Chapter 0079 In-flight Accident, Head-on Confrontation
"Xiao Gu, you've come at the right time. Honghe's salespeople are trying to blackmail us with bundled packages, and we're in a real bind. Although we don't like Honghe, we still need help with the harvest during the fall. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?"
When Gu Tong found Wang Yu, he saw the villagers who had previously signed the agreement with him sitting inside the house.
They all resented Honghe for using its monopoly to raise prices every year, but they were also worried that no one would help with the harvest in the fall, so they were all in a dilemma.
"Of course I have a way to solve your problems. Our group already has a hay harvester, and we are planning to buy a general-purpose combine harvester next. Harvesting wheat, rapeseed and other crops will not be a problem."
Gu Tong knew that this was not the time to preach; she needed to give the other person confidence.
So he immediately assured them that the harvesting operations of these customers would not be affected.
"Why didn't you say you could also provide harvesting services? You made us worry for ages. Oh well, come early tomorrow to do the work. I can't be bothered with Honghe's people."
The customers dispersed in a row, and their previous worries vanished in an instant.
They had long been fed up with Honghe's arrogance and domineering attitude, and now that they had a better option, they were immediately relieved.
One of the young men even turned around and made a face at Gu Tong, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Wang Yu then said, "You really have harvesters? This is no joke. If you can't keep your promise, they will definitely demolish your house."
"Don't worry, I never lie."
Gu Tong smiled slightly, exuding an aura of extreme confidence.
Wang Yu didn't say anything more and once again escorted the other person to the village entrance.
The next day.
Gu Tong and Ai Kebai arrived early in the morning to carry out spraying operations.
This period is the peak season for various crop diseases and pests, and most farmland needs to be sprayed with pesticides and foliar fertilizers.
The two men's job today was simply spraying pesticides, and the fee was 10 yuan per mu (approximately 0.16 acres). The pesticides needed to be purchased by the individuals themselves. However, the customers were well-prepared; the pesticides were delivered as soon as the two men arrived at the fields.
Gu Tong took Aikebai to dilute the pesticide, filled the solution, installed the battery, and then began the spraying operation.
Ai Kebai performed very well, his skill in controlling the machine was constantly improving, and he was already able to keep up with the work speed that Gu Tong had deliberately slowed down.
Gu Tong didn't go live today, but he still habitually set up his phone to shoot video footage.
Just then, two people from the Honghe Aerial Spraying Team arrived, also to carry out spraying operations.
Yesterday, Honghe's sales representatives failed to poach Gu Tong's clients, but several villagers still succumbed to the "bundled package" offer, and Honghe's sales representatives secured a contract for spraying operations on 700 acres of land.
"Brother Gu, are they trying to challenge us?"
Even though Aikebai made a casual joke, Gu Tong didn't dare to relax at all.
The two sides' work areas are very close, so be careful when working to prevent the other side from causing any trouble.
"Aikbai, focus, don't encroach on their airspace."
Gu Tong rallied his spirits, prioritizing safety and high quality over speed.
As it turned out, what he feared most came to pass. He and Aikbai almost simultaneously turned their drones around ahead. For some reason, one of Honghe's drones suddenly veered off course and flew straight towards Aikbai's drone.
Ai Kebai panicked immediately. After all, he was a novice and seemed a bit overwhelmed when dealing with the unexpected situation.
"Aikbai, reduce altitude and fly towards my route."
Gu Tong subconsciously sensed the danger and immediately helped Ai Kebai replan the flight path.
If this cannot be avoided in time, it will result in a tragic collision between the two aircraft, causing at least property damage and at worst injuries, with very serious consequences.
Without a second thought, Ai Kebai followed Gu Tong's orders and the drone immediately changed course, cutting into Gu Tong's drone's path.
Gu Tong stared at the control panel, then suddenly pulled his drone up, narrowly missing Ai Ke Bai's drone.
Seeing that he had not achieved his goal, the pilot of Hongheda piloted the drone back to his own airspace.
"What have you done? You're all scoundrels!"
Ai Kebai retrieved the drone, then rushed over and pointed at Honghe's pilot, cursing him.
"It's normal for accidents to happen in such a small airspace. Besides, you also bear some responsibility."
Not to be outdone, Honghe's pilot retorted directly.
Gu Tong walked over as well, and seeing their nonchalant attitude, she couldn't help but fly into a rage: "Don't be so smug! This isn't over yet, we'll see."
After saying that, he called the police.
There's not much to say about this; the other party definitely did it on purpose.
In fact, the pilots from Honghe did it on purpose, because they had received instructions beforehand to create the appearance of an unintentional collision.
Honghe isn't afraid of losses; they have more than ten drones, and losing one or two can be manageable. But Gu Tong and his team only have two drones, and the loss of even one would affect their ability to take orders.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tong was not only experienced but also decisive in handling the situation, thus preventing an air accident.
Police received the call and quickly dispatched officers to handle the matter.
Honghe's pilot naturally refused to admit that it was their fault, spouting nonsense and directly shifting the blame to Aikebai.
Ai Kebai almost punched someone, but Gu Tong held him down firmly, and he couldn't break free at all.
"Quiet! I'll handle this."
Gu Tong whispered a few instructions, then picked up the phones from the camera positions.
"Officer, I have video evidence; they definitely did it on purpose."
Simultaneous shooting from multiple cameras produces really good results.
After watching the video, the police officer couldn't help but shake his head. What's the use of being stubborn? The facts are there.
Subsequently, the two pilots from Honghe were severely criticized, and on the grounds that the pilots had intruded into other people's airspace and intended to collide with another aircraft, they were taken back to the police station.
Ai Kebai was satisfied. He then called Kuweiban and told his father to keep an eye on the matter and not let the kid off easily.
Afterwards, Gu Tong and his colleague continued spraying.
They completed their spraying task around noon.
Several customers came over to see the results and then gave it a thumbs up.
Gu Tong and Ai Kebai sprayed the medicine very evenly, ensuring the effectiveness of the medicine without wasting it, demonstrating a good level of control.
The customer then paid the full amount, and Gu Tong and Ai Kebai drove away.
This time, Gu Tong stopped worrying about the big picture and started editing and uploading the video as soon as she got home.
The video immediately caused a huge uproar in the county. Honghe's domineering style had long aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and this video finally ignited everyone's anger.
Many people reported Honghe to the county authorities, demanding an investigation and punishment.
Public opinion quickly escalated, and the county government immediately responded by fining Honghe 10 yuan.
The police station also imposed an administrative detention of 10 days and a fine of 1000 yuan on the driver responsible for the accident, which barely managed to quell the matter.
Gu Tong, the person involved, remained calm. He knew that the conflict between himself and Honghe was irreconcilable, and that this kind of thing was not the first time, nor would it be the last.
However, he had gained quite a bit in the past few days, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the messages that were scrolling by.
[Effective Operation (Aerial Spraying), Shennong Value +80]
[Influence expands, Shennong value +100]
Shennong Value: 954 points
......
The biggest surprise was the increase in followers, which reached 1 for the first time, bringing the total number of followers to 28012.
The impact of Gu Tong's previously released videos far exceeded his expectations, which is the main reason for the rapid increase in his number of followers.
In addition, the total cost of this aerial spraying operation was 8000 yuan, of which he received 5500 yuan and Ai Kebai received 2500 yuan.
Gu Tong's recent expenses were very low, only a few hundred yuan, and her bank account balance showed 34.5 yuan.
