The big guy starts with raising pigs

Chapter 288 The plight of the fruit farmers
It's summer at the end of May
The plums planted by local farmers in Qingshan are about to enter the picking period.

At this time, the fruit trees all over the mountains and plains are full of fruits, which look extremely attractive.

But everyone feels a headache when they look at these fruits. Because of the epidemic, the industry is sluggish and consumption is sluggish this year, and our plum sales will definitely be greatly affected.

Seeing that this year's plums are about to ripen, there are not many bosses coming to the village to look at the goods. In previous years, every time the fruit is about to ripen, there will be an endless stream of bosses buying.

Seeing this deserted scene, the tens of thousands of local farmers who planted plums in Qingshan feel cold. They feel that the situation this year will be extremely bad and severe. Everyone doubts whether this year's plums can be sold.

Hongshiya Village is next door to Zhangjiawan

Their village is also the most famous fruit-growing village in the nearby Shilibaxiang. The plums planted in the whole village are estimated to be more than [-] mu.

Therefore, the income of the villagers depends almost entirely on the plums in the orchard.

Everyone has to rely on the income from selling plums to pay their children's school fees, buy a car and a house for their children and marry a wife, and the rest has to support the family.

But this year everyone is very worried about the price and sales of plums, and even a little desperate. Everyone knows the reason.

As the plum-picking period approaches, Ran Lao Er from Hongshiya Village, like everyone else, runs to the entrance of the village every day. The purpose is to stop several bosses, hoping that some bosses will buy their own fruits.

On this day, Liu Wuye was squatting on the side of the road and smoking a pipe, when he saw Ran Laoer walking over listlessly, he asked curiously:

"Second Ran, haven't your plums been sold? Why are you still here 'on duty'?"

"It would be great if it was sold, but the boss went around the orchard and left without saying anything!" Ran's second son shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, the market is not good right now, and these bosses don't even dare to offer the price!" Fifth Master Liu took a puff of dry tobacco, and then sighed.

"That's right, it's hard to earn money due to the epidemic this year, so our plums are also hard to sell!" The other villagers beside them couldn't help shaking their heads.

Hearing this, everyone's mood became even more depressed, thinking that this year's income will definitely be greatly affected, and this year's life may be difficult!

Just when everyone fell into anxiety and despair, the leaders of the county were also worried about the fruit sales of fruit farmers in the county.

The situation this year is not good and consumption is sluggish, which puts huge pressure on the sales of fruits and many agricultural products in Qingshan and other regions.

Secretary Liu, who had just been promoted, was very anxious, but after much deliberation, there was still no good solution.

At this moment, the little secretary beside him gave him a suggestion:
"Secretary Liu, I think live broadcasts are very popular recently. Why don't we find a few Internet celebrity anchors to help with the delivery? Help sell our county's agricultural products?"

"Live streaming?"

Secretary Liu's eyes lit up, thinking, isn't this the strong point of Zhang Hai and his company?
According to the data released by Shanshen Group, their company created more than one billion online sales data in the first half of last year.

Isn't such a strong ability to carry goods what I need most?
"Okay, Xiao Li, your suggestion is good. You should immediately inform the leaders of the county that we will hold a standing committee meeting at noon!"

"Okay, Secretary Liu!"

Xiao Li was very happy when he saw that his suggestion was adopted by the leader, and immediately went to inform other leaders to prepare for the meeting.

After Xiao Li left, Secretary Liu immediately took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Hai.

"Hello? Where are you now, Xiaohai?"

"Uncle Liu, what's the matter? I'm in the provincial capital now!" Zhang Hai saw that it was Secretary Liu's call, and he was very curious why this person was looking for him?

"Xiaohai is like this. The fruit sales situation in our county is very bad this year. I wonder if your company can provide some help to help fruit farmers sell their fruits through live broadcasting?" After speaking, Secretary Liu looked expectant. Waiting for Zhang Hai's reply.

"Live broadcast to help farmers?" Zhang Hai asked again.

"Hey!! That's right, it's a live broadcast to help farmers. I wonder if your company can help?" Secretary Liu nodded quickly.

"Sure, Uncle Liu, just let me know when you need it, our company's anchor will be on call at any time!" Zhang Hai smiled and immediately agreed.

To be honest, Zhang Hai is also very happy to be able to help the folks in the county, because Zhang Hai himself was born as a farmer and knows how hard Chinese farmers are. It can even be said that Chinese farmers are the most hardworking farmers in the world.

It is a pity that in this world, it is not possible to make a fortune by sweating, because modern agriculture is no longer a small-scale peasant economy like men farming and women weaving, but a high-tech industry that requires technology and capital support.

"Haha, okay, okay, I knew you would be willing to help, uncle Liu owes you a favor." Secretary Liu was very happy. Although he knew that Zhang Hai would agree, he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"Uncle Liu, you are too far-fetched. I am also from Qingshan. It is my honor to make a little contribution to the folks." Zhang Hai smiled modestly.

Secretary Liu was also very happy to hear that Zhang Hai was so modest, and he had a better impression of Zhang Hai, thinking that he must let his son get in touch with Zhang Hai more often.

…………

At noon that day
A leadership meeting was held in the county.

In this meeting, the main leaders of the county mainly discussed the fruit sales of more than [-] fruit farmers in the county.

This cannot be ignored by the leaders, because almost every household in Qingshan County has planted fruit trees.
According to the county's statistics, the county's annual fruit production has reached 30 million tons, of which plum production can reach more than half, and the annual sales are around 4 million.

This accounts for almost 50.00% of the total income of farmers in the county, and many farmers even live on a few acres of orchards at home.

Therefore, if there is a problem with our plum sales this year, [-] to [-] percent of the farmers in the county will be affected, and many farmers will be plunged into poverty.

Therefore, no matter from the poverty alleviation strategy or for the long-term stability of the people of the county, the leaders of the county must find a market for the fruits of more than [-] farmers in the county. Otherwise, this is the dereliction of duty of the leaders and the inaction of the leaders.

Therefore, Secretary Liu attached great importance to this matter, and made a speech at the beginning of the meeting at noon that day.

"Everyone knows the main content of the support meeting. Yes, today we are going to discuss the possible unsalable fruit in the county."

"We have a total of [-] to [-] fruit farmers in Qingshan County, but due to the outbreak of the epidemic, fruit farmers in the entire county may face difficulties in selling their fruits this year."

"So let's discuss it today and see if we can find any good ways to help fruit farmers sell the fruits that are about to go on the market smoothly."

"Next, everyone can speak freely, and if you have any good suggestions, everyone can talk about it!"
