Chapter 739: Jiagu Is a Good Company (4.5k words)
With Jiagu's voice, public opinion has become even more disturbed.
And when everyone thought that Qi Zheng was sitting at the headquarters watching the situation, he was already in Yunnan Province.
It is the strategic cooperation agreement on poverty alleviation between Jiagu and Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces.
In fact, when the dispute between Jiagu and its cooperatives became bigger, the most nervous people were not the two parties, but the three provinces that had just signed a poverty alleviation cooperation with Jiagu.
From the provincial leaders to the grassroots cadres below, they are all staring at Jiagu. Everyone is counting on the smooth landing of the Jiagu cooperatives and breaking out a way with the people from the backward areas of the three provinces. If Jiagu is disheartened by this, they are afraid that they will not spit fragrant fragrance.
In fact, after the incident became a big problem, in addition to the leaders of the place where the sued cooperative was located, the leaders of the three provinces were the first to call Qi Zheng to express their support.
As soon as Qi Zheng arrived in the poverty-stricken area of Wumeng Mountain, the director of the Yunnan Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office followed.
"Senior Officer Cheng originally wanted to come, but the time was a bit unlucky. As if explaining, Director Guan opened the topic and said: "However, Senior Officer Cheng said that when the Wumeng Mountain Jiagu Cooperative is officially established, he will definitely come to cheer." β
Qi Zheng nodded with a smile. In fact, everyone knows that the number one leader in the province will not appear on this occasion today.
It's not that Qi Zheng doesn't have such a big face, but Qi Zheng's trip is just an inspection, and his personal wishes are still low-key.
So what is the occasion today?
It is an occasion to mobilize the people in the Wumeng Mountain area to join the cooperative and finalize the planting project.
The Wumeng Mountain area, which spans three provinces, is one of the main battlefields of the country's new round of poverty alleviation and development. It has the characteristics common to poor areas, with poor resources and inconvenient transportation......
In other words, Jiagu is the most suitable enterprise unit to assist in poverty alleviation and development? In backward areas like this, there are almost no advantageous resources except land. In other words, there is little other way to go than to develop agriculture.
Of course, it is not easy to develop agriculture in such a barren area.
However, this is rare for ordinary people, and it is difficult for Jiagu. After inspecting the local soil, climate, hydrology and other conditions, Jiagu Agricultural Company opened its own technology library, just like a robot cat took out a treasure, and came up with a product suitable for local development - out-of-season potatoes, that is, winter potatoes.
Winter potatoes are planted in November and February, and are listed in March and April of the next year, with shallow buds, uniform size, starch enough, good taste, very suitable for fresh eating, and are the first new potatoes to be listed in the country, which is a good thing.
There are a lot of out-of-season vegetables planted, but out-of-season potatoes are really rare, and of course, local farmers don't know the goods at first. Even if the Jiagu technicians tried their best to persuade them, the farmers just didn't cooperate and were unwilling to plant winter potatoes. What winter potatoes? I haven't heard of, I don't know, I don't know how to grow them. Of course, you big companies do, we peasants can't read a single word, and we don't understand any technology, so we can't compare with you city people......
It wasn't until a local retired veteran cadre with considerable prestige heard about it that he led a group of fellow villagers to plant winter potatoes under the guidance of Jiagu, and Jiagu purchased and underwrote them. In three or four months, more than 7,000 yuan per mu of land was earned, which was a sensation in the local area.
After the heart is moved, it is action. The enthusiasm of the local people to plant winter potatoes was born, and the Jiagu cooperative found the foundation for landing.
It can be said that in the first ten years, Jiagu has been focusing on doing such things all over the country:
Rural areas are much the same, and peasants can hardly afford any risks because they have little or no money. To combat this vulnerability, farmers have to adopt a number of "conservative" strategies. The most important manifestation is to try to farm according to the old rules, and not to try new crops or new technologies easily. Even if they know that the new crop will yield more and be more profitable, the best strategy is not to try it lightly.
In the face of the local farmers' non-cooperation and inactivity, Jiagu did not walk away, but actively went deep into the rural grassroots, took matters into his own hands, and presented the superiority of new products and technologies to the farmers with real facts. At the same time, it provides a full set of services and support in technical training, product sales and other aspects...... In a word, Jiagu is not standing on a high place and directing the peasants to do it, but to roll up his sleeves and work with the peasants, in the face of real income growth, the peasants will no longer adhere to the "conservative" strategy, but turn to accept new products and new technologies.
ββThis is how the Jiagu cooperatives have blossomed everywhere.
However, this is a process of emphasizing production and ignoring "education," and the legal education of the Jiagu cooperatives has not kept up with it -- it is not that the Jiagu people have completely ignored it, but they have unconsciously put the legal education last, until the outbreak of the cooperative's "withdrawal from the group" incident.
