After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection
Chapter 44 Now You Beg Us to Sell
In the midst of silence, Lu An's voice was like a thunderclap that suddenly rose from the ground, waking everyone up.
Yes! We have college students in Lugang Village, he will definitely have a solution!
Lu An strode forward, and all the villagers spontaneously made way for Lu An and reached out to help him, because at this moment Lu An carried all the hopes of the entire Lugang Village.
But Xia Donglai was not happy. He jumped down the ridge in anger, pointed at Lu An and shouted: "Why are you here to make trouble? This is a business between Lugang Village and Boss Hu. What does it have to do with you?"
Just kidding, in Xia Donglai's view, this deal with Boss Hu was facilitated by him, Xia Donglai. He thinks he has made a great contribution and brought a lot of income to the village.
Now that you, Lu An, have jumped out to oppose it, isn't that a slap in the face of Xia Donglai?
"Get out of here, you idiot!"
This time, Lu An had no interest in arguing with Xia Donglai. He just reached out and pushed him aside.
Xia Donglai almost fell down with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He finally stood up and turned around and shouted: "Lu An, I warn you not to do anything rash. Secretary and village chief, you all say something! We have finally negotiated this taro deal. Don't let him ruin it. Who will take the responsibility?"
Village chief Zhou Youkun couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why are you howling? We in Lugang Village have always been about democratic discussion. Since Comrade Lu An has an idea, let him speak out. Is this the limit of your town cadres?"
Xia Donglai was startled by the yelling and dared not to howl anymore, but he still muttered viciously: "Just wait, you will suffer if you don't listen to the cadres. You will regret it when he ruins the deal!"
Lu An never looked at Xia Donglai from beginning to end. He walked straight to Hu Zhongrong.
"Boss Hu, three cents is really too low." Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An speak, Xia Donglai immediately sneered: "I thought our college students would come up with some profound ideas, but in the end they just said this. You are so shameless!"
The secretary, the village chief and other villagers all frowned, thinking that Lu An's opening remarks were indeed unsatisfactory.
Hu Zhongrong looked Lu An up and down, then bowed and said, "You are a college student, right? Nice to meet you. I actually respect intellectuals like you. I should give you some respect out of respect for intellectuals, but I also have to make a living. I can't give you a high price and then make a loss, right? I won't do that."
"Boss Hu, I'll give you one last chance. Make a new offer, otherwise I won't be polite." Lu An said again.
Hu Zhongrong raised his eyelids and said, "Oh? You still want to hit me?"
As he spoke, Hu Zhongrong deliberately patted his head with his hand arrogantly: "Come on! Hit me here, I'll stand here and let you hit me. If you dare, beat me to death! If you kill me, who will you sell the things in your fields to?"
Lu An reached out and touched Hu Zhongrong's head: "Boss Hu, stop making trouble. We live in a society ruled by law now. Why would I hit you? But if your past is exposed, it will be embarrassing."
Hu Zhongrong was still arrogant and disdainful: "Shake as much as you can! I want to see what color fart can come out of your mouth!"
Row!
Lu An stepped forward and patted the pile of taro on the cart: "Boss Hu, you just said that this taro can only be sold for five cents in Pingjiang City, right? But as far as I know, this kind of taro is very popular in the city. It can be sold for at least 60 or 70 cents in the general farmers' market. Even if it is sold wholesale, the price is at least more than 30 cents."
"And if it can be shipped to the provincial capital, the price can be doubled again, and the wholesale price can reach 60 cents!"
"The Jiefang truck has a load capacity of five tons, but it is weighed by taro. It is no problem to transport eight tons at a time, which is 16,000 kilograms. You can make 5,000 yuan per trip to the city, but you only give us three cents a kilogram. All of us in the village make less than 500 yuan. Do you still have a conscience?"
When Lu An said this, there was an uproar at the scene. No one thought that taro was priced like this in the city? Wasn't Hu Zhongrong, the profiteer, cheating them all along?
Especially when you think about how he looked like he had suffered a loss just now, it's really disgusting.
Think about it, he is obviously making a lot of money, but he still wants to bargain for even a little bit of his hard-earned money. He is really evil-hearted!
Su Qinglian gritted her teeth in hatred: "No wonder Brother Lu An just said that the Hu people were drinking the blood of our Lugang Village. They are really evil!"
He sold it for three cents and gave three cents to the villagers. This is simply insane!
Hu Zhongrong was a little panicked. He never expected that this young man could tell the price in one breath.
But Hu Zhongrong is a businessman who travels all over the country all year round, and this little scene can't scare him at all.
Not only did he look calm, he also laughed while hanging his neck: "If you say 30 cents, then 30 cents? If you say 60 cents, then 60 cents. Why don't you say 600 yuan?"
Hu Zhongrong also said: "Even if what you said is true, what does it matter? If I don't help you transport it to the city, with your small cart, it will take you forever! By then, you won't make a penny!"
