Chapter 228 Just thinking about it makes me feel like a fire is burning in my heart!
Su Wenchen was a little moved when he heard what his old leader said.
When he first relied on Secretary Li, he simply wanted to find a big shot in the city to support him. After all, he had just come out of the brigade at that time.
Now it is obvious that Secretary Li has treated him as a junior, rather than a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
After all, who would tell subordinates to choose what to do?
The work is assigned to you directly, and it is the organization that assigns the work to you. How can you not refute it?
You mean I just won’t do it?
Then you probably want to go to the farm to farm.
Su Wenchen was already torn between his conscience and his desires at this moment. To be honest, he really wanted to go.
Because although it is poor there now, it is like a blank piece of paper perfect for painting.
Coupled with his own golden fingers, he has too many ideas to implement there.
Moreover, Su Wenchen knew that in later generations, the Yellow River flood area had always been the slowest developing place in all provinces. Although it occupied a favorable geographical location and was a hub connecting the four top ten strong provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui, it was the slowest developing.
Even the best-developed northern Jiangsu region is still far behind southern Jiangsu. The southwestern Shandong region is also an order of magnitude behind the eastern Shandong region. The development of northern Anhui is obviously not as good as that of southern Anhui.
The only exception is Henan Province, because its main Yellow River flood area is in the eastern Henan region east of the provincial capital. Thanks to the radiation advantage of the provincial capital's close proximity, they are also the place that currently receives the greatest governance efforts.
Moreover, the capitals of several other provinces are basically far away from each other. In addition, resources are really limited now, so they must develop based on the cities around them.
Su Wenchen also knew that there were many factors that led to the lack of development, including historical disasters, industrial structure, transportation lags, and various policy and resource allocation factors.
He also knew that this was the last chance for development in this area because the sun had not set yet.
From Secretary Li's words, Su Wenchen also knew that the top leaders were still paying attention to this area and that they could still obtain sufficient policy support.
After the reform and opening up, with the economy as the development center, if this area wants to develop rapidly, it can only compete with other places.
At that time, with such a poor foundation that it was difficult to even get enough to eat, how could I compete?
At that time, I can only survive and wait for the support of my brothers.
Su Wenchen also felt that if he could really take advantage of this window of historical opportunity to develop this area, he could personally build a huge urban cluster comparable to the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.
The huge sense of mission and unparalleled sense of accomplishment brought about by this completion are simply self-evident.
Su Wenchen felt a flame burning in his heart just thinking about it.
Of course, he also knew that this would be extremely difficult, but at that time, reform and opening up had not yet begun. Apart from Beijing, Shanghai, and the industrial bases in the Northeast, the development of other cities was only good in the major provincial capitals, and the starting line of other cities was similar.
There is still nearly ten years to catch up, and with his golden finger, as long as the golden finger is strong enough, after the reform and opening up, the various mid-to-high-end fur and meat markets alone will be able to earn enough foreign exchange to develop themselves.
Then we will purchase various advanced equipment to feed back into the industrial development here.
When there are more industries and people's income increases, we can also build a number of model tourist cities along the Yellow River.
Su Wenchen felt that as a prophet with the help of a golden finger, as long as he didn't do anything outrageous, his development would not be too bad.
Could it be worse than waiting for support from my brothers all the time?
But Su Wenchen didn't want to let go of Lanshui Field either.
Because the white pigs have been bred to the second generation, and in this second generation, there are already several spotted pigs with black and white stripes that have inherited the white pigs' ability to quickly digest feed and the black pigs' strong disease resistance. Although they eat a little more, their growth rate is obviously faster than their brothers and sisters.
Therefore, as long as these pigs successfully produce a stable third generation and pass on this characteristic stably, the birth of a new breed can be announced.
Because it can be passed down stably for three generations, there will basically be no major problems.
It can be said that Su Wenchen started breeding pigs and rabbits at the same time, but pigs have been pregnant for too long, so of course they grow slowly.
Rabbits form a litter once a month, and it only takes a little over half a year for the baby rabbits to grow up and give birth to the third generation.
It takes about three or four months for a pig to be pregnant and give birth, plus more than a month for the piglets to be weaned, so basically half a year has passed. The third generation of rabbits has been born over there, but the second generation here has just been weaned.
Therefore, the earliest we can know the specific situation of white pig breeding is the second half of this year.
Li Mingyuan looked at Su Wenchen who was a little conflicted.
"What? Is there something you can't tell me?"
"Tell me about it, I'll see if I can help!"
Hearing the old leader say this, Su Wenchen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"Boss, the white pigs I've been painstakingly raising for six months are almost ready for slaughter. I'm a little worried!"
