Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 280 Undercurrent
All the way!
The iconic sound of the bouncing car woke up the small mountain village from its slumber, and the villagers knew that the tree giver had entered the village.

After a hasty breakfast, the villagers walked out of the house carrying shovels and hoes, forming scattered teams in twos and threes, and walked towards Uncle Red Soldier's house.

"Is this Caogou Village?" In a bouncing car full of old fruit trees, the young driver looked at the surrounding environment and asked Zheng Xi in a low voice.

Originally, Zheng Xi didn't intend to enter the village. Everyone in the village has seen his face. If he is recognized, Boss Gao and the others can change their faces and run away.

The boss of the dog.

It was obvious that he wanted to be the scapegoat.

But if you don't agree, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Songbai Town and become a pile of bones in the mountains.

"Yes, this is Caogou Village, Qiangzi, you have to be careful, the villagers here are very fierce, I was in their hands last time." Zheng Xi reminded with a serious expression.

fierce!
Qiangzi looked at the villagers passing by the car through the car window, and smiled disdainfully.

No matter how fierce it is, it will be fiercer if there is a blind bear!
"When you sit in the car later, point me to Li Hongbing."

Dongfeng City.

The long queue in front of the Yonghong supermarket chain has become a scenic spot in the urban area.

As the supermarket adjusted the prices of oak vegetables and eggs, plus 50 servings of vegetables and poultry eggs were sold in one store every day, the queue became more and more tense, and even root vegetables could not be bought when they arrived late.

"What's the matter, you don't even line up at 5 o'clock."

"It's only 5 o'clock. You see that there are no scalpers in front of you. They started to occupy their seats in the middle of the night. Go back!"

"It's too much. They buy vegetables but don't eat them, and the supermarket doesn't care."

"I'm afraid you don't know, 30 yuan a catty of oak vegetables can be sold for 150 yuan in the provincial capital, just like picking up money."

Customers who were not in line stood on the side of the road, looking at the familiar faces in the line ahead.

They are the same people every day. At the beginning they still sold places, but now they don’t. They just wait for the supermarket to open to buy vegetables.

Think about a store that sells 50 copies of oak vegetables and eggs every day. The cost is 2000 yuan, but it can be multiplied by 5 times in one hand. The difference between the prices is enough to make some people crazy.

But ordinary consumers were the ones who suffered the damage. There used to be straight-tempered customers who called the police. After these people left, they secretly beat up the customer who called the police. In the end, the supermarket came forward to solve the problem.

After coming and going, customers dare not speak out, and being beaten up for eating food is really not worth it, and the worst thing is to get up earlier.

The time turned and came to 7 o'clock.

According to the process, after the supermarket opens, the security guard will pull out the isolation belt and let the customers in line into the store.

But today was different. The security guard walked out of the store without pulling the isolation belt, but put up a public notice board instead.

The first person in the line was a young man with yellow hair. He got acquainted with the security guard every day in line, and asked with a playful smile when he saw that the security guard would not let anyone in.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter, you won't be selling vegetables today?"

The security guard squinted at Huang Mao and knew that he was a scalper. Although he didn't like it, there was no need to offend anyone with a salary of 2000 yuan.

Then he pointed to the public notice board beside him, and said gloatingly.

"The rules of grocery shopping have been changed, and you guys probably feel bad about it."

What!
Change the rules! !

Huang Mao's eyes jumped, and he quickly looked at the public notice board, and his heart skipped a beat after reading it.

There is only one sentence in my heart.

The fortune is about to be cut off!
Immediately, the line stopped, pushing away the crowd and running towards the van.

Others stepped forward one after another and surrounded the public notice board with three floors inside and three floors outside, so that outsiders could not squeeze in, and asked loudly what happened.

Seeing that there are more and more people, and there are many old people in the crowd, it will be troublesome if you squeeze out.

The security guard surnamed Liu raised his hands, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I'll read it to everyone."

"Okay, read it quickly." The crowd outside kept urging.

The security guard surnamed Liu moistened his throat and read it word by word.

"From now on, Yonghong Supermarket Oak brand vegetables and poultry eggs will be ordered online through APP."

"Buyers must be members of the Yonghong supermarket chain for more than one year, and the monthly membership consumption reaches 500 yuan before they are eligible to buy Oak brand vegetables and poultry eggs."

"Oak brand vegetables and poultry eggs can be picked up by customers themselves, or they can be delivered by order."

After the security guard finished reading the notice, there was a short pause in the crowd, and various voices erupted violently the next moment.

Some people are against it, some are in favor, some are insulting, some are applauding.

"That's good. I'm a ten-year-old member of Yonghong Supermarket."

