Grassroots affairs are always very difficult to handle, and only nerds who are not familiar with the world think that as long as the intention is good, good results can be achieved. Wen Liang is not a nerd, so he used a little trickery to stir up the seemingly indestructible tea growers' alliance.
With the cracks and differences, people will no longer stick to one path, but will carefully consider the feasibility and rationality of Wen Liang's suggestions. When Wen Liang explained the charter, functions, composition and operation mode of the Biluochun Tea Professional Cooperative one by one, several villagers with sharp minds and active thinking squeezed to the front and listened carefully to every word Wen Liang said, fearing that they would miss something important.
"… The cooperative adopts a shareholding system, implements independent financial management and accounting, operates independently, and is responsible for its own profits and losses. Members of the cooperative can use cash, tea gardens, and technology as capital to invest, share benefits, and share risks…"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Why are you hesitating whether to continue planting tea trees? It's because you're afraid that the tea market will be sluggish this spring and you might lose everything. So once a cooperative is established, the original 100% risk will be distributed to each person at less than 1%, but the profit will only increase, not decrease!"
"… The cooperative will cooperate with our company to provide you with the latest and most timely market information, purchase and supply production materials at the lowest cost, introduce new varieties and new technologies, organize technical guidance and training for members free of charge, and provide a one-stop service for tea picking, processing and sales, which is safe and secure, and saves you time and effort…"
Biluochun Tea Cooperative is an effective economic cooperation model widely adopted by Wujiang tea farmers in later generations. It has been tested and tested in practice. Wen Liang just put it forward five years in advance. However, in the current sluggish market environment, it should be said that it is the most appropriate and reasonable way to boost the confidence of tea farmers and solve the dilemma of Biluochun.
After saying this, even the man who initially scolded Liu Laosan was moved and asked, "Who has the final say in the cooperative? Should the government send someone to lead it, or should we villagers make the decisions ourselves
"This is the villagers' own cooperative, so of course the villagers are in charge. The cooperative can set up a board of directors, whose members will be elected. The specific charter can be passed after detailed discussion at the general meeting of members, and it must be open, fair and just."
With someone taking the lead, the scene immediately became lively, and people came out from time to time to ask Wen Liang questions. Uncle Wen was all smiles, and he never turned anyone away, doing his best to give a satisfactory answer to everyone who had a question. For a moment, Wen Liang seemed to be back on the eve of his senior year, when he stood on the podium in the classroom, nervously answering questions from the teachers sitting in three rows below.
The only difference is that at that time, he was bidding farewell to his innocent youth and naive years.
But at this moment, he was trying his best to control his own life and the lives of many people!
After a long briefing, Wen Liang put aside all the hypocritical words and made his final summary in the simplest and plainest words: "In the final analysis, only when everyone is well and willing to grow and pick tea, my company can sell tea and have income and profits. We are grasshoppers on the same rope and no one can do without each other."
There was a lot of murmurs in the audience, and many people were tempted. They could continue to make a living from the tea garden without taking such a big risk, so naturally they couldn't say no. But after all, tea farmers had limited experience, and no one knew whether this unprecedented cooperation model would be as good as Wen Liang said.
When the situation was at a stalemate, Wang Qiming suddenly stood up and said, "I am willing to participate. Mr. Wen is a good man and will never lie to us."
Wang Qiming was old and well-known in the village. He was also the victim of the riot. Seeing that he had come out to support Wen Liang, many people no longer hesitated and shouted, "Yes, I am willing to participate, too!"
"It's death either way, the worst that can happen is I'll lose the tea garden, I'll do it!"
"At least this is a way to make a living. I will listen to everyone and join if they want to."
The old man would naturally not go against the will of the crowd, and said to Wen Liang: "Boss Wen, we agree with your idea. Let us discuss it privately first, and then we will give you a reply later."
Wen Liang smiled and nodded, helping the old man down the stairs. Looking back, everyone from An Baoqing to Fan Bo, Ye Zhiwei, Yao Shang, Zhao Xiaoquan and others seemed to be relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
No one expected that such a huge storm and the tea garden acquisition issue that made countless people feel difficult could be easily resolved by Wen Liang.
It is just like that, to make light of a heavy thing!
Back in the main hall, Zhao Xiaoquan took Wen Liang's hand and flattered him, as if they had met too late and wanted to make friends. If it weren't for his small eyes, he might have really moved others. Yao Shang was also surprised. She was not only impressed by Wen Liang, but also had the urge to look up to him. According to her idea, Wen Liang came here to either use money to attack people, meet difficulties head-on, and increase the price to purchase the stubborn households, or shrink the front line, take the easy way out, and reduce the number of tea gardens he wanted to buy. But she never expected that he would take another path, and with a slight detour, he would effortlessly take the entire Donghe Village into his hands.
