Chapter 984 Why
As soon as Chi Rengang came, Pan Wenji seemed to have concerns about what he said. Zhu Daidong could understand that this was the difference between the county official and the current management. Generally speaking, with the image of Chi Rengang, it should be easy to get along with the grassroots masses. He was wearing a sweater inside and a suit outside, which was a little out of tune. He also wore a cotton-padded coat outside, which was a little nondescript.
"Gang County Magistrate, don't drink any more wine. Let's go to see the orchard in Hongxing Village."
Zhu Daidong said that as soon as Chi Rengang came, Pan Wenji immediately dared not sit on the table again. Since you can't hear [real] things on the table, it's better to have a look on the spot.
Zhu Daidong didn't give Chi Rengang a chance to choose at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stood up. Chi Rengang could only get up quickly. At this time, the bottle of Maotai had just been poured, but Zhu Daidong didn't drink a sip.
As soon as Zhu Daidong walked out, Pan Wenji immediately trotted to lead the way. When he introduced Zhu Daidong just now, he had already talked about the special planting of Hongxing Village. Since Zhu Daidong's identity was known in advance, and the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture in the town was also there. Of course, it was impossible for Pan Wenji to pour bitter water in front of Zhu Daidong. But the silence in his eyes, seeing Zhu Daidong's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, completely fell into Zhu Daidong's eyes.
At this time, Chi Rengang is accompanying Zhu Daidong. There are some questions that Pan Wenji is difficult to answer. Chi Rengang must make a positive response. Zhu Daidong only cares about the two wells. Are the picked apples further processed? Second, what is the net income of fruit farmers in Gaotang County in 1998, or how much is the income per mu of apple?
These two questions are difficult for Chi Rengang to answer. Last year, the main problem in Gaotang County was that the sales were stagnant. For processing, aren't the apples produced in all parts of the country the same? Buy packaging boxes from the county, pack them yourself, and sell them by yourself.
"We only carried out simple processing of apples. Last year, because of the unsalable apples, the income of fruit farmers was close to zero." Chi Rengang's voice is getting lighter and lighter. If he were replaced by any other city leader, he would not be so embarrassed. But in front of him is the one who led Chu City to create an economic miracle, relying on the successful restructuring of state-owned enterprises and the rapid growth of Chuchang Technology Company. The growth rate of the GOP in Chu City is more than 40% in one fell swoop. In the face of such a strong economic man, he really has no confidence.
"Close to zero? Gaotang County is afraid that the situation will be forced. Have you ever thought of any way to improve this situation this year? Zhu Daidong looked at the fruit forest in the distance, sighed and said.
"Mayor Zhu, I haven't done my job well. I have to review it with the municipal party committee and the municipal government." Chi Rengang rarely blushed. In front of Zhu Daidong, he said that he was not confident in economic development.
"If you don't do anything at work, it's nothing to have no light on the face of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, but it's hard for the fruit farmers in the county. This year, they have a hard time." Zhu Daidong sighed gently and got into the orchard. The piece he saw was thousands of mu on the back mountain of Pan Wenji's house. People walked inside and felt that there were fruit trees everywhere.
"In view of this year's situation, the county has decided after research that we should actively do a good job in sales tomorrow. We used to help fruit farmers grow apples, but now we also have to help fruit farmers sell apples. Only by letting their banknotes be put into bags can the county's work in place... Chi Rengang said sincerely.
"Sales work is really important. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and there will be another Apple's peak sales season. What can the county do to deal with this?" Zhu Daidong asked immediately, [Zhong] Chinese people like to be lively and celebrate the Spring Festival. Even those who usually save money will spend a lot of money, and Apple's sales can catch up with a good time.
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult this year. At this time, dealers in various places have already prepared enough goods." Chi Rengang frowned. Zhu Daidong did not criticize you, but his every question can make you feel ashamed. Now he regrets that he sticks Zhu Daidong's cold buttocks with a hot face.
In this kind of weather, it was so cold at home that my toes were gone. I just came on a motorcycle, and the wind was like a knife scratching my face. Although Chi Rengang was also from the countryside, he never touched a hoe in the past 20 years since he started working.
"What should we do with the mountains of apples in each family this year?" Zhu Daidong glanced at Chi Rengang and asked.
"The county will find every means to solve the problems of fruit farmers... Chi Rengang gritted his teeth gently and said that he had heard of Zhu Daidong's style of doing things. As long as he assigned the task, he would ask again in the future. He would not be relieved until he saw the following implementation of the policy.
Zhu Daidong didn't answer again, because he had a tinnitus after listening to it. Sometimes people understand too much, but it's actually not a good thing. Occasionally, it's rare to be confused. In fact, it's also a good thing.
