Lose, lose, lose!

Without exception, for every verdict, there is only one result on the part of the cooperatives.

Of course, the results of the trials were the same, but the punishments were both light and severe.

In this regard, Wu Lei, who is known as Jiagu's "royal reporter" or Jiagu's "dog-legged reporter", said in his special series of reports:

"For more than half of the cooperatives that defaulted, the case is over.

In fact, from the point of view of punishment, the price they paid was not heavy. After all, except for a few initiators who are in prison, most of the others are some economic losses, and because it is a collective compensation, it is not unbearable to distribute it to each household.

But, on the other hand, the price they paid was dearly – their future was uncertain.

So far, the 20 defendant cooperatives have parted ways with Jiagu after the trial, and the reporter interviewed them one by one.

If you make a summary, it is - no one ends well.

There are disintegrations: this is the most common end. As an old farmer sighed in the interview, when people's hearts are scattered, the cooperative will exist in name only;

There seems to be stability: cooperatives are easy to retain, but the momentum of cooperation cannot be retained. Naturally, the members of the cooperative are disheartened, and the assets of the cooperative have shrunk seriously...... In the reporter's view, these cooperatives are slowly sliding to the brink of disintegration after all;

There is a makeover: it is undeniable that even after the asset shrinkage, the cooperative is still a high-quality asset. Capable people or investors took advantage of the discouragement of the cooperative to contribute to the contract. But such cooperatives, although they still bear the sign of cooperatives, are no longer cooperatives of the masses.

Needless to say, the first kind of disintegration can be described as a number of defeats.

As for the latter two, the reporter is very skeptical, in the hands of a small number of people, the sense of participation and cooperation of members is not strong, and there is no real formation of a close community of interests, in the fierce competition and ever-changing tide of the market economy, how long can they survive?

If we look at the experience of cooperatives around the world, if they only engage in production, they will fail. True cooperation is only possible by comprehensive cooperation, and the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries. It is impossible to generate income in one production alone, because most of us are losing money by doing only one production.

This point, whether it is the members of the cooperative who follow the uproar or the investors who take over, probably do not understand. They only saw that the cooperatives under Jiagu had very good returns, and then they had an illusion that I could do it too.

The industry calls Jiagu the 'Jiagu System', which is very revealing - this is not just a company, but a huge system. Only when the primary, secondary and tertiary industries are integrated can we generate sufficient income, effectively feed back to the cooperatives, and truly realize the meaning of cooperation in a long-term sustainable way.

Jiagu is like a big patriarch, when you are there, you may feel finger-pointing and annoying, but when this patriarch is gone, you will suddenly find that the backbone of the main family is gone, the sky has fallen, and although there are many roads ahead, you don't know where to go.

——This is not my personal feeling, but the feedback given to the reporter by the confused members during the interview.

Ironically, when they really broke away from the Jiagu system, most of the members, including those who were in pain because of the breach of contract compensation, unconsciously began to talk about the good of Jiagu.

Pitiful, yet pathetic.

I only hope that such a pitiful and pathetic fate can really warn those who think the same way as them!

......”

As a veritable "dog leg", Wu Lei Children's Shoes is very conscientious, he knows that Jiagu is time-consuming and laborious to fight lawsuits, and even the whole country knows it, for just two words - warning!

And the media, in this process, can and should play an active role.

Rather than engaging in all kinds of gimmicks, he is more willing to let his voice speak out and show some positive meaning.

Under the voice of the "Wu Lei", this still unfinished lawsuit has indeed begun to have a far-reaching impact.

Farmers who lack a sense of law-abiding awareness see the news and begin to truly realize that they can be "willful" when they have to fulfill the basic obligations of the terms of the contract, but the consequences may be hurtful to others and themselves, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, this understanding is still very shallow, and most people may easily leave it behind at the critical moment of gaining and losing interests. However, as long as some peasants listen to it, there will be fewer blind spots in the rule of law.

Agricultural-related enterprises see the news, and they are not without harvest. Even if it is a leader like Jiagu, it is inevitable that it will suffer. One lesson is that at the beginning of the contract with the farmer, the corresponding liability for breach of contract must also be emphasized. "Villain first, then gentleman" cannot completely prevent such an unpleasant situation, but it can greatly reduce the occurrence of such a situation.

Compared with the above two, there is one subject that is also not affected by the same, which is easy to ignore - local government.

The lawsuit between Jiagu and the defaulting cooperatives has been regarded as a typical case and has been repeatedly mentioned in the local government's rural economic development training.

Cooperatives are an important way to guide farmers to the market. How to reverse the frustrated situation of "default" is an urgent issue facing governments at all levels.

It is not only the peasants who have defaulted on their contracts, but also the defaults of enterprises -- the market economy is a creditable economy, and enterprises that do not stress credibility will be eliminated from the market sooner or later; it will be very difficult for peasants who do not stress credibility to truly enter the market.

The case of Jiagu provides a reference point in all aspects.

First of all, Jiagu has done well:

The contracts signed by agriculture-related enterprises and farmers should be reviewed in a targeted manner to ensure that the contracts are legal, reasonable and actually performed. For example, the price in the contract of order agriculture should be set to a reasonable range, not too rigid, so that the peasants will not default at will because of the low price - it is also after the lawsuit broke out that people learned that the default of the Jiagu cooperative is not because the price is set too low, but because the cooperative is not greedy enough, otherwise, there will be thousands of cooperatives, and only dozens of cooperatives will jump out.

In addition, once the breach of contract, it is necessary to investigate the relevant legal responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the contract, so as to safeguard the legitimate interests of the law-abiding, and the government should guide and persuade farmers to abide by the contract, and should not "do bad things with good intentions" - this point, in the case of Jiagu, there are positive examples, there are also side examples, but fortunately, in the end, a consensus has been reached, and the rule of law fence must be tightened!

For the side that Jiagu has not done well enough, the government should also vigorously publicize the "Contract Law" and strengthen the farmers' sense of contract and reputation......

There is also an impact that Jiagu can't think of - although public opinion is inevitably controversial about Jiagu's tough attitude, it is precisely Jiagu's attitude that can carry things that makes many local governments more welcoming to Jiagu's investment. Because as a leading enterprise that connects the interests of thousands of farmers, it must not only have good benefits, but also be able to control people. Otherwise, the government will have to mediate everything big, and there will be no need to do business.

Of course, these changes that may have far-reaching effects are not known to Qi Zheng, who is still in the southern province of Gui, for the time being.

However, when more than one representative of the National People's Congress submitted the "Proposal for the Revision of the Law on Professional Farmer Cooperatives" because of this sensational lawsuit, Qi Zheng knew that the more far-reaching impact was coming!
