1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 278 Why did I, a perfectly normal person, go and compete with a freak?! (Silver Alliance, 8th update)
Upon hearing Yang Fusheng's words, Zhang Qianjin began to ponder, and the other negative emotions in his heart gradually cleared away.

It's obvious that the other party dared to ask the leaders of the provincial agricultural reclamation bureau to entertain them. Anyone who would agree to such a request either has an extremely good relationship with the person or is simply not very bright.

But looking at the scene today, Zhang Qianjin knew very well that people with poor judgment would most likely not be able to enter the venue today.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qianjin took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and said with a smile.

"Comrade Yang, I'm so sorry!"

"I was thinking about other things and neglected my duties a bit."

"Okay, after the meeting, let's exchange ideas as you suggested."

For Zhang Qianjin, although people from Yunnan Province have no jurisdiction over Shanghai, the possibility of internal transfers within the same system is still unpredictable.

In particular, Shanghai frequently transfers leading cadres from all over the country.

Therefore, before any conflict of interest arises, maintaining good relations with him is definitely the best option.

Of course, the main reason was that the other party invited us to have a meal together and get to know each other. This kind of thing is not particularly important when it comes to exchanging information within the same system.

When it comes to their farm's interests, they should definitely fight for themselves.

Upon hearing Zhang Qianjin's words, Yang Fusheng quickly smiled and shook his head.

"Not at all, not at all. Everyone has times when they're thinking. And even if I'm sorry, it was I who disturbed you, Comrade Qianjin."

"I should be the one saying sorry."

Since the initial attempt to build rapport between the two parties had already been completed, Yang Fusheng was not surprised by Zhang Qianjin's attitude.

It was precisely because of the other party's perfunctory attitude that he was so eager to build a relationship.

This indicates that such farms must have hosted many other farms that come to learn from them.

Moreover, as a state-owned farm in a big city, Zhang Qianjin's attitude was actually quite good in his opinion. In the past few days, he took advantage of the postponement of the meeting to contact many large state-owned farms in Beijing. Many times, when the other party heard that he was from a state-owned farm in Eryuan County, Dali, Yunnan Province, they were very impressed.

He left without even turning his head.

Some even thought he was a fraud and asked the guesthouse to check his identity.

Of course, the person he admired most was Comrade Zhang Qianjin.

They actually dared to change the name of the farm to their own, especially in a place like Shanghai.

What's most impressive is that the other party was completely unharmed and was able to attend the meeting openly and legitimately, which made him give them a thumbs up.

Of course, if Zhang Qianjin knew, he would definitely say you're overthinking it.

Although the names are the same, there was a former Qianjin Farm before he changed his name to Zhang Qianjin, which showed his loyalty to the country and the farm.

If he first calls himself Zhang Qianjin, and then dares to rename the farm Qianjin Farm, then he's simply had enough of living!
This order is very important and absolutely cannot be messed up.

As more and more people entered the venue, Su Wenchen, who was sitting in the first row, was approached by an official wearing an armband to discuss the order of speaking at the reception.

Yang Fusheng followed Zhang Qianjin's gaze and looked over.

Seeing this, he showed a hint of envy and then spoke directly to Zhang Qianjin.

"Comrade Qianjin, aren't you also surprised that such a young comrade is sitting in the first row?"

"Let me tell you, he's no ordinary person. You know the famous Moon Rabbit, right?"

"They were cultivated on their farm! And I also heard that the meeting was postponed because of their Blue Water Farm."

"It is said that the delegation was personally led by a leader from the ministry."

Then, still somewhat curious, he continued.

"I don't know what happened at Blue Water Farm this time. I only heard that they went to inspect Blue Water Farm, but I can't find out the specific reasons."

"Comrade Qianjin, do you know the specific details?"

"I see that comrade is still organizing his notes; he's about to go up and speak!"

"Damn it, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious! When I was this young, I was still studying in school!"

"They've already risen to the position of leader of a national-level farm."

"Comrade Qianjin, don't you agree?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Qianjin, who had a blank expression.

"Hey, Comrade Qianjin, what's with that expression?"

"Do you know?"

