"Wang Defa? And this magical operation?! Li Hanxing was still shocked.

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "What's even more amazing is that at the beginning, the island country agricultural cooperatives still counted on the official to pay for their decision, asking the official to provide subsidies for those farmers who took the initiative to reduce production, or even stop production; Of course, the government is not stupid, how could it agree to such a strange request, so it directly vetoed the proposal of the agricultural cooperative, so the agricultural cooperative can only pass on the money to the consumer. ”

"Wait, consumers in island countries are not stupid, how can they accept such an inexplicable consumption?" Li Hanxing hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple, one of the Internet terms that has recently become popular in our China - involution, these two words can highly summarize what the island country agricultural cooperatives do."

Liu Xing took a sip of water and continued: "The meaning of involution is very simple, that is, to do some useless work for your own interests, in order to squeeze your competitors, for example, it may not be appropriate to say that there are two barbers on a street, and their level is almost the same, so if the nearby residents want to get a haircut, the probability of going to a certain barber is fifty percent; One day, a barber chose to cut the price by 10% in order to get more customers, so he got more customers, but in order to get the same income as another barber, he had to pay a certain amount of labor hours. ”

However, from the perspective of short-term benefits, the barber who reduced the price obviously got more income, so the other barber naturally chose to follow up when he saw this situation, so that the income of the two barbers became almost the same, and it was not much different from the income before the price reduction, but the time they needed to work increased by 10%; Of course, although the two barbers in this analogy do not gain more than they lose, their consumers get tangible benefits, but the involution made by the island country agricultural cooperatives is unlucky for everyone. ”

"First of all, the farmers, what they want to plant, how they plant, must be approved by the agricultural cooperatives, and during the planting process, the agricultural cooperatives will also send people to the field to investigate, and once they find something that is not in line with the intentions of the agricultural cooperatives, the agricultural cooperatives will choose to refuse to buy these agricultural products... Li Hanxing, think about it, is there still a place in the world that will list all agricultural products on this acre of land as substandard products because one acre of land produces an extra pound of agricultural products? Even if the quality of these agricultural products is very good, the current island country agricultural cooperative has become the largest landlord in the world, and the farmers of the entire island country are working for the island country agricultural cooperative, so the island country is in fact the second largest bank under the agricultural cooperative. ”

"I'll go, is the agricultural cooperatives in the island country so rich?" Sun Huiwen on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Almost all the money transactions with agriculture have to go through the bank under the agricultural cooperative, so the cash flow of this bank is prominently rich, and this bank is also the strength of the agricultural cooperative, but according to last year's statistics, the bank under the agricultural cooperative has invested these deposits in either the property market or the stock market, and finally about 2 percent of it is invested in agriculture."

Liu Xing raised his two hands and said seriously: "There was once a great man who said that we should grasp both hands and be hard with both hands. In the island country, there is a rule called differential voting, that is, one vote of the agricultural population can be crowned with more votes of the urban population, so the peasants have become a large vote bank, so the peasant cooperatives have relied on the votes of these peasants to elect many parliamentarians, which is the characteristic of the island country - ethnic councillors. ”

"Clan councillor I know, before I joined a transportation company with Sun Huiwen for a certain task, I saw a councilor claiming to be a transport clan come to the company to canvass votes, at that time I also wanted to ask if there were dragon clan councilors, but it turned out that there were really peasant councilors."

Looking at Li Hanxing, who was playing homophonic stalks, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Ethnic councilors are the characteristics of the island country and have to be tasted, so these peasant councilors who are representatives of the agricultural cooperatives will naturally stand up for the agricultural cooperatives, so the agricultural cooperatives can be regarded as finding their last piece of the puzzle; Since you can't resist, you can only choose to join, after all, you surrender and lose half, but because the production end to the sales end are monopolized by the agricultural cooperatives, so although the income of ordinary agricultural products is stable, it is too stable, which is equivalent to you in the company from 9 to 5 in the morning, abide by the company's regulations, and occasionally have to work overtime or something, in the end the monthly income is that number. ”

"Then what can you do, that is, you can only start to roll in, because you can't roll in terms of output and price, then you can only roll in some strange aspects, at the beginning it is over-packed, the fruit basket or something is just a small meaning, put those fruits of the same size and good condition in a grid, and the value will be doubled; Of course, such over-packaging is also tempting for people who need to give gifts, so changing the fruit itself is the real volume, and the quickest way to change the fruit is to make it bigger, as for the taste or something, let's go back. ”

"So we can now see all kinds of ' in the island country. Big' fruits,Their price is naturally a lot more expensive than the ordinary version.,But nutrition and taste or something can't be complimented.,Of course, there are some fruits that enhance the sweetness and taste.,And the appearance or something.,So the price of these fruits has gone up a new level;As for agricultural products that have improved their nutritional content,I think it's a kind of IQ tax for ordinary people.,Because these agricultural products are not those enhancement potions in the game.,You can permanently increase your attribute value by taking a bite.。 ”

"Well, I remember that I used to brush out an interlude growth, which was to let me spend a lot of money to buy some high-nutrient fruits and vegetables, and then I had a 50% chance of increasing a certain attribute value, of course, there was a 45% chance of no effect, and a 5% chance of deducting a certain attribute value."

