Chapter 60

Qiping knew that although the forest farm was already quite good, it could still become even better. This was the reason he had been continuously investing more during this period. This wasn't a one-time deal; the operation of the forest farm was far from being completed just by buying the land.

Although sometimes he did feel a bit heartache over the money, compared to the money, Qiping valued the long-term development more. This was what he cared about the most. These past few days, Qiping had been thinking about these matters; there was still a lot he needed to do, and the forest farm indeed required his continuous attention.

"You're like this now, keeping the bananas for yourself or giving one to those you're a bit closer to." Watching Jingang eat a banana again, Qiping knew this little guy's nature. Bananas were definitely Jingang's favorite. Even though Jingang often enthusiastically gave out fruits, it was clear how much he valued bananas.

If someone was Jingang's favorite, he would basically give them a banana. This was called sharing good things together. Bananas were undoubtedly the most delicious thing in Jingang's eyes, and getting a banana from Jingang was definitely not an easy task. As for apples, pears, and other fruits, although Jingang liked them, they were his second choice after bananas.

Qiping felt a bit of pressure. Looking at Jingang, who was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, he had really picked up some bad habits. Seeing Jingang's carefree attitude, it was indeed stressful. Originally, such a simple and cute little guy, but now he had learned quite a few bad habits from Qiping.

Actually, it wasn't just Jingang; Liangshanbo, Heitan, and the others had also encountered an unsuitable owner. To some extent, it was because of Qiping's habits that these little guys had been led astray. This was a normal and somewhat helpless situation; there was nothing to be done about it, and he had to accept it.

But it was also good this way. Although the little guys had some small bad habits, Qiping didn't really think it was a bad thing. Clearly, this made them more adorable. Qiping found them very cute, and he liked these little rascals who were so real and sometimes made him laugh and cry.

While reviewing the data, Qiping hoped his forest farm would get better and better. Professor Bruce was indeed capable, even though he often asked for a lot of money and equipment. But he was indeed competent, and Qiping felt a bit more at ease, knowing that the money wasn't wasted. This was the most worthwhile thing.

Regarding the pest problem, there was now some good progress. After the traditional methods of manual capture and physical black light traps, the research institute also provided some reference suggestions.

Narrowly defined, pesticides are chemical pesticides, which of course cannot be used. However, in a broad sense, pesticides are not just organic synthetic compounds. Using a moderate amount of pesticides derived from biological or natural plants is also acceptable.

Qiping was now recommended to use a fungal preparation like Beauveria bassiana and some insect-repelling plants. These were tailored for the forest farm, and it was clear that these research results might be quite good. Qiping felt they could be tried. After all, those little bugs could potentially cause a disaster at any time, and Qiping couldn't afford to delay.

Qiping wasn't stingy with the money that needed to be spent; he had indeed spent a lot. He didn't skimp on the equipment that needed to be added. This was good; as a boss, Qiping was quite qualified. Qiping wasn't stingy, even though he had many ideas. For the long-term development of the forest farm, those ideas could be temporarily set aside.

As for biogas ponds, Qiping now also felt they were important. Not only for fertilizers, but the forest farm indeed needed a biogas pond. Making some green fertilizers was a small matter now, and the chicken farm's scale was small, so it could make do for now. But in the coming period, the forest farm would develop better, and he couldn't be stingy. The necessary preparations needed to be made.

Qiping planned to build a large, modern biogas pond all at once. This was very important for him. Spending more money now was fine to avoid taking detours in the future. So, he was willing to spend the money. As for his current life, it wasn't tight at all; Qiping felt he was living quite comfortably.

"I'm not short of money, I'm not short of money." Looking at the income over this period, then the upcoming investments, and finally the remaining money in the account, Qiping kept comforting himself, "There's still ten thousand dollars, which is already quite good. I didn't even have ten thousand RMB before, so I should be content now."

"Ten thousand dollars can actually do a lot. At most, I'll be a bit tight for a month, but then I can buy the helicopter back, and I shouldn't have to worry about spending too much money then." Qiping was calculating. Now, he had added a lot of equipment. As for the future, the main expenses for the forest farm would probably be jade.

Actually, Qiping was also calculating. He really didn't have many places to spend money. He wasn't a playboy or a rich second generation. Qiping wasn't particularly enthusiastic about luxury goods. So, he didn't really care about these things. Living comfortably with some money in hand was enough.

Contentment brings happiness. Qiping felt his mindset was really good. Life was already incredibly beautiful, and he believed it would become even better. Even if the expenses seemed a bit high and slightly different from his imagined life of a tycoon, it was still great, and he could勉强算得上是一个壕了。

看起来很清闲，只是看看资料、报表、账单之类的，这还是需要花点时间的；再加上早上起来后还需要做点家务和去菜园里做点事情，其实一天的时间也很快就会过去的。看起来有点浑浑噩噩混日子，但这确实是一种悠闲而惬意的生活。

Qiping算不上是一个有雄心壮志的人，现在安稳地享受自己的小日子，对他来说就是最美好的事情。至于做出一番惊天动地的大事业，Qiping觉得现在还不现实；那不是属于他的生活，他更喜欢在家里懒洋洋的。

反正现在也不缺钱，所以完全不需要担心什么；好好吃喝玩乐，这就是Qiping现在的追求。然后稍微去做一些有趣的事情，这样就会让Qiping的生活无比美好。反正Qiping现在也发现了很多有趣的事情，他觉得自己接下来的生活肯定会越来越有趣。

有钱有有钱的玩法，稍微缺点钱，其实也有很不错的玩法；Qiping觉得自己现在根本不需要担心那些，他的生活肯定不缺少好玩的有趣的事情。实际上，他现在接触的这些朋友圈子虽然不大，但里面还是有一些很会玩的人，Qiping知道自己接下来肯定会玩得很开心。

“马上有一个打猎的计划，还有一个公路旅行的计划，我的小日子肯定是滋润得很。”嘿嘿地笑了起来，接下来的两个有趣的活动项目，确实会很有趣，“现在的生活确实太颓废了，应该振作一点多做点事情，这样才算是一个大有为青年嘛。”

虽然嘴上这么说，但Qiping懒洋洋地躺在沙发上；大有为青年很好，但这需要强烈的事业心和进取心，暂时Qiping看起来是腐化堕落了，那些事情对他来说太有挑战性了。所以现在，不缺少一个事业家，多一个败家子其实也有助于社会的发展；尤其是这种看起来高端的‘败家子’，还是很值得在这个道路上一直进步和发展的。