Zhang Qianjin suppressed his other emotions and took a deep breath.

"I know him, we're old friends!"

He then added.

"I think you have a point. When I was that age, I was just a regular technician!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fusheng felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh~ Comrade Qianjin, I didn't know you two actually knew each other."

"I'm really sorry."

Zhang Qianjin shook his head.

"You're right, the differences between people can sometimes be huge, and I'm getting a bit stuck on this."

To be honest, it's hard not to feel a little unbalanced when he suddenly finds that his friends, who were once quite similar to him, have suddenly taken a big step ahead of him.

soon.

After all the participants were seated.

Immediately, staff carried in audio and video recording equipment, set it up in the middle of the aisle, and began to repeatedly test it.

Once everything was ready, the door on the back side of the auditorium opened.

The murmurs from the audience quickly subsided.

Shh—the leaders are here.

As similar words were whispered around, the room immediately fell silent.

The group walked onto the stage.

Su Wenchen looked up and saw that their ministry leader and an elderly man in a black Zhongshan suit were sitting in the middle.

However, the other person was sitting on the left, and it was clear that they were probably taller than their department head.

Su Wenchen thought it was most likely a committee member from the institute.

After they were seated, the other party immediately pushed the microphone in front of their department head.

"I'm just here to hold a meeting. Don't worry about me, just follow your own agenda."

The old man nodded.

He turned on the microphone, and his loud voice echoed throughout the venue.

"First of all, welcome to the agricultural reclamation departments, state-owned farms, production and construction corps from all over the country, and all the leading cadres who have come to attend the meeting!"

"Comrades!"

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. This meeting has been postponed by two days. Because of this two-day delay, many comrades may have to miss the Spring Festival with their families this year."

"But I want to tell everyone that these past two days of waiting were worth it!"

These words immediately sparked a murmur throughout the room.

After surveying the entire room, the old man spoke in a strong and resonant voice.

"Yesterday, together with technicians from the Animal Husbandry Bureau and researchers from the Animal Husbandry Research Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I personally confirmed a major achievement that has an impact on the animal husbandry industry."

"Bluewater Farm has successfully bred a new breed of white pig suitable for the local growing environment!"

"It has been confirmed that this type of white pig can reach the minimum slaughter weight of over 200 jin within six months."

"Furthermore, based on current feed records from Blue Water Farm, if a mixed diet of roughage and concentrate is used, the feed conversion ratio can reach 3.5 to 1!" "It has already undergone three generations of genetic testing, and the genetic traits are stable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in chaos.

"What? Ready for slaughter in six months? They really bred it?"

"This is impossible! Our pig farm has conducted so many experiments. This type of white pig can only be bred generation after generation. How could it suddenly be successful?"

"Yes! We've been trying for so many years without success. We never expected this!"

"Wow~ I was thinking this was going to be a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be this big, and it was all caused by Blue Water Farm!"

It can be said that, for a time, apart from the few leaders sitting in the front row, everyone else was able to maintain a normal expression.

Everyone else in the audience seemed to lose their composure or lose control of their expressions.

Because almost everyone here is from within the agricultural system.

Whether it was a state-owned farm or a production and construction corps, they all had their own pig farms at that time.

They are well aware that raising white pigs that can be slaughtered in six months is difficult enough, but now they have not only raised them but also achieved a feed conversion ratio of 3.5 to 1.

Although a portion of concentrated feed needs to be mixed in, this proportion is already unbelievable for most people in the system.

Zhang Qianjin, sitting in the third row, already looked somewhat dazed.

He knew more than anyone else about Bluewater Farm breeding white pigs.

Because the first pig was taken from their farm.

He even played a little trick at the time, thinking he would make them owe him a small favor.

Looking back now, I realize I was such a fool.

Zhang Qianjin even fantasized about what would happen if that white pig wasn't sent away.

Is it possible that this time, the glory will belong to them at the Forward Farm?

After all, this isn't just about one or two pigs.

This is a matter of national importance and people's livelihood that can affect whether people across the country eat meat.

But then he heard Yang Fusheng's words of admiration beside him.

"This Bluewater Farm is amazing! To be honest, I thought they were just lucky to breed the Moon Rabbit."

