Chapter 609: Chapter 609: At Least Two Items

"It’s almost done," Yang Yu said with a slight smile, "as soon as I gather the last piece, I will have the complete treasure map. Then I will give it to Captain Long right away."

"I trust you," Long Jiutian said. "And I believe that day is not too far away. When it comes, I will definitely keep the most beautiful item in it as a wedding gift for you."

Yang Yu chuckled, "Captain Long, one item may not be enough, at least two."

Long Jiutian: "..."

Since many of his subordinates were injured, Yang Yu took them to rest for a while.

With Xia Yu and Shen Silin, as well as their many competent subordinates handling the company and Business Alliance affairs, Yang Yu had little to worry about.

These two women were far better at recruiting professional talents than Yang Yu.

As long as the funding was sufficient, they could dig up any type of talent.

Yang Yu had some free time recently, and Wan Lingying kept pestering him to teach her martial arts.

Yang Yu had no choice but to teach her reluctantly.

Wan Lingying’s basics were very strong, and she learned very quickly, so Yang Yu couldn’t just go through the motions; he had to teach earnestly.

Not until Wan Lingying felt she had "absorbed" enough did she leave contentedly to digest the training on her own.

After these days of cooperation, Sun Yijie finally settled things with the Xia Medical Association, and next was to discuss with Yang Yu about developing the Chinese Herbal Medicine base.

The "Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Scripture" that Yang Yu had included many methods to quickly cultivate high-quality Chinese herbal medicine, but it required a large number of cultivation personnel.

Since Sun Yijie brought it up, Yang Yu asked him to select a group of young people knowledgeable about Chinese herbal medicine pharmacology to come for training.

Three days passed, and Sun Yijie still hadn’t managed to get things done, which frustrated Yang Yu: "Mr. Sun Sr., isn’t the efficiency of your association a bit too slow?"

"Brother Yang, I’m really sorry," Sun Yijie forced a smile, "those young people studying Xia medicine, once they hear about going to the countryside to become farmers, none of them are willing to come."

"What a bunch of arrogant and useless trash, they are unleadable!" Yang Yu snorted coldly, "Mr. Sun, give them a final ultimatum, if they don’t come now, they will never get the chance again."

"No need, I’ve tried all methods of coercion and incentives, to no avail," Sun Yijie said helplessly. "Yang Yu, you might want to look elsewhere for these people!"

"Okay," Yang Yu hung up the phone and started to think about where to find such a large group of young people with specialized Xia medical knowledge to become these herbal farmers.

Just when Yang Yu was at a loss, Tao Zi suddenly called, "Yang Yu, I have something to discuss with you."

Yang Yu smiled, "Teacher Tao, feel free to discuss whatever you need."

Tao Zi said, "Here’s the situation, Tianhai University has a batch of senior students in the Xia medicine department who are about to graduate, but you probably know the state of Xia medicine in our Xia Country; it’s not easy to find them good internship placements. You have great influence; maybe you could think of a way to help these students?"

"Xia medicine department graduates?" Yang Yu’s eyes lit up with a plan forming in his mind.

Originally, he wanted to condition the students to ensure all the best graduates would stay, but he couldn’t appear too eager, lest they feel he was too desperate.

So, he had to think a bit more strategically and work from another angle.

"Teacher Tao, here’s the thing," Yang Yu said earnestly, "I’m not against helping them, but there has to be a condition."

"I am building a Xia Medical Chinese Herbal Medicine cultivation and research development base that’s costing several billion, specifically for cultivating Chinese herbal medicine and producing traditional Chinese medicine."

"Because the technology for cultivating Chinese herbal medicine is a secret of my sect, if these students want to intern with me, they must sign a contract to work at this research development base after they graduate."

"Of course, I’ll clarify the salaries in advance. Whether they want to come and contract to intern with us will be up to them."

"I see," Tao Zi did not agree immediately, "I’ll ask the dean and the students themselves and get back to you later."

"Alright, no rush," Yang Yu said with a sly smile, because he believed that soon, these excellent students from the Tianhai University’s Xia medicine department would become the most solid foundation for his own Xia medical industry!

With the talent issue resolved, next it was time to meet with the village chief, Yang Sheng, and have a good talk about the cultivation land in the village.

Yang Village might not have much, but it had plenty of land suitable for cultivation.

In recent years, many young people had gone out to work, leaving a lot of land uncultivated.

So when Yang Yu brought up renting the land, Yang Sheng was overjoyed: "Ah Yu, how long do you want to rent it for?"

"Let’s start with three years," Yang Yu said. "If the harvest is good during these three years, a long-term lease wouldn’t be a problem. As for the rent, you and everyone else discuss it. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I will meet everyone’s asking price."

Yang Sheng slapped his chest, promising confidently, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Yang Yu trusted Village Chief Yang Sheng’s capability to settle this matter, but two days passed before Yang Sheng finally called, "Ah Yu, I’m really frustrated by these short-sighted people. When they heard you wanted to lease land, each one of them started asking for the sky, throwing out any price they felt like!"

Yang Yu was speechless but acknowledged that this was just human nature: "Village Chief, what prices did they quote?"

"Ah," Yang Sheng sighed deeply, "they said if you want to lease, it should be for over ten years, and the annual rent per acre must be three hundred thousand. You probably already have an idea of how many acres we have in the village and what the costs would amount to."

"Haha, that’s nice," Yang Yu chuckled lightly, "renting for ten years isn’t a problem, but this rent is just too absurd. The interest from a three-year term deposit of three million would suffice for a year’s rent on this land; do they think I’m a fool with too much money?"

"The last time we fixed the roads, it was clear they only care about short-term benefits. If it wasn’t for helping my hometown, why would I bother?"

"If that’s the case, then I’ll just go to another village to contract land. I don’t know about other things, but there’s never a shortage of cultivable land."

Yang Sheng hastily said, "Let me try to persuade them again..."

"No need to persuade, I don’t have that much time to waste with you," Yang Yu said. "One hundred thousand per acre a year, and it can be paid off once for ten years, but they shouldn’t expect any increase later. If we sign for three years, after three years, we can negotiate the price again."

"I only give everyone two hours to discuss, and in two hours, I’ll go find land in my grandmother’s Tree Village."

Yang Sheng became more anxious, "Ah Yu, no need for two hours, I’ll get back to you in one hour!"
