Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1235 Farmers

   "Wang Defa? There is such a magical operation?!" Li Hanxing was still shocked.

Liu Xing shrugged and said with a smile: "What's even more amazing is that at the beginning, the Island Country Farmers Association also counted on the government to pay for their decision, asking the government to provide subsidies for those farmers who took the initiative to reduce or even stop production; of course, Now, the officials are not fools, how could they agree to such a bizarre request, so they directly rejected the proposal of the Agricultural Association, so the Agricultural Association can only pass the money on to consumers.”

   "Wait, consumers in island countries are not fools. How could they accept such an inexplicable consumption?" Li Hanxing asked quickly.

   "It's very simple, we have a popular online term in China recently - inner volume. These two words can highly summarize what the island country agricultural association has done."

Liu Xing took a sip of water and continued: "The meaning of involution is very simple, that is to do some useless work for one's own interests, in order to run on one's competitors, a possibly inappropriate analogy is a street There are two barbers, and their level is almost the same, so if the nearby residents want to get a haircut, the probability of going to a barber is 50%; one day, a barber wants to get more So he chose to reduce the price by 10%, so he got more customers, but if he wanted to get the same income as another barber, he had to put in a certain amount of labor hours.”

"However, from the perspective of short-term interests, the barber who lowered the price obviously got more income, so another barber naturally chose to follow up when seeing this situation, so that the income of the two barbers became different again. It’s almost the same, and it’s not much different from the income before the price cut, but the hours they need to work have increased by 10%; of course, the two barbers in this example are more than worth the loss, but their consumers are getting real benefits It's a real benefit, but the introspection created by the Island Country Farmers' Association is everyone's bad luck."

"The first is the farmers. They must get the consent of the Agricultural Association for what they want to plant. Moreover, the Agricultural Association will send people to conduct field investigations during the planting process. Choose to refuse to purchase these agricultural products... Li Hanxing, think about it, is there any place in the world that will list all agricultural products on this acre of land as substandard products because one acre of land produces an extra pound of agricultural products? Even these The quality of agricultural products is very good, so the current island country agricultural association has become the largest landlord in the world. The farmers of the whole island country are working for the island country agricultural association. Therefore, the second largest bank in the island country is actually the bank of the agricultural association. ."

   "I'm going, is the farmer's association in the island country so rich?" Sun Huiwen on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Almost all financial transactions with agriculture have to pass through this bank under the Agricultural Association, so the bank's cash flow is outstanding, and this bank is also the foundation of the Agricultural Association, but according to last year's statistics, the Agricultural Association's subsidiary of banks put these deposits into either the property market or the stock market, and in the end, about 2 percent went into agriculture."

Liu Xing raised his two hands and said seriously: "A great man once said that we need to grasp both hands, and both hands must be hard. Since the Agricultural Association has gained a firm foothold in the economy, then it can stand for itself. If they are more stable, they will naturally seek another force; in the island country, there is a rule called differential voting, that is, one vote of the agricultural population can support more votes of the urban population, so the farmers have become a large vote warehouse. As a result, the peasant association relied on the votes of these farmers to elect a lot of parliamentarians, which is the characteristic of the island country - ethnic parliamentarians."

"I know a member of the clan. Before that, Sun Huiwen and I joined a transportation company for a certain task. At that time, I saw a member who claimed to be a member of the transport family came to the company to cast votes. At that time, I wanted to ask if there was a member of the dragon clan, but the result was There are really peasant parliamentarians here.”

Looking at Li Hanxing, who was playing with homophonic stalks, Liu Xing said with a smile: "The clan members are the characteristics of the island country and they have to be tasted, so these farmers' members who are representatives of the farmers' association will naturally help the farmers' association. Therefore, farmers The association can be regarded as finding its last piece of the puzzle; since it cannot resist, it can only choose to join. After all, surrender loses half, but because the agricultural association has monopolized everything from the production end to the sales end, although ordinary agricultural products are sold The income is stable, but it is too stable, which is equivalent to being in the company from nine to five in the morning, abiding by the company’s regulations, and occasionally having to work overtime or something, and in the end, the monthly income is that amount.”

"Then what can you do, that is, you can only start to roll in, because you can't roll in in terms of output and price, then you can only roll in some strange aspects, and at the beginning it was over-packaging, Fruit baskets are just trivial things. Putting those fruits of the same size and good condition in a grid will double the value. Of course, such excessive packaging will also tempt those who need gifts. Therefore, changing the fruit itself is the real volume, and the quickest way to change the fruit is to make it bigger, and we will talk about the taste later.”

"So we can now see all kinds of 'big' fruits in the island country, and their prices are naturally a lot more expensive than the ordinary version, but nutrition and taste are not to be complimented on. Of course, there are also some fruits that enhance the sweetness. The price of these fruits has risen to a new level; as for the agricultural products with improved nutritional content, I think it is a kind of IQ tax for ordinary people, because these agricultural products are not in the game. Those enhancement potions can permanently increase your attribute value in one bite."

"Uh, I remember that I used to play an interlude growth, which is to make me spend a lot of money to buy some high-nutrition fruits and vegetables, and then I have a 50% chance to increase a certain attribute value, of course, there are also percentages. A forty-five percent chance is useless, and a five percent chance of deducting a certain attribute value."

Hearing what Li Hanxing said, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Then you must choose this interlude growth, there is only a 5% chance that there will be negative events, because such a good interlude growth is too much. Rare."

