Chapter Fifteen: Having Long Since Had an Idea

  After a severe beating, Guo Jufeng was left with not a single whole bone and didn't dare to make a sound. Only then did Liang Sanping sit calmly in the chair, his face not red, his breathing not labored, as he looked at Guo Jufeng.

  "Can you speak human language?!" Gou Jufeng was lying on the ground, his face pale and speechless. In all his years, he had never suffered such a loss. Nor had he ever met someone who would attack without saying a word.

  But then Liang Sanping looked at Gou Jufeng and said word by word: "What's wrong with the peasants?! Without peasants, what do you eat?! What do you drink?! What are you wearing on your body?!"

  "What's wrong with farmers?! Do farmers deserve your disdain?! Do farmers deserve to be looked down upon?!"

  Liang Sanping said, his eyes reddening slightly. He thought a lot. He recalled the time he attended a business conference and when he mentioned that he was a farmer, those people didn't say anything but their eyes hid a hint of disdain.

  What's wrong with the peasants?! They eat the grain, fruits and vegetables grown by the peasants, drink the fine wine brewed from the grains. Yet these people look down on the peasants in a very "refined" manner.

  What's wrong with working the land?! I earn my money with my own two hands, I don't steal, rob, cheat or swindle! What makes you look down on me?! Is the land dirty?! Does the smell of sweat stink?! Can your ancestors from three generations back not find one who worked the land?!

  "City people" look down on farmers, thinking we're dirty, smelly and uncultured. But they never think that without us farmers, they wouldn't be able to find anything to eat or drink!!

  Those years of chaos, countless scar literature sighed about their days stuck in the countryside. But why has no one ever lamented the thousands of years of farmers who have faced the yellow earth and turned their backs to the sky, generation after generation living like this?

  Are farmers not suffering?! Are you the only ones who are suffering?!

  Liang Sanping's eyes turned red, and countless scenes flashed through his mind. He thought of his parents, who had spent their whole lives working on the land in the countryside.

  He thought of his elder brother, who had dedicated his life to the farm. He thought of Xia Zhendong, Liu Lao, Huang Lao and other old predecessors, who had worked hard for rubber all their lives.

  "What's wrong with being a farmer?! Does being a farmer mean I deserve to be poor all my life?! Does being a farmer mean I deserve to be bullied by city folks like you?!" But then Liang Sanping suddenly flew into a rage, stood up abruptly and scared Gu Youfeng so much that he was trembling with fear.

  He's really scared now, he should have known earlier that Liang Sanping's temper would not dare to provoke him. Unfortunately, it's too late for regrets now.

  "Hey Gou Jufeng! I just want to tell you one thing: being a farmer can also make money!"

  What did I come to this world for?! Liang Sanping had never thought about this question before. In his view, his previous life was considered fulfilling.

  High-ranking officials with thick salaries are indeed not available, but they win at home in harmony and physical health, and their wives are virtuous and filial. Money is just a thing, no matter how much you earn, the actual amount you live on, eat, and drink is limited.

  There has never been a shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and the children are also considered to be making progress. The reputation outside is mixed, and the money earned is not small. What else can one ask for?

  Reborn in this life, he used to just follow his feelings. Until the words of Gou Jufeng came out, Liang Sanping suddenly felt that he should do something.

  "Are farmers poor?! I don't believe that! Farmers can also become rich and prosperous! Farmers can also hold their heads high with pride! Farmers can also create a path for themselves!" Liang Sanping took a deep breath, looking at Gou Jufeng as he said word by word: "Farmers are not inferior to you!!"

  Gu Youfeng wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that Liang Sanping would beat him again. Now he realized that Ge Tai didn't have the slightest intention of saving him.

  Just now when he was being beaten, Ge Tai actually only paid attention to communicating with the secretary next to him and didn't even glance at him.

  "I'm waiting for you! Come on...!" Gou Jufeng almost spat out these few words, if he wasn't staring at Liang Sanping's tightly clenched fist, he might have said something even more unpleasant.

  After finishing this sentence, Gou Jufeng smiled and stood up to walk towards the door. At this time, even if he was foolish, he could see that there was no one welcoming him here.

  "Comrade Gu Jufeng, regarding your application to come to Qiongzhoukou, I think it can be put off for the time being..." Ge Tai spoke up at this moment, but saw him say coldly to Gu Jufeng's back.

  "It's a good place, the two institutes! You can exercise there too, it's not bad. As for the transfer, we'll talk about it later..."

  Gu Youfang heard this and couldn't help but shudder all over, then turned around with pleading eyes looking at Ge Tai. He didn't want this to be true...

  "We can't keep a great talent like Comrade Gu Yu at our two institutions, I will write a report to the ministry when I get back. Hopefully there are higher positions that can be given to Comrade Gu Yu, so he can make use of his abilities!"

