"What did you hear?"
“The cooperative is going bankrupt.”
Gu Chengrong remained calm, his eyelids not even twitching, "It's half past nine now."
"I didn't ask you about the time. I was talking about the cooperative."
Gu Chengrong finally showed some expression on his face. It was not panic, but a kind of contempt, full of intellectual superiority. "The meeting will start at ten o'clock. Won't we know whether it's yellow or not by then? Why do we have to guess here? Are you scaring yourself?"
Everyone was stunned. That’s right!
Anyway, the meeting will start in half an hour, so we’ll know whether it’s a failure or not then, right?
After being awakened by Gu Chengrong's words, everyone calmed down. The dam gradually quieted down, and everyone waited anxiously for the meeting to begin in silence.
Just as the situation calmed down, a motorcycle drove over. The young man holding the steering wheel asked curiously, "Hey, so many people, what are you doing?"
Everyone turned their heads and recognized that this was Liu Shuai, the follower of Mr. Zhou, the town's medicine dealer. He followed Mr. Zhou to collect salvia miltiorrhiza every year, so he was considered a familiar face.
So many acquaintances came forward to say hello, but in fact they just wanted to have a cigarette.
Xu Yanting's husband Gu Gang rushed in the fastest, holding the cigarette Liu Shuai handed over with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, you don't know how to talk too much. We want to set up a cooperative, and today is the founding meeting!"
Liu Shuai was surprised. "Hasn't Mayor Wang already called for the resignation (cancellation) of the cooperative?"
"No way! If the get out of class is over, why would you call us over?"
"Why would I cheat you? If your cooperative is successful, why would I come here?" Liu Shuai smiled and waved his hand, "Go back quickly and take me to see your land. If it's appropriate, I'll raise the price this year!"
"Really?"
"It's going to go up a lot! Murakami said the pharmaceutical factories in the provincial capital are offering higher prices than you!"
Liu Shuai snorted and took out a stack of bills from his pocket. "You talk nicely, but why did the cooperative fail? Here are the real bills. If you want to take them, go ahead!"
After being provoked by such a simple move, everyone immediately became restless and wanted to follow Liu Shuai.
"Stand up!"
With a cold shout, Gu Chengrong walked over with a sullen face, "Whether the cooperative will succeed or not is not up to you, a young man. We have all signed the consent form. Let's talk about it after the meeting!"
He looked at Liu Shuai, "You make your money, don't be a troublemaker here! Get away from me! From now on, I won't sell you any of the herbs in my house!"
Liu Shuai snorted with disdain, "Old man, who do you think you are? You are nothing! I won't take you if you want to sell me out!"
After saying that, he smiled coldly and said loudly, "Didn't you say that this cooperative is open to voluntary joining and voluntary withdrawal? If you withdraw from the cooperative now, I will reward you 100 yuan on the spot. As long as you withdraw, I will pay you immediately."
After saying that, he patted the stack of bills in his hand and looked at Gu Chengrong provocatively.
