Chapter 816: Chapter 482 A Bunch of Idiots Messing Things Up!_3

"Now Big Island already has ready-to-use land; it was originally cultivated by the construction company workers during their idle time for vegetables, but now it’s mostly used to provide for the tourists coming over."

"Over the past two months, some of the supplies on the island have been self-sufficient, mainly seafood and vegetables, but the vast majority are air freighted from domestic sources, and the freight is somewhat high."

"So I was thinking, since there’s so much vacant land on the island now overgrown with grass and shrubbery, why not clear it to grow vegetables, or even food crops."

"We’re not short of fresh water here on the island, and the areas that were previously cleared had lime and such spread on them. Any land we can clear now is naturally fertile, so growing things will definitely not be a problem..."

"Alright then, I’ll recruit people," Sean Knight thought for a moment and said, "Give me a plan detailing how many people you need."

"The more, the better—the island’s tourism project is extremely popular, with thousands coming over by airplane and boat every day, and at peak periods it has already reached tens of thousands. Just think how many supplies we need to consume in one day?

"Now, the supply and service issues are giving me headaches!"

Sean Knight hadn’t realized that the tourism on Big Island had gotten so hot!

However, this could also be considered a happy worry. After all, with so many tourists every day, the benefits generated were no small amount!

But what about farming vegetables and raising pigs—would that also require professional staff?

Sean Knight hadn’t thought that far ahead. Recruitment needed to be targeted to specific positions. If only a small number were needed, then free-range household farming would suffice, as there isn’t a family that hasn’t raised pigs before, not to mention beef cattle and sheep.

But to supply so many people, ordinary free-range scales wouldn’t suffice. And he was thinking not only of pigs but also of sheep and chickens.

This all needed to happen on a larger scale, which meant more construction on the island.

Fortunately, there is a construction team currently working on the island; it’s best to just keep them busy with another project.

It occurred to him that they probably wouldn’t reject such a straightforward project.

As Sean Knight thought this over, he suddenly felt that his Big Island was more and more showing the trend of developing into a small domestic town!

Of course, this was just talk at the moment, recruitment still had to proceed.

But before Sean Knight could go looking for people, they started coming to him.

The phone call came from Joseph Davis.

"Mr. Knight, there’s a businessman here who wants to talk to you. Because we’re on good terms, he came to me."

Joseph Davis explained the situation over the phone so that the conversation would go smoother later on.

"Go ahead, Curator Joseph Davis," Sean Knight was very grateful to Joseph Davis for the significant help he had provided.

"A farmer entrepreneur from Xinjiang, a major breeder named Henry Johnson, specializes in raising beef cattle and mutton sheep. He heard that your island’s tourism is doing well and would like to supply you with beef and mutton. What do you think..."

"What’s the scale like? My island feeds thousands of people every day; a small scale won’t do."

Currently, airplanes are bringing supplies every day, and this certainly comes at a significant cost.

"Definitely not a small scale; he provides meat to several counties."

"Then can he help me build a Breed Farm over there?" Sean Knight asked. "Of course, if the meat is good, I’ll let him supply it, but there’s plenty of space on my side, and I think setting up a breeding farm shouldn’t be problematic."

Air freight is too costly if done daily. Of course, boats would work too, but they’re slow.

Sean Knight knew all these options needed to be pursued, but he still hoped to have his own farm, at least for the sake of freshness.

"Then you guys should talk, I think it would be better for you to meet in person."

"Okay, I’m busy in Capital City right now; tell him to come here," Sean Knight said, not wanting to make another trip.

Somehow, news about Sean Knight and Big Island had leaked, and suddenly, not only livestock breeders but also vegetable farmers, sellers of instant noodles, mineral water, milk, and even express delivery services had found their way to him through their connections.

In everyone’s eyes, that was a blue ocean!

Such a big island with thousands traveling there every day—it was a straight-up business opportunity!

As long as one could get a foot in the door and seize the initiative, wouldn’t the profits flow continuously?

Unlike some places in the Northwest and Northeast, tourism there wasn’t seasonal.

With the Chinese People’s love for lively places, how could they not enjoy flocking there?

Moreover, at present, Online reviews for Big Island are overwhelmingly positive!

After all, the place is large, the environment is pleasant, it’s safe, and seafood is abundant and cheap; it’s less costly, there’s no forced consumption, and there are no traps like overpriced houses or menus.

The main draw is being people-friendly!

Who wouldn’t love such a place?

Rumors say that many people who were planning to travel to some island in The South have now changed their itinerary to Big Island.

Nominally, it’s a trip abroad, but it’s not at all dangerous; you can buy things face-to-face with foreigners, yet you’re surrounded by Chinese People, and the security guards are all veterans.

There are no complicated scams—how wonderful!

That’s so much better than man-made attractions!

Sean Knight was a bit overwhelmed.

But he had come to terms with it, after all, shepherding people was like shepherding sheep; whether it’s one or two, herding sheep is herding sheep. When it came to companies like White Elephant Instant Noodles, he was completely supportive!

Prioritize domestic goods—absolutely!

Even if that famous brand offers more kickbacks, I wouldn’t want them because they’re just too disgusting.

Sitting in the Quadrangle Courtyard, Sean Knight was enjoying the pleasure of home services. He wasn’t poor himself, so when discussing terms, the big picture was usually quite accommodating.

Although the specific items still had to be discussed with Lana Brown, having his preliminary approval meant the rest were just details.

Naturally, this made those who got affirmative responses happy.

And those who were blacklisted were naturally frustrated.

Such a vast emerging market!

Pressure with connections?

Heh.

These things had been giving Lana Brown headaches for a long time, but Sean Knight managed to deal with it all while laughing.

It can only be said that the efficiency in China is truly high, or rather, these producers are just too enthusiastic!

The conditions they offered made Sean Knight feel a bit embarrassed.

Henry Johnson was forthright, not only agreeing to provide beef and mutton through a cold chain but also promising to help Sean Knight build a cattle farm and train technicians.

"Initially we sent over ten tons of meat, all cold-shipped to Ocean City, even during the epidemic, but I’m not sure what happened to that meat in the end..."

Hearing that Sean Knight was heading to Ocean City, Henry Johnson made a comment.

Sean Knight remembered the internet stories from that time and said nothing.

It’s really hard to tell.

Fortunately, those things are in the past now, and Kyle Mitchell is almost ready, so he had to leave.

I, Old Guan... no, I, Sean Knight, am back in the game!
