“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaohui proudly took credit, “How about it, Liangping, you got one.”

Hou Liangping was a little surprised. “I asked their purchasing department yesterday, didn’t they say they had a supplier?”

Zhao Xiaohui smiled slightly, “It’s definitely different if you ask me. Although I’m just a secretary, I represent the county magistrate. How dare he object?”

Hou Liangping frowned, “Will there be any problem with this?”

“Don’t worry, he will buy from others as well as from us. Besides, their construction company has huge profits. He is just taking some food. When the time comes, you can negotiate at your price. The other party will definitely agree.”

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

For the smooth progress of the project, no one wants to make a big deal out of something that can be solved with a little money.

Zhao Xiaohui then called the person in charge of Longteng Group.

As Zhao Xiaoya’s sister, Longteng Group did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed to purchase Hou Liangping’s vegetables.

Next was Jiang’s, but there was a problem at Jiang’s. Jiang Mao was not going to indulge Zhao Xiaohui. “I’m sorry, Secretary Zhao, our company cafeteria already has a vegetable supplier, and we have no plans to change it for the time being.”

On the surface, everyone knows that the Jiang family has a close relationship with Nanshu.

At least on the surface, it is normal not to give face to County Magistrate Li. This is a matter of position.

Zhao Xiaohui’s face froze. “Boss Jiang, this is planted in our local township. Can’t you support it?”

“What you said, aren’t the vegetables I purchased grown by the people of Hekou County? Well, if Secretary Zhao has nothing else to say, then that’s it. I have something else to do. Goodbye,”

Before Zhao Xiaohui could react, a long busy tone came from the phone.

Young Zhao Xiaohui’s displeasure immediately showed on her face. In Handong, no one dared to treat her like that.

Hou Liangping consoled her, “Xiaohui, two are good enough. I’ll see if I can get the rest to the city.”

Zhao Xiaohui forced herself to smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. There’s another Longteng Hotel in Yantai County. I can contact them for you. There’s basically no problem.”

Hou Liangping was delighted. “That’s great. These three companies can solve many of my sales problems.”

Soon, Hou Liangping was defeated by his own naivety.

Because he did not build a cold storage in the village in advance.

Thirty acres of vegetables are all in season.

Vegetables, once they bear fruit, will grow very fast.

For crops like cucumbers and beans, basically one crop needs to be harvested every day.

One acre of land can produce at least 5,000 kilograms of beans, and even more cucumbers.

Thirty acres of vegetables is a lot, but with only two hotels and a construction company, with at most a thousand people, how can they be consumed in a short time?

If they are not sold in time, they must be preserved, otherwise they will rot in the fields.

Chapter 224 Let Hou Liangping catch corrupt officials

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Xiaohe Village was bustling with people watching the fun.

Greenhouse cultivation seems to be a rare thing at first glance. People in nearby villages also want to learn it secretly. If it can make money, they will also plant a few acres of land next year.

“Harvest!” The old village chief gave an order, and the villagers picked vegetables happily.

He didn’t notice Hou Liangping at all who was forcing a smile.

In half a month, Hou Liangping traveled to various places in Handong and made full use of the favors he had accumulated over the years.

To this day, Hou Liangping has not completed half of his sales plan.

And even for the completed part, many orders cannot be completed because transportation is a big problem.

The township government has two trucks, and the party secretary Niu Guotao also agreed to lend them to Xiaohe Village, but the village needs to bear the fuel costs themselves.

With this calculation, the cost becomes extremely high, and you may even lose money.

It was only then that he realized that he could not replicate the model of Qijia Village at all.

The other party not only contracted the sales task to the sales team of Lone Eagle Town.

Moreover, because it is invested by Huawei Group, it can not only use Huawei Group’s special truck lines to ship products to various parts of the country, but also sell domestically to Huawei Group.

Leaning against a big tree provides shade and this is how Qijia Village has built a growing vegetable base of over 500 acres.

Xiaohe Village does not have such conditions.

Hou Liangping also thought about getting in touch with Huawei Group.

But he was just a small village chief and was rejected because he couldn’t even meet a manager under Huawei Group.

Upon learning that Huawei Group and Longteng were cooperating on a winery, he placed his hopes on Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui responded quickly, saying that she was helpless and her sister would not help.

Zhao Xiaoya already knew about the grudge between Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping. She regretted transferring Hou Liangping in the first place, so how could she possibly help him again?

She was not unaware of the relationship between Huawei Group and Qi Tongwei.

If I interfere again, I would be disrespecting Qi Tongwei.

The old village chief excitedly held the green cucumbers and came to Hou Liangping, “Liangping, the cucumbers grown in this greenhouse are so beautiful. We should be able to sell them for a lot of money.”

Hou Liangping smiled and said, “Yes, we can sell a lot. Village chief, you can direct the villagers to pick the fruits first. I will go to the county first.”

He could only place his last hope on his old senior.

Even he had to admit that the other party’s ability in economics was really strong.

The old village chief didn’t doubt him and patted his chest, “Okay, leave this to me, you can go with peace of mind. By the way, where should we send the loaded truck first?”

Hou Liangping thought about it and decided to go all out, not caring whether it would be consumed or not. He waved his hand and said, “One truck will be sent to Longteng Hotel, and the other truck will be sent to Dalu Construction Company.”

Let’s deal with today’s two cars first, and worry about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow.

“What about the rest?”

“Don’t rush to pick the rest. Wait until I come back.” After saying that, Hou Liangping got on his bicycle and rushed out of Xiaohe Village.

