Does it really have to be this high?
"Even with these conditions, people still hesitate," Qin Huairu sighed. The money was more than enough, but these days, some people are after money, but their beliefs remain unchanged. To put it simply, everyone who came to this village for internships was persuaded by Qin Huairu and her team, one by one, with a string of rhetoric about how staying could contribute to the country's development.
Only a few people were able to stay.
Do you really think that government positions have no power these days?
"What I mean is, if we follow your model, is it unnecessary to send more technical personnel?" Dongfang Fuxing meant that they shouldn't try to replicate the success of Qinjiacun, but rather to simply copy the technology there.
"Boss, I'll say it again: a millionaire's net worth doesn't count if it involves livestock. I just want to ask one question: if we follow our farm's standards, putting everything else aside, can you even do the gate inspection and disinfection every single day?"
If a leader who has never been to the grassroots level were in charge, they would immediately pat their chest and guarantee – it's possible.
What's so special about that?
In the eyes of these people who have never been to the grassroots level, as long as they speak, those below will obediently cooperate.
But the revival of the East is different; he knew the hardships involved just from that one path.
Why is the person sitting in front of the farm not an ordinary old man, but someone Qin Huairu calls Third Uncle?
Isn't this telling them that even in their village, a village that values technology so much, there are still rule-breakers? It's not enough for one person to understand its importance; the whole community needs to understand it.
In fact, this matter is far more complex than the Eastern revival imagined.
From the very beginning, Wang Shouren sent Kui Datou to Qinjiacun to collect goods, hoping to lead everyone to wealth. This was only the first step, a mere attempt to establish a trusting relationship between the two sides. The people trusted Wang Shouren, who claimed he could bring them riches.
The relationship continued for the next ten years.
Why? Besides their close relationship, the two sides also shared a common will to resist outsiders, and the interests of the village were firmly bound together.
If you cause trouble, you'll become the village's enemy. These days, if someone disappears without a trace, the higher-ups won't even bother to investigate.
Through year after year of binding.
Wang Shouren proposed greenhouse cultivation around 1973.
When the idea was first proposed, no one responded; only a handful did. In the end, it was the Qin Huairu family and the Qin Jingru family that planted it.
A year passed, and only after the Qin Huairu family and the Qin Jingru family told everyone how much money they had made did they truly understand just how amazing Wang Shouren was.
Therefore, the most authoritative clan elder in the village made a special trip to visit them.
The 83-year-old man talked with Wang Shouren in the house for a whole day. Later, the uncle personally convened a village meeting, overruling the objections of others, and got everyone to move into the greenhouse. At that time, the plastic sheeting was brought back by Wang Shouren for almost no cost. Why was it free? Because he had a small space, and that amount of plastic sheeting was enough for him.
But the villagers didn't know that. They all thought that Wang Shouren had specially gone to great lengths to get plastic sheeting for them, given the chaos and war outside. They thought it was a huge favor.
The clan uncle himself stated that the entire Qin family village should be grateful to them, and anyone who dared to offend them would be expelled from the clan genealogy. This is why, later, when everyone knew Wang Shouren had taken Qin Huairu as his wife, no one said anything. It's not a joke; he took her in, so be it. The clan genealogy is not a joke.
It was this point that gave Wang Shouren a voice in the village.
Even with the power to speak, it was still Wang Shouren who initiated the construction of the breeding farm, and he was the one who initially invested the funds. It wasn't until the breeding farm actually started producing anything that his uncle came to visit again.
This time, the two sides negotiated again, and finally, after consultation, it was established as a village cooperative, with Wang Shouren taking the majority share—40%—and the remaining 60% distributed to the village. Of course, it wasn't free; everyone had to contribute money as shares. On the day the clan uncle announced the news, half of the people still didn't want to invest.
Even so, it was only after the village chief visited each household individually that they finally agreed.
After the chicken farm was established, problems arose. Despite repeated reminders, many people still chose to be lazy. For example, they were careless when cleaning the chicken coop, thinking it was better to be sloppy. They were also rough when feeding the chickens. Occasionally, children would even come and deliberately scare the chickens, causing them to stop laying eggs for several days.
These problems, one after another, even though Qin Huairu was from Qin Family Village, made her want to strangle some people along the way.
Where do you think her imposing manner comes from?
That was all forced upon them by these unruly people!
So, when Dongfang Fuxing said it was going to set up another chicken farm, Qin Huairu only asked this one question.
The Eastern revival thus wisely ceased its pursuit.
Why? Because he understands the grassroots too well. He knows how many stubborn people there are. If you tell him "no," he thinks he can do it, so he believes he can.
If you tell him how to raise chickens, he'll think it's wrong and change the feed ratio for you in no time.
The lower one's level of education, the more stubborn they become; he knew all too well the hardships involved.
“If you’d like more job opportunities, I have a suggestion,” Qin Huairu said.
Dongfang Fuxing's eyes lit up: "Village Chief Qin, tell me in detail."
"Actually, in terms of job opportunities, our village can provide quite a few. For example, the chicken farm can't continue like this. Every day, the eggs are stored and moved in and out of the warehouse, and cleaning the chicken coops, etc., all of which require a lot of manpower. Providing thousands of jobs shouldn't be a problem. It's just that everyone isn't too busy right now, so there's time. In a few days, when spring plowing arrives, I should go to the city to recruit people. At that time, we will most likely continue to expand, but this expansion won't just be the chicken farm, but the supporting facilities. At that time, we will need your approval."
That's something new.
I've heard of people going to the city to work because they can't make a living in the countryside, but I've never heard of people from the countryside going to the city to be recruited.
"The approval process is fine, but you haven't told me about the job position yet."
"Boss, how did you feel about the chicken for lunch today?"
"It's delicious." Although he didn't know what Qin Huairu was up to, he still wouldn't be disappointed. As long as Qin Huairu could help him solve the problem or provide him with a way of thinking about solving it, he wouldn't mind if she kept him in suspense or even betrayed him.
