Second floor.
"It will also attract some high-end customers. After all, it's impossible for customers to only eat one dish."
"This is exactly why these high-end restaurants are here. If there were no benefits, they wouldn't support us."
"That's why we reserve profit margins for them. Only when they make money will they join us in carrying the sedan chair."
The other person smiled.
"No wonder they're dragging you into charge of diplomatic work. They say your failure to take charge of diplomatic work is a huge loss to the diplomatic community."
Su Wenchen immediately waved his hand humbly.
"Leader, please stop insulting me!"
"I just like to think about things. After exporting the Moonlight Rabbit, I wanted to earn foreign exchange. If you want to sell something to someone, don't you have to consider their preferences?"
"I just think about what the people need, and I do it. The people want to eat meat."
"Then I will vigorously develop fast-growing chickens and white pigs, which have a high meat yield."
"If grain production is insufficient, then we should develop alkali-control fertilizers and introduce chemical fertilizer plants."
"If you don't have enough foreign exchange, then you should look at what foreigners need and then find a way to sell them what they need and earn foreign exchange."
As he spoke, Su Wenchen's tone was respectful yet sentimental.
"Boss, I didn't dare to think so specifically at that time. I just tried it out step by step according to the situation."
"At that time, I was just thinking about selling things, exchanging foreign currency, and importing equipment to develop our special zone."
"To be honest, even I am a little surprised that it has developed to this day."
Hearing this, the other party waved his hand.
"I think what you said makes sense. We must solve whatever problems the people need."
"How else can we serve the people? I think many comrades should learn from you."
"Even the simple fact that the people want to eat meat is something many people can't figure out."
Su Wenchen felt a little embarrassed and said quickly.
"Boss, please stop praising me. I'll feel embarrassed if you keep praising me."
The leader paused, and his tone turned to a more serious discussion.
"But Wenchen, the reason I came to this auction today isn't to see how much these chickens can fetch."
"This is a great window to showcase our achievements and establish our international brand image. Its significance is no less than the president's visit that year."
"Through this window, we can let others see and know a lot of our subsequent things."
"Our country doesn't just have one special administrative region; there are also people from all over the country."
Su Wenchen perked up and nodded.
"Leader, I understand that we will drive the development of the surrounding areas in the future!"
At this time, the auctioneer was passionately introducing the next item.
He picked up the teacup and took another sip, looking out the window at the busy scene of the Special Administrative Region.
"It seems that your 'experimental field' in the Special Zone has been planted correctly."
“The achievements are not small, but the burden is also heavier.”
"Comrade Wen Chen, have you ever thought about where the Special Administrative Region will go next? Will it continue to rely on selling alkali-removing fertilizer? Is that enough to support long-term development?"
Su Wenchen had naturally thought about this carefully.
"Leader, this is exactly the focus of our recent research. We have already exceeded our targets for the first five-year plan ahead of schedule!"
"Alkali fertilizer, golden-feathered chicken, and moon-blooming rabbit are our first pot of gold, but we can't eat them forever."
“We have planned several steps to follow.”
"The first step is to utilize existing foreign exchange earnings and accumulated technology to initially engage in deep processing industries."
"We are accelerating the expansion of our new feed mill. Our goal is not only to meet our own huge demand for alkali-treated rabbits, but also to export high-quality, low-cost compound feed to other major breeding provinces in China, thus creating a new growth point."
"On the other hand, it also fulfills our promise to make meat affordable for people across the country."
He pointed his finger on the glass in the direction of the planned new industrial zone in the distance.
"The second step is to use the imported equipment and technology to vigorously develop light industries that support and benefit agriculture."
"For example, the new project we are planning is to take advantage of the abundant cotton and ramie production in the border area between Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui to build a modern textile printing and dyeing factory.
"These can absorb surplus labor while providing production materials and support to the surrounding areas."
"The third step," Su Wenchen said with anticipation, "is that we can eventually leverage our accumulated talent, technology, and market experience to tentatively expand into the fields of precision manufacturing and high-tech."
"Of course, this will take longer to complete, but it is also a vision."
"When we introduced equipment, we consciously required personnel training and technical digestion clauses to lay the foundation for the future."
"After all, we can't always import foreign equipment. We still have to develop our own, even if it's a little behind. Otherwise, if we rely on others for everything, we'll have trouble breathing if they choke us."
"Finally, we need to vigorously develop trade. We should not only sell our own specialties, but also use the special zone's window advantage to help products from our fellow inland provinces go global."
The old man listened very attentively, with a gleam of approval in his eyes from time to time.
"Deep processing, light industry, focusing on basic materials, and then waiting for an opportunity to explore high-end and sophisticated technologies... Well, the idea is right, we must proceed steadily and steadily."
"The idea of developing trade is particularly good! A special economic zone should be unique not only in its flexible policies but also in its strategic value as a bridgehead."
"We must serve as the hub of the 'two fans'—a window to the outside world and a source of radiation within."
He put down the teacup, stood up, walked to the window on the other side, turned his back to Su Wenchen, and looked out at the newly built factory in the distance and the vast fields beyond.
The voice is not loud, but it is full of power and profound thoughts about the future.
"Wen Chen, this model and path you've developed here are very important."
Every word made Su Wenchen's pupils shrink.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the box door. (End of this chapter)
