Chapter 351 Director! The advance team of the visiting delegation is coming!
Just as the old man and Su Wenchen were talking.
A fisherman carrying a fish basket on his back, wrapped in a thick coat, walked into the yard, rubbing his hands.
It seemed like he saw a jeep outside.
The fishermen placed their baskets filled with small fish in the yard.
"Boss, another guest is coming!"
"I've harvested quite a bit today, so I should be able to exchange it for quite a few work points. If I get a few more from home, I should be able to go to the Farm Direct Sales Agency and buy a chicken for my guests."
Hearing the sound, the old man came out and muttered.
"What are you buying? Another troublemaker!"
"Just take a few small fish from your basket and cook them. Eat them if you like or not. This is what we have at home."
"If they want to eat, let them buy it themselves!"
Compared with the old man, the fishermen are much more polite.
"Big brother, I recently heard that a foreign president is coming here. It's normal for them to come and investigate."
As he was speaking, he happened to see Su Wenchen walking out.
Immediately surprised.
"Hey, Director Su, why are you here?"
Then he quickly introduced it to the old man.
"Big, this is Director Su! Not those people who come here to ask questions."
"That's our Special Zone Director! Director Su arranged for the construction of our feed mill and drying plant. He also opened a branch of the farm's direct sales agency here."
"Let's all buy some farm stuff for cheap."
As he said this, he quickly picked up the fish basket on the ground.
"Director Su, please wait!"
"I'll go trade the small fish, and then buy a chicken and a big fish to treat you."
"Big brother, give me the work points you saved earlier."
The old man next to him paused for a moment before reacting.
He hurriedly said to Su Wenchen.
"Oh, so you are the director of our special zone!"
"That requires good hospitality."
As he said this, he hurried into the house.
Su Wenchen said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Old man, please don't bother. I just came down to take a look and will be leaving soon."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who had already picked up the fish basket and was ready to exchange it for work points tickets.
"I came down today just to see how you've been doing this year."
"It seems like your team is pretty good this year."
Hearing this, the other party immediately revealed a simple and honest smile.
"Director Su, thanks to you, I haven't been idle this winter. The small fish by the lake have become treasures!"
"The women in the family also went to work in the drying factory."
"We've accumulated quite a few work points this winter alone."
"I'm planning to save some more and buy a bag of malted milk for the elderly at home to try!"
Su Wenchen smiled and nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I understand your situation now, so I won't bother you anymore."
As he said this, he walked towards the jeep at the door.
At this time, the old man ran out of the house with dozens of work point tickets issued by the Special Administrative Region in his hand.
"Leader, why are you leaving?"
"I was just talking nonsense."
Su Wenchen smiled and waved his hand.
"It's alright, old man. I came down just to see how you're actually doing."
"Now that I understand some of the situation, I have to go somewhere else and take a look. I won't bother you any further."
Then he looked at the fisherman.
"You're going to the feed factory too!"
"I'm going there too, let me give you a ride!"
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the other party quickly waved his hands.
"Leader, how can this be possible!"
"Your car is all dirty. It's not far. I can just walk there."
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"What's the big deal? Get in the car! Since we're going this way, I'll give you a ride."
"I have something else to ask you on the way."
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the man still put the fish basket on the back seat cautiously.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, saying goodbye to the old man with a smile.
"Old man, he's gone!"
"Thank you for defending me earlier. However, even if someone comes to investigate in the future, we should just speak truthfully based on the actual situation."
"This way, we in the SAR will know whether this policy is good or bad!"
Seeing that Su Wenchen really asked for it, the old man knew that he couldn't stop him and spoke directly.
"Then please wait, leader."
After saying that, he turned and ran towards the house. After a while, he came out carrying half a basket of duck eggs.
"Leader, we don't have anything good either. We must keep this salted duck egg."
Su Wenchen quickly declined.
"That won't work. We can't collect anything."
"Old man, just keep it for yourselves."
After saying that, he signaled Zhou Qiang to drive quickly.
When the other party saw this scene, he still shook his head stubbornly.
“This is just a token of our appreciation.”
"And they're all from our own ducks, and I pickle them myself!"
"Besides, you gave us canned meat last time! I'm just returning the favor. Who can gossip?"
"He quickly handed it through the car window to his son who was sitting in the back."
After handing the basket in, he shouted towards the slowly starting car.
"Leader, come over next time if you have time, and I'll treat you again."
After saying that, he looked at the jeep speeding along and couldn't help but say.
