"Village chief, I think there are two problems with this plan!"
When someone began to speak, everyone looked over in unison, and quickly, they all saw that it was Hu Xiaobei!
How come he's everywhere!
Although he cursed inwardly, Wang Dagui had no choice but to appear amiable on the surface since he knew nearly everyone in the village was here!
"Two problems? Then be specific and tell us what they are!"
What a patient man!
Looking at his feigned amiability, Hu Xiaobei smiled.
After that, under everyone's gaze, Hu Xiaobei, very methodically, began, "The first problem is the issue of profitability that everyone is concerned about. We all know that it usually takes a long time for fruit trees to bear fruit, so it's hard to see any revenue in the short term. How do you plan to solve this, village chief?"
"You little rascal sure know a lot!"
Wang Dagui silently cursed Hu Xiaobei after hearing his incisive question.
After that, Wang Dagui took a glance at everyone.
He knew this was a concern for everyone, so he had to give a reasonable explanation, or else nobody would sign a contract with him!
"To reap the rewards, one must make efforts! Indeed, initially, there will be no profits, but as long as we overcome the difficulties and persevere, things will improve! Previously, President Fang told me that his fruit trees are meticulously cultivated and can bear fruit in just one year, so everyone just bear with it a little while!"
At this moment, Wang Dagui did not mention the subsidies that Fang Zhonghu would provide in the first year because he had already decided to pocket all those subsidies for himself.
"Yes, just bear with it a little!"
"That's right, hardships are only temporary!"
"Yes, as long as we follow the village chief, we can definitely become wealthy!"
After Wang Dagui finished speaking, those flunkies standing behind Hu Xiaobei quickly echoed...
Hearing the flunkies chime in, Wang Dagui looked at Hu Xiaobei with a look of profound significance and said, "Xiaobei, young people should not always be thinking about money. Think about the rewards that come from hard work! Alright, you said there were two problems, what's the other one?"
Upon hearing such an impatient inquiry, Hu Xiaobei very seriously said, "The soil here isn't suitable for planting fruit trees. I've planted some behind the village before, but they grew very slowly! So, it's impossible for them to bear fruit in one year. I think it would take at least two or three years! And even if they really did bear fruit, the quantity would definitely not be much."
"This..."
Hearing what Hu Xiaobei said, the villagers who had been somewhat swayed by Wang Dagui's plan suddenly looked concerned...
Previously, when Wang Dagui had said there would be only one year with no yield, they felt they could accept it, but now, after hearing Hu Xiaobei's explanation, nobody could accept it, because two years or even longer was simply too much.
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Wang Dagui knew they believed Hu Xiaobei's words!
After clenching his jaw for a moment, he sneered, "Nonsense! You're spouting utter nonsense! Our land behind the village is so good, and you're saying there's a problem? Just because you don't like me, you can't stand in the way of our entire village becoming wealthy!"
At this moment, Wang Dagui really wanted to strangle Hu Xiaobei!
Because in his eyes, Hu Xiaobei was really just being troublesome!
To be honest, Wang Dagui didn't actually care whether the soil was problematic or not; he just wanted to coax more people to join in, because the more people who joined, the more subsidies he could get from Fang Zhonghu.
Hearing Wang Dagui's cursing, the flunkies also got the hint and spoke up.
"Yeah! What do you mean by this?"
"That's right, what are your intentions?"
"Yes, yes!"
Hu Xiaobei heard their eager cursing, but he didn't care.
After giving the very anxious Wang Dagui a disdainful glance, Hu Xiaobei calmly said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not stopping anyone."
When he got to this point, Hu Xiaobei said with a smile, "Actually, I have a plan too! Previously, I reached an exclusive cooperation with a local pharmaceutical factory. We would be responsible for growing medicinal herbs, and they would take care of purchasing them. Are you interested in this plan?"
Hearing what Hu Xiaobei said, many people present became interested, especially Guo Meiyu and Su Xueying...
Without hesitation, they said directly, "We're interested!"
After they spoke, many women also expressed their interest. They had all tried Hu Xiaobei's water pump for free before, so they were very grateful to him, and naturally, they were willing to stand with Hu Xiaobei...
Seeing that quite a few people were interested in the plan put forth by Hu Xiaobei, Wang Dagui's face suddenly turned sour.
Wang Dagui knew that the more people who joined his side, the more he could skim off the subsidies, but without people joining, it would be a disaster.
With that thought, he cursed Hu Xiaobei hundreds of times in his mind before bellowing, "Hu Xiaobei, growing medicinal herbs is very difficult. Don't think everything will go your way!"
Feeling Wang Dagui's urgency, Hu Xiaobei calmly said, "Is growing fruit trees easy?"
"This... Boss Fang's people will come to help with the planting, so it will naturally be simple!"
"I will help as much as I can on this side too! So, it's not difficult! Moreover, there is no waiting period for growing medicinal herbs, and we can see profits in at most a month!"
"You..."
Wang Dagui clenched his fists bitterly.
Hu Xiaobei knew that he was furious to the extreme, but Hu Xiaobei didn't care much, for he knew he could never be friends with him anyway, so if there was offense, there was offense...
Without another look at the seething Wang Dagui, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Alright, since everyone is interested in my plan, let's go with me now to get the seeds!"
"Sounds good!"
"Let's go!"
"I'm coming too!"
Just like that, more than half of those present left with Hu Xiaobei!
Seeing more than half of the people leave, Wang Dagui felt his heart bleeding...
"Hu Xiaobei, just wait, just you wait, I'll get you for this someday!"
After inwardly emitting such a vengeful curse, he turned to the people still there and discovered they were all his own kin...
Clearly, except for his own family, nobody else was willing to believe him...
"You'll regret this! For sure!"
After saying this coldly, he turned to the remaining people and said, "Alright, everyone, let's sign the contracts now!"
"Okay!"
So they began signing contracts, while on the other side, Hu Xiaobei led Guo Meiyu and others to his home's doorstep...
