Song and Li Mufei next to him winked at Wu Ming, almost saying directly that Wu Ming should not be fooled, but at this time Ma Wen seemed very excited: "If this is the case, then I must thank Mr. Wu."

Wu Ming smiled and said, "Why do you want to thank me? This is business. For me, this is a matter of making profits. I didn't think about doing charity or anything. At that time, whether it is a local villagers or other people, they will get other dividends, which are all exchanged for their own efforts."

Ma Wenzheng sighed: "To be honest, Mr. Wu, I asked you to do this, on the one hand, to avoid waiting in the approval process. I still understand you. What you want to do is to do it quickly and quickly. However, the actual situation in Kale County may not be able to satisfy you, so I suggest you use this method.

Another point is to be honest, and it is also for me personally, so I have a little selfishness. If you do this, you will definitely bring great employment advantages to the local area. In this way, the villagers will spend most of their time focusing on your planting contract. Without those mountain ash stomatology battles, I believe that the struggle between these two villages will be much less, and my pressure will be less."

Wu Ming nodded. In fact, Wu Ming had long seen that Ma Wenzheng did this, which must be a favorable factor. However, now seeing Ma Wenzheng being able to tell him openly is considered to be a more open-minded person: "County Ma, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. I have already said that I am willing to accept this form of cooperation, which is my own business. Whoever brings benefits and disadvantages to it will be entirely caused by objective conditions, and I have no subjective intentions in it.

But since you think this matter is good for you, I will ask you something with shamelessness. The cooperative planting project you mentioned must have a precedent. We are all laymen. At that time, I will ask you to find someone to help me draft a cooperation agreement, and then in the subsequent promotion process, help me and the villagers do more publicity work."

"No problem, this is our duty." Ma Wenzheng said: "That... Director Chen, go to the matter immediately. Xiao Zhou, now you go to the county government guesthouse and open a few rooms for Mr. Wu and the others, and ask for the best rooms."

Wu Ming might have been polite in the past, but now Wu Ming is very clear that Ma Wenzheng did this to accumulate some political achievements for himself. Since doing this is good for him, he should say that it is also true.

You can save money when opening a room. Although I don’t care much about money now, the money is not blown by the strong wind. If someone helps me spend it, why do you have to spend it yourself?

After arriving at the guesthouse, Wu Ming had just closed the door and planned to rest when he heard a knock at the door. He opened the door and saw that nothing unexpected happened. It was Li Mufei and Song.

Wu Ming looked at the two of them and laughed: "What's wrong? What's the matter? Come to me so anxiously?"

"Wu Ming, have you taken the wrong medicine?" Li Mufei said: 'This matter is understood by Ma, who regards you as a Kaizi, and uses you as his shield. If you spend money, you will bear the risk, and it is his who will make a profit."

Wu Ming looked at Song: "Do you think so too?"

Song nodded: "To be honest, I do think so, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wu, you will be really fooled. Do you have any other plans to use this to flatter Ma Wenzheng? No, to be honest, your current strength is indeed not taken seriously by a department official. Ma Wenzheng is just a county magistrate in a remote area. Is it worthy of your favor to him like this?"

Wu Ming smiled: "It's getting late, it's time to have supper. By the way, when I came here last time, I remembered that the barbecue here seemed very good, otherwise I'll take you to try it."

"Wu Ming, when is it now, can you tell me something serious?" Li Mufei was a little anxious.

Wu Ming smiled: "Yes, I'm just talking about serious business now. If there is anything more important than eating, let's go, I'm almost starving to death."

After saying that, Wu Ming took Song and Li Mufei out. As soon as he left the door of the guesthouse, Wu Ming saw the two cars before being parked at the door. The driver stood beside him and chatted with the guard at the guesthouse smoking a cigarette. When he saw Wu Ming coming out, he rushed over: 'Mr. Wu, are you going out?'

Wu Ming nodded: ‘Yes, I’m going out, what’s wrong?’

"County Ma said we would like to invite you to the evening." The driver said, 'He also said that we would wait here. You come from afar. If it is inconvenient to go out without a car, let us be on standby at any time.'

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said to Song and Li Mufei: "You see, County Ma can be considered sincere to us, but the driver, why don't you say hello to County Ma and say we still have something to do now and we won't have dinner together tonight. After our project is confirmed, I will invite County Ma at the celebration banquet and have a good drink."

The driver looked a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to disobey Wu Ming's intentions. He called County Mayor Ma's secretary Xiao Zhou. After that, Wu Ming said: "Last time, Director Kong from your investment promotion office seemed to have told us that the barbecue in your Lao Bayi seems to be very good. After I ate it, I feel that it is endless aftertaste. This time I want to take my two friends to go there again, so I'll trouble you."

The driver nodded repeatedly and took Wu Ming directly to the restaurant. After a few people finished, the driver consciously returned to the car and waited for Wu Ming in the car.

Wu Ming asked someone to serve some wine and food, and spoke: "I know what you two think."