"We've reached the final stage. We'll know the details after the third generation of piglets are born around the end of the year."
"I'm afraid that if I leave, others won't take this matter seriously, and something unexpected might happen, causing all our efforts to fail."
After hearing this, Li Mingyuan didn't react at first and spoke directly.
"That kind of white pig is also being bred in other places, so your family is not the only one that's being bred."
"I'm now in charge of agriculture in the province. The white pigs you borrowed have been tried by almost all the big farms in the province."
"They've barely left the pigpen of the laboratory!"
However, as he was speaking, Li Mingyuan reacted instantly and stood up.
"What did you say?"
"Have you already cultivated the second generation? Have you confirmed that it has inherited the advantages of both sides?"
"Or is it just genetics? What about the infection rate?"
“Is it easy for multiple complications to occur?”
After listening to the old leader's series of questions, Su Wenchen knew that the other party had indeed learned about this breed of pig after coming to the province.
Otherwise, we would not know the breeding progress and general situation of this pig breed.
So Su Wenchen did not hide it.
"It has been confirmed that there are three black and white spotted pigs that have inherited the main advantages of both parents."
"In terms of adaptability, disease resistance and growth rate, they are significantly faster than other batches."
"But their appetite has also increased significantly. When they were just born some time ago, the sow's milk wasn't enough, so we went directly to the sheep production team and got a lot of goat milk to feed them."
"Now that they've been weaned, these three little piglets are growing very fast. They eat one-third more than piglets of the same age, and so far, they haven't contracted any disease."
"Now we just have to wait for these piglets to grow up and reach full sexual maturity, and then see what the genetics of the third generation of piglets will be."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Li Mingyuan was very happy, and left his seat, talking as he walked.
"Haha, it's good to eat! Only by eating well can you grow more meat!"
"You can't expect it to grow flesh just by drinking water."
As he spoke, he paced back and forth.
"I told you you're a lucky star!"
"This is such a great gift for me."
Then he started mumbling again.
"It's all that old fellow Zhai Shuwen's fault, otherwise I would have transferred you here long ago."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Old leader, the third generation hasn't been born yet, so it's not completely proven that it can be inherited stably."
Li Mingyuan waved his hand.
"I know. If the third generation really came out to confirm it, would I have to rush around here?"
"I think I've already called the Ministry of Agriculture."
"It's just that it's the second generation that has inherited it perfectly. It hasn't happened before. I've been to a lot of local farms and breeding pig testing sites recently."
"It's all about genetic growth rate, and the disease rate has always been high, especially when it comes to piglets, which are most prone to accidents."
"When you were little pigs, you weren't easily infected with diseases, which in itself is a huge improvement."
"Even if your second generation can't inherit perfectly, these few are the females. Through crossbreeding, there will definitely be ones that can. You've already made a big step forward."
"Can't you just hold it in a little longer and tell me the result?"
"You said this made me feel like I was stuck in the middle!"
"I always thought my Qi cultivation skills were pretty good, but today they were completely ruined."
To be honest, Li Mingyuan now feels that Su Wenchen is his lucky star.
Because Su Wenchen's breeding was successful, whether it was the Yuehua rabbit or the breeding pig.
These are all achievements in agriculture.
It can be said that not long after he took office, the other party gave him two big gifts.
Especially the latter, because on Yuehua Rabbit's side, the main achievement is economic. In the eyes of the top leaders, although money is important, it is far less important than pigs that can affect the people's livelihood across the country, because it is the pillar of stability.
Especially the political impact.
In the past, he thought that the provincial level might be his limit. After all, he was not young anymore, and without outstanding grades, he would probably not be able to get in.
But Li Mingyuan now found that it seemed possible to try to move up if he tried harder.
It’s true that I just said that Su Wenchen could bring surprises, and it happened immediately.
So after pacing back and forth for dozens of seconds.
Li Mingyuan sat back down, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.
"Since they were bred on your farm, I won't send anyone there. You must take good care of these piglets."
"If there is any accident, you can directly contact the provincial veterinary station for support. I will personally tell them about this later."
"Also, I will also say hello to your city. There will be no personnel transfers at your site during this period."
"As long as you can safely breed the third generation of breeding pigs, there's nothing else to worry about."
"As for the Yellow River flood area, you don't have to go there anymore. With this achievement, no one will stop you from reaching your limit."
Su Wenchen scratched his head when he heard this.
"Boss, I actually want to go to the Yellow River flood area."
Because there are still ten years before the reform and opening up.
If he rushed forward too fast at this time, he was afraid that the car would be destroyed and everyone would die.
