Volume 1 Chapter 283: Transported Back

Seeing Li Qiudong explaining the situation with high spirits, Li Tian reacted on the spot. It turned out that he felt that he had made a profit from the difference of one dollar.

Human nature is truly amazing!

Yesterday I was so grateful that I almost knelt down to thank him for finding such a good sales channel, but today he turned against me.

Of course, he knew that Li Qiudong played a great role here, but the villagers believed what Li Qiudong said, so naturally they thought that their oranges could be sold for three yuan instead of two.

"Xiaotian, the amount of oranges in our village is more than one million kilograms. If one orange is missing, it will cost more than one million yuan. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"We are from the same village. We all have the blood of the same ancestors flowing in our bodies. If you make money from others, we will all give you a thumbs up. But if you make money from the hard-earned money of your family members, do you have a clear conscience?"

"In order to grow oranges well, everyone went up the mountain early every morning, weeding, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides under the scorching sun. Your uncle Zhong got heat stroke several times and passed out on the mountain. As a member of the Li family, how could you do such a thing?"

The whole village was very angry and sad about what Li Tian did.

Oranges are the industry that the whole village relies on for their survival. Everyone works so hard just to make more money. But you, just by talking a lot and doing nothing, easily made a million from everyone. Who can accept this?

"Tianwang Li, please give us an explanation right now!"

Li Qiudong continued to fan the flames, saying, "You are a good-for-nothing. Why should you show off? You should achieve nothing and be single for the rest of your life. How can you control yourself if you marry a wife as beautiful as Gu Ruoxi? I ​​am the one who deserves her the most."

Gu Ruoxi stood on the second-floor balcony, frowning as she watched the situation below. The wholesale price of oranges this year was two yuan per pound, which was considered quite good.

She checked the data on the Internet and found that many places were selling wholesale to buyers at RMB 1.2 or RMB 1.3. Li Tian had indeed done a good thing for Lijia Village, but she did not expect that he was blamed by the villagers.

In the yard on the first floor, Mom and Dad looked at Li Tian anxiously.

"Xiaotian, please say something and explain this matter to the uncles and aunts." Dad urged.

The mother also said: "Yes, Xiaotian, it is not easy to grow oranges. You have to be exposed to the sun every day. Look at the uncles, aunts, uncles and wives. None of them have fair skin. They are all tanned by the sun."

Li Tian nodded, waved his hand, and said to the villagers: "I just want to ask everyone a question. Is the market price of oranges two yuan per pound this year?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Everyone knows that oranges are not selling well this year."

"The market price is indeed two yuan per pound."

No one denied this market price.

Li Tian sneered, "Since it is the market price, what's the problem here? The buyers can sell it for three yuan, that's their ability, we can't let them resell it at the purchase price of two yuan, what are they trying to do? After working so hard and wasting fuel, in the end they don't get any benefit. If it were you, would you be willing to do that?"

This……

These casual words immediately left everyone speechless, as if that was the truth. Yes, what were they doing here?

"fart!"

Li Qiudong hastily retorted, "Tota Li Tianwang, you were the one who called them here. Do you dare to say that you are not in the same group with them? Do you dare to say that you did not get any money from it? They are buyers, they also need to make money, we can understand that."

"But the profit from the one dollar difference is huge. Let's not talk about whether you can sell our Lijiacun oranges at 2.7 or 2.8 yuan. Even if you sell them at 2.5 yuan, you can make an extra 100 or 200,000 yuan. But you sold them at 2 yuan and took a one dollar difference. Isn't that too much?"

"You're such a talker, but you've made millions without even going to the mountains once a year. You've made more than anyone else. Is there such a good thing in the world? This million was all plundered from everyone here. Do you have any shame?"

To be honest, besides disliking Li Tian, ​​he was also jealous. Over a million dollars in profit, who wouldn't be greedy.

After hearing what Li Qiudong said, everyone realized that it was not a question of whether the market price was right or not, but that Li Tian was too dishonest and actually made money from their hard-earned money.

"Yes, we all understand that buyers want to make money, but you and buyers are making money from our hard-earned money together. Don't you feel guilty at all?"

"Xiaotian, we watched you grow up. You got married, and yesterday we all celebrated for you with drums, gongs, and firecrackers. But you did something like this behind our backs. Are you worthy of our trust?"

"Your family has always been honest people, from your great-grandfather's generation onwards. How come you have become so cunning and unscrupulous in making money from your family members?"

The whole village was very disappointed and felt that they had been played a trick by Li Tian.

"Let's stop talking about this and be practical."

Auntie Tao Xiu yelled, then glared at Li Tian and shouted, "Li Tian, ​​give the money back to us, it's our money!"

"Yes, give us back the one dollar difference."

"People need dignity, trees need bark. If you don't give it back, I will hit my head against your house and die."

"Pay us back our hard-earned money!"

The crowd was excited, raising their fists and shouting as if they were in a protest.

Li Tian felt a little disappointed. He really regretted helping. It didn't do any good, but he ended up with such a bad reputation.

Even his parents looked at him worriedly at this time. His father came over and said to him, "If you really made money from this, just give it back to them. Although we are short of money, we can't take advantage of the hard-earned money of the villagers."

"Dad, I didn't make a penny from this, I swear!" Li Tian said seriously.

"Who would believe it? Donggua just said that you were the one who called the person here, so you must be in the same group. I'm telling you exactly what you said. If you don't want to make money, why are you looking for sales channels?" Aunt Tao Xiu shouted loudly, spitting all over her body.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the whole village raised their fists and shouted, asking Li Tian to return their hard-earned money.

Li Tian shook his head, feeling really ashamed. He did good things for the village but was cursed instead. It seemed that good things could not be done.

He pressed his hand, and after everyone had calmed down, he said, "Since you don't trust me, you guys should figure out how to sell the oranges yourself."

He took out his cell phone, dialed the buyer's number and turned on the speakerphone.

"Mr. Li." The buyer's respectful voice rang from the phone.

"Where are the oranges delivered?" Li Tian asked calmly.

"It's only a little over a hundred kilometers to the coast." said the buyer.

Li Tian: "Don't send it to Binhai, bring the oranges back."

The buyer was confused: "Ah? This...Mr. Li, can you tell me why?"

"People in the village think the price is too low and don't want to sell it anymore," said Li Tian.

"They are stupid... They are out of their minds. Two yuan is not a low price. Other places are now charging one yuan and twenty yuan or one yuan and three yuan, and in some places the price has even dropped to ninety cents per pound. If you, Mr. Li, hadn't informed Binhai, who would spend such a high price to transport the oranges to Binhai and sell them at three yuan per pound? Binhai is doing this for your sake, Mr. Li." The buyer almost cursed him as an idiot, but swallowed the words back because of Li Tian's identity.

"Stop talking nonsense and bring the oranges back as soon as possible." Li Tian said.

"Yes," the buyer nodded.
