Chapter 543 - 543 Situation
543 Situation
In front of the greenhouses in Qinghe Village, there were many small vendors like him. Their attitudes were the same as Zhang Quan’s. These people were fearless. They were the best choice for the residents of Qinghe Village.
Wen An was currently sitting in his office. He kept calling the distributors who used to have a good relationship with Qinghe Village.
However, the effect wasn’t that great. The price they offered was only slightly higher than Zhang Quan and the others.
It also faintly revealed that they had no choice.
“Chief, I think these people are deliberately making things difficult for us.” Wen An’s assistant couldn’t stand it anymore. Wen An had been on the phone for more than two hours, but no one had stepped forward to help Qinghe Village.
Wen An put down his phone, took off his glasses, and massaged his eyes.
“They have their own difficulties,” Wen An said softly.
“Difficulties. They have no principles!” the assistant said unhappily.
“Don’t worry, things will be resolved eventually.” Wen An put on his glasses again and said with a smile.
The residents of Qinghe Village were worried about their income. If they haggled with distributors, he, as the Chief, would be under even more pressure.
Even so, Wen An did not think that his choice to work with Chu Ning was a wrong one.
“We’ll hold on for a while longer. I’ve already contacted a few reliable distributors. They’re still willing to accept our agricultural products. Although the price is a little lower than before, it’s much better than those small suppliers. The price is not suppressed to that great a degree. It’s reasonable that we’ll suffer a loss during this period of time,” Wen An continued.
After the agricultural products trade ended in the morning, the people who signed the labor contract with Chu Ning were still fine. Even if the profits from the agricultural products were not much, their income was guaranteed.
Chu Ning gave them an annual salary of more than 40,000 yuan, which was enough for them to live comfortably.
However, there were still a large number of residents of Qinghe Village who had not signed a labor cooperation agreement with Chu Ning. When they saw this scene, they were immediately unhappy.
At this time, there were even rumors circulating in Qinghe Village that Wen An had received benefits from Chu Ning, so Qinghe Village was forced to work with Chu Ning.
It didn’t matter who started the rumor. What was important was that Qinghe Village was no longer united.
Especially since there were traces of cannabis planted in Qinghe Village not long ago. Many people suspected that it was done by Wen An.
The guidance of public opinion was very simple. This was obviously a rumor deliberately spread by someone.
However, with Qinghe Village being plagued by internal and external problems, it was not known how many people believed it.
The older generation of residents of Qinghe Village felt that Wen An was still an outsider.
Wen An could only lead Qinghe Village to prosperity. Once there was a problem in this process, he would be greeted with overwhelming doubts.
In fact, he had already done well enough. The government had also noticed his personal ability. As early as a year ago, a government leader had suggested that Wen An go somewhere else to take on the position of town mayor, but Wen An had rejected it.
He was now facing a huge challenge.
At noon.
A few residents of Qinghe Village were gathered under a big tree to enjoy the shade.
“This can’t go on. If the price continues to be so low, we won’t be able to survive. They’re deliberately not giving us a way out!” a dark-skinned middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry, Zhang Dong. Maybe if we hold on for a while longer, things will take a turn for the better. ” A resident of Qinghe Village also had on a solemn expression. He was answering Zhang Dong, but he was also telling himself this.
“We still have to hold on for a while? We’re not wage earners. Selling these agricultural products is our only source of income. We depend on this! Some time ago, the people of Houtu Village were jealous of us. They joined forces with the people of other villages to cut off the water source. The more I think about it, the angrier I am. If it weren’t for the fact that I was focused on making money, who would let them off so easily! Also, the Chief is too cowardly. If he had led us to hit back at them, we wouldn’t have…”
The more Zhang Dong spoke, the more agitated he became. However, he was interrupted.
“Zhang Dong, it’s not good for you to talk about Village Chief Wen behind his back, right?” Some of the residents of Qinghe Village spoke with unhappy expressions.
