Chapter 962: Massive Expansion
After cleaning up those leading figures on the Internet, the overall public opinion environment has improved a lot, and the only ones left are those forces headquartered overseas.
However, without the help of the navy and leeches, they have nowhere to hide and cannot cause much trouble. As soon as they appear, they will be blocked immediately.
Anyway, Zhang Tuohai has already controlled Bluebird Company's control over Chicken Roll in China, and he can do whatever he wants with this power.
No, it should be that we can finally become an important force in safeguarding freedom of speech.
After cleaning out these parasites, Zhang Tuohai can finally let go and advance his plan.
Zhang Tuohai called together representatives of farmers from all over the country to hold a meeting to discuss how to jointly deal with the problem of foreign distributors.
Zhang Tuohai announced at the conference that all previous unequal agreements signed between farmers and foreign distributors, especially those represented by United Fruit, were invalid. Farmers could now freely choose to plant the crops they wanted to plant, or they could sign unified purchase and marketing agreements with agricultural associations to plant crops designated by the agricultural associations, which would then be sold uniformly by the agricultural associations.
The advantage of doing this is that, on the one hand, agricultural associations can balance the output of various crops, so that not everyone will rush to plant a certain crop, causing the price to plummet, while another crop will have a large-scale reduction in production, affecting the supply.
The second benefit is that with unified sales by the agricultural association, farmers do not need to engage in price wars, which is conducive to increasing the prices of agricultural products and allowing farmers to make more money.
In addition, Zhang Tuohai also announced that he would provide an interest-free loan to all farmers in need so that they can peacefully transition from avocado cultivation to vegetable, grain and cash crop cultivation.
Farmers who have been dealing with farms and ranches all their lives can naturally understand the pros and cons.
In the past, they grew crops themselves, bearing all the risks from planting to harvesting. If they encountered a natural disaster or a poor harvest, they might be pushed into bankruptcy.
Even if you make it to the harvest season, it still depends on how much of that type of crop is produced that year. If everyone plants it together, they will face a situation where prices are suppressed. It is very likely that you will work hard for a year and get nothing, or even lose money.
With the unified purchase and marketing agreement, at least they don’t have to worry about planting and sales. They can also grow their own vegetables and no longer have to buy those expensive and unpalatable industrial foods.
Thinking of the beautiful future, the farmers present were all excited and joined the Agricultural Association one after another. They finalized the unified purchase and marketing . As for what to plant specifically, the Agricultural Association needed to give a rough share and then discuss it with the farmers. Zhang Tuohai didn't need to do these details himself, as someone else would naturally be responsible for it.
Although he has decided to completely eradicate the avocado cancer from the land of Chicken Roll Country, Zhang Tuohai does not intend to destroy the avocado forest now. After all, the harvest season is coming soon, and the money still needs to be earned and cannot be wasted.
Moreover, Zhang Tuohai had also decided to use the last batch of avocados as a gimmick to make a fortune.
You know, this is the last batch of avocados, it’s a limited edition, and it’s out of print and will never be reproduced. Don’t you want to get one?
I believe many people will pay for it.
As for the price, a out-of-print item naturally has to have a price that suits its price.
Zhang Tuohai’s psychological price is twice the original market price.
What? Don't accept?
Sorry, all the avocados in the Chicken Roll Country are under the control of the Agricultural Association. Without the nod from the Agricultural Association, not a single avocado can leave the Chicken Roll Country.
Bypassing agricultural associations and farmers to purchase privately?
Sorry, no one will give up the benefits that are about to be obtained.
Moreover, Zhang Tuohai's iron-blooded methods of dealing with warlords and gangs also made the farmers feel in awe and they dared not do such things that were lip service and insincere.
As for the contract?
That was promised by the previous president. What does it have to do with me? I should go after whoever signed it.
This is the advantage of a democratic country. If there is any blame, just put it on the previous president.
Zhang Tuohai's actions made United Fruit very angry.
They have always been the ones to take advantage of others, so when will it be others' turn to say no to them?
You dare to raise the price?
If others follow suit, how can they continue to suck blood from the land of Latin America?
United Fruit publicly stated that if the agricultural association of Chicken Roll Country dared not sell them avocados at the previous purchase price, it would lock down Chicken Roll Country's agriculture and would not sell even a single tomato or lettuce to Chicken Roll Country.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Zhang Tuohai's face was full of joy.
It was the United Fruit Industry that used massive subsidies and large amounts of cheap fruits and vegetables to defeat the local agriculture of the Chicken Roll Country, leaving the farmers heavily in debt and eventually forcing them to sign an avocado planting agreement with them.
After the local agriculture of the Chicken Roll Country was completely destroyed, the prices of those cheap fruits and vegetables suddenly skyrocketed. The market price increased several times, and was much more expensive than the original market price. Ordinary fruits and vegetables were forced to become luxury goods, and the prices were prohibitive for ordinary people.
Then, space was given to cheap industrial fast food. A large amount of cheap industrial fast food high in sugar and oil squeezed out the space vacated by fruits and vegetables, becoming the main food for the Chinese people. It is also the culprit for the obesity rate of the Chinese people as high as 70%.
Now that United Fruit and Industrial Foods are willing to withdraw on their own, I wonder how much trouble this will save Zhang Tuohai.
In a way, this has promoted the development of agricultural associations from an external force, making farmers realize the importance of agricultural associations and self-reliance, and becoming increasingly dependent on agricultural associations.
As for whether the farmers will be completely tied to the agricultural association and become a new monopoly organization, that is not a problem Zhang Tuohai needs to consider.
As long as there is continuous development, 99 percent of the problems can be solved. What he needs now is a force that can support him in competing with those big capitals, and the Agricultural Association is the most convenient one.
The rest, just leave it to time.
The Chicken Roll Country has to walk its own path and cannot always rely on Zhang Tuohai.
Faced with the threat from United Fruit, Zhang Tuohai did not show any weakness and immediately issued a statement, hoping that United Fruit would keep its promise and immediately cut off the supply of agricultural products to Chicken Roll Country, for which Chicken Roll Country would be grateful.
Then, Zhang Tuohai’s statement was highly praised and topped the hot search list, causing an uproar in public opinion again.
