At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the meeting room of the city hall, the consultation meeting on the "iApple Project" officially began.

The meeting, chaired by the new governor Konstantin, was attended by six influential plantation owners in the city, two of whom declared themselves unwell and did not attend.

"Two dissenting guys, this kind of meeting is not coming, and there will be nothing more to Apple's big deal. ”

Markov watched coldly, and the other three all looked distracted.

"It's better to have some harsh rules to scare these three guys away. Hopefully, these three guys didn't make up their minds to sell themselves. ”

He only had a 40,000-pound warehouse deposit to use, not cash, and he had no advantage in the hands of the town hall.

"Whatever Director Duck offers, I'll make it to the end—as long as you don't get me stuck. ”

The staff handed out a stack of materials to each person, and the four of them hurriedly buried their heads in research.

It is clear from the introduction that the Iapple program covers a wide range of aspects, from apple planting to sales, and all growers who join the program must obey the unified command of the city hall for production and operation, and cannot arrange it themselves.

This made all the big growers, including Markov, frown.

Flipping through the text, after just one glance, the four of them were frightened.

First, those who join iapple must be devout believers, because all the glory and authority belong to the God of Light, so the land of the joiner is also owned by God as a matter of course, and the joiner only has the right to use but not the ownership.

God of Light, has a word turned away the land that we have worked so hard for generations?

Markov was stunned, this is not the same script I thought!

Lord Dark, you've really given us a big surprise, what's the difference between this and Ming Robbery?

Someone couldn't hold his breath: "That is, turn us into tenant farmers in the Inquisition and the City Hall." Konstantin, is that what you mean, or is that shameless voyeur Duck meant?"

Konstantin was displeased: "Ladies and gentlemen, for a long time, have you not counted what the local apple production has been like? Ladies and gentlemen, which one of you has not lost money this year? Isn't it good to turn the decentralized operation into a centralized operation organized by the city hall? Moreover, in order to take care of you, the city hall will pay to redeem the land rights and ensure that everyone will not lose money." If you want to, you are willing, if you don't want us not to force it, why should you speak ill of others?"

"Oh, you're still 'us'? You're a dog under Duck!" the man was furious, "Lao Tzu told you that I came here today to scold you! Lao Tzu's family property has already been sold, and his wife and children are in the holy city, so there is a kind of biting Lao Tzu!"

Konstantin smiled: "I didn't expect someone to quit so soon, please go." As he spoke, he shook his head to the left and right, and the guard immediately took him out.

The man was put up, and his mouth did not stop: "Konstantin, you despicable and shameless ass licking villain, Lao Tzu is waiting to see what happens to you, see what happens to you!"

There was a deathly silence in the conference room, and Konstantin sat down unhurriedly and tasted the fine black tea in his cup, as if he had expected such a thing.

After about five minutes, he said slowly: "No one has spoken, it seems that everyone agrees on the most difficult one, and it will be easy to do later." Second, apples and derivative products are purchased and sold by the city hall in a unified manner, if you eat inside and outside, and take the benefits and outsiders are not clear in private, don't blame the city hall for turning face. ”

You might as well take a look at it. Markov couldn't help but want to speak, and someone took the lead: "This one is for me, right?"

"Mr. Smolny, who of you doesn't know that you have a wide range of sales channels and connections with several major chambers of commerce, and your apple production is not necessarily the highest, but it must be the fastest. ”

Smolny sneered: "I thought you forgot about me." To be honest, for me, as long as the land is still usable and can be used cheaply, it doesn't matter if you don't pay this tax or that tax all day long. But don't you want my life with this one? Only when you clench your fist can you have power, we understand this truth, these people here have not cooperated, and they have made a lot of profits; now that the city hall can take the lead, I have no objection, maybe the entire apple market in the Holy Papal States can be taken by us!"

Konstantin bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"I don't understand. There are hardships to suffer together, but there are no blessings to enjoy together. Each family has different efforts and different efficiency, and you wipe all these with a stroke of the pen, don't you take my fair share for charity? I have a lot of income, but the expenses are also large, a large family is waiting for me to feed, and there are other sales channels, just the relationship maintenance will cost nearly half of the income for a year. ”

Konstantin smiled: "In the future, these will be managed by the city hall, and you don't need to spend a single copper, isn't it equivalent to increasing your income by nearly half?"

"Forget it, Lord Constantine, I don't know exactly how much the Black Holy Land earns, the Loror Chamber of Commerce is a business giant, the only chartered company in the Kingdom of New Tennotiran, and a colonial mining magnate, and the demolition and sale of Lorma City may not be enough for a fraction of the daily income of others. You hand over the sales to it, and if it turns around and doesn't recognize it, and the old way doesn't work, where are you going to make us cry? Or are you going to pay for it out of your own pocket?"

"This involves confidentiality, and I can't disclose it, but now I can only say that this town hall team is capable, please believe this. Sometimes it takes a little courage and innovation to do business, right?"

Smolny got up: "I'm sorry, if I'm twenty years younger, maybe I'll take a gamble." Rurik had already hurt me before, I didn't want to be hurt again, I gave up. Thank you. ”

With that, Smolny walked away, and Konstantin greeted with a smile.

Now, only Markov and an old man named Walter remain.

As soon as Konstantin's gaze turned, Walter raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, can I say a few words first?"

"Mr. Walter's apple trade is well-known throughout the Papal States, and you are a senior in the apple industry, please have something to say. ”

"Can you let the guards out for a while? We two are old and young, and we can't afford to make any waves, and we want to talk to you alone. ”

Konstantin waved the guard to wait outside the door and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Walter said: "I think the plan is almost the same here. Lord Darke needs money, right?"

"It's not about the Inquisition, it's a town hall innovation—"

"Huh. ”

“...... Well, this is Lord Dark's revolutionary measure. However, it is really for the happiness of the whole city-"

"I know, so whatever Lord Duck wants, as long as I can afford it, I'll give it. ”

Konstantin and Markov's eyes widened together: "Huh?"

"There are more apples, and there are many losses, especially this year, and if it weren't for Lord Dak's eradication of these moths in one fell swoop, I would have to sell my house and land. I understand what you just said, Master Duck wants to lead this group on a new path, and there is no cost to walk, so how can it be done. ”

Konstantin rejoiced: "You mean ......"

"I'll do it. As long as I can afford it, I won't feel distressed for a copper!"

Markov secretly complained, but he didn't expect to repay the favor halfway.

Aren't the two of them the same just now, but you can see how careful they are!

I had no choice but to admit it. Markov gritted his teeth and nodded.

Konstantin breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, the third. ”

Walter said, "I just said no. ”

Konstantin smiled bitterly: "This is what Lord Duck meant, and I must make the three principles clear." ”

"Oh, then you can say it. ”

"Thirdly, after joining the program, all cultivation, planting, and processing must be of the same standard, and use the technology provided by the town hall. If you need to improve the technology, you need to consult with the town hall and pay a consultation fee. ”

Walterqi said: "Wait, why do you want to talk about the consulting fee alone?"

"Because the consulting fee is higher than the cost of joining iapple. ”

"How tall?"

"As long as you pay the consulting fee, you can be sure that you will be able to get the technology you need. The cost is cumulative, the first is 100,000, the second is 200,000, the third is 400,000, and so on. ”

Walter and Markov were stupid.
