Chapter 74 Amulet

The village committee of Kanamachi Village.

After the village chief Wang Jianxin and the village party secretary Fang Yong drove back together, they called together other members of the village committee and held a small meeting overnight.

Fang Yong distributed cigarettes to the people present, then looked at Wang Jianxin: "Old Wang, what are you going to do?"

"What should we do? Just do it!" Wang Jianxin lit a cigarette and took a slow puff: "Huh... Luo Zhen's meaning is very clear, and you don't want to interfere with this assistance plan, do you?"

“You can also take care of yourself first…”

"Okay! Ayong, does anyone in your family raise fish? Why don't you ask them to raise Egyptian fish instead?"

"That's not what I meant." Fang Yong whispered, "The town government should provide subsidies for this, right? We can..."

Wang Jianxin took another puff of his cigarette and said, "Huh... forget it. The town government does intend to provide subsidies, but not directly. Instead, they intend to hire excavators to help poor households dig ponds for free."

"Then you can also register it and import Egyptian fish from other places..."

"Ayong, don't go too far. Do you think you can keep this a secret? If those people start making trouble, it will be hard for everyone and Luo Zhen will have a hard time explaining it. If you really want a quota, you might as well go directly to Hailufeng Company. Anyway, as long as there is a fish pond, you can sign a contract."

"But the fish ponds in my home have been requisitioned."

"What do you want?"

"Anyway, a village has a quota of 70 mu, so we should be able to squeeze out some if we squeeze together." There was a hint of greed in Fang Yong's eyes.

Wang Jianxin stared at the other person with a half-smile in his eyes: "Haha, if you can't deliver the fish to Hailufeng Company at that time, what do you want to do? The penalty for breach of contract is 9 per acre. How many acres do you want? Or I'll give you all of them?"

“Fish are everywhere in Egypt…”

"You can think of it, but others can't? At that time, someone will definitely think of purchasing Egyptian fish at a low price. If you all purchase them from outside, do you want to consider the transportation cost? In other words, you can only buy them locally in Shanmei. Apart from the contracted farmers of Hailufeng Company, who else in the local area cultivates Egyptian fish on a large scale? If you all go to buy them, others will be fools and will not sell them to you at a low price? Once the cost goes up, can you really make money?"

Wang Jianxin looked at Fang Yong as if he was a fool.

After hearing these words, Fang Yong was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly took a puff of cigarette and calmed down: "Huh..."

After a while, Fang Yong recovered. Then he realized that Wang Jianxin was saving him, and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Lao Wang."

Wang Jianxin thought: "If it weren't for the fact that you are such a fool that is easy to control and use as a gun, I wouldn't bother to remind you."

But he still smiled on the surface: "It's good to know. If you can get this done, these people will also be grateful to you and me. It can be regarded as canvassing for votes for the next term. If someone wants to find you, just let them go to Hailufeng Company to sign a contract."

"I understand." After Fang Yong put aside all his little thoughts, he naturally became selfless.

In fact, Jiang Miao had already taken the low-price outsourcing situation into consideration. The quantitative purchase contract was designed to prevent such a situation. At the same time, the high penalty for breach of contract was also one of the means to curb it.

The reason why the quantitative purchase contract can suppress the behavior of earning the difference by purchasing large quantities at low prices.

The problem is that Hailufeng Company will issue an announcement listing the breeding scale of the contracted farmers and at the same time lock the total amount to be purchased.

As a result, farmers who have not signed a contract will naturally not easily raise Egyptian catfish. As Egyptian fish are notorious in the Lingnan region, the scale of Egyptian catfish farming in various places is very limited, especially in Shanmei. Apart from wild Egyptian catfish, there are really not many farmers who will breed them.

If these contracted breeders want to make money from the middlemen, they must purchase large quantities of Egyptian catfish, and they must purchase them at low prices.

However, the scale of local non-contractual breeding is limited. Once a large amount is purchased, the market price will inevitably rise rapidly, and the local Egyptian catfish will be quickly bought out.

The purchase price has increased, plus the transportation costs, the profit is not much.

As for purchasing from other places, it is even more impossible. On the one hand, the scale of Egyptian catfish farming in other parts of Lingnan is also very small, and on the other hand, the transportation cost will soar. What's more, Jiang Miao also prepared another trick, which is to suddenly issue a temporary license. As long as you hold a temporary license, you can sell Egyptian catfish to Hailufeng Company according to the quota of the temporary license.

Just as Wang Jianxin said, don't think that others are fools.

As long as Hailufeng Company issues a temporary license, those Egyptian catfish that are not within the scope of the contract will soon be swallowed up by Hailufeng Company.

The original purchase price of 3 yuan per kilogram was set based on the low local transportation costs. If it were transported from other places, the cost would be enough to make the deal worthless.

The freight rate for ordinary trucks is about 1 yuan per ton per kilometer.

However, Hailufeng Company requires that Egyptian catfish must be purchased alive, which means that ordinary large trucks cannot be used and only specialized trucks for transporting aquatic products can be used, with the quoted price being approximately RMB 3 per ton per kilometer.

Assuming that the goods are transported from the nearest Huangbu Town in Echeng to Magong Town, the entire journey is more than 300 kilometers, and the freight per ton plus the starting price is about yuan.

The purchase price of Egyptian catfish in other places is 2 to 3 yuan per kilogram.

In other words, there is basically no profit even if the Egyptian catfish, which is more than 200 kilometers away, is transported to Magong Town.

All of this had already been calculated when Jiang Miao asked the company to conduct professional calculations.

As long as someone is greedy and deliberately signs a large number of contracts in order to buy low and sell high, the company will regularly issue temporary licenses to eat up the Egyptian catfish in the surrounding areas, making it impossible for these people to buy Egyptian catfish at close range, thus resulting in a breach of contract.

Those truly poor households certainly would not be able to play the trick of buying low and selling high. Even if they did, they would only purchase in small quantities within a few villages.

Only the big players can afford to do this.

Jiang Miao felt no psychological pressure in cheating these people out of their money.

Anyway, if you gamble, you have to admit defeat.

I guess after being fooled once or twice, these people will no longer think of targeting Egyptian catfish.

In fact, if those big farmers really invest in the breeding of Egyptian catfish, they can also make money from Hailufeng Company.

What Jiang Miao hates are those greedy guys who want to take advantage of Hailufeng Company's assistance plan to take advantage of the situation.

It’s not that Jiang Miao has an overflowing sense of justice, but that the assistance plan can bind a large number of poor households, thereby increasing Hailufeng Company’s voice and influence in the local area.

Sometimes, when a company grows to a certain size, it needs to create a talisman for itself so that it can remain invincible.

This is one of the amulets.

Look at Kangaroo Takeaway, which is madly exploiting its riders, but why is there nothing wrong with it? It’s because Kangaroo Takeaway has a huge number of takeaway riders in its hands, and they can’t move easily.

Many companies with large employee numbers are often concerned with stability.

The assistance plan is the second amulet that Jiang Miao prepared for Hailufeng Company.

As for the first amulet, it was naturally his special medical skills.

Anyone who dares to disrupt his plan will be his target.

Therefore, those who want to take advantage of the loopholes are not only stealing resources that should have been given to poor households, but also destroying Jiang Miao's plan. Jiang Miao will naturally find ways to deal with these people.
