The happy life of the great landowner

Chapter 48 Fu Sheng Nong Food Company

Chen Ye didn't answer Peng Yan's question immediately, because it's true that trying to get the villagers to try something new is not something that can be done with just a few words, and some villagers are still so superstitious, it's really hard to get them to change their minds. Difficult.

"Chen Ye, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You are still young, and you are going to take it step by step. Auntie believes that one day you will impress everyone." Seeing that Chen Ye did not speak, Peng Yan worried that his confidence would be frustrated, so she encouraged him .

Chen Ye is not someone who will give up lightly, so when he encounters difficulties, he has to face them more: "Auntie, why don't you help me call the people in the village and let them come to the village committee for a meeting. When the time comes, it's up to you Take the lead, let's take the lead to taste it in public to see if we can solve this problem."

Peng Yan also felt that this is the only way to do it at present, so she agreed: "Okay, since you said so, then Auntie will try her best to cooperate with you."

Chen Ye had a smile on his face: "Then thank you, auntie."

"Don't say thank you first, this matter is still relatively difficult." Peng Yan shook her head. Although she has a high reputation in the village now, even so, it is estimated that it is difficult to provide practical help to Chen Ye.

After lunch at Peng Yan's house, Chen Ye left.

Not long after he left, a middle-aged man in a suit, tie, and shiny leather shoes walked in. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he smelled a strong smell of durian, and he couldn't help thinking Curious, why there are durians in this village.

"May I ask who you are?" Peng Yan greeted this man when he saw him coming in.

The middle-aged man walked over, and soon saw half a piece of unfinished durian on the dining table, and said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Yongchang, and this is my business card."

After reading the business card, Peng Yan put it in her pocket: "Oh, so it's Mr. Zhou, what is your purpose for coming here today?"

Although Peng Yan had never heard of Zhou Yongchang, she had heard of the name of Fusheng Agricultural and Sideline Food Wholesale Company. This company used to collect agricultural and sideline products in surrounding villages and towns, but it had never been to Bairuo Village.

"That's it. The purpose of my visit this time is to inspect the village and see if there is any opportunity for cooperation." Zhou Yongchang then explained that he had heard that many villagers in Bairuo Village were raising crayfish, so he was interested again. understand.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning of his words is already obvious. The purpose of his visit today is to discuss investment matters.

Peng Yan was overjoyed. Although the county has a subsidy policy, if more businessmen come to invest, then the day when the whole village becomes rich will not be far away.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Yongchang pointed to the half durian on the table and asked, "Secretary Peng, please forgive me for asking, where did this durian come from?"

No wonder Zhou Yongchang was curious, because he came all the way from Xingyang City, and he didn't see anyone selling durians along the way.

"This is grown by our village." Seeing that Zhou Yongchang was interested in durians, Peng Yan cut a piece of durian and explained Chen Ye's planting of durians.

After Zhou Yongchang finished eating the durians, his face suddenly showed surprise, and he hurriedly said: "So that's the case, I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to take me up the mountain to have a look."

Peng Yan thought that taking Zhou Yongchang up the mountain might help Chen Ye increase sales, so she didn't refuse.

When Chen Ye went up the mountain, the teenagers on the mountain were enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree. When they saw him coming back, they all stood up quickly.

"Everyone will work harder today and tomorrow to pick the ripe durians off the trees and prepare to transport them to the city in the next two days."

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, the teenagers were startled and asked, "Brother Ye, do you want to pick all the durians?"

Chen Ye replied affirmatively: "Well, pick everything you can, and this time there are more goods."

"Okay." The teenagers started to work as instructed.

While Chen Ye and the boys on the mountain were busy picking durians, the villagers of Bairuo Village came up the mountain one after another, including men, women and children, especially many male villagers with axes in their hands.

When Chen Ye saw them going up the mountain, his heart tightened, and his brows immediately frowned: "What do you mean?"

It was the villager who was talking in the morning. At this time, he led more villagers up the mountain, and he was more confident: "Chen Ye, today we will cut down all the durian trees on this mountain, so as not to continue to damage the feng shui. , collided with the mountain god, causing our whole village to suffer.”

"He was right. I said why the vegetables in my field grow so poorly. It turns out that these evil trees are responsible for it."

"Yes, yes, these trees can't be kept. Maybe this year will reduce production, and the mountain god will take revenge on us next year. If you get sick or suffer, Chen Ye, you will bear the responsibility. up?"

The more the villagers said, the more outrageous they were, but the meaning in the words was obvious. They had cut down the durian trees today.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ye also had sullen expression on his face, and walked forward quite annoyed: "Uncles and aunts, I have told them before that the reduction in production in their fields has nothing to do with the durian planting on my mountain. None, if all these things are all on me, then I have nothing to say, but I still say what I just said, since I have planted these trees, I will definitely not let you cut them down, if If you insist on chopping, then chop me too."

"This..." The villagers immediately whispered to each other when they heard this.

At this time, Peng Yan, who was leading Zhou Yongchang up the mountain, saw a conflict on the mountain, and hurried over: "Everyone, please be quiet first."

As soon as the villagers heard this, they all turned their attention to Peng Yan.

Seeing that the villagers had calmed down, Peng Yan said, "A while ago, everyone knew about Chen Ye planting durians on the mountain, but many people are very unfamiliar with durians and don't know what these things are, right? "

As soon as the words came out, the villagers nodded one after another, and many people who couldn't hold back their words couldn't help but say: "Secretary Peng, what's there to say about that ugly, smelly and thorny thing? It's baby."