"What a good official!"
“It would be nice if they were all like this.”
When the jeep arrived at the feed factory that had been completed and put into production.
Suddenly the machine roared, and the air was filled with the unique salty smell of dried fish meal.
When the jeep stopped at the supply and marketing point of the factory.
At this time, many people had more or less money in their hands, ready to use the money they had just earned from selling miscellaneous fish to buy some New Year's goods for a prosperous year.
After arriving at the place, Su Wenchen went straight to the back.
"Comrade, take the duck eggs back!"
"We can't have this."
However, when the other party heard this, he just used his sleeve to wipe the place where Su Wenchen had placed the fish basket.
Just get off the driveway.
"Director Su, the duck eggs are a little gift from my father. If I take them back, I will definitely get beaten."
"You should keep it!"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Wenchen to say anything, he picked up the fish basket and ran towards the purchasing point.
Seeing the other party's actions, Su Wenchen could only smile and shake his head.
Originally, after the man got off the car, Su Wenchen was not planning to go inside the feed factory to take a look.
After all, he had been here many times, and he had just learned some information about the feed factory from the man.
In general, Li Kun kept a close eye on things, and the management committee would sometimes send people over, so the feed factory did not deduct money or lower prices privately.
However, the production team below may be relatively unfamiliar with his car, but the factory workers, especially the security personnel at the gate, are very familiar with it.
So there was a delay at the front. Before the car started, a middle-aged man in blue work clothes, followed by several people, ran out of the factory in a hurry.
"director!"
"You're here!"
After hearing this, Su Wenchen felt it was not appropriate to just stay in the car.
Open the car door and get out of the driveway.
"Director Zhu, I'm here to drop someone off."
"How's things going at your feed mill at the end of the year?"
Upon hearing this, Director Zhu of the feed factory spoke in a loud voice.
"Director, our feed factory can now process several tons of miscellaneous fish, shrimp, snails, clams, etc. every day."
"We clean the fish and then boil them in high-temperature water to sterilize them according to the requirements. We then dry and grind them into high-quality fish meal protein feed."
"According to feedback from several of our farms, chickens fed fish meal grow significantly faster than those fed only grain."
"When the same 45-day mark is reached, those fed fish meal will weigh about a kilogram more than those fed only coarse grains. The minimum weight at market time is generally over 4 kilograms."
After saying this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Several farms are urging us to get supplies every day. Director, you said these are all our own farms in the Special Administrative Region, and we don't know how to supply them."
"And now we have an agreement with the slaughterhouse in our special zone. They slaughter the chickens and sell them their blood, intestines, and offal."
"We also process it, disinfect and dry it uniformly, and then make it into pig feed and supply it to the pig farm."
"I heard they're all large white pigs imported from our Blue Water Farm. They've only been here for half a year and they've already weighed over 200 kilograms. The pig farm has also responded very well to this pig feed made from chicken offal."
Hearing the other party say this, Su Wenchen smiled and nodded.
"It seems your feed industry is developing well. You will actively expand it. Keep up the hard work and you may even set up a corresponding feed research and development department in the future."
"We will invest some manpower and material resources to further develop various feeds that are more nutritious and better for livestock."
"I think you have great potential in this area!"
Since there was basically no such thing as proprietary feed in the country at that time, even large farms fed their pigs with rough mixed feed such as basic soybean meal and corn.
Therefore, this feed factory in Pei County is considered the first large-scale feed production factory in China.
In fact, Su Wenchen set up the feed supply center of the special zone in Pei County because he found that this was the only place in the country suitable for developing the feed industry.
Because large-scale feed production requires a stable supply of energy, raw materials and sufficient market demand.
As of now, all of these points are gathered together in one place, Pei County.
First of all, there is a coal mine nearby, so the transportation cost is close to zero.
Although it was mainly used to supply the development of Shanghai and southern Jiangsu, Su Wenchen still discussed with both sides after taking office and asked for a lot of quotas back.
After all, exchanging resources for things is definitely not as effective as keeping the resources locally.
Another source of initial raw material supply is Weishan Lake, the largest freshwater lake in northern China. The vast amount of fish, shrimp and shellfish in the lake can greatly help feed factories complete the initial accumulation stage at a very low cost.
As for market demand, with the fast-growing chickens currently being bred by Su Wenchen and the Special Administrative Region's policy of vigorously developing the breeding industry, it can be said that there is no shortage of feed market demand.
