Chapter 481: 116: Regret Medicine_1

It was precisely because those people kept suppressing the price that as long as Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong offered more than four yuan, they would sell.

But Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong did not do so.

They did not take advantage of the situation like others did.

Not only did they not exploit the opportunity, but they actually raised the price.

At this moment, Liu Xiao just couldn’t express what he was feeling.

He just felt...

His eyes were somewhat sour.

Boss Li?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cuinong immediately asked, "A Li? Is his full name Li Wancai?"

Apart from Li Wancai, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would do such a despicable thing.

Without waiting for Liu Xiao to speak, Wu Haoming immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I even have his business card."

Saying that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Cuinong.

Not only did the business card bear Li Wancai’s name, but it also had his photo printed on it.

As Zhao Cuinong took the business card from Wu Haoming, she couldn’t help but curse, "This damn Li Wancai, I thought he was offering a median price to buy back! I didn’t expect him to come here to bully people!"

It was simply disgusting.

Although she had already terminated the contract with Li Wancai, Zhao Cuinong grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could kick Li Wancai right then and there.

When she first partnered with Li Wancai, he had tricked them by saying the buy-back price for lotus flowers was 1 yuan for 3 blossoms, claiming there wasn’t much profit in it, and he even wanted to raise the price then...

Who would have thought he would secretly suppress the price to this extent!

He was truly a scoundrel.

Lucky.

Lucky that they did not let such a heartless creature as Li Wancai succeed, otherwise Zhao Cuinong would be infuriated to death by such a person.

Looking up and seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone’s faces, Zhao Cuinong went on to explain, "This Li Wancai was our partner until yesterday; he was in charge of buying, and we got our supplies from him. However, he suddenly breached the contract yesterday due to being bought out, leaving us without raw materials. Without any choice, we had to find a supplier ourselves, and that’s how we learned about Huayuan Village. We feared that you might face the same problem, so we increased the penalty for breach of contract significantly."

Once bitten, twice shy.

Being swindled once was enough, so even now that they understood the situation in Huayuan Village, they wouldn’t lower the penalty for breach of contract.

Having a penalty clause added offered them an extra layer of protection.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao immediately said, "President Lin, Director Zhao, please be assured, I can’t guarantee other things, but I can vouch for my personal integrity that our village will absolutely not breach the contract. Given that you are still willing to pay such a high price for our goods under these circumstances, it would be too against all conscience for us to breach the contract!"

Liu Xiao grew up in Huayuan Village, and the villagers there were very simple and grateful; they would never do such a thing.

Let alone a price several times higher, even if it were ten times higher, they wouldn’t be swayed by money.

As soon as Liu Xiao’s words fell, Wu Haoming patted his chest and said, "Xiao Wazi is right, you two are nothing short of our great benefactors in Huayuan Village! From now on, if anyone dares to breach the contract, I, Wu, will be the first to not let them off the hook!"

The village chief also patted his chest in agreement.

Lin Guixiang had not expected things to go so smoothly and nodded with a smile, "Since everyone confirms there’s no issue with the contract, then let’s sign it."

"Sure." Liu Xiao immediately fetched a pen and continued, "President Lin, Director Zhao, tomorrow we’ll take you on a tour of the fields in the village."

Lin Guixiang gave a slight nod.

After signing the contract, Liu Xiao expressed his thanks again, "President Lin, I really can’t thank you enough! May I be so bold as to ask why, even after knowing Boss Li’s buy-back price, you still chose not to deliberately suppress the price?"

Not everyone could do what Lin Guixiang did.

You see.

The difference between one yuan for two blossoms and ten yuan per kilogram is huge.

For ten yuan, one could already buy over a hundred dried lotus flowers, but at one yuan for two blossoms, ten yuan can only get you twenty blossoms!

That’s a fivefold difference!

Moreover, their village had never before sold at such a high price.

Lin Guixiang smiled and said, "Because my daughter once said ’cheap grain hurts the farmers,’ we can lower any price, but we must never squeeze the hard-earned money of the farmers. It is only when everyone profits that we have a situation of mutual benefit."

Cooperative win-win.

A simple phrase, yet it rang with a profound impact.

Cheap grain hurts the farmers.

The moment Liu Xiao heard this, he was completely stunned.

In today’s business world, most focus on profits, concerned only with making money for themselves. But who really cares about the welfare of the farmers?

Let alone caring for the farmers’ welfare.

Even not exploiting the farmers would already be cause for immense gratitude.
