Game Of Thrones : Merchant of Two Worlds

Chapter 286: 286. The Construction of the Logging Farm Is Completed



"It should be an honor for these damn criminals to dedicate themselves to medicine."

"That's right. Instead of hanging them, it's better to let Bachelor try the medicine on them. It's the last use of these bastards," Marbu said, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with a smile on his face.

"I also agree with your decision, my lord! Those prisoners who committed serious crimes can still be useful. They should be grateful!" Bud scratched the hair on his head and nodded in agreement.

Jon looked at all three of his companions and nodded as well. His solemn face showed a wry smile. "If it's just felons, I don't mind."

Jason Liu nodded, satisfied that the four of them could work well with the Bachelor of Science in the future, which would save a lot of trouble.

After placing the Bachelor of Science in the lumberyard hospital, Jason Liu took a carriage back to the castle in Winter Market Town.

Back in the modern world the next day, he and Lin went to the land management department of the high-tech zone and signed the already negotiated land purchase agreement.

In addition to the original warehouse land of more than ten mu, the suburb of the high-tech zone now included a total of nearly 100 mu of land with a service life of 50 years and a total cost of 24 million yuan.

Compared to the original 250,000 yuan per mu, it was 10,000 yuan cheaper.

As the conversation continued, Jason Liu felt there wasn't much else to discuss, so he simply decided to buy it.

Sent off with smiles by a deputy director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, Jason Liu took Lin Xiaohan back to the company with the contract in hand.

"Manager Jiang, find a construction team to level the land we just bought as soon as possible and build a simple steel structure warehouse on 50 acres first. These warehouses will be used to store logs in the future. So, the requirements for the warehouse aren't high—as long as it can keep out wind and rain."

Back at the company, Jason Liu convened a meeting with several department managers and first gave instructions to Jiang Chuchu of the Sales Department. "Contact the same construction team as last time and ask how long it would take if they rushed the job."

"Okay, Mr. Liu. I'll get in touch now!" Jiang Chuchu nodded, walked aside, and immediately took out her mobile phone to contact the construction team that had built the last warehouse, relaying Jason Liu's request to them.

Jason Liu then looked at Lin Xiaohan, who was sitting on the right side of the conference table. "Manager Lin, please inform Ironwood Timber Co to prepare the machinery for loading and unloading logs, as well as the transport vehicles to move logs from the warehouse to the wood processing plant. If there aren't enough vehicles, buy a new batch as soon as possible."

"The amount of logs we'll be shipping is very large," Jason Liu cautioned.

"Okay, Mr. Liu. I will contact Director George from Ironwood Timber Co right away," Lin Xiaohan replied earnestly.

She and Jiang Chuchu had always been in charge of Ironwood Timber Co and were very familiar with the factory's operations.

"Now that the new warehouse has been completed, once the logs are transported in, Ironwood Timber Co should start initial processing and directly sell the processed logs. Everyone should pay attention—this is an important product line!"

Jason Liu looked around at the department managers. Everyone was doing their jobs well, and he believed Fusion Trading would only get better and better.

Manager Regina of the Personnel Department and Manager Oliver of the Purchasing Department nodded in agreement, assuring him that they would perform well.

"Mr. Liu, according to your request, if the 50-acre warehouse is built using simple steel structures, the fastest completion time would be about one month. But if they have to work overtime, the construction cost will increase significantly..." Jiang Chuchu said hesitantly.

"Money is not a problem. Tell them to get the equipment in place and start working overtime immediately. Go negotiate with them and finalize the construction period. I want to see the warehouse operational in a month," Jason Liu said, slightly raising his tone and fixing Jiang Chuchu with a serious look. "Do as I say, Manager Jiang!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!" Rarely seeing Jason Liu's authoritative side, Jiang Chuchu subconsciously shrank back and quickly responded.

She couldn't help but wonder how this senior suddenly became so dignified—it felt as if she were facing a high-ranking government official.

After handling the company affairs, Jason Liu took the time to call his family and inquire about the ecological farm.

According to his sister Liu Wan and brother-in-law Lucas, they had now signed a land contract agreement with the village. At 1,200 yuan per mu per year, they had contracted 500 mu of land for 20 years.

The contract fee of 1.8 million yuan was paid in advance for the first three years, and payments would be made every two years afterward.

"The remaining 3.2 million probably isn't enough for the farm's construction, equipment purchases, and worker wages, right?"

Jason Liu did a mental calculation and figured that if the 3.2 million were used for construction, it might still be enough.

"It's okay, just build it first. If it's not enough later, we'll figure it out," Liu Wan said.

She knew her younger brother was wealthy, but she didn't want him to keep investing in the farm. After all, she didn't want to rely on him too much. He was still running a company and already had a lot on his plate.

"Well, let me know if you're short on money later. I still have more here. A farm doesn't cost that much," Jason Liu replied. He also knew his sister had a strong sense of independence, so she would probably reject any extra help.

Thus, Jason Liu planned to quietly help financially when the time came.

With the ecological farm in the hands of his sister, brother-in-law, and parents, Jason Liu wasn't worried at all. Spending a few million to let his parents do something they liked was nothing to him.

Although he personally didn't enjoy dealing with farming—

After all, how much money could an ecological farm really make?

It was nothing compared to his highly profitable business ventures.

Leaving the company in the hands of Lin Xiaohan, Jiang Chuchu, Oliver, and Regina, Jason Liu returned to Westeros under the pretense of a business trip.

The logging farms, located 10 kilometers south of Winterfell, had all been completed. The local villagers, who were barely clothed and fed, quickly signed up to become lumberjacks when they heard the logging farms were officially hiring.

They had been toiling away on barren land, paying taxes to their lords from the wheat they harvested—leaving them with nothing, not even enough to eat.

But here, not only were they fed and clothed, they also earned 10 silver deer per month.

For these farmers-turned-lumberjacks, Jason Liu offered a salary comparable to soldiers.

After all, logging was physically exhausting and dangerous—requiring real skill.
