Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Let’s Get Rich Together
"I am asking for your opinion first, and if you think it’s feasible, I will proceed with the matter," Lu Youxi said. "Let’s first check the sales status of Hexing Rice and decide from there. Also, I will take a sample of the Grade B rice to try out. If the sales of Hexing Rice are still good, we can immediately put this plan into action."
"Young lady, you sure have strong execution skills!" President Zhang said, smiling. "Alright, let’s proceed this way."
"Additionally, the rice we are currently transporting from Hexing Village is of the highest quality. Those are the ones we picked to transport first. The rest can be sold as Grade B rice," Lu Youxi added.
"Okay." President Zhang reminded, "But we still need to first look at the sales of Hexing Rice."
"Of course," Lu Youxi said with a smile, nodding.
Lu Youxi and the village chief left, and Lu Youxi hailed a taxi.
Once they were in the car, the village chief, who had refrained from speaking out in the company, could no longer hold back and said with relief, "Youxi, you really did well! When did you come up with this? Now, even the remaining rice in our village can be sold at a high price."
"The villagers were debating whether to supply the original factory with the rice. But the factory, knowing they wanted to sell the rice, pressed the price down severely, claiming the quality wasn’t as good as before," the village chief said. "The price is even lower than before."
"Now the villagers also have a rough idea of the rice prices and know that the factory’s offer is excessively low, practically like bullying. With your price as a reference, they are even more reluctant to sell and prefer to keep it at home for their own use."
Lu Youxi nodded and said, "Then, village chief, I’ll have to trouble you to go back to Hexing Village and explain the situation to the villagers. It might not be possible to sell it all, but I am trying. However, I am confident in our Hexing Rice."
"When it’s time, bring some rice from our village and the nearby villages, and we’ll compare it ourselves before letting President Zhang try some."
"Alright," the village chief agreed at once. "I was thinking of calling back to share the good news; I will go back tomorrow and explain everything."
"Thank you, that’s very kind of you," Lu Youxi said.
"It’s no trouble at all," the village chief said. "I was already surprised that we could sell a portion of the rice at a high price. I didn’t expect even the leftovers could be sold. But I didn’t anticipate you would consider the nearby villages as well."
"Those nearby villages are not wealthy either, just like big brothers to Hexing Village," Lu Youxi explained. "Besides, people are naturally envious. If everyone is well-off, or conversely all struggling, then there is peace. But if they’re still poor while our village prospers and gets richer, how can they not be jealous?"
"Don’t think I am maliciously speculating about others, but it’s possible someone might become jealous and act against our village," Lu Youxi continued. "Now that we have the chance, we should include the surrounding villages. Moreover, the rice from these areas is indeed good."
"Once we really start up Hexing Rice, just the production from our village won’t be enough. By pooling the produce from the nearby villages, there won’t be an issue. And we can’t just be satisfied with our current scale; we need to expand and strengthen by including everyone around us," Lu Youxi said, smiling. "Besides, I’ve thought it through."
"By now, the news that our village is making money from selling rice must have spread to the nearby villages. But since I am the one buying the rice from our village, and I am from our village, even if we sell the rice at a high price, they can’t really say anything."
"When we announce our partnership with Dongshenglai and Sincere Supermarket to the villagers, all the surrounding villages will know. At that time, it won’t just be me buying the rice, and surely people in the surrounding villages will wonder why they can’t sell their rice when Hexing Village can. Once they can’t sell theirs, some might indeed get jealous and cause trouble for Hexing Village."
"Moreover, now that Hexing Village isn’t supplying that factory, if the factory decides to carry out some foul play, it could just seize the chance to unite with people from other villages and act against Hexing Village," Lu Youxi said. "I don’t like to suspect others maliciously, but I must prepare for the worst to safeguard us."
"So let’s share the wealth together. I’ll take over the rice selling business from the surrounding villages, and from now on, they will rely on me. If I’m doing well and Hexing Village is doing well, they will be fine too. Unless they really are out of their minds, they won’t cause trouble."
"And as for that factory, after so many years of profiteering, it’s time they faced some losses," Lu Youxi said sternly.
"You’re right," the village chief sighed deeply, exhaling long. "Previously, I was just too excited and overlooked the point you were concerned about."
"Tomorrow when I go back, besides sharing our achievements with everyone in Hexing Village, I will visit every surrounding village, talk to them, and get them to sell some rice. I will make detailed records of the rice from each village, differentiating them for later when we test to identify the differences," the village chief shared his plans with Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi nodded, "You are meticulous in your work; I am reassured."
In the afternoon, at Jiayuexing Supermarket’s headquarters.
President Cheng’s assistant knocked and then entered his office.
"President Cheng," the assistant approached his desk.
"What is it?" President Cheng looked up.
"President Cheng, I just received news that Sincere Supermarket has signed a contract with Hexing Rice. Now, Sincere Supermarket branches nationwide will be stocking Hexing Rice," the assistant rushed to say.
President Cheng, surprised, dropped the pen in his hand. "Didn’t you just say yesterday afternoon that the other two chains had no intention of collaborating with Hexing Rice?" freёnovelkiss.com
The assistant replied, "I didn’t expect it either; Sincere Supermarket said they would consider it, and they really were considering it."
"Yesterday I did ask carefully. Jiahaowang was very indifferent, telling Lu Youxi they would think about it. Sincere Supermarket also said they would consider it, and I thought... I thought Sincere Supermarket had the same attitude as Jiahaowang. I didn’t expect they really..."
"This Sincere Supermarket is quite bold, daring to collaborate with a cottage brand like Hexing Rice," President Cheng asked further. "What price are they buying Hexing Rice for?"
"This information should technically be confidential, but neither Sincere Supermarket nor Hexing Rice seems to want to keep it a secret. They said it’s the same price they offered us," the assistant said.
President Cheng scoffed coldly, "Hmph! Who knows if that’s just boasting? They can say whatever they want, but we don’t necessarily have to believe it. We can’t see the contract; they can claim any price they like."
