Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 383 Chain Plan

"Oh?"

When Zheng Kaitao heard what Sun Maocai said, he raised his eyebrows, then asked with some disapproval: "What method?"

"Is such that!"

Sun Maocai was delighted when he heard this, and then he quickly said: "Although Comrade Li Guoqiang has returned to Sijiucheng, there are still many workers in our brigade's bee farm.

During this period, they have learned a lot from Comrade Li Guoqiang how to raise bees, and they must know how to go into the mountains and dig hives.

As long as you can help me get promoted to the county, I will help you persuade them and help dig beehives in the mountains, what do you think? "

"It's done!"

When Zheng Kaitao heard this suggestion, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded quickly and said, "I promise you, as long as you can get them to help dig enough beehives, I will help you operate it well and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

"Got it!"

When Sun Maocai saw that Zheng Kaitao had agreed to make the deal with him, he immediately agreed with a look of surprise on his face, and then hurriedly called Ma Guifang, the wife of their Sun family, over.

The main reason why he had this idea was that he was stimulated by Xu Guangfu.

It can be said that he and Xu Guangfu have been fighting for most of their lives. Sometimes, he even dreams of stepping on Xu Guangfu.

However, due to the disadvantage in population size and missing out on the lucky star Li Guoqiang, he is still a branch secretary.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw Xu Guangfu coming back from the county a few days ago with his condescending attitude, he felt very angry and had no way to express it.

Now, after knowing that Zheng Kaitao, the director with a powerful background, wanted people to help dig beehives in the mountains, he immediately had the idea of ​​asking Zheng Kaitao for help.

The bargaining chips, of course, are the workers at the apiary.

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?"

When Ma Guifang saw Sun Maocai suddenly coming to her house and specifically looking for her, she couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Guifang!"

Sun Maocai heard this and said directly without hiding anything: "I need your help to do something. You know Director Zheng Kaitao! He needs someone to help him dig beehives in the mountains. I recommended the workers from your bee farm to him.

Anyway, you don’t have much to do in your daily life, so just treat it as an opportunity to practice your beekeeping skills.

Go and tell the others later, and I will have the militia escort you into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"that."

When Ma Guifang heard what Sun Maocai said, her heart suddenly tightened, and then she said with embarrassment: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you do this, but before Qiangzi left, he repeatedly told us to take good care of the apiary.

Now you ask us all to go into the mountains to dig up beehives, what if something goes wrong with the apiary?"

After hearing this, Sun Maocai suddenly felt a little hesitant.

Although he really wanted to make this deal with Zheng Kaitao and ask Zheng Kaitao to help him get a job in the county, but compared with the profits that the apiary could bring and the anger of the villagers when there were problems with the apiary, he found it difficult to decide which was more important.

"Uncle!"

Seeing that Sun Maocai didn't say anything, Ma Guifang rolled her eyes, then hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I heard before that Qiangzi and Director Zheng don't seem to get along.

If Qiangzi knew about this, aren't you worried that he would quit? "

After saying this, she looked at Sun Maocai with some worry, fearing that Sun Maocai would insist on having his own way and ask her to take her sisters into the mountains to dig beehives.

In fact, she was not afraid of hard work, but she was mainly afraid of something going wrong.

After all, they are all women, the backbone of a family. If something unexpected happens to them, such as breaking a leg or being bitten to death by wild beasts in the mountains, it would be a big trouble.

At that time, Sun Maocai could just push the blame directly onto her and make her the sinner.

Therefore, if possible, she really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

If it weren't for the fact that she was able to enter the apiary because of Sun Maocai's help, and if it weren't for the fact that Sun Maocai himself was the Sun family's backer, she would have wanted to kick Sun Maocai out directly.

At this moment, when Sun Maocai heard what Ma Guifang said, his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

Because based on his understanding of Li Guoqiang, he knew that if something went wrong with the apiary because of this incident, there was a great possibility that Li Guoqiang would quit.

By then, even if he could be successfully promoted to be an official in the county, those angry villagers would probably dig up his ancestral graves.

If that happens, how will he have the face to face his ancestors in the future?

Is that all there is to it?
If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to catch up with Xu Guangfu again, let alone step on Xu Guangfu under his feet.

Thinking of this, he felt unwilling in his heart, and then an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a solution.

"Guifang, I understand what you said, but you have to know that Director Zheng is a county leader, and it is said that he has a brother-in-law who is a city leader. We can't afford to offend him.

So, in my opinion, you should first discuss with the workers below to see how many manpower you can spare.

Even if we are just dealing with it, we can't let anyone find fault with us, you know?"

"Row!"

After hearing what Sun Maocai had said, Ma Guifang could only nod and agree, "Then I'll go to the bee farm and discuss it with them."

"Ok!"

When Sun Maocai heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go with you. We can go to the second bee farm to talk to Xiuqin about this matter!"

Originally, he wanted Ma Guifang to take the workers of the First Bee Farm into the mountains to dig up beehives. In that way, he could control the situation to the greatest extent.

However, since it is impossible to get everyone to go together, he can only choose to select some people from each of the two apiaries.

In short, even if he couldn't complete the deal with Zheng Kaitao, he had to let Zheng Kaitao see his sincerity first, so as to get in touch with Zheng Kaitao and find ways to get promoted in the future.

In addition, he also wanted to see if Ma Guifang and other workers in the bee farm had the ability to dig honeycombs from the mountains. If they could, he could let Ma Guifang and others teach beekeeping techniques to the Sun family from next year, so that they could master the way to make money from beekeeping.

By then, no matter what changes occurred in the social environment in the future, as long as there were still flowers, plants and trees in the mountains, the people in the Sun family would not have to worry about having no food to eat.

