In fact, Xia Xiang had already anticipated this outcome, and knew that it was almost impossible to prevent it.
However, the things Xia Xiang sells are all processed through craftsmanship, but the gadgets sold by the villagers are all shoddy, which greatly affects Xia Xiang's reputation in the scenic area.
"Okay, I get it."
Xia Xiang didn't get angry as Lu Gang thought. He just said something calmly and then acted as if nothing happened.
"Xia Xiang, why aren't you angry at all?"
Lu Gang didn't expect Xia Xiang to be so calm. When he found out about this, he almost got angry and started a fight with the nearby villagers.
"What's the use of being angry?"
Xia Xiang glared at Lu Gang with some hatred. It seemed that he was still too young and could not stand alone.
"Then what should we do now? We can't really let those villagers compete with us for the market!"
Lu Gang was a little dissatisfied. It was hard for them to start this business, so how could they let it go so easily?
Human hearts are, after all, selfish.
Xia Xiang saw that Lu Gang was still unconvinced, and quickly warned: "Don't worry, I know what's going on, don't go and cause trouble for me."
That night, Xia Xiang came to Director Niu's house carrying some good wine brought from the county town.
"Xiaoxia is here, sit down quickly."
When Director Niu saw Xia Xiang, his expression was slightly unnatural. It seemed that he could already guess the purpose of Xia Xiang's visit.
It's fair to say that Xia Xiang is already sensible enough in handling affairs, and almost everything that needs to be taken care of has been taken care of.
But he had only been back for two days, and there was such a big problem with the business in the scenic area. Director Niu had taken the benefits, but the matter was not done well, so he naturally felt a little guilty.
Xia Xiang didn't mean to blame Director Niu at all. After all, he also knew that although Director Niu was the director of the management committee, the scenic spot was in the village, and he could not go against the nearby villagers.
"Director Niu, I had something to do at home a few days ago, so I went back. As soon as I returned to the scenic spot, I heard that something happened in the scenic spot?"
Xia Xiang was still very polite. He didn't ask questions, but asked in a consultative tone.
"Xiao Xia, you should also know the matter. It is indeed difficult for your Uncle Niu to handle this matter."
Director Niu said helplessly.
"Uncle Niu, I know you are also in a dilemma. After all, the scenic spot is in the village. It is really not good to offend these villagers too much."
Xia Xiang nodded and said politely: "I'm not here today to embarrass Uncle Niu. I just want to ask Uncle Niu to be a middleman. Can you help contact the villagers who want to do business in the scenic spot?"
From the beginning, Xia Xiang never thought about monopolizing the scenic spot's business. After all, handicrafts themselves did not have much technical content. As long as the villagers were willing, it would be easy for them to learn his tricks.
Since we cannot have a monopoly, we can only find ways to achieve a win-win situation.
"You want to contact those villagers?" Director Niu looked at Xia Xiang in surprise, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.
He originally thought that after Xia Xiang came back, he would definitely complain to him. After all, he had promised Xia Xiang to cover his business in the scenic spot.
But not long after that, the nearby villagers came to snatch the food from their mouths. Even if it were me, it would be difficult for me to swallow this breath.
But Xia Xiang's tone didn't seem to mean confronting the villagers, but rather meant to give in.
It seems that I underestimated Xia Xiang's measure at the beginning.
"Yes, I also know that it is difficult for you, Uncle Niu. The scenic spot is in the village. We are doing business here. The villagers will inevitably have no idea when they see it. I can't really fight with the villagers and let Uncle Niu do it."
It’s not difficult to do.”
"So I thought of a way to see if we could start this business together. As the old saying goes, only by being friendly can you make money."
Xia Xiang's serious tone made Director Niu breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, if Xia wanted to really have a conflict with the villagers, it would be really difficult for him.
"Xiaoxia, do you really think so?" Director Niu asked tentatively.
"Uncle Niu, I can't lie to anyone, but I really think so."
Xia Xiang nodded and smiled.
"Okay, if you really think so, it will be easy to handle. Uncle Niu will help you call the villagers over tomorrow, and then you can have a good talk. If there is any business, we can do it together."
Director Niu patted his chest and assured, Xia Xiang was so knowledgeable, which made him feel much more relaxed.
After saying goodbye to Director Niu, Xia Xiang quickly returned to the rest area of the scenic spot. As soon as Lu Gang came up, he asked: "How is it? Is Director Niu on our side?"
Lu Gang didn't know Xia's purpose of going to Director Niu, and thought he was looking for Director Niu's support, so he was excited and gearing up.
In the past two days, the villagers who were doing business in the scenic area often had conflicts with him, and he was feeling angry.
"What are you thinking about? You should be more honest with me tomorrow, don't act recklessly, and listen to me on everything."
Xia Xiang gave Lu Gang a rollicking look. This guy was still doing the same thing outside as before. Whenever something happened, he would try to solve the problem with his fists.
…
The next day, Director Niu called the villagers over as promised.
"Dear folks, I am Xia Xiang. I believe the folks here should know that I am such a person. The current business in the scenic spot was indeed my idea from the beginning."
"Yesterday, I heard that some villagers seemed to be very interested in our scenic spot business."
Xia Xiang said it politely, and the villagers couldn't help but laugh beside him. It was rare for someone to talk about robbing business in such a fresh and refined way.
"As for me, I didn't bring the villagers here today just to cause conflict with you."
"To be honest, what I want to tell the folks here today is that if you really have ideas about our scenic spot business, I have a suggestion. I don't know if you want to hear it."
As soon as Xia Xiang said this, the villagers were in an uproar.
"Young man, what do you want to do?"
Soon, someone among the villagers asked loudly in confusion.
Seeing someone chatting with him, Xia Xiang suddenly showed a smile on his face: "It's very simple. I can let the villagers continue to do this business in the scenic spot, but there are a few conditions."
"What conditions?"
Xia Xiang continued: "First, whoever wants to do this business in the scenic spot in the future cannot continue to do it secretly and must make a note with Director Niu."
"Second, anyone who wants to do this business in the scenic spot must get the goods from me and cannot sell shoddy and inferior products to tourists privately."
Xia Xiang proposed these two conditions just to maintain the market. The market he finally built cannot be destroyed by these villagers.
Moreover, in this way, as long as he controls the supply of goods, the villagers will have to look at his face if they want to do business in the future.
"How can you be so kind?"
Someone in the crowd asked suspiciously.
Xia Xiang smiled and said: "Folks, it's not that I have good intentions, but I don't want to destroy this market that has been built with great difficulty."