Therefore, it is best to take it step by step and move forward steadily at your own pace.
Because with the speed of his progress, being young is no longer an advantage but a disadvantage.
Sometimes you need to pull your fist back properly so you can punch with greater force.
When Li Mingyuan heard what Su Wenchen said, he was suddenly confused.
"Are you sure? I wanted you to go there initially, firstly to let you settle down in that difficult environment, and secondly, serving in that difficult environment would make it easier to get promoted. If you transition there, then when you're promoted back later, no one else will complain."
"Now that you have the merits of the Moonlight Rabbit and breeding pigs, even if you are promoted out of turn, no one will complain."
"Let me tell you, as long as the breeding of the new breed of pigs here is successful, you will most likely be promoted to the ministry and be responsible for promoting this new breed of pigs nationwide."
"Once the promotion is complete, with your achievements and your age, if nothing unexpected happens, you can basically work your way up in the department step by step."
"Are you sure you still want to go to the Yellow River flood area?"
Obviously, Li Mingyuan felt that if Su Wenchen had made this choice before, it would have been correct, but now he could obviously go up more easily, so why did he choose such a thorny road for himself?
Su Wenchen knew that what Li Mingyuan said was right. At that time, he would most likely be promoted to the Ministry of Agriculture, and then promote it step by step, completing the tasks assigned by his superiors step by step. If nothing unexpected happened later, there was indeed a high probability that he would succeed.
But Su Wenchen couldn't guarantee that there would be no accidents. After all, the people in that kind of place were definitely the smartest of the smart, and Su Wenchen didn't think he could really outsmart them.
Although he has a general understanding of history, his advantage lies in the overall development strategy.
But if you try to play tricks on others, you are perfectly avoiding your own advantages.
There is no guarantee that the car will overturn, but there is a probability of it overturning.
Su Wenchen thought he was not a stupid person, but when it came to competing with the best people in the country, he thought it would be better to forget it!
As for the Yellow River flood area, to be honest, no one except me looks down on this place.
It should be said that if he didn't have a golden finger, he would not have been interested in this place.
The grain output is low and the industrial foundation is weak. Even if we can grow forage grass now, the current varieties are too single. Even if we can develop the animal husbandry industry, it is not as good as the prairie.
The only advantage that can be barely considered is that the population here is dense, so there is no need to worry about no one working. Of course, this will also increase the burden of food on the land here, so it is hard to say whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage.
So if Su Wenchen comes here to develop, he won’t have to worry about interference from others for at least ten years.
Because people who have the ability to interfere will definitely look down on this place.
And those who are interested in this shabby place are completely different from Su Wenchen!
Li Mingyuan saw Su Wenchen's silence and knew his choice, although he didn't quite understand it.
But he wouldn't help the other party make decisions on such matters.
“Let’s do this!”
"It's too early to talk about this now. Go back and think about it slowly!"
"Talk to your family. You don't have to worry about the Yellow River flood area. No one wants to go to that shabby place with salt and alkali everywhere."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have used this as an excuse to get people from Longshan Farm in our province."
"Those provinces are now unwilling to spend too much energy on something that won't see returns for a long time."
"I will call the Foreign Trade Bureau and there will be no problem with your declaration in the province."
"So, on your side, after you submit your application for the Yuehua Rabbit exhibition, please go back and take good care of the pigs. Don't let anything unexpected happen."
"If you still insist on going there to eat salt and alkali, I will try my best to help you negotiate with the higher-ups."
"After all, if a meritorious official voluntarily eats salt and alkali, and someone is forced to do so, the level of support from above will be different."
After saying that, he sighed.
"Maybe the older I get, the more I pay attention to gains and losses!"
"You young people have your own ideas, so try them out. With your age and achievements, you can spend decades there without any problems."
“Even if you don’t achieve anything in the end, the hard work alone is a valuable qualification.”
"Okay, go back and think about it yourself!"
"I'll notify the Foreign Trade Bureau."
Su Wenchen looked at the old leader seeing the guests off and nodded.
"Then, old leader, I'll be leaving first. Please take care of yourself. I'll let you know as soon as there's any good news."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Li Mingyuan smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health."
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Remember, no matter where you want to go, it will be beneficial for you to accumulate enough merit for yourself."
After leaving Li Mingyuan's office, Su Wenchen came out of the provincial administrative building.
Looking at the layers of steps below, they seem like layers of ladders of power.
This central administrative building is obviously much higher than the surrounding buildings.
Standing on the steps, Su Wenchen was silent for a moment as he thought about the information he had just obtained in the office.
Then he shook his head with some self-mockery.
"Too many choices doesn't seem like a good thing!"
