Chapter 219 Now it seems that the Rex rabbit industry is giving me more and more surprises.
Looking at the photos sent by the Foreign Trade Bureau, Su Wenchen held a glutinous rice noodle in his hand and pondered secretly.
He actually didn't know much about fur before, and initially thought that the price was determined by the quality and feel of the fur.
Now it seems that color is also an important factor.
However, Su Wenchen thought about it and could probably understand that current technology should not be able to dye fur without damaging the fur at all.
Not to mention the risk of color fading due to artificial dyeing.
This kind of rex rabbit skin is generally used to make mid-to-high-end clothing and accessories, so it is naturally impossible to use artificial dyeing, which is currently extremely immature.
Otherwise, if people spend a lot of money to buy a piece and it fades after wearing it for a year, there is definitely no way to explain to these consumers, because at this time, even in the West, those who can afford this kind of mid-to-high-end fur must be at least middle class or above.
After Su Wenchen took a look at it, he found that the fur of the Rex Rabbit seemed to have some significance, especially after he cultivated it himself, the Rex Rabbit fur tended to be pure in color.
This way he can completely do it, and there is no need to feed the Rex Rabbit cubs from the surrounding brigades with breeding feed.
For their own farms, they select a batch of feed to feed and cultivate, and only cultivate the highest quality solid color Rex rabbit fur.
After all, if there is too much of something, it will not be so valuable.
In this way, if they can also earn a lot of foreign exchange in the market, then they will naturally become more confident.
Just like the Municipal Textile Department, why did they dare to stop production and even directly confront the new secretary? Moreover, they did not show any fear even when problems were found in both departments.
They even dared to organize other factories to protest together.
After all, they can earn foreign exchange, and it is actually very easy to do things with this big sign. Of course, Su Wenchen feels that the other party seems a bit too arrogant this time, and he is afraid that there will be no good ending in the end.
However, how much does this pure color rex rabbit skin cost and how to find a buyer is a problem.
After all, even the Foreign Trade Bureau doesn’t know the price of this pure color rex rabbit fur.
"Hey, Ali, if we have pure-colored rex rabbit fur, can we exhibit it at the Canton Fair?"
"ah?"
Jiang Li suddenly found it difficult to keep up with Su Wenchen's thinking.
"No, are you serious?"
"Isn't that kind of thing said to only appear in very rare cases? Do you already have one in your field?"
Having said this, Jiang Li shook her head again.
"Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to meet the standards for the Canton Fair. First of all, we can't produce this product stably. This is the first problem we're stuck with."
"Another issue is that the exhibition is facing a huge impact. Although it has not been suspended according to the Prime Minister's special approval, the requirements for product exhibitions have become much stricter."
"They're basically all bulk transactions. The reason why I could only sell to the Foreign Trade Bureau before is that we are too small now. Many factories are like this now."
"With our level of production, we can't even meet the standards of the Canton Fair!"
"The Foreign Trade Bureau's review is very strict. You can't just sell anything. Only items that we think could bring back a lot of foreign exchange for the country, or that align with the theme of 'self-reliance', can be put up for display."
"Generally speaking, everything is purchased directly by their import and export company and then exported together."
Su Wenchen understood what Jiang Li meant, because there were only so many booths, and if everyone rushed in and bought everything, it would become a vegetable market.
In short, the ones that can go up at present are either large state-owned enterprises or products that can earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country.
Or the exhibits are displayed to the public, generally focusing on the theme of "self-reliance".
According to Su Wenchen's understanding, this category basically includes industrial equipment such as machine tools developed by themselves under various blockades, or some of their unique handicrafts.
So if they want to be included in the exhibition, they either need to quickly increase production or comply with the theme of self-reliance.
If we want to increase production quickly, we currently need the cooperation of Dongfeng Commune, because without a large amount of feed, it is impossible to increase the number of Rex rabbits significantly even if they are more fertile.
As for feeding grain, even if you can earn foreign exchange, the risk is still very high because rabbits, unlike chickens, are not one of the main poultry stipulated by the state.
It is basically difficult to obtain approval from the city, not to mention that Secretary Li is not in office now.
So at present, quality is the best solution.
Moreover, Su Wenchen also thought, could he also take advantage of the theme of self-reliance?
