1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 346 He only likes to make empty promises, not to actually eat them!
The next two days or so.

Su Wenchen was mainly busy perfecting his plan, gradually combining the technological advantages of Blue Water Farm with the conditions of the times, while also making the most of the existing resources in the four counties.

Furthermore, the four counties should develop in a coordinated manner, rather than having one county produce something and the others immediately follow suit.

Although following trends is low-cost, this kind of homogenized development plan does not offer much benefit to the newly established special economic zone.

After all, they're competing with their own people.

Therefore, he had to develop differentiated development directions for the four counties.

Having spent half the day writing at his desk, Su Wenchen rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and neck.

open the window.

"A light drizzle was falling from the eaves."

After entering summer, Fengxian County inevitably experiences more rainfall.

This will effectively dispel the summer heat.

But for Su Wenchen and his team, this was not a good thing, because it would seriously delay their project progress.

Fortunately, they had already harvested their summer grain; otherwise, if they had encountered this kind of weather while harvesting wheat, Su Wenchen would have been truly devastated.

Looking at the light drizzle outside the window, Su Wenchen felt that Fengxian County seemed quite suitable for developing an orchard economy.

The terrain is flat, with abundant sunshine and simultaneous rainfall and heat.

Developing the edible fungi industry is not at all in conflict with my previous plans and the technological advantages brought by the microbiology research station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Su Wenchen remembered that when he first came here, he talked with the then director of Feng County, who also wanted to develop the fruit industry.

However, the introduction of fruit trees has not been smooth. On the one hand, they wanted to introduce crisp pears from Dangshan, and on the other hand, they also wanted to introduce other industries such as apples.

Unfortunately, all of these efforts yielded little result, mainly because the family's resources were too limited.

In addition, since it used to be in a different province from Dangshan County, it was not easy to get coordination from higher authorities.

Just as Su Wenchen had been standing for a while and had just sat back down...

"Jingle Bell--!"

On the desktop, the red phone that had just been connected a few days ago started ringing with an urgent notification sound.

"Hello, this is Su Wenchen from Blue Water Farm!"

"Xiao Su, you need to change how you address me from now on. You can't just represent the farm! The people of the special economic zone all depend on you!"

Hearing the leader's smiling voice on the phone, accompanied by the crackling white noise of the old-fashioned telephone due to signal problems on rainy days.

Su Wenchen laughed directly.

"What the leader says is true, but I haven't officially taken office yet!"

"It's not good that this was changed ahead of schedule."

"Haha, so it seems it's my fault after all? I informed you too late."

"However, I will go over with a leader from the planning committee of the institute tomorrow to help you with the plaque hanging."

"They should arrive around noon tomorrow. You can send a few cars to pick them up at Xuzhou Railway Station."

Su Wenchen didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Boss, are you arriving tomorrow at noon? We haven't prepared anything yet!"

"What kind of hospitality should we prepare then?"

The old man politely declined.

"No need to prepare anything, just prepare a place for the meeting. These ceremonies and such are not that important."

"You should know that the reason why the two provincial governments agreed to give up four counties this time is because these four counties do indeed have few resources."

"Your main task is to develop these four counties and improve the lives of the people in these four counties. This is much more important than any ceremony."

"In addition, you sent me an article back then explaining the various benefits of establishing a new special economic zone. Now that the higher authorities have given you the greatest support, it's time for you to realize those benefits."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately felt aggrieved.

"Boss, you're still talking about this!"

"Is that what I meant now? What I meant back then was that each of the two provinces should set aside two counties to establish a special development zone."

"Then our farm acts as the mediator. We mainly develop the livestock industry, and the four counties can take over our supporting industries."

For Su Wenchen, at the time he never dared to imagine that the higher authorities would directly assign him to govern four counties.

Upon hearing Su Wenchen's words, the old man also spoke up directly.

"This is not my idea. It was decided by the higher-ups at the discussion meeting, mainly to prevent a situation where multiple leaders are involved and each tries to pass the buck."

"As for the special economic zone, apart from the two deputy directors sent by the two provinces to coordinate, you can arrange the other personnel directly."

"Xiao Su, work hard. As long as the special economic zone develops well, you will soon be promoted again."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately rolled his eyes.

How can we promise him a happy ending?
He only likes to make empty promises, but he doesn't actually like to live off them!
"Boss, this is too abstract! We need to get this more practical!"

"After all, you are the director of the Special Economic Zone Management Committee! This development can't be left to me to do all the work!"

“I understand that you are busy with work, but if we can’t provide manpower, we can provide material resources.”

Upon hearing Su Wenchen's words, the old man on the other end of the phone began to mutter under his breath.

“I told you I couldn’t call Xiao Su, she would definitely ask me for help.”

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"Well, I originally planned to appoint you directly as the director of the management committee, but since the special economic zone is under the provincial-level planning and management authority, your rank is still a bit too low, so I only gave you the title in name only."