Hearing Li Hanxing say this, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Then you must choose this intermission growth, there is only a five percent probability that there will be negative events, because such a good intermission growth is too rare." ”

"It's a pity that there are too many funds needed for this intermission growth, and I was just a fledgling mercenary at the time, but I didn't have a lot of money to start this intermission growth... This is really a penny that is difficult for heroes, I knew that I should have accepted this interlude growth first, and then took Sun Huiwen to the bank to 'borrow' some money in the next module to deal with emergencies. ”

Looking at Li Hanxing, who had a look of remorse, Liu Xing could only shake his head and said: "It seems that this is just the Cthulhu Run game hall playing tricks on you, giving you an interlude growth that looks beautiful, but it is impossible to do. But Li Hanxing, it's not too late now, because there are still a lot of agricultural products with high nutritional value here in the island country, and their only disadvantage is that they are relatively expensive, but the last thing we lack now is money. ”

"yes, why didn't I think of it?"

Li Hanxing said as he took out his mobile phone and turned on the shopping mode, "Wait, the best strawberries in the island country belong to the Sawada family?" Apples too? ”

Liu Xing leaned over to take a look and found that many kinds of agricultural products produced by the Sawada family are known as the crown of the island country, rich in vitamins ABCDEFG, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, copper, plutonium... Uh, it's the last one.

All in all, Liu Xing looked at the sales list of the Sawada family, and for a moment thought that he was watching an advertisement for a certain TV shopping platform.

"Then I'll call Sawada Yayin first, and it would be great if I could eat and drink for nothing."

As a man with strong mobility, Li Hanxing dialed Sawada Yayin's phone as soon as his voice fell.

As a result, Sawada Yayin's answer was very simple, that is, the agricultural products produced by the Sawada family were all improved by her, so she was very sure that although the nutritional value of these agricultural products was more than ordinary similar products, but this increase was not too high, so the Sawada family used some spring and autumn brushwork when carrying out online publicity, such as the unit on the nutrition comparison table is "one", and the weight of a Sawada brand apple is equivalent to two ordinary varieties of apples, So this comparison table looks like a big difference between the two numbers in the same row.

Of course, even the Sawada family has not escaped the clutches of the island country agricultural cooperative, so the output of the Sawada family's agricultural products is not high, and this is still the case of the Sawada family making a special brand... According to Sawada Yayin, the Sawada family, who was still growing ordinary crops back then, was cheated by the agricultural cooperative, and even if the Sawada family was already the largest family in Ziwu City, they were also eaten to death by the island country agricultural cooperative, so they could only sell their products in their own stores.

Although agricultural products are not a major source of income for the Sawada family, they do not steam steamed buns to compete for breath, so Sawada Yayin spent a semester researching those new varieties, and then sold them to the island country agricultural cooperatives at a high price... There's no way, when Sawada Yayin ate the new varieties he researched, he felt that these melons, fruits and vegetables were not as delicious as ordinary varieties, and the added nutritional value was better than nothing, so it was better to sell them to make some money.

As a result, Li Hanxing's plan to eat and drink for nothing failed, because the Sawada family produced a limited number of agricultural products, and they had long been ordered.

Looking at Li Hanxing, who was a little disappointed, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Didn't Sawada Yayin say that the taste of those agricultural products is not good, and even their creators are not willing to take an extra bite... Of course, I've heard that the fruit baskets in the island countries that are specially used to visit the sick look good, but they taste like chewing wax, so I don't think you want to eat candles every day. ”

"Forget it, I'm still a man who values the desire of the tongue."

Li Hanxing shook his head and continued to complain: "From this point of view, the peasant cooperatives of the island country are really a strange existence, nominally to protect the farmers of their own country, but as a result, except for a small number of farmers, other farmers have become its workers; As for the consumers in the island countries, they were even more inflicted with blood mold, they could have eaten cheap and good quality agricultural products, but they had to pay a high price for it because of the selfish interests of the agricultural cooperatives, no wonder before I came to the island countries, I often heard that the people of the island countries could not afford to eat fruits. ”

"I can't afford to eat fruits, but I can afford to drink 100% pure fruit juice, so a very magical reality may only happen in the island country, because those fruits with poor quality can't be on the market, so they can only be sold at a low price to make juice, so there are so many fruit juice drinks in the island country."

Liu Xing said as he looked at the automatic vending machine (free version) not far away - because there were too many people on the farm, and the location of the farm was relatively remote, Guchuan Xiaofu asked someone to get a few vending machines and put them everywhere, and everyone could use them at will.

"Huh? Liu Xing, when you say this, I found out that there are indeed a lot of fruit juice drinks in this vending machine, but then again, the original owner of this farm is a bit powerful, and he can bypass the agricultural cooperative to do business. Li Hanxing said with some admiration: "So the reason why this farm has become what it is today is not because the original owner of the farm offended the agricultural cooperative, and as a result, he was overshadowed by the agricultural cooperative, right?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, after all, the agricultural cooperatives of the island country are already a huge interest group, and they will not watch this farm break the rules they have set, even if the products that this farm can produce every year are very limited."

Liu Xing touched his chin and asked with some curiosity: "Did those villagers mention that the original owner of this farm had any conflicts with the agricultural cooperatives?" ”

"Of course, there have been some conflicts, but they can only be regarded as petty fights, nothing more than that the agricultural cooperatives do not issue certificates to the farms, so that downstream customers do not buy the farm's things, but the results are very ineffective; In addition, there are some small actions that are not seen, such as cutting off water and electricity, but because the original owner of the farm has some skills, the farm can continue to open until the quality of the farm's products really declines... Of course, everyone thinks that this is a good thing that the agricultural cooperatives have done, but unfortunately there is no evidence to prove it. ”

Hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Liu Xing's mind, that is, it wouldn't be the agricultural cooperatives in Nagoya who controlled the drought, right?!

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing felt that this possibility was quite high.
