Chapter 1037: Desert Interview

Lao Jieke had confidence, so naturally his back straightened.

Let's wait for my accountant to come, then we can talk.

I don't really understand this.

Of course I'll pay the taxes I should; the ones I shouldn't...

Naturally, I won't pay a cent.

Tax avoidance in Yingjiang is a huge industry, with methods constantly emerging.

The richer people are, the more they try to avoid taxes.

There's a joke everyone knows: the wealthy in Yingjiang like to do charity.

But their charity is completely different from our high-profile Chen Shanren, Cao Lao Ban, and others.

Chen and Cao are truly sincere, genuinely doing charity.

Everyone says Daxia's rich don't like charity, but even so they're far more genuine than the hypocritical benevolence of Yingjiang's wealthy.

They actually did it.

Half a day later, the tax official left Lao Jieke's company with a black face.

Because the tax Lao Jieke paid wasn't much more than his round-trip airfare.

When Lao Jieke registered his company, Da Song Bank helped him set up many tax avoidance measures.

Plus the accounting firm's tax avoidance methods, so he really doesn't need to pay much.

After the tax official left, Catherine walked over.

Jieke, thank you.

Lao Jieke now really has no worries at all.

Don't be polite, Catherine; I should be thanking you.

Don't worry; once you have money, many problems won't be problems.

Tomorrow I'll subscribe to Great Wall Security's service.

From now on, whether it's you or me, when we go out we must bring security personnel.

Safety first.

Catherine thanked again.

Thanks!

Now, with the live-stream sales, Catherine has no lingering concerns.

They're really helping themselves.

Half a month later, Catherine came to the desert.

The desert, which should have been desolate, now has many more people.

The livestreaming Catherine, seeing a group of people on the wasteland, immediately ran over.

She started interviewing right away.

Hello, excuse me, may I interview you for a moment?

The people measuring the land, seeing foreigners, immediately stopped work.

The leader took the initiative to negotiate with Catherine.

Hello, I'm Huanghai of Wan Shi Zhen.

We're dividing land, so we don't have much time.

Catherine knew they were busy, so she didn't dare take up too much of their time.

So her questions were very direct.

Hello Mr. Huang, I'm Catherine, currently interviewing about the very bustling Desert Farm.

Could you tell us about the land division?

I seem to see many people dividing land.

Huanghai felt this was a publicity opportunity.

Our Wan Shi Zhen is now recruiting many residents.

Anyone who comes to settle here, we not only give houses but also allocate land: one hundred mu per person, two hundred mu for a couple, and if they have children, up to five hundred mu.

All of this is free.

Whether the land is used for jujube trees, goji berries, or other drought-resistant crops, the yield is good.

Our jujubes and goji berries are famous nationwide.

Moreover, we have complete processing companies here.

As long as you put in a little effort each year, you'll earn plenty.

Now the Yang Family has also started a farm here.

If you want to build a farm modeled after the Yang Family's.

The construction of underground reservoirs can be reimbursed seventy percent by the government.

Greenhouses, solar power, etc., can be reimbursed twenty percent.

Well, those who want to get rich need to act fast, because good locations are limited.

If you come late, you can only go into the desert.

It's as if not coming means you've suffered a huge loss.

The people in the Live Broadcast Room, however, got excited.

Free houses and land—sounds really good.

What you said has moved me.

What's got you excited? Can't you see? This isn't land, it's clearly desert and Gobi.

The host should ask whether their water usage is restricted; otherwise, without water, you can't grow anything.

Yes, it sounds good, but the reality is harsh, and the investment is also huge.

It's not recommended for ordinary people, because it's really not what you imagine.

I just came back from there; does anyone want it? A house, fifty mu of land, the wolfberries and jujube trees in the field are already bearing fruit. Transfer for free, no money needed.

Those upstairs have already grown the trees well; why give up?

Sigh, it's really too hard; drought and little rain are still part of it, but the bigger problem is that the land maintenance cost is too high.

To grow jujubes and wolfberries well, fertilizer and soil improvement are indispensable.

All the money earned each year is poured into the land.

What about the Yang Family's method?

The Yang Family's method is good, but the cost is high; most importantly, even if we do Three-Dimensional Farming, why not do it around big cities? Why go to the desert?

The best application scenario for Three-Dimensional Farming is to produce vegetables, strawberries, mushrooms, etc.

Building greenhouses in the desert? You've got a screw loose.

Many are not optimistic.

Even those who were interested were dissuaded by the bullet comments.

Catherine naturally also saw that bullet comment.

Mr. Huang, what about the irrigation water? And the land maintenance cost, etc. Could you explain?

Huanghai's face turned embarrassed instantly, but he couldn't stop speaking.

As for irrigation, we can use groundwater twice a year.

We can also use river water when the river's water resources are sufficient.

With these irrigation guarantees, production needs can be fully met.

Because we plant drought-resistant plants.

As for land maintenance, it's a long-term matter; the government distributes some organic fertilizer for soil improvement each year.

Once grass slowly grows, the land improvement speed will be much faster.

Catherine continued to press for answers.

Then what advantages does doing Three-Dimensional Farming in the desert have?

You mentioned the Yang Family; what they do is Three-Dimensional Farming.

Huanghai glanced guiltily at the camera, forcing himself to stay calm.

Exactly, the Yang Family came over; we support this approach because they do it this way.

Yang Family members always see what others cannot.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so wealthy.

For us ordinary people, just following them is right.

I dare not say you'll definitely succeed if you come, but at least you'll have a chance to follow the same path.

I believe following the strong is the best course.

Miss Catherine, what do you think?

Catherine smiled in response to the question thrown back at her.

I think what you said is correct.

Based on the Yang Family's past judgments, they always achieve unexpected success.

Maybe this time it's not surprising either.

However, I have a question I've never been able to figure out.

Mr. Huanghai, can you explain it to me?