"Unfortunately, the amount of money needed for this inter-scenario growth is really too much, and I, Sun Huiwen, was just a fledgling mercenary at the time, but I didn't have the money to start this inter-scenario growth... It's really a penny to beat a hero. Well, I had known that I should have accepted this interim growth first, and then took Sun Huiwen to the bank in the next module to 'borrow' some money for emergencies."

Looking at Li Hanxing with a face full of regrets, Liu Xing could only shake his head and say: "It seems that this is just the Cthulhu running group game hall playing with you, I gave you a look that looks beautiful, but it is impossible to do it. The inter-act growth, even if you chose this inter-act growth at that time, when you go back to the next module, you will find that this module takes place in an uninhabited wilderness; but Li Hanxing, you are still Late, because there are still many agricultural products with high nutritional value on the island country, their only disadvantage is that they are more expensive, but the most important thing we do not lack now is money."

   "Yeah, why didn't I think of this?"

  Li Hanxing took out his mobile phone and turned on the shopping mode while talking, "Wait, the best strawberries in the island country are from the Sawada family? Apple?"

   Liu Xing took a look and found that many kinds of agricultural products produced by the Zetian family are known as the crown of the island country, rich in vitamins ABCDEFG, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, copper and plutonium. . . Uh, the last show.

   All in all, when Liu Xing looked at the sales list of Zetian's family, he thought for a while that he was watching an advertisement on a TV shopping platform.

   "Then I'll call Sawada Yayin first and ask. It would be great if I could eat and drink for free."

  As a man with strong action, Li Hanxing called Sawada Yain as soon as he finished speaking.

As a result, Sawada Yayin's answer was very straightforward, that is, the agricultural products produced by the Sawada family were all improved by her, so she was sure that although the nutritional value of these agricultural products was higher than that of ordinary similar products, this increase. In fact, it is not too high, so the Zetian family used some spring and autumn brushwork when conducting online publicity. For example, the unit on the nutrition comparison table is "a", and the weight of one Zetian family apple is equivalent to two common varieties. Apple, so the two numbers on the same row on the comparison table seem to be quite different.

   Of course, even the Sawada family has not escaped the clutches of the Island Country Farmers Association, so the output of the Sawada family's agricultural products is not high, and this is the case when the Sawada family is making a special brand. . . According to Sawada Miyin, the Sawada family, who was still planting ordinary crops, was beaten by the agricultural association. Even though the Sawada family was already the largest family in Ziwu City, it was also eaten by the island country agricultural association. , can only sell their own products in their own stores.

Although agricultural products are not a major source of income for the Sawada family, they do not want to steam the steamed buns, so Sawada Yayin spent a semester researching those new varieties, and then sold them to the Island Country Agricultural Association at a high price. . . . No way, when Sawada Yayin ate the new varieties she developed, she felt that these fruits and vegetables were not as tasty as ordinary varieties, and the added nutritional value was better than nothing, so it is better to sell them Go make some money.

   As a result, Li Hanxing's plan to eat and drink for free failed, because the agricultural products produced by the Zetian family were limited in quantity and had already been ordered.

Looking at Li Hanxing, who was a little disappointed, Liu Xing smiled and said: "Didn't Sawada Yayin say that those agricultural products don't taste good, and even their creators don't want to eat more... Of course... Now, I heard that the fruit baskets in island countries are specially used to visit patients. Although the fruits in them look good, they taste like chewing wax, so I don't think you want to eat candles every day."

   "Forget it, I'm still a man who attaches great importance to the desire for words."

Li Hanxing shook his head and continued to complain: "In this way, the farmers' association in the island country is really a strange existence. In name, it is to protect the farmers of the country. As a result, except for a small number of farmers, other farmers have become Its migrant workers; as for those consumers in the island country, it is even worse. They could have eaten cheap and high-quality agricultural products, but they had to pay high prices for it because of the self-interest of the Agricultural Association. No wonder Before I came to the island country, I often heard that the islanders could not afford fruit."

"I can't afford to eat fruit, but I can afford 100% pure juice. Such a very magical and realistic thing may only happen in island countries, because those fruits of poor quality cannot be sold on the market, so they can only be sold at low prices. Going to make juice, that's why island countries have so many juice drinks."

While talking, Liu Xing looked at the fully automatic vending machine (free version) not far away-because there are too many people on the farm, and the location of the farm is relatively remote, so Guchuan Xiaofu asked someone I got a few vending machines and placed them all over the place, and everyone can use them at will.

"Huh? Liu Xing, after you said that, I realized that there are indeed quite a lot of juice drinks in this vending machine, but then again, the original owner of this farm is a bit powerful, and he can actually bypass the farmers' association to do business." Li Hanxing said with some admiration: "So the reason why this farm has become what it is today is not because the original owner of the farm offended the Agricultural Association, and it was overshadowed by the Agricultural Association?"

"Nine times out of ten, after all, the farmers' association in the island country is already a huge interest group. They will not watch this farm break the rules they set, even if the farm can produce very limited products every year. ."

   Liu Xing touched his chin and asked curiously, "Did those villagers mention that the original owner of this farm had any conflict with the farmers' association?"

"Of course there have been some conflicts, but they can only be regarded as petty troubles. It is nothing more than that the farmers' association did not issue a certificate to the farm, and asked downstream customers not to buy the farm's products, but the results were very limited; other than that In addition, there are some shady little actions, such as cutting off water and electricity, but because the original owner of the farm has some skills, the farm can continue to operate until the quality of the farm's products really declines... Of course, Everyone thinks this is a good thing done by the Agricultural Association, but unfortunately there is no evidence to prove it.”

   Hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed in Liu Xing's mind, that is, the farmer's association in Nagoya is not the one who controls the drought, right? !

   Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing thinks this possibility is quite high.