Li Mufei snorted, picked up the wine glass in anger and drank all the wine inside, robbing it to cure her cough: "My God, what kind of wine is this? Didn't it mean that people here prohibit alcohol?"

Wu Ming smiled: "Where is there a restaurant that really prohibits alcohol? What do you have to say? Let's say it now."

"Hmph, I'm going to say too much." Li Mufei said: "Wu Ming, I really want to talk to you about this matter. It sounds like a bad idea to cooperate in planting, but to be honest, the agreement signed between dealers and individual farmers is basically one of the most unbinding agreements.

Because of this model alone, both dealers and growers have suffered great losses. Didn’t Panlong Town suffer such losses before? We were still in school at that time. I remember the news said that someone came to Panlong Town to purchase Pueraria, offered high prices to farmers, and paid deposits in advance. As a result, farmers in the county started to plant Pueraria. As a result, when the harvest season was the same, the other party’s company disappeared directly. Later, someone sued the company and found that the company had gone bankrupt.

Later, those Pueraria roots can only be processed at a low price, which is not as good as key vegetables. You should have an impression of this."

Wu Ming smiled and nodded: "How could I forget this? I was in the first year of high school at that time, and my family was anxious about my tuition. When I heard that this could make money, I signed the contract and directly gave you a deposit of 300 yuan per acre of land. My mother went to sign the contract directly. Our family had a total of 5 acres of land and a deposit of 1,500 yuan. I used this money to pay the tuition for the second semester."

"Yes, but later, my uncle was from the county police station at that time. He had investigated. Although the company that came to sign the contract with you went bankrupt, the boss behind the company had nothing to do. Later, he sent him to buy those kudzu roots at a low price, they were all from their group." Li Mufei said: 'That's how it is, the kudzu roots per acre were sold in the end, and they were almost not enough for fertilizer and irrigation fees!'

Wu Ming nodded: "Yes, this incident almost made my mother crazy, but fortunately, someone later found out that matter seemed to have held the boss responsible, right?"

"That's a big deal. If it's really a matter of investigation, can you get compensation?" Li Mufei said: 'This is what my uncle told me. Look, even if the farmers suffer losses, the local government will be responsible for supporting them. At that time, the loss will be a loss.

Now your position relationship has changed. You are the company boss and they are the growers. Think about it, if the growers break the contract, who will the county government help you? Even if you sue the local court and you will win, just relying on the bad morals of these unruly people, can they compensate you for the losses?’

Wu Ming smiled: "Yes, yes, you said everything right. Song, what do you have to say? Let's hold a criticism meeting today, and say everything you need to criticize me. I will correct it together afterwards."

"Wu Ming, why can't you be more serious?" Li Mufei got angry: "I'm a real person."

Song also sighed: "Mr. Wu, I mean the same as Li Mufei, and I also think you did this inappropriately."

Wu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since you all say that, then I will tell you what I think.

You all think that if I sign a contract with them, I will only restrict me in the end, but not these growers. In the end, not only will it delay my affairs, but the deposit I send will also be wasted. Is this what it means?"

Both of them nodded: ‘That’s what we mean, it doesn’t matter if the deposit is thrown away. Anyway, Wu Ming is rich now, but you have to know that if you delay production, the impact will be great.’

Wu Ming said: "The reason why I promised Ma Wenzheng's statement is nothing more than that I have confidence that they will never do this!"

Li Mufei was stunned for a moment: ‘Why, what is your reason? Let’s hear it?’

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Actually it's very simple. Think about it, the grapes we need are massive, not just ten tons and twenty tons, right?"

"That's right." Li Mufei said: "It's because of the large amount that you can't put all the eggs in one basket."

Wu Ming smiled: "Do you think Kale County has such a large basket that can hold all my eggs? No need to ask, there will definitely be no less than a hundred farmers who will sign a contract with me. In this case, even if there are one or two, five or six, or even ten or twenty companies breach the contract, will this have a great impact on me?"

Li Mufei was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean..."

"Yes, I believe you know, too." Wu Ming said: "They may breach the contract, but they will never breach the contract all. Because my plantation is here, they can see the benefits of the plantation, and there is a benefit that drives them to make money from me, rather than not being able to get a penny after breach of the contract."

"But this risk is still a bit too great." Li Mufei said: "After all, your agreement is too binding."

"Then I'll give you an example. If we buy land for a high price," Wu Ming said: "That is, we plant grapes for ourselves. We have a large number of skilled workers in Panlong County, but after all, the water far away does not save the near fire. We have to recruit plantation employees locally at that time. In this way, our costs will increase.

But the final result, you have also said that the local water and soil conditions are difficult to control. If there is a problem with our own hands, we will not even have the right to recover.

So, this method may be a bit risky, but it is actually the best conditions we can achieve at this stage. Besides, after the contract is signed, I will take some special technical teams to come over to supervise and urge them, and provide technical guidance at the same time. The ultimate risk is actually not great."
