"And if the price goes up this year, the purchase price will definitely go up next year as well. In the long run, we still won't lose money!"
"It's a guaranteed profit, it's much better than making more today and losing more tomorrow!"
The bearded man had no way to refute what the crowd said. In fact, he had thought about these points, but when things really happened and he watched the red money slip away, he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart.
"The most important point is, do you think you can sell at a high price if the price goes up?"
At this moment, a villager who had been silent before spoke up, which instantly made the bearded man and Wen Xiaopeng look over.
The villager said, "Before, we planted salvia miltiorrhiza in our village, but no company came to collect it, and we didn't have the ability to transport the products to the city to sell, so we could only sell them to those drug dealers who came to collect them. How did they do it? This year, the market price of salvia miltiorrhiza is not good, and the price has dropped. The market price is five yuan per catty, and their purchase price is two yuan. Next year, the market price will be good, nine yuan per catty, an increase of four yuan. Do you think you should earn these four yuan? Dream on! It's still two yuan. If it increases by four yuan, then he will earn four more yuan!"
The bearded man opened his mouth and said, "So you guys want to do it too (agree)?"
"I have to do it! I can't sell it to anyone else, and I can't let it rot in the field! A couple of dollars is better than nothing!"
A villager smiled and said, "Village Chief Liu, we know what you are up to. You just think that the price of vegetables is okay this year, so you think that selling to Mingting Company is a loss, so you want to sell at a higher price. But to be honest, you have never learned your lesson. If you had dealt with drug dealers like us, you would know that these big companies are still kind."
"That's right. At least these big companies follow the rules. What they say is what they mean. Even if the price is reduced now, they won't say they won't buy it anymore. They're not like those drug dealers who change their minds like turning over a book and are willing to do anything to make money. There's nothing wrong with making money steadily!"
"Village Chief Liu, let me do a simple calculation for you. You can find a way to sell the products yourself. I don't care whether you can find one or not, nor do I care about the other party's character or whether they will cheat you. I will just ask you a question: earning 50,000 this year and 10,000 next year, or earning 30,000 or 40,000 every year just by farming? Which one is more cost-effective?"
"Besides these things, there is another problem. Since we have signed a contract with the company, we must act according to the contract! We farmers don't care about money. We should always be moral! The company came all the way to help us. How can we break the contract just because we see money?"