  Liu Lao let out a cold hum, and then said. When Gou Jufeng heard this, his face revealed a desperate and crazy expression. Liang Sanping didn't say anything, silently standing in front of Liu Lao.

  Gu Youming sneered and finally walked out of the hotel with his head down. He knew that he was completely finished.

  "Is that Comrade Xiao Liang?!" Ge Tai walked up to Liang Sanping and extended his hand: "I am Special Commissioner Ge Tai of Qiongzhou Port."

  "Hello! Commissioner Ge!" Liang Sanping shook hands with Ge Tai, who then held his hand tightly and said: "What you just said, I hope more than anyone that you can achieve. Because..."

  "I am also from the countryside, I am also a farmer's son!!"

  After finishing this sentence, Ge Tai directly took the people from Qiongzhou away from the hotel. Looking at Ge Tai's back, Liang Sanping smiled slightly. As for Liu Lao and others, they were somewhat worried and anxious.

  "Xiao Liang! You've lost your temper and gotten beaten up. What are we going to do about this humidifier...?" But Liu Lao just shook his head with a helpless smile: "Alas... when the country is weak, it's bound to be bullied..."

  Xia Zhendong burst out laughing and said to Liu Lao and the others, "Liu Lao, don't listen to that nonsense spouted by Gou Jufeng. Are those Americans who bought the humidifiers all from the same family?!"

  "There are countless companies selling fogging machines in the US. Does he really think he can monopolize the market?!" Xia Zhendong sneered: "Fogging machines were first invented by Germans, Americans just copied their data."

  "Except for the United States, Germany, France, Britain... which country doesn't have a hot fog machine?! Ba Dun has banned it, but even if he moved out of Ba Dun, we can still buy from the Soviet Union!"

  Liu Lao and others heard this and couldn't help but slap their forehead, isn't that the truth?! Without Zhang Butcher, no eating hairy pigs. The whole world is full of people selling hot fog machines, why bother asking him?!

  Besides, if it weren't for the poor quality of domestic humidifiers that can't reach the desired spray height, Liu Lao and others wouldn't have to beg the department to use foreign exchange to bring back two units.

  But Liang Sanping was very calm. Hall is a fool, but that doesn't mean their American company is also a group of fools. You know, the Chinese agricultural machinery market, which has just started, is almost blank.

  This means that future sales will be incredibly amazing. It is worth noting that China is a major agricultural country, and there are a large number of agricultural populations on this land.

  And these agricultural populations will bring a large demand for agricultural machinery as they develop. If we don't grasp this market at this time, that would be truly stupid.

  It is precisely because of this that the US side will be stuffed into a business group with an agricultural machinery company. Unfortunately, it seems that the person sent by this agricultural machinery company does not have such vision.

  "Since we've already ordered the dishes, let's just eat them!" Xia Zhendong chuckled and said, "The dishes that have been ordered can't be cancelled, not eating them would be a waste indeed!"

  Liu Lao and the others only then noticed the dishes on the table, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all present. This was a rare sight in this era, even for experts like them who didn't usually receive such treatment.

  After a moment of emotion, several people laughed and started moving the earth.

  Anyway, Ge Tai and the others have already paid for this meal, so it's a waste not to eat. With this mindset, Liang Sanping didn't hold back. At his age of over ten years old, he should be eating more anyway.

  "Sanping, you've said it out loud. But do you have confidence in your heart?!" Everyone was hungry and had finished dinner, with Liu Lao being the first to ask Liang Sanping.

  Liu Lao's words came out, and the other old men also looked at Liang Sanping. They weren't unfamiliar with people who bragged a lot; in that crazy era, they had seen their fair share of boastful talk.

  As industry experts, they hate this kind of unnecessary boasting the most. Therefore, they do not want Liang Sanping to become such a person either.

  "Liu Lao, although Liang Sanping is not very old, he still knows what it means to be a man of his word." Facing the old man's sharp gaze, Liang Sanping did not back down.

  "I dare say it out loud, I'm confident!" Liang Sanping smiled at Liu Lao: "What is our Qiong Island? The seed base of agricultural colleges and research institutes all over the country!"

  "Why did they choose our Hainan Island as the breeding base? It's because the climate of our Hainan Island is different from other places, and this difference can be a big deal..."

  As Liang Sanping said this, he paused for a moment, causing Liu Lao and others to be puzzled. The climate of the island is indeed very suitable for breeding, with a small temperature difference between the four seasons, but what can be done about it?

  It's no wonder that Liu Lao and others were puzzled, because they hadn't experienced the great development of later generations. In fact, the concept proposed by Liang Sanping wasn't realized until ten years later.

  It was only after that when the industry in Hainan Island started to gain attention. In the end, it even became a pillar industry for the entire Hainan Island!

  "Out-of-season melons! Winter, export!" Liang Sanping burst out laughing and directly revealed his trump card to Liu Lao and the others.
