Just when President Sun was furious, Xu Dahuohai was convening the first plenary meeting of the provincial capital branch of the Sanma Town Farmers' League. At the meeting, representatives from each village gave speeches.

A representative from one of the villages said, "Mr. Xu, Chairman Sun's people recently came to us and said that they could increase the purchase price, exempt us from market management fees, and even provide us with rent-free stalls."

Chairman Xiao Xu could see that the village representative was actually tempted, after all, the conditions offered by Chairman Sun were really high. Of course, they could not change their minds at this time, as they had already signed the agreement to join the Farmers' Alliance.

In this regard, Chairman Xiao Xu can actually understand their thoughts.

It’s like you sold a product for ten dollars, and someone came to you to buy it for twenty dollars right after. Anyone would feel regretful.

This is normal. Businessmen naturally aim to make more money. If it’s not for making money, is it for charity?

But there is one thing that these people don't understand.

Chairman Xiao Xu said:

"After we leave, they will give you rent-free stalls and raise the purchase price for you. This is not because they have a change of heart or because they have become good people, but because we have been here."

Some people were thoughtful, some suddenly realized, and some laughed coldly:

"Did you forget what happened when Big Head Sun pushed down the purchase price to such a low level and charged you a high entrance fee? Now that he is raising the purchase price and giving you a rent-free stall, are you eager to lick Big Head Sun's stinky feet?"

"If you want to withdraw from the Farmers' Alliance, hurry up! If you leave early, Sun Datou will definitely throw away some meaty bones. I, Old Meng, don't want to associate with people like you!"

"I, Old Du, don't even bother!"

"It's the long-haired, short-sighted people in the village who are talking nonsense. They don't understand this principle. They think that the conditions offered by Sun Datou are good and profitable. How do they know that Sun Datou will be a good man for no reason? He just wants to disintegrate us and control us again! Humph, today we eat two taels of his rice, and tomorrow he will cut a pound of our meat!"

"I'll go back and scold them! Wake them up!"

"I'll go back and talk to my fellow villagers! It's too short-sighted right now!"

"President Sun, who is he? How dare he compare with Chairman Xu? Our village, young and old, men and women, are all firmly united around Chairman Xu! We have no second thoughts! Right, Chairman Xu?" The representative of Wei Zhuang Village, Old Wei, looked loyally at the chairman.

Chairman Xiao Xu nodded with satisfaction. What he said was so sincere... Of course, if we didn't take into account that Chairman Xiao Xu had just visited Wei Zhuang Village yesterday and invested 500,000 yuan in their village's specialty shrimp farming and distributed the money to every villager, then his words would be even more sincere.

But,

——There is no hatred or love without reason in this world.

Chairman Xiao Xu does not believe in kindness and loyalty, simplicity and honesty, nor does he like moral kidnapping or empty promises. He likes to speak with facts and to spend money directly.

Real money is worth a thousand words!

The first plenary meeting of the provincial capital branch of the Sanma Town Farmers' Alliance was held. Chairman Xiao Xu used his food strategy as usual and gave each guest a special lunch box so that they could fill it with food to take home.

In addition, this time an extra snack set of four pieces, namely, egg cake, mung bean cake, yokan and egg yolk crisp, was added, which was newly launched by the food research and development department of Tianya Village Food Store. The guests were so happy that their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.

Mr. Xu really is... he ate and took things, and even gave us meal coupons, which made us feel embarrassed.

This little benefit is really nothing to those rich bosses, at most they just think it's a bit interesting. But for these rural farmers, it's really great.

Chairman Xiao Xu not only won their reputation, but also the reputation of their wives and children.

This "good" that the folks can truly feel has become an indestructible grassroots support in the long run. This is the real strength of the mass line.

The power of the masses is the most powerful force!

…

After expanding the membership of the Farmers’ Alliance, Chairman Xiao Xu began to seriously consider the expansion of the Tianya Village Fresh Food Supermarket.

The two sectors, the agricultural alliance and the fresh food supermarket, basically complement each other and develop together.

The sales of the two fresh food supermarkets he opened now are very stable. Coupled with Boss Xia's online and overseas channels, as well as the high consumption of Tianya Food Store, the productivity of the previous Nongmeng is actually sufficient to cope with it, and it may even need to purchase more goods from other places.

But the Nongmeng has now expanded into a branch alliance, and Chairman Xiao Xu feels that if nothing unexpected happens, more villages that have been exploited by channel dealers will come to join in the future.

As a result, the sales channels at hand are no longer sufficient.

Chairman Xiao Xu thought about it and called Brother Shen.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry to bother you. There's something I don't quite understand and I want to ask you."

"Just tell me what's going on."

"I remember that when you came to me last time, you said that I should not open more than four fresh food supermarkets in the provincial capital. But I recently did some research and found that President Sun is very interesting. He has far more than four fresh food supermarkets, as well as several farmers' markets and even a fresh food logistics trading center. How did he do it... Brother Shen should know President Sun, right?"

"Of course I know him. This guy... doesn't follow the rules."

"Oh?" Xu Shang understood something and said, "It means that he did something unruly before, but why didn't you brothers teach him a lesson?"

Boss Shen chuckled and said, "Rules are rules, but the truly powerful ones don't follow them. Let me be frank, Boss Sun has a strong backer, so everyone acquiesced in the beginning."

"Besides, he didn't follow the rules when he was fighting for his territory, but now he follows the rules very well. Everyone can save face and deceive themselves, pretending that nothing happened."

Xu Shangxin thought that this was indeed quite self-deceptive.

Moreover, after President Sun conquered the territory, he certainly abided by the rules. After all, he had transformed himself from a rule breaker to a vested interest in the rules. How could he not abide by the rules?

Xu Shang then asked, "Brother Shen, you told me about the share last time. If, I mean, if I accidentally kill Chairman Sun, his share of the fresh food market... will it be mine?"

"If you can really kill President Sun... let me put it this way, if you can deal with his powerful backers, no one will dare to touch his resources without your approval. If anyone dares to touch them, you can just beat him to death, and no one can say anything!"

"But I must remind you, if you really want to compete with President Sun for resources, there is one thing -

"You must not do that!"