If he could breed a rare colored Rex rabbit that was not available in the world now, wouldn’t that be a breakthrough?
Doesn’t this conform to the principle of “self-reliance”?
Although the original breed of rabbits were introduced, the breeding technology of rare colored rabbit breeds will definitely not be taught. Who says this is not self-reliance?
As for domestic machine tools and equipment, in fact, many of them are imported finished products. Then, after being disassembled by countless scientists, they gradually understood the principles inside and gradually developed their own domestically produced ones.
Although there is suspicion of plagiarism, who can build an atomic bomb directly from primitive people?
By then, they will have the market, reputation, and foreign exchange.
Although the US dollars earned cannot be spent directly and need to be exchanged into one's own currency, it is not without benefits. Otherwise, there would not be so many state-owned enterprises obsessed with earning foreign exchange.
If your factory exports a large share and earns a lot of foreign exchange, most of the local resources will actually be tilted towards you, and the local authorities will also give the local area a certain amount of foreign exchange usage based on the foreign exchange you earn.
If it is necessary to introduce foreign technology and production lines in the future, they will be given higher priority.
Just like their city's textile factory, the pork from the city's meat processing plant, and the eggs from their farm are actually supplied to other factories at a preferential price.
If you argue with him a little, he will say that you are deliberately delaying the task of earning foreign exchange.
Su Wenchen was also completely convinced. It seemed like you would feel weak if you didn't eat a few more bites of eggs, right?
Anyway, they have encountered this situation several times, and if they had to say who they were most reluctant to deal with, it would be the Municipal Textile Company.
He was too arrogant and relied on his large scale to demand the highest output every time and also offered the lowest price.
If it weren't for the signboard of earning foreign exchange, he would have been so arrogant that the grass on his grave would be three feet high.
Su Wenchen even felt that even with the protection of the Chuanghui brand, it might not be able to last for too long.
After all, the factory is not yours personally. As long as dealing with you will not cause major turmoil, he estimates that with Secretary Zhou's attitude, he might be able to deal with it. The city's textile industry acts like it is the best in the world in Lan City.
However, Su Wenchen didn't care about their fight. He was thinking that if this rare color of rex rabbit skin could be exhibited, the price would definitely be higher than the ordinary price!
At the very least, it cannot be lower than the normal purple-blue color, otherwise it is not called a rare color.
Su Wenchen calculated based on the breeding trends of the rabbits in the farm.
If the number of babies born in these litters continues to grow exponentially, it is estimated that there will be 10,000 to 20,000 by the end of the year.
By then it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!
It may not seem like much, but compared to others, this share is already quite a lot. After all, the total transaction volume of textiles in their city last year was more than 6 million US dollars, and this is a large factory with thousands of employees.
Su Wenchen read in the newspaper that the total transaction volume of the 1968 Spring Canton Fair was only US$120 million.
That includes all the large state-owned enterprises in the country!
Moreover, this is their first year, and with the brand name of Earn Foreign Exchange, they can also be known locally as Lanshi Small Textile.
In the future, their farm can also demand to eat pork and eggs, otherwise they will not have the energy to raise rabbits.
However, they support themselves, so there is no need to be as arrogant as the city textile industry, otherwise there will always be a time to settle the accounts.
So no matter what, Su Wenchen felt that making this happen was an extremely cost-effective thing, whether from the perspective of political asylum or the perspective of resource allocation.
So Su Wenchen spoke directly to Jiang Li.
"Ali, I really came at the right time today. I originally thought this Rex Rabbit thing was a dispensable side job."
"Now it seems that the Rex rabbit industry is giving me more and more surprises."
Jiang Li looked at Su Wenchen in surprise, who was a little excited.
"You really plan to put our furs on display!"
"Although my friend works in the Foreign Trade Bureau, she's also a low-level worker. It's not her turn to make decisions on such important matters."
"And if we want to exhibit, we must first apply to the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau. After approval, we still need to go through the preliminary review of the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau and the final review of the Ministry of Foreign Trade."
"It's not as easy as you think."
Su Wenchen nodded.
"I know, let's do our best!"
"And don't you want the leather we process to be directly exhibited and earn foreign exchange?"
Jiang Li pouted.
"Of course I thought about it. I even dreamed about it before, but the more I wrote to my friends, the smaller the chance seemed."
