Chapter 891: Getting Something for Nothing

Seeing that Professor Liu's attitude had softened, Zhou Ziwen continued:

"Professor Liu, our village is very confident in raising Landrace pigs."

"As long as you can provide piglets and technical guidance, our village will immediately start building a pig farm and make full preparations for raising Landrace pigs."

When Professor Liu heard Zhou Ziwen's affirmative answer, his doubts were greatly reduced.

However, Zhou Ziwen was just an educated youth from Dabazi Village, so he looked at Wu Dagang and the team leader.

Wu Dagang and the team leader saw Professor Liu's look and immediately understood what he meant.

Wu Dagang smiled and said, "Professor Liu, don't worry. Our village attaches great importance to the breeding of Landrace pigs."

"Although Ziwen is young, his abilities are obvious to all of us. If he proposes to raise Landrace pigs, we will definitely give him our full support."

Although at this moment he still didn't know what Zhou Ziwen was thinking.

But Wu Dagang believed that Zhou Ziwen must have his own ideas, and they just needed to support him.

"Yes, Professor Liu, Ziwen's decision is our decision, so don't worry!" The team leader also echoed.

After hearing what Wu Dagang and the team leader said, Professor Liu's doubts were further reduced.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since you are so sincere, I will discuss this with the college leaders as soon as I get back and try to give you a reply as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen knew that the matter was already half successful.

"Professor Liu, our village is looking forward to this cooperation. I believe that with the support of your college, our village's aquaculture industry will surely reach a higher level."

Professor Liu nodded. He also understood Zhou Ziwen's abilities and the potential of Dabazi Village.

He smiled and said, "Comrade Ziwen, I also believe that our cooperation will be very successful. After I discuss it with the college leaders, I will give you a reply as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Professor Liu and Zhou Ziwen discussed some specific details about raising Landrace pigs, including the breeding environment, feed ratio, disease prevention and other aspects.

Although Zhou Ziwen has breeding skills, his level is not very high.

As a professional agricultural expert, Professor Liu's advice and guidance are undoubtedly more professional and authoritative.

After an in-depth discussion, Professor Liu became more confident in Zhou Ziwen's breeding plan.

He decided to push this matter forward as soon as possible after returning, so that Dabazi Village could start raising Landrace pigs as soon as possible.

Everyone finished their lunch in a pleasant atmosphere.

Professor Liu and President Fu, accompanied by Wu Dagang and the team leader, continued to inspect work in the village.

Zhou Ziwen was very satisfied with this communication with Professor Liu.

He believes that as long as the Landrace pigs can be successfully introduced, the breeding industry in Dabazi Village will usher in new development opportunities.

Moreover, through cooperation with the Provincial Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College, they can obtain more technical support and resources, which is very beneficial to the long-term development of the village.

By the time President Fu and Professor Liu left, it was already afternoon.

"Ziwen, why do you want to raise pigs?"

After they left, Wu Dagang asked.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm also considering the development of the village."

"Landrace pigs are an excellent breed of pigs that grow quickly, have good meat quality, and have broad market prospects."

"If we can successfully raise livestock, it will not only improve the village's economic benefits, but also drive the development of related industries."

"But didn't Professor Liu say that their Landrace pigs are difficult to raise?" Wu Dagang was a little worried.

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said seriously, "Uncle Wu, Professor Liu is right. Landrace pigs are indeed more difficult to raise than other pig breeds."

"Then why do you..." The captain was a little puzzled.

"Haha, I do have some experience in raising pigs, Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhou, you guys should trust me! Raising pigs is actually quite simple. I bought some books on the subject and learned a lot about it."

Zhou Ziwen said confidently.

"Professor Liu also promised that if the cooperation is successful, they will provide technical guidance, which will make pig farming easier for us."

Wu Dagang and the team leader knew Zhou Ziwen very well.

I know he is a genius and learns things quickly. Since he said so, he must be sure.

And if this thing succeeds, it will be a great thing for the production team.

They looked at each other and saw the expectation in each other's eyes.

Wu Dagang patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Ziwen, since you are so confident, we will fully support you. Just go for it. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

The captain also nodded and said, "Yes, Ziwen, you are young and promising, and we old bones can't hold you back."

"If you need manpower or other resources, we will try our best to provide them."

Zhou Ziwen felt the trust and support of the two elders and was filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhou. Believe me, once our pig farm is completed, we will never lack meat to eat." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Haha, that's great."

Wu Dagang and the team leader also laughed.

"By the way, Ziwen, do you think Professor Liu's college will agree to our request?"

After laughing, Wu Dagang became a little worried again.

Zhou Ziwen nodded and replied, "Uncle Wu, I think it's very likely. Professor Liu is very interested in our plan, and he also understands the breeding conditions and potential of our village. Plus, their college has the mission of promoting new varieties, so our needs and their goals are consistent."

He paused and continued, "I have shown Professor Liu our village's determination and preparation. I believe he will gain support for us in the college."

Wu Dagang's worries eased after hearing Zhou Ziwen's words. He knew Zhou Ziwen was always thoughtful, and since he had considered these factors, the possibility of success was very high.

"Then we'll wait patiently for good news," Wu Dagang said with a smile. "However, we can't just sit there and wait. We still have to make preparations first. Ziwen, if you need any assistance, please let us know."

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "The most urgent thing at the moment is to determine the location of the pig farm and design its layout."

"We need a piece of land that is suitable for raising pigs but will not affect the village environment. We also need to prepare some basic breeding equipment, such as feed troughs and waterers."

"We start preparing so early, what should we do if Professor Liu doesn't agree?" Wu Dagang said with some concern.

Zhou Ziwen smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Haha, don't worry, Uncle Wu. Professor Liu will most likely agree to our request. After all, they have their own mission. If they fail to complete their mission, it will be difficult to get research funding in the future."

"Besides, I've been thinking about raising pigs before. Even if Professor Liu wasn't around, I was going to find someone else to buy them."

He has breeding skills and wants to improve the living conditions in the village. Pig farming is also a good project.
