Chapter 579 The right to speak
"Secretary Lei, Mayor Zheng, I hope you can reconsider this."
Jiang Beihai looked at the two leaders opposite him with a calm expression and spoke in a firm and confident tone.
"I believe that you will not be able to find a partner as powerful as our group, whether in the short term or the long term!"
Jiang Beihai's words revealed his pride and honor for his group.
With abundant capital, advanced technology and extensive market channels, they are indeed a force that cannot be ignored.
Secretary Lei smiled calmly and responded, "Your company is indeed strong and has a broad market. Unfortunately, many of your requests are too much."
As soon as Secretary Lei's words came out, the whole meeting hall suddenly became cold and the atmosphere became tense.
This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing the pride and complacency in Jiang Beihai's heart. He originally thought that he could easily convince the other party with the strength of the group, but he did not expect to encounter such a firm rejection.
Mayor Zheng continued, "If we follow your company's requirements, then we are just the production base of your group's raw materials!"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment in his voice, and he seemed to express strong opposition to the conditions proposed by the group represented by Jiang Beihai.
This view made Jiang Beihai fall into deep thought. He realized that the other party was not simply refusing to cooperate, but had deeper considerations.
"The low purchase price is of no help at all to the villagers in these vast mountains!"
Mayor Zheng's words were full of care for local farmers.
He knew very well that these villagers worked hard all year, but in the end they could only sell their agricultural products to large enterprises at extremely low prices. Most of the profits were earned by these enterprises, leaving them with only a meager income.
This unfair trading model has prevented the villagers from achieving substantial improvement in their lives and has made it impossible to achieve sustainable development.
"After working hard for a year, all you get is a very low price. Most of the profits are taken away by companies like you..."
Mayor Zheng's words deeply touched everyone present, especially those representatives from rural areas, who knew that farmers often did not get the rewards they deserved despite their hard work.
Secretary Lei held the documents in his hand and sighed deeply. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a trace of helplessness and worry appeared on his face.
"Alas..." Secretary Lei sighed heavily, his voice revealing deep disappointment and regret.
As soon as the leaders spoke, everyone could guess the content of the document without even thinking. They all lowered their heads in deep thought, feeling heavy-hearted.
"It seems that this cooperation is not going smoothly..." someone whispered.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to encounter so many problems." Another person echoed.
It is obvious that for a large capital enterprise like Honggu Agricultural Products Group, it is in their best interest to be able to obtain the best raw materials at the lowest price from a production area of agricultural raw materials!
This is also a common practice in the business world. However, for the villagers in the Qinling Mountains, they are more concerned about how to get their agricultural products to the market and how to increase their income.
They hope to have their own brand to increase the popularity of their products and add value to them.
What the leaders expect is that the cooperating enterprises can have a professional marketing team that can help them build their brand image and increase the added value of their products.
Only in this way can a win-win situation be truly achieved. However, the reality makes them feel helpless and lost.
"We need to rethink our strategy." Secretary Lei said seriously.
Everyone nodded silently in agreement. This issue really needed to be taken seriously and could not continue.
Obviously, although the income may increase slightly by cooperating with Honggu Agricultural Products Group, it is still far from enough to truly achieve the goal of poverty alleviation and prosperity! Because most of the profits will be taken away by them, leaving only a meager income for the farmers.
"Secretary Lei, this is actually an inevitable trend of marketization today!" Jiang Beihai looked at Secretary Lei and said with a somewhat arrogant smile. He seemed to be full of confidence in the interest group he represented, believing that this was an irreversible fact.
“Whoever controls the market controls the voice.” These words deeply hurt the hearts of everyone present, making people realize the cruelty and helplessness of reality.
After hearing Jiang Beihai's arrogant words, the crowd in the audience began to stir, expressing their dissatisfaction and anger:
"No, why is this guy so arrogant?" someone muttered in a low voice.
"The consortium is so great!" another person echoed, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"What the hell! What is that!" More people joined the protest and the voices grew louder and louder.
"That's it..." Everyone became more and more agitated and felt extremely indignant about this unfair situation.
"..."
Many of the people in the audience are locals. Many of them have struggled their way out of these vast mountains and can best understand the difficulties faced by the grassroots people!
They know that in the depths of the mountains, transportation is inconvenient and information is poor, and it is not easy to change the status quo. And how many people living in the city can truly understand their hardships?
The goods produced by the villagers in these mountains after working hard all year round have been bought up by others, so they can only sell these best quality products at the cheapest price!
Their hard work and dedication did not receive the due rewards, but instead the middlemen made the profit from the price difference, which made them feel extremely helpless and angry.
Their lives are so difficult!
Working from dawn to dusk every day, they still can’t make ends meet; children are eager to study, but their family conditions cannot support them to realize their dreams; the elderly are in poor health, but there are not enough medical resources to protect their health...
These problems have been plaguing them, making their lives full of stress and anxiety.
After hearing what Jiang Beihai said, Secretary Lei shook his head.
His tone revealed a firmness and confidence, and he smiled and said, "General Manager Jiang may not understand us. From ancient times to the present... we all like to have our own say."
