"Yun Zhiqing's idea is great! Doesn't Xu Changqing want to destroy us? Let's drag him down with us and see who feels more distressed." The accountant said happily.
"Not only that, even if Xu Changqing agrees, the team leader will have the team leaders of several other teams write a letter of guarantee in front of the county leaders, guaranteeing that the sweet potato vermicelli made in their villages will not be sold to our current customers of our Hongqi Brigade." Yun Yan continued.
"What a good idea! It's useless for them to make it if there is no market for it." The deputy captain said proudly.
"Okay, I will go to the county leaders tomorrow and tell them these two conditions. If they don't agree, then I won't agree either," said the team leader.
"Captain, you'd better ask the county leaders to call the captain of the Shangyang Brigade, and also call the other captains who are concerned about how to make our sweet potato vermicelli." Yun Yan continued.
Isn't Xu Changqing after the golden nugget from the Red Flag Brigade? Then I'll show him what it means to shoot oneself in the foot. Come on, let's hurt each other!
After hearing Yun Yan's words, the team leader and others admired Yun Yan even more, and even the village party secretary looked at Yun Yan with admiration.
The next morning, the team leader and the accountant rode their bicycles to the county town together. Everyone was afraid that the team leader would be besieged like yesterday, so they asked the accountant, who was the most eloquent, to go with him.
The two of them met the county magistrate, and Liu Defu asked the magistrate to call several other team leaders to a meeting to discuss the matter of sweet potato vermicelli.
The county magistrate listened to his words and thought that he had figured it out, so he praised him profusely. Liu Defu and Liu Dexi looked at each other, hoping that the county magistrate would still be able to smile in the future.
Soon the other team leaders arrived, and when the county magistrate saw that everyone was present, he let Liu Defu speak.
"I went back and thought about it yesterday, and felt that I really shouldn't be so selfish and only think about the development of my own team. So I agreed to teach the method of making sweet potato vermicelli to other teams." Liu Defu said.
Xu Changqing and several other team leaders were overjoyed when they heard that Liu Defu agreed to hand over the method of making sweet potato vermicelli. Xu Changqing, in particular, looked very proud.
But Liu Defu's next words stopped Xu Changqing from laughing. After they had laughed enough, Liu Defu continued, "But County Magistrate, I also have two conditions. Since our Hongqi Brigade can hand over the method of making sweet potato vermicelli for the development of Jing County, shouldn't the Shangyang Brigade also hand over their silkworm breeding methods to other brigades?"
After hearing his words, Xu Changqing stopped laughing and looked at Liu Defu in disbelief.
"Our team leader is right. It cannot be just our Hongqi Brigade that makes contributions. He has become rich by raising silkworms in the past few years in the Yang Brigade. It is time to help other brigades." The accountant immediately followed up Liu Defu's words.
"That makes sense. Since we have to pay, both families should pay together." Several other brigades also echoed this.
They'd been eyeing the silkworm breeding techniques of Captain Yang for a long time. If they could learn the golden nuggets from both families, they'd be rich.
Xu Changqing was now at a loss for words. Hadn't he come here to force Liu Defu to hand over the recipe for making sweet potato vermicelli? Why was he now dragging his own brigade's silkworm breeding technology into the mix?
Seeing Liu Defu and Liu Dexi looking at him with smugness on their faces, Xu Changqing knew that they were planning to drag him down. They were so treacherous, Xu Changqing glared at the two men opposite him angrily, his eyes almost blazing with fire.
When Liu Defu and Liu Dexi saw Xu Changqing's expression, which was uglier than eating shit, they finally let out the anger in their hearts.
The county magistrate did not expect that Liu Defu would use this trick on him, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Liu Defu continued, "Before I hand over the method of making sweet potato vermicelli to other brigades, I hope that the leaders of these brigades will sign a letter of guarantee in front of the county magistrate."
"What guarantee letter?" the county chief and several other brigades asked in unison.
"It means we ensure that the sweet potato vermicelli they make will not be sold to our current customers," said the accountant.
"So you mean they have to find a market for the sweet potato vermicelli they make themselves?" the county magistrate asked with some displeasure.
"Of course, we worked hard to open up our current sales channels. Why should they want to take advantage of the ready-made ones right away?" Liu Defu said bluntly.
The captains of the other brigades were speechless when they heard what Liu Defu said. Yes, who would want to see the sales channels they worked so hard to open up being sold to others in such a cheap way?
"County magistrate, we are not intentionally trying to make things difficult for anyone. We are all from the same county and we all want our own brigade to make money. If we sell sweet potato vermicelli regardless of region, then there may be a situation where a brigade will lower the price in order to sell more of its own sweet potato vermicelli." said the accountant.
The county magistrate thought about it and realized that this was indeed true. If several brigades started a price war, then as the county magistrate, he would be doing something bad with good intentions.
When the other team leaders heard they were going to sell the sweet potato vermicelli themselves, they fell silent. They knew how much they had, and Xu Changqing was even more afraid to speak. He wished he could become invisible, or else the other teams would come and attack his team.
This time, I lost more than I gained. I thought I could make things difficult for Liu Defu, but I almost ended up hurting myself.
In the end, the matter of asking the Red Flag Brigade to hand over the method of making sweet potato vermicelli had to be shelved. After all, no one was completely sure that they could sell the sweet potato vermicelli they made.
Seeing that they had died down, Liu Defu stood up and said, "I know everyone wants their brigade to make more money so that the villagers can live better. Let's put it this way. The most important raw material for our sweet potato vermicelli is sweet potatoes. If the other brigades are willing to sell their excess sweet potatoes to us, our Hongqi Brigade will buy them at a price one cent per jin higher than the market price."
Don't underestimate this cent. If you can sell 100,000 kilograms, you can make an extra 1,000 yuan.
"And our brigade is preparing to expand the workshop. We will recruit more people then. If there are people from other brigades who are willing to come, we would also welcome them," said the accountant.
If the raw materials can be guaranteed, then expanding the workshop is a must. Moreover, the other brigades cannot watch the Red Flag Brigade make money while they cannot even get a share of the soup. They all understand the principle of giving a slap in the face and a sweet date in return.
Sure enough, after doing the math, the captains of the other brigades all agreed it was feasible. Even if they couldn't get the meat, some soup wouldn't be a bad idea. Compared to the Shangyang Brigade, which ate the meat itself but didn't even give away the bones, the Red Flag Brigade was already very fair.