This can be considered a happy trouble!
However, rationally, Su Wenchen still felt that going to the Yellow River flood area would have more development prospects.
If he could really develop a huge urban cluster comparable to the Yangtze River Delta.
That upper limit.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Well, I can only think about it in my mind.
Then Su Wenchen looked at the time and found that it was still early, so the Foreign Trade Bureau should not have finished yet!
Then he walked towards the office building where the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau was located.
After asking many people along the way.
Su Wenchen finally arrived at the Foreign Trade Declaration Section.
In the corridor, there is a long strip with various signs indicating a large number of departments.
Su Wenchen even felt as if he had come to a hospital.
As soon as I walked to the door of the Foreign Trade Declaration Section, I found that the door was not closed and all the declaration personnel from their city were inside.
Among them, Deng Hongxia was arguing with an official wearing a provincial foreign trade bureau uniform.
"Our bureau has completely followed the provincial standards and prepared all the necessary materials. Why are you giving me a reason for not passing the review?"
The other party waved his hand while sitting on the chair and said with a superior look on his face.
"I've already told you that there's a problem with your import and export qualifications. Your city clearly already has a textile import and export company approved by the province."
"Why don't you just apply in their name? They're all companies in Lan City anyway."
Hearing this, Deng Hongxia suddenly laughed out of anger.
"What do you mean they are all Lan City companies? This was declared by the Leather Import and Export Company. What does it have to do with Guan City Textile?"
"You said your qualifications are not good enough, what is wrong with that?"
"All the formalities were handled by our city. If there's anything wrong, I'll go and complete it."
The other party said directly and impatiently.
"If I say no, then no. Either you apply directly under the name of the Municipal Textile Bureau, or you apply to the Ministry of Foreign Trade yourself."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he sneered.
He knew that it was obvious that someone had given the other party a heads-up, otherwise the other party would not have such an attitude.
Fortunately, he contacted his old leader in advance, otherwise this matter would be difficult to handle.
As long as Secretary Li gave a greeting, Su Wenchen believed that unless the other party directly asked the top leader to give the order.
Otherwise, it will definitely not continue to get stuck.
But for a director of a provincial revolutionary committee at this level, how could he deliberately make things difficult for the foreign exchange-earning enterprises for such a matter?
Are you dissatisfied with your own progress?
Su Wenchen even felt that if this matter really got to the other party's ears, the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau would probably be the one to suffer.
So Su Wenchen didn't want Deng Hongxia to continue wasting time here with the other party because it was meaningless.
"Director Deng, since this officer says he's not qualified, let's go back first!"
"Regarding the qualifications, let's think of other ways."
I heard a sudden sound at the door.
The other party took a look and saw that Su Wenchen was so young. After hearing what he said just now, he immediately thought that Su Wenchen was from the Lan City Foreign Trade Bureau.
He said immediately with disdain.
"Who are you? Can't you knock before coming in?"
"The people who are popular in your Lan City Foreign Trade Bureau are just uncultured."
"This is like treating this place as your own home. You can come in and go out as you please!"
"Don't you even know where this place is? Do you think you can just barge in? What if some state secrets are leaked? Can you afford it?"
Su Wenchen sneered when he heard this and was too lazy to argue with the other party.
What a bullshit secret. Who would discuss secrets in the reception room with the door open?
In addition, he really has no intention of competing with people who think that their positions are also very impressive because the place where they work is very impressive, and even have a sense of superiority on their faces.
Of course, it was also because he had other things on his mind and didn't want to get involved in these arguments. There would be no benefit even if he won.
It is meaningless to simply take advantage of the other party with words but be unable to do anything about it in action.
Since the matter had already been discussed with Secretary Li, Su Wenchen just had to wait for them to come to him.
It's not worth wasting your breath on such things.
So Su Wenchen spoke directly to Deng Hongxia.
"Director Deng, let's go back first!"
"I've finished talking to my old boss. We'll just have to wait and see what he says. There's not much point in wasting time here with this guy."
After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Deng Hongxia also knew that the other party was determined not to give in.
She wanted to find the director of the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau, but he kept saying he was not there.
I also know that staying here will lead to no results.
"Okay, let's go back and see if we can find anyone else."
Hearing this, the other party said disdainfully.
"It doesn't make much sense yet, I'll give you something awesome!"
"I'm putting it right here. If I say no, it won't work no matter who you ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in and looked at the official from the Foreign Trade Bureau with a frown.
"What do you mean you can't?"
Then, seeing that there was only one clerk there, he asked with a frown.
"Where's your director? Why isn't he here?"
After hearing the sound, Su Wenchen turned around and looked towards the door with a look of surprise.
