Chapter 333: 332 Acquisition Controversy_1

A month later, Gu Chen, who was at home playing with his daughter, received a phone call.

It turned out that the wheat and corn he had planted on the land he had contracted in the village had all matured.

Tian Laosì had already finished harvesting with the villagers and was waiting for him to personally inspect the yield.

On hearing this, Gu Chen’s spirits immediately lifted.

He had always had high hopes for these crops, what with the seeds from the system and the Spirit Spring Water.

They were impressive on their own.

He had also conducted quite a few experiments on them, and now it was finally time to harvest the grains.

Then he checked the time and found that the harvest was even earlier than he had expected.

It seemed that even the diluted Spirit Spring Water had an incredibly potent effect.

With that thought, Gu Chen called Zhao Chunfa.

This fellow hadn’t been idle lately, running around various agricultural product fairs all the time.

He had extensive connections and was also quite familiar with the prices, so having him bring people to purchase the crops would be a sure bet.

After arranging all of these matters, Gu Chen finally greeted Ji Pianran, who was busy designing new clothes.

He then got into his Santana and returned to the village.

First, he went back to the fields for a look and indeed found that the swathes of wheat and corn

had already been threshed and were now piled into small mounds on the rice field.

As soon as the villagers saw Gu Chen’s car come to a stop, the village chief and a crowd of villagers could hardly contain their excitement.

They all flocked to Gu Chen’s side, incessantly talking about the shock and wonder they had witnessed.

After all, the land in the village was all the same, and even if there were differences, they weren’t too significant.

But the grain from Gu Chen’s land not only had plump kernels, but the yield was also astonishingly high.

They couldn’t help but secretly estimate the yield while they were working.

And the results they came up with were nothing short of shocking.

Just the corn yield alone reached over five thousand catties per mu.

In their view, it was a scene they wouldn’t dare to dream of.

And now it was truly appearing before their very eyes.

This made the old farmers in the village who had tilled the land for half their lives feel as if they had lived in vain all these years.

The most crucial thing was, they had never seen Tian Laosì apply any fertilizer to these fields.

Logically, it should have been impossible for the yield to be so high.

What was even more unbelievable was that they themselves had tasted some of the corn from Gu Chen’s fields.

The deliciousness was something they found hard to forget even now, which only made them more curious.

Each one of them wanted to know what kind of magic Gu Chen had performed on the land to grow such tasty crops.

"Well, it’s not that easy to explain. Just think of it as if I have a kind of exclusive secret recipe similar to fertilizer,

but the effects are a little stronger. If the villagers are also interested, I can sell some to you all in the future,"

Gu Chen vaguely explained, as the secret of the Spirit Spring Water naturally couldn’t be disclosed.

However, he really did plan to distribute some under the guise of nutrient solution to the villagers.

After all, he had grown up here from a young age, and if one really got down to it,

he had some relation or acquaintance with everyone in the village. Plus, his parents and older brother were here; this village was his root.

If he had the chance to help the villagers get rich together, Gu Chen was naturally not going to be stingy.

Moreover, he owned seventy percent of the village’s land now, and even if the villagers planted a lot,

It couldn’t possibly have any impact on his business.

However, at this moment, his heart was indeed quite shocked; after all, this era was not like the future.

Elder Yuan’s hybrid rice that could yield ten thousand catties per mu was already a godly feat.

Although the effects of Spirit Spring Water were a bit lower, yielding only five thousand catties, it was still an unimaginable achievement at that time.

Moreover, after being irrigated with Spirit Spring Water, the plants that grew had a richer taste and a shorter growth cycle.

In that sense, one could say that each had its own merits.

Before long, Zhao Chunfa arrived with people to purchase grain, driving several large trucks, and came to the village in a grand procession.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties,

dressed in a blue short-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray shorts.

His face had sharp and well-defined features, giving off a very dependable appearance.

The man pushed open the car door and jumped directly down from the driver’s seat of the truck.

Afterwards, he couldn’t help looking around, his eyes filled with shock.

Then he grabbed Boss Gu’s hand and started to shake it vigorously up and down.

"Oh my dear mother, you must be Boss Gu.

Old Zhao kept dragging me over here, and I thought he was fooling me.

Not until I saw it with my own eyes did I realize that my past experiences were too limited.

With three or four months left until the autumn harvest, you’ve already finished reaping; could it have been grown in greenhouses previously?"

To this, Boss Gu just smiled, neither confirming nor denying, his expression enigmatic.

Seeing this made the man feel that Boss Gu was indeed profoundly mysterious, and he subconsciously spoke with much more respect.

"Let’s not talk about other things now, you must be Boss Hu.

All the grain is here; you can thoroughly inspect the quality, and if there’s no issue, we can weigh it and load it up right away."

The man nodded and stepped forward, directly picking up an ear of corn and peeling off a few kernels to taste.

However, in the next second, his eyes brightened instantly, and the shock in his heart deepened.

"Oh my heavens, so much corn and wheat, and it’s all top-notch."

After saying this, he made some calculations in his mind, then spoke to Boss Gu.

"Boss Gu, for these grains of yours, I can guarantee you right now that the purchase price won’t be less than one hundred and thirty thousand."

But no sooner had the words left his mouth, before Boss Gu could respond, a sneering voice came from behind.

"Hold on there~ Boss Hu, don’t just focus on his goods, why not take a look at mine as well?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw a man in a high-end suit standing there, full of arrogance, looking down at the others present.

His gaze seemed condescending as he sized them up and down.

When Boss Gu saw the man’s face, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, as he felt the man looked somewhat familiar.

It seemed... he bore a striking resemblance to his father-in-law, Ji Guangsheng.

With this thought, a spark of realization flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t help but blurt out.

"Could you be Ji Changming?"

Seeing that Boss Gu recognized him right away, Ji Changming was somewhat surprised.

Then a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That’s right, it’s me. Kid, you have a good eye.

But what a pity, you’re just a poor wretch from a village. Let me tell you something today, as long as I’m here,

don’t even dream of selling any of your stuff."
