My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 444: There Are Also Dividends

Ge Guifen’s voice wasn’t loud or soft, and because she was standing at the back, with a few layers of people already standing in front of her, only those nearby heard what she said.

To her surprise, just as Ge Guifen finished speaking, the village chief who was standing at the front and couldn’t possibly hear her, coincidentally said, "Also, before I came here, Youxi specifically asked me to reassure everyone. Youxi has secured a business deal in the Imperial Capital, which means the purchase price for our Hexing Rice will definitely increase. The money given to us will be more than before."

"As for how much more, we need to do some calculations before giving everyone the final quote," the village chief said. "But you can all rest assured when it comes to Youxi handling matters; she never lets us all suffer a loss."

Someone suddenly asked, "Village chief, will the increased price afterward be higher than the previous offer the factory gave us?"

The village chief looked over and saw that it was Fan Shugen who had asked.

At that moment, Fan Shugen’s eyes were darting around, and whether intentionally or not, they landed on Ge Guifen.

Now, everyone in Hexing Village knew that only Ge Guifen had sold her rice to the factory and did not continue to cooperate with Lu Youxi.

After the villagers became aware, Ge Guifen no longer hid the fact and even began bragging in the village.

She said the factory’s price was somehow much higher than what Lu Youxi offered.

"You people who follow Lu Youxi have no future."

She had advised everyone before to sell their rice to the factory.

No one listened.

Now look, aren’t you earning less than she did?

Regret it?

Before today, Ge Guifen strutted around the village with her head held high, extremely smug.

Determined to remind the villagers every time they saw her that following Lu Youxi meant a loss for them.

Ge Guifen hadn’t expected that only a few days after her swaggering, the village chief would bring good news today.

"Hehe," the village chief chuckled, having also heard from his wife about how arrogant Ge Guifen had been in the village these days.

"What was the factory’s previous offer again? I can’t quite remember," said the village chief.

"Two cents more per kilogram than what Youxi previously gave us," shouted Fan Shugen.

The village chief wasn’t really having trouble remembering; he was worried some villagers might not clearly remember and deliberately reminded them again.

But in his heart, the village chief thought Ge Guifen really only saw the short-term benefits.

That shitty factory, hugging close to the price offered by Lu Youxi, only raised it by two cents per kilogram, and Ge Guifen was actually pleased with that.

If she stayed with Lu Youxi, the increase would be much more than that.

The village chief said cheerfully, "I don’t know exactly how much the increase will be, but it will definitely be more than that."

Before coming here, the village chief had specifically asked Lu Youxi if she could give him a rough estimate so he could have an idea in his mind. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He wouldn’t tell the villagers to avoid disappointment if the actual number didn’t meet that estimate.

Lu Youxi then gave him a conservative figure.

She said the definite price would only be higher than that.

Even the conservative number given by Lu Youxi was higher than the factory’s current offer.

"Really!" everyone exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Only Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen had unsightly expressions at the back of the crowd.

Because of Fan Shugen just now, the village chief had also noticed Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen.

Now, seeing their expressions, the village chief said to the villagers, "This time Youxi has increased the price for everyone. I want to see if that factory can still raise their price for us."

"Even if they could increase it by a few cents, like reluctantly handing out charity, matching Youxi’s price, when Youxi continues to raise it, could the factory still keep up?"

"Just by looking at the pittance they’ve offered us over the past few years, you can tell that factory isn’t one to think big or do great things. It reeks of pettiness. Can they continue to raise prices? I don’t believe it," the village chief shook his head.

"Village chief, you always spoke with insight, but after going to the Imperial Capital, your words feel even more profound now."

The village chief laughed and gestured, saying, "Going to the Imperial Capital, I indeed gained some insights."

"People who really do big business think big. More often, it’s those who are fixated on petty profits who fail to achieve anything," the village chief chuckled. "Let’s not talk about this."

"Moreover, Youxi also instructed me to tell everyone that we will have dividends at the end of the year," the village chief said. "So, it’s not just that the unit price for the rice has increased, but we will also get an additional share of dividends at year’s end. I ask, who else but Youxi, who always thinks of our village and comes from here, would do this for us? Who else would go to such lengths?"

"You think that factory would?" the village chief snorted. "They act like it’s killing them just to raise the price of our rice, let alone share their profits."

"Of course not!" everyone immediately shouted.

"Yes! Plus, the price Youxi is going to offer us from now on is already higher than the factory’s, and we get dividends at the end of the year too. That’s a lot more than what the factory offers!"

"No matter how much the factory raises their price, they can’t outdo Youxi’s."

"Definitely not. Youxi wants to lead us to wealth and help us make money. She naturally is willing to earn a little less herself in order to let us earn more," Aunt Lin declared loudly. "But others? What about that factory? They just want to make money off us! Can they be the same as Youxi?"

"Indeed!"

"I’m ashamed to say I never imagined that Youxi, the child, would be so mindful of past relations, so willing to help us out."

"When she was mistreated at the Lu Family, I really regret not standing up for her. Now I want to help her, but I don’t have the means to, and she doesn’t need my help anyway," sighed an uncle.

"Village chief, how will the year-end dividends be distributed?" someone still seemed more concerned about the dividends.

Laughing, the village chief said, "Youxi mentioned it will be based on the quality and quantity of rice each family from our village has submitted on each occasion."

"Those who provide more high-quality rice naturally get more dividends – it’s all proportional. The specific dividend ratios will be announced along with the purchase price for Hexing Rice," the village chief explained.

"Additionally, since we’ve now signed a contract with Sincere Supermarket to supply Hexing Rice, if Hexing Rice sells well, then we will also produce a B-grade rice."

The village chief explained the distinction between A-grade and B-grade rice to everyone.

"In this way, we don’t have to sell our remaining rice to that factory at a low price," the village chief said. "I know the factory offered us a very low price because the quality of the rice we have now is not as good as A-grade. And we don’t want to waste the rice, so we have to sell it."

"I came back this time also to tell everyone not to worry for now. Let’s first see how Hexing Rice sells in the supermarket," said the village chief. "If it sells well, Sincere Supermarket will take our B-grade rice."

"By then, although the price for B-grade rice will be somewhat lower than A-grade rice, it will be much higher than what the factory offered."
