1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 70 This Day is So Beautiful
Not only the members of the brigade present here.

Even He Feihuai was shocked by Su Wenchen.

Two hundred thousand.

Their entire commune couldn't come up with so much money at once.

That’s all I earn in a year.

He Feihuai even thought about how much the commune could do if it had these 200,000 yuan.

wrong.

He Feihuai suddenly thought.

This money seemed to be from the Pingcun Brigade, and he had signed a document at the beginning, saying that their brigade would not have to pay a penny to the commune for two years.

It was Su Wenchen who took into consideration at the beginning that although the brigade's industry belonged to the collective economy, the commune still had a lot of say in it.

Because at this time, it doesn’t mean that your brigade is established and becomes a collective industry.

It must be approved by the commune and reported to the county level for filing before it can be considered a formal collective industry.

So naturally, money needs to be paid to the commune, but the amount of money usually depends on the negotiation between the commune and the brigade.

At the beginning, Su Wenchen also asked his father about the current specific policies and how much money other commune industries paid to the commune before deciding to pay 20%.

Because if the offer was too low, he was afraid that Secretary He would go back on his word.

Now the pressure instantly fell on He Feihuai.

It can be said that the line Su Wenchen drew was indeed quite accurate.

If Su Wenchen really didn't give anything at the beginning, then he would have plenty of ways to overturn the signed document.

Whether it was due to policy loopholes, pressure from leadership, or opposition from the commune party committee, he had many ways to go back on his word.

But let him feel a little numb now and want to regret it.

I estimate that the maximum amount can be increased by 10% later, otherwise the team will definitely make trouble.

Moreover, going back on one's word would bring damage to the reputation of the commune.

It doesn't seem worth it for ten or twenty thousand.

After struggling for a long time, He Feihuai finally found that he had no choice but to accept the 20%, as the money would not be available until two years later.

Why did I agree to such conditions at that time?

Reminisced about it.

He finally found the key to the problem. It seemed that the kid was talking about a chicken farm with fifty chickens!

Who would have thought that this boy had such a big heart.

Three hundred thousand kilograms of corn, how many chickens do you need to feed?

He Feihuai made a rough estimate and it seemed that even if there were thousands of chickens, it would take a year to eat them!

Soon, as Li Xiangdong finished his calculations, everyone found that what Su Wenchen said was actually almost the same.

Someone immediately looked at Su Wenchen eagerly.

"Achen, tell me, what should we do to make so much money?"

"What's Old Hu's name? From now on, you should call him Secretary Su. Secretary Su, you just give the orders directly. We will do whatever you say."

Su Wenchen looked at the fiery gazes of the people below.

At this time, even if he wanted to be the team leader, these people would probably persuade his father to make way for the young people as he was old.

The pie is finished.

Just by looking at the people breathing heavily below, Su Wenchen knew that the effect was good. Even his father, who was watching from below, was surprised. Su Wenchen coughed lightly.

"Now that I have stated my goal, let me tell you how we are going to achieve it."

Su Wenchen's voice had just fallen.

There was an immediate echo from below.

"Secretary Su, just tell me what we should do. Should we build a new chicken farm? As long as you say the word, we can find someone to build it tomorrow!"

"Why do we need tomorrow? We can find someone to build it now."

Su Wenchen quickly reached out and pressed down.

"Don't worry, let's do it step by step. We do need to add a cover behind the chicken coop, but we have to add it in an orderly manner according to the corn in our warehouse."

"If we build chicken farms on a large scale, but we can't provide enough feed, the hens won't be able to lay eggs."

"So we have to complete it step by step in stages."

"First, we have to hatch enough chicks before the autumn harvest. Second, we have to ensure sufficient feed supply before the autumn harvest."

Su Wenchen turned and asked Sun Datou, the warehouse manager of the brigade.

"Uncle Sun, how much corn do we have left in the warehouse of our brigade?"

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Sun Datou lowered his head and flipped through his notes and said, "The corn stored in the warehouse has hardly been consumed. There are still more than 90,000 kilograms left. Basically, you transferred more than 1,000 kilograms from the warehouse earlier.

"Not many members came to borrow corn. Those who didn't have enough food at home and chose to borrow food from the brigade in advance with their work allocation basically came to borrow sweet potatoes and potatoes."

Su Wenchen nodded slightly.

He knew that those who could borrow grain from the brigade in advance all came from families in difficult financial situations, and for them they would definitely borrow whichever kind of coarse grain could be exchanged for more.

I calculated in my mind that if these 100,000 kilograms were all used as feed, it would probably be able to feed 2,000 chickens for more than half a year.

However, now their chicken farm can only hatch eggs by themselves, which is much slower. Fortunately, he has bred breeding chickens that can specifically produce fertilized eggs. In this way, if the size of the flock is expanded, the speed can be increased significantly.

So he said directly.

"With this 100,000 kilograms of corn as a base, we can hatch chicks on a large scale."

"This year, I plan to gradually expand the chicken flock to more than 2,000 before the autumn harvest, which is about four months away."

"It just so happens that at that time, these chicks are basically ready to lay eggs. The eggs produced by 2,000 hens in a month can bring our team nearly 12,000 yuan in revenue, and by the end of the year, it will be close to 50,000 yuan in revenue."

"Besides, as the year-end approaches, eggs will definitely become increasingly scarce."

"At that time, we can also take out some eggs and exchange resources with some factories in the county or city for some unplanned items such as defective cloth."

"With this money as a foundation, plus some supplies obtained in exchange, I guarantee that all members will have a good year."

"Gulu!"

Many people swallowed subconsciously while listening to Su Wenchen's description.

The 200,000 that Su Wenchen mentioned earlier was shocking to everyone, but they still felt it was a little far away.

Who knows when it will be possible.

Although they were all willing to work hard to move in the direction described by Su Wenchen, they always felt empty under their feet, as if they were stepping on cotton.

But then Su Wenchen listed the steps one by one and gave detailed data.

Everyone felt that the goal before them suddenly became clear.

Especially when thinking about the New Year, the team suddenly had an income of 50,000 yuan, which is several times more than before!
And if I can really exchange this for defective cloth in the city, wouldn't I be able to buy a new set of clothes for my family during the New Year this year?

If the whole family could wear new clothes to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year this year, many people would feel that this life would be wonderful just by thinking about it.

How majestic that would be!
