Chapter 516: A True Act of Good
Enjoying the perfect and fresh seafood feast, a group of artists who went to sea with the boat also began to enjoy the scenery of Lan Ya Island under the arrangement of Xu Zhengdao. And Xu Zhengdao asked Zhou Yanfa to find the most respected lieutenant on the island.
The so-called lieutenant chief is actually also the village chief. It's just that if you can take this position, you must also be recognized by the islanders. In today's Xiangjiang, in many remote villages, the power of the patriarch and the chief is not small!
And because of the many surnames on Lanya Island, there is naturally no so-called patriarch, and many things are mediated and handled by the chief. Although he didn't know why Xu Zhengdao wanted to invite the lieutenant chief, Zhou Yanfa quickly invited the lieutenant chief.
For the elder lieutenant, although he doesn't understand why these famous young rich people invite themselves. But when he saw Zhou Yanfa who came to the door in person, he still came to the dock very quickly and saw Xu Zhengdao who was waiting at the beach.
After introducing the two to each other, Xu Zhengdao also said respectfully: "If the chief doesn't dislike it, I will call you Ah Gong just like Ah Fa." I would like to ask, are many people on the island engaged in seafood fishing now?"
"Yes! Yan Sheng, do you want to invest here?"
Facing the chief's inquiry, Xu Zhengdao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Grandpa, I'm very sorry, for the time being, my company really hasn't thought about investing in other places. It's just that I heard Ah Fa say before that the villagers rely on the sea to eat, but their lives are not very satisfactory.
I invited you to come here, but I also want to know that your usual seafood is specially collected by someone, or do you send it to the fish stall? But I heard Ah Fa say before, the price of the seafood you worked so hard to get seems to be very cheap?"
"Alas, the people of our island have been fishing for generations. When we hit the seafood at a good price, we are reluctant to eat it. But in the past two years, the price of seafood has not risen, and the catch has been decreasing year by year.
Speaking of selling seafood, some fishmongers came by boat to collect it. Now they don't come, they are directly on the side of the fishing dock, waiting for us to deliver the fish. The price is low, but if you don't sell it to them, no one else will dare to accept it!"
"Is that so? Ah Gong, if I send someone here to set up a place to collect seafood, are you willing to sell it to me? I also came from a poor background, and although I have some inheritance now, I can't see you being bullied.
As long as you are willing to sell the seafood to the people I send, then the price will definitely go at the normal market price. If other people are willing to pay a high price for your seafood, then you can sell it to them.
I just hope that this will let those who feel comfortable eating you know that your seafood isn't that cheap. If anyone dares to trouble you, you can call Ah Fa and I will send someone to clean them up."
"Really? If Yan Sheng is willing to accept seafood, we will definitely be willing to sell it to you! Although the old man rarely went out, he also knew that Yan Sheng was a kind-hearted person. But we really can't afford to mess with those people!"
"It's okay! There are some things I don't know, and I can't handle them. But I knew about it before, so I'd be sure to take care of it. My parents have always warned me to do more good deeds. For me, that's a good deed every day."
"Thank you Yan Sheng, on behalf of the fishermen on the island, the old man really appreciates your help!"
"It's okay! They are all from Xiangjiang, and I hope that the big guys will be more prosperous in the future!"
For Xu Zhengdao, the purchase of seafood is just a whim. And he is not afraid that he will offend the gangs that monopolized the seafood market before. As far as the current mythical group is concerned, there is no problem in digesting this seafood.
In doing so, he may upset the gangs that monopolize the seafood market. But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if there is dissatisfaction, it must be held back. Moreover, in the follow-up, he will also arrange for the TV station to follow up with the newspaper.
Now that he has accumulated a small amount of wealth, all that remains to do is to brush up some popularity. Although he donated a lot of money and materials before, this kind of kindness was more for the official agency to do. Now meddling in the seafood market is only the first step in his good deeds.
In the future, Myth Group will also register a foundation to help the poor. As long as he persists in doing this, even if he needs to spend a lot of money every year, he and the group's reputation in Xiangjiang will also get more public support.
In the future, even if someone wants to find a group
also have to consider whether the people will agree. And this kind of thing, in Xu Zhengdao's opinion, is also a gesture. But for the fishermen on the island, it's a real act of good!
When Xu Zhengdao and his entourage left, looking at the fishermen who came to see them off, they thanked and said goodbye, and Xu Zhengdao also said goodbye with his hand. Zhou Yanfa, who saw this scene, also knew that his prestige on the island would also reach a higher level.
But what really moved him was that he still felt that following such a boss might make life more meaningful!
It wasn't long before he learned the news that the gang that monopolized the seafood market said somewhat angrily, "This damn thing, he doesn't follow the rules! If you can't do his business well, why should you meddle in our business?"
"Alas, who is called strong! If you are dissatisfied, you will lead people to make trouble!"
"I don't dare! Provoke him, I haven't lived enough!"
is still the same sentence, as far as the deterrent power of the Mythical Group in the hearts of the underground forces is concerned, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only hold back. On the same day, Shinhwa Group dispatched staff in charge of supermarket procurement to set up an acquisition point on Lanya Island.
According to the current market price of each seafood product in Xiangjiang, a conscience price that is very fair to fishermen is given. In the words of many fishermen, the same catch is sold for less than twice as much money as before.
After the news broke, many fishermen who made a living from fishing also drove their fishing boats directly to the fishing dock on Lanya Island. Regarding the arrival of these fishermen, Xu Zhengdao also said directly: "Let's buy it openly!"
As for the issue of sales, Xu Zhengdao also felt that there would be no problem. Each of its companies alone consumes a large portion of regular seafood. And those high-end seafood can be supplied to the group's hotels and catering enterprises.
Although some media have questioned the report, Xu Zhengdao's actions are suspected of disrupting the seafood market. But with the follow-up interview report of Panda TV, this voice was quickly suppressed.
Because the price of high-end seafood has not risen because of this, many high-end catering companies are no different from the previous price when purchasing seafood. The difference is that the object of their purchase has changed from the previous fish stall to the supermarket supplier.
But for those who make a living from fishing, the increase in income is real. According to the commentary given by Shenzhou Daily, the Mythical Group's involvement in seafood purchases is more just to increase the income of fishermen.
If other seafood traders want to continue to engage in the profession of seafood purchase, they only need to increase the corresponding purchase price, and they can still buy seafood and make money. But if you want to make black money by exploiting fishermen as before, it is impossible.
All in all, through this seemingly insignificant matter, Xu Zhengdao's status in the hearts of many ordinary people in Xiangjiang has improved a lot in an instant. In the eyes of these ordinary people, such a kind-hearted young rich man is what they want to see!
