Is it Haisheng Group again?
It happened before, but the elders here didn't explain it clearly over the phone.
Ah Chen was taken aback. "These old Miao bastards, are they planning to trap me like this, and then gradually lull me into a false sense of security?"
"Ah Chen, don't misunderstand. It's your first time here, and the elders didn't tell you the truth because they were afraid of spoiling your fun. That's why they haven't told you the truth yet."
After Bai A Yue explained, she told A Chen what had happened.
turn out to be--
In addition to developing tourism in Sanya, Haisheng Group is also a major player in the Hainan fruit industry.
Qiong Island is the province of the second largest island in the Great Xia Dynasty.
At least one-third of the fruit grown by the Miao people is wholesaled through Haisheng Group.
All these years, things have been peaceful.
But ever since what happened to Pei Yun's second uncle, coupled with the Miao people's attack on Haisheng's branch in Sanya—
after--
Haisheng Group also used other methods to seize the orchards of Miao people, and even the fishing villages along the coast.
All these factors--
In an effort to force the Miao people to relinquish the land they coveted, Haisheng Group employed a two-pronged approach.
On the one hand, pressure is put on the Miao people directly, just like what Achen heard on the day he arrived on Hainan Island.
On the other hand, it cut off the Miao people's means of wholesaling countless fruits.
Haisheng Group holds an extremely high position in the fruit industry of Hainan Island, second only to the Luo family, which is number one.
The Pei family of Haisheng Group declared that no local fruit merchant was allowed to purchase the dozens of types of fruit grown by the Miao people.
According to Bai Ayue, they have at least ten kinds of fruit to be launched in March and April, with a total value of at least 20 to 30 million yuan.
This is still the wholesale price of fruit.
Although they have a sales channel that leads directly to overseas markets, the fruit volume is large during peak season.
In addition, different varieties of fruit will ripen in season every month, and their sales channels cannot handle such a large quantity.
If they can't be sold and end up rotting in your hands, you'll suffer huge losses.
Over the course of a year, the 70,000 farmers who cultivated fruit trees will suffer losses of at least 200 to 300 million yuan.
Two or three hundred million is a large sum, but it represents the hard-earned income of 70,000 Miao people for a year.
After deducting costs--
Each household doesn't earn much.
The key is that Hainan Island is rich in fruit, unlike the sacred fruit from Mu Achen in eastern Guizhou, which is extremely expensive.
Fruits from Hainan Island
Since it's from the place of origin, the wholesale price is very low.
It's basically just a few cents per pound, and if it can cost a dollar, it depends on the type of fruit.
Therefore, with wholesale fruit prices reaching two to three hundred million yuan a year, it goes without saying just how large this orchard is.
…
One hour later--
Bai Ayue finally told Mu Achen the whole story.
After Mu Achen heard this,
He gazed at Bai Ayue's beautiful face and began to ponder.
Bai Ayue continued, "Ultimately, it's because Haisheng Group is using its various resources on Hainan Island to cut off our fruit sales channels. Their goal is to avenge their chairman's brother and also to take over the land in the fishing villages along the coast and the orchards near the coast."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen looked up and asked, "What about the local government? What did they say?"
Bai Ayue said, "Haisheng Group belongs to the Pei family. The Pei family is the richest family on our island in name only. This is just a family company."
"But we have accumulated wealth over the years, more than Haisheng Group, but all of this money comes from the hard-earned money of tens of thousands of Miao people."
"Although we made some money in previous years, if the fruit couldn't be sold and rotted in our hands, we would not only fail to make money, but also lose money, which was not a small amount."
"so--"
"In the end, the Pei family is much richer than our Miao family!"
"In addition, the Pei family's Haisheng Group is well-known, and now they want to invest money to develop Sanya's tourism industry. Naturally, those government officials will favor them a little."
At this point, Bai Ayue paused, looked at Achen with his brows furrowed, and said, "The current situation is that if we don't back down, although the Pei family is afraid of us, they are clearly prepared."
"What preparations?"
“A group of armed police officers, fearing that our fruit farmers and nurserymen might cause trouble, have already stationed themselves around Sanya.”
Military defense?
Now, Ah Chen's brows furrowed even more!
Nan Ayun, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "The Pei family's move is to force the Miao people of Qiong Island to take extreme measures to retaliate. Once a major upheaval occurs, the military will definitely be mobilized."
"When the Miao people are arrested for breaking the law, the Pei family will not only be able to take revenge, but also seize the fishing village on the coastline they want and the orchard land they have their eye on."
Bai Ayue nodded, "That's basically it. So the elders are worried that other Miao people might take extreme measures and ruin the livelihoods of all the fruit farmers and Miao people. They've been discussing it for the past two days, hoping to find a better way to both get rid of the Pei family and sell our fruit."
"Did you find it?" Ah Chen asked.
“If we don’t take down the Pei family, not only will no one come to wholesale our fruit, but other companies won’t take on the transportation part either.”
Bai A Yue's implication was that she wanted to poison the entire Pei family.
Only by removing the Pei family, this malignant tumor, can the fruit of the Miao people be sold.
"Alright, I understand! Let's go see your clan elders." With that, Achen stood up.
Bai Ayue said, "I'll have them come to see you."
"Forget it, I'll go by myself! Otherwise, if these old Miao men deliberately trip and fall on their way to see me, and then claim that it was my fault, Mu Achen, and insist on keeping me here for three or five years to take care of them, wouldn't that make me look like I'm dead?"
