious.

Moreover, this peanut oil could be used sparingly, which was more cost-effective than buying vegetables. Some ordinary people might not be willing to buy vegetables, but they were willing to spend 200 RMB on oil. This oil could be used to cook vegetables or directly mixed with rice to eat. Therefore, stuff at the supermarkets sold very well.

Even though they went the high-end route, and their target market was the rich and noble, were they going to chase out ordinary customers? Of course not.

The rice grains watered with the spring water tasted very well. When made into porridge, it was the perfect food for babies and elders. Thankfully, the grains were not that expensive.

Similarly, the pricing was different according to their qualities.

Third-grade rice only cost eight RMB per catty, while the highest-grade rice cost 28 RMB per catty.

Also, in the past two years, the third floor was finally open. The third floor was used to sell the fruits produced at Taoyuan Village. They were also divided into quality, third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade.

Back then, Xiao Lingyu had planted dozens of fruit trees. Starting from the second year, they could be picked and then sold at the supermarkets.

Different from the farming crops, the fruits could be sold wholesale to some partners. Of course, Xiao Lingyu was very careful in choosing her partners. This was to prevent malicious people from tarnishing the Taoyuan Village brand.

With the rise of e-shopping, the Taoyuan Village brand also registered an official website. Their stuff was only sold on the official website. The price was the same as the supermarket, and there was also a limit on the quantity.

In short, the Taoyuan Village brand was becoming bigger and bigger. Xiao Lingyu and the brand public relations department grasped the direction very well. Their brand was a sign of good quality. For now, there hadn’t been any accidents in terms of brand reputation.

One of the reasons was the taste of the Taoyuan Village products couldn’t be faked by others. Furthermore, there were rumors that the crops of Taoyuan Village could help strengthen one’s body. It could alleviate pain from arthritis, bone pain, and so on. What kind of business people could imitate crops with such miraculous properties?

One of the biggest reasons behind Xiao Lingyu’s quick expansion was that she had plenty of supply.

In the past two years, the villagers of Taoyuan Village had also discovered that Xiao Lingyu’s crops were better than theirs even though they were also grown using Little Cattle King’s excrement.

Thanks to the development of Taoyuan Village, almost every household had its own small businesses. They didn’t have time to take care of their fields anymore. Therefore, the vast majority of the villagers had contracted most of the fields to Xiao Lingyu. It was better for them to take the rent and dividends every year.

Some of the fields were planted with the crops according to Xiao Lingyu’s request, making the village look more beautiful. The things planted there could be sold directly to the tourists, but they were not allowed to cheat the customers.

Every household received a considerable amount of income. A family’s yearly income was at least fifty to sixty thousand. That was before the dividends and rentals.

In conclusion, two-thirds of the farmland in Taoyuan Village now belonged to Xiao Lingyu. She was definitely a landlord.

Xiao Lingyu also opened a lot of agricultural product processing companies.

Supermarkets, vegetable fields, orchards, and processing companies formed the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group.

Some people estimated that the total assets of the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group had reached more than five to six billion. Just the income from the Taoyuan Village’s rural tourism alone had reached more than three billion in a year.

However, the real source of income for the Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Group was the agricultural products they sold.

Someone calculated that the supermarket’s sales for a month had reached 18 million. In a year, it would reach 200 million or more.

This was only the annual income of one supermarket. There were a total of 32 supermarkets in the country. In one year, the estimated value was more than 6 billion yuan.

In the past, who would have thought that a vegetable seller could earn several billion a year?

Some people thought it was an exaggeration, but it was the truth.

Of course, not everyone could sell vegetables for sky-high prices.

In the past two years, it wasn’t that no one coveted Green Fresh Group. However, these people had mysterious mishaps, causing them to have to forfeit their plans.

There were also some who tried to use the government to directly seize Taoyuan Village. This was even more improbable. Once Old Master Gong heard about this, he summoned Gong Yinxiong back to the country to protect Xiao Lingyu.

With Gong Yinxiong by Xiao Lingyu’s side, he wanted to see who could take away Xiao Lingyu’s things through government channels.

Of course, Xiao Lingyu didn’t know about all of this.

Xiao Letong was the reason why those people who wanted to take over Taoyuan Village had minor mishaps. He didn’t kill them but made them break a bone or two.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyu and Taoyuan Village were safe for these two years.
