542 Complicated Situation
When Chu Ning owned Cloud Shopping, the shareholders of Runfa Shopping Mall would naturally satisfy all of Chu Ning’s requests.
However, the owner of Cloud Shopping was now Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao would not allow such a situation to happen unless Qinghe Village completely sided with him.
Runfa Shopping Mall had many channels to purchase agricultural products, but Qinghe Village had returned to its previous state.
A large number of small vendors appeared in Qinghe Village, and they offered very low prices.
The arrogant faces of these peddlers were very troublesome. Many of them relied on Yang Feng to survive.
The current situation had undoubtedly intensified the conflict within Qinghe Village.
Although there had been conflicts when they had been poor, as they gradually became rich, the conflicts would only grow bigger and bigger.
In the process of becoming rich from a state of poverty, people’s mentality would also change.
At that moment, many residents of Qinghe Village had some complaints about Wen An, but they had not yet voiced it clearly.
Recently, they had first encountered a joint suppression by Houtu Village and the surrounding villages, cutting off the water source. A few days ago, traces of the planting cannabis of were even found in Qinghe Village…
The commissioner of the Agricultural Bureau came to investigate, which made the people in Qinghe Village panic, especially since Wen An did not give everyone a reasonable explanation for this matter.
Growing cannabis was not a small matter.
Now, faced with distributors making things difficult, they would not understand Wen An’s challenges and would only think that he was incompetent.
Wen An could maintain his original intention and firmly support Chu Ning, but there were thousands of people in Qinghe Village. They would not support and understand Chu Ning unconditionally.
They only cared about whether Chu Ning could bring them benefits.
In the greenhouse area, a resident of Qinghe Village said helplessly to the cocky Zhang Quan, “Mr. Zhang, you bought tomatoes at 6 yuan per kilogram previously. Our planting costs are almost 3 yuan. If you buy them at 4 yuan now, we won’t make much money.”
At that point, the phenomenon was not unique. Other farmers were also experiencing the same predicament.
These small distributors were offering very low prices. It was not just tomatoes. The more profitable the vegetables were, the more the distributors would reduce the profit margin.
Zhang Quan was one of the few distributors who had been dealt with by Chu Ning.
Moreover, they had also become the messengers when Chu Ning challenged Yang Feng.
But now that the situation had changed, who would have thought that they would be able to act arrogantly again in the near future?
Zhang Quan looked at the residents of Qinghe Village. They could only lower their heads and smile apologetically as they cowered before him. With an impatient expression, he said, “You dislike the low price? Alright! You can ship these things out of M City or even out of the province. Why do you want to do business with me? I didn’t force you to sell it to me. Go on!”
While making money, he wanted to vent his anger towards Chu Ning at the same time. He could not deal with Chu Ning directly. He did not have the strength to do so.
However, it was still very easy to control the residents of Qinghe Village.
Chu Ning had treated him like a nobody before, and now it was finally his turn to take revenge!
“Mr. Zhang, aren’t you joking with us? If we transport it to other cities, we will have to compete with the local farmers. The price will definitely be very low. In addition to the transportation costs and damages along the way, not only will we not make anything, we will only lose money,” the Qinghe villager replied with a bitter smile.
Even though he knew that Zhang Quan was deliberately making things difficult for him, he had no choice. Apart from Runfa Shopping Mall, some other supermarkets and distributors likewise ignored them.
It was as if they had discussed it collectively and deliberately ignored Qinghe Village.
They didn’t reject it, but the price was ridiculously low.
In comparison, the price that Zhang Quan and the others offered was already considered ‘benevolent’.
“What does it have to do with me if you guys lose money? Was it caused by me? It’s all the fault of your Village Chief Wen! Previously, you complained that our price was too low. Are you feeling better now? Who else would come to your Qinghe Village to collect goods? Have you realized the seriousness of the problem now? Unfortunately, it’s too late. Take it or leave it. If you agree, quickly load the goods into my vehicle. If you don’t agree, then forget it.” Zhang Quan’s attitude was extremely haughty. With Yang Feng’s hidden support, he had a lot of confidence.
