Chapter 536: Harvest
Daben sped down the highway, and Jia Dong's hurried words echoed in the car.
"Last Wednesday, a fellow villager informed my brother that three of the 20 acres of Jingtai grass he had planted had suddenly withered and died, for unknown reasons. At first, my brother didn't think so, thinking that it might have something to do with the sudden cooling of the weather during that time. But in the next few days, there were villagers who said that all the Jingtai grass they had planted at home suddenly died. At this time, my brother realized the severity of the problem, and quickly took me to Xuanli Village. ”
"Jiadong, let's talk about the point." Hearing this, Lu Tianyu was also anxious.
"When we arrived in Xuanli Village, we were shocked to find that all the hundreds of acres of Jingtai grass planted by the villagers had turned into dead grass, and none of them survived, whether it was new seedlings or adult seedlings that were about to be harvested. When the villagers saw us, they were all in tears, saying that they had put a lot of effort into planting Jingtai grass, and now they were all ruined. When Jia Dong said this, his face was full of sadness, and it can be imagined that he and Jia Qiu were facing the predicament they were facing at that time.
"Jiadong, fellow villagers, I will go to appease, after all, I still have some friendship with Niu Jun, the village chief of Xuanli Village. By the way, how much mirror grass is still in stock in the factory? ”
"There are not many left, there are only about 100 kilograms of sun-dried mirror grass left in the warehouse, and the optimistic estimate is that it can only hold on until next Thursday at most, that is, there are still five days of stock,." Jia Dong said worriedly.
"Dizzy, that's all there is to stock?" This time, Lu Tianyu really realized the strict nature of the problem.
"Well, during this time, the sales of Ice and Snow Skin Oral Liquid are booming, and the one-cut-and-two-stop smoking pills have gradually opened up the market, so the demand for Jingtai grass is increasing, which also leads to the continuous reduction of the inventory of Jingtai grass. Originally, the eighty acres of Jingtai grass planted by the villagers will be harvested tomorrow, but who knew that at this critical juncture, such a thing happened. Jia Dong scolded fiercely.
"Jiadong, how did those mirror grasses suddenly wither and die, have you found out the reason?" This is an issue that Lu Tianyu is very concerned about.
"Not yet. We searched for several days, but we didn't find any suspicious clues. For the sake of prudence, we also specially invited a professor from the Provincial Forestry University, but the result was also confused, and the conclusion was only four words, and the reason is not clear. Jia Dong said in frustration.
Hearing this, Lu Tianyu's brows couldn't help but tighten.
"It's so weird. The master made it very clear in the "Hundred Directions of Divine Grass" to me that Jingtai grass has a very strong vitality, and as long as it passes the initial seedling stage, there will generally be no accidents in the future. Besides, so many acres of Jingtai grass all withered and died in a few days, which is really too bizarre. Could it be ......" Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu cast his eyes out the window, the fields on both sides of the highway were lush and green, a scene full of vitality, which was in stark contrast to his anxious heart at this time.
…………
Because today is Saturday, so there are not many cars on the highway, Jiadong drove the Daben all the way, less than two hours, has arrived at the destination, Huatai company.
After getting out of the car, Lu Tianyu's first feeling was that there was a tense atmosphere throughout the company, and every employee had a solemn face, and it seemed that they already knew about the withering and death of the mirror grass.
Walking into the office building, Lu Tianyu did not see Zhou Hengping, Han Liang, and Jiaqiu and others, and only after inquiring did he know that the three giants of Huatai Company went to Xuanli Village early in the morning, and heard that a new situation had happened there.
Lu Tianyu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called Jiadong, and the two rushed to Xuanli Village in a hurry. Now what Lu Tianyu is most worried about is that if there is a conflict between Zhou Hengping, Han Liang and the villagers, this matter will be difficult to handle.
Jiadong drove the Daben very fast, and it usually took more than an hour to reach Xuanli Village, but now it takes forty minutes to arrive.
Since Xuanli Village is still some distance away from the main road, there is a winding path in between, and he can't drive in, so Lu Tianyu jumped out of the car directly and said to Jiadong: "You find a place to park, I'll go over and see the situation first." ”
Before the words fell, Lu Tianyu had already opened his legs and rushed towards the village, and the speed was amazingly fast.
When he was still more than 200 meters away from Xuanli Village, with his superhuman senses, Lu Tianyu saw a group of people surrounding the entrance of the village, pushing and shoving, unusually noisy, and it was Zhou Hengping, Han Liang, and Jiaqiu who were surrounded in the crowd.
The people around Zhou Hengping, Han Liang and others should be the villagers of Xuanli Village, some of them are known to Lu Tianyu, but there are also some fresh faces, most of them are young people. In the crowd, Lu Tianyu did not see Niu Jun, the village chief of Qingshui Village, and Niu Laohan.
The most energetic among the villagers was a slender young man with a shiny shaved head, and at first glance he looked like a man who could speak well.
"Hey, the three CEOs of Huatai Company, should you make a statement? We have spent so much effort to plant such a large piece of mirror grass, and now they are all dead, how can we calculate the hard work we have worked so hard before? Zhong Fentou spoke a very non-standard Mandarin and said loudly.
This sentence immediately aroused the feelings of the surrounding villagers.
What the people are most afraid of, they are afraid of natural disasters**!
What is an act of God? A large area of mirror grass died inexplicably, this is a natural disaster!
**What is it? Because the mirror grass is dead, Huatai Company, which originally promised to buy it for 200 yuan per kilogram, may default on the contract, this is **!
As for the cause of this **? Is Huatai a breach of contract? They can't control it, for the villagers who have suffered all their lives, they finally have a good opportunity to get rich, even if there is a glimmer of hope, they are not willing to give up.
Facing the excited crowd, Jiaqiu hurriedly stepped forward and protected Zhou Hengping and Han Liang behind him, among the three of them, he knew kung fu, and at this time, he had to stand up.
"Folks, listen to me. We are deeply sympathetic to your losses, and the company is currently studying countermeasures, and a compensation plan can be introduced as soon as this week to ensure that you will not suffer major losses. Jiaqiu secretly lucked his true qi and spread his voice far away.
"We don't want any bullshit compensation plan, we just want Huatai Company to buy Jingtai grass at a price of 200 yuan per kilogram in accordance with the contract." The middle head jumped out again. (To be continued.) )
