Chapter 988 Shouldn't Have Made This Trip

Ordinary people spend money on consumption.

Most of the time, they can only earn someone a cigarette or two, or maybe an extra dish for lunch.

But when it comes to someone at Su Yehao's level, it's different when they spend money. Just casually investing in a tourism and leisure farm project might provide hundreds or even thousands of jobs, boosting annual output by billions.

Some poor towns with scenic landscapes might turn their fortunes around and completely change their destiny because of one of his projects.

He was thinking carefully about the cost-effectiveness.

In addition, the scenery at Zhaofeng Leisure Farm was only so-so, far less spectacular than the grasslands in the Northwest or the snow-capped mountains in the Southwest.

Before even checking into a room, the idea of spending a fortune to acquire this leisure farm began to fade.

The view from the top of the mountain really is different from what ordinary people see.

For example, people often talk about how good a certain brand of car is, but Su Yehao is concerned about how much profit car companies in Germany, Japan, the United States, and South Korea earn each year. The reason why the automotive industry can become a pillar of the national economy is that it can drive the development of many surrounding industries and provide a large number of high-paying jobs.

These days, people work hard in labor-intensive and resource-intensive industries to earn a little, only to have it taken away by high value-added industries such as automobiles, industrial equipment, medicine, and medical equipment. No wonder Su Yehao worries about things he doesn't need to, always feeling like he's losing out.

It would be one thing if he couldn't see it or didn't have the ability to change it.

But Su Yehao realized he had the ability, so he had no choice but to continue being a diligent little bee.

Instead of envying the local farmers who earn tens of thousands a year by farming and working, he should think more about how to develop the economy in the North.

Relying on increasing revenue alone is not enough. How to reduce expenditure is also key.

If a super internal circulation model could be created as soon as possible, relying on a relatively complete industrial chain, the time it takes to surpass the Old Americans in terms of total economic output could be shortened by at least three to five years.

This is what Su Yehao is most interested in now, and what he thinks is most meaningful.

There were many people nearby.

Yin Liuli deliberately kept some distance from Su Yehao. Seeing him lost in thought, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I'm thinking about how to break free from the shackles of money, turn wealth into my slave, and command it to do something practical."

Hearing this.

Yin Liuli's expression was slightly dazed. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told him:

"The person who least needs money in the whole world actually says he's still a slave to money. If these words get out, how are other people supposed to live?"

Su Yehao's tone was detached as he replied, "I wasn't talking about me. I was thinking about how to help those who are rich first to help those who are not yet rich. Just now, a local farmer said he earns tens of thousands a year, which made me a little envious. This kind of income is very common locally, right?"

Yin Liuli, not quite understanding what he meant, was already used to Su Yehao's somewhat erratic train of thought and simply replied:

"Yes, if you have more than ten mu of land, you basically don't have to worry about food and housing. You can apply to build farmhouses. You can see many of them by the farmland. People who are a little more diligent can also drive taxis, work as construction workers, or work in factories, earning 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. It's not too difficult."

Su Yehao nodded:

"Those farmhouses are roughly equivalent to village houses in Hong Kong and homesteads in the Mainland. Since it's their own farmland, the land itself is already quite valuable. In addition, if they grow some high value-added fruits, tea, etc., develop the tourism industry, and go out to work, life is indeed pretty good."

"They don't necessarily earn less than city workers. Land prices are very expensive. Having land is like having money. Like my mother, she doesn't have land and can only work in other people's homes. When I was young, she also thought about renting land, but my father was too lazy, arrogant, and loved to gamble. I remember the rent that was originally prepared was lost by him."

He had limited understanding of the local situation.

However, the geography knowledge he learned in those years hadn't been completely returned to his teachers.

Considering the local subtropical climate, it's normal that three seasons of rice can be produced a year, plus the abundance of tropical fruits, and the relatively popular processed tea and beef, resulting in a relatively high income.

Land output is only secondary. The key is the difference in other income. Ultimately, it's still a matter of vigorously developing the economy and increasing employment opportunities.

Before the accident, the migrant workers under Su Yehao could earn three to four hundred a day. Carpenters and painters earned even more than him as a supervisor. But in this 2004, their average income was only more than seven hundred yuan, a clear difference.

If they rely solely on land output, life is tight everywhere. Farmers and ranchers in Australia, the United States, and other places have already moved beyond the scope of small-scale farming. They have hundreds or even thousands of mu of land, so the combined income per mu is naturally high.

Regaining his thoughts, he stopped speculating.

Yin Liuli, who had returned to her hometown, had mentioned her deceased mother several times today.

On the way over, Su Yehao promised to take her daughter to sweep the tomb and pay respects. He believed that her mother, if she knew in the afterlife, should be quite pleased... right?

Yin Liuli and her daughter lived a good life, but their relationship had never been made public.

Under these circumstances, Su Yehao was a little apprehensive, not confident enough to pay respects. It seemed he had to prepare more paper money to appease her for stability.

————————

After checking in, he returned to the room to rest for a while.

Yin Liuli couldn't sit still and soon suggested going to the hospital to visit, to resolve her worries.

Su Yehao accompanied her out, but didn't plan to enter the ward, letting Linda Yun take care of things.

He had gradually distributed a lot of assets to Yin Liuli. The girl had buildings and stocks in her name, as well as restaurants, shops, etc. Her total assets added up to at least 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

In this light, it seemed a bit like returning home in glory. Although she wasn't as rich as Nong Qingying and Nangong Tian, she was definitely not bad off, enough to live a life of carefree comfort.

Arriving at the hospital, Su Yehao only sat in the car and waited, taking the opportunity to call Chu Jun, who had re-launched and started developing a new Huang Zuan (Yellow Diamond) laptop, to explain some things.

He didn't know exactly what Yin Liuli discussed with her father, who sounded like a particularly terrible person, when she visited the ward. After about half an hour, she returned with her daughter.

Filled with curiosity, Su Yehao probed, "So fast?"

Yin Liuli's face looked terrible as she complained:

"As soon as he saw me, he said he thought I had died outside. I was fantasizing that he would become a good person when he was terminally ill. It turns out it was just my illusion. We quarreled again after only a few words. I heard the nurse mention that someone came to the ward a few days ago to ask him to pay his gambling debts. I really shouldn't have made this trip. I'll just hire a caregiver. Consider it my filial duty."

"..."

Su Yehao had never been in contact with this father-in-law, and was glad that both Master Jiang and Nong Qingying's father were quite reasonable.

Since even Yin Liuli didn't plan to contact him again, he certainly wouldn't be a busybody and said:

"That's good too. I'll take care of the caregiver, so you don't get dragged in and have your life affected..."
