"To be honest, I started the orchard for myself, but I changed my mind later. I want everyone to get rich with me. The reason why I didn't let everyone plant apples was because I didn't know if it would be successful. If I encouraged everyone to plant apples in the first place, who would bear the responsibility if we lost? Everyone would definitely scold me then. "
"After a few years of hard work, the orchard was successful and profitable. In fact, even if Uncle Lao Han didn't question me, I would have given everyone an explanation after the New Year and encouraged everyone to plant apples. Since everyone wants to know, it's better for me to bring it up now. It'll make everyone feel more at ease. I don't know if everyone understands my painstaking efforts. "
When Lu Yiwei finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd. They whispered to each other and exchanged opinions. Lao Han grumbled to Lu Yiwei, "If I knew you were thinking like this, you should have told us earlier. We will definitely support you. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, Secretary Lu, you've really put in a lot of effort. We've wronged you." An elderly man said with a trembling voice.
"Yeah, Secretary Lu, we know that you're a good person and you definitely won't abandon us. Now that you've put it this way, we all understand. You're setting up an experimental plot for us and you're going to be the vanguard," another villager said.
Lu Yiwei saw that everyone was understanding and was very happy. He pressed his hands down and continued, "Let me tell you a piece of good news. This year, the output of the orchard per mu is more than 10,000 catties. Based on the purchase price of 80 cents, one mu can earn more than 8,000 yuan. This is a very impressive figure."
As soon as he said that, the crowd went wild. One mu of land was three or four times the average income of East Tile Village. How could they not be excited?
Lu Yiwei continued, "Based on the trend of fruit prices, it's estimated that it will increase next year. If everyone plants one mu of land, the income can be imagined."
This time, everyone could not hold back anymore. That was shiny silver, and it could actually grow out of the ground. Their excitement was palpable. If Lu Yiwei's words had excited everyone, then what he said next was no less good than the land contract.
Lu Yiwei continued, "I've decided. To reduce everyone's risk, I'll contract all 30 mu of my orchard to everyone. As for the contract fee, you can pay me when you make money at the end of the year. If you lose money, it'll be on me. If you make money, it'll be on you. Is that okay? "
On the side, Lao Han was too emotional to speak. He held Lu Yiwei's hand and said tearfully, "Secretary Lu, you are the benefactor of our East Tile Village. How do you expect us to thank you?" The same voice came from the crowd. Some villagers ran up and surrounded Lu Yiwei with tears of gratitude.
Lu Yiwei was also moved. He said emotionally, "When I, Lu Yiwei, was in the most difficult time, everyone accepted me and supported me. Now that I'm rich, I have every reason to repay everyone. This is not only a form of gratitude, but also a responsibility."
"Secretary Lu, we're satisfied with your words. You'll continue to plant your orchard. You'll lead us to plant again. If there's a loss, it'll be on us. How can it be on you?" a villager said, and the others echoed.
