Chapter 448 Helping with Site Selection
Lin Guohuai came with an order, looking for Zhou Yimin's help. The commune was preparing to build a feed factory, but the site selection became a big problem.
Since everyone has his or her own little calculations and wants to gain some benefits from it, the issue of site selection has not been determined.
No, Director Huang, he should be called Secretary Huang. He was officially promoted to Secretary two days ago.
Because of the feed issue, Lin Guohuai was promoted a little bit and could be considered a small leader in the commune.
Secretary Huang knew that Lin Guohuai had a good relationship with Zhou Yimin, so he thought of asking Lin Guohuai to ask Zhou Yimin for help.
Lin Guohuai had been to Zhoujiazhuang many times. The security team in Zhoujiazhuang knew him and took the initiative to greet him: "Technician Lin, are you here to see Uncle Sixteen again?"
Lin Guohuai nodded: "Yes, do you know where Yimin is now?"
If I had known that, I wouldn't have had to run all over Zhoujiazhuang.
"I know, Uncle Sixteen. He's been at the experimental field recently!"
When Lin Guohuai heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. It seemed that Zhou Yimin had come up with something good again: "Where is this experimental field?"
The security team told Lin Guohuai the exact location and then looked at him eagerly.
When Lin Guohuai saw this scene, he knew what he wanted, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to him.
Then he walked straight to the experimental field.
After the security team member took the cigarette, he was really generous. I thought it would be nice to have just one cigarette, but I didn't expect him to give me a whole pack directly!
When Lin Guohuai arrived at the experimental field, he saw Zhou Yimin and another person busy there.
"Yimin, what are you working on?"
Zhou Yimin raised his head and saw that it was Lin Guohuai: "Brother Lin, how come you have time to come here?"
He knew that Lin Guohuai was the kind of person who would not come to see him unless there was something important. This time he came, he must want his help with something.
Lin Guohuai didn't expect Zhou Yimin to be so accurate, and he didn't hide it: "Yimin, this time it was my uncle who asked me to come to you for help?"
Zhou Yimin was a little puzzled: "I don't think there is anything I can do to help Director Huang?"
Lin Guohuai corrected him: "Yimin, my uncle is now promoted to secretary, not director."
"Also, you can definitely help with this matter."
"Congratulations, you speak first." Zhou Yimin said.
Could it be that he wanted to buy meat or food from me?
Lin Guohuai said, "I just want you to help the commune choose a suitable place to build a feed factory?"
"This is the first thing my uncle has to deal with after taking office. In order to do it as well as possible, I can only come to you for help."
Zhou Yimin thought it was just a small matter, and said, "Okay, when do we leave?"
When Lin Guohuai heard Zhou Yimin's agreement, he immediately said happily: "Let's go now!"
Zhou Yimin didn't expect to be so anxious. Since he had already agreed, he could only go: "Expert Wang, I'm going to go out for a while, I'll leave this to you!"
Expert Wang nodded, indicating that he understood. There was nothing special to do anyway, so he just needed to record the data.
Zhou Yimin wanted to go back and ride his motorcycle, but Lin Guohuai saw him and quickly stopped him: "Yimin, let's just ride our bicycles!"
The leaders in the commune all ride bicycles, but Zhou Yimin drives a motorcycle, which is not appropriate!
Zhou Yimin felt strange at first, but suddenly he thought of something, nodded and agreed, went home, rode his bicycle, and followed Lin Guohuai.
When I arrived at the gathering place, I saw that the leaders of the commune were already waiting. I didn't know why Secretary Huang insisted on waiting for people, and why so many leaders were waiting for one person.
But since Secretary Huang was the top leader of the commune, they had no choice but to obey.
Lin Guohuai said quickly: "Secretary Huang, Yimin has been brought here."
In this situation, he still knew his limits and did not call him uncle.
Secretary Huang nodded with satisfaction: "I believe that everyone should be familiar with Yimin!"
There were quite a few people present, and they had even presented the tractor to Zhou Yimin together with Secretary Huang, so he was not a stranger to them.
The people present finally understood why they had to wait.
