Chapter 93: Scramble for Peaches
Lei Xiaobo stood by the truck, maintaining order among the villagers selling peaches. He instructed the villagers to line up and weigh them one by one. Zhang Xiaomin was weighing peaches for the villagers, and Sun Xiaoying was sitting at a small table next to the scales, remembering the names of the villagers who sold peaches and the weight of peaches.
They were proceeding in such an orderly manner, an Audi Q5 SUV drove up from the road and stopped on the side of the road closest to the scales. Four people, two men and two women, walked out from under the car and walked towards the crowd on the scale.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing here? Who asked you to buy peaches?" Walking in the front, it was Xie Hongfei, the former head of Ao Village, who shouted in a hurry.
Behind him was a middle-aged man with a big back whose hair was combed to the roots. He wore two large plate rings on his hands and a braid-thick gold necklace around his neck. He was followed by two women, one was Wei Fangfang, the former secretary of the Youth League branch of Ao Village, and the other was a strange girl who was young and demonic.
Sun Xiaoying, Zhang Xiaomin and others heard the shouting, looked up, and were all stunned. Jiao Weijuan, who was monitoring the acquisition scene by the scale, was the first to greet him and asked with a calm face: "Who are you?"
Xie Hongfei looked at her hostilely, and asked disdainfully, "Who are you?" Jiao Weijuan glanced back at Lei Xiaobo, who was maintaining order behind the crowd, and said, "I'm here to buy peaches." ”
Xie Hongfei raised his voice and asked, "Do you have a purchase contract?" Jiao Weijuan said without showing weakness: "Without a contract, how can I buy peaches?" Xie Hongfei said aggressively: "You take it out and take a look." ”
Jiao Weijuan knew that he was the village chief that Lei Xiaobo told him, glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth, sneered, and said, "Why should I show it to you?"
Xie Hongfei straightened his chest and said angrily: "I am the head of Qianao Village. This is the peach of our village, and I have the right to be the master. Moreover, I also have a contract stamped with the official seal of the village committee. So, we are legal, and you are buying peaches here, it is illegal. Please stop the acquisition immediately. As he spoke, he pointed to the crowd around the scales and said, "Stop, stop, don't sell peaches to illegal traders." When they are sold to him, he is a legitimate peach buyer. ”
"Why do you say I'm illegal?" Jiao Weijuan scolded Xie Hongfei, immediately took out a contract from his bag, and showed it to the villagers, "Isn't this a contract? My contract has the signature of Secretary Guo and the signature of Assistant Lei." ”
Xie Hongfei snorted coldly and said, "Just signing is useless, and it will not take effect." It has to be stamped to take effect, as a businessman, don't you understand this?" he said as he turned to the peach merchant dressed as a local tyrant and said, "Mr. Zhao, you take out the contract." ”
Mr. Zhao, the big back head, opened the famous French imported bag in his hand with a "bang", took out a contract from it, and handed it to Xie Hongfei. Xie Hongfei took the contract and showed it to the villagers: "Look, this is the effective contract with the official seal of the village." The share in her hand is fake and invalid. Don't let them behold, and don't sell peaches to them again. Otherwise, the village cannot guarantee your legitimate benefits. ”
At this time, Lei Xiaobo, who was standing behind the crowd and watching, walked up, looked at Xie Hongfei mockingly, and said, "Village Chief Xie said it very well, ah." However, you said that the contract must be stamped with the official seal of the village in order to ensure the legitimate income of the villagers. So, I want to ask you, how much do you sell for a pound in this contract?"
Xie Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao thought he would answer, so he said: "The contract is one yuan, one dime, and one catty." Lei Xiaobo raised his head to face the peach selling villagers who came around, pointed at Jiao Weijuan and said, "Her contract is one yuan and one catty." Villagers, tell me whether your peaches are sold to the ones that are more expensive or to the ones that are cheaper?"
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in a shout: "Of course it's sold to the high! Which fool sells to the low?"
A middle-aged peach farmer with a purple face shouted at the top of his voice: "How much less is the difference of two dimes and one catty? Our family's 10,000 catties of peaches is two thousand yuan less." How much money do we earn after a year of hard work!"
"Yes, we sell it to the One Yuan Triangle, whether it is stamped or not?" Many peach farmers shouted one after another, "Whoever pays the highest price, we will sell it to whom?"
"This peach is ours, not the village, and we have the right to be the master. ”
Someone even said unceremoniously in front of Xie Hongfei: "The official seal in your hand, regardless of our income, is stamped outside, why should we listen to you?"
Lei Xiaobo looked at this scene and said how happy he was. "Village Chief Xie, do you hear me? This is the voice of the villagers. The official seal in your hand, if you don't think about them, it's useless!"
Xie Hongfei was annoyed and ashamed, and his face turned purple. He turned his face to look at Mr. Zhao, turned his head and glared at Lei Xiaobo, the green tendons on his neck were blooming, and he said loudly: "Lei Xiaobo, you are an outsider, don't be lively in our village and sow discord." ”
Lei Xiaobo was about to fight back, but Xie Hongfei said to the villagers: "Isn't there a difference of two dimes and one catty? We can also raise it to one yuan and three cents and one catty." Villagers, he's just a gold-plated outsider who came to the village, and sooner or later he's going to get out, so don't listen to him. I am the village chief you have elected, and you will listen to me. ”
As soon as he agitated like this, the villagers all looked at each other and remained silent. Lei Xiaobo's face was calm, and he still said unhurriedly: "Very good, Village Chief Xie, you add one yuan and one catty, the same as hers." But I want to tell you, she also wants to give me a kickback of two dimes and a pound, and I have already told Secretary Guo, and this money will be handed over to the village account. Do you have it? You can also hand over the two dimes rebate to the village, and I'll give you this business, okay?"
Xie Hongfei was stunned. The villagers began to talk about it. Someone was surprised and said, "Ah, there are still kickbacks?" Someone whispered: "Lei Xiaobo has it, Xie Hongfei must have it too." Someone said suspiciously: "How many kickbacks did he earn in those past few years?
Xie Hongfei was anxious, glanced at Mr. Zhao again, and signaled him to keep it a secret for him, before turning back to the villagers and saying, "I didn't have the kickbacks he said." He said that he would hand it over to the village, who could prove it? Isn't it just now?!!
"I can prove it. Standing behind the crowd and hearing the current Guo Fengping, he squeezed through the crowd, walked between Xie Hongfei and Lei Xiaobo, and said to the villagers: "As soon as Assistant Lei returned to the village yesterday afternoon, he told me about this. But things are a little different. The rebate of two dimes a pound is actually an intermediary fee. They signed an intermediary contract, and Secretary Lin's daughter and Assistant Lei were one and the same. Assistant Lei was willing to hand over his dime to the village. As for whether Secretary Lin's daughter is willing to hand it over, she has to say it herself. ”
