Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 485: Vice Mayor Wu's Dilemma

As night falls, the stars twinkle and the moonlight shines on the quiet little village.

When County Mayor Wang and Deputy Secretary Wu arrived at Gu Guoqing's home, a warm and lively dinner officially kicked off.

Wang Xianye stood in front of the grill, skillfully turning the skewers, emitting an enticing aroma. His barbecue skills were sophisticated, and each skewer was grilled to a golden brown, making people salivate.

The guests tasted the delicious food baked by Wang Xianye and praised it highly.

These skewers are tender and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning, leaving a lasting aftertaste. Everyone was immersed in the enjoyment of the food, with laughter and joy.

On this beautiful summer night, the guests savored the delicious skewers and felt the warmth of friendship and family affection. They toasted and drank to celebrate this special moment together.

Even County Magistrate Wang and Deputy Mayor Wu couldn't help themselves and had a few drinks!

However, after Deputy Mayor Wu had just drunk two glasses of wine, the glass in his hand was quietly taken away by Wu Qingmeng and thrown aside. Deputy Mayor Wu was a little embarrassed, but he could only smile helplessly and didn't say much.

Of course, only the two of them knew about this scene, and the other guests did not notice what was happening.

……

After eating and drinking, Deputy Mayor Wu sat next to Gu Chang and whispered, "Xiao Chang, there is something I may have to trouble you with!"

Gu Chang looked at him curiously and asked, "If you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can!"

Deputy Mayor Wu sighed and said, "It's like this. Last year, I presided over two poverty alleviation projects in Lingxi Town."

Gu Chang nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

Deputy Mayor Wu continued, “The people in the town grow a lot of peanuts and soybeans!”

Gu Chang smiled and said, "That's good, it shows everyone is working hard!"

Deputy Mayor Wu shook his head helplessly and said, "Looking at the growth of peanuts and soybeans this year, the yield must be very good!"

Gu Chang asked doubtfully: "High output, isn't that a good thing?"

Deputy Mayor Wu frowned and said, "It's a good thing, but there is a problem with the sales!"

Gu Chang was a little surprised and asked, "Why is there a sales problem?"

Deputy Mayor Wu explained: "Originally, the planting area was not this large!"

Gu Chang nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Deputy Mayor Wu went on to say: “Later, I heard that it was a poverty alleviation project of the city, and many more villagers followed suit and started planting!”

"Originally, we had signed a purchase contract with the oil mill for this batch of soybeans and peanuts, and they were to be used to produce peanut oil and soybean oil! But now, the output has far exceeded the purchase volume in the contract!"

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

"Can't we talk to the oil press and ask them to collect more?" Wu Qingmeng next to him couldn't help but say.

"I've already negotiated with the oil mill, and they agreed to charge 30% more!"

Deputy Mayor Wu sighed and continued, "This is already their limit. If there is any more, they really can't eat it!"

"First, even if their machines run continuously, they can't squeeze out so much raw material! Even if they squeeze it into oil, they may not be able to sell it!"

Everyone felt helpless. Who could have thought that the output this year would be so high?

Moreover, this is the first year of planting. If it is like this every year, won’t more food be wasted?

“We have also contacted other manufacturers and buyers, but they can’t take in so much!”

Deputy Mayor Wu frowned and looked at Gu Chang helplessly. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, as if these problems had troubled him for a long time.

“That’s why I came to you for help. I hope you can help me sell some in your live broadcast room or offline.”

Deputy Mayor Wu continued, with a hint of expectation in his tone. He knew that Gu Chang had extensive connections and strong influence, and if he could get her help, he might be able to solve the problem at hand.

After hearing this, Gu Chang nodded slightly.

"No problem, we will definitely help with the poverty alleviation project if we can!"

Gu Chang answered firmly.

Then, Gu Chang raised a key question: "What is the quality of your soybeans and peanuts?"

This issue is crucial because only by ensuring the quality of products can we win the trust of consumers and promote sales.

Deputy Mayor Wu immediately responded: "The quality is excellent. We will definitely provide you with the best quality goods. You can rest assured!"

He patted his chest and made the promise, his face brimming with confidence. He had full confidence in the quality of local agricultural products and believed that they would be able to meet market demand.

"As long as there is no problem with the goods, there will definitely be no problem for us too!" Gu Chang said with a smile.

"Whether it's Boss Qi's Shengye Supermarket or my live broadcast room, they can help sell some."

"But I hope you can give us a discount on the initial price so that we can promote it at a low price."

It’s not that Gu Chang deliberately lowered the price, other products were like this at the beginning!
