A Divine Farmer

C401 – Eternal Oblivion

The people invited to this gathering were all here, but now, an irrelevant person had appeared. Naturally, everyone would be on alert.

However, when they saw the appearance of this person, everyone was puzzled. How could it be him? Where did he come from?

“So it’s Director Zhang.” Yuv Jian was the first to speak. After all, this was his home, “We old friends are having a gathering here. I didn’t expect Director Zhang to have the interest to come. If I had known this earlier, I would have sent an invitation to Director Zhang.”

“Then there’s no need. I know everyone’s worries and what you all want. Although it looks like a joint effort to resist the risk, no one wants to give up their company unless it is absolutely necessary. This kind of joint effort is actually meaningless. Moreover, there will be all kinds of downsides.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled. He knew that his arrival was too sudden, so it was normal for everyone to be on guard. “Am I right?”

All the bosses looked at each other in dismay. No one said a word.

The words were right, but none of them wanted to say anything. It was useless to say anything now.

“Then, what do you have in mind, Director Zhang?” Yuv Jian thought for a moment. He felt that there must be a reason for the other party to suddenly come uninvited. “To be honest, we don’t need to earn a lot of money right now. As long as we can protect ourselves, it’s fine. We are just afraid that the Hundred River Company will drag us down with them. At that time, we will be the fish in the pond. We have no choice but to defend ourselves.”

“Of course I understand what you mean, and I can understand everyone’s painstaking efforts. Everyone’s company was built with great difficulty, and it took a lot of hard work to reach its current scale. No one wants to see it be destroyed in a sudden business war. In that case, have you all thought about standing on the side?” Zhang Xiaolong asked with a smile.

“Stand on the side?” Yuv Jian frowned, thinking that Zhang Xiaolong was not going to eat them all up, right?

He said that they were not really working together, and that it would not be of any use. Was he trying to completely merge them together? That would be the case, but their company would really have nothing left.

“Don’t worry, I have no interest in your company. I am already very satisfied to be able to take away thirty percent of Hundred River’s share. The problem now is how to not affect your company while I am eating this thirty percent.” Zhang Xiaolong knew what the other party was sensitive about, so he immediately comforted everyone, “The Soaring Dragon does not have much ambition. Although I want to enter this market, the current stable state is also something I like very much. Breaking it will cause a lot of people to lose their jobs. This is not something that anyone wants to see, so my goal is thirty percent of Hundred River’s share, and I hope that it will not change, or even better. That is enough.”

“But Director Zhang, this is not something that you can change just because you want to, right? We also don’t want to change, but will Hundred River let go just like that?” Someone could not help but ask.

Zhang Xiaolong chuckled, “Of course, Hundred River will not give up. If he does, that will only be an extravagant hope. But what if you all stand on my side? The situation will be different. The reason why Hundred River is unable to compete with me now is because I cut off his supply of vegetables. The reason why I am able to do this is because I have provided these people with even better conditions. More importantly, they can grow more high-quality and delicious vegetables. The market in Yanjing will not shrink. Taking a step back, as long as you can grow good vegetables, even if the market in Yanjing doesn’t want them, there are still other cities that can sell them. These vegetables will not rot in your hands.”

“What does Director Zhang want to say?” Yuv Jian asked. “Right now, Hundred River is probably going to act like Director Zhang, and make a move on our supply of vegetables. With his financial resources, it won’t be difficult for him to offer us a discount. However, we don’t have much ability to compete with him, nor do we have any way to make the farmers produce better vegetables. So, even if you stand on my side, what benefits can you get?”

“Director Yuv and all the other bosses here are smart people. Don’t you understand what I mean? The market in Yanjing is destined to change. The quality of the vegetables will definitely increase by a large margin. If it doesn’t increase, it will be eliminated. At that time, even if you all manage to hold the market, it will only shrink. If you want to maintain the current state, you have to keep up with me.”

Zhang Xiaolong shrugged his hands, indicating that this was the only way out. “The Soaring Dragon’s biggest advantage lies in their seeds. I can provide you with these excellent seeds. As long as those vegetable farm owners aren’t too stupid, they will definitely not choose to be greedy for the high price of the Hundred River Company and give up on these vegetables that can bring them more profits. Everyone, if you all have seeds, would you still be afraid that the Hundred River Company will snatch them away from your hands?”

Yuv Jian and the others’ eyes lit up. This was a great thing. Just like what Zhang Xiaolong had said, his vegetables were well-known to everyone. It was so good that no one had the determination to compete with him.

If these vegetables were also in their hands, even if the Hundred River Company was powerful, they would not have any advantage to snatch away anything from them.

“I really want to know, what is the purpose of Director Zhang’s actions?” Yuv Jian did not lose his mind because of the temptation. Instead, he asked the other party with a sensitive mind.

Since the seeds of the vegetables were Soaring Dragon’s trump card, they should be kept in their hands and slowly killed. Why would they take the initiative to share it with others? This was too unprofessional.

“Everyone here is a successful businessman, so you should know that it is not the best to be the only boss in a business. Furthermore, many times, being the sole boss will only bring about many disadvantages, and it might even cause unnecessary trouble. Soaring Dragon’s appetite is not small, but it is only aimed at the Hundred River Company. If they eat more, I’m afraid that they won’t have the time and ability to manage the company. It’s better to give it to everyone. That would be a waste of my efforts.” Zhang Xiaolong’s words were vague, but the meaning was clear.

The market in Yanjing was very big, and it was not something that he could handle alone. Not only did he need money, but there were many other factors involved. Therefore, he needed everyone to share the burden with him.

While everyone was sharing the profits, they were also helping him to squeeze Hundred River to death. In a sense, this could be considered a win-win situation, right?

The Soaring Dragon had won thirty percent of the market, while they had managed to secure the territory that originally belonged to them under the watchful eyes of Hundred River.

“Director Zhang, are you not afraid that we will join forces to deal with Soaring Dragon if we obtain the seeds?” Although the idea had yet to be unified, judging from their expressions, everyone knew that they were already leaning towards Zhang Xiaolong. Some of them even brought up this sensitive question.

Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, “If everyone can develop a method to produce the derivative seeds, that would be a blessing for China.”

Everyone laughed out loud. They understood that this kind of seed could not be produced casually. As long as Soaring Dragon controlled the seeds, he could actually firmly control the market share. At the very least, thirty percent of the market would be his.

“I think, I have already seen the bright future of working with Director Zhang!” Yuv Jian said excitedly.

Everyone nodded in agreement. As for Hundred River, he would be buried in the dust of history. In any case, their matter had been resolved!