"Secretary Yu! Please come here in person!"
He didn't expect that the old leader didn't call, but actually sent his secretary to go there in person.
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other party pushed his eyes and said with a look of intimacy on his face.
"Why call me Secretary Yu? Just call me Brother Yu from now on. Director Li often mentions you to me!"
"This is your first time in the provincial capital! I'll take you on a nice tour after get off work."
"But you have to slow down, or I won't be able to keep up. I was just listening to Director Li talking for a while when you came down. I couldn't catch up with you even though I was jogging all the way."
When Su Wenchen heard what the other party said, he knew that the other party wanted to make friends, so he naturally would not refuse.
He showed an embarrassed expression.
"Brother Yu, I'm not worried about foreign trade!"
"I just didn't expect that I would be stuck in the formalities now."
"And we still don't know why the procedures are so long. I didn't expect the province now relies entirely on self-realization to file applications!"
Now that he had the chance, Su Wenchen naturally didn't mind giving this official a hard time.
To be honest, the other party is just a person who gets things done.
If it was just a perfunctory response, like something like a request from above, Su Wenchen really wouldn't bother with the other party.
After all, he is just a small clerk and cannot have the final say.
But the other party came up with this look of superiority, looking at them as if they were country people, which was entirely his own intention.
Although I don't understand where the other person's sense of superiority comes from.
But Su Wenchen felt that if he didn't give the other party a hard time, he could become a Bodhisattva.
After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Secretary Yu naturally understood, so he asked directly to the clerk sitting inside.
"Is this how your Foreign Trade Bureau does things now?"
"And since this is about earning foreign exchange, your director didn't even show up?"
"Also, are you the only one receiving guests at your Foreign Trade Bureau?"
"Where are the others? Don't even mention that they all took leave and didn't come?"
In fact, Secretary Yu didn't quite understand it either, because Director Zhu from the Foreign Trade Bureau had been trying to get closer to Director Li. She originally thought that she should just say hello and report it to the higher-ups as soon as possible, but now the other party clearly seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for Lan City's foreign exchange-earning enterprises.
What does this mean? Have you found a new backer?
Is it a demonstration?
If that's the case, he'll have to discuss it with Director Li.
So now Secretary Yu is really a little confused about the plans of the Foreign Trade Bureau.
After hearing what Secretary Yu said, the clerk was a little at a loss. The director had arranged for him to give Secretary Yu a warning first, but he didn't say that this matter had anything to do with Secretary Yu!
So when faced with the secretary's question, he didn't react at all at first, and it took him a while to come to his senses.
He knew that something unexpected seemed to have happened today, so he could only speak his best.
"Secretary Yu, the director is meeting with others upstairs. I'll go and call him!"
As he said that, he quickly left his seat and ran upstairs.
Secretary Yu also spoke to Su Wenchen apologetically.
"I'm so sorry, I really made you in Lan City laugh this time."
It was obvious that the Foreign Trade Bureau was deliberately making things difficult for Lan City this time. He really didn't expect this, otherwise he wouldn't have come here without even calling.
After all, the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau benefited from the achievements of Lan City, so he was a little confused about what the Foreign Trade Bureau had done this time.
After a while, there was a loud sound of running in the corridor.
A group of people hurried down from upstairs.
Even people from the surrounding departments heard the noise and walked to the door out of curiosity, watching the director of the Foreign Trade Bureau and several leaders running to the reception room of the Foreign Trade Bureau.
Some people who were good at doing good even made jokes directly.
"Director Zhu, what's going on with your Foreign Trade Bureau? Are you on a training run? You're taking your men for a jog inside the building!"
"If you ask me, go out for a run, don't let the building collapse and get us hurt."
Hearing this, many cadres from other departments around burst into laughter.
Only the relevant cadres under the Foreign Trade Bureau did not dare to laugh, but they held it back with great difficulty.
Hearing the jokes from his colleagues in the neighboring department, the director of the Foreign Trade Bureau was in no mood to retort, because he knew that if he couldn't handle the problem well this time, he would be in big trouble.
Now he really wanted to strangle the smart guy who gave him the advice.
The other party gave him an analysis and said that although Director Li came from Lan City, even if he had a preference for the industries in Lan City, he would definitely give priority to the city's textile industry.
After all, the city's textile industry was an achievement made by the other party when he was in office in Lan City.
The person who wants to apply now must be the result of the new secretary's strong push, who wants to prove that he is better than the previous one.
That's why he thought of helping the city's textile industry so that he could show his face in front of Director Li.
Now it seems that she did expose herself, but what was exposed was her butt!
You're just waiting to be kicked!
