Chapter 67 Capture
"Bachelor men still can't find wives, and married daughters don't want to come back."

Guo Yang's words seemed to hit the villagers right in the heart, causing a huge reaction. Some people blushed, some were speechless, but more people seemed to be insulted and clamored to punish him.

"What are you making a fuss about, Dayong, maintain order." Village chief Lu Zhaoqiang shouted sternly.

Lao Cao from Shazhou Seed Industry looked regretful. If the boss of Tianhe was beaten, it would be exciting. The boss of Tianhe didn't seem to have much patience.

Lao Cao decided to let the people who had been bribed in advance cause trouble!

But just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Xie Fanglin.

"Let's wait and see." Xie Fanglin suddenly became interested in Guo Yang and wanted to hear what he would say next.

In addition, he also believes that price gouging is not rational.

Competition is competition, but it would be funny if the news got out that two such large seed companies were controlled by a village committee.

Even if we take over the seed production base in this way, there will be no face to speak of.

The scene became much calmer, but there were still many villagers looking at Guo Yang with gritted teeth.

Guo Yang looked at them indifferently. Most of these villagers were wearing cotton-padded jackets full of patches. It might be because it was inconvenient to wash in winter, or it might be because they were lazy. In any case, the cotton-padded jackets were not very clean.

Poverty, ignorance and arrogance are fully reflected in this group of people.

Why is it difficult for Tianhe and Muhe to recruit?

Isn’t it because we can’t retain talented people here?

Because people who are used to being poor are very afraid, and the more afraid they are, the poorer they become, so more and more talents will go to build other cities.

They dare not come back, because if they come back they will have to take the civil service exam. If you don't hold a civil service position, you will be killed by the eyes of those around you.

But the people here are also sincere in their feelings. The silent love between the hero and heroine in the movie Hidden in the Dust is common here.

They lived together, helped each other, and stayed together all year round, year after year, until they became an old couple.

The village chief Lu Zhaoqiang stopped the villagers from making trouble. Their village committee is also responsible for the situation developing to this point.

But he was actually a little angry.

"According to your seed company, isn't seed production a sure win?"

Guo Yang smiled helplessly.

"Have you told the villagers that seed production is a sure win?"

"No." Everyone in Tianhe shook their heads

Recent years have indeed been a bonus period for seed production, but that is because the labor cost is low, with the average wage for a day's work not exceeding 7 yuan.

With the development of society, various costs of agricultural production are rising, coupled with various natural disasters.

No one dares to say that farming can make a steady profit.

Guo Yang continued, "Seed production is indeed a way to make money. Take seed corn production as an example. If you do a good job, you can earn more than 400 yuan per mu. But it requires a lot of worry and responsibility."

"It requires you to get up early and work late every day. If you don't do a good job, you might as well grow some ordinary corn and do some odd jobs."

"The difference between four hundred and one thousand is too big!"

When they heard that the profit from producing seed corn was only more than 400 yuan, two villagers immediately started shouting.

A technician from Tianhe responded, "One thousand is your own calculation, or it was advertised to you by Shazhou Seed Industry."

The people from Shazhou Seed Industry looked at each other in confusion. They did exaggerate their claims, but it wasn't that outrageous.

Guo Yang then asked: "Is 400 yuan per mu low? You have been farming for many years, so you should know how the accounts are calculated."

Most villagers still recognize the benefits, which are indeed much better than growing ordinary crops.

"It's just that some of you always like to have a taste of life and stop there. You're satisfied with earning two or three thousand yuan a year, and spend the rest of your time at home resting."

"I came here from the city. Many villages have built new houses, but you are the only village where people still live in old adobe houses."

"If a big earthquake happens, how many houses will collapse in your village, and how many people will die."

The villagers also knew that what Guo Yang said was true. Seeing people in other villages moving into new houses one after another, it would be a lie to say they were not envious.

At this time, the village director Du Youcai said impatiently: "Don't talk about this. Just tell me whether you still want to produce seeds here. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"That's right, that's right. I've said so much, but not a single word is useful."