Hearing Su Wenchen's optimistic words, the director of the feed factory made an excited assurance.
"Director, we have already begun preparations for the research and development of subsequent feed formulas."
"However, the main difficulty at present lies in the supply of raw materials."
"We have already started communicating with neighboring Yutai and Weishan counties to set up purchasing points there."
Su Wenchen also knew what the other party meant and interrupted directly.
"The subsequent supply of raw materials must still rely mainly on our own aquaculture. No matter how big Weishan Lake is, if we fish recklessly, it will eventually run out."
"So if your feed mill wants to develop in the long term, you must find an alternative aquatic product that can be artificially farmed in large quantities."
"You must pay attention to this aspect in advance, otherwise it will be too late to consider it after all the aquatic products in the lake are caught."
In Su Wenchen's opinion, such a large lake area still has great development prospects.
On the one hand, we can now raise some fish and shellfish for feed, and on the other hand, we can also raise some bulk freshwater fish.
As for high value-added aquatic products such as crabs and crayfish.
It's still too early. Even urban residents don't particularly like to eat crabs and crayfish at this time.
At this time, he obviously prefers to eat meat in big mouthfuls.
In a dozen years or so, most people will be able to eat meat regularly, and that will be the time when seafood will start to gain momentum.
Hearing Su Wenchen's words.
Although the factory manager thought that it would take a long time to catch fish along the coast of Pei County alone, after they finished catching fish here, they could go to the neighboring Yutai County and Weishan County to purchase them.
Isn’t it a waste of money to spend the cost to raise it yourself?
However, since the leader has said so, it must be implemented as soon as possible, so he nodded immediately.
"Okay, Director. I'll report this to Director Li Kun right away!"
"Then immediately prepare for the breeding of our raw materials!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Okay, that's it for today, you can go back!"
“The feed mill is developing quite well.”
"You will also play a significant role in promoting the subsequent development of the breeding industry in the Special Zone."
“Keep it up!”
Seeing Su Wenchen was about to leave, the other party immediately said anxiously.
"Director, won't you come in and take a look?"
"I was thinking of entertaining you!"
"Our Director Li should be on his way here too."
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"Forget about the hospitality. Tell Director Li that Pei County is doing quite well this year."
"The focus of subsequent development can be slightly tilted towards aquatic products."
"After all, it would be a shame to go hungry while guarding such a big lake."
Seeing that Su Wenchen had made up his mind, he had no way to persuade him to stay, so he could only say.
"Don't worry, Director. I will definitely deliver it to the right place!"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen went straight back to the car.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go to Fengxian County and take a look."
Soon the car drove along the newly built cement road between the two counties and approached Fengxian County.
There are obviously a lot more drainage ditches on both sides.
Moreover, compared with the first time Su Wenchen came here, there was a warmer landscape on the roadside this time.
Rows of adobe and oil-paper greenhouses with excellent thermal insulation performance stand on both sides of the road.
Since it was the harvest season when Su Wenchen came, there were still many bicycles and ox carts parked on the roadside.
There were even several tractors from the sub-farm parked on the roadside.
There were also a lot of people gathered around the vehicle, working hard to load it.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen stopped the jeep on the side of the road and got out and walked over.
"Hey, young man, slow down!"
"If it's crushed, it won't sell for a good price!"
"We delivered this car to the Xuzhou Department Store. They charge a high price and require it to be in good condition."
When Su Wenchen walked over, he saw the old man standing on the car, directing the loading in a majestic manner.
The members were busy carrying and picking the fruits. Although they were constantly criticized by the other party, their faces were still full of smiles.
As for the old man directing the traffic on the bus, he was even more embarrassed to watch. His wrinkled face had already been smiled into the shape of a chrysanthemum.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen walked over and said directly.
"Captain Ma, I heard your mushrooms are entering the harvest season?"
"It looks like a good harvest!"
Hearing the sound and seeing Su Wenchen coming over, the old man in the car jumped out swiftly.
"Leader, you're here!"
"Don't tell me, these colleagues from the so-and-so hospital you found are really capable. Although they talk about data temperature control, we don't understand the principle."
"But we did what they said, and the mushrooms that came out were really plump."
Su Wenchen smiled when he heard it.
The Institute of Microbiology and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences worked together to help cultivate this edible fungus.
Just do what you are told, it would be strange if it didn't turn out well.
But he still reminded.
"They can't always help you. You still have to rely on yourselves for the subsequent planting."