Everyone in the hall is smart, and they all understand that as long as the villagers join the cooperative and elect a board of directors, there will only be three or five people in charge. Which is easier, dealing with three or five people, or dealing with three or five hundred people
This is a choice that even a three-year-old child can understand!
Zhao Xiaoquan was flattering smoothly when he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Wen, I'm afraid we need to talk to Secretary Fu about this first..."
"When I came here, Secretary Fu had already given me full authority to handle the affairs of Donghe Village, Director Yao, don't you agree?"
Yao Shang nodded and said with a gentle smile: "I will report to Secretary Fu when I return, so you can rest assured."
Zhao Xiaoquan laughed and said, "That's good, that's good! But Mr. Wen, your demeanor just now was really..."
There was another torrential downpour of flattery. An Baoqing saw that Wen Liang was annoyed by Zhao Xiaoquan and came out to rescue him. Wen Liang wiped his forehead and smiled bitterly, "I thought the folk customs in Jiangnan were simple and elegant, and the officialdom might be different. I didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoquan alone was enough to defeat ten people in Qingzhou!"
An Baoqing said with a smile: "Suhai has a developed economy, and Wujiang is a regional center. I wonder how many people would fight for the position of town mayor. If Zhao Xiaoquan doesn't have any special skills, it won't be his turn to be the mayor."
Wen Liang laughed. How could Zhao Xiaoquan not forget to report to Fu Minzhi at this time? How could he be a man without any schemes? However, everyone was in the circle. The eldest brother didn't say the second brother, so he could only shake his head.
Seeing that Wen Liang was in a good mood, An Baoqing hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Mr. Wen, the cooperative's method can certainly reduce a lot of resistance, but if they unite to drive up the market price, we will suffer losses then."
Wen Liang looked at the crowd outside the court, his eyes flickering with wisdom, and said, "So absolute justice is impossible. The following clause should be added to the general rules of the cooperative: This organization will carry out production and business activities under the guidance, supervision and coordination of the administrative department of Wujiang County Agricultural Bureau and the Tea Office. Brother Jiu, I treat others with sincerity, and it may not be so easy for others to be disloyal to me..."
An Baoqing smiled knowingly. Wen Liang had never let him down since they met. Ye Zhiwei glanced at Fan Bo. Whether there was any hidden meaning in Wen Liang's words, he could only understand it himself.
Fan Bo had not thought of this. Although he was very knowledgeable, he had stayed in school for too long, and his ability to guess people's minds could not be compared with Ye Zhiwei, who had worked his way up from the bottom. After hearing Wen Liang's idea of a cooperative, Fan Bo was more concerned about whether the cooperative approach or his own plan to forcibly purchase 7,000 acres of tea gardens was better.
Wen Liang's intention was very clear. He gave up the ownership of the tea garden, but controlled the tea growers within a controllable range through the nature of the cooperative. This would not only reduce costs, but also fully mobilize the work enthusiasm of the tea growers. No matter how you look at it, it was impeccable, especially as it was a solution he hastily came up with after he caused trouble. It was truly admirable and awe-inspiring.
But the only problem is that doing so will increase the risks for the company. If the tea growers, who are originally scattered, unite through such an organization and resist the company's unified purchase price, or make other excessive demands, then the cooperative will become too big to be eliminated and may very likely end up raising a tiger to harm it and suffer the consequences.
However, he did not dare to say much at this time, as he had caused such a big disaster for Wen Liang when he was on his own for the first time. It was not until An Baoqing asked his question that Wen Liang's answer convinced him.
At such a young age, he has such scheming and cunning, and such abilities and means. He can make things happen without any flaws. Who can help but admire him
Wen Liang had such a sharp eye that he could tell what Fan Bo was thinking. He said, "Teacher Fan, the first thing you need to understand when doing business is that we don't have enemies. We only have partners who can cooperate with us, and friends who can't cooperate with us! Even if the deal doesn't work out, there is still friendship. Don't always think about how to maximize your profits. I'll give you two words, and you can experience it yourself - win-win!"
Leaving Fan Bo alone to ponder, Wen Liang turned to find Yao Shang and Zhao Xiaoquan. Many follow-up tasks still depend on the government. After a while, the villagers' opinions came back and they basically agreed to establish the Donghe Village Biluochun Tea Professional Cooperative. The specific charter will be drafted and improved together with the township staff according to Wen Liang's ideas. Zhao Xiaoquan will not go back today and will personally stay in the village to be responsible for the implementation of this matter.
Wen Liang specifically found Wang Qiming and said that the company would pay for the treatment of his waist injury, and asked Ye Zhiwei to follow up and handle it until it was cured. After finishing all the matters, Wen Liang said goodbye to the villagers and drove back to the county committee with Yao Shang and others.
He also has to meet Fu Minzhi to launch the cooperative plan. Of course, it will not be for Donghe Village alone, but it must be fully implemented in the tea-producing areas of the county. Without this person's approval, it will not work! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.
