Chapter 0078 Impeccable, Order Grabbing
Zhao Zhigang's expression remained unchanged, as if he had never seen Gu Tong before, and he asked:
"How many farm machines do you own? Do you have the relevant licenses and permits? Show them to us."
Gu Tong nodded slightly to Yu Supu, then went inside to take out his agricultural machinery driving/operation license and handed it to a staff member of the agricultural machinery office.
After looking at it, the man returned it to Gu Tong and said, "Director Zhao, their licenses and permits are all in order."
After listening, Zhao Zhigang grunted in agreement and continued, "Do you own any agricultural drones? Are you engaged in aerial spraying operations? Unauthorized drone flights are quite serious now, and you will be punished if it is verified."
"I own an agricultural drone, which has been registered under my real name and I have obtained an operator's license issued by the manufacturer. In addition, I have also purchased insurance, and all the relevant certificates and documents are complete."
Gu Tong wouldn't contradict the other party at this time, so he went back into the room, retrieved his credentials and documents, and handed them to the staff member from before.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, the other party returned the items.
Zhao Zhigang hadn't expected the other party to be so impeccable in terms of compliance. He had come today with the intention of finding fault, but ended up getting nothing.
He could only say sheepishly, "Thank you for your cooperation, then I won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, the group turned and walked out of the courtyard.
A cold smile played on Gu Tong's lips as she watched the other person leave.
However, he also felt fortunate, because if he hadn't obtained the drone operator's license, Zhao Zhigang probably wouldn't have been so accommodating.
In fact, Zhao Zhigang and others have already visited many places today. He is particularly concerned about aerial spraying operations and keeps telling everyone that when choosing aerial spraying services, you must find a large, reputable team, as small teams are unreliable.
His words made no attempt to hide his support for Honghe.
Although Honghe is an agricultural machinery cooperative, they have established an "Aerial Spraying Team" and also engage in aerial spraying operations.
Gu Tong didn't even need to guess; she knew Zhao Zhigang wasn't up to any good.
However, he didn't care. As the saying goes, time will tell, and he and his companions would eventually conquer one village after another.
Not long after, Dong Jun and Ma Dongwen came to visit together. They had also learned about the agricultural machinery office's inspection that day.
"It's alright, we have all the necessary licenses and permits, no one can find fault with us."
Gu Tong invited the two to sit down, completely unconcerned about the patrol.
Inspections fall under the purview of the Agricultural Machinery Office, and we should cooperate fully.
To be effective, one must be strong oneself. As long as we do a good job of compliance, we have nothing to fear.
"Yes, routine patrols are fine, but the fact that this guy surnamed Zhao kept getting the Honghe Aerial Spraying Team killed while he was on patrol is suspicious. I guess they knew you got the aerial spraying job, so that's why they put on this show."
Ma Dongwen knows many people, so he is well-informed and knows more than Gu Tong and Dong Jun.
He pointed out incisively that Zhao Zhigang's purpose in leading the patrol was actually to promote the Honghe Aerial Defense Team, and that his visit to Gu Tong was merely a way to kill two birds with one stone.
"Then let's each rely on our own abilities to take orders. By the way, Lao Ma, do you know the prices for aerial spraying operations at Honghe?"
Gu Tong frowned and then asked about the service fee.
"It seems like it costs 12 yuan per mu, and 15 yuan per mu for complicated operations, but I can't say for sure the exact amount."
Ma Dongwen was not familiar with aerial spraying operations, but he knew the prices.
Gu Tong nodded. With this price as a reference, he had a basic understanding of the situation.
The next morning, he went to the field and saw that the signs of pests and diseases that had previously appeared on the rapeseed and alfalfa had disappeared.
This gave him a new understanding of the effects of the [Insect Repellent Enhancer Liquid] and the [Disease-Eliminating Enhancer Liquid]. The effects are just too good!