"MD, if you think we are poor, don't come."

Guo Yang didn't get angry with these two people. He could see that there was something wrong with these two people. They were probably pawns arranged by Shazhou Seed Industry.

But this method is a bit low-level.

"Of course Tianhe wants to build a seed production base in Hekou Village, and we came here with sincerity." Guo Yang paced among the crowd. The winter sun felt warm on his body, and the attention of the people in the yard was all on him.

"The seed purchase price is still based on what Mr. Yan said, and we will also advance the initial costs of seeds, fertilizers, etc."

"In addition, we will also maintain and repair the infrastructure of Hekou Village."

Village director Du Youcai asked, "Where is the advance payment for seeds?"

The two villagers also started shouting, "Yes, Shazhou Seed Industry has to prepay the seed producers."

Lu Zhaoqiang glared at the two men fiercely, and the two villagers immediately dared not say a word. The village chief looked as if he wanted to eat them both.

Even Du Youcai was shocked.

"Tianhe is going to repair the infrastructure of Hekou Village?" Lu Zhaoqiang had a smile on his face, but his tone was not very sure.

Looking at his excited expression, Guo Yang finally gained a little more confidence in Hekou Village.

At least the village chief is still sober, and the village committee's appeal and control capabilities are still relatively strong.

"You heard it right. The field roads, ditches and irrigation equipment in Hekou Village are currently too outdated. Tianhe has decided to repair or replace them."

Lao Cao couldn't believe his ears. Aren't the irrigation facilities in Hekou Village still usable?
Why do you want to change? Is Tianhe Seed Industry anxious because it has too much money?

"The boss of Tianhe is quite far-sighted." Xie Fanglin praised.

This time, many villagers heard clearly what Guo Yang said.

If you think about it carefully, I don’t know when those old irrigation equipment and pipes in the village were installed.

An older villager recalled, "Most of the villagers' irrigation facilities were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and there have been no new ones in the past 20 to 30 years."

"In previous years, the village was poor and villagers couldn't scrape together money, so they had to make do with what they had."

"The equipment needs to be repaired every now and then, and it's time to replace it."

“It costs a lot of money!”

"What about Shazhou Seed Industry?"

Someone looked at Xie Fanglin.

Lao Cao still wanted to continue competing with Tianhe, but was stopped by Xie Fanglin.

He wasn't going to argue.

Our own people came in person, but the stakes given by Tianhe were too high and they could not compete.

This is normal!
We can also report this to the headquarters.

After looking at Lao Cao meaningfully, Xie Fanglin said, "Although Shazhou Seed Industry has not planned to pay for this amount of funds, it will definitely be able to pay it after it has promised to do so."

"Although the planning and construction of the seed production base infrastructure is an inevitable trend, Shazhou Seed Industry does not have the budget for this yet."

Lao Cao suddenly became anxious.

Don’t be like this. If you agree to it first, won’t it be easy to go back on your word later?

But Xie Fanglin still shook his head and said, "Shazhou Seed Industry will not invest in the infrastructure of Hekou Village."

Fuck, what do you take me for? Lao Cao thought to himself.

There was one thing Xie Fanglin didn't say: even if there was a budget, Shazhou Seed Industry would not invest the money in a village with many individual households.

If one or two villagers become disloyal, seed production will be difficult to carry out.

Guo Yang did not expect that the people on the sandbar would come with such a strong momentum, yet give up so easily.

Fortunately, the results are good.

Although the weather is dry, the arable land in Hekou Village is all irrigated land and there is sufficient water supply.

The cost of irrigation equipment and facilities for 5000 acres of land would be about one million yuan, plus some necessary production roads, it would be at most two million yuan.

This amount of money is a lot for the village, but it is relatively easy for Tianhe Seed Industry.

Taking over Hekou Village is a good start for Tianhe Seed Industry.

It is acceptable to spend a little more money.

Tianhe will be able to earn back this money through its production base sooner or later.

It’s just that Shazhou Seed Industry gave up so suddenly that Guo Yang felt a little bored.
