Unexpectedly, just as Ge Guifen finished speaking, the village chief, who was standing in the front and couldn't hear her at all, said: "At the same time, before I came, Youxi asked me to reassure everyone first. Youxi has negotiated a deal in the imperial capital, so the price of purchasing our Hexing rice will definitely increase, and the money given to us will be more than before."

"As for how much more, we need to calculate it and then give you the final price." The village chief said, "But you can rest assured that Yuxi will do the work. She will never let us suffer any loss."

Someone suddenly asked: "Village head, will the price we raise later be higher than the price the factory quoted us before?"

The village chief looked over and saw that it was Fan Shugen who asked the question.

At this time, Fan Shugen's eyes were rolling around, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they just happened to turn in the direction of Ge Guifen.

Now everyone in Hexing Village knows that only Ge Guifen sold rice to the factory and did not continue to cooperate with Lu Youxi.

After everyone knew about it, Ge Guifen no longer hid it and even showed off in the village.

She said the price the factory gave her was higher than Lu Youxi's.

There is no future for people like you who follow Lu Youxi.

She had advised before to give all the rice to the factory.

In the end, no one listened.

Now look at it, do you think you earn less than her? Do you regret it? Before today, Ge Guifen walked in the village with a breeze, holding her head high and showing off.

She was determined to make sure that every time the villagers saw her, they would remember that they had suffered a loss by following Lu Youxi.

Ge Guifen didn't expect that just a few days after she started showing off, the village chief brought good news today.

"Haha." The village chief laughed. He also heard from his wife how arrogant Ge Guifen was in the village these days.

"What was the factory's previous quotation? I can't remember clearly." asked the village chief.

"We get two cents more per kilogram than Youxi gave us before," Fan Shugen shouted.

The village chief didn't forget it clearly. He was just afraid that someone in the village didn't remember it clearly, so he reminded them again.

However, the village chief thought that Ge Guifen was only concerned about immediate benefits.

That factory was in such a mess, and they were still raising the price just to please Lu Youxi, but Ge Guifen was actually happy with it, even though they only raised the price by 20 cents per kilogram.

If you follow Lu Youxi, the increase will be much more than this.

The village chief smiled and said, "I don't know the exact increase, but it will definitely be more than this."

Before the village chief came, he specifically asked Lu Youxi if he could give him a rough estimate so that he would have an idea.

He would not tell the villagers, so as to avoid disappointing them if the number was not reached.

Lu Youxi gave him a conservative number.

The exact price will only be higher than this.

Even the conservative figure given by Lu Youxi is higher than the factory's current quotation.

Only Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen looked unhappy at the back of the crowd.

Just now, because of Fan Shugen, the village chief also noticed Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen.

Seeing their expressions, the village chief said to the villagers again: "Youxi has raised the price for everyone this time. I want to see if the factory can also raise the price for us?"

"Even if they can stick to Yuki's price and continue to raise it by a dime or two, if Yuki continues to increase in price, can the factory still raise its price?"

"Just looking at the price they have been giving us over the years, we can tell that the factory is not a company with a vision and is not interested in big things. There is a petty air about it everywhere. Can they continue to raise prices? I don't believe it." The village chief shook his head.

“Village chief, you used to speak in an unusual way. After going to the imperial capital, your speech now feels even more unusual.”

The village chief smiled, waved his hand and said, "I did see a lot when I went to the imperial capital."

"People who really run big businesses have big visions. They are often greedy for even the smallest profits, and as a result, they cannot accomplish anything big." The village chief smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this."

"Moreover, Youxi also asked me to tell everyone that we will have dividends at the end of the year." The village chief said, "So, not only will the unit price of our rice increase, but we will also get an extra dividend at the end of the year. I want to ask, with this kind of treatment, except for Youxi who came from our village and always thinks about our village and can do this for us, who else can do this?"

"You're counting on that factory?" The village chief sneered, "Raising the price of our rice is like killing them, and you still want them to give us dividends?"

"That's definitely not possible!" everyone shouted immediately.

"Yes! And the price that Youxi is going to pay us in the future is already higher than the factory's, and at the end of the year, they are going to give us dividends, which will be much higher than the factory's!"

"No matter how much the factory raises the price, it can't possibly exceed Yuki's."

"Of course not. Youxi wants to help us get rich and make money, so he would naturally be willing to earn less himself and let us earn more." Aunt Lin said loudly, "But what about others? What about the factory? They want to make money from us! Can they be the same as Youxi?"

“That’s right!”

"I'm ashamed. I really didn't expect that Yuki would be so sentimental and help us so much."

"She was bullied by the Lu family before, and I really regret not standing up to help her at that time. Now I want to help her, but I don’t have the ability to do so, and she doesn’t need my help." An uncle sighed.

"Village chief, how are the year-end dividends going to be distributed?" Some people are still more concerned about the dividends.

The village chief smiled and said, "Yuki said that it will be determined based on the quality and quantity of rice submitted by each household in our village."

"The more high-quality rice you provide, the more dividends you will get, and they are distributed proportionally. When the specific purchase unit price of Zanhexing rice is announced, the dividend ratio will also be announced together," explained the village chief.

"In addition, we have already signed a contract with Zhenxin Supermarket to provide Hexing rice to the supermarket. If the Hexing rice sells well, we will also produce B-grade Hexing rice."

The village chief explained to everyone the difference between Grade A rice and Grade B rice.

"This way, we don't have to sell the remaining rice to the factory at a low price." The village chief said, "I know that the factory has given us a very low price on the grounds that the quality of the remaining rice is not as good as Grade A rice. And we don't want to waste the rice, so we have to sell it."

"I came back this time to tell everyone that there is no need to rush. Let's first see how our Hexing rice is selling in the supermarket." The village chief said, "If the sales are good, Zhenxin Supermarket will stock our B-grade rice."

"By then, the purchase price of our B-grade rice will be lower than that of A-grade rice, but it will still be much higher than the price given by the factory."
