Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Buying Land and Building a Factory _1 Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Buying Land and Building a Factory _1 “Dad, you should drop all the business related to the soy products! Don’t process them for wholesale anymore. Concentrate on starting up the food factory. If it’s too much for you to handle, ask Uncle for help, and pay him a salary.”

Nan Fei’s words shocked Jiang Dechun, leaving him stunned for a while, “My girl, are you really willing to ask your Uncle for help?” His older brother had been wasting his life away in drunkenness, which he could no longer bear to watch. But knowing that the whole family disliked the eldest, he had kept it to himself.

Nan Fei blinked her eyes, looking blankly at everyone, “Why wouldn’t I agree? We have to hire someone anyway. Hiring Uncle could make Grandma happier.” She didn’t quite like Uncle, but for her grandma and dad, she could give him a chance.

“Great! That’s terrific.” Jiang Dechun, filled with excitement, rubbed his hands, wishing he could tell his elder brother right away.

“What’s the main difficulty in setting up the factory now?”

“It’s primarily about acquiring the land and building the factory. The approval process is quite complicated, and we still have to wait for the news. We can’t proceed with anything else until the factory buildings are complete.”

Qi Li Town was a famously impoverished town, ridiculously poor. The land price might be cheap, but no one was willing to invest here. After Jiang Dechun shared his idea with the local government, he was personally received by the town’s mayor.

The town had very favorable policies to encourage farmers to start their businesses.

Initially, the negotiations went smoothly, but the township government still needed to submit an approval report to the higher authorities. The formal contract signing could only proceed after receiving the official notice.

Jiang Dechun was now filled with enthusiasm to start his business. He’d been eyeing a three-acre plot for the factory. The plot was conveniently located by the highway to the north of Qi Li Town, an indispensable route to the county town, and offered good transportation.

“Is the approval process that complicated?” Nan Fei started thinking quickly, “That’s not right! If the policies were so supportive, they wouldn’t be obstructive.”

Jiang Dechun felt embarrassed to say: “The mayor says I am buying too little land – just three acres. That’s why the county is unwilling to approve.”

“Pff…” Nan Fei almost spat out the water she just drank, “Dad, you plan to start a factory on just three acres of land? It’s already quite something that the mayor helped you with the application. What can you do with only three acres?”

Zhuanzhuan also quietly added: “With three acres of land, even if we work our asses off for three generations, we won’t be the rich second generation. The so-called food factory would be better described as a family workshop.”

Their words were blatant and unsparing, falling just short of outright telling their father he would never be the rich first generation.

Grinding his teeth, Jiang Dechun finally said: “Well… if it really comes to that, how about thirty acres?” This seemed enormously vast to him and the thought was terrifying.

“That’s way too much! No, no!” Zhang Fengmei waved her hands in fear, “We can’t aim to become fat in one gulp. We need to take one step at a time.”

“What about… fifteen acres?” Jiang Dechun looked expectantly at his elder daughter.

Even Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang turned to look at Nan Fei.

“What do you think of us buying fifteen acres?” Jiang Dechun, holding his patience, asked: “For a food processing workshop, fifteen acres is already more than enough.”

Nan Fei’s mind was racing; she had had a plan for how much land to buy for some time now.

“Dad, let me handle this.”

Her goal was definitely not confined to thirty acres. Besides, now that they had the necessary funds they should seize the opportunity to buy as much as possible to pre-empt any future regrets. Also, a small plot would constrain their future development.

She didn’t want her parents to agonise in future about the plot being too small and moving the factory, she thought.

It would be better for her to do the job herself to avoid shocking her parents. Once the contract was signed and the money paid, it would be irreversible even if they wanted to change their mind.
