Chapter 14 Agricultural Channel: The Road to Wealth - Oasis City, a Feng Shui Treasure Land!
8 month 10 day.
Chengdu, a residential community.
Wu Di was watching TV at home.
The program "Path to Wealth" from Yangtai Agriculture Channel is playing on the screen.
As a loyal fan of "The Road to Wealth".
Wu Di was already very familiar with the show's format.
Someone gave up a good job or business, disregarded everyone's objections, and resolutely quit their job to start their own business.
So-and-so made a huge investment for the first time and lost everything, and was regarded as a fool by the villagers. Then, an expert suddenly appeared out of nowhere and helped solve the problem, and the business became more and more prosperous.
Ultimately, so-and-so became wealthy, and the whole family lived happily ever after.
The program concludes with a bit of inspirational advice.
You can do it too if you work hard!
The farmers watching on television tried it out, and they lost money every time.
"The Guide to Getting Rich" is also jokingly referred to as "The Guide to Getting Poor," "The Guide to Getting Negative," and "The Guide to Being Mocked by the Whole Village."
Nevertheless.
Wu Di continued watching "Getting Rich," wanting to know what new tricks the show would come up with next.
On the television screen.
The narrator's voice came on at the right time.
"Geographical indications are important symbols of regional specialties, a collection of quality and reputation, a representative of regional culture, and a hard currency in international trade."
"Taking Xinjiang Province as an example, its geographical indications include Turpan grapes, Korla fragrant pears, Hotan jujubes, Aksu apples, and Alar walnuts, among others."
"In this episode, let's step into the world of Alar walnuts, where people have used walnuts to unlock their path to wealth and prosperity!"
The camera pans to a different scene.
Ganquan Town, Santuan, Oasis City, comes into view.
Looking out, on one side is a vast, boundless desert, and on the other side are rows of walnut orchards.
The narrator explained: "Ganquan Town is located on the northwestern edge of the Taklamakan Desert and is rich in solar and thermal resources."
In recent years, Ganquan Town has been developing into a walnut town, building a complete industrial chain encompassing production, cold chain storage, processing, and sales, thus forging a path for high-quality development of the walnut industry.
To date, Ganquan Town has 100,000 mu (approximately 6,667 hectares) of walnut orchards, producing 50,000 tons of walnuts with a total output value of 600 million yuan, earning it the reputation of "Hometown of Walnuts."
in front of the TV.
Wu Di nodded secretly upon seeing this.
He had heard of the great name of "Alar Walnut".
Of course, it will now be renamed "Oasis Walnut"!
On the screen.
In the walnut orchards, machines roared.
The walnut tree swayed, and green walnuts fell to the ground one after another, which the workers busied themselves picking up.
Harvesting walnuts by hand is too troublesome.
Using a four-wheeled tractor to shake down green walnuts not only saves labor, time, and manpower, but also increases the harvesting speed.
Farmer Zhu Zhixiong said to the camera: "My 500-mu walnut orchard has had a bumper harvest this year, with a yield of more than 5 tons of green-skinned walnuts per mu, which is about 1000 kilograms after drying."
The market price of dried walnuts is 13 yuan per kilogram.
My gross income from each mu (unit of land area) of walnut trees is 13000 yuan. After deducting costs, the net income is around 10000 yuan, which is a very considerable profit.
Upon seeing this, Wu Di couldn't help but click his tongue.
Zhu Zhixiong owns 500 mu of walnut orchards. Wouldn't he be able to earn 500 million yuan this year?
This is so wonderful!
The camera angle changes.
Inside a walnut primary processing enterprise located in Ganquan Town, green-skinned walnuts were piled up in net bags.
Workers are unloading walnuts from the truck.
These green-skinned walnuts will be peeled, cleaned, sorted, and dried here before being transported to all parts of the country.
The scene changes.
Farmer Zhu Zhixiong slowly recounts his story to the camera.
He is 45 years old this year and has started several businesses, all of which failed.
