Military vehicles and small jeeps stopped at the gate of the Second Regiment’s barracks, and officers in formal attire got out of the vehicles.
Lu Shouhai, Sheng Pinghua and Chief of Staff Gao Shulin, along with several battalion commanders, were at the door to receive them.
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Congratulations."
After some polite exchanges, Lu Shouhai and the others stood still at the door, as if they were still waiting for someone.
Glancing at the people present, one of the other regiment leaders asked in a low voice, "Old Lu, are the military district leaders here too?"
Lu Shouhai nodded, and the leader who was asking the question said with a sigh, "Your Second Regiment is really prosperous. Old Lu, let me be honest with you about our relationship. How much money did your Second Regiment's feed factory make?"
Hearing this, another group leader also interrupted, "Old Lu, how many pigs do you have in your pig farm?"
As soon as the two of them spoke, all the group leaders present fell silent, slightly leaned sideways, and pricked up their ears to listen to the news.
Beep beep beep!
The sound of a whistle came from a distance and everyone looked over quickly.
The car drove quickly and stopped steadily at the gate of the military camp.
A middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties got out of the car, followed by two officers in their forties or fifties. Lu Shouhai and others hurried forward to greet them, and a group of regiment leaders also followed.
"Chief!"
Everyone saluted.
The military commander nodded, glanced at the crowd, and said with a smile: "There are quite a few people here today."
Those who came today were regimental leaders from various regiments, and the military district chief naturally knew them all. What he meant was that he wanted Lu Shouhai to introduce several battalion-level officers present that he did not know.
Lu Shouhai understood what he meant and quickly introduced several battalion-level officers.
"Commander, this is our first battalion commander Lu Yunsheng. The inventor of the fermentation technology and the design drawings of the factory is his lover Jiang Yan."
"Hello, Chief!"
Lu Yunsheng saluted with a standard military salute, and the military district chief smiled and nodded, "Not bad, you are all great."
When the head of the military region came to the Second Regiment, he naturally learned about the situation in advance. He knew that Jiang Yan was the inventor of fermentation technology and that she was Lu Yunsheng's lover.
Asking Lu Shouhai to introduce him was purely to give Lu Yunsheng face.
Lu Yunsheng has a good family background, is young, has strength, and has a lover who is equally strong. His future development will not be worse than his, so why not invest in him in advance?
The reaction of the military district chief also made the leaders of the regiment present take it more seriously.
Lu Shouhai introduced several other battalion commanders, but the military district leaders just smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
After the introduction, seeing that the leader had nothing to say, Lu Shouhai invited everyone to enter the military camp. The art troupe was already preparing.
But the military commander waved his hand and said with a warm smile: "Let's not go to the military camp for now. I think everyone is very curious about your feed factory and pig factory.
Second Captain, can you show us around?
By the way, let me introduce the situation so that everyone can learn from it. "
"no problem."
"Commander, please come this way."
A group of regiment leaders surrounded the military district chief and walked towards the factory by the river, with Lu Yunsheng and several battalion commanders following behind.
Glancing at the leaders in front of him, Wu Jinchao whispered, "Our regiment is really proud this time. Even the political commissar of the military region was alarmed. We also became familiar to the leaders. Lao Lu, thanks to your wife. Thank you."
There was no fool among those present. They knew that it was all thanks to Jiang Yan, otherwise the leader would have been so idle that he would have wanted to get to know them.
Xu Lei next to him interrupted, "Do you think our group will be awarded an outstanding award during the New Year?"
"Maybe." Ge Qianjin was also a little expectant.
Regimental honor belongs to every soldier and cadre. If you can really get one, you will be glorious for the whole year.
Lu Shouhai and Sheng Pinghua followed the military district chief on his left and right, and Sheng Pinghua introduced the situation in a low voice.
"…Our feed mill was built in April…"
"So far, including the feed that is being fermented, the factory has produced nearly 5,000 tons of fermented feed. We sell it to the meat processing plant at 100 yuan per ton."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately began to calculate in their minds.
If the price of feed is 100 yuan per ton, 5,000 tons would be 500,000 yuan. If the price of millet is 9 cents per pound, 500,000 yuan would be equivalent to 5.56 million pounds of grain.
Oh my god!
The military district chief and other regiment leaders gasped.
You should know that the total annual grain output of a natural village is only a few hundred thousand kilograms, and it is rare to have an output of over one million kilograms.
This is the total harvest for the year.
A feed factory in the Second Regiment generated the annual output value of more than ten natural villages in just three months.
It's too exaggerated!
The annual output value of a factory is equivalent to that of dozens of natural villages.
"Oh my god! A feed factory is so profitable."
"Lao Sheng, you calculated correctly, didn't you?"
It’s not that people don’t believe it, it’s just that the number is too exaggerated, so exaggerated that it seems like a fairy tale.
Even during the Great Leap Forward, people didn’t dare to report numbers like this!
The military commander was also extremely surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How much grain does your feed cost?"
Lu Shouhai was very proud.
"Commander, our feed does not consume any grain. The raw materials are all unwanted straws in the countryside, such as rice straw, wheat straw, corn straw, etc."
"In the past, these were burned directly in the fields or taken home as firewood, and only a small part was fed to the livestock in the village. Now we use them all."
Sheng Pinghua added, "Besides, our feed has very high nutritional value after fermentation. Basically, three or four kilograms of feed can produce one kilogram of meat."
Gao Shulin also smiled and said, "This is also the reason why the meat processing plant cooperates with us. Compared with feeding grain, our feed is more cost-effective."
After hearing the introduction by Lu Shouhai and the other two, the military district chief praised them repeatedly.
"The Second Regiment has set a good example. Our troops can also be self-sufficient and can reduce the burden on the country."
"The national situation is difficult. We need to save money, but we also need to increase revenue,"
Everyone quickly approached the feed factory, eager to see what a factory with such a high annual output value looked like.
Before I even reached the door, I saw villagers pushing carts and carrying loads on their shoulders, lining up in groups at the door.
They all had smiles on their faces and were chatting and laughing with each other.
Sheng Pinghua wanted to introduce himself, but the chief raised his hand to stop him and walked over directly, "Fellow villagers, what are you doing queuing here?"
Seeing a group of people in military uniforms, the villagers were a little timid, but when they saw that the person asking the question was very friendly, they replied: "We are here to sell straw. We heard that we can exchange straw for money at this feed factory, so we collected straw from our home to sell."
The villagers nearby said, "It's one cent per pound, and our village sells it for several thousand yuan."
"The army is really good. It is working to benefit us ordinary people."
"Yes, in the future, all the straw in the village will be sold to the feed factory, and we can save more money and live a good life."
Although he knew it was a compliment, the military district chief was very happy. It didn't matter whether it was a compliment or not. As long as it could benefit the people, it was a good thing.
