Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 278: Purpose and Plan

Mo Jingchun, who had just returned from the laboratory, was passing through the lobby on the first floor of the office building, deep in thought, when the receptionist called out to him.

"Boss, the village chief from your hometown just came to see you. Xia took him to the meeting room upstairs."

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, the village chief?

Why has the village chief come looking for me?

"Alright, I understand."

After entering the elevator, Mo Jingchun asked Zero:

"Zero, which meeting room is Xia Xiaomin in with them?"

"Boss, they’re in the R16 small meeting room."

At this time, Mo Jingchun couldn’t figure out why the village chief wanted to see him.

Moreover, over the years, his interactions with the village chief had been minimal, you could even say rare.

In his memory, it was back in 2021 when he got into Jing City University that the village chief visited his home once.

Arriving at the door of the R16 meeting room, Mo Jingchun was about to push the door open when he heard the conversation inside, which made him pause momentarily.

Outside the door, Mo Jingchun listened for less than a minute and roughly guessed the purpose of the village chief’s visit.

The concept of the affluent helping the less affluent, ultimately achieving common prosperity - the village chief was here to solicit investment.

With a firm understanding in his mind, Mo Jingchun smiled and pushed the door open.

"Village Chief, why didn’t you let me know you were coming?"

"You see, I didn’t even have the chance to come out and greet you."

"And I’ve kept you waiting here for me."

He Youhua, who had been sitting, quickly stood up to shake hands with Mo Jingchun.

In just a few short years, He Youhua never expected that Mo Jingchun would have grown to such an extent as he had today.

Getting into Jing City University was certainly impressive, but achieving the level of success Mo Jingchun had, right after graduation, was extremely rare.

"Don’t mention it, don’t mention it."

Mo Jingchun replied with a smile, "Really, no need to stand, let’s sit together."

After the three sat down, He Youhua appeared noticeably tense.

You might not guess from his youth, but despite being just twenty, in these past two years, Mo Jingchun had developed an aura from the inside out.

"Village Chief, I’m not sure what brings you here today?"

He Youhua sighed and said,

"I’m here this time to seek investment from Candy Technology for our village."

"You know the situation in our village. Although people can get by, very few can afford to buy a house in the county."

...

After listening to the village chief’s grievances, Mo Jingchun smiled and replied,

"Village Chief, this is a good thing. As long as the village has good projects, I’m happy to invest."

"Back in the day, you remember the situation at home, the neighbors have been very helpful."

"Actually, even if you hadn’t come, I planned to support some projects in the hometown to help everyone increase their income."

He Youhua was somewhat stunned. He had considered many outcomes but hadn’t expected Mo Jingchun to agree so readily.

Excited beyond words, He Youhua exclaimed thrice,

"Great! Great! Great!"

"On behalf of everyone in the village, thank you."

"Village Chief, you’re too formal. It’s what I should do." Seeing the village chief about to bow, Mo Jingchun quickly stopped him.

As the conversation turned to the projects, He Youhua took out the project proposal from a black briefcase during their discussion.

It was clear that He Youhua had come fully prepared.

"Boss Mo, please take a look. This is the project plan that the village committee unanimously agreed on, the most suitable one for our Mo Family Village."

Taking the documents, Mo Jingchun earnestly read through the project plan and said,

"Is it about cultivating medicinal herbs?"

"That’s right. Our Mo Family Village’s geographic conditions are particularly suited for growing valuable herbs like dendrobium, gastrodia, poria, lilies, and polygonatum."

"Especially dendrobium. If we can scale it up, an annual output value of one billion is indeed feasible."

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, "That much?"

"Impossible, if the output value is so high, certainly outside enterprises would come to invest."

Mo Jingchun knew that these medicinal plants, like dendrobium, were expensive.

He was aware that this thing was sold by the gram.

Moreover, the whole dendrobium plant could be sold for money.

With an awkward smile, He Youhua said, "Boss Mo, you might not know."

"Dendrobium has particularly stringent environmental requirements for growth."

"It requires constructing greenhouses and supporting facilities, leading to substantial initial investment."

"And natural disasters have to be prevented."

"But Boss Mo, there shouldn’t be any issues with other herbs like gastrodia. Our village has quite a few experts in cultivating medicinal herbs."

In the meeting room, Mo Jingchun furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

For a moment, the meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Without saying a word, neither Xia Xiaomin nor He Youhua dared to interrupt Mo Jingchun, who was immersed in thought.

Especially He Youhua, who was inwardly anxious.

Whether or not they could secure investment from Candy Technology hinged on Mo Jingchun’s current decision.

"Village Chief, once these herbs are produced, where can they be sold?"

"Even the best herbs are worthless if there’s no buyer."

Having never ventured into the medicinal herb market, Mo Jingchun naturally had no sales channels.

Moreover, the risk extended far beyond this.

If any problems arose with the herbs entering the market, Candy Technology would be the first to suffer.

Mo Jingchun’s concerns were justified; having grown up in the village, he knew all too well what some people were capable of doing.

For instance, in his memory, ten or so years ago, eucommia seeds were extremely expensive, selling for over a hundred yuan per pound, though he couldn’t recall the exact price.

Ten years ago, a hundred yuan was very significant.

Back then, having fifty cents at the corner shop, it was a huge amount in the eyes of classmates.

But some people would do anything for money.

The merchants buying eucommia seeds at high prices were doing so to cultivate saplings.

But some, for the money, boiled and dried the unripe green seeds and sold them to the merchants.

The boiled and dried seeds became just as gray-black as naturally matured seeds, with no visible differences.

But once such things happen, could it happen a second time?

Impossible, no merchant is foolish.

After that incident, eucommia seeds, once in high demand, were never asked for again.

"The villagers already grow various herbs, so the sales channels are present."

Mo Jingchun tapped the table, raised his head, and said,

"Village Chief, may I propose a suggestion?"

"I have a fund that can be mobilized on my company’s account."

"Leaving it in the bank is the same as leaving it there. I can take this 100 million and have the finance department open a new account as a special fund."

"As for investing, let’s forget about that. Honestly, the profits from cultivating herbs are not as high as doing internet business, and the earnings are much slower compared to the internet."

"This 100 million fund is available for anyone from our village to apply for interest-free loans."

"The term is five years."

"If a natural disaster occurs, the repayment time can be further extended at discretion."

"Village Chief, how do you feel about this plan?"
