Ji Dahai's attitude was extremely humble.
Li Weidong shook his head, speaking politely: "Boss Ji is a big businessman. My Yimeng Manor is just a small-scale operation, and I'm only trying it out. How could it possibly meet your standards?"
Ji Dahai grew increasingly anxious: "What big business? I'm just a small restaurant owner. Brother Weidong, this is no small business."
"With your abilities, you can make the company big and strong in less than five years... no, at most three years. Please give me a chance!"
"Or do you look down on me?"
Li Weidong chuckled: "What are you saying, Boss Ji? You've helped me a lot these past few days, how could I say such a thing! The main thing is that this company isn't something I can make decisions for alone."
"Besides me, there's Sister Xiaoyan and Zhang Bin. When we started the company, we agreed that there would only be the three of us. It's not easy for me to ask for someone else to join us now."
After saying that, he added, "They definitely won't agree."
Ji Dahai sighed immediately, looking completely deflated.
He knew in his heart that no matter why Li Weidong refused to let him invest, now that things had come to this point, it would be impolite to say anything more.
"That's enough!"
He sighed and said, "If Brother Weidong is unwilling, then forget it. I won't force him. But even if the business deal falls through, we can still be brothers, right?"
Regardless, Li Weidong is quite capable, and befriending him would definitely be beneficial in every way.
Li Weidong laughed loudly: "Boss Ji, you're definitely talking about brothers!"
"Then stop calling me 'boss' all the time."
Ji Dahai seized the opportunity: "I'll be presumptuous this time, just call me 'Big Brother,' don't be so polite."
Li Weidong readily agreed: "Brother Ji, don't be sad. I can't agree to your investment, but I can point you in another direction."
It wasn't just that Ji Dahai wanted to curry favor with him; he also wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Ji Dahai.
As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options. Ji Dahai's identity is not suitable for business partnerships, but being friends with him still has many advantages.
To take a recent example, just look at the case of "Big Intestine Brother." Ji Dahai's single sentence scared the man so much that he wet himself. He's a ready-made protective umbrella!
With Xing Guodong added, both the legitimate and criminal worlds are now connected. How much easier will it be for us to walk down the road ahead?
Ji Dahai's eyes lit up: "Brother Weidong, what route do you want? Just tell me, I'll listen!"
Li Weidong laughed and said, "If you really want to do this business, you can start from scratch and open your own company."
"Don't worry, since I call you 'Big Brother,' I definitely won't hold back. I'll tell you everything about how to run the company and how to operate it. Let's make money together!"
Ji Dahai was both surprised and delighted, but also somewhat hesitant: "Won't this mean our businesses clash?"
Li Weidong explained, "Don't worry, I have a plan for this. I'll give you a proposal later, and you'll understand once you've read it."
With these words from him, Ji Dahai was finally completely relieved.
He said happily, "I knew you were a good person, Brother Weidong. Don't worry, as long as you're willing to teach me, I'll definitely do whatever you tell me to do, and I promise I'll be obedient!"
In any case, everything that has happened in the past has proven that following Li Weidong will never be a mistake!
Li Weidong nodded and began to discuss the company's initial plans with him.
The discussion lasted all morning, and Ji Dahai left happily after lunch.
Tiger, who had entered the city, was completely unaware of all of this.
He never dreamed that the person he thought was so great would be so humble in front of Li Weidong.
He was as happy as a child after receiving just a casual remark from Li Weidong.
If he saw this scene, his eyes would probably pop out of his head in astonishment.
...
the next day.
Li Weidong had Shen Xiaoyan go to the village brigade headquarters early in the morning to continue the propaganda.
"But so many people returned their applications the day before yesterday, will anyone still come?"
Shen Xiaoyan was somewhat puzzled.
In her opinion, since these people couldn't distinguish between good and bad, she might as well just ignore them and call Zhang Bin directly, asking him to recruit more farmers.
If they don't cherish the opportunity presented to them, why should they waste their time?
Li Weidong shook his head: "Sister Xiaoyan, that's not how it works. Our company's headquarters are currently located in the village. If business really takes off in the future, it's inevitable that some people will complain or even resent us."
"If we publicize it for a few more days and give those people enough opportunities, they won't have anything to complain about then."
He knew better than anyone that people's hearts were unpredictable. These people were now complaining that the greenhouse fees were too high and the purchase price was too low, accusing him of being heartless.
When he actually makes money in the future, those who say he has forgotten his roots will definitely be the same group of people.
Now he's spending a few more days and giving the villagers more opportunities. If no one comes after that, then even if they complain later, they won't be able to blame him.
Thinking of this, he added, "I'll go with you today."
When Shen Xiaoyan first came to the village, the villagers inevitably looked down on her because she was a woman.
Shen Xiaoyan suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's continue today."
After finishing their meal, the two took the new application forms and went to the brigade headquarters courtyard.
Li Baotian also came over, and he was extremely grateful to the two of them.
"Weidong, daughter, those people were so ungrateful the other day, I didn't expect you to still be willing to give them a chance!"
Li Baotian sighed, "Don't worry, I'll go and persuade those people right away. If they don't apply now, they won't be able to grow mushrooms in time!"
Li Weidong smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."
Li Baotian quickly shook his head: "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I'm so grateful that you're willing to lead us all to prosperity!"
After saying that, he turned and went inside, preparing to shout it out several times over the loudspeaker.
Believe it or not, this shout really attracted quite a few people.
Although these people said they wanted to plant with Tiger's side the day before yesterday, they were still somewhat hesitant. Now that they learned that Li Weidong had also come, they all came over to inquire further.
Soon, the courtyard of the brigade headquarters became lively again.
Li Weidong sat behind Shen Xiaoyan without saying a word.
After all, he was only here today to keep things under control; the specifics should be left to Shen Xiaoyan to handle.
"Fellow villagers, please don't worry."
Shen Xiaoyan smiled warmly: "I know you have many complaints about this mushroom planting project."
"You'll understand once I explain it to you slowly..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the yard: "Grow mushrooms! Grow mushrooms!"
"If you want to grow mushrooms with me, hurry up and sign up!"
"All the policies are the same as Li Weidong's, but my purchase price is two cents higher!"
Everyone was stunned when the voice came out.
Shen Xiaoyan instinctively turned her head to look at Li Weidong.
Li Weidong narrowed his eyes.
Is that Tiger's voice?!
