"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"You guys are all going to turn the world upside down!"

Gu Chengde, the leader of Group 1, and Zhan Baoxing, the leader of Group 2, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, stopped the aggressive crowd.

He ran too fast and too hastily, and the slippers on Zhan Baoxing's feet slipped to his ankles. He sat on the ground and pulled down his slippers while saying, "You want claws? Are you rebelling?"

"Brother Baoxing! You said this. The village set up a cooperative, they made money, got benefits, and offended the drug store owner, but in the end we have to take the knife. Why?"

"That's right, we must ask Murakami to give an explanation!"

"Give us the money!"

"Isn't that Huo a powerful guy? Tell him to find the pharmaceutical factory and buy ours too!"

"You are ugly, but you are dreaming!" Zhan Baoxing finally pulled on his slippers, stood up and kicked the man who was making the most trouble. "Why don't you ask Murakami to help you sell at a higher price than the cooperative?"

"That's even better..."

The man muttered something in a low voice, and then when Zhan Baoxing instantly flew into a rage, he cowered and shrank his neck, "We are all from the same village, why should the cooperative take all the benefits!"

Zhan Baoxing said coldly: "If you don't agree, go join a cooperative!"

Everyone fell silent. If they could join the cooperative, they would have done so long ago. There was no need to be so anxious.

"Everyone, listen to me for a few words."

Gu Chengde was much calmer. When Zhan Baoxing calmed down the crowd, he stepped forward and said earnestly, "In fact, we all know in our hearts that we don't understand the situation of the cooperative clearly. If we don't join, we will definitely join them if they are ready next year. So to speak, we are fence-sitters. We are in the wrong. We have no choice but to accept the current situation."

"How can that be possible?"

"No way! I need an explanation!"

Everyone immediately started to make a fuss. It was okay to ask them to admit their mistakes, no matter how big the mistake was, and they could even spit on their faces, but it was absolutely not okay to let them suffer any loss!

Zhan Baoxing yelled with a straight face, "Shut up and listen to Brother De!"

Gu Chengde continued, "Of course, we can't just let this go. It's not easy for us to earn a few dollars a year. But it's no use going to the village. We are on the village committee and we know the situation. So, Baoxing and I will go to the town and have a good talk with the drugstore owner. After all, we have been friends for so many years, and we also have several thousand kilograms of drugs. If we ask a few more words, maybe there will be a turnaround. Baoxing, what do you think?"

Zhan Baoxing scratched his messy hair, then looked at everyone, "Go back and wait for news. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will negotiate for benefits and he won't get a share!"

In this way, a possible disturbance was temporarily resolved, and the two team leaders rode their motorcycles to the town.

But when we got to the town, even with good cigarettes, sweet words and a smile, the drug dealer still didn't give in at all.

After watching the two team leaders leave, Liu Shuai smiled and said to Zhou Gui, "Brother, these peasants are interesting. They actually think that we can raise their wages just by saying a few nice words. What are they thinking?"

Zhou Gui sighed, "The first way didn't work!"

Liu Shuai was stunned for a moment, and quickly consoled him, "We still have Gu Gang. We've given up so much capital and earned so little, so we don't have to worry about those idiots getting greedy for money."

Zhou Gui rubbed his brows and said, "I hope so!"

As Liu Shuai was speaking, his cell phone rang. He looked at the landline number on the caller ID and answered it with a frown, "Hello?"

Soon he hummed a few times, hung up the phone, and said to Zhou Gui: "Gu Gang came to town and asked me to meet him. There should be news over there."

"Go ahead." Zhou Gui waved his hand.

Liu Shuai left in a hurry, and soon came back in a hurry, but his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

"Brother, it's bad. Gu Gang said that he contacted many people from Group 3 and originally agreed to sell to about 20 households, but the village official went door to door to persuade them. Now, out of more than 30 households, only about 10 are willing to sell the herbs to him."

Liu Shuai looked anxious, "Both of our plans have failed!"

Zhou Gui frowned and pursed his lips, leaning back in his chair with his chin in his hand, tapping the tabletop with his index finger rhythmically, lost in thought.

After a long while, he slowly said, "If under such circumstances, we still succeed in getting those people from their cooperative to sell the herbs to us, do you think that village official can still hold on?"

Liu Shuai shook his head, "How is this possible?"

"How is that impossible! We have an opportunity right now." Zhou Gui picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Go and tell the two team leaders to come back tomorrow, and the three of us will have a good talk with them together!"

......

The next day, Gu Chengde and Zhan Baoxing, who thought there was no hope, arrived as scheduled and came to a private room of a teahouse. They unexpectedly saw another fat man in the room in addition to the three familiar drug store owners.

Zhou Gui smiled and said, "Let me introduce you two. This is Mr. Chen, who does medicinal materials business in Jingcheng."

Gu Chengde and Zhan Baoxing looked at each other, and Zhan Baoxing said, "Are you fighting the drug store owner that Gangwazi mentioned?"

The fat man smiled and said, "You are talking about Gu Gang, right? Yes, he is the one I asked to help me collect some medicinal herbs."

Zhou Gui said, "Originally, after your cooperative was established, the three of us planned to change our business after the two years. However, Boss Chen needed a batch of goods recently and he needed them urgently. We have been dealing with him for many years, so we gave him a favor and let him go to your cooperative to collect the goods. He can collect as much as he can."