"I don't need to queue in the future. I will buy thousands of things in the supermarket every month."

"Why should there be restrictions? Can I become a member now?"

"It's not fair, I spend money to buy food, why should I limit it?"

Those who opposed and abused were naturally the scalpers. The two thresholds of one-year membership and monthly consumption of 500 yuan can block 90% of the scalpers.

Approval and applause are ordinary consumers. For them, these two thresholds are the same as none. Membership and consumption are all up to standard, and in the future, you don’t have to get up early to queue up, and you don’t have to sulk with scalpers, you can buy the oak tree you want vegetable.

"I don't agree, why change the rules today, what do I count as a queue, you must give me the food today, otherwise your supermarket will not even want to open for business."

A man with a fleshy face stood in front of the door and yelled, and other scalpers took the opportunity to follow suit, demanding that the supermarket provide oak vegetables, otherwise no one would buy them.

But it didn't take long before the arrogance, a few men rushed out of the supermarket, neatly held down the fleshy man and dragged him away, before leaving, he took a meaningful look at the other troublesome scalpers.

"Those people..." the scalpers felt a sudden in their hearts.

It seems to be from the Criminal Economics Team, and one of them seems to be the black-faced god of the Northern District Bureau. This person is notorious for being a criminal, and many colleagues have stumbled under his hands.

I am Cao!

Yonghong Supermarket is playing for real.

No one dared to make trouble now, and the scalpers obediently let out of the supermarket entrance.

A low-key black car was parked on the side of the road.

Cui Yong had dark circles under his eyes, and while yawning, he listened to the vice president of sales report on the information sent by each store.

"Mr. Cui, you've done a great trick. Not only can you save your reputation and control scalpers, but it can also greatly increase the store's turnover. This trick kills three birds with one stone at a high level." The vice president of sales gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"It's just a piece of wool. I have a way to clean them up. I will send a batch of oak vegetables to Director Sun tomorrow. This also counts as cooperation between the police and the people."

Cui Yong shamelessly accepts the flattery of his subordinates, although Ouyang Hua taught him these methods.

"By the way, how is the store research going? We will strive to open oak vegetable franchised stores in cities above the fourth tier in Northern Province by the end of this month."

The vice president of sales said with a smile on his face.

"Currently, the decoration of 8 stores has been completed, and 4 more are nearing completion, and they are guaranteed to be all online at the end of the month. In terms of delivery, I have already talked about the same with Meigou Waimai, and I can sign the contract in these two days."

After finishing talking, it hurts to bring up the old topic again.

There is a problem with the production capacity of oak vegetables and poultry eggs. There are only three to four thousand catties of vegetables and hundreds of poultry eggs every day, which is not enough to fit between the teeth.

If the production capacity is doubled by ten times, I am absolutely confident that I will win the position of the No. [-] supermarket in Northern Province.

Ugh!
When mentioning this matter, Cui Yong was also embarrassed.

Who doesn't know that the oak tree vegetables make money, but the brother-in-law is not good enough, and the typical emperor is not in a hurry to eunuchs.

"Forget it, keep the status quo first, how is the preparation of the observation team?"

"According to your request, the observation team has expanded to ten observers, and they can set off into the mountains at any time."

Mr. Cui nodded. The scalper's matter is temporarily resolved, which can be regarded as getting rid of a heart problem. In the future, he can let go of developing the surrounding market and use the Oak brand to promote Yonghong Supermarket to a provincial supermarket.

……

Chexi Road Industrial Park, Dongfeng City.

In the courtyard of a dilapidated factory building, more than 20 dilapidated vans were parked, and the drivers squatted together in twos and threes, smoking and bragging.

"It looks like it's going to die. Yonghong Supermarket has blocked the way to pour vegetables. Maybe they will have dinner in a few days."

"Short brother can just watch his money get cut off, 10,000+ a day, it's like picking up money for nothing."

"Then what can we do? The new regulations issued by other supermarkets are for us."

"I heard that the short brother is checking the roots of oak vegetables."

"Don't talk nonsense, we just drive, it's no good knowing too much."

Factory office building.

In an office, the atmosphere is dignified and smoky. Seven or eight people sit on the sofa and smoke without saying a word. The boss's chair at the back of the room faces everyone.

One of the bald men stood up abruptly and said to the boss chair.

"Short brother, it can't be done like this. We have more than 20 cars, more than 30 people, and tens of thousands of expenses a day. It can't be said that if we don't do it, we won't do it."

When someone spoke, others immediately joined in.

"That's right, why don't I bring someone to bleed Cui Yong, really take yourself seriously, let's enter the water without breaking the river, and each earn his own money."

