The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 809: Billionaire

Qin Wenjun’s execution efficiency was very high. In just one day, she had screened out all the villagers who met the requirements for the first batch.

Moreover, she seized the moment, taking advantage of the current popularity of Sanhe Village, to send a proposal for developing rural tourism in the village to her superiors. She was prepared to ride the wave of policy support and further expand this matter’s popularity, creating significant influence.

While sending the materials, Qin Wenjun also found Li Qing to discuss her upcoming plans.

Open a manor, organize tours, and highlight local specialties.

Li Qing merely listened briefly and felt that it was indeed a great idea, so he agreed to it right away.

"You agreed just like that?" In the convenience store, Qin Wenjun incredulously asked Li Qing.

"I think it’s a great idea. Since it’s a good idea, of course I should agree!" Li Qing said with a smile on his face.

"But it’s going to cost money. Won’t you consider it carefully?" Qin Wenjun asked.

Li Qing agreed too readily, which made her somewhat unaccustomed.

"Is it going to cost a lot of money?" Li Qing put down his cell phone and asked seriously.

"Although there aren’t detailed data to support it, the initial investment will be at least around 500,000. That’s the minimum." Qin Wenjun said, "Our place has been subject to many rumors in the past, like Rat View, Yellow-Skin Tomb, Burning Man Valley, etc. Each one is quite spooky. I think these make great gimmicks and could serve as our initial attractions. Renovating these places would cost about 100,000 or so."

"Next, regarding food, drinks, and entertainment, having only barbecue is too monotonous; we need more variety. But since you paid to kickstart this popularity, we shouldn’t let others take our share of the market. We must act quickly."

"We need a decent manor, at minimum it should offer Chinese meals, and have basic amenities like KTV. We’ve already given out accommodations, so I think there’s no need to compete there anymore."

Li Qing nodded. "You’ve really minimized the investment. But, do you want me to contract all these places? Won’t others have objections?"

"Others might object in the future, but right now I don’t think they will." Qin Wenjun laughed, "They probably don’t expect our village’s current surge in popularity to last. Those other business operators likely think our place won’t stay popular for long."

"After all, for a very ordinary village to retain popularity is indeed a bit difficult. But I think if we proactively seize this huge opportunity and continue to create sufficient gimmicks, I’m confident we can retain some popularity, and make sure your money isn’t wasted, and even break even."

Qin Wenjun still didn’t know exactly how wealthy Li Qing was at this point.

They had never discussed this issue; she was only guessing based on some basic information. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Although I don’t really understand business, I think a business that can guarantee breaking even is definitely worth doing," Qin Wenjun said.

"Why are you so sure we’ll make money?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

"If we don’t make money, I’ll sell myself to you. I’ve already done the math. Not to mention anything else, but breaking even is definitely possible." Qin Wenjun said firmly, patting her chest, "Just look at our barbecue stall these past few nights. As long as we seize the current situation and gain a bit of fame, breaking even won’t be difficult."

"If this wave really dies down, I can go out and pull in people myself. How about I find a way to fill this gap for you? I really think this is entirely doable. If we wait until the tourists are stable before we do this, it really will be too late."

Li Qing looked at Qin Wenjun with a smile, "It seems... I agreed right from the start, and it seems you’ve really already sold yourself to me?"

Qin Wenjun was taken aback for a moment, then her lips curled up into a snicker, "Seems like it... all that talking was really a waste."

"However, I haven’t sold myself to you yet. Right now, our relationship is that of sweethearts, get it? This is the stage of romantic involvement, discussing sales is about talking of marriage. For a maiden as fair as I am, isn’t asking for a dowry of 100,000 to 200,000, and maybe a car too, not too much?

"I don’t want any of those things. Consider all that as your investment, and then I’ll just sell myself to you and peacefully be your virtuous wife. I could even scout out pretty girls for you, setting things up. Tell me, isn’t that a good deal for a woman like me?"

Li Qing nodded emphatically. "Absolutely a bargain. Let’s do it. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll give you two million to start with. Take care of what needs to be done properly. Since we’re doing it, let’s make a big splash and achieve something."

"Two... two hundred?!" Qin Wenjun looked at Li Qing in disbelief, almost biting her own tongue.

"Did I make it too complicated? Two million!" Li Qing said.

Qin Wenjun looked at Li Qing as if she had seen a ghost, "You didn’t just empty your coffers, did you? No, no, we really don’t need to go that far. We’re just staking an early claim. If our village really catches on fire completely, we won’t lack investors in the future. Just wait to collect the money."

"Although I’m not very rich now, two million won’t hurt my fundamentals. Any Elixir you’ve eaten starts in the tens of thousands. Do you think I’m short of money?" Li Qing laughed, "It seems you’ve only calculated the money I earn from my job. You haven’t considered how much those Elixirs I brought out could be worth—they’re seriously expensive. That stuff you use to soak in your drinks costs 1.2 million per piece."

"I... wow." Qin Wenjun’s face suddenly looked as if she had been struck by lightning, "That stuff really is gold."

"Is gold that expensive?" Li Qing laughed.

"Damn, it’s really not, that stuff is at most one or two liangs." Qin Wenjun completely lost her composure. "Then tell me, how much money do you really have? You don’t have to tell me everything, just a little—hundreds of thousands, or millions?"

"About... I might become a millionaire soon." Li Qing laughed.

This was merely the income from his recent sale of Elixirs, not including the compensation that Jing Yan was determined to stuff into his pockets from the Wu Family.

Although the money wasn’t in hand yet, Jing Yan had already designated it for Li Qing to manage.

But Li Qing wasn’t short of money right now and didn’t need it. He’d see how things went once the money arrived.