Now that everyone was gathered, they began to conduct field surveys of the main areas within the commune.
They rode bicycles and traveled between villages. Wherever they arrived at a place, Zhou Yimin carefully observed the surrounding environment.
At their first stop, they came to an open area near the center of the commune.
The terrain here is flat and the land is open, which seems to be very suitable for building a factory.
Secretary Huang was quite satisfied with this place, and said expectantly: "Yimin, what do you think of this place? It is close to the commune, and it will be convenient for management in the future."
Zhou Yimin looked around, thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Huang, this piece of land does have advantages. The flat terrain is conducive to factory construction, and it is close to the commune, which is convenient for communication and coordination.
However, we also have to consider the transportation of raw materials. The main raw material for our feed production is straw, which mostly comes from farmland in various villages.
If we build the factory here, the transportation cost of collecting straw from various villages will be relatively high. In addition, we have to consider the water source. A lot of water may be needed in the process of feed production. Isn’t this place a bit far from the water source? "
After listening to Zhou Yimin, Secretary Huang and the others nodded, thinking that what Zhou Yimin said made sense. It seemed that waiting for so long was not unreasonable.
Since this place was not suitable, they continued to move forward and came to a village near a river. There was a clear stream winding through here, and the surrounding farmland was piled with straw.
"There are abundant water resources and sufficient raw materials here, so it should be good," said another leader.
Zhou Yimin squatted down, carefully observed the soil conditions, looked at the direction of the river, and said: "From the perspective of water sources and raw materials, this place is really good.
However, you see, the water flow in this river is quite fast, and if there is heavy rain, there may be a risk of flooding.
When we build a feed factory, we must consider long-term stability and not allow the factory to be threatened by floods. Moreover, the village is too close, and the feed production process may produce some odor and noise, which will affect the lives of the villagers. "
After hearing this, everyone felt that Zhou Yimin had considered everything very carefully. Although the villagers would certainly not have any objections, after all, this was a major issue concerning agriculture.
Zhou Yimin and the commune leaders ran to almost every corner of the commune.
Finally, at the edge of the commune, near a main road, Zhou Yimin's eyes lit up.
There is a large area of relatively flat wasteland here, which is very close to the highway and has very convenient transportation.
It is convenient for transporting raw materials in and also for transporting finished feed out.
Moreover, there is a medium-sized stream next to the wasteland, which can meet the water demand for production.
At the same time, it is a certain distance away from each village and will not have much impact on the lives of the villagers.
After working for several hours, he finally saw a suitable place and said, "Secretary Huang, I think this place is very suitable. First of all, convenient transportation can greatly reduce transportation costs and improve transportation efficiency.
Secondly, the stream nearby can provide a stable water source. Most importantly, it is far away from the village, which can ensure the independence of production without causing trouble to the villagers. "
After hearing Zhou Yimin's analysis, Secretary Huang also felt that this place was indeed suitable for building a feed factory.
"Everyone, do you have any different opinions?"
Although I am the head of the commune, it does not mean that I have the final say in the entire commune. I still have to respect everyone's opinions.
Everyone is not stupid. Judging from Secretary Huang's tone, they are quite satisfied with this place and probably don't want to continue wasting time here.
They all nodded, indicating that they had no objection.
Secretary Huang saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since there is no objection, let's go back to the commune to discuss the matters of building a factory!"
Zhou Yimin saw that the task had been completed and was about to leave, but Director Huang stopped him and said, "Yimin, are you interested in attending the meeting and giving your opinions?"
When Zhou Yimin heard this, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
Then everyone returned to the commune and went straight to the meeting room.
After everyone sat down, Secretary Huang went straight to the point: "Since we want to build a feed factory, but we don't have enough manpower and talent, how should we solve this problem?"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in silence. At this time, Director Fang put forward his own opinion: "We need to train a group of professional technicians and managers.
We can select some educated and studious young people from each village and send them to nearby factories or agricultural colleges for training so that they can master advanced production technology and management experience.
After they come back, they will become the backbone of our feed factory.
At the same time, we need to establish a complete incentive mechanism to give certain material and spiritual rewards to employees with outstanding work performance, so as to improve everyone's work enthusiasm."