"But in this breeding of white pigs, there must have been at least fifty, if not eighty, state-owned enterprises across the country involved!"

"In the end, a newly established farm that had only been built for three years managed to overtake them."

"It's clear that Blue Water Farm really has real skills!"

"It would be great if we could exchange ideas and learn from this farm. Comrade Qianjin, you mentioned earlier that you are old friends with the leaders of Lanshui Farm."

"I wonder if there's any chance we'll have the honor of inviting them to sit with us?"

"Don't worry, I know that many organizations want to invite them right now."

"Let's not let them come for nothing. They can make any requests they have!"

Yang Fusheng knew very well.

An announcement made by the top leader of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in front of leaders of higher-level departments and key subordinate departments could not possibly be a joke.

This also explains why the meeting was postponed by two days. Such a significant event would definitely be announced only after the leader personally went to confirm it in person.

It wasn't just him; basically, no one who came to the conference was stupid.

Therefore, Yang Fusheng felt that he had to take advantage of Zhang Qianjin's acquaintance to see if he could get in touch with Blue Water Farm as soon as possible.

Because the promotion of this type of white pig certainly cannot be done "in a flash" and be distributed nationwide.

At this point, there must be a sequence of events.

Normally, by the time it's promoted to Eryuan County, the daylily will probably be outdated.

It will probably be ten years from now.

Therefore, Yang Fusheng felt that he must seize this opportunity at all costs.

Because once an agreement is reached with Bluewater Farm, the first batch of these white pigs will be imported.

Then, in the future, farms in Yunnan Province and production teams in communes in various regions will all start promoting this from their farms.

At that time, those will all be personal favors and connections!

In this way, at least within the agricultural system of Yunnan Province, his promotion will be virtually unimpeded.

Hearing Yang Fusheng's words of admiration, Zhang Qianjin was gradually pulled back to reality from his fantasy.

Yes.

Bluewater Farm was able to successfully cultivate it, but their Advanced Farm might not have the technology.

Because there's more than just one white pig.

They still have them on their farm!

However, the offspring of crossbreeding are either weak and sickly, or their growth rate is not much different from that of black pigs.

Even if you are lucky enough to breed a fast-growing white pig, its genetic traits are still unstable.

It started to degenerate from the second generation onwards.

So it seems his earlier ideas were just wishful thinking.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Qianjin felt that it might not be a bad thing for them!

After all, they have a good relationship with Blue Water Farm.

Moreover, since the first generation of white pigs was introduced from their farm, the probability of them obtaining the first batch of promotional lists from Bluewater Farm is much higher.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the offspring produced by farms with only average relationships are much better.

At least in the subsequent competition, they gained an initial advantage.

Especially after seeing that most of the people around him were looking in Su Wenchen's direction.

Zhang Qianjin's mood immediately improved.

Damn it, why did you have to compete with a freak?

I'm not a pervert. I can compare myself to other people. Why do I have to compare myself to perverts?
After thinking it through, her complexion immediately became rosy.

Zhang Qianjin was also in a good mood when Yang Fusheng made the suggestion to make an introduction.

"Comrade Fusheng, I can't agree to this on behalf of others. I have to ask my brother Achen."

"If they have no objections, I certainly have no problem with it."

After all, Zhang Qianjin thought the young man next to him was quite good; without his words, he might not have figured things out so quickly!

Upon hearing this, Yang Fusheng immediately became excited.

"Comrade Qianjin, are you brothers with the person in charge of Blue Water Farm?"

"Then you'll have to put in a good word for us. Don't worry, we're just like any other organization; you can make your requests directly."

Yang Fusheng was well aware that the ministry would definitely designate a batch of white pigs for future promotion.

But even a fool could figure it out: it's impossible for their company to have one.

The first batch consisted either of large state-owned farms in the suburbs of Beijing and Shanghai, or production and construction corps in Xinjiang and the Great Northern Wilderness.

At the very least, it has to be a key state-owned livestock unit at the provincial level to be eligible.

So he could only see if he could come up with a solution himself.

Because he knew very well that major farms usually reserved some reserve quotas in advance for such matters.