Xia Donglai also took the opportunity to offer his assistance: "That's right, that coward Lu An is messing around here, and we still have to rely on Boss Hu in the end!"
Lu An also came prepared.
Facing the doubts of Hu Zhongrong and Xia Donglai, he calmly raised a finger and said, "First of all, everyone knows me. My name is Lu An. I went to the provincial capital to attend university. After graduation, I lived in Pingjiang County for two months. So, apart from anything else, I definitely know the price of taro in the farmer's market!"
Then Lu An raised his second finger and squinted at Hu Zhongrong: "Secondly, who said that it must be you, Boss Hu, who has to transport it into the city?"
Lu An pointed at a Jiefang truck parked on the roadside not far away and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the town's transport team's car, right? It can be rented out for 500 or 800 yuan per person. If you, Boss Hu, can rent it, why can't we in Lugang Village? We have a town cadre there!"
Hu Zhongrong clenched his hands suddenly, and the cigarette box in his hand was squeezed into a twist.
He really regretted that he shouldn't have let the young man speak. He should have been alert when he heard that he was a college student.
It’s all that idiot Xia Donglai’s fault!
Hu Zhongrong glared at Xia Donglai fiercely. He felt that if it weren't for Xia Donglai's stupidity, which made him think that a town cadre was at this level and that the rural people had such a limited vision, he would not have relaxed his vigilance against Lu An.
If Lu An hadn't exposed his past, he would have made a lot of money.
As for now...
Big trouble!
Xia Donglai, who was suddenly called out from both sides, seemed a little confused. He didn't understand why Lu An mentioned him, and he didn't understand why Hu Zhongrong had such a hateful look in his eyes. Hadn't he always been on his side?
Hu Zhongrong waved his hand and said, "Alright, I admit defeat. You name a price, as long as it's not too much, I'll accept it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone from Lu Maocai, Zhou Youkun, Su Qinglian and other Lugang villagers' eyes lit up.
This means that the famous Boss Hu has admitted defeat, and they can offer the highest price possible!
The eldest brother of the Lu family is worthy of being a college student, he is so capable!
Now we can sell our taro for five cents, maybe even six cents!
Everyone was thinking this excitedly, but the surprises Lu An brought them were more than just that.
"Boss Hu, we'll talk about the price later. Don't you have to apologize to all the villagers in our Lugang Village first? As far as I know, you have come to the village to collect things many times in recent years. You must have done this kind of thing a lot, right?" Lu An said.
Following Lu An's words, someone immediately stood up to testify.
"I was wondering why the sweet potatoes were so cheap last time. The county sold them for 20 cents, but you only gave us 5 cents!"
"And the late rice from last time, and the watermelon... Hu, how much money did you cheat us out of!"
Faced with the villagers' complaints, Hu Zhongrong simply made up his mind. He shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Do you want me to dig out my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to compensate you? At best, I won't buy your taro today. Do you still want to beg you to sell it? Your college student is so capable, just let him sell it for you!"
It has to be said that Hu Zhongrong was quite capable of controlling these villagers. With just a few words from him, the villagers who had just started to make accusations immediately became dispirited.
Yes! Are we really going to let the eldest brother of the Lu family sell it?
Although Lu An talked so excitedly just now, the villagers were still hesitant when it came to actually asking him to help sell the goods.
Only Lu An remained calm, and even wanted to laugh: "Boss Hu, it seems like you don't understand. Are you really begging us to sell it now?"
"Don't glare at me. The more you glare at me, the more guilty you feel!"
"Boss Hu, have you forgotten that you rented your car from the town for several hundred dollars? Add in the gas, dinner and cigarettes for the driver, and connections in the town, and you must have spent at least a thousand dollars, right?"
"You've spent so much money, are you willing to let it all go to waste?"
Hu Zhongrong looked grim and was about to say something, but Lu An said first: "Even if you are willing to throw away your money, who else can you do?"
"Others? What do you mean by others? I don't know what you are talking about."
Hu Zhongrong spoke in a very stern voice, perhaps he himself did not notice that his tone was weak.
Seeing his behavior, Lu An was more certain of his judgment: "Why did Boss Hu always wait in the county for the villagers to deliver the goods to his door before, but why did he rent a car today? If I'm not mistaken, there are probably other businessmen coming to the town, and Boss Hu is afraid that his business will be snatched away by others, so he rushed out to collect it. Am I right?"
"Of course I know. If it's just the taro from our Lugang Village today, you, Boss Hu, can afford the loss. But what if we spread the news to other villages around? Boss Hu, do you think you will still have a way to make money in the future?"
Lu An said as he took a step forward.
Hu Zhongrong suddenly felt a suffocating sense of oppression coming towards him.
He could no longer hold on and his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Lu An: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
