Li Shi had been watching with great interest. When he heard they'd made 20 million yuan in revenue in six months, he looked surprised. "Seriously? Why so much?"

Li Shi did some quick math.
Renting an acre of land around Jinchuan only cost five hundred yuan. Mountain land cost about the same as ordinary farmland. In fact, vacant land suitable for building houses was more expensive.
The first investment had been 25 million yuan to rent the land for thirty years, with five years' rent paid upfront. That meant they had nearly 100,000 acres of land.
He'd taken a careful look earlier. They'd need to expand the area of land rented for recreational use at least tenfold. After all, they'd already had over a thousand customers in just six months, so they needed to set aside plenty of land.

With that, he turned to Wang Yue and asked, "Manager Wang, what do you think? This business is doing pretty well. We should just expand it some