As Qi Zheng said in the interview, this cannot be said that Jiagu is not wrong. If those members of the cooperative had a little more knowledge of the law and a little sense of contract, this case could have been avoided. Jiagu needs to reflect and make amends.
The newly-born Wumeng Mountain Cooperative is a pilot project.
Qi Zheng and Director Guan looked at the mobilization meeting venue from a distance, which was crowded with people, layer upon layer, and I was afraid that there were hundreds of people. An old man with a white beard sat on crutches.
"That is Mr. Yang, who has been on the battlefield, was the local leader in the commune era, even after retirement, he has a high prestige here, and he was the first to agree with Jiagu to engage in poverty alleviation and industrial ......development," Director Guan whispered.
Qi Zheng looked at the old man curiously.
The old man is really not young, but with Qi Zheng's vision of more than 2.0, his eyes are shining, as if he has returned to the past eventful years: "...... Next, let the employees of Jiagu tell you about the terms of the contract for joining the cooperative, and give you Pupufa, and give me ears pricked up one by one!"
"Oh......" There was a wail below.
Popularizing the law or something, for ordinary people, it's just boring.
Jiagu's legal department is not a vegetarian, and in order to protect the interests of the company and the rights of farmers, the contract terms are outrageously detailed.
It's a bit like downloading and registering an APP, there is always a long and smelly user agreement, for users, to install a software and go through a lengthy agreement, read every clause sentence by sentence, it's a headache to think about.
Of course, you can choose to default to the registered APP, and you can easily "agree" to all the terms. The Jiagu cooperative now has to be informed by the members, and it is not possible to take the "default check" if you want to.
Old Man Yang raised his crutches, as if he was giving a speech, and said with full of energy: "What to do, what to do, cheer up." To know what it means to govern the country according to law means to understand the law. I don't expect you to govern the country, but if you want to join a cooperative, what can and cannot be done, and how can you do it if you don't know the rules? How can it be so easy to live a good life, isn't it just to be popularized by the people, my old man can accept it, why can't you do it? Tell me, have you done it?"
The audience is uneven.
Old Man Yang was very dissatisfied, and said with a glare: "Look at your cowardice, you dare to plant potatoes out of season, but you look cowardly when you listen to the class." That's good, I'll tell the people of Jiagu, whoever learns well first, will teach whoever grows winter potatoes first......"
"Learn, we all learn. "It's much more neat now.
"That's right. The old man was satisfied, waved his hand domineeringly, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, especially those who want to be cadres of cooperatives, if they can't do it, everyone will spit on him." β
Thinking of Jiagu's thick contract book, the eyes of the candidate cadres of the cooperative were green, and their faces were bitter.
There was a burst of laughter around.
Amid the laughter, a young Jiagu employee walked up to the stage and said with a smile in a local accent: "Don't be afraid, and you don't have to recite any terms. Our purpose is to let everyone know what to abide by and what guarantees they have to abide by after joining the cooperative...... Let me give you an example, there is a cooperative in Jiangnan Province, and the president only wants the members to be obedient, and hides the content of the laws and regulations such as the participation of members in the management of the cooperative, or does not mention it at all. The members didn't know it, but they were provoked by the president and started a lawsuit with us......"
Of course, the people of Jiagu would not take a thick stack of contract terms and read the book, and if they were read according to the book, it is estimated that 101 of the 100 people on the scene were dozing.
He adopted the form of using cases to explain the law and facts to illustrate the law, so that the peasants could receive education in the legal system in a subtle way.
Under the onlookers of Qi Zheng and Director Guan, many farmers who were originally careless slowly listened to the ups and downs of the "storytelling" of Jiagu employees.
Director Guan exclaimed in a low voice: "It would be nice if our activities of sending the law to the countryside also had this effect." β
Qi Zheng smiled but said nothing.
Just kidding, in many places, the activities of sending the law to the countryside are nothing more than distributing a few materials for popularizing the law, making a few display boards, and then patting the ass and leaving, mainly taking the form and engaging in "building momentum", and the effect can be imagined.
In the interview, he said that "introspection" is not just talk. In the future, the Jiagu cooperatives will provide guarantees for law popularization funds to realize the normalization of "legal education", and in view of the uneven cultural quality of farmers, they will often adopt a vivid and interesting form of "edutainment".
Facts have proven that as long as resources are willing to be invested, "popularization of law" can also become popular.
Of course, it will take a long time to change their spiritual world. But there is some progress, and it is much better than no progress at all.
Qi Zheng and his entourage had just come closer, and soon stopped again.