However, he will not let his guard down and will keep a close eye on the changes in the fields. If he finds a problem, he must solve it in time.
Back home, Gu Tong called Wang Yu in Bulak Village, saying he wanted to go to the village to promote aerial spraying operations and asked him to help make arrangements.
"This is a good thing! Although there is a drone pilot in the village, he is always busy working in other places, and many people in the village want to hire a drone pilot but cannot find one."
Wang Yu was quite pleased to hear what Gu Tong said.
Lin Hao lives in Bulak Village, but the other party has recently taken on a lot of big orders, often involving hundreds or thousands of acres of land that need to be worked on, so he is nowhere to be seen.
Many villagers asked Wang Yu for help in finding drone pilots, and Gu Tong took the initiative to come to him.
"Okay, I'll head over there now."
Gu Tong hung up the phone, then went to the sheepfold to feed the sheep, and then drove straight to Bulak Village.
On the way, he kept lamenting that his influence was still too small and his publicity was inadequate, and many people did not know that he could provide aerial spraying services.
Upon arriving in the village, Gu Tong went directly to Wang Yu, who then took him on a tour of each household, and they immediately signed an agreement for aerial spraying operations on 800 mu (approximately 53 hectares).
Afterwards, Wang Yu escorted him to the village entrance.
"I heard you and Lin Hao have a good relationship. He's a bit arrogant and doesn't associate with anyone in the village. You could try to persuade him when you have time."
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
Lin Hao's problem wasn't just because he was busy; he also had a strained relationship with the villagers and never accepted any orders from them.
"I need to find out more about this before I get involved. Thanks for today, though. Come over when you're free, we can have a couple of drinks together."
Gu Tong did not express his opinion. He got along well with Lin Hao and did not think that the other party had any personality flaws.
So he couldn't say anything about it; he'd wait for another opportunity.
Wang Yu smiled and nodded. Gu Tong was about to get into the car when an SUV pulled up.
The car stopped in front of the two men. Wang Yu subconsciously stopped smiling, and the two Honghe salesmen jumped out of the car.
"Officer Wang, seeing off guests?"
The two glanced at Wang Yu and Gu Tong, and said with forced smiles.
They recognized Gu Tong, of course, and thought to themselves, "Oh no, we might be too late."
"Well, what's up with you two? If you want to get orders, go ask them yourselves. I don't have time for you."
Wang Yu didn't have a good impression of the people from Honghe. Zhao Zhigang from the Agricultural Machinery Office had previously helped Honghe's aerial spraying team with publicity in the village, which aroused his resentment.
Many people in the county know that Zhao Zhigang's brother-in-law works at Honghe, and that Zhao Zhigang and Li Yong have a special relationship.
"Then you go ahead with your work, we're leaving."
Without further ado, the two salesmen went into the village.
After asking around, they found nothing. After a little inquiry, they learned that Gu Tong had taken on a spraying contract for 800 mu of land in the village.
One of them quickly called Li Yong: "Manager Li, Gu Tong has arrived in Bulak Village ahead of us and signed a spraying agreement for 800 mu of land."
"Then what are you all standing there for? Go tell those companies that if they won't give us aerial spraying services, then they shouldn't come to us for harvesting services either."
In the past few days, Honghe has received a large number of aerial spraying operation orders in various towns and villages.
Although the 800-mu contract in Bulak Village was not large, Li Yong was unwilling to let Gu Tong succeed, so he once again resorted to the "bundled package".
Because combine harvesters are very expensive, often costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, most farmers don't own one.
Gu Tong and his group didn't have a combine harvester either; the only hay harvester they owned was from Aikebai's family.
Therefore, Li Yong's move was very insidious, directly hitting the four-person team's weak point.
The two salesmen then went door-to-door to do their work. When Wang Yu learned of this, he immediately sent a message to Gu Tong.
At this time, Gu Tong had not yet arrived home, so he immediately changed direction and returned to Bulak Village.
