"That's not necessarily true. Our rice is good, and they must be anxious if they can't give it to their partners. It's very likely that they will temporarily offer a high price in order to snatch our rice back."

"They will temporarily give us a high price and monopolize our rice. Then you can sell the rice to them again. After cooperating with them for a few times, they will lower the price back." Lu Youxi said, "By then, you won't be able to do anything."

"In business, the most important thing is honesty. If the relationship between me and our village is not like this now, we are just an ordinary cooperative relationship. I gave you a high price, and you sold rice to me several times, and others gave you a higher price. You broke the contract with me and sold the rice to others. Later, they lowered the price, and you came back to me. Do you think I will still buy your rice when you go back on your word and are so fickle? If I don't buy it, the factory will be able to lower your price however it wants?"

After hearing what Lu Youxi said, the village chief almost broke out in a cold sweat.

His first reaction was that it was fortunate that Lu Youxi had a good relationship with them.

But then, the village chief realized that it was precisely because Lu Youxi had a good relationship with them that they could not go back on their word to Lu Youxi.

In fact, Lu Youxi doesn't have to care about them and Xingcun at all.

He has already brought his family to the capital, his business is thriving, and he has even started working with large corporations. There is no need for him to take on this thankless job.

To be honest, how much money can Lu Youxi make from the rice of Hexing Village? "But we have to look at things in the long run. Even if they give a high price temporarily, even if they continue to give a high price in the future, as long as our rice enters the supermarket in the future, the price will definitely be higher." said the village chief.

"Yes, you know, but some people may not be able to see the long term." Lu Youxi said, "Some people only see the immediate benefits. If they think the factory offers them a higher price, they will sell it to the factory."

The village chief remained silent, because he knew that there were indeed such people.

As Lu Youxi said, not all the people in their village are honest and decent.

There are the two elders of the Lu family, and people like Lu Zhenjia and Ge Guifen who are greedy for money and short-sighted.

There are also people like Fan Shugen who are sneaky and cunning.

There are also those who don't like to work. They point to their wives working hard in the fields while they just enjoy themselves at home, and even scold them if they are not satisfied.

The village chief said in a deep voice: "I will explain this matter to everyone in advance and remind them not to be blinded by the immediate benefits."

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Those who listen to advice will listen to it. If they really don't listen to it, you don't need to persuade them anymore. Just let them sell it. When the price here increases in the future, they will know it."

"Okay." The village chief nodded.

"So you see, do we still have to rely on you for the company's business?" Lu Youxi said, "Besides, I'm too busy to handle it by myself right now. If I contact the supermarket and talk business with them, it would be safer if you accompany me. You also know the details of our village's rice, such as the output and quality. When they ask about it, you can answer them fluently, which is much better than me."

The village chief thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll help you then."

"Please see when it is convenient for you to come over and I will buy you a ticket." Lu Youxi said.

"How can I let you buy tickets?" said the village chief.

"This is different. Since we are going to set up a company, this kind of thing is a business trip, and you can't pay for it yourself." Lu Youxi said, "Besides, you are busy for the village, for everyone's affairs, and you have to pay for it yourself. How can this be possible?"

"Girl, do you think I don't know that you spend your own money? Our company hasn't even been established yet, so where is the public account?" The village chief is not stupid.

"At worst, I can talk to the supermarket about something and you can help me block the drinking when we get to the table. I can't drink much, but I know you can, so when the time comes, it will all depend on you." Lu Youxi said again.

As long as there is something he can help with, the village chief feels a lot more at ease.

"Okay." The village chief stopped arguing with Lu Youxi.

After hanging up the phone, the village chief saw his wife rushing in.

"Let me tell you, the factory has secretly contacted people in our village, saying they want to buy their rice at a high price." The village chief's wife said to the village chief.

Fortunately, Lu Youxi had just said it, so the village chief was still calm.

The village chief said with a serious face: "Yuki is still smart. She thought of it a long time ago. She just called me and said this."

"But the price offered by the factory is higher than Yuki's, and we can't stop others. We can't prevent them from making money." The village head's wife said, "But I support Yuki."

"When our village was in trouble, why didn't that factory charge a high price? Instead, it offered us a low price. It was Youxi who helped our village. At that time, Youxi himself hadn't made much money yet, which is very different from now."

"More than that." The village chief told his wife what Lu Youxi said, "Tell me, are the people in that factory really bad?"

If they didn't come to me privately and came directly to me, they might not necessarily lower the price afterwards as Yuki said.

But they contacted people in our village privately and instigated a few people who were greedy for money, which clearly showed their bad intentions.

"What should we do? Not everyone will listen to you." The village head's wife said worriedly.

"It all depends on human effort." The village chief sighed, took the key and said, "I'll go to the village radio station and tell the convener about this first."

"Hey, go ahead."

The village chief went to the village radio station and used a loudspeaker to ask each family to send a representative who could make the decision and to gather at the small square in the village.

In the summer, movies are occasionally shown in the small square at night.

So the small square can accommodate a lot of people.

The village chief was waiting in the small square, and in order to speak clearly, he even brought a speaker and a microphone and installed them.

When everyone was present, the village chief said, "I heard that the factory contacted people in our village privately recently and said that they would buy the rice from you at a high price."

"I called everyone here today to tell you about our future plans," said the village chief. "Yuki has registered a trademark for our village's rice and is preparing to start selling our rice in her restaurant."

"Our rice has received particularly good response from restaurants."
