"Even close brothers need to settle accounts clearly, especially now that your business is growing bigger. If we could get some of the goods in advance, we could seize the market earlier." Luo Yi was still very happy, although the lettuce was not yet fully mature, Qi Ping had still taken out some nearly mature lettuce, which was already great.
"I am also very happy. I can make money now. This is the first money I have earned since coming to America, and I am very happy now." Qi Ping patted the roll of green American dollars in his hand. A thousand dollars in income was quite good, and it was not a small amount.
"By the way, our market is slowly opening up. I am currently working on the Los Angeles market, generally targeting high-end routes, such as high-end restaurants or supermarkets. We are also gradually expanding to other states; don't be blinded by money, as it will not be good for our future development." Luo Yi reminded him, as the feedback received so far was very positive.
"I understand this. I am also waiting for you to deliver this payment, and then I want to buy a better car. I plan to live a truly rich life, at least to have a slightly nicer car." Qi Ping laughed, the first shipment was only a few thousand pounds, but this batch of goods was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and Qi Ping knew he was about to start making big money.
"What kind of car are you planning to buy? I think you can consider it now. You should still have some money, and we will soon be collecting the payment for this batch of goods. We will soon start large-scale shipments, and the money in your hands will naturally increase." Luo Yi felt that Qi Ping could indeed consider buying a new car, which was the right thing to do.
America is known as a country on wheels, where almost every adult has a car. Having a slightly better car is a very normal thing. Clearly, if the economic conditions allow, one can buy a good car; cars are one of the things men like the most.
"Sports cars might be a bit exaggerated and not practical right now. I prefer larger, more powerful cars, like Hummers, Land Rovers, or Grand Cherokees. I really like them." Qi Ping had indeed been considering it; he could completely change to a new car. Although pickup trucks are very common in America, Qi Ping felt that they were not always suitable for going out to play.
"Actually, some sports cars are not that expensive. Porsche Macan and Mercedes-Benz SLK series start at around $50,000. There are many relatively cheap sports cars. Sports cars can also be driven into your forest farm, and they are much cooler than those off-road vehicles. How impressive." Luo Yi did not entirely agree, thinking that if the conditions were right, he should go for a sports car.
"Everyone has different tastes. I still prefer off-road vehicles. I will consider a sports car when the conditions are right. I plan to get an off-road vehicle, which is much more exciting. Men, power!" Qi Ping laughed, sports cars were indeed cool and something he had always dreamed of; but now, he felt that an off-road vehicle was more to his liking.
Now, getting an off-road vehicle first does not mean that Qi Ping does not like sports cars. Even though he would soon be making some money, it does not mean he could afford a good sports car. Indeed, buying a car in America is relatively cheaper, as the tariffs in the domestic market are very high, making some sports cars almost double in price.
However, Qi Ping felt that if he bought a sports car, it would definitely be an outstanding one. So now, an off-road vehicle is better. It fits his current situation and his aesthetic preferences. As for supercars, he would consider them later, when he had more money.
Now, everything is good news for Qi Ping. The products from his forest farm are starting to hit the market in small quantities. The quality inspection is not a problem, and Qi Ping feels this is a good start. The feedback he has received is very reassuring. Although the high-quality products may be slightly more expensive, they are still favored by consumers, even if only a small number of them.
"Hey, Qi." Seeing Qi Ping wandering around with King Kong and the four directions, the old man with the white beard, Bruce, shouted loudly, "Come over here, I want to show you my research results, which might be very helpful for your forest farm's future development."
Qi Ping ran over eagerly. Bruce was a big shot, a big shot from MIT, known for his expertise in natural sciences. Natural sciences involve the study of various types, states, properties, and movements of natural substances, which is a very broad field. Therefore, the forest farm is worth studying, and this expert is now stationed here.
"Wow, King Kong is much cuter than you. I like this polite little guy, except that he always wants to give me the fruits he has eaten." Bruce laughed, pushing away the rather shabby apple King Kong offered. He was now very familiar with everyone in the forest farm, including Qi Ping's pets. "What you lack most is politeness. You should show respect to an expert who can help you a lot."
"Guy, I have provided a lot of help for your research. I have provided water, electricity, and internet, and I have never charged any fees, including for the venue." Qi Ping was not being polite; he and Bruce got along well. As for Bruce, he did not have the quirks of other scientists.
"Qi, you are constantly exploiting me. I have done a lot for the planning and development of your forest farm. I can confidently say that the vegetables growing so well are due to the advice I provided, which is a significant contribution. Many large farm owners and agricultural companies would have to pay a large sum to invite me." Bruce looked down on Qi Ping, a typical example of someone who takes advantage of others.
Qi Ping laughed smugly. He felt that this was the result of his careful planning, the best proof of maximizing benefits. He had provided a lot of help to Bruce's research team, which meant that Bruce needed to create some necessary value for the forest farm, a very important matter.
"The environment of the forest farm is very good, divided into two areas. One is your residence, and the other is this vegetable field. Of course, we have noticed that the environment in other areas looks good but is quite ordinary. We need to emphasize that the environment in this vegetable field is generally quite excellent. However, do you understand what I mean? Some areas seem to have an even better environment, a very small part, right at the center of the vegetable field." Bruce held his research materials and began to explain to Qi Ping.
"The areas with excellent environments seem to be represented by patterns, which is quite incredible. It seems to be the result of human control. Someone has drawn a pattern here, making only this area better. This is such an incredible thing, something only God could do." Bruce was excited, holding his recent research results, which looked so incredible and seemed too crazy.
Qi Ping opened his mouth wide. These scientists seemed to have some real skills, using high technology to discover some rare things. However, Qi Ping did not care; he did not think they could discover more, such as the magical existence of formations.
"What are your research results? For example, making the environment of my forest farm better." Qi Ping felt that if Bruce was a bit more capable or could find some ways to fool people, it would be very satisfying for the future comprehensive development of the forest farm or to have a good environment wherever Qi Ping was.
"I think this needs further research, but I can definitely say it will be very valuable." Bruce shrugged, feeling that this was great. This is a valuable scientific research project, and he is looking forward to its future development.