"I know where Cui Yong's family lives, and I don't know what my last name is when I open a broken supermarket."

"Calm down, I think it's better to talk to Cui Yong. After all, each earns his own money. He sells vegetables and we don't lose a penny. It's our ability to serve vegetables."

"Yes, let's talk about it. It's okay to share some profits with him. There's no need to fight."

"Ma Mule, the older you are, the less courageous you are now. Are you still here? People like Cui Yong should see Hong."

"Wrench, what are you talking about? You have nothing else on your mind except being popular. We are doing serious business now, so don't bring in the society."

"Fuck, you bastard without a basket, go back and hide in a woman's crotch!"

"What did you say, say it again."

"Tell me what's the matter, and practice if you don't accept it."

The next moment, the office was divided into two opposing groups, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

boom!
An ashtray was smashed between the two groups of people, and the ash was scattered all over the office.

The quarrel stopped abruptly.

A short middle-aged man stood up slowly from the boss's chair, with a five-level disability, estimated to be only about 1.5 meters.

Although the middle-aged man was short, he had a sinister face, two pointed cheekbones, and his eyes rolled up in a daze, which was very scary.

"Arguing, fighting, killing!"

The hoarse voice was like a file, scaring everyone in the room to shrink their necks, and the two groups of people who were in opposition just now looked like brothers.

"Short brother, let's say... just kidding."

"Yeah, yeah, don't get angry, we're just kidding."

The short brother glanced at everyone, and continued to speak in that file-like voice.

"I have already inquired from the buyer of Yonghong Supermarket that the planting base of oak vegetables is a farmer named Li Hongbing, Cui Yong's brother-in-law, and his hometown is Caogou Village in the forest area."

As soon as the voice fell, the bald man named Wrench immediately answered.

"Short brother, I'll take someone to the forest area right away. A farmer is afraid of asking for help. Just slap him and feed him some sugar, and we can get the oak tree vegetable planting base."

The short brother looked at the bald man indifferently, and then nodded, "It's good to go, remember, we are businessmen, I will throw away the set of fighting and killing, and make money with harmony. Tell that Li Hongbing, no matter what Cui Yong buys. Whatever you give, we will pay twice."

"Short brother, twice as much..." The bald man wanted to argue.

Snapped!
A Zippo lighter hit his forehead, and blood gushed out from the wound. The bald man stood still and did not dare to move.

"You teach me?" The little brother's upturned eyes glowed fiercely.

"Short Brother, I was wrong." The bald man picked up the lighter, carefully wiped off the blood stains on it with his clothes, walked up to Short Brother respectfully, knelt down and held up the lighter humbly.

"Go, Mule is with you, don't make matters worse, and make money with harmony."

After taking the lighter, the short brother walked back to the boss chair and sat down.

The office was silent, everyone looked at each other, opened the door quietly and walked out.

.........

Li's old house
Thanks to the concerted efforts of the villagers, Horseshoe Bay is full of fruit trees. From a distance, you can only see a dense forest. No one would have thought that an old house would be hidden in it.

Especially for these old fruit trees, it is said that if they are planted, they will lose their leaves, wither, etc., but everyone is puzzled. These fruit trees not only did not lose their leaves, but grew new leaves, and some fruit trees even bloomed. .

Could it be because of the injection?

Naturally, Li Hongbing would not tell everyone, because he put his original power into the water for watering trees.

Just as he was sending the Bengbeng convoy away, a familiar figure caught his attention.

Suddenly remembered the reminders from Liu Bo and Captain Xu.

Li Hongbing walked towards that figure, and that figure seemed to be purposely leading him away from the crowd.

Just as he was passing a bouncing car, the figure from behind put his hand on the board of the car, then quickly climbed into the cab of another bouncing car, and walked away.

In the cab, the driver named Qiangzi looked at the rearview mirror.

"I warn you, you are a grasshopper on the same rope with us now, don't play tricks."

"Brother Qiang, look at what you said, I really need to urinate." Zheng Xi responded with a flattering expression.

Looking at the bouncy car going away.

Li Hongbing walked to the place where his back was patted on the carriage, and a crumpled cigarette paper was stuck in the crack of the carriage.

Pull it out, and there are four words scrawled on it.

"Poaching hurts you."

Putting away the cigarette paper, Li Hongbing silently raised the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were icy cold.

"Uncle Hongbing, the bay is full of trees, where are the remaining trees?"

Da Kui's inquiry sounded behind him.

Li Hongbing's expression changed suddenly, and he turned around with a smile on his face.

"Plant them in the barn, and plant a few for the chicken coop by the way. I'll go and pull the ox cart over."
