Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Thirty-Seven

"You want to acquire my breeding technology for fifty million, then hire me as the technical director, and also give me five percent of the shares in Lily Hotel."

Upon hearing the conditions offered by Shangguan Baihe, Long Xiaoshan was stunned.

Fifty million!

That was a lot of money!

With that money, Long Xiaoshan would leap from a penniless farmer to a multimillionaire overnight. It was likely that there were few people in Niu Y County with assets worth fifty million, not to mention the five percent shares in the hotel that Shangguan Baihe was offering—another significant deal.

Xiaoshan had enough insight to recognize that, with the assets of Lily Hotel, one hundred million was definitely within reach, not to mention the potential for the shares to appreciate in value. The better the hotel did, the more his shares would be worth.

Such an offer demonstrated Shangguan Baihe's determination.

Even Su Wan, who was listening on the side, was shocked by it.

The chairman held Long Xiaoshan's breeding technology in such high regard.

For Shangguan Baihe to come up with fifty million at once was impossible. She would definitely have to take out loans or something.

To say that Long Xiaoshan was not tempted would be a lie.

Although he had encountered all kinds of people in prison, including many wealthy ones, he was, after all, from a peasant background. Becoming a multimillionaire so suddenly was bound to excite him, but what breeding technology did he have? The spirit shrimp he could breed were all thanks to the Jade Purifying Bottle.

This Jade Purifying Bottle was his biggest secret, something he definitely couldn't expose.

Besides, with the Jade Purifying Bottle in hand,

could he not make fifty million, or even five hundred million, five billion?

It must be said, the ambition of a small farmer is also quite big.

Long Xiaoshan apologetically said, "Chairwoman, I'm sorry, but I can't sell my technology. It's not just my own; it was passed down to me, and I cannot simply spread it around."

Shangguan Baihe's brows furrowed upon being unexpectedly turned down by Long Xiaoshan.

The price she had offered was definitely enough to shock a small farmer.

Truly beyond her expectations.

"You really won't consider it? Fifty million plus five percent of the shares. If things go well, you could become a billionaire in a year or two," Shangguan Baihe tempted.

Long Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I really can't sell it. Moreover, I have contracted several hundred acres of land in the village with plans to run a breeding farm. In the future, I plan to raise not only shrimp but also various livestock, aquatic products, and cultivate melons, vegetables, and fruits."

"What?" Shangguan Baihe said, somewhat surprised, "You're breeding so many things, you understand them all?"

"I guess so," Long Xiaoshan said, not fully committing. But what did he need to understand when he had the Jade Purifying Bottle in hand? As long as he had merit, he could continuously produce spiritual beings.

Shangguan Baihe observed the peasant before her closely. His skin was a bronze color, his eyes were very bright, and he had a lean, energetic appearance with an exceptional vibe. And honestly, he was quite handsome—somewhat resembling that Hong Kong star Guzai—just hidden under rustic-looking clothes.

Shangguan Baihe knew that despite the small farmer's lack of worldliness, he was quite stubborn.

His refusal to sell the exclusive distribution rights the last time was an example.

Now, with Long Xiaoshan saying this, it was certain to be the same as last time—she wouldn't be able to purchase the technology.

Inside, she felt it was a pity. Only Shangguan Baihe knew the value of those spirit shrimp, worth far more than 1888. Anyone who tried them once would become a repeat customer, and, most importantly, the health benefits of the spirit shrimp were incredible. She had heard from feedback that using the spirit shrimp not only had beauty and health benefits, but even offered significant assistance for men, potentially enhancing virility.

This treasure is priceless.

Now those leaders in the county have all inquired about it.

Making money isn't the key issue anymore, using Spirit Shrimp as leverage to establish relationships, it's way better than just money.

Who doesn't want to be healthy and strong in that aspect? Those high-ranking leaders have to entertain every day and manage countless affairs; they generally suffer a lot in that regard.