Hearing this, the other party nodded.
"Leader, you're right. Our county director told us the same thing, so we've already organized the young people in the team who have been to school to take notes."
As he said this, he excitedly took out a freshly picked mushroom from a basket and said to Su Wenchen.
"Look, we grow our own white mushrooms here. They are plump and white, so nice!"
"Hey, this year our team's work points will be worth at least thirty more yuan per family!"
"Leader, please wait. I'll arrange for someone to pick a basket of the fattest ones for you!"
After saying that, he walked towards the greenhouse.
Su Wenchen also followed him into the aisle.
"No, no, your Director Shi sent us a basket this morning. I tried it at noon and it was delicious with a strong mushroom flavor."
"Just keep it and sell it for money."
After lifting the thick straw curtain and entering the greenhouse.
As soon as you enter, a slight warmth and a faint smell of mushrooms hit you.
The temperature wasn't very high, but it was definitely warmer than the few degrees outside.
Growing layer upon layer on the wooden racks are rows of snow-white oyster mushrooms and plump Agaricus bisporus.
Seeing Su Wenchen follow in, the old man in the greenhouse straightened up and revealed a hint of yellow teeth.
"Leader, look how good it looks!"
"There are still many days left to harvest!"
"Furthermore, the supply and marketing cooperative keeps pushing for delivery every day, even to the people from the Shanghai Energy Bureau who have a mine in Pei County."
"They came to us and ordered a batch, saying they were going to use it to provide benefits to their employees."
"Thanks to you, leader, our team used to be the poorest production team, just like the ones in the field. We were able to have enough to eat during the New Year's dinner, and a plate of radish and cabbage was considered a New Year's celebration."
"This year, hey, a lot of families in our team are planning to buy some meat to have a good New Year!"
Su Wenchen looked at the mushroom industry here and saw that it was indeed developing well, and nodded.
"You guys are doing pretty well here. Keep up the good work and your life will get better and better!"
After saying that, he lifted the straw curtain and was about to get in the car.
Later, the old man and a strong man caught up with them carrying a basket of mushrooms.
Su Wenchen stopped him directly.
"No, I absolutely cannot accept this."
"I've already told you that your county director has already sent it to our unit."
The other party just waved his hand.
"Our County Director Shi is from the county. This is a gift from our Xiamagou Production Team. Leader, you must accept it."
"Erzhu, hurry up and open the car door!"
As he said this, he forcibly put a basket of mushrooms into Su Wenchen's car.
He closed the car door until he was done and then waved goodbye to Su Wenchen.
"Boss, next time you come over, we'll treat you well when we're not busy."
Seeing this, Su Wenchen had no choice but to wave his hand.
"Okay, I'll go look somewhere else, you guys hurry up and get busy!"
"I won't bother you any more."
Since it was the harvest season, Su Wenchen could see that the other party was quite busy.
After the jeep started again, Su Wenchen turned around and looked helplessly at the things behind him.
Even Zhou Qiang, who usually doesn't talk much, spoke up when he saw this.
"Director, there's nothing to worry about."
“That means you’re doing a good job here.”
"I used to work as a security guard for many leaders in Beijing."
"My boss once said, 'It's easy to cover someone's mouth, but it's very difficult to get them to actually open their mouth.'"
"I can tell that the two people in front are sincere."
Su Wenchen also smiled when he heard this.
"Why do you like to flatter people?"
"That's not like you."
Zhou Qiang shook his head.
"I'm not a flatterer. I can easily tell if someone is sincere or not."
"Whether it's malicious or perfunctory, as long as they talk to me or touch me closely, I can feel it a little bit."
"That's why I was chosen by the higher-ups to be a security guard."
Su Wenchen was also surprised when he heard this.
"You still have this ability!"
"Can you sense my thoughts?"
Zhou Qiang shook his head.
"How could it be so magical? I can sense the emotions in the words. For example, Director, I feel like you're feeling more joy and happiness right now."
"That's the best I can say. If I could really sense other people's thoughts, wouldn't that make me a god?"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Then you're quite impressive too!"
"This can be considered as innate micro-expression and psychology!"
"It seems that our country has quite a few talented people!"
After saying that, he looked at the back seat.
"I was thinking of visiting other production teams in Fengxian County, but now it seems I'd better forget it, otherwise I'll end up bringing back a cartload of mushrooms."
"If you didn't know, you would think I was going to buy supplies!"
