After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

People are really hard to stop talking about. I was just talking about Director Niu when a convoy of tractors arrived. I could tell that many vehicles came at the same time.

Guowei went out to greet them, took a look, and said, "Sister-in-law, Director Niu and his team have arrived."

Upon seeing this, Qin Changzi ordered his men to drive their tractors forward a little to clear the way.

When Director Niu arrived, he saw that there was still a bonfire, so he called out to the back and everyone gathered around, first warming their hands and feet, and then their faces.

Xia Ran directly sent Guowei to buy buns for everyone. Jianmin used hot water to heat two pots, poured some hot water and handed them to everyone, and also gave everyone a cigarette.

While warming himself by the fire, Director Niu said: "We left home too early today. It's cold if we leave too early. Let's come back a little later tomorrow. Otherwise, it's too cold. I feel like it's going to snow. Please don't snow, or it will affect my transportation."

Xia Ran responded: "Indeed, how many trucks were brought in today?"

"24 vehicles. I got all the tractors in our township here, but it was an odd number, so I asked my brother-in-law to bring his tractor here to make it an even number, which would be more auspicious."

"You guys can do it. No one else can match your speed."

"No, we worked all night again last night."

"You should take a rest if you need one. Driving while tired is unsafe."

"We have to sleep. We have to sleep. If something happens on the way, it will be difficult to deal with. Are you still collecting blankets? I thought you had stopped collecting blankets. Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Director Qin, and the others are brothers from the same clan who came with him. Collect more. It's not easy to come back. I happened to have a car so I took them along."

"Director Qin, this is Director Niu whom I just mentioned to you."

"Hello, hello." The two men shook hands as they got to know each other.

Director Niu then asked curiously: "What did you mention about me just now?"

"You took goods worth more than 4 yuan from me. No, you took goods worth more than 5 yuan. The money is not enough, so now you are giving me apples to pay off your debt?" Xia Ran said jokingly.

"Of course I am. I'll pay you back with the apples. By the way, Boss Xia, do you still need some potato flour? Our secretary said that if you want it, we can deliver it to your door for 60 cents a pound."

"Your secretary is a good leader, and he has fought hard for the people. So, instead of charging 60 cents per pound, you can charge 70 cents per pound. The extra cent can be directly used to support the people. Low grain prices hurt farmers, and it's not easy for them either."

When Factory Manager Niu heard this, he became a little upset and asked, "Boss Xia, why can you see the hard work of ordinary people but not the hard work of us? You pushed the price down so much when selling blankets. You are such a contradictory person."

Xia Ran replied very bluntly: "Are we the same as ordinary people? We are all businessmen, small capitalists in the strict sense. We are all people who earn surplus value from others, so don't mention whether it is hard work or not. It is true that it is hard work, but it is also true that we make money. You know, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. This is inevitable and should be borne.

Think about it, we sit in the house and hire others to work for us, and we can easily earn money that others may not be able to earn in their entire lives. But what about these ordinary people? They work hard for a year and only get a few cents per pound of apples. A pound of potatoes and cabbage is about two cents. A whole truckload of them can't even make a few dollars. So, there is no comparison between the two."

Director Niu nodded and sighed, "Oh, that's true. My eldest brother's family has been busy in the orchard for a whole year. Yesterday, they picked all the good fruits and sold them for very little money. The key is that there are still a lot of fruits left that don't look very good and are not very smooth, but they are not a problem to eat. Keep them for yourself, you can't finish them at home, and sell them. Almost every family has some, but who can you sell them to? It's difficult."

"Director Niu, why do I feel like there's something else behind your words? It seems like you're trying to trick me."

Director Niu chuckled and tried to probe, "Boss Xia, since you are giving away so much, why don't you take these apples as well? We can give them to you at a lower price, how about 4 cents per pound?"

This price is definitely acceptable. We bought premium apples before, so it’s no problem to buy some ordinary apples. Xia Ran paused for a few seconds before answering: “Of course, we can. Are you in time? Do you have enough boxes? With the way you pack them now, you can’t pack many apples in one box.”

"We can ask the carton factory to produce a new batch of boxes. Just tell me whether you want them or not."

"Yes, but I can't stay in the county for a few more days, so you may not be able to make it in time."

"That's fine, then hurry up and unload the goods. I'll bring another one over this afternoon, twice a day. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the next town and call a few more trucks to bring them over together."

"Okay. But you have to ensure the quality of the apples."

"Don't worry about that. I know the severity of the items inside. Our secretary is personally watching over the packing. He has made it very clear to everyone that he will punish anyone who messes around."

"Well, that's good. It's a good cooperation. We can have a long-term cooperative relationship. As for the price, I won't bargain. Just go with the normal market price."

Xia Ran began to help inspect the goods.

Boss Qin interrupted at this moment and quietly asked Director Niu about getting the goods.

Factory Director Niu didn't waste any words. He fumbled in the inner pocket of his military coat and took out a wallet. From it, he pulled out the order form and the IOU he had written:

"Look at the quantity I bought. My wife has been selling them these days. They are selling very well. Everyone is rushing to buy them. They are cheap and of good quality. I am telling you the truth because we are not from the same place. If we were in the same place or close to each other, I would not tell you."

Boss Qin looked at it with half belief and half doubt, then he held Director Niu's order against the goods next to him and touched and tried them all with his hands.

I have basically made up my mind and will wait for Mingwazi to come back before making a decision.

Guowei came back halfway through the inspection, and with him was the owner of the bun shop, who came with buns on a pedal tricycle. He wrapped the buns in a quilt for fear that they would get cold.

When Xia Ran saw that the food had arrived, she called for a pause, "Eat the buns first, and continue after that."

Director Niu gave a thumbs up. This woman was very generous: "Boss Xia, you are so open-minded."

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone come and eat, everyone come and eat, if it's not enough, go buy more."

Some people just felt too embarrassed to take action, so Xia Ran urged them directly: "What are you standing there for? If you are not active in eating, you have a brain problem. Come and eat. It's free, don't worry."
