MTL - Spiritualist In Korea-Chapter 4 Plantation Status
"The entire plantation covers an area of 102.5 mu, and the actual planting area is about 97 mu."
"The main rose species is Damascus rose, the yield per mu is about 480kg, with a total annual output of 46,500 kg of flowers, 11.64 kg of rose essential oil, and 40,000 kg of rose water."
"Excluding the income from rose slag, last year rose oil revenue was 74.5 million won, and rose water was 146 million won."
“After deducting all expenditures, the plantation is still in the red.”
After entering the plantation, Fang Shihe gave Li Mo a detailed introduction to the current operation of the plantation.
Li Mo listened very seriously, and after thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
According to this kind of income, the funds invested by the second master should be recovered. It is estimated that he will never see him until he dies.
Fang Shihe had already learned from Cha Hyunjae that Li Mo was the heir to the plantation that Li Han found.
Seeing Li Mo's expression like this, he couldn't help but get anxious.
Because if Li Mo gave up continuing to operate the plantation, it would mean that Li Han’s dream of running the plant together with their employees would be dashed at the same time.
Most of the employees working in the plantation are orphans assisted by Li Han. Working here, Fang Shihe and others are full of gratitude and a sense of mission.
Help Li Han realize his dream, but unfortunately after a lot of hard work, the rose plantation is still on the verge of bankruptcy, which is not what they want.
Cha Hyunjae shook his head when he felt Fang Shihe's look for help.
He didn't want to force Li Mo, and it wasn't that forcing Li Mo to stay would solve any problems.
Li Han's will has two succession plans. The estate is mainly divided into two parts, one is the rose plantation, and the other is the land property.
One is that Li Mo accepts the inheritance and continues to operate the plantation until it can no longer be sustained. Li Mo can also get a lot of cash from the sale of plantation assets and land.
Another, Li Mo did not accept it, the plantation declared bankruptcy and sold directly, and the funds were still used for severance and charity, and Li Mo could still get a sum of cash.
Fang Shihe had no choice but to look at Li Mo with hope, hoping that he could continue to run the plantation, even if they were given the last chance, this is what all the staff hoped.
Unfortunately, Li Mo did not continue to answer, but instead asked a question.
"Brother Shihe, since the investment is so large, the equipment I have seen along the way seems to be very advanced. Why is the plantation still not profitable?"
Fang Shihe said with a wry smile: "Our plantation is already the top in terms of hardware and technology. But for some reason, the roses produced are lower than normal in terms of yield and quality."
"Even though many experts were invited from abroad, the reason could not be found."
"Isn't that the influence of the geographical environment?"
Fang Shihe shook his head, "No, everything is normal in all aspects of testing. Besides, there is also a plantation not far from our plantation. The conditions there are a bit worse, but the roses produced are better than ours."
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Mo looked at Cha Hyunjae in surprise, and was drunk when he saw him nodding helplessly.
Is there a non-scientific factor?
Li Mo couldn't help squinting, looking at the lush, budding rose field.
When I saw it, I was stunned!
Since he obtained the ability that is said to be able to control natural energy, Li Mo found that not only could he not be able to control it, but whether he could see or not also depended on his character.
What does he see now?
Different from what he saw several times before, in the plantation, he saw strands of natural energy slowly drifting outward, gradually forming a natural energy void.
This is counterintuitive.
Because natural energy does not move by itself, it may be thin in some places and thick in some places, but it does not mean that it will spread automatically.
In Li Mo's eyes, plantations seem to be mutually exclusive with natural energy. Maybe this is the reason for the poor quality of roses produced in plantations?
Natural energy is useless to humans, but plant growth absorbs a little bit. If the natural energy absorbed during the growth process is compared with that without absorption, the former will definitely explode the latter.
Whether it is quality or quantity.
Rubbing his chin, Li Mo felt that his second master was becoming more and more mysterious.
Green beads, natural energy, and this rose plantation that repels natural energy.
・・・
Li Mo strolled around the plantation. Under the leadership of Fang Shihe and Cha Hyunjae, Li Mo got to know the plantation, or the senior management of Piaoxiang Agricultural Company.
Fang Shihe, who he already knows, is in charge of sales.
Cha Hyun Jae Needless to say, legal counsel.
Kim Byungnam, vice president, will serve as president temporarily until the new president does not take office.
There are also all-phase middle of the technical department, Cui Shengyuan of the logistics department, etc., and others will not be described in detail.
They are all elders. They are very kind when they see Li Mo, and their eyes are so warm that Li Mo can't bear it.
Li Mo naturally understands what these people think, but he can't make a decision yet.
In the eyes of everyone's disappointment, Li Mo silently followed behind Cha Hyunjae and went to the dormitory of the plantation to rest. After all, he still has to stay here for a few days, so there is no need to worry.
The dormitory of the plantation is a small five-storey building, which is both a dormitory and a place for employees to work.
"Little Mo, don't be too embarrassed, just do whatever you want. I believe Mr. Li won't blame you."
Cha Hyunjae said this before leaving.
Li Mo just smiled, he didn't care at all. Fang Shihe and the others worked so hard for their second master, so how could he blame him?
He was thinking, are there other factors that affect the abnormal diffusion of natural energy?
Since there are magical treasures like green beads, maybe something has affected this place?
Unfortunately, his abilities are sometimes ineffective, and he does not know how to manipulate natural energy. None of this was mentioned at all in the knowledge passed on to him.
Thinking is nothing.
But for the second master, Li Mo will still try his best.
Since the natural energy spreads outward from the plantation, Li Mo plans to go to the center of the plantation to see, maybe he will find some clues.
found Fang Shihe and explained his request, and happily took Li Mo with him.
Fang Shihe is thirty-five years old this year, married and has an eight-year-old daughter.
Along the way, Shihe did not give up the opportunity to persuade Li Mo, kept talking about the interesting things that happened in the plantation, and also mentioned how much his daughter liked it here.
Li Mo also listened patiently with a smile, Li Mo would not make a decision until he was not sure.
Whether it is for himself or the plantation.
After talking, the two came to the center of the plantation.
The reason why can be found accurately is because the target is too obvious.
All employees know that the center of the plantation is an ancient ginkgo tree, said to be more than fifty years old.
Standing under the tall ginkgo tree and looking at it for a while, Li Mo said to Fang Shihe that he wanted to stay here by himself for a while, and asked him to go back first.
Despite being puzzled, Fang Shihe left.
Li Mo stared somewhere in the tree trunk and started to stay stunned.
