Chapter 155: Forming a Chicken Farm Projection Team
At the temporary chicken coop that had been built, Su Wenchen found Miao Yuan and Hou Guozhong.
At this time, the two men were standing beside the chicken coop, looking at the open space in the distance, not knowing what they were discussing.
Su Wenchen walked over.
"Lao Miao, you came here so early in the morning, are you here to direct Master Hou to do his work?"
Hear Su Wenchen's voice.
The two turned around and saw that it was Su Wenchen, and Miao Yuan said with a smile.
"Manager, how dare I tell Lao Hou to work in the chicken coop? Didn't you say earlier that our farm should also build two acres of greenhouses?"
"What do you think of building it here? This is the farthest from the former steelmaking site. I just took a look around with Lao Hou."
"None of the land here has been affected. We can reclaim five or six acres without any problem."
"Among the areas we have fenced off, this is the only area that is unaffected."
"Other places have small iron smelting furnaces built, which are used to bake iron in pits one by one, which greatly affects the planting."
After hearing Miao Yuan's words, Su Wenchen looked around.
"It's possible, but it's far from the river here, so it's not that convenient to use water."
"But our current focus is still on breeding, so a few acres of greenhouses are not too troublesome."
Hou Guozhong gave a timely reminder at this time.
"Manager, I think it would be better to dig a few deep wells in the chicken coop. I have found dozens of chickens suffering from diarrhea and enteritis in the temporary chicken coop this month."
"When I was with your brigade, the chickens rarely got this disease."
"So I think the problem lies with the water. Your team basically drinks well water, but after coming here, we are now drinking river water."
"Our river doesn't flow very fast, and there are a lot of messy things in it."
"So for drinking water, we'd better drink well water like the surrounding brigades."
After hearing this, Su Wenchen thought about it carefully.
It seemed that although their brigade was not far from the river, no family drank water from the river.
Basically, we drink well water.
Even Su Wenchen himself had to fetch water from a well not far from his home.
It's just that he was very slow in pumping water.
Others can fill a bucket with water twice, but he needs four times.
Anyway, every time he shook the rope for a long time, the broken bucket still floated on the water.
It swayed left and right, but it just wouldn't sink, thanks to the water that splashed in when it hit it hard.
For Su Wenchen, there is some skill involved in fetching water.
However, as the youngest in the family, he still has many advantages. Usually, when his eldest brothers fetch water, they will also help him fill the tank.
Therefore, he rarely pooped during normal drinking, except when Jiang Li needed to wipe her body.
Only then would I ask him to fetch water.
So regarding Hou Guozhong’s proposal.
Su Wenchen felt that they should indeed drill a few deep wells, and it would be even better to build a batch of pressurized wells.
My memory shows that water pressure wells have appeared now.
But now it is still concentrated in the residential areas of the county, and there is basically a public water pressure well for every few streets.
Provide living water to residents.
As for tap water, I had never seen this thing in my original memory, but when Su Wenchen went to the city.
I found that the municipal government offices do have running water.
As for the residents! He didn't know, but he estimated that at most those who were passing by might be provided with water, but it was unlikely that they would be connected to the water supply pipeline.
"Miao, what do you think?"
"How about using all the pressurized wells? This way, all the wellheads are sealed, which not only prevents accidents, but also makes the water less likely to be polluted."
Miao Yuan also agreed very much.
"Director, digging a well shouldn't be a problem. We can just go to the county water conservancy bureau and the county geological team. But this water pressure well may be difficult to dig!"
"Many counties need this now. After all, compared with centralized water supply stations that consume a lot of manpower and material resources over a long period of time, this type of water pressure well consumes much less manpower and material resources."
Su Wenchen also knew that the water pressure well could be popularized on a large scale in the future, which meant that this thing must have been tested by the masses.
Because it is an inconvenient thing, it is impossible for many rural areas to still use it after the new century.
Compared with centralized water supply stations, this type of water pressure well is obviously much less troublesome and requires much less maintenance.
In fact, their chicken farm now uses a centralized water supply method, which directly uses a water pump to pump water from the river, and then transports it to the chicken coop through buckets and other containers.
However, this will not only waste fuel, but also require special people to transport water.
This is also why in this era, any small factory has to have hundreds of people.