"Because a lot of state-owned enterprises are lining up! It's not that easy."
Su Wenchen stood up and hugged Jiang Li, comforting her.
"Don't worry, we will succeed if we work together."
"Even if I fail, it's no big deal!"
"Then just sell it to the Foreign Trade Bureau at the normal price!"
However, Su Wenchen also knew that if he sold it to the Import and Export Corporation under the Foreign Trade Bureau, not only would the price be extremely low, but it would also have nothing to do with their business in the future.
The foreign exchange earned will not be counted towards their local area, but will be directly counted towards the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
If the local government doesn't benefit from anything, it will naturally be impossible for it to allocate resources to you.
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Jiang Li nodded.
"Okay, let's give it a try. I'll contact my friend when I get back to see what materials and requirements are needed for the exhibition."
"Just focus on production and try to get something at the Canton Fair so we can earn more foreign exchange!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll work overtime on my research when I get back, striving to cultivate the highest quality fur. Then we can show the foreigners that even though our country's breeding technology is currently backward, we still have something that can shock them."
The two of them talked about love for a while.
Jiang Li looked at the twilight outside and said somewhat unhappily.
"How come time flies so fast!"
"It's dark in the blink of an eye."
Although she was a little reluctant to part with Su Wenchen, she still didn't want Su Wenchen to walk at night if she couldn't let him stay overnight after dark.
"Achen, you should go back earlier! Although the distance is not far, it's still not safe if it's too late."
After hearing Jiang Li's words, Su Wenchen looked outside and found that it was indeed getting darker.
If we delay any longer, the road will become very difficult to travel on once it gets completely dark.
Because he didn't bring a flashlight, and there were no street lights in the commune at that time, and when the moon was not that round, it was really dark.
"Okay, I'll leave first and come see you again on the weekend."
Jiang Li locked the office door and said with a smile.
"No need to wait until the weekend. Once I finish my work here, I'll go to the nitrate workshop and lead people to research tanning technology."
"After all, I can't hold you back. Otherwise, even the best leather will be useless if the tanning technology is not good enough."
Su Wenchen agreed with this. No matter how good the color of the Rex rabbit he bred was, it would still be unqualified if the tanning process was not done with good skills.
Especially considering that they will most likely be exported to Eastern and Western Europe in the future, Su Wenchen gave instructions as they walked.
"You don't have to pursue the chemical tanning technology of those large state-owned farms too much."
"Although our vegetable tanning process is slow and labor-intensive, if it's exported to Europe, especially for high-end leather like this, it might actually be a plus."
"They're quite particular about things like environmental protection, naturalness, and health, especially for people with a little money."
Su Wenchen also knew that if you don’t have money, you don’t have the energy to care about things, because just living is tiring enough, so who cares about environmental protection or something like that?
Jiang Li said thoughtfully after hearing this.
"So that's how it is. No wonder my friend said that since the year before last, the Ministry of Foreign Trade has been sending documents to various places, saying that they need to restore the traditional vegetable tanning process in exchange for foreign exchange."
"In the past two years, the old masters who mastered the tanning technology have stopped managing many places. So that's what they mean!"
"So it seems that the gap between us and those large tanneries in terms of exports isn't that big!"
"Because of the situation in the past few years, they all used chemical tanning. Now if they want to pick it up again, I guess they won't be much better than us."
As the two were talking, they had already walked to the carport at the door.
"Okay, no need to send me off, go back and rest!"
Jiang Li shook her head and refused.
"It's okay, our dormitory is right in the commune compound. Are you still worried about me getting into an accident when I go back?"
Hearing the noise on the other side, the gatekeeper of the commune came out and heard what Jiang Li said, and spoke directly.
"Don't worry, Director Su. I, Old Wang, will be guarding the gate. I won't let any unauthorized persons in."
"Besides, most people who don't live in the dormitory after get off work have left. I'll have to close the door after you leave."
Su Wenchen said with a smile.
"So it's me who delayed Brother Wang from closing the shop. I'm really sorry."
"No, I can't close the door until it's dark!"
When they reached the door, Su Wenchen spoke directly to Jiang Li who was following behind him.
"Okay, let's just drop it off here! Go back! If you go out again, it will be my turn to worry."
