Cao Yuan looked unhappy and said to the man, "He Laoliu, be honest, Qin Quan joined the company, but is he the only one? To thank everyone, Boss Zhou promised to give priority to hiring people from our village after the company is operational..."

"Have I informed every household of this news? Has Boss Zhou hired anyone? Don't you know what kind of benefits he has given?"

He Laoliu shook his hands and said, "Cao Yuan, please stop talking. I only know that my son didn't join the company and didn't get the salary!"

His son could not read a single word and was eliminated by Zhang Gongzheng during the interview. He still felt resentful about this.

"We don't want to listen to your nonsense." Another person interrupted and pointed at Zhou Qi: "We are going to ask him for money now, everything else is nonsense..."

"You... you..."

At this moment, Cao Yuan felt an unprecedented frustration. What was supposed to be a good thing ended up attracting complaints. He felt as if his back was hunched and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

And Zhou Qi didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Despite the chaos around him, his face remained calm.

At this time, he slowly said: "That... money, there is no way to make up for it!"

These words were like a flame dropped into an oil barrel. He Laoliu exploded instantly: "Why can't we make up for it? It's okay if you don't want to make up for it, then just return the goods to us!"

Zhou Qi looked at him silently. It was obvious that He Laoliu had the loudest voice in the whole audience.

Zhou Qi shook his head slightly: "The goods have been sold, there is no reason to return them."

"What do you mean by this? You won't refund the money, and you won't return the goods. Do you think we are soft persimmons that you can easily bully?" He Laoliu pointed his finger directly at Zhou Qi and said through gritted teeth, "You think we dare not use violence, do you..."

Liu Yuan, who was standing by, was secretly delighted when he saw this scene.

That’s right, let’s educate them!

There were so many people, and if everyone came to kick him, it would be so lively. Thinking of the miserable state he had been besieged in, he wanted to give the other person a taste of his own medicine.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."

Zhou Qi's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one: "I admit that I did make money. After all, I'm doing business. I make a little profit from buying cotton fabrics. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you say that I made money against my conscience, I won't admit it."

"I don't care whether you admit it or not, the one cent price difference is there, and the evidence is irrefutable!"

Zhou Qi was not annoyed at all.

To be exact, there is no need to get angry with them.

He chuckled and said, "Okay, let's talk about this one cent price difference."

"This one cent increase in price is because we allow you to buy on credit. The prices of the goods you've sold these days, except for those sold on credit, are the same as when we bought them. In other words, even if we have to make up the difference, it's only for the goods sold on credit. Am I right?"

Ding Jinxiong frowned slightly.

He couldn't guess what Zhou Qi was up to.

But he really couldn't find any fault with what he said.

If he asked everyone to force Zhou Qi to make up the entire difference, it would mean that he would have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

The goods have already been received, why should I pay more?

After thinking about it, Ding Jinxiong finally didn't say anything.

The villagers discussed privately and felt that what Zhou Qi said seemed to make some sense.

Zhou Qi glanced around, seeing through everyone's thoughts. A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Well, friends who bought goods on credit before, please raise your hands so I can see..."

About one-third of the people on the field responded and raised their hands.

Most of these people stood at the front of the crowd.

Actually!

Cao Qinquan has a detailed account.

I remember exactly how much each family bought on credit.

In fact, there are more people who want to make up the difference.

When Zhou Qi saw this situation, he understood it clearly.

Not everyone wants to make a fuss, and not everyone is obsessed with that tiny price difference.

To put it bluntly, those who didn’t raise their hands are grateful in their hearts.

Not everyone will be blinded by the immediate benefits.

They didn't care how much Zhou Qi earned, they only understood one thing: without Zhou Qi, the cotton cloth in their home could not be exchanged for cash, and the price was the same as that in the cotton mill, so they were already quite content.

"Thank you, everyone." Zhou Qi pressed his hands, signaling everyone to put down their hands, and then said: "For those who paid in cash on the spot, let's not talk about it. After all, the two were settled on the spot. It's like when we buy fruit and go home, and find that it's cheaper somewhere else the next day, we can't go back and ask for a refund, right? Everyone understands this, so I won't say more."

"Speaking of credit, some compensation should indeed be given."

"But as you can see, the company is just starting out and has a lot of expenses. I really can't come up with a large sum of money right now."

"Well, I'll add 20 cents to the original price and run a special trip for those friends who bought on credit before. The extra cent is my gift to you all. How do you think?"

Add two cents? The compensation is doubled!

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Brother Qi, what are you doing? It's just two cents!" Zhang Gong was getting anxious.

Zhou Qi didn't wait for him to finish, raised his hand to interrupt him, and said to everyone: "Let me make it clear first, I can't accept insufficient goods. Shipping costs are a big expense. I can't just ship as much as I receive. I have to pay a lot of extra costs of two cents.

Besides, this time, we have to solve it quickly, within two days. As you can see, the company is busy opening, and there are a lot of things waiting. We really can’t spare too much energy for the cotton fabrics…”

He Laoliu asked coldly: "Do you mean what you said?"

"Of course, the company is here, how could I cheat you?" Zhou Qi replied.

He Laoliu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take the compensation. I'll go home now and bring all the cotton fabrics here."

"Hey, don't be impatient. Just your agreement is not enough. If the quantity is not enough, it will be useless. We need everyone to agree." Zhou Qi waved at Cao Qinquan, "Qinquan, bring the previous account books and write down which ones are willing to accept compensation."

"Okay!" Cao Qinquan responded and left.

At this time, Liu Yuan interrupted and said, "Wait, have you forgotten one thing? Those agreements are signed in black and white. If you really give them the goods, it will be a breach of contract according to the agreement, and you will have to pay a thousand yuan!"

There is not as much cotton fabric as you want.

There is only one harvest per year, and the quantity is very limited.

If Zhou Qiquan took everything away, what else would they have to take?

He knew in his heart that even if Zhou Qi received the goods, he might not be able to sell them, but he naturally didn't want anything to hinder his ability to make money.

"Boss Ding, this is really cruel." Zhou Qi stared at Ding Jinxiong and said righteously, "It's not easy for the villagers to sell cotton fabrics. How can you make an agreement to restrict them? If you don't buy them, they will have to keep the fabrics at home and let them rot. When someone can't stand it anymore, you will earn the thousand yuan for breach of contract? This is too mean!"

"You have a legitimate fruit wholesale store in the north, how could you do such an immoral thing?"
