Chapter 189 Buying Pigs
modern world.
After Gu Xi woke up, he first took Lu Wencheng out of the space villa and asked him to go home and reunite with his family and come back before dark.
Lin Xiaoxuan lives in Peach Blossom Land and refuses to come out. He wants to come back after he has defeated the Japanese pirates. He is such a hands-off boss that he doesn't care about the company anymore.
As soon as Chu Zhao came out of the space, he presented his treasure to Gu Xi.
"Ah Xi, I just finished interrogating An Mengde, and he has confessed. He sent the other half of the stolen money back to the capital. When we return to the capital, we will empty the An Mansion!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Gu Xi had no objection.
Then she checked on the Internet and found that there was a well-known pig-raising county in the nearby city - Fengshou County, which was only a little over an hour's drive away.
She drove all the way here following the navigation, and after entering Fengshou County, she saw a lot of people gathered at an intersection. They seemed to be arguing, with red faces and thick necks.
Gu Xi parked the car on the side of the road and wanted to ask someone if there was a larger pig farm nearby, but then he saw a large pig truck parked next to it.
She simply stopped to listen to what these people were arguing about.
A fat middle-aged man said excitedly:
"Boss Wu, we agreed to buy pigs for 10 yuan per pound, but now you suddenly changed your mind and only give us 7 yuan per pound. We can't even get back our investment!"
A middle-aged woman next to her also said:
"Yes, we signed the contract in black and white. It's really unfair of you to lower the price at the last minute. Aren't you afraid that we will sue you?"
The guy called Boss Wu was thin and short, with a pair of triangular eyes and a big gold chain around his neck. He looked very arrogant.
He glanced at the people surrounding him and said disdainfully:
"Go ahead and sue me if you can. See if you can get into court!"
The middle-aged man suppressed his anger and said with a smile:
"Boss Wu, we know your relationship with the mayor, so we dare not sue you. But your price is too low. Please raise it a bit. Seven yuan a pound is really not enough to cover our cost. Our work for the past six months has been in vain."
Boss Wu glanced at the shiny watch on his wrist and said:
"I can only give you this price because I'm giving you the mayor's respect. You didn't even ask around to see what the prices are like now. The price of pork in the city has dropped, and you still want to sell it at ten yuan. Are you going to sell it or not? If not, I'll leave. The villages behind are waiting for me to collect the goods."
The middle-aged woman continued:
"Boss Wu, I just entered the city the day before yesterday. I specifically looked at the price of pork. The cheapest is only a dozen yuan, and black pork costs more than 20 yuan per pound. We raise authentic black pigs."
Boss Wu said impatiently:
"What do you know? The price of pork is the price of pork, and the price of pigs is the price of pigs. Don't pigs need to be slaughtered? Don't they need to be transported? Don't they have to be damaged? I can't explain it to a country woman like you. If you don't sell it, I'm really leaving."
After he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Boss Wu looked at the number, walked to the pig truck next to him, opened the door and went in to answer the call.
Several pig farmers looked embarrassed and stood on the roadside to discuss:
"Should we sell it or not?"
"If you ask me, we won't sell it. We'll kill it ourselves and take it to the city to sell the meat!" said the middle-aged woman angrily.
Another man said:
"It's not as easy as you say. Where can we sell them? Should we rent a store? Stores in the city are so expensive. Besides, we have so many pigs that we have to sell them all. We don't just sell one or two at a time. How can we have time to sell them slowly?"
"Director, please make up your mind."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said:
"Forget it, I'll just sell it to him. Seven dollars is seven dollars. Even though it's barely enough to break even and I've wasted half a year's work, it's better than losing it all."
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone hung their heads in frustration.
Gu Xi and Chu Zhao got out of the car, walked over and asked:
"How many pigs do you have, countryman?"
The villagers looked at Gu Xi and said weakly:
"Almost every household in our village raises pigs, some have two or three, and some have as many as fifty."
Gu Xi nodded and said:
"Well, let's put it this way. I'll take all your pigs. I'll charge you 10 yuan per pound. Is that okay with you?"
Originally, she wanted to find a large pig farm with which she could maintain long-term cooperation, but after seeing these villagers, she changed her mind.
No matter which dynasty, those who were exploited the most were always the lower-class people.
She can't change the world, but since they met, it was fate, so she would help if she could.
The villagers all looked at Gu Xi.
Then it gradually dimmed. In their opinion, this girl was just a college student, or maybe a reporter who went to the countryside to collect folk songs.
Especially the young man next to him, with such long hair, he looks like a literary young man, how could he buy so many pigs.
"Girl, stop making fun of us. We are so worried. There are thousands of pigs in the whole village." The middle-aged woman said unhappily.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Gu Xi immediately said:
"I'm not lying to you. I was originally planning to find a large pig farm to discuss cooperation, and it just so happened that I came to your village. How about you give me your account number and I'll transfer a deposit to you first?"
The villagers looked at each other, "Are you serious?"
Seeing Gu Xi take out his mobile phone and look like he was going to transfer money, the middle-aged woman was overjoyed.
"Come on, girl, I'll take you to see my pigs!"
The eyes of the other villagers suddenly lit up, and they surrounded Gu Xi and Chu Zhao and entered the village.
After finishing the call, Boss Wu got out of the car and saw that there was no one at the intersection. A group of people were walking away, talking and laughing. He shouted:
"Hey! Have you guys discussed it? Are you still going to sell it? If not, I'm leaving!"
The crowd shouted:
"Not for sale!"
Boss Wu snorted coldly and said:
"Don't think you can raise the price by uniting together. Just wait, if you ask me to come again tomorrow, it will be six yuan a pound!"
After saying that, he drove away in the pig truck.
Along the way, the middle-aged woman had explained what had just happened.
This is Xugangzi Village. The fat middle-aged man just now is their village director Xu Qingbing.
A few years ago, they signed a contract with the boss named Wu Xin. All the pigs raised in their village were sold to Wu Xin at a price of ten yuan per catty.
Wu Xin was introduced by the town mayor. With the mayor as a middleman, the villagers felt he could be trusted and they all started raising pigs.
If there are strong laborers in the family, you can raise more pigs. If there are only women and children left at home, you can raise three or five pigs. After half a year, these pigs can turn into real income.
Wu Xin not only signed a contract with their village, but also signed contracts with most of the villages in the town.
The mayor has also received high recognition and praise from his superiors for promoting the development of rural sideline industries, and he is about to be promoted to the position of town party committee secretary.
What a great achievement!
