"Secretary Li" pointed again, "Chen Zihe from Chengguan Town, you speak up!"
Chen Zihe had previously stated, "Wan Hongcai has held positions as Deputy Township Head and Town Mayor in other villages, and he never managed anything properly. How did he suddenly become enlightened after going to Baliushu? If those wild vegetables on the mountain that even pigs won't eat could be turned into money like he claims, I would twist my head off and let him kick it like a ball!"
At this moment, Chen Zihe stood up, his face neither red nor black: "I said from the beginning that those wild vegetables wouldn't work, and now look, just as they start production, a major quality issue arises! Tens of thousands of dollars have gone down the drain, right?
With the products being substandard, the newly established trading company has become a mere decoration, causing significant losses. As soon as the words were spoken, the leaders on the stage all turned dark-faced. This is like slapping several decision-makers in the face!
Especially Deputy County Magistrate Wu. Although the final investigation report and handling results have not been officially released, the quality incident was caused by his relatives, who were all arranged to work in the factory at his behest.
To deflect the blame, Deputy County Magistrate Wu cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's settle down. Now, let's hear what the spokesperson from Baliushu has to say."
Isn't this obviously bullying? What does this issue have to do with Baliushu?
County Magistrate Gao was about to speak when Qin Chizian stood up again. He picked up the microphone in front of him and said, "I wrote that report back then, and now that there is a problem, I feel very sad! I believe I have an obligation to say something about this matter.
In Huacheng, I heard that there was an issue with the product. It's been almost half a month now, and I want to ask: Has the investigation report on the quality incident been released? Has anyone been held accountable? Are there any corrective measures in place?"
The audience fell silent, while the county mayor and the secretary appeared to be deep in thought. Deputy County Magistrate Wu looked constipated, as if to say: Why are you bringing this up now?
Wu Youshun originally planned to classify the issue with the wild vegetable factory as "mismanagement," but now that Chen Zihe has already made a statement, if this reckless "spokesperson" makes another remark, it will be even harder to clean up the mess beneath him.
Qin Chizian continued, "Even now, I still believe that the wild vegetable processing project is feasible and has a market. However, if we continue with the current production and operation model, even if this issue is resolved, it will still be difficult for us to succeed."
In Huacheng, I also mentioned our wild vegetables, which Huacheng is also quite interested in. However, there have been issues with product quality, and there has never been a resolution. If you are interested in cooperating as a Customer, what would you think?
Even if they were to find out about this situation, would they not suspect that our rattan weaving would also follow in the footsteps of the Wild Vegetable Processing Plant?
There was silence in the audience, and the secretary and the county mayor exchanged opinions with lowered heads on the stage.
Shortly after, Li Honghai asked, "Xiao Qin, in your bold opinion, what should be done next?"
Qin Chizian made a surprising statement: "Let market behavior return to the market. Whether it's the Wild Vegetable Processing Plant or a trading company, they should all be responsible for their own profits and losses, allowing managers to be accountable and producers to fulfill their duties."
There was a buzz of discussion in the audience.
On stage, Deputy County Magistrate Wu's face turned green.
Qin Chizian ignored him; Li Honghai and Gau Songshan were the real big shots. You, Wu Youshun, are at best a "two." Right now, your priority should be to answer to the two big bosses.
A voice came from the audience: "I remember your report mentioned that our local hemp walnuts could be sold for a good price, but as far as I know, someone did collect them this year, and the price is nowhere near what you said—only twenty cents a pound."
Everyone turned to see Wu Jiefeng, the former Town Mayor and current Deputy Director of the Department of Transportation.
A buzz of conversation erupted from the crowd below:
"Before, no one wanted them even if they fell on the ground, but now they can be sold for twenty cents a pound!"
"Yeah, wheat is only a few cents per pound."
...
Originally, I was going to find a job for his old man Director Wu, but I didn't expect that just after expressing an opinion on the disaster of the East, I would be plunged into the vast ocean of People's War.
County Magistrate Gao tapped the table. "Quiet down. Yes, the villagers are selling it for twenty cents a pound, but do you know what price the southern merchants are offering when they come to Baliushu to buy it?"
The room fell silent as everyone awaited County Magistrate Gao to announce the result.
Building suspense, County Magistrate Gao extended a finger.
Below, someone exclaimed:
"Can't be, walnuts for 1 yuan per jin?"
"Good walnuts are only four to six mao, which kind of walnuts can be sold for 1 yuan per jin?"
"Whoever spends so much money to buy this thing must have been kicked by a donkey in the head!"
This was said by the same local leader who once said, "And those sesame walnuts, no one even bothers to pick them up when they fall on the ground. Don't even mention selling them for ten yuan for two, I would be willing to sell them for one yuan per kilogram. The key is that even pigs won't eat that thing, only a fool would want it."
"One? Guess again!" County Magistrate Gao said loudly. "Everyone knows what comes after 'one' in the sequence, but no one dares to guess that number. How could that be?"
County Magistrate Gao raised a finger and didn't put it down for a long time, then crossed it with another hand in a "one" gesture: "I tell you, it's ten yuan per kilogram, and it hasn't even removed the Chenpi! They took away over 100,000 kilograms and paid over a million yuan!
I can be responsible for what I say, but I can't say who did this. I don't want those who are jealous to hate because of envy!"
The words of Gau Songshan were drowned out by the discussion below.
Who could it be? That's a million-dollar income! Not to mention others, even Wan Hongcai and Jian Junzhan didn't expect someone to make such a big move in their territory.
On stage, Qin Chizian was also stunned: such a secretive event, only she and her partner Gao Jiajia knew about it, even the office's Zhu Degang was unaware. How could County Magistrate Gao be so clean-handed!?
Fortunately, the crowd below was buzzing with lively discussions, completely unaware that the person responsible for this significant event was the one on stage, the "spokesperson" who had just been speaking confidently into the microphone.
County Magistrate Gao banged on the table. "When I first heard this news, I couldn't believe it, and I'm sure you all feel the same way. But the reality is what it is!
During this time, I have also discussed the Baliushu phenomenon with Secretary Honghai, as well as the newly established trading company and Wild Vegetable Processing Plant in our county. If that factory were owned by someone sitting here, would you allow your relatives to slack off and receive a salary without working?"
Below, someone else takes over the conversation: "If it were my factory, even if it were my father-in-law doing this, it wouldn't work!"
At first, everyone laughed, and then they all agreed with this statement.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Li Honghai spoke up: "Next, on behalf of myself and the County Magistrate of Songshan, I would like to ask Comrade Xiao Qin for advice: The wild vegetable factory has lost over a hundred thousand yuan and has no working capital, and the agricultural trading company cannot operate either! What should we do next?"
"Inject funds, rectify the issues, and resume work to ensure quality and normal production capacity," Qin Chizian stated.
"But the county can't squeeze out any money!" Secretary Li replied.
Wu Youshun interjected, "Baliushu has been doing exceptionally well with rattan weaving during this time. Can't we provide some support to the county?"
Jian Junzhan and Wan Hongcai looked at each other: "Xiao Qin was right, the real robbery has arrived."
They both looked at Qin Chizian with concern.
But Qin Chizian's next words left the two of them dumbfounded.
