Before Captain Lu could speak, Liu Haijun from Dazhai Village walked forward with a smile on his face.
He said to Captain Lu: "Captain Lu, right? I heard that your Dahe Village has been an advanced team every year.
Now I see that these guys are indeed strong and sturdy. "
When Captain Lu heard that his surname was Liu, he thought that one should not have any prejudice against someone just because of his surname.
But I couldn't help but think of that bastard Liu Qingshan.
The smile in his eyes faded a little, and he went straight in with his sword. He didn't beat around the bush with them.
"Our brigade wants to buy your pear trees. Please see what price is appropriate.
If it’s suitable, we will buy it all.”
Liu Haijun smiled even more happily at this time, and hurriedly walked towards the Pear Garden with several people.
“Although the fruits of our pear trees are not as good as those of Dali Village.
But it also produces some small fruits every year.
You came at an unfortunate time, as all the fruits have been picked."
Captain Lu and Secretary He looked at each other and looked at the pear trees in the garden in silence.
The few leaves hanging here and there, as thin as a wrist, seemed like the last stubbornness of the little pear tree, indicating that it was still alive.
The ground in the pear orchard was covered with dead grass, and there was almost no place to step.
Captain Lu was a little skeptical. Even if they bought the pear tree, would it be able to survive?
Lu Zhiye looked at the pear tree in front of him with interest. It would be better for the captain to take over all the trees in the pear orchard.
When the time comes, he will plant all the half-dead ones that are eliminated into the space.
Liu Haijun saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly continued, "Our tree is almost ten years old, and a pear seedling outside is still 1.5 yuan.
You can just throw the pear tree away, and save the time for the pear seedlings to grow up."
Captain Lu looked at Liu Haijun with a sullen face: Do you think we are idiots?
You have abandoned your garden and you still want to sell it to us for $1.50. You are simply dreaming.
Liu Haijun also felt embarrassed, but they couldn't have lived there for nothing for so many years, right?
You have to know that this large pear orchard was originally reclaimed by a large group of people from their team with great time and effort.
Otherwise, we could harvest a lot of grain from these more than 300 acres.
"Captain Liu, let me make this clear today. The price you mentioned is unacceptable to us in Dahe Village."
Captain Lu said in a cold voice, and Liu Haijun looked at Secretary He who was standing beside him.
Secretary He looked like he was obeying Captain Lu in everything, which made him feel a toothache.
In other brigades, the branch secretary is in charge, while the team leader is mainly responsible for production.
How come Dahe Village is so turned upside down? Can't you see the village party secretary looking calm and composed? All the hard work is done by him!
Liu Haijun was also afraid that this plan would fail. This orchard in the village would be like a bun covered in chicken shit.
The original poverty alleviation project failed to get off the ground and the government no longer cared about it.
I might as well dig them all up, but when I think about the huge amount of manpower that I invested previously, I feel reluctant to do so.
It's really stuck in my throat, I can neither swallow it nor spit it out.
"Captain Lu, don't be so absolute. Come on, let's go to the office and have a good chat."
Liu Haijun reached out to grab Captain Lu's arm, but he dodged sideways.
Captain Lu said to the educated youths, "Talk to Captain Liu about why this pear tree is not worth this price."
Wu Yu straightened up and pointed to the bottom of a dying pear tree and said, "There are ants all over the bottom of this tree.
Maybe the inside is completely eaten away, and there are over 300 orchards, I wonder how many fruit trees are in this situation. "
“Yes, and Captain Liu, you said this tree is nearly ten years old, but we have also been to Dali Village.
Their fruit trees are twice as thick as yours, and they don't have as many branches as the pear trees here.
If we transplant them there, in the best case scenario, we will not only have to take care of them again, but we will also have to plant them for a few more years before they bear fruit.”
Zhou Guoliang followed up and said that he had returned from the factory today, ever since Lu Yuan went to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Captain Lu asked someone to change her job to a job in a machinery factory and arranged for Zhou Guoliang to work there.
It happened to be his turn to have a day off today, so I came along to take a look.
Captain Lu nodded repeatedly: He just said that these educated youth knew more than him!
Liu Haijun looked a little unhappy. After all, he was the captain of a brigade, but this group of educated youth didn't give him any face at all.
The pear orchard that they had worked hard to cultivate for several years was criticized as worthless.
Normally, he would have lost control of his temper.
But looking at the branch secretary of his own brigade, smoking a pipe and not saying a word, he endured it silently.
He forced a smile on his face and said, "Then what's your price?"
Captain Lu was about to say one dollar per tree when he was stopped by Lu Zhiye's look.
His eyes rolled, wondering if Lu Zhiye had any other good ideas?
He quickly coughed and said, "What do you think about this?"
Wu Yu, Wen Sihe and a few others gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
When Captain Lu heard Wu Yu say disdainfully, "Even 80 cents is too much for me."
The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly, and he didn't even dare to look at Liu Haijun's expression.
Originally he thought that his offer of one yuan was low enough, but who knew that this group of educated youth were better at bargaining than him.
Lu Zhiye stood in front of Captain Lu, stared at Liu Haijun and said, "Fifteen thousand yuan, we want the whole garden."
Liu Haijun's eyes suddenly opened wide, and Captain Lu felt that his eyes were as good as those of the other oxen in the team.
Liu Haijun said tremblingly: "At that time, the government invested more than 20,000 yuan. Not to mention the wages of the people in our brigade.
Captain Lu, Captain Lu, take a look at what price your people quoted.
You have to leave us a way to survive."
Lu Zhiye lowered his eyes and said nothing. His psychological expectation was 18,000 yuan.
He had just walked over one acre of land and counted that there were seventy fruit trees planted on one acre of land in the pear orchard in Dazhai Village.
Excluding the dead and disabled, on average, he estimated that there would be about sixty-two or sixty-three.
But the orchard is so big, it covers 350 acres.
The orchard they invested in is only 300 acres, so if they sell the entire orchard, they will not lose money.
Captain Lu glanced at Lu Zhiye's expression quietly. Wow, he is even darker than the educated youth. If you calculate it this way, each fruit tree should be worth less than 70 cents...
Lu Zhiye said nothing, and Captain Lu didn't know what he was planning, so he also remained silent.
Liu Haijun became anxious when he saw that neither of them responded to him.
"Captain Lu, please say something. This decision must be made by you.
If I give you this price, you won’t even have anything left to pay for it.”
Lu Zhiye winked at Captain Lu and quietly gestured with the number two with his fingers.