Large factories have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of employees.
The main reason is that the degree of mechanization in this era is too low. Many places don’t even have running water, and special people are needed just to fetch water every day.
It can be said that almost all work needs to be done by people.
In this way, the more people there are, the greater the logistical pressure will be, and more people will be needed.
In addition, Su Wenchen also wanted to take this opportunity to dig a well for his home. If a water pressure well is installed, it would be much more convenient to use water.
For the county well-drilling team, since they were already here, they probably wouldn't refuse to visit their brigade on the way.
Besides, it’s not like Su Wenchen doesn’t intend to pay.
However, after hearing what Miao Yuan said, Su Wenchen felt that it might be a bit difficult to get the water pressure well from the county.
"Lao Miao, it's hard to get water wells pumped in the county, but what about the city? Which department is in charge?"
When Miao Yuan heard this, he looked at Su Wenchen hesitantly.
"It seems that the Agriculture Bureau is promoting it, but because the promotion effect is so good, it is now more difficult to get this thing."
"But if we go to the city to find a solution, we have nothing in our hands, and I'm afraid no one will buy my proposal!"
Miao Yuan had actually been to the city quite a few times, but he always went to get things that were not on the approval slip.
Those who are a little short of money won’t buy it.
Some would hint to him to ask their manager to come forward. To put it bluntly, at this stage, people don't value his face.
When Su Wenchen heard this, he looked at the other party unhappily and said.
"Old Han just told me that there is a shortage of coal, and here he is shouting that there is a shortage of pressurized water wells."
"So I, as the field manager, am here to serve you! I'm your logistics support!"
When Miao Yuan heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he was the head of the logistics department, and he had to figure out how to handle these things.
"Director, please listen to my explanation. The main reason is that we don't have anything in our hands right now. No one would believe me if I went out to speak!"
"But don't worry, as long as our eggs are on the market by the end of this year, everyone will know that we have something on our hands."
"In the future, you will definitely not need to show up in person for such things."
"If we need anything, we can just take it and exchange it for resources. After all, even if the other factory doesn't lack eggs, it still lacks other things. The most we can do is ask for help a few more times, and we will definitely be able to exchange for something!"
For Miao Yuan, he feels confident when he has something in his hands in the farm, which is why he is more keen on growing vegetable greenhouses.
This is if they can produce off-season vegetables this winter.
He couldn't even imagine how wonderful life would be.
At that time, the poles were reversed.
The pressure you have to endure in various factories in the second half of this year cannot be in vain.
If you don't come up with something good, they won't be so easy to deal with.
Su Wenchen actually understood Miao Yuan’s current difficulties very well.
To put it bluntly, although they have built the chicken farm, you have nothing. Who knows if you can succeed in the end with just your mouth?
Other factories are not fools either.
Except for the supplies approved by the city, the rest are all redundant.
If you want something unexpected, you can exchange it with eggs or chickens. If you just rely on your mouth, it will definitely not work.
For other factories.
Who knows whether your chicken farm can continue to operate? The example of Shiquan Chicken Farm is still here to remind us.
That's it.
Even the chicken farms that once proved themselves are now in decline.
Not to mention that you are the only one who has built a chicken farm that has not produced even half a pound of eggs, so other people will naturally be suspicious.
This is also what Miao Yuan feels embarrassed about, because he is actually representing the chicken farm and he personally owes a favor.
But now there is nothing in the market, so naturally even fewer people will buy into his business. It’s okay for ordinary things, but for scarce resources like coal, people really won’t give him face.
For Su Wenchen, when he went to the city to ask for help, he was actually using his own face.
People were not helping him because of the chicken farm, but because of him and the people behind him.
To put it bluntly, even if your chicken farm goes bankrupt, as long as there is a big boss standing behind you, you can make a comeback at any time.
Su Wenchen knew that for most of the smart people in the city.
At this stage, the reputation of the chicken farm is far less stable than one's own reputation.
Because even if the chicken farm fails to get off the ground, as long as there is someone standing behind you, others will have plenty of opportunities to get back at you for the favor.
If the chicken farm is established, Su Wenchen's connections will naturally be more useful, and he can still get goods from the chicken farm.
After all, he can represent the chicken farm, but the chicken farm cannot represent him.
