Chapter 932: 914. Publish a Book
After hearing what Teacher Tang said, even if they didn’t fully understand, everyone looked invigorated and hopeful—you should see Wu Lan, her cheeks were flushed with excitent!
Indeed! Driving local developnt by one’s own efforts, how prestigious their reputation will be when word gets out! How pleasant to the ear!
Don’t think Wu Lan is being vulgar; they grew up in the countryside, who wouldn’t want a top-notch reputation in ten miles and eight villages?
Only Song Tan looked sullen: “Don’t overpromise. Let Secretary Xiaozu first tell us, when can the mountains on both sides of my grassland be negotiated?”
Ah, this… Secretary Xiaozu seriously said: “We are negotiating! But there are private lands on both sides, we try to make everyone happy to avoid future sabotage.”
“It’s impossible to satisfy everyone.”
Song Tan stated frankly: “The price of my family’s goods can’t be kept secret. Those barren hills are nothing but rocks; they won’t even grow weeds in their hands. Even if I pay 1,000 yuan per mu, once I make money they will still be unsatisfied.”
“Yes.” Secretary Xiaozu also understood, and said solemnly: “That’s why it has been delayed for so long, but don’t worry, a contract will definitely be signed by the end of the year.”
She advised: “You’re doing a big business, the more we need to be beyond reproach in the details… When Professor Song’s students co, I also plan to ask them to take so aerial footage for record-keeping.”
Whether it’s before and after developnt comparison or archive evidence of current contracts, we need to cover all aspects.
However, Song Tan was not persuaded: “I don’t see much benefit in linking to live streaming… I run a farm in my hotown and provide jobs for the locals, isn’t that driving developnt?”
That’s true, but Teacher Tang firmly said: “Song Tan, do you think rural land is valuable?”
In a sense, as it cannot be traded, it’s a root and very valuable.
But if what grows on this root doesn’t make money, and sotis you even have to pay money on a bad season…
“Based on the contracting price, it’s not valuable.”
Then there’s the slightly higher price she offered when contracting originally, but invaluable is invaluable, otherwise, why would the village agree so quickly?
Teacher Tang pointed outside: “So, what if a random businessman cos and drops twenty million to take over all the land around your family’s… Do you think there are few people with that capability?”
With twenty million thrown in, whether the contracting fee goes to the village or the villagers, who would think money bites the hand? How they agreed to her, they will surely agree to other bosses just the sa.
And it’s not the sa plot of land being sold, so there’s no conflict!
What others do with the land after leasing it… Quite simply, even if they do nothing, Lao Song’s family can’t expand and will always be limited to this small piece of land.
Or, they might just plant so disease-prone, insect-attracting crops without maintenance… Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows, when bugs start appearing in the neighboring field, you have to start spraying pesticides in your own.
So, how to break this situation?
Song Tan pondered thoughtfully.
She relies on her ans to be open and straightforward in everything she does, and since she cares mostly for her own gratification, she doesn’t have much demand for the surrounding environnt.
But if soone maliciously encircles her, that’s a different story altogether.
Therefore, she also seriously said: “Teacher Tang, what’s your suggestion?”
“What idea can I have?” The little old lady was quite haughty: “You first organize a live stream session.”
“With a business reputation established and the village’s na out there, live streaming can also let the higher-ups directly feel the power of your family from the sales data. By next year, when Yunqiao Village starts booming, you won’t need to negotiate contracts because the village officials will have to co over with the villagers’ wishes to inquire.”
Given a choice between a foreign rchant and a well-known, reliable local family at the sa price, everyone knows which they’d prefer.
Moreover, such collective cooperation isn’t limited to one family or one person; if one person tries to cause trouble, the others will deal with him first.
Song Tan sighed, content and convinced.
However…
“Teacher Tang, exactly what do you teach? How co you know this stuff so well?”
The little old lady was quite reticent: “Just a regular subject… But a couple of years ago, a publisher approached
to write a book. In order to gather material, I consulted several poverty alleviation cadres with significant achievents.”
After all, she was a teacher, and several of these officers were her forr students. Plus, with Professor Song specializing in agriculture… When asking for their insights, of course, they had a lot to say!
In her words, there was an understated difficulty (recovery), which subtly hinted at seeking Professor Song’s support.
Wow! A published author!
Lao Song’s family showed their respect, and Song Tan quickly asked: “What book? What’s the title? I’ll go buy it right away and read it! It must have been a bestseller, right?”
Professor Song couldn’t help but let out a “pfft” of laughter at this mont.
“Don’t ask. The publisher’s view was that it portrayed human nature as vile, with all sorts of outrageous poverty-stricken households, as well as the realistic depiction of collusion between officials and businessn oppressing others. They suggested a revision—she wouldn’t revise, so the deal hasn’t been settled yet!”
You, person! The old lady glared with anger.
The small room was imdiately filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
At this mont, Tian Tian and Secretary Xiaozu finally breathed a huge sigh of relief, joining Zhang Yanping in announcing a joint teaser—
[Hand Cream, Available to Everyone, Coming Soon!]
The na was very simple and direct, but as soon as they read the announcent, everyone went crazy!
Hand Cream? Available to everyone?! How is this like a dream co true?
Upon closer look, oh, 2 grams, enough for one hand mask… What? Only 12.9 yuan each and free shipping?!! Ahhh, that’s going to sell like crazy!
Could the free shipping option be regular mail? That’s not important! That’s not important!
Who would hesitate at the price of 12.9!
My god, when has Lao Song’s family ever been so affordable? Indeed, the live-strear usually doesn’t say much, but they must really care about us in their hearts, sob sob sob!
Thousands of fans moved to pieces.
Fans who didn’t manage to buy Kudzu powder also moved to pieces.
And normally, it’s a problem if a few hundred thousand people can’t grab a few thousand offers due to internet speed issues, but now if you can’t get one of the hundred thousand available…
That clearly ans you didn’t intend to buy it at all!
Moreover, the higher-ups said that this ti it’s a joint live-stream, both [Secretary Xiaozu] live-stream and [Tian Yuan Notes] will broadcast together, with the product link in [Secretary Xiaozu]’s live-stream room, and each person is limited to one purchase… No problem, no problem, getting at least one is possible, unlike the tis without any purchase limits where you can’t get anything!
At this mont, countless people were overjoyed, but the excitent had nowhere to be vented, eventually turning into suppressed “ahhhhhhs”!
Yet when they saw the live-stream start ti—oh, a week later.
Everyone imdiately turned into the impatient King of Hurry, truly unable to wait even a day longer.
But there was no helping it… 2 grams, after all, the previously ordered packaging boxes were all unusable now, needed to adjust the filling mode, and add a sealing line, this ti it would be packaged in a sealed bag, and the bags would need to be custom ordered…
Think of the bagged samples that co with every skincare product.