"Xiao Su, I'm here to help you solve your problem!"

"That's enough for today! I have some other things to take care of."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added a few more sentences.

“Hey, Xiao Su! Don’t always try to push things with the ministry. Let me tell you, the leader I’m accompanying this time is one of the heads of our Planning Commission.”

"They have far more resources than our department. If you want to support you, you have to choose the right people, understand?"

"Alright, think about it yourself!" "But don't resort to underhanded tricks!"

"I believe you're a smart guy."

After that, he hung up the phone.

After hearing the busy tone on the phone, Su Wenchen thoughtfully put the receiver down.

He muttered to himself.

"It seems that from now on, the planning of our special economic zone will be coordinated with the State Planning Commission."

"So this is also our boss!"

"Since he's my boss, it's perfectly reasonable to give him some support."

"After all, our output will have to be coordinated with the State Planning Commission in the future, so this is the initial investment!"

"If there's no input, where will the output come from?"

"It seems that we need to carefully consider the development prospects of this special economic zone. This is the first round of investment, and I really need to try my best to secure it."

Especially considering that I'll be arriving by noon tomorrow, the timing is a bit rushed.

Although the leader said we didn't need to receive any guests, we can't really not receive any guests at all!

At the very least, it has to look presentable, and at the very least, it has to make people feel that it's sincere, right?
Even with poor conditions, there are arrangements to make.

So he picked up the receiver again and called Fengxian County directly.

"Hello, this is the Fengxian Revolutionary Committee."

Upon hearing the operator's voice, Su Wenchen spoke directly.

"I am Su Wenchen, and I am looking for your Director Shi."

By this time, news of the establishment of the special economic zone had naturally spread throughout the counties.

Upon hearing this, the female operator immediately became nervous.

"Director Su, please wait a moment, I'll go find our Director Shi right away."

After finishing speaking, he quickly put down the receiver and jogged towards the leader's office.

Su Wenchen didn't have to wait long before he heard Shi Yingduan's slightly panting voice coming through the receiver.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

"Is there anything you need to explain?"

Su Wenchen didn't have time for formalities and went straight to the point.

"Tomorrow, the leaders of our department will personally accompany the leaders from above to help us officially launch the special economic zone."

"We'll arrive at Xuzhou Railway Station around noon. We'll pick you up then. I don't have the phone numbers for the other counties, so please let them know. Just meet at Xuzhou Railway Station around 10 a.m. tomorrow."

Upon hearing Su Wenchen's words, Shi Yingduan was immediately surprised.

"Director, will your superiors come down in person?"

"Okay, I'll call them myself to let them know!"

"Alright, I still need to prepare other reception work. Just let them know. We can talk about other things at the train station."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yingduan immediately called Li Kun in Pei County.

"Old Li, the director just called me. The higher-ups will be coming over tomorrow to help with the plaque hanging."

"The director asked me to tell you that we should go to Xuzhou Railway Station around nine o'clock to prepare."

"I have some other things to prepare here. You can also inform Dangshan and Xiaoxian while you're at it."

Li Kun stared at the phone that had been abruptly hung up, muttering to himself.

"Why did the director notify you first? Is it because I haven't been going there often enough?"

"Old Shi really did have the advantage of being close to the source!"

However, I still notified Dangshan County.

"Old Wang, a top leader is coming down tomorrow. He'll arrive at Xuzhou Station in the morning. The director wants us to go there around 8 a.m. to prepare to welcome him."

“You’re familiar with Xiao County, so you can just let him know when the time comes.”

"okay, I get it!"

However, when Wang Rongshan made the call to Zhao Guohua in Xiao County...

"Old Zhao, Li Kun told me that a high-ranking leader will be coming down tomorrow morning to help us officially open the special economic zone."

"They want us to go to Xuzhou Station around 8 o'clock, but I think it's far from here, so we should get there around 7 o'clock."

Hearing Wang Rongshan's words, Zhao Guohua had no doubts.

“Okay, let’s go there as soon as possible so we can prepare in advance. To be honest, I didn’t expect that our special economic zone would actually be able to get the leaders from above to come in person.”

"It seems the higher-ups really value our special zone. We might have really run into trouble this time."

"Then I won't talk to you anymore, I need to go and get ready."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Guohua immediately called the drivers' team.

"Notify the drivers to leave work early today, get some rest tonight, and set off at six o'clock tomorrow morning for Xuzhou Station."

In the office, Su Wenchen was unaware that the news was being passed down layer by layer, with the timeframe getting earlier and earlier.

They actually moved the time from 10 o'clock to 6 o'clock instead of the original 10 o'clock.

However, he really didn't have time to attend to anything else.

Looking at the rain pouring down outside again, I couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Rainy days naturally cause a lot of delays.

However, there's nothing he can do about it. Who can control the rain when it's going to rain? At least not at this time.

I could only pick up the raincoat hanging on the clothes rack.

I walked towards the logistics department in the rain.