Jiang Li nodded, knowing that what Su Wenchen said made sense, but she was just a little reluctant.
"Then be careful."
Su Wenchen replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm a grown man, what do I have to worry about?"
"Okay, let's go back!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps, swung his long legs, and stepped onto the bicycle.
"Hey, slow down. It's getting dark now, so be careful not to ride into a ditch if you ride too fast."
Su Wenchen heard the voice behind him and waved his hand behind him.
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled. No one can ride me in the ditch."
Jiang Li, who was behind, stopped looking after seeing Su Wenchen disappear into the night.
The gatekeeper, Old Wang, joked.
"Director, Director Su has already left. If you can't bear to leave, just follow him."
Jiang Li glanced at the other person.
"Comrade Lao Wang, when you're guarding the door, you still need to concentrate and not focus on other things you don't want to close."
"Otherwise, what if someone takes advantage of the loophole?"
Hearing Jiang Li say this, the other party immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, because although Jiang Li looked easy to talk to, she was also the third most important person in the commune, and he was not someone he could joke with casually.
So he quickly said.
"I said the wrong thing. Director Jiang is right. I will definitely focus on guarding the gate of our commune in the future."
Seeing the other party say this, Jiang Li didn't say anything. After all, if you are too unreasonable in some things, you will suffer losses.
Since Su Wenchen was no longer in sight, Jiang Li had no plans to return to the office.
Walk directly to the side dormitory where the lights are on.
After all, there are still quite a few people living in the commune dormitories inside the compound, and they are basically young men and women who have been separated not long ago.
Because at this time, people who are married usually move out.
While riding his bike, Su Wenchen was thinking about how to breed rare colored Rex rabbits.
He even wondered if he could customize the color according to his own preferences. That would be amazing if that were possible.
After all, the rarer the color, the higher the price will definitely be.
Just as he rode to the village entrance, a black shadow rushed out from the pitch-black path.
Su Wenchen was so frightened that the whole car fell into the ditch in an instant.
At this time, only more than ten minutes had passed since he said that he had good skills and would not ride into the ditch.
Su Wenchen picked up the bicycle and said in an unhappy tone.
"Who the hell suddenly jumps out on the street in the middle of the night? It's going to scare people to death!"
At this time, a somewhat timid voice sounded.
"Director Su, I'm sorry, I want to ask you something!"
When Su Wenchen heard that it was a woman, his heart suddenly shuddered and his alertness instantly increased.
Damn it, they are not coming for me!
After all, it's dark now. If the other party pounces on us, I'll shout and call you a hooligan.
Then his future will be a bit bumpy.
Even if the problem is finally solved, it will still take a lot of effort to wash off the mud.
So Su Wenchen pushed the cart directly, and without going on the road, he pushed it directly along the ridge at the edge of the field towards the village.
And said while pushing.
"Well, comrade, I don't know you. If you have anything to say, just talk about it in the daytime. We can't talk about it at night."
"I'm telling you, don't come down, or I'll call for help!"
After hearing Su Wenchen say this, the other party seemed to realize that Su Wenchen had misunderstood, so he hurried to explain.
"Director Su, that's not what I meant. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of woman. I'll come see you tomorrow morning!"
Then Su Wenchen waited for a while downstairs, and when he found that the person seemed to have really left, he breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the car out of the ditch.
He immediately rode towards the door of his home without looking back, not daring to stop for a moment.
Afraid that some stranger would pounce on him.
When he rode to the door of his house, Su Wenchen felt that he would never be able to come home at night again.
Fortunately, it seems that the woman today did not mean that, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with it today.
Open the gate to the yard and move the bicycle over the threshold.
The lights in the yard were still on at this time.
Thanks to the light from their field, several nearby brigades have already connected their power lines, but most of them are still reluctant to turn on the lights.
Even their family is like this.
Father Su, who was sitting in the yard, said with some concern when he saw Su Wenchen coming back.
"Why are you back so late?"
"I heard from your sister-in-law that there's a new instructor in your field who likes to put accusations on people. Is that a problem?"
Since Su Wenchen's sister-in-law also works in the field, even if Su Wenchen doesn't tell her about some of the things that happen in the field, his family can basically know the general idea through his sister-in-law.
After hearing about what happened in the field, Su's father saw Su Wenchen coming back so late again and thought that the matter was serious.