Someone started, and naturally someone echoed: "That's right, and it's something that grew on that barren mountain, so it's probably not a clean thing, Secretary Peng, I think you'd better persuade Chen Ye, don't continue to dump that dirty thing. Something is wrong, we are in the land under the mountain, because of these trees, the harvest has deteriorated."

The gossip is all together, but there is no good thing to say.

"Everyone be quiet." Peng Yan raised her voice a little, and then said to everyone: "This durian is not a dirty thing, it is a tropical fruit that mainly grows in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It nourishes yin and strengthens yang. There is a saying in several coastal provinces in the south that one durian and three chickens can prove how nourishing it is, if you don’t believe me, I’ll eat it for everyone to see.”

After Peng Yan finished speaking, she asked Chen Ye to cut open a durian, and then ate the durian in front of everyone.

Seeing that Peng Yan ate the durian, the villagers stopped saying durian is a dirty thing, but even if it is edible, is it really as nourishing as Peng Yan said?The villagers did not believe this statement even to death.

"Secretary Peng, you're not lying to us, are you? That ugly, smelly, thorny thing actually nourishes yin and strengthens yang?"

"Isn't it? Besides, even if it's a fruit, it can't really be compared with a chicken."

Peng Yan didn't explain immediately, but changed the words: "I can't verify whether this statement is correct, but its price is really not cheap. Do you know how much a catty of durian sells for in Xingyang City?" ?"

"This thing can sell for fifty cents a catty, which is the best."

"I feel a little overwhelmed. Now the cabbage harvested is only one or two cents."

The villagers expressed their guesses one after another. According to their thinking, the durian, which has never been seen before, should not be very expensive.

"Everyone guessed wrong. Now this durian sells for 30 yuan a catty in the urban area."

As soon as Peng Yan finished speaking, the villagers immediately lost their composure: "Secretary Peng, what do you say, how much can this thing sell for!"

"30 yuan a catty, although the price is sometimes unstable, but the lowest will not be lower than 25 yuan, and in Thailand, where durians are produced, farmers there depend on exporting durians to other countries to get rich."

"My mother, the minimum is not worth 25 yuan. It's not selling one, it's worth buying more than 200 catties of cabbage."

The faces of the villagers were full of shock, but they didn't believe all of Peng Yan's words, because they had never been to Xingyang City, so how could they know whether it was really so expensive there, let alone Thailand, they had spent their entire lives The furthest has been to the county seat.

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, if they can't confirm it themselves, they won't believe it.

Sure enough, a villager stood up and said, "Secretary Peng, how do you want us to believe that this thing can sell for a high price?"

When doubts grew louder, Zhou Yongchang first looked at the durians that had been picked, then squeezed through the crowd and walked out, and walked up to Chen Ye: "You are the Chen Ye that Secretary Peng said, right? You are the one who grows the durians on this mountain, right?"

Chen Ye was taken aback, then looked at Zhou Yongchang: "I am Chen Ye, and I grow all the durians here."

Zhou Yongchang continued: "Oh, can you sell all these durians to me? Don't worry, the price will definitely be low."

"I'm sorry, I have already promised to sell these durians to others, it is impossible to sell them to you." Chen Ye has his own channels to sell these durians, and he has signed a contract with Zhang Haiming. In the future, these durians will be sold to Xingyang City. If other hotels bought durians, the durian dessert he cooperated with Zhang Haiming would lose its core competitiveness.

Zhou Yongchang thought that Chen Ye was worried that his bid would be low, so he was unwilling to sell it to him, so he said, "How about this, the durians on the market now cost 30 yuan a catty, so I'll buy them from you at a price of 22 yuan. Do you think the price is right?"

Chen Ye frowned. The price of 22 yuan a catty was indeed not low. The batch of durians he sold to Zhang Haiming before was only 18 yuan a catty.

Seeing that there was hope, Zhou Yongchang proposed again: "How about this, I can pay first, and then you will hand over the goods to me. In the future, I will take all the durians from your place. The purchase price remains unchanged. If the market If there is a price increase, then I will also increase the purchase price accordingly.”

Listening to the conversation between Zhou Yongchang and Chen Ye, the villagers couldn't help scoffing. In their opinion, there is no such good thing in the world. Isn't this a play that Chen Ye asked someone to act in?
Chen Ye didn't know what the villagers thought, but he had promised Zhang Haiming, so he couldn't lose his reputation, so he said, "I'm sorry, I have already agreed to sell this batch of goods to Zhang Haiming from Tianma Food Company, even if your bid is high, I won't sell it to you either"

"Come on, Chen Ye, stop acting, this person is obviously your trustee"

"That's right, don't take us for fools, who are you fooling with such a simple trick?"

Seeing that the villagers began to verbally attack Chen Ye and Zhou Yongchang, Peng Yan immediately came over and told everyone: "Everyone be quiet, this is Mr. Zhou of Fusheng Nong Non-staple Food Wholesale Company, not the liar you said."

Sure enough, as soon as Peng Yan finished speaking, all the villagers looked at Zhou Yongchang differently, because Fusheng Farmer Food Wholesale Company was in several surrounding villages and towns, and it was like the God of Wealth. Invest in the villagers!
Zhou Yongchang smiled, and he didn't care about the misunderstandings of the villagers, so he said, "Chen Ye, look at this, you call Mr. Zhang, and I'll talk to him face to face, do you think it's okay?"
