204 Collaboration Talks
After Chu Ning said this, the entire office instantly quietened.
The village chief had been about to pass Chu Ning a cup of tea, but his arm was suspended in mid-air, the smile on his face appearing to freeze.
He had thought of many possibilities. This could be a relative or child of a family in the village. After all, he had only been here for less than two years, so it was normal for there to be many unfamiliar faces.
However, the words coming out of the young girl’s mouth made him unable to believe it. He subconsciously thought that Chu Ning was joking with him.
“Young lady, I think you should be around twenty years old. At this age, you’re like the sun rising in the morning, full of vitality. It’s good for young people to have ideals, but you should be more down-to-earth and conscientiously do every little thing.”
Village Chief Wen said patiently with the tone of someone who had been through this. In his opinion, Chu Ning’s idea was somewhat unrealistic.
He placed the tea in front of Chu Ning, still smiling. As for what Chu Ning said about building a complete agricultural product industry chain here, he merely treated it as a joke.
“This young lady is really interesting,” Wen An thought.
“No, I’m not kidding you. You shouldn’t be much older than me. Moreover, if I didn’t plan beforehand or have full confidence, I wouldn’t have wasted your time.”
Chu Ning also appeared very calm. She knew that anyone who heard her words for the first time would have a skeptical attitude. However, only she knew that once the Qinghe village chief agreed to collaborate with her, this would completely change the history of Qinghe village. It would undergo an earth-shattering change because of her existence!
“So, which company sent you here as a salesperson?” After hearing Chu Ning’s answer, Wen An’s attitude changed.
“No, I’m only here to discuss a collaboration with you as a representative of myself.” Village Chief Wen’s words made Chu Ning feel a little surprised.
“Young lady, do you know how many companies in M City wanted to profit from Qinghe village before you? But without exception, I rejected all of them. I am a graduate of the financial management industry. So I’m very clear about the intentions of these companies. It sounds very nice on the surface, but in reality, the biggest beneficiaries are still them. The residents of Qinghe village are still unable to escape the consequences of being exploited.”
Wen An lamented. “I, too, want to lead them to acquire wealth, but some of the terms and practices of these enterprises are really unacceptable to me. The premise of collaboration is based on equality between both parties.”
Wen An did not know why he would talk about this with a young girl he had just met. He had been keeping these troubles to himself, and it was not easy to talk about such things with anyone.
However, Chu Ning could hear something different from Wen An’s words. She was now clear that she had to show some sincerity if she wanted to collaborate!
Wen An did not take Chu Ning’s words to heart. To him, the planning and development of Qinghe village still had a long way to go.
“Village Chief Wen, you may think that I’m joking with you, but I’m not that idle. My time is also very precious. If it’s possible, I’m willing to provide financial support. Of course, before I came here, I also looked up some information about Qinghe village. What I mean is that I’m willing to provide for and solve the employment problem of Qinghe village for you. This way, it will be a long-term and stable collaborative relationship.”
Chu Ning said faintly. She knew that her words would definitely make Wen An restless, because this problem was exactly what he, the village chief, was currently eager to solve. The per capita income of Qinghe village was very low. If they were to engage in agriculture only by relying on individual households, there were too many elements of uncertainty. The income of these people simply could not be effectively guaranteed.
In the past, some of the companies that came to Qinghe to talk about collaboration only had their eyes on the agricultural products provided here. The employment and income of these residents were not within their consideration.
Wen An looked at Chu Ning with a more serious and solemn gaze.
“This young lady is not as simple as she looks!” Wen An understood that Chu Ning was very well prepared.
A person who was able to grasp the problem that he wanted to urgently solve in just a few sentences was worthy of his attention.
“It seems that you have fully understood the situation here before you came.” Wen An adjusted his glasses. Although he was very moved by what Chu Ning had said, he could not really believe it based on the other party’s one-sided words.
