360 Zhou Hao’s Underhanded Means
“President Zhao, do you want me to use some methods to deal with the residents who have been causing trouble recently?” the secretary said with an unfriendly expression.
Although Zhao Gang was the village chief, he liked to be addressed as President Zhao.
As Zhao Gang’s lackey, the secretary naturally received many benefits. Once Zhao Gang fell, he would be finished as well.
“Don’t even think about it! What era is it now? You still want to use violence to solve problems? How many times have I told you to use your brain when you do things? Use your brain, understand! We’re at a disadvantage because we’re uneducated. Although Wen An is a little foolish, I have to admit that he’s very capable,” Zhao Gang reprimanded loudly as he took a deep puff of his cigarette.
!!
“Then, President Zhao, what should we do?” The secretary looked at Zhao Gang in confusion.
“During this period of time, inform the distributors that they have to pay more for the agricultural products. We don’t want our commission for the time being. We want whatever the neighboring Qinghe Village is taking.” Although Zhao Gang was reluctant, he could only do this.
If he didn’t, he might lose his position as the village chief.
“Huh? Then wouldn’t we be suffering a huge loss?” the secretary immediately said in distress.
“Let’s stabilize the situation first!” Zhao Gang almost roared out in anger. This stupid secretary was even greedier than he was.
However, just as the two of them were discussing countermeasures, there was a knock on the door.
“Go open the door,” Zhao Gang said in a low voice as he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and squinted his eyes.
The office door was opened.
“Nice to meet you, President Zhao. My name is Zhou Hao,” Zhou Hao said cordially to Zhao Gang, as if he were an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.
“Do we know each other?” Zhao Gang asked doubtfully as he looked at the young man in front of him, who was dressed in ordinary clothes but had a magnanimous bearing.
“We’ll know each other soon, my friend. What’s bothering you now should be the neighboring Qinghe Village, right? They’re developing very well now. If it wasn’t for that President Chu who appeared out of nowhere, you might have been able to hold on for a few more years, but you’ll definitely leave this place in the end as just Wen An alone has given you a lot of pressure,” Zhou Hao said directly.
“What?” As soon as Zhou Hao said this, both Zhao Gang and the secretary’s expressions changed.
A stranger had suddenly appeared, accurately explaining the predicament he was currently in, and knowing so much about the surrounding environment and situation. It was truly a little terrifying.
“What are you trying to say?” Zhao Gang looked at Zhou Hao and said with a calm expression.
At this time, the secretary, who had always been reckless, also did not speak.
Zhou Hao’s aura was very strong. In a strange environment, he did not have the slightest fear, as if people like them were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
“I can help you save the situation. You can continue to be a village chief and continue to make money. But you have to listen to me from now on, understand?” Zhou Hao said as he slowly approached Zhao Gang.
When he finished his last sentence, he was almost face to face with Zhao Gang.
“Just based on your words? I have to believe it? I have to listen to you obediently? Young man, there’s no such logic in this world.” Although Zhao Gang was a little afraid of this Zhou Hao who had suddenly appeared, his many years of experience as the village chief told him that the more he feared something, the more bravely he had to face it.
“The residents of Houtu Village are really stupid. They only know that your income as the village chief will be higher than theirs, but they don’t have a specific number in their minds. Every time you accept a bribe from the distributors, they will collectively lose a profit. How much have you embezzled over the years?” Zhou Hao suddenly looked straight into Zhao Gang’s eyes and said indifferently.
“Also, if you rashly raise the price of agricultural products, it will be hard to explain to the distributors, right? I think they’ll make you pay back double the benefits you’ve taken.” Zhou Hao paused for a moment and then continued.
“The most important thing is that, according to my understanding, the mayor of M City has suddenly set his sights on the grassroots. He’s also very curious as to why the economies of the villages have not been able to develop. He had clearly allocated a certain amount of resources to all of you, but you could not make use of these preferential policies at all. After all, all you village chiefs only want to make money for yourselves. How could you care about the development of the villages? But now, you have no choice but to pay close attention. After all, you have the town mayor and the county head above you. The city mayor is above them. The city mayor won’t look for you directly and embarrass you. He will only look for the county head, and the county head will look for the town mayor.”
Zhou Hao’s face suddenly darkened.
