Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Liu Zheng’s Lack of Thorough Consideration
If that’s the case, it seems their previous worries should no longer exist.
"Alright, the trouble has now been resolved, you should hurry up and prepare to start construction, I still have some other matters to discuss with those three, by the way, do you have the time to come with me?"
At this moment, Liu Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something, then turned his head to look at the contractor and asked.
"Of course, Chief, no problem, I’ll go arrange the workers’ schedule for today, and then I’ll come and meet with you right away."
With those words, he swiftly got up and left the place. In the end, Liu Zheng once again approached the three young men.
"Good, well done. This time you truly showed me your integrity, so rest assured, I will certainly make things right with you in the future."
"But Chief, the only thing we’re worried about now is how to explain this to Old Master Yang when we get back. He’s bound to fly into a rage. Moreover, I’m afraid he’ll use this against us. We’ve indeed helped you now, but the key problem is, how do we go on after we return?"
"For now, you can choose not to go back, don’t face him, and wait, I will be arriving at your village soon, and I’ll meet with him as soon as possible to discuss the matter. Don’t worry, I’m confident, and I also have the ability to make him step down voluntarily."
"That’s wonderful. If that’s the case, we have nothing to worry about. Well then, we’ll take our leave first, goodbye, Chief."
These people had completely changed their attitude, and the feelings of hate they once had were now gone, as they were indeed impressed by Liu Zheng.
In terms of fighting ability, even if the three of them joined forces, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance against Liu Zheng. Until now, they still didn’t understand what Liu Zheng had done to them.
He hardly used any force and effortlessly took control of each of them, which proved that Liu Zheng indeed had that capability. Therefore, instead of resisting, it was better to compromise. Perhaps, by doing so, their outcome would be much better.
"Hmm, they’ve left, have they? Chief, do you have any other arrangements here?"
"I would like to ask you, what do you know about Village Chief Yang? Can you tell me more about him? Also, you mentioned his son also serves as the accountant for the village committee. Does he have his own main business, and what is it?"
"Actually, he’s doing this for his son, but it might be that his son is rather timid and doesn’t want him to act this way. His son is involved in the purchase of agricultural and sideline products in the village. After purchasing, he sells them in the city, only I’m not sure about his distribution channels. Anyway, this is what he’s been doing every year."
"I see, no wonder he’s so opposed to this and made such a fuss. He’s worried about his son’s distribution channels being affected in the future, right?"
"Exactly. That’s why I think you should sit down and have a good talk with him. This is his son’s phone number."
As he spoke, the contractor took a prepared piece of paper out of his pocket. He had already made preparations beforehand and knew exactly what Liu Zheng needed at that moment.
Liu Zheng just took it, nodded satisfactorily, and then tucked the paper back into his clothes.
"Jia Xin, I’ve tried to tidy up things on my end, so there’s no need to worry about the construction site now, but I must resolve the issue with that village chief as soon as possible and not drag it out."
"What do you plan to do?"
"I’m going to meet with him as soon as possible, have a good talk, and, if possible, take over the village in a comprehensive way. I don’t want to have any conflict with them."
"The key issue is, with his wastrel nature, can he really do that? Now, he could arrange for so many villagers to come here and cause trouble, I believe, even if you went there today, it’s unlikely he would compromise or agree."
"What of that? If he doesn’t want to compromise or agree, there’s really no need for me to worry about this. After all, I’m already in touch with his son. I’ve had a talk over the phone with him, and I’ve arranged to meet him under the big locust tree next to their village."
"His son... Oh, I remember now. Yang said earlier that his son was indeed the village accountant, very timid, nothing like his father’s domineering character."
"Right, that’s the case, so I want to use that to my advantage. Another thing, you have to promise—if, because of our factory, his revenue is affected, would you consider giving him the role of a middleman? Then, find some work for him to do?"
"If we purchase directly from the farmers, the cost would be lower. If it goes through him, my costs would naturally increase. Tell me, if I were to do this, wouldn’t it be as pointless as taking off my trousers to fart?"
Ah yes, Liu Zheng, who had never been in business, had not thought of that. Now thinking it over carefully, Liu Jiaxin indeed had a point.
Doing so seemed to inadvertently lower their costs, but if not, how should he handle all this?
He furrowed his brow slightly.
"Let’s do this. Once the factory is built, we’ll need someone to be responsible for purchasing these agricultural products. If not, let’s arrange for him to work in the factory. He might not earn as much as he does from direct purchasing, but it would be more stable. That’s really all I can do now."
Liu Jiaxin suggested this to Liu Zheng, who, after hearing it, smiled gratefully. Indeed, Liu Jiaxin had been a great help to him this time, and he deeply appreciated it.
