"Ha ha, you've bought everything you needed, haven't you? We don't really lack anything now."
Just after Natasha spoke, Eva squatted down in front of Xu Li, pouting and shaking his shoulders. "I want a game console, I want to play games, and I want a big doll. You promised me! I want a pink big doll. Can we go buy it tomorrow?"
"Sure, sure," Misha replied. "You're so nice."
Eva gave him a quick kiss on the lips before happily running off to watch television. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, scooping up watermelon while watching TV. Xu Li thought for a moment and turned to Natasha. "Mom, can we grow watermelons there?"
Watching the two sisters happily eating watermelon, Natasha slowly shook her head. "We can't grow them."
Xu Li scratched his chin and glanced at the wall clock. After considering his bank balance, he took out his phone and called Vasily, who was far away in Bratsk. "Brother Three."
Vasily, bored in his office, raised an eyebrow. "What's up? Are you not wanting to come back because it's too cold here?"
"Of course not," Xu Li replied habitually as he stepped outside to smoke slowly. "I want to contract the plains on the west and south sides of Our Village. How much do you think it would cost?"
"Are you crazy?" Vasily immediately sat up straight. "Those two areas together are at least tens of thousands of acres! Here, one acre costs several hundred Huaxia dollars. Plus, you'll need to register a company and buy various farming equipment—we're short on labor here! I can help with the paperwork, but where will you get the people and money?"
"I can recruit people from Huaxia, and I can buy all kinds of machinery from there too. The terrain around Our Village is excellent; it would be a shame not to farm it. Besides, now that I have a child, I need to save some money for them."
Hearing Little Sister's husband say this made Vasily genuinely happy; at least he saw the village as his home. Reflecting on his childhood home where he grew up, he thought Xu Li's idea wasn't crazy at all—those vast plains could easily be turned into fertile land with some care.
"Wait a moment; I'll make a call to check."
After hanging up, Vasily pondered for a moment before calling Lekshev to relay Xu Li's idea. Upon hearing about this opportunity, Lekshev immediately laughed and promised to support him wholeheartedly. He then said, "Tell that brave young man not to worry; I can offer him the best discounts and conveniences here. If he really develops it well, it will also count as my achievement and benefit me in the future."
"When he comes back, take him to sort out all the necessary documents and leases first; we can handle the rest gradually next year."
With his brother-in-law's assurance, Vasily happily chatted with Xu Li for a long time. After hanging up, he flicked away the cigarette butt with his fingers. The dream he had after eating those fruits had left a huge impact on him; his world was almost identical to that dream world.
In Huaxia, there was already an online shopping platform similar to what he had seen in his dream world. If all went well, in a few years the internet would take off, and people would increasingly seek green agricultural products—he could sell vegetables in Russia while exporting other bulk goods back to Huaxia.
Who would complain about having too little money? With enough funds, one could stay in the village all day while still having others earn money for them!
He could rent large farming equipment locally when needed; labor wouldn't be an issue either—if the money was right, people from Huaxia could carry shovels and hoes and build roads from Heihe all the way to Moscow.
Just as he returned to the living room, he received a call from Brother Ivan: "Wow Misha! Have you struck it rich? This big guy is amazing!"
