Chapter 52 Trade Conflict
After the thrilling plague crisis, the village seemed to have experienced a baptism. The land that was once shrouded in haze now glows with new vitality under the sunshine. Every corner of the village is filled with the atmosphere of unity and hope. There is no more fear and confusion in people's eyes, but determination and longing for the future.
In this desperate fight against the plague, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan have undoubtedly become heroes and spiritual pillars in the hearts of the villagers. Their selfless dedication and outstanding leadership skills have made every villager full of trust and gratitude towards them. This trust is not only because they led everyone to defeat the plague, but also because they let the villagers see the hope and direction of life.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan stood on the height of the village, looking at this familiar land, with a lot of emotion in their hearts. They knew that this victory was just the beginning, and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. And their responsibilities became more important with this victory. They not only have to protect the lives and safety of the villagers, but also lead everyone to a more prosperous and wealthy life.
However, the wheel of fate always turns mercilessly, and new challenges soon befell this village that had just recovered from the plague. As the village's economy continued to develop, trade with other regions became increasingly frequent. But in the process of trade, due to huge differences between the two sides on issues such as trade rules and prices, a fierce conflict gradually surfaced.
At first, these problems were just minor frictions. For example, in a certain agricultural product transaction, the farmers in the village found that the price of seeds purchased from other regions was much higher than before, and the quality was also uneven. When they sold their own food and handicrafts to merchants in other regions, they were forced to lower the price, resulting in a significant reduction in profits. Although these problems made the villagers dissatisfied, everyone still held an attitude of negotiation and hoped to resolve these differences in a peaceful way.
However, as time went on, the problem became more and more serious. Merchants from other regions began to unite and formulate a series of trade rules that were unfavorable to the village. They required that the village's goods must be traded at the price and quantity they stipulated, otherwise they would refuse to buy. At the same time, they also set up various trade barriers for the village's goods, increased tariffs and inspection standards, making it difficult for the village's goods to enter their market.
Faced with this situation, the villagers were angry. They asked Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan to take action to protect the interests of the village. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew that this trade conflict was not only related to the economic development of the village, but also to the lives and future of the villagers. So they decided to stand up and fight for the interests of the village.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan first held an emergency meeting in the village, inviting the village elders, businessmen, and farmers to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere was lively.
"These businessmen are simply going too far! We work so hard to produce the goods, but they are lowering the prices like this. Isn't this clearly bullying us?" said a farmer representative angrily.
"Yes, and the trade rules they set are completely unfair. We can't just let them control us," a businessman echoed.
Gu Qianning listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and then said, "Don't get excited. This trade conflict has indeed brought us great difficulties, but we can't act impulsively. We need to develop a reasonable strategy to resolve these issues through consultation and negotiation."
Chu Mohan also nodded and said, "Qian Ning is right. We must unite and face this challenge together. I suggest that we first send representatives to make preliminary contacts with merchants from other regions to understand their ideas and demands, and then formulate a specific negotiation plan."
Everyone agreed, so Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan selected several experienced and eloquent villagers as representatives and prepared to go to other areas for negotiations.
Before departure, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan conducted detailed training for the representatives, telling them what to pay attention to and what strategies to use in negotiations. They also prepared a large amount of information and data to prove the value and advantages of the village's goods.
The representatives took the villagers' expectations and embarked on a challenging negotiation journey. They first came to the nearest town and contacted the Merchants Association there. The president of the Merchants Association was a shrewd businessman named Zhao Sihai, who was not enthusiastic about the representatives' arrival and instead put on a condescending attitude.
"If your village's products want to enter our market, they must follow our rules. Otherwise, there's no point in talking." Zhao Sihai said coldly.
The representatives were not intimidated by his attitude. They argued with reason and explained the village's position and demands to Zhao Sihai.
"Chairman Zhao, the products of our village have always been popular among consumers for their good quality and reasonable prices. The trade rules and prices you set are completely unreasonable and have seriously damaged our interests. We hope to find a solution acceptable to both parties through equal consultation," said a representative.
Zhao Sihai sneered after hearing this: "Equal negotiation? Do you think you have the qualifications? Now it is you who are begging us to buy your products, not us begging you."
The negotiations reached a deadlock. The representatives had no choice but to return to the village temporarily and report the progress of the negotiations to Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were very angry after listening to the representatives' reports. But they knew that anger could not solve the problem, and they had to think calmly and find new breakthroughs.
After some research, they decided to change their strategy. They decided to go to various regions in person and conduct extensive contacts and consultations with local government officials and businessmen. They hoped to resolve this trade conflict through the power of the government.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan first came to the county town and met with the county magistrate, who welcomed them and listened to their demands.
"Mr. County Magistrate, the trade conflicts between our village and other regions have seriously affected the village's economic development and the lives of the villagers. We hope that you can come forward to coordinate and formulate fair and reasonable trade rules to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests." Gu Qianning said.
The county magistrate frowned and said, "This matter is indeed rather tricky. However, I will do my best to coordinate the interests of all parties and strive to find a solution. However, you also have to make some concessions. After all, trade is a matter for both parties and requires mutual understanding and support."
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan expressed their willingness to make concessions within a reasonable range as long as the trade conflict can be resolved and fair trade can be achieved.
After leaving the county, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan went to other areas without stopping. They visited business leaders and government officials one by one and had arduous negotiations and consultations with them. In the process, they encountered countless difficulties and setbacks, and sometimes even received threats and intimidation from the other side. However, they never gave up and insisted on working for the interests of the village.
After long and arduous consultations and negotiations, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement. Merchants from other regions agreed to adjust trade rules and prices and remove some unreasonable trade barriers. The goods from the village can also enter their market at fair and reasonable prices and quantities.
The day the agreement was reached, the whole village was in an uproar. The villagers cheered and rejoiced. They knew how much effort and sweat Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan had put into this agreement. They came to Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan one after another to express their gratitude and respect to them.
"Ms. Gu, Mr. Chu, if it weren't for you, we don't know what our lives would be like. You are the great benefactors of our village!" a villager said excitedly.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan looked at everyone with a smile, their hearts filled with relief and pride.
"This is what we should do. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome," said Gu Qianning.