"As for the rest of the stuff, when you come back, have it registered at the office and settle the payment, then send it to the cafeteria!"
"Just think of it as canteen procurement."
"Okay, Director!"
"So where are we going now?"
"Returning to the field area?"
Su Wenchen looked at the time and decided to go to Dangshan again!
The production team just now arrived not long after Su Wenchen's car left.
The car from Fengxian came over.
Shi Yingdan shouted anxiously as he got out of the car.
"Lao Ma! Lao Ma! Did Director Su come here just now?"
"Director Su from our Special Zone Management Committee."
Hearing the shouting, the old man came out of the greenhouse.
"Director Shi!"
"The SAR leader just left. He's been gone for about ten minutes!"
"Did something happen?"
Hearing that Su Wenchen had just left, Shi Yingduan waved his hand.
"It has nothing to do with us. They say Director Chen from the Protocol Department has something urgent to discuss with the Director."
"Since they've left our side, I'll call them back!"
"It looks like your team is doing a good job managing the mushrooms!"
"Be careful when harvesting. This will be our trademark from now on. If anyone damages our reputation, don't blame me for punishing them."
The old man patted his chest.
"Director Shi, we kept the ones that were accidentally broken for ourselves."
"How can we just sell the broken pieces to the city people?"
"Our team is the strictest in this regard."
"Okay, I'm also taking the pressure of placing the first batch of mushroom industry in your impoverished communes."
"Just do your job well and don't cause me any trouble in this regard."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Director Su. After all, it was Director Su who came forward to get the Agricultural Science Academy and the Institute of Microbiology to help us together."
The old man nodded directly.
"Director Shi, don't worry, this greenhouse is our lifeblood now."
"If anyone wants to destroy our lifeline in this regard, our team will definitely be the first to disagree."
"Okay, get busy!"
"I also have to reply to the SAR office. I guess I will either go to Dangshan County or go back."
Su Wenchen didn't know what happened next.
As his jeep drove into Dangshan County, he saw that the pear trees on both sides of the road had lost their leaves, but their branches were still strong.
Su Wenchen could see that the care here at Liyuan was indeed very good.
However, before they drove forward for long, Su Wenchen saw that Wang Rongshan had already been waiting at the intersection of the county town.
Su Wenchen was a little puzzled when he saw this. How did the other party know that he was coming?
Was it Shi Yingduan who notified you?
When did the relationship between the two sides become so good?
However, he still signaled Zhou Qiang to stop the car by the roadside.
After seeing Su Wenchen park the car, Wang Rongshan immediately reported excitedly as soon as he walked over.
"Director, you're here."
"I just received a call from the Special Administrative Region Office saying that you might be coming this way."
Su Wenchen frowned when he heard this.
If it was Shi Yingduan who notified him, he would actually understand and would not say much, but if it was the Special Administrative Region Office that notified him.
Su Wenchen was very dissatisfied with this matter.
The Special Administrative Region Office can be considered as someone close to him, which means that his whereabouts were betrayed by someone close to him.
It would be strange if Su Wenchen was happy.
Seeing Su Wenchen's expression, Wang Rongshan instantly realized something and hurriedly explained.
"Director, there's news from the office. There's something urgent to inform you."
"But we couldn't get in touch with you. Finally, Fengxian County said that you might have come to our place after leaving there."
"So let me see if I can find you to pass on the message."
When Su Wenchen heard this, his expression improved a little.
"What's going on? Can't you wait until I get back?"
Wang Rongshan didn't dare to hide it and said it directly.
"The Protocol Department has sent us a message that the advance team of the presidential delegation has already departed."
"It will arrive in Beijing on January 3rd and will be with us around the 5th or 6th."
"According to the protocol department's request, we have completed the preliminary preparations."
"Cooperate with their advance team to complete the coordination of all details including the president's accommodation, transportation, security, communications, etc."
When Su Wenchen heard what Wang Rongshan said, his expression became serious.
"So the advance team will be here next week?"
"That's fine, I might as well go to your county first!"
"How are those Blue Water Golden Feather Chickens I asked you to raise in advance?"
Wang Rongshan promised seriously.
"Director, don't worry. We are all managing them according to your requirements. They have all exceeded the 120-day feeding standard."
"And each one looks very good. I think even a phoenix would be no different."
Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head.
"It's like you've seen a phoenix."
"Get in the car. Let's go to your free-range farm first. We'll kill two tonight and test them. To be honest, I don't even know what they taste like!"
