That's very polite of you.
The group didn't bother to investigate the specific reasons.
"I knew it, it's good that we know each other." Director Wu didn't say much more. He was the organizer, but not the one in charge. He had to get started and explain the cause and effect. How to communicate afterwards was up to them. He called out to the outside, "Serve the food!"
Soon, waiters began bringing in dishes one after another.
The three of them didn't touch their chopsticks. Director Wu poured tea for the two of them, and then waited until all the dishes were served.
When the door was closed.
Before Director Wu could speak, he sighed, "Shouren, we're old friends, so I won't hide this from you. Didn't we catch a spy in your factory a while ago?"
Wang Shouren nodded silently, but didn't reply. He wanted to know what this person wanted to say.
"Behind this spy, we've uncovered a big fish. I won't go into details, but that big fish himself said he has a plan specifically targeting us. If this plan succeeds, then..."
“Hey, hey, hey… Old Wu, Director Wu…” Wang Shouren waved his hands repeatedly: “Don’t let me know what you shouldn’t know.”
"Just kidding, what kind of spy plan is this? It has absolutely nothing to do with me, Wang."
What level is Wang Shouren at? If he were still in the Ministry of Industry, he would be considered a leader, no matter how big or small, even in Beijing.
But now he's just a factory manager, so he can't afford to cause trouble.
"Hey, Lao Wu, you just can't keep your mouth shut." Dongfang Fuxing picked up the conversation: "The main thing is, the higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously, and with that, the pressure is on me. In a few days, to tell you the truth, I'll be taking over as mayor of Beijing. That's why I asked Lao Wu to invite you here today. I want to ask you about some things."
"Oh? Brother Fuxing, you might as well speak your mind." Wang Shouren sat up straight.
There are differences between mayors.
The mayor of Beijing is different from the mayors of other places.
Wang Shouren was still a little confused. Why did this person call him out?
"Here's the thing, I heard from my dad that you started researching farming back in '68. You even sent someone there to learn. Later, greenhouses were set up in Qinjiacun, and a breeding farm was also established. I wanted to ask you, do you think this model has any potential if it's promoted?"
I understand.
Wang Shouren understood what today was for.
Anyone who has spent a few years in officialdom will possess a basic skill: the ability to discern subtle meanings from the sound of a musical instrument.
In this day and age, things are better; there aren't so many complicated schemes. The fact that Dongfang Fuxing is willing to ask so directly shows that he considers Wang Shouren one of his own.
“This…” Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s a bit difficult.”
"Where is the difficulty?" Dongfang Fuxing asked.
"Paying for knowledge." Wang Shouren succinctly summarized it in a few words: "Whether it's greenhouse farming or animal husbandry, once it reaches a certain scale, it's a completely different story. Take chicken farming for example, you should know how many knowledge points are needed for things like disease prevention and control. The Qin Family Village model can be replicated, but the process of replication is very difficult."
"According to you, what if someone from above were sent down to provide guidance?"
“That’s not realistic,” Director Wu suddenly said. “Fuxing, you should know how difficult this is if you’ve ever been to the grassroots level. Even if you send people down, they might not do it the way you want. Unless you can make the most respected person in the village realize the importance of this. But in reality, that’s very difficult.”
“That’s true.” Wang Shouren nodded. “I won’t say anything else, just take Qinjiacun as an example. If it weren’t for my father-in-law leading the whole village to get rich in 1966 and helping the whole village get through the hurdle from 1966 to 1976, just the village’s decision to build a dormitory building for future talents and provide them with high salaries, there are really not many villages in the whole country that could do that.”
“Agricultural farming is not like other industries. It’s like my motorcycle. Once I develop a model, go through testing, debugging, and then put it on the production line, my motorcycle is basically ready to leave the factory. The problem with agricultural farming is that it’s all-weather and all-year-round. You can’t predict when a problem will occur. Moreover, the issue of grandparent stock chickens also needs to be resolved. If it’s just for your own family to raise them, you can just buy chicks. But high-level farms need to breed their own chickens. These are all problems.”
Agriculture and animal husbandry are complex issues, not as simple as they seem. Most importantly, they require experts in the field. If the "retirement home" hadn't existed, Wang Shouren wouldn't have let them build greenhouses, because even he himself was only a dabbler, while their "retirement home" had many agricultural experts. It was thanks to this wave of knowledge that Qin Family Village was able to thrive.
Even 76 years later, one old professor stayed behind, mainly because he didn't want to move around anymore, and also because there were experimental facilities in Qinjiacun.
Thanks to this old professor, Qinjiacun was able to successfully sign an internship contract with an agricultural college.
Students from this agricultural college can come to Qinjiacun for internships. As for whether they can retain them with generous benefits during their internships, that depends on Qinjiacun's capabilities.
The knowledge I gained was the result of so much effort and dedication.
What's the point? It's all about that phrase, "Millions in assets, but those with fur don't count."
"Most importantly, in large-scale farming, if an epidemic breaks out, the entire farm will suffer. All the gains could be wiped out overnight."
"Is it that serious?" Dongfang Fuxing sighed.
Having reached this point, development is secondary; stability is paramount. He would never touch anything that could disappear overnight.
“Hey, Fuxing, what brings you back to focus on a farm this time?” Director Wu asked.
That's more than asking.
After the previous questions, Wang Shouren already knew why.
However, since Director Wu was acting as an intermediary, it was not appropriate for Dongfang Fuxing to ask directly if he didn't say these things.
"Sigh, you guys don't know, Beijing is in such a mess right now." Dongfang Fuxing sighed. "There are street thugs everywhere in the city. I'm thinking about how to create some jobs. Shouren, you have a lot of ideas, can you think of something?"