After hearing this method, everyone present expressed their agreement. If this method is followed, everyone can get some benefits from it. The number of manpower is not up to them, and everyone can be allocated some places in the end.
Secretary Huang was quite satisfied with this solution, so he continued to ask, "Director Fang, do you have any other suggestions?"
After hearing Secretary Huang's praise, Director Fang continued, "We can adopt the form of a cooperative and allow each village to participate in the operation of the feed factory by investing in raw materials.
In this way, villagers can not only earn income by providing straw, but also share dividends from the profits of the feed factory.
Moreover, this method can enhance the villagers' sense of belonging and responsibility, allowing everyone to more actively support the development of the feed factory.
At the same time, we must strengthen cooperation with surrounding areas and expand sales channels.
We can establish long-term cooperative relationships with farms and animal husbandry stations in other communes to ensure stable sales of feed.”
Another thing is to produce some promotional materials to introduce the advantages and effects of our feed to the surrounding farmers.
We can organize some on-site demonstration activities so that farmers can see with their own eyes the growth of livestock after using our feed.”
After hearing this, Secretary Huang clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Director Fang, you said it very well. Does anyone have any other opinions?"
There was warm applause in the conference room. Of course, no one would object to such a good idea.
No one thought of any other meaning, so no one dared to speak.
Secretary Huang saw Zhou Yimin slacking off, so he called out by name: "Yimin, as the inventor of the feed, do you have anything to add?"
Zhou Yimin, who was still slacking off, did not expect to be named. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I do have one opinion. The location of the feed factory has been determined, so the next step is the construction and operation.
In terms of construction, I suggest that the design of the factory should rationally plan the functional zoning. For example, set up a special raw material storage area to ensure good ventilation to prevent the straw from getting damp and moldy. "
In addition, "we must also pay attention to the construction of environmental protection facilities. Some dust and sewage may be generated during the feed production process. If they are not treated, they will not only pollute the environment, but also affect the surrounding ecological balance.
We can build some simple sewage treatment facilities to preliminarily treat the sewage generated during the production process before discharging it. For dust, we can install some dust collection equipment to reduce air pollution.”
Secretary Huang did not expect Zhou Yimin to come up with such good suggestions.
Zhou Yimin understood that people of this period did not pay much attention to environmental issues. It was not like later generations, when many environmental problems arose and by the time they reacted, it was already too late.
Now that we have the opportunity, let’s see if we can try to make some changes.
After more than an hour's meeting, it finally ended.
The meeting ended and everyone got up one after another to leave.
Zhou Yimin put away the things on the table and thought about leaving.
At this moment, a hand gently rested on his shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Lin Guohuai.
"Brother Lin, is there anything else?"
Lin Guohuai said directly: "Secretary Huang wants to see you!"
He knew that his uncle must have a reward for Zhou Yimin, otherwise he would not have asked him to bring Zhou Yimin to a place like the office to discuss it.
Zhou Yimin could only nod resignedly, and then followed Lin Guohuai to Secretary Huang's office.
Secretary Huang opened the office door and stood up from behind his desk. He greeted Zhou Yimin enthusiastically and asked him to sit down. He said, "Yimin, thanks to you, we were able to determine the location of the feed factory so quickly."
Zhou Yimin scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Secretary Huang, this is what I should do. I just want to do more practical things for our commune and contribute to it."
The most important thing is that he also wants to decide on the feed factory as soon as possible, so that he won’t have to ask him for help in the future.
Secretary Huang then said, "Yimin, I called you here to tell you a good news. The commune has decided to give you 50 quotas to help build the feed factory. You can let 50 villagers from your village come to work."
Another thing is: "After the feed mill is built, we will reserve 10 positions for you to arrange workers."
After hearing this, Zhou Yimin did not expect that Secretary Huang would be so generous and give so many things at once.
"Thank you, Secretary Huang and the commune!"
However, this quota for building a feed factory seems to be of no use. After all, Zhoujiazhuang is short of manpower and has to borrow workers from other villages to work.