And he is worthy of the identity of the leader of the Sun family.

Soon, he and Ma Guifang went to the No. 1 apiary together. He did not stay there for long. He just repeated what he had said to Ma Guifang before in front of everyone, and described his selfish desire as a task assigned by his superiors.

After saying that, he left Ma Guifang there to discuss with others, and then hurried to the second apiary.

"Uncle Maocai, why are you here?"

When Li Xiuqin saw Sun Maocai suddenly running to the second apiary, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Normally, Sun Maocai would stay still if possible, so why would he be willing to run so far here?
You know, this second apiary is four or five miles away from the village!
Soon, she realized that Sun Maocai must have come here for something, and it must be something very difficult to deal with.

"that."

Sun Maocai looked at Li Xiuqin, who looked shrewd, and after a moment's hesitation, he said softly, "Xiuqin! Just now, Director Zheng Kaitao of the county issued a task to our brigade, asking the workers in our bee farm to take some people out and go into the mountains to help him dig beehives.

I know this is not a easy matter, but a higher-ranking official can crush people, and he has a brother-in-law who is a city leader, so it is difficult to refuse his request.

You should talk to the people below now and assign half of them to do this task!"

"no!"

Li Xiuqin's eyes flickered after hearing this, and then she asked suspiciously, "I remember my dad told us not to get involved in the affairs of the county-run bee farm, and before Qiangzi left, he specifically told us to take good care of the bee farm.

This requires us to assign half of our people to go into the mountains to dig beehives. What if something goes wrong?
Also, if we can really dig up beehives from the mountains, our apiary won’t be enough for them, so how can we give them for free?”

Sun Maocai: “.”

Faced with Li Xiuqin's series of questions, Sun Maocai was speechless for a moment.

This was also the main reason why he did not intend to let Li Xiuqin participate from the beginning.

After all, Li Xiuqin is not like other ordinary villagers. Standing behind her are not only the deputy director Xu Guangfu, but also the production team leader Xu Yuliang. She is not afraid of him, the branch secretary, at all.

To put it bluntly, Li Xiuqin told him so much just to give him face. If she really didn't give him face, she would have just shown him the back of her head.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation before coming here, so he was not too panicked.

Soon, he calmed down, then laughed and said, "I understand what you said, but they have already found our team, we can't just turn against them!

In my opinion, we should just do it as a show first.

Anyway, you will have to go into the mountains to practice how to dig beehives when the time comes, so you can take this opportunity to practice.

You don't want Qiangzi to come back next time and see that you haven't made any progress, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuqin's face changed immediately, and then she hesitated for a while, and finally she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go tell them now."

After saying that, she ignored the sudden smile on Sun Maocai's face and quickly turned around and ran into the workers' room.

From this we can also see how important Li Guoqiang is in her heart.

Although Li Guoqiang has become her brother-in-law now, she doesn't have to worry about being kicked out of the apiary even if she performs poorly. But if that happens, she will not be able to face getting benefits from Li Guoqiang anymore.

Not to mention, there are so many eyes in the village staring at her, all trying to snatch her position as the director.

Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't perform worse than others.

Just as she was speaking seriously to her subordinates about the necessity and importance of going into the mountains to dig beehives, Sun Maocai couldn't help but feel a sense of complacency in his heart.

Even though Li Xiuqin just rattled off a bunch of issues and even brought up Li Guoqiang to put pressure on him, she still seemed a little naive to deal with him.

He just casually used a trick to counterattack the opponent in his own way, which made Li Xiuqin lose her composure.

He was not bragging. If it weren't for the fact that the Xu family had a larger population in the village, he would have probably become the team leader long ago.

However, he no longer holds the position of team leader in his heart. At least he wants to be the deputy director of a bureau in the county.

Otherwise, he would not be willing to die.

Not long after, Li Xiuqin discussed with her subordinates about taking turns to go into the mountains to practice digging beehives, and then handed the list to Sun Maocai.

After Sun Maocai got the list, he didn't waste any time and hurried back to the First Bee Farm.

At this time, Ma Guifang had already finalized the list. When she saw Sun Maocai coming back, she immediately gave it to him and reminded him, "Uncle, I told them that we are just pretending to show it to Director Zheng. You can't really let us go into the mountains to dig beehives for him!"

"Do not worry!"

Sun Maocai reached out to take the list, then replied casually and turned around and ran back to the village.

As for whether to let Ma Guifang and others enter the mountains at that time, that is not up to Ma Guifang and others.

Moreover, even if Ma Guifang and others said that he was not trustworthy, he could also put the blame on Li Xiuqin, saying that Li Xiuqin wanted to take this opportunity to go into the mountains to practice digging beehives.

He believed that Ma Guifang and others would not give in after hearing this.

This series of operations can be described in one word: coercion and inducement.

Fortunately, he had followed a teacher before and read some of Sun Tzu's Art of War, so he knew what a chain of tactics was.

Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to get this matter done and complete the transaction with Zheng Kaitao!

Soon, he returned to his home and found Zheng Kaitao, who was sitting on the kang with his wife, drinking, chatting and smoking a pipe. He put the two lists in front of Zheng Kaitao and said confidently, "Director Zheng, I have arranged for these workers to help you. Starting tomorrow, they will go into the mountains to help you dig beehives."

"oh?!"

Zheng Kaitao was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he picked up the list and started reading it with surprise on his face.

In fact, he didn't have much hope for Sun Maocai at first. After all, the workers in the apiary were not stupid. How could they help him risk going into the mountains to dig beehives for no benefit?
He didn't expect that Sun Maocai actually did it for him, which gave him a big surprise.
