Chapter 579 Evil guest, taking advantage of the situation
"Village chief, I brought some guests to our village, and they want to invest in us."
Xu San rushed into the village chief's house in a hurry. Before he could even enter, he started shouting loudly, his tone full of pride.
Village chief Yu Hongjun is an honest and honest man.
Hearing Xu San's words, he asked curiously.
"Third child of his old Xu family, you haven't been back for a long time. Are you back from wandering in the city? And what is investment? Please tell me carefully."
He has watched Xu San grow up since he was a child. This kid has many ideas and is a slippery man.
A few years ago, I heard from his family that he went to the city to work. Unexpectedly, he suddenly came back today and said he had brought some guests.
This is really a rare thing.
“Investment means people give us money to help us develop and build... You don’t know that the world outside has changed. People often ask us to be tolerant and open and adhere to the new path.
Achieve common prosperity...""
Xu San kept talking and gesticulating, and spittle flew everywhere for a while.
Yu Hongjun finally understood.
He took a few puffs of dry cigarettes.
Then he asked crumpledly.
"People are willing to give us money, and it's such a good thing, but what do they want from us?"
He doesn't believe there is such a good thing in the world.
Xu San quickly persuaded.
"Village Chief, you don't care what other people want. Anyway, just give us money. Once you have the money, what better than nothing? And I've already inquired about it. They plan to invest tens of thousands in our village, saying they want to develop medicine.
Tian, calling on everyone to grow herbal medicine."
Herbal medicine is a specialty of the Northeast. Whenever the herbal medicine matures, women in the village will take their children to the mountains to pick it, and then sell it to the pharmacists who come to the village to supplement their family income.
As for specialized medicinal fields, there are none here.
After all, food is the most important thing for the people.
In this black land, the most common foods are corn, soybeans, and rice.
For them, food is the most important thing.
But that’s tens of thousands of dollars...
In this day and age, this is a huge sum of money.
Yu Hongjun's breathing became a little rapid.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head like a rattle and said insistently.
"No, we can't ask for this money randomly. We still have to ask clearly. What if someone asks for a lot and we can't fulfill it?"
Xu San said anxiously.
"Village chief, why don't you meet them first? I won't hide it from you. I have already brought those people and they are outside."
Yu Hongjun thought it would be okay to meet him, so he said.
"Okay, you can bring it in."
Xu Sanlin turned around and walked out.
Yu Hongjun was curious and asked casually.
"By the way, where did you find these businessmen you mentioned?"
Xu San said casually.
"Oh, he's a businessman from Tiaobenji. I met him in the city."
Yu Hongjun's face turned dark immediately.
……
The next day.
Topics about Japanese people.
He occupied the top spot in the village gossip world.
I heard that those businessmen from Japan were willing to spend money on the village and promised to provide technology to help the big guys open up medicinal fields, and then they would buy it at a high price.
The village chief refused without even thinking.
However, those few businessmen had letters of introduction from the officials, so they stayed in the village and called it an inspection.
Because of this matter, the village started arguing.
In the end, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that these Japanese businessmen could not be so kind, and there was definitely an agenda behind them.
Anyway, everyone refuses to invest in Foot Pot Chicken.
Xu San walked over from the entrance of the village.
I heard everyone talking about this along the way, and I felt very uncomfortable.
"I said you are so weird. People are willing to spend money on our village. Isn't this a good thing?"
A man retorted coldly.
"Good thing, why don't I think those chickens have such good intentions? Maybe they have some bad ideas in their stomachs."
Xu San rolled his eyelids.
"They gave our village money and provided technical support. Just tell me, what bad ideas could there be in this?"
The man was speechless for a moment.
Xu San snorted, as if he didn't bother arguing with this man, and walked away triumphantly.
The man flew into a rage and cursed angrily.
"You're such a rip-off guy, why don't a stone fall from the sky and hit you like a fool?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a crackling sound in my ears.
The men were a little confused.
What's going on? Could it be that my words came true and rocks really fell from the sky?
"Oh no, it's hailing outside!"
Suddenly there was a panicked roar outside.
The man quickly looked up.
I don’t know when, the sky became as dark as ink, and fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky like meteors, densely packed, covering a large area.
The man’s mind went blank.
There is only one idea in his mind.
"This is bad."
.......
The time now is September.
The humidity in the forest area is high, the temperature is unstable, and it sometimes rains.
After all, one autumn rain and another cold.
But hail in autumn is still rare.
What's more, it's the first time for the villagers to see hailstones as big as today.
I saw hailstones as big as fists falling down on the roads in the village, leaving everything in sight. The villagers who were still staying outside were so frightened when they saw this scene that they dropped what they were doing and didn't care.
Sayazi ran under the eaves.
This piece of ice falling from the sky is no joke.
It hit the ground with a clang.
If you run slowly, you will be hit slightly, and your skin will be torn apart.
Fortunately, the hail came and went quickly. After about ten minutes, a strong wind blew over and swept away the dark clouds in the sky.
But before people could rejoice, a sharp-eyed villager said.
"It's bad, the hailstorm has gone south. That's our village's crop land."
Everyone felt despair.
.......
There is a saying in the countryside that "hail strikes the first line", which means that the crops on this line that are hit by hail will basically not be spared.
After the hailstorm passed, Yu Hongjun took the villagers to the crop fields and saw a mess.
The corns were lying down in patches, the soybean fields were also pockmarked, and the leaves and the small edamame beans that had not grown yet fell to the ground. Other places were not optimistic either.
Originally, the harvest could be harvested in another month or two, but looking at the situation today, although the production may not necessarily be cut off, a reduction in production is certain.
This is the helplessness of farmers who depend on the weather to make ends meet.
Yu Hongjun sighed, then suppressed his emotions and immediately led people to rescue him.
At night, Yu Hongjun looked at the desperate villagers, took a deep breath, and turned around to enter Xu San's house.
The impact of the hailstorm was too deep.
The only way he can think of now is to cooperate with the Japanese.
Let’s see if we can make up for the villagers’ losses.
"San'er, you said the other day that the Japanese wanted to cooperate with us. I thought about it and thought we could still talk about it."
Xu San looked at Yu Hongjun, who came over to hope that he would intercede, and sneered in his heart.
Do you think of me now?
I don’t know who secretly called me a traitor.
He suddenly felt that hailstorm was not a bad thing.
Xu San pretended for a long time before "reluctantly" agreeing to the Red Army's entreaty.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Xu San went to find a Japanese businessman. He didn't know what they discussed. It took a while before he came back.
"Those businessmen have agreed to invest in building a factory, but the conditions need to be discussed carefully..."
He opened his mouth and said a series of harsh conditions.