Otherwise, Su Wenchen is usually the most active after get off work.
Their production team hadn't finished work yet, but Su Wenchen usually came back on his bike.
After hearing what Su's father said, Su Wenchen explained directly.
"Dad, what are you thinking? I went to the commune to see Ali. It has nothing to do with the instructor."
"Don't worry! Besides, she can't affect me at the moment."
Father Su nodded and felt relieved when he heard that Su Wenchen was going to the commune.
After all, although the limelight is not as big as before, there are still a lot of things to do.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to move up. The greater the power, the greater the risk.
Sometimes he actually wanted Su Wenchen to just return it.
Just live an ordinary life.
But after thinking about it, he realized that it would be useless to tell such things to young people. After all, when he was in his twenties, he would not listen if someone told him these things.
After all, when he was young, he was brave enough to fight the Japanese devils with guns with just a knife, and the old people in the village still couldn't stop him.
And sometimes risks are not always a bad thing. If he hadn't been so impulsive at that time, he wouldn't have met anyone in the army later, and he might not have been able to join the team later.
If I hadn't followed the team to fight and had always stayed in the village, I probably wouldn't have the knowledge I have now, so who can say for sure about such things?
He was silent for a moment, watching Su Wenchen wiping the car.
"Youngest, if you really run into a difficult situation, just come back and tell me I know a few people."
"It's not a big deal. I should be able to save your life."
When Su Wenchen heard what his father said, he felt warm in his heart, knowing that the other party was worried that Zheng Xianghong would frame him.
But Father Su quickly added.
"But if you do something stupid, I'll be the first one to tie you up and send you to a rehabilitation center."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Dad, don't worry, am I that kind of person to your son?"
"I didn't even have time to hide. Just now, a woman suddenly jumped out from the small path at the educated youth site."
"He said he had something to discuss with me, and I was so scared that I hid in a ditch."
As he spoke, he brushed off the dirt on his body.
"Look, he's covered in mud!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Su's father actually believed it, because it was not only Su Wenchen who was involved, but also the eldest and second eldest sons.
After all, he is the team leader, the eldest brother is a tractor driver, and the second brother is the manager of the earthworm breeding farm.
It can be said that they are all good locally.
Although it cannot be compared with big cities, these people can no longer be compared with big cities.
As for returning to the city, there is no hope at all now, because there are still batches of people being mobilized.
I could only sigh.
"Why are all the girls in the city like this?"
"Why can't you endure a little hardship?"
Su Wenchen smiled.
"You're making it seem like no one wants to endure hardships. But the girls in our team like to endure hardships, don't they?"
"Don't talk about girls. I don't like to suffer, otherwise why would I go through so much trouble?"
Moreover, Su Wenchen knew clearly that the reason why this kind of thing happened more often to female educated youth was entirely because the resources of each brigade were controlled by men.
If male educated youth wanted to make connections, they had far fewer people to choose from.
Basically, they are targeting the daughters of brigade cadres who have a little power.
However, Father Su did not like what Su Wenchen said. After all, they were people who valued dedication the most in their lives.
"Hmph, if that's the case, in my opinion, they should be sent down to be re-educated by the people."
"The country's policy is indeed correct. They should be sent down here to be properly trained. It seems they shouldn't be given special treatment."
"The members should be allowed to do what they are supposed to do. Tomorrow I will talk to several production teams about distributing all the work fairly. They can't just be weeding."
"They plow the soil when it's time to plow the soil, and compost the soil when it's time to make compost. They do whatever everyone else does."
After saying that, he went back to the inner room with his hands behind his back, obviously unable to listen to what Su Wenchen said.
Su Wenchen was also speechless.
My goodness, his words seemed to make the educated youth in their brigade suffer even more.
But Su Wenchen could only wish them well.
But it's all a matter of time.
We may be assigned some easy work in the next few months, but as time goes by, members will definitely become more and more dissatisfied. We have to go through this, after all, there are still more than eight years before the college entrance examination.
They can keep pulling out weeds, and they can pull out weeds for eight years.
There was no way the members would agree to this. Even if Father Su didn't make any arrangements tomorrow, they would have to endure the hardships of the farmers until the summer harvest.
Then they will find out how happy it is to pull out weeds now.