So it is clear what choices these people will make now.
So Su Wenchen looked at Miao Yuan and made arrangements directly.
"Okay, I also know the difficulties you are facing. I will find a way to get the coal, and I will go to the city to ask about the water well on the way."
"For well digging, please contact the county's geological team and well digging team to come over and dig a few more wells."
"The chicken house also takes into account agricultural water use. It would be best to dig two deep wells."
"Rest area, just dig a normal well over there."
Hearing this, Miao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Su Wenchen would think that he was deliberately shirking his responsibilities.
After all, it is really difficult to do things without the goods, and he dares to make promises casually like the field manager.
Even if he said this, he wouldn't have the ability to make it come true.
"Don't worry, Director. I will definitely arrange this. However, the cost of a deep well is much higher."
"If we drill an ordinary well of 20 to 30 meters, we can basically get down within 1,000 meters."
"If it's a deep well, 50 to 60 meters deep, 3,000 to 4,000 yuan is enough. But if it's a well 100 meters deep, I'm afraid it will cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. Even if there are big rocks, I'm afraid it may be difficult to dig it out even if you spend tens of thousands of yuan."
"Isn't our cost a bit too high? I think it may not be worth it."
In Miao Yuan's opinion, they have spent almost 40,000 yuan in the two months since the construction of the chicken farm began.
The majority of them are various basic building materials, such as cement, steel bars, bricks, etc.
Because even though there is an approval slip, the low price doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay a penny.
With such a large purchase volume, it is actually not a small amount of money.
Therefore, Miao Yuan felt that it was not cost-effective to spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to drill two deep wells, after all, the farm had not made any profit.
He feels anxious because he has to spend money every day!
It was like this in Shiquan before, the money in the farm was always going out and not coming in, and later on they started to save money on food. He didn't want it to be like this here.
Because he was in charge of logistics, if the food quality plummeted, he would be the first one to be scolded by the employees in the farm.
Su Wenchen frowned slightly when he heard this.
He didn't expect that digging a deep well might not be very cheap in this era, but the price of more than ten thousand still shocked him.
After thinking about it, Su Wenchen made the arrangements directly.
"The price of this 100-meter deep well is a bit expensive, let's just focus on drilling ordinary wells!"
"If we really encounter a severe drought, we can find a well-drilling team to come and dig now!"
Su Wenchen also knew the current financial situation of the farm. It would be a waste to spend tens of thousands of dollars to dig a well.
Because there are many things to be built in the back field.
Now that he is the head of the family, Su Wenchen can especially understand the saying that a broken family is worth a fortune.
Because as the first industry to be built, it can be said that money is required in every aspect.
Even now the roads in their field are still dirt roads.
There is no time to repair even the cement road.
The staff dormitories in the rest area are also ordinary temporary houses, and they are the kind that can accommodate eight people.
As for things like auditoriums, factory guesthouses, and staff clubs, they were standard features in most factories in that era.
There is not even one left.
However, although there is no entertainment during this period, most employees can understand it.
After all, the site is just newly built and nothing can compare to a mature factory.
This is also why Su Wenchen couldn't say no to the gift given by Zhang Qianjin in Shanghai.
For their field.
A movie projector can indeed effectively alleviate the spiritual needs of employees.
Think of this.
Su Wenchen added to Miao Yuan.
"By the way, I also need to find two people to go to the projection team of the County Cultural Bureau for two days of training for the projector I brought back."
"Although our studio is newly established and the publicity department has not yet been formed, it is still necessary to establish a projection team in advance."
"There is a lot of physical work on the site right now. Arranging a movie for employees once a week can effectively ease everyone's grievances."
Miao Yuan naturally agreed with this matter very much.
Because even he can only watch a movie a few times a year, let alone the employees under him.
Even for those employees who live in the city, no one would spend money to go to the cinema often.
At most, I would take my partner to the movies when I was on a blind date.
After all, a few cents may not be a lot, but it is definitely not a small amount. For most people, it is more cost-effective to eat a big meat bun.
So he said directly.
"I think it's okay. Besides, you copied more than a dozen movies this time. Even the movie theaters in the city don't have as many movies as we have now."
"If the staff knew they could watch a different movie every week, they would be so happy."
