Chapter 737: You Are Weak in the World (1/2)
The eyes of the reporters who interviewed Qi Zheng flashed with excitement.
Over the years, Jiagu has interacted more with the media, but Qi Zheng has rarely appeared in the media as always. And at this time when Jiagu's behavior is extremely controversial, the controller of Jiagu was interviewed jointly, and the qualified media were all happy to think about it.
In the living room of Jiagu's headquarters, a short-haired male reporter who looked to be about 30 years old first asked: "Qi Dong, as we all know, the cause of the incident is that a group of Jiagu cooperatives are dissatisfied with Jiagu's purchase price and have no right to speak, and tend to sell their products to companies with higher bids, so they choose to break away from Jiagu, and then Jiagu resorts to law...... Don't you think it's too unfair to those farmers who are being sued by Jiagu?"
Well?
The first question is very rushing!
Although friendly or neutral media were invited, Qi Zheng knew that this interview was a battle.
Because of the group of reporters, there is a bit of a "hoe to help the weak" complex, after all, "hoe the strong to help the weak" is always a story that the audience likes to see.
Qi Zheng must first "defeat" these reporters in order to win the heartfelt understanding and recognition of these people who have a certain right to speak.
Qi Zheng stretched out his right index finger and shook it lightly, saying, "First of all, I have to emphasize that your statement has been misunderstood or misunderstood. If you really look at the contract between Jiagu and the cooperative, you will see that we have actually taken into account the elasticity of price in the contract, rather than limiting the price of the order to a single number. In fact, every year before setting a specific price, Jiagu will invite representatives of the cooperative to analyze the overall development information of the market, and then set the corresponding price according to their respective products, and strive to delineate the price within a range, so that Jiagu and farmers can share benefits and risks. ”
Some reporters were stunned, and some did not change their faces.
In the end, Kagu has not explained this, but few media will report it, because it does not meet the need to make things bigger.
The male reporter was obviously misled, but he quickly reacted and asked: "But you can't deny that Jiagu is still in an absolutely strong position. ”
Qi Zheng shook his head: "Let's go back to the question of unfairness. You should know that there are not one or two cooperatives in the Jiagu system, nor one or two hundred, but one or two thousand. Just because a small number of cooperatives are in trouble, Jiagu agrees to give them a higher price, is it fair for other cooperatives? If all cooperatives do the same, Jiagu wouldn't have to do it. ”
"But Jiagu can choose to terminate the cooperation with them, can they all be okay?"
Qi Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, it's okay for everyone to be well, but the question is, are we Jiagu okay? Let me give you an example, most of Jiagu's investment in cooperatives is sunk cost from an economic point of view. For example, the extensive management of cultivated land fertility in all parts of the country by fertilizing to increase yields has led to a decline in soil fertility. The cooperatives that joined the Jiagu system are all under our guidance to implement soil testing and formula fertilization, what is lacking in the land to make up, over the past few years, the soil is soft and not compact, and the crops are stable and lush. Now, after years of improvement, we have gotten a piece of fertile and high-quality arable land to the cooperative, and then they say, okay, we don't need you Jiagu, let's break up...... Do you think it's fair to us in Jiagu?"
The male reporter was speechless.
Another female reporter with glasses immediately asked: "In fact, we can see that in cooperation with farmers, there are more cases of corporate defaults. If the farmer defaults, Jiagu can file a lawsuit with great fanfare, but if the enterprise defaults, the farmer has nowhere to appeal. Didn't Jiagu's tough response this time boost the momentum of the strong side?"
Again, a rather acute question.
Qi Zheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't deny that companies in a strong position often default, but what I can tell you is that I oppose all unwarranted defaults." However, this should not be confused with the situation faced by Kaya. Farmers are vulnerable, and they can be protected by formulating relevant regulations, such as credit reporting for enterprises, but they cannot be biased in favor of ...... without reason."
Qi Zheng is a little confident in saying this.
This time and space is a little different from the original time and space, at least in domestic contract farming, the situation of corporate defaults has been greatly reduced.
Because of the credit system for agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises jointly built by Jiagu and the government.
If the company does not fulfill the contract, Jiagu will add it to the blacklist of cooperation. This blacklist is not only available to the Jiagu system, but is even open to peers. With Jiagu's tentacles today, there are very few peers with a little scale, who dare to say that they will not cooperate with Jiagu in the future, which also greatly increases the deterrent effect of Jiagu's agricultural and animal husbandry enterprise credit system.
Although Jiagu's credit system is certainly not sound enough, at least, compared with the original time and space, the default cost of enterprises has been increased a lot in disguise, and it is not enough to say that "trustworthy loses, dishonest gains", let bad money drive out good money, which can be regarded as another positive impact of Jiagu on the industry.
Of course, some people will ask: Isn't it also possible for peasants to be included in the credit reporting system to raise the cost of defaulting? The problem is that many peasants are older and do not need to go to the bank for loans, nor do they seldom go out to work, and they do not care at all about the restrictions on loans and non-cooperation after problems with credit reporting.
Without waiting for the female reporter to ask another question, Qi Zheng squinted his eyes and said: "If you can, who doesn't want to take it easy? The money, time, and energy we need to spend on this tough lawsuit are unimaginable to ordinary people, and this is not counting the reputational damage brought to Jiagu." But even if we win the lawsuit, what will we gain? The parties will bear legal responsibility, but the financial compensation will not be much. Why do we want to go our own way?"
The reporter asked cooperatively, "Why?"
"It's because I want to tell everyone a truth - things in the world are not justified by whoever is weak. Qi Zheng said slowly: "I see a lot of media, and they automatically stand on a position of 'helping the weak'. I won't say it shouldn't be, but if the law and human feelings are open to the 'weak' who break the rules, what can those who follow the rules do to protect themselves?"
After Qi Zheng finished speaking, the surrounding reporters fell into thought at the same time.
In the inherent concept of many people, it is estimated that "the weak are reasonable".
Qi Zheng has always felt that there is no point in refuting this view, and elimination is the right way!
Under the condition that there are laws to follow and strict enforcement, there is no point in selling miserably to show weakness, and without room for survival and improper interests, they will naturally disappear without refuting them.
Qi Zheng's expression was indifferent, and he said, "However, Jiagu is not without fault at all. It is our fault that we failed to make the members of the cooperative aware of the consequences of breach of contract and cultivate a sense of credit contract, so that we have reached the point where we are today. However, this is also a step to make amends. I very much agree with Mr. Hu Shih's remark: A dirty country, if everyone talks about rules instead of morality, will eventually become a normal country with human feelings, and morality will naturally gradually return. And a clean country, if everyone talks about morality without rules, will eventually degenerate into a filthy country full of hypocrites. ”
After a moment of silence, the young reporter to the right of Qi Zheng asked respectfully: "Dong Qi, will Jiagu continue to implement the cooperative model?"
Qi Zheng looked up into the distance for a few seconds, and replied affirmatively: "Yes!"