However, when Su Wan heard that this small farmer was planning to raise even more things and run a comprehensive farm,

Shangguan Baihe's eyes lit up again, she smiled and said, "Xiaoshan, those melons, vegetables, fruits, and the livestock and poultry you grow, are they all like the Spirit Shrimp? Do they contain medicinal properties?"

Long Xiaoshan replied, "Some of them do, but it's impossible for each one to have effects as powerful as the Spirit Shrimp. However, their taste will definitely be much better than the ordinary and they will be free from any pesticides or hormones."

Long Xiaoshan understood that if everything matured in a matter of days like the Spirit Shrimp, he wouldn't be able to keep up. He didn't have enough Merit Spirit Liquid to use, but the Spiritual Liquid could improve soil and water quality. Diluted and used in fields and ponds, the growth cycle wouldn't be as quick, but it would still be faster than conventional farming, and the vegetables and fruits would be much better too.

Shangguan Baihe was tempted.

If Long Xiaoshan's farm was established, even if the effects weren't as strong as those of the Spirit Shrimp, there was nothing like this on the market. Others didn't know about the source of the goods yet. If she could purchase them in advance, she would not have to worry about sales.

And it's large-scale farming that really makes the money.

It's like selling cars. Even if Ferraris are expensive, they don't sell as much or make as much money as Volkswagen's that sell for ten thousand a unit.

Thinking this, Shangguan Baihe gave a charming smile and said, "Xiaoshan, are you still short of funds for the farm?"

Long Xiaoshan calculated in his mind. He had brought over two thousand shrimps this time, which earned him over a million. If he used that to develop a few hundred acres of mountain land, it might be just enough. But compared to his overall plan, a million-plus was obviously not much.

Especially since Longyang Village was so remote. If he wanted to develop it, he would definitely have to build roads. Just constructing the most basic cement road would cost millions.

"Chairperson, are you planning to sponsor me?" Long Xiaoshan asked with a smile, as he was no fool and could understand Shangguan Baihe's implication.

"You're correct. I am very optimistic about your farm, and I also want to strengthen our cooperation. I am willing to invest ten million in your farm. Additionally, I have connections in the county which could be of assistance to you," Shangguan Baihe said, her slender fingers clasping together as she looked at Long Xiaoshan.

Once business was the subject, Shangguan Baihe's queenly aura surfed.

Long Xiaoshan's head did not spin with the figures; having offered fifty million earlier, ten million now did not seem shocking. Who would know that just a few days ago, he was just the small farmer who couldn't afford a twenty yuan room?

Long Xiaoshan felt he could amass money quickly, but he understood that Shangguan Baihe's network was something he couldn't acquire even with money.

"Chairperson, you surely aren't investing out of charity, what return do you want?" Long Xiaoshan asked directly.

"You are right. I want a twenty percent stake in your farm, what do you think?" Shangguan Baihe proposed.

"That won't do, twenty percent is too much," Long Xiaoshan hurriedly shook his head, "If the farm gets developed, conservatively estimated, just the annual shrimp yield could increase to hundreds of thousands, worth hundreds of millions, not to mention other livestock products. Twenty percent is too much. At most ten percent."

"Alright, ten percent it is,"

Shangguan Baihe quickly agreed with a smile on her face.

It made Long Xiaoshan suspect that her initial offer of twenty percent was deliberately high.

The next step was to discuss the details between the two parties.

As the business queen of Niu Y County, Shangguan Baihe may have faced someone many considered well-read like Long Xiaoshan – but knowledge gained from books is theoretical. After exchanging ideas with Shangguan Baihe, he benefited a lot. Many details of running a farm and product development were not as comprehensive and far-reaching as Shangguan Baihe had considered.

After the discussion, Shangguan Baihe said to Su Wan, "little Wan, you don't need to handle the hotel's HR for now. You're familiar with Xiaoshan, help him get the farm started. If there are any issues, contact me."

"Got it, Chairperson," Su Wan responded.