For more than half a year, Hou Liangping has been hiding his relationship with Qi Tongwei and didn’t want others to know, but today he can’t care about it.

“Senior, even if you scold me this time, I will still come to get close to you.” As soon as he entered the door, Hou Liangping said with a worried face.

Qi Tongwei was stunned and said with a smile: “What’s wrong? This is? Liangping, this is not your style.”

Hou Liangping lowered his posture, shook his head and smiled bitterly, “As for me, I’m really not as good as you in economics.

You know, this year I started greenhouse planting in Xiaohe Village, and I found out that there is a lot of knowledge involved. The harvest is almost here, but I still have most of it to sell, so I came to you for help.”

“So that’s what happened. You shouldn’t have come to me. You should have gone to the vegetable wholesale markets in various cities. There are specialized buyers there. You can find a few of them. You can sell your thirty acres of land at will.”

“To be honest, I did drink a lot of wine when I went there, but the price was really too low.”

Qi Tongwei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said: “You can’t just focus on the price. You can’t be impatient in the first year. You have to open up more sales channels first, and then continue to expand your network.

Next year, you can compare prices in different places. For example, if the price of cucumbers in one area is high, you can sell more and sell less in another area, and make a profit from the difference.”

“Then you won’t make much money!”

“Real business only makes limited profits. Huge profits cannot last long.”

Hou Liangping suddenly understood and sighed, “Senior, I really regret not coming to see you earlier.

But I have already rejected them, and it is too late to sign the contract now.”

Qi Tongwei thought about it and offered a solution, “Well, you can ask the village to send beans, peppers, and cucumbers, which are the three fastest growing crops, to Jinshan County.

When I was the secretary of Guying Town, I founded two canning factories. One of them made pickled foods and also produced some canned vegetables.

I’ll give you a call and ask them to label your canned food under the Xiaohe Village brand. I think that will solve the problem of preserving vegetables.”

Hou Liangping asked: “So, senior, how should I sell the canned food?”

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Hou Liangping and said, “Liangping, it seems that you are really not cut out for business.

The characteristic of canned food is that it is easy to carry and store. What kind of people do you think are most suitable to buy this kind of item? “

Hou Liangping thought for a moment and blurted out, “Someone who is going on a long journey.”

“Right. So if you want to sell quickly, you should find a way to get it to the station, or even the train station.” Qi Tongwei gave a thumbs up, and then said, “Let me give you some pointers. There is only one Beijing-Hankou railway in our province. It is not easy to get canned goods on the train. You don’t need me to remind you who you should find.”

The last sentence seems meaningful.

Hou Liangping knew that Qi Tongwei was talking about Zhao Xiaohui. He wanted to explain that they were just friends, but he felt powerless.

But the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang forced him to explain, “Senior, the relationship between Zhao Xiaohui and I is not what you think.”

Qi Tongwei nodded, with something else in his words, “I understand, I understand.”

Without waiting for Hou Liangping to continue explaining, Qi Tongwei changed the subject and said, “Liangping, I find that you are indeed not suitable for these administrative tasks. Are you interested in returning to your profession?”

Hou Liangping asked: “What do you mean?”

Qi Tongwei sighed and said, “From what I understand, corruption is a very serious problem in our county.

I have always wanted to do this, but unfortunately I don’t have any professional talent. I just want to ask if you are willing. Of course, if you are not willing, just ignore what I said and continue to work as the village party secretary. That’s fine.”

Hou Liangping’s eyes lit up.

Catch corrupt officials!

This is my favorite job. Just like Chen Yanshi, I am not afraid of danger and I catch those bad guys and put them on trial. It’s exciting just thinking about it.

But when he turned around, Zhao Xiaohui’s expectant eyes appeared in his mind, and Qi Tongwei hesitated.

“Excuse me, Senior, I may need to think about this.”

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, “It’s okay, but I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible.

If you don’t want to, I can find a way to second some people from other places, because I don’t trust the people here.”

…

Chapter 225: Degree of Humbleness

Nanxiang Road Police Station.

“Hey, isn’t this Officer Cheng?”

As soon as he walked out of the police station on patrol, he ran into He Wei, who was limping with a crutch.

There were four or five younger brothers following behind him, and the smell of hangover alcohol hit his nostrils.

He looks just like the character跛豪 in Hong Kong drama.

The corners of Dudu’s mouth twitched, and he looked at his colleagues who were patrolling with him, then tactfully ran back to the station.

He was mentally prepared for today’s scene.

He has always regretted the arrest operation last year in which the county party secretary’s brother-in-law was beaten.

Even the joy of becoming a regular employee later failed to dispel the gloom in my heart.

Is it okay to offend the county party secretary?

Although he was somewhat surprised later that Director Wang suddenly tried his best to protect him, allowing him to spend a lot of peaceful days.

But today is different from the past.

He felt that he was being abandoned by Wang Fugui.

When the accident just happened, Wang Fugui took him with him every day, taught him by example, and was extremely affectionate.

Even if he meets He Wei, Wang Fugui will stand up for him and support him.

As time goes by, I seem to be forgotten and marginalized step by step.

First, he was promoted from secretary treatment to an ordinary police officer, and then he was demoted to the Nanxiang Road Police Station to become a grassroots police officer.

Until now, we meet from time to time, and at most I give him a few words of encouragement. We no longer have the same enthusiasm as we did in the past.

If I don’t resolve this matter before Wang Fugui completely forgets about me, I will probably die a miserable death.