The villagers all advised him to stop making trouble and that going to a stable job was better than anything else.
But Zhu Zhixiong refused.
He sold his house in Shanghai and came to Alar City to contract land to grow walnuts.
Relatives and friends all thought Zhu Zhixiong had gone mad.
Faced with this situation.
Zhu Zhixiong continued to do things his own way, quietly planting walnuts.
The doubts from friends, the lack of understanding from relatives, and the rejection from family members pierced his heart like invisible knives.
Nevertheless.
Zhu Zhixiong remained steadfast.
He gets up at six in the morning and works in the walnut orchard until late every day before going home.
in front of the TV.
Wu Di roughly guessed the pattern of this episode.
The story should take a turn for the better soon!
Just as he expected.
Alar City is known as the hometown of walnuts and has rich experience in walnut cultivation.
Zhu Zhixiong learned from them and applied various techniques to his own walnut orchard.
Through trial and error.
His experience in growing walnuts has become increasingly rich.
This year, Zhu Zhixiong's 500-mu walnut orchard yielded twice the previous output, with a net profit of 500 million yuan, making him very wealthy.
As a result, he felt proud and smug in front of his relatives and friends, completely changing his previous image.
In response to reporters' questions.
Zhu Zhixiong began, "From now on, I will contract more land for walnut cultivation and build my own agricultural brand, making Oasis City's walnuts famous throughout the world!"
The camera angle changes.
The host of the "Getting Rich" program shared some inspirational quotes: "Zhu Zhixiong, a grower in Oasis City, planted 500 mu of walnuts amidst the incomprehension and ridicule of his relatives and friends, and achieved a yield of 1000 kilograms of dried walnuts per mu, easily becoming a millionaire."
Dear viewers, sometimes the difference between failure and success is just a walnut.
Getting rich is a topic that's always on their minds.
Getting rich is like a banner hanging in front of your bed.
Getting rich is a pursuit that continues day and night.
Getting rich is a difficult problem in the eyes of the poor.
Dear viewers, as long as you work hard, you can do it too!
……
In front of the television screen.
Wu Di was speechless.
Previous episodes usually featured some setbacks and hardships, with the plot being quite dramatic.
However, aside from the ridicule from friends and family, this episode was actually quite smooth sailing.
but……
The program "The Road to Wealth" is also known as "The Road to Poverty".
If farmers were to try planting walnuts, they would surely lose money on their first attempt.
As for farmer Zhu Zhixiong's experience, it's hard to replicate it again!
……
At the same time.
Netizens across the country watching the program are discussing it extensively.
"I'm so envious! Growing walnuts in desert regions can make you a fortune!"
"Damn? If I'd known growing walnuts was this profitable, why would I even be working a regular job!"
"I want to grow walnuts too! If you can get rich by farming, who would want to work like a dog in a big city?"
"After watching this episode, I'm not going to go to the city to work anymore; I'll just stay in the village and grow walnuts!"
"This episode didn't explain why dried walnuts could yield 1000 kilograms per mu (approximately 0.16 acres). The only reason is that Oasis City has good feng shui!"
"I'm so envious! Zhu Zhixiong, a farmer in Oasis City, makes money so easily and simply—it's so down-to-earth and mundane!"
……

……
On the Internet.
After watching the recent episodes of "How to Get Rich," netizens noticed that the episodes have been filled with no setbacks whatsoever.
Most of them are farmers who grow crops in Oasis City, doubling their yields and making huge profits.
Clearly, the doubling of agricultural output in Oasis City is not because these farmers are particularly skilled.
Rather, it's because the land in Oasis City is simply too fertile!
No matter what vegetables or fruits are planted, the yield can be doubled, and even the "Get Rich" program has become a "Oasis City special".
Netizens expressed a range of emotions regarding this.
The Oasis City has now become a truly auspicious place.
Even the beautiful and fertile water towns of Jiangnan cannot compare to oasis cities located in desert regions in terms of agriculture!
