"This kid is no good! He's been idle all day! Public Security Comrades, we must do what we must do! Our village firmly supports him!"

Dazhu was completely desperate and struggled like a mad dog: "Chen Changyuan! It's all your fault! You will die a miserable death!"

Changyuan looked at him coldly, sneering in his heart: When you were harming me, why didn’t you think about this day?

The police took Dazhu away, and Xiaoya followed behind to take a statement.

The villagers were talking about it, some sighed, and some shook their heads.

The opportunity has come!

Changyuan stood up and said, "Fellow villagers, this incident has sounded the alarm for us! From now on, the cultivation of medicinal herbs must be strictly managed! I suggest re-registration, unified technical guidance, and quality assurance!"

Qinghai responded immediately: "Yes! We must standardize management! In the long run, I'll leave this matter to you!"

The villagers looked at Dazhu who was taken away, and then looked at Changyuan. How could there be any contempt in their eyes?

Full of awe!

Who would have thought that the unlucky guy who was kicked out by the Zhou family has now become the most promising person in the village!

Lao Yuantou patted Changyuan on the shoulder and said, "Changyuan, this time you have finally taught those who looked down on you a lesson. But..."

"Don't worry about the cooperative, Uncle Yuan! I have a plan in mind."

The next morning, village committee.

Medicinal Herb Growers Conference, Calling!

The villagers came one after another, each with a strange look on their face.

Everyone was worried about what happened to the Zhou family.

"Uncles and aunts!"

Chang Yuan stood on the stage, his eyes sweeping over the crowd. "Everyone knows the seriousness of Zhou Dazhu's situation, right? If we hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

The audience was buzzing, and someone muttered, "Is he trying to become the boss of the medicinal herbs industry?"

Chang Yuan got straight to the point: "I know what you're thinking! I'm not here to be the boss, I'm here to help you grow good medicinal herbs and sell them at a good price!"

Qinghai immediately responded, "On behalf of the county pharmaceutical company, I want to make a statement. As long as the medicinal materials are of good quality, the price will definitely be the highest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.

But some people still refused to accept: "Why should we listen to your orders?"

Changyuan remained calm and composed: "I'm not giving orders! Technical training is free! High-quality seedlings are free! Join the cooperative and enjoy all the benefits!"

"How do we distribute dividends?"

An old man asked.

"By area, by output! The accounts are published every month!"

Changyuan took out the charter and said, "Everyone, take a look!"

Wang Fugui also spoke up: "I support it! Changyuan is young and promising, and he understands the technology. Letting him take the lead is a good choice!"

The audience started talking again.

The old man suddenly said: "I have two acres of land, I will be the first to join!"

“Add me in!”

"Count me in!"

"I have a lot of land, so I'll join in too!"

More and more people responded, and Changyuan's mouth corners curled up.

But in the corner, several families had gloomy faces, especially Zhou Chen Changhe's relatives, who looked unfriendly!

Chen Changyuan thought: The road of cooperative is not easy!

After the meeting, Chen Changyuan and Zhang Qinghai sat in the village committee room to discuss the details.

"Brother Qinghai, we need to set stricter standards for purchasing this batch of medicinal herbs."

Chen Changyuan took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Zhang Qinghai took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath: "What are you planning, kid?"

"The quality of medicinal materials on the market is uneven. If we can guarantee the quality, the price will naturally go up."

Chen Changyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to sign a long-term contract with the pharmaceutical company to guarantee the purchase price."

"I have to ask my leader about this."

Zhang Qinghai hesitated for a moment, "But if you can really guarantee the quality, this will probably work."

As he was speaking, the old man rushed in and said, "Changyuan, this is bad! Zhou Chen Changhe's relatives are spreading rumors in the village, saying that you want to swallow up everyone's land!"

Chen Changyuan sneered: "Sure enough, he can't sit still anymore."

"They also said you were colluding with pharmaceutical companies to enrich yourself!"

Old Yuan was so angry that he stamped his feet. "These bastards are deliberately trying to make life difficult for you!"

Zhang Qinghai slammed the table and stood up: "These people are going too far! Do you want me to go and talk to them?"

"Need not."

Chen Changyuan stood up and said, "Instead of wasting time talking, why not let them see it with their own eyes? Brother Qinghai, can you arrange for our villagers to visit the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow?"

“That’s easy.”

Zhang Qinghai nodded and said, "I'll go and say hello right away."

Early the next morning, Chen Changyuan organized the first group of villagers to join the cooperative to gather at the village entrance.

To his surprise, those Zhou family relatives who spread rumors also came and stood behind the crowd pointing and talking.

"Let's go, let's open everyone's eyes today."

Chen Changyuan said loudly.

In the courtyard of the county pharmaceutical company, a group of workers in blue work clothes are busy at work.

Chen Changyuan led the villagers into the factory, and the air was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine.

“This is our raw material workshop.”

Zhang Qinghai pointed to a row of neatly arranged shelves and said, "Look, these are all high-quality medicinal herbs we purchased."

"Oh my, this astragalus is so thick!"

A villager exclaimed as he picked up some herbs from the shelf.

Zhou Changshan, the second brother of Zhou Chen Changhe, sneered: "What's so great about it? It's just some herbs."

"Uncle Zhou Er, come and take a look."

Chen Changyuan walked calmly to a weighing platform and said, "The market price of this astragalus is three yuan per kilogram, but because it is of good quality, the pharmaceutical factory gave it four yuan and twenty yuan."

The surrounding villagers immediately started talking about it.

"So, if we grow good medicinal herbs, we can make a lot more money!"

Zhang Qinghai took over the conversation: "That's right. Our pharmaceutical company always gives priority to purchasing high-quality medicinal materials like this, and we also pay high prices."

"boast!"

Zhou Changshan was still unconvinced, "Who knows if you are fooling us?"

"Uncle, please follow me."

Chen Changyuan led everyone forward, "This is the preparation workshop. Look, the workers over there are processing medicinal materials..."

After passing through a long corridor, everyone came to a spacious and bright workshop.

Amid the roar of machines, workers are crushing, extracting and making medicinal materials into various finished medicines.

"Are these all made from the herbs we grow?"

Old Yuantou asked in surprise.

"Yes, and they are all in short supply."

Zhang Qinghai explained with a smile, "There is a huge demand for traditional Chinese medicine in hospitals now. As long as the quality is up to standard, there is no problem with sales."

A villager picked up a box from the conveyor belt and looked at it carefully: "How much is this one?"

"Retail price: two dollars and thirty cents."

Zhang Qinghai said, "The value of a good medicinal herb can be multiplied several times after processing."

Zhou Changshan's face began to look ugly.

The Zhou family relatives standing next to him also stopped talking.

After the tour, Chen Changyuan led everyone to the conference room.

Zhang Qinghai took out a contract and said, "This is a long-term supply agreement. We guarantee that all qualified medicinal materials will be purchased at a 20% premium over the market price."