But after Mr. Yang gave up the stage, he was being interviewed by a reporter at the side of the venue.
After some distance, I heard the reporter with his back to them clearly asking: "Uncle, do you know that Jiagu is now fighting a lawsuit with some cooperatives?"
"I know. β
"Did the Kagu employee tell you?"
"I don't need them to tell me, I can see it in the news. Besides, don't look at me old, I can also surf the Internet. Old Man Yang snorted.
"Yo, you're always quite fashionable. Then you should also know that if the cooperative loses the case, those farmers may be fined and may even go to jail, do you always think they deserve sympathy?"
Old Man Yang shook his head and said, "Sympathy? If that's my junior, I'm not afraid to say it, I can't wait to break their dog's legs. β
The old man's temper was very hot, and the reporter said even more excitedly: "Why do you say that?"
"You young people, I don't know how cooperatives work. In rural affairs, it is not possible to outsource land rent, nor to leave the peasants aside, nor to simply export single products; only by making an overall plan to integrate all the resources and various development factors in the rural areas and make them form a relatively sound endogenous power system is the fundamental way out for agriculture! In the past, it was a commune, but because of various defects, it was scattered, but now it is a cooperative. The old man's voice sounded very loud, with a sense of excitement unique to the times.
"What is the cooperation of cooperatives? People generally say that it is the cooperation between money and people. But it's all very superficial. More importantly, credit cooperation is to achieve better trust between people through cooperation between people. β
The old man paused, and his voice became even higher:
"But those eight lambs, in order to make a little more money, completely broke the credit cooperation of the cooperative. If there is no credit cooperative, is it still called a cooperative? Even if they succeed for a while and lose their integrity, some of them will sit in the rotten vegetable field and cry. β
"Kaya is a good company. You know, the poorer the place, the less money there is, and the more money there is, the less people want to invest it. In order to get rid of poverty, they can endure more hardships and pay more costs, but they have no money or technology before, and the difficulties along the way are unimaginable to people in those areas with better conditions. Instead of bringing money and technology, Kagu brought the dawn of a break out of poverty. β
"I don't know if there is any other company like Jiagu, but as far as I know, only Jiagu is willing to invest money in poor places to renovate. For those cooperatives that are in lawsuits, I'm not saying that they can't leave Jiagu for the rest of their lives, but at least they shouldn't leave Jiagu until they get back the money they invested. Because it will not only make Jiagu lose money, but it may also make another place unable to see the light of day. β
The old man's voice gradually became a little trembling, but the tone was the same passionate.
"Actually, you should find out the companies that are competing with Jiagu cooperatives rather than the farmers who are in default. Without upfront investment, I can pick peaches with peace of mind, and it is estimated that it is not a good company......"
"Okay, thank you, uncle, for accepting our interview. Your instructions, we have also received ......"
Qi Zheng and his entourage stayed on the periphery and listened with their ears pricked up.
Hearing the end, Qi Zheng smiled and said, "The old man speaks one by one, which is quite cute." β
used "cute" to describe an old man, and almost choked the director.
But at least it proves that Qi Zheng is in a good mood.
Director Guan immediately coughed lightly and said, "Our province is also willing to help with the popularization of law education of Jiagu Cooperative. You see, we will coordinate with grassroots cadres to help villagers establish a correct sense of contract like the old man, and will not let everyone mess around. β
As for the provocateurs behind it, cadres like Director Guan don't know more than Old Man Yang.
But there is one thing that the provincial party committee knows.
Jiagu is different from the government department, Jiagu is to make money.
A company that doesn't make money, no matter if you are a mountain of gold and silver, it won't last long. The government can invest money in poverty alleviation, but the formation of healthy industrial poverty alleviation is inseparable from enterprises after all. To be precise, it is inseparable from companies that can make money.
And if Jiagu wants to make money, there must be a group of "obedient" cooperatives.
Only when the cooperatives are obedient can Jiagu give full play to the advantages of large-scale organization, and only by giving full play to the advantages of large-scale organization can Jiagu allow farmers to make money, and Jiagu can slowly recover the sunken cost by extending the industrial chain. When all this forms a virtuous circle, the significance of industrial poverty alleviation can be reflected.
The most feared thing is that Jiagu was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope - even if Jiagu is still willing to cooperate, if the conditions are more harsh, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Qi Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not worried, our fellow farmers are also making progress." Moreover, I have always believed that as long as our Jiagu is stable, it will not be Jiagu who panics. β
What's the panic, even if the situation is not clear, in the long run, in the end, it will be a yang scheme, that is, a hard power crushing strategy, and trying to crush the clever.
The Jiagu people, including him, may not be resourceful enough, but when it comes to hard power, the Jiagu people are all leveraged.