Zhu Daidong looked east and west in the orchard. Suddenly, he seemed to have found his destination and walked quickly in one direction. Several people who accompanied Zhu Daidong also accelerated their pace. After walking for about ten minutes, Zhu Daidong stopped and several people appeared in front of him.
From the content of their conversation that I have heard for a long time, this is a family in Hongxing Village. The father took two adult sons. They entered the garden today. They just wanted to do one thing and cut down these fruit trees that made them heartbroken.
This plan... was proposed by the eldest son and received strong support from his father, but the youngest son is still hesitant. He is still working as a brother and father. This fruit tree is not a rice in the field, and can be harvested twice a year. If the fruit tree is cut down this year and you want to plant it again in the future, it will take a few years for this tree alone.
"How are you?" Zhu Daidong spoke authentic Tang dialect, greeted them with a smile, walked over, and immediately handed a cigarette to their families.
Rural people are simple. If others respect them one foot, they will respect others. After receiving the high-end cigarettes in Zhu Daidong's hand, even if they didn't know each other, the three of them had a simple smile. Zhu Daidong then took out the fire engine from his body, lit them, and asked, "What are you going to do with axes and saws?"
"We want to get rid of all this fruit tree!" The eldest son slapped a fruit tree in front of him and said resentfully. Originally, the family had planned it for a long time. This year's harvest is good. When the apples are sold and exchanged for money, I will give him a marriage. In fact, the wedding has been decided for a long time. As long as you prepare the gift money, you can marry the bride.
But the players never expected that although there was a good harvest, Apple's purchase price was more than 30% lower than last year. Moreover, this year's apple vendors can't transport all the apples in Gaotang County in one go. This year, not only the apple harvest in Gaotang County, but also in other places, and the fruit market is saturated all of a sudden. Now in the homes of villagers in Hongxing Village, who can't sell thousands of kilograms of apples?
These apples will not rot at home for the time being, but what about after the New Year? After the beginning of spring, you can only watch these apples rot and deteriorate, and everyone's heart will hurt.
Chi Rengang, standing next to Zhu Daidong, was shocked. The whole county planted apples. This is a resolution made by the county party committee and county government. Each township must complete 50,000 mu, and the whole county must complete a total of 900,000 mu. This is a project to benefit agriculture, but also a political task. Now that the fruit tree has just formed, it is the time to produce benefits. How can the tree be cut down? Can they do this?
Chi Rengang was just about to take a step forward and question these people, but Zhu Daidong in front of him seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it hard to stop his questioning.
"Why did you saw it off?" Zhu Daidong asked, he suddenly remembered five reasons, the root of many things, only by asking more why can he find the reason.
"You can't make money by growing apples." The eldest son took a deep breath, and then spit it out heavily, as if to spit out all the suffocation.
"Why can't you make money?" Zhu Daidong asked again that only if they knew that the root cause of the matter was not on the fruit tree would they give up such behavior.
"This year's apple harvest is bumper, and the quantity is large and the price is low. I heard that the county will expand the planting area next year. If you don't cut down the trees now, it will even be a problem to eat next year." The old father sighed and said. If there is no way, who would want to cut down the hard-grown fruit trees? Once upon a time, these fruit trees were the hope for their family to get rich, and were the guarantee for their two sons to marry and have children.
"Why does the price fall when Apple has a bumper harvest?" Zhu Daidong asked again.
"The market hasn't been opened." The youngest son suddenly said.
"Yes, in fact, you didn't make any money, which has nothing to do with fruit trees. If the problem of marketing is solved, I believe that the more apples you grow, the more money you will make. Zhu Daidong said happily that it was much better to say such words from the other party's mouth than to persuade him bitterly.
"But how can the market be opened all of a sudden?" The eldest son frowned and asked.
"Why can't the market be opened?" Zhu Daidong asked.
"That's because we didn't go out for supply and marketing at all. We all rely on those wholesalers to come to us by ourselves. They are all in the same group. When we see our fruit harvest, we try our best to suppress the price, and the quality is not good this year. Don't want it. It's really annoying." The youngest son said angrily.
"It seems that the fundamental problem is still to have our own sales channels, but the people who grow apples in the country are not just our family. Why should we compete with others?" Zhu Daidong asked again.
This problem makes everyone fall into meditation. The apple cultivation in Gaotang County blindly pursues the scale effect, and there are no special requirements for variety and quality. Moreover, the planting technology of fruit farmers in Gaotang County is not very scientific, which makes the apples produced in Gaotang County no better in quality than those produced in other places. Therefore, last year, price became their only advantage. In order to sell, they can only make less money, not make money, or even lose money.
