"I sign!"
Lao Yuantou was the first to stand up.
"Count me in!"
“I want to sign too!”
Seeing the villagers putting their fingerprints on the contract one after another, Zhou Changshan became anxious: "Wait! I...my land is also suitable for growing medicinal herbs..."
Chen Changyuan smiled slightly: "Second Uncle, if you want to join the cooperative, you are welcome at any time."
On the way back to the village, the truck was packed with excited villagers.
Even the Zhou family's relatives no longer had the hostility they had before.
"Long term,"
Old Yuan came over and whispered, "Looks like those rumormongers are going to be silenced!"
Chen Changyuan has already made plans. The cooperative will be divided into two lines. One is his medicinal herb planting base, and the other is to allow villagers to harvest medicinal herbs on their own and sell them to him.
After returning to the village, Chen Changyuan immediately called a meeting of all the villagers who had joined the cooperative.
The courtyard of the village committee was crowded with expectant villagers.
"Old Yuantou, you will be responsible for daily production scheduling."
Chen Changyuan patted Lao Yuantou's shoulder and said, "You have high prestige in the village, and everyone trusts you."
The old man smiled naively: "Don't worry, I promise to arrange everything properly."
Chen Changyuan nodded and turned to the other villagers: "Our cooperative adopts the 'unified management, independent operation' model. Everyone still cultivates their own land, but the medicinal herb varieties, planting techniques and sales channels are all arranged by the cooperative."
"That's best!"
A villager stood up and said, "I'm afraid of leaving the land to someone else to take care of."
"Yes, yes, that way we can feel at ease."
Other villagers also echoed.
Just then, Zhou Changshan walked in with a few people from the Zhou family.
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes flickered: "In the long run, we also want to join the cooperative."
Chen Changyuan glanced at him: "Second Uncle, are you sure? Didn't you say I was lying a few days ago?"
Zhou Changshan rubbed his hands awkwardly: "This is...this is just lack of knowledge. Now we want to follow suit!"
"Okay."
Chen Changyuan sneered, "But according to the rules, those who join later have to pay a fifty-yuan membership fee."
"Fifty?!"
Zhou Changshan's face changed. "Why? They didn't pay!"
Chen Changyuan said calmly, "They are founding members, so naturally they don't have to pay. If Second Uncle thinks it's too expensive, he doesn't have to join."
Zhou Changshan was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to lose his temper.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out fifty yuan: "Here you go!"
"Hey, wait."
Chen Changyuan suddenly said, "I forgot to mention that the membership fee requires two guarantees."
Zhou Changshan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"That is, you need two veteran members to guarantee that you can grow good medicinal herbs. If you can't, the guarantors have to compensate for the losses."
Chen Changyuan glanced around and asked, "Who is willing to guarantee Uncle Zhou Er?"
The whole audience was silent.
Zhou Changshan stood there awkwardly, the smile on his face gradually freezing.
After returning to the village, Chen Changyuan immediately called a meeting of all the villagers who had joined the cooperative.
The courtyard of the village committee was crowded with people, even the Zhou family who usually treated him coldly came.
"The cooperative is divided into two groups,"
Chen Changyuan stood on the steps and said, "Old Yuantou will be responsible for the daily production scheduling of the first group, and I will be responsible for the technical guidance of the second group."
"What about the dividends?"
Zhou Changshan asked impatiently, with greed flashing in his eyes.
Chen Changyuan glanced at him and said, "Each member can manage their own land independently, and when selling medicinal herbs to the cooperative, they are paid at market price. The cooperative provides technical guidance and sales channels, and takes a 5% management fee."
"So, the land is still ours?"
Someone asked.
"certainly,"
Chen Changyuan nodded. "You can plant whatever herbs you want and in whatever quantities you want. The cooperative will be responsible for purchasing them."
The old man stood up and said, "I think this method is good. It can not only guarantee everyone's interests, but also unify management."
But Zhou Changshan persisted: "What about technical guidance? What do you know about medicinal herbs?"
"Tomorrow I will take you to the back mountain to have a look,"
Chen Changyuan said calmly, "The medicinal herbs I grow there are growing much better than those in your fields."
Zhou Changshan's face changed. He had been to Chen Changyuan's medicinal herb field, and those medicinal herbs were indeed growing very well.
At this time, the village chief Wang Fugui also stood up and said: "I think this matter needs to be discussed carefully..."
Chen Changyuan sneered in his heart, thinking that Wang Fugui must want to get a piece of the pie.
But he was prepared: "The village chief is right. Our cooperative will pay a 3% management fee to the village every year. Is that okay with you?"
Wang Fugui's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's do it!"
Just as the matter was about to be settled, Zhou Changshan jumped out to make trouble again: "What if the medicinal herbs can't be sold?"
"I signed a long-term contract with the county pharmaceutical company,"
Chen Changyuan took out the contract and waved it in front of everyone. "I guarantee that the purchase price will be 20% higher than the market price. If you don't believe me, you can ask Director Zhang."
Zhang Qinghai stood up to testify at the right time, and Zhou Changshan then shut up in disappointment.
After the meeting, Lao Yuantou excitedly pulled Chen Changyuan to his side and said, "Changyuan, this is a really great move! It leaves those who are dissatisfied speechless."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "Second Uncle, you have to organize the people quickly. I want to teach everyone how to identify medicinal herbs tomorrow."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Lao Yuantou patted his chest and made a promise.
