"Is there another contract?"
Wang Qian's gloomy expression softened somewhat.
But after quickly glancing at the contract, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
Indeed, it was the content of his collaboration with Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.
However, his distribution of profits was not ideal.
According to the contract, after the grapes are grown, he will receive a five-cent commission for every pound of grapes he buys from the villagers.
But that's all there is to it.
The rest are a whole host of obligations and responsibilities that he has to fulfill.
for example:
First, he needs to get the villagers to plant more than 3,000 mu of grapes by March next year;
Second, once the planting area meets the requirements, he will also be responsible for the overall management of these vineyards to prevent villagers from cutting down trees indiscriminately, which would indirectly cause losses to the company.
Third, he needs to ensure that the grapes grown by the villagers cannot be sold to outsiders and can only be purchased by Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.
Fourth, if a dispute arises between the company and the villagers, he needs to mediate, and the company's interests must be the primary consideration.
These terms are clearly a form of coercion.
Moreover, the revenue he received did not match his budget.
"It seems none of you are truly interested in cooperating!"
Wang Qian pushed the contract forward and shook his head. "If your contract terms are all like this, you should find someone else. I'm not interested in this project!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
If he signs such an overbearing clause, he will not only become a tool of Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd., but he will also receive very little benefit in the end.
How could he possibly do something so thankless and exhausting?
"Wang Qian, didn't I just say that everything can be discussed?"
Zuo Hengyu hurriedly caught up and grabbed him, "Which clause do you think needs to be changed? We can discuss and revise it until both of us can accept it, and then we'll sign it. Is that alright?"
Gao Churou also said, "Cooperation definitely needs to satisfy both parties, otherwise how can it be called cooperation?"
They've been planning this project for a long time.
However, the plan has been delayed because the villagers in the countryside have not been able to be persuaded to plant it on a large scale.
Now that Wang Qian, a man with immense influence in rural areas, is willing to cooperate with them, how could they possibly let him go so easily?
"It can be changed, right?"
Wang Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll take the contract back and revise it. When I bring the potatoes and corn tomorrow, I'll show you the revised version. If you agree, then we'll sign it formally."
"Can!"
Gao Churou readily nodded, "Then I look forward to Mr. Wang's insightful opinion!"
After talking with the three bosses, Wang Qian left with two contracts.
However, before leaving, he turned back and said, "In the future, everyone should cooperate with sincerity. If this happens again, we have nothing to talk about!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Inside the office.
Li Guangsheng and the other two looked at each other, their faces full of bitterness.
"Wang Qian is no simple character. He saw through the traps and flaws in the contract at a glance. He has a sharp eye."
As soon as Zuo Hengyu finished speaking, Gao Churou added, "I thought he was too young to be easily fooled, but it seems we were all judging him by his appearance."
Li Guangsheng smiled wryly and said, "I told you all long ago not to try to outsmart Wang Qian, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're learning your lesson, aren't you?"
"It seems we need to correct our attitude from now on!"
Zuo Hengyu said seriously, "If we keep trying to outsmart him, I'm afraid we'll end up hurting ourselves."
"Old Zuo is right!"
Gao Churou nodded in deep agreement, "Whether this project can be implemented smoothly depends on Wang Qian. It seems that we should be more sincere in the future."
...
After leaving Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd., Wang Qian immediately rushed back to the village.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to run into a bus that was going their way.
This type of bus is a recent development.
However, they only travel between their neighboring village of Lvgou and the county seat.
If they want to take the ride, they only need to get on or off at Lugou Village.
Although I still have to walk two kilometers home, it's better than always walking home from the county town.
Keep in mind that the county seat is more than 30 kilometers away from them.
"Hopefully we can still catch up with the potato and corn harvest!"
Sitting in the car, Wang Qian was somewhat anxious.
It's already past 3 p.m., and by the time he gets home, it will be at least 5 p.m.
There simply won't be much time left to buy potatoes and corn.
With him gone, and with little cash left at home, it wasn't enough for his parents to buy potatoes and corn.
However, when he rushed home, he was shocked by what he saw.
His yard was piled high with potatoes and corn.
According to his estimate, the total weight would be at least 30,000 jin (15,000 kg).
Meanwhile, his parents were weighing the potatoes and corn they had brought for everyone.
Yang Shenglong and several other strong young men helped lift the scales and carry the weights to his yard to pile them up.
"Xiao Qian, why are you so late today?"
Yang Shenglong was the first to greet Wang Qian.
Others also cast friendly glances their way.
Wang Qian responded to each question with a smile.
He then strode over to Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua, "Dad, Mom, what's going on? I haven't even come back yet! Where did you get the money to buy so many potatoes and corn?"
"You brat, don't you know whether we have money or not?"
Wang Yuanguang glared at Wang Qian and said irritably, "These potatoes and corn were bought on credit by everyone!"
"Everyone trusts you and says they'll pay you back whatever you say."
After saying that, Wang Yuanguang chuckled.
"Want to pay on credit?"
Wang Qian couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
At the same time, I felt somewhat gratified.
A few days ago, when he first wanted to buy potatoes, no one believed him.
In just a few days, people trusted him so much that they were willing to give him potatoes and corn on credit.
This is exactly the effect he hoped to achieve.
Only by gaining everyone's approval and trust can he proceed more smoothly with what he needs to do next.
"Wang Qian, what are you standing there for?"
Lin Xiaoyu, who was keeping accounts nearby, urged, "Now that you're back, let's settle everyone's bills quickly."
"Ah, of course!"
Wang Qian suddenly came to his senses, nodded, and hurriedly took out money to settle the bills for everyone.
While he was settling accounts with those who had previously bought on credit, more people came carrying potatoes and corn to sell.
Moreover, the people who came were not only from Xieyang Village, but also from other villages.
It is evident that his purchase of potatoes and corn has become deeply ingrained in the local community and has spread throughout several nearby villages.
It took two hours of work, and it wasn't until it was getting dark, that all the bills were finally settled.
Today, the potatoes and corn they purchased have once again set a new record for purchase volume.
