Chapter 64: This Little Comrade is Truly a Talent
However, there are still relevant procedures to be handled. Establishing a breeding farm is not as simple as setting up an oil pressing workshop, and it also requires approval from the commune.
Since Song Chu is the initiator and will also be the future director of the breeding farm, Tang Min suggested that she go to the commune with him.
Naturally, Song Chu would not object. By making it official, even if someone becomes envious in the future and wants to take her position as the director, it won’t be so easy.
The next day, the two of them went to Changba Commune together.
Secretary Cai of the commune happened to be in his office. Seeing Tang Min bringing in a beautiful young girl, he was a little curious about their purpose.
“Hello, Secretary Cai!” Tang Min smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Secretary Cai.
He then introduced Song Chu, and Song Chu also stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.
Secretary Cai smiled and shook hands, “Please, sit.”
Then he had someone bring two cups of tea.
“Do you have some business here today?” Secretary Cai asked first.
Tang Min smiled and took out the proposal Song Chu had prepared from his bag, “Our village wants to start a breeding farm. This is the proposal. We want to get approval from the commune and establish it as a village collective and state-operated enterprise.”
Secretary Cai was stunned. He obviously didn’t expect Xiaba Village to want to start a breeding farm. He took the proposal first, “Let me take a look.”
Initially, he wasn’t very concerned. He didn’t think a breeding farm could be established just by thinking about it.
But after reading the proposal, he put away his initial casual attitude, “You also cooperated with the County Machinery Factory to produce some kind of chick incubator?”
This point caught his attention, after all, no village in the commune had any cooperation with a large factory in the county.
Recently, he had also heard some things about Xiaba Village setting up an oil pressing workshop and exchanging goods with a large factory in the county.
He originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems it might not be.
Song Chu smiled and said, “Yes, once the chick incubators are mass-produced, our village can be the first to use them.”
Secretary Cai thought for a moment and said, “It’s not easy to run a breeding farm. Although your proposal is quite detailed, it’s not simple to actually operate it. How can I be sure that you can successfully run it?”
Song Chu had already prepared her response, “We have also done extensive research, consulted various sources, and asked for the experience of some skilled poultry farmers. We have summarized a set of scientific methods for raising chickens and ducks. That’s why we want to give it a try, and we believe we will succeed.”
“If our village succeeds, it can also serve as a demonstration site. At that time, not only will it be easier for the machinery factory to promote the chick incubators, but our commune will also be known by various agencies in the county and other communes.”
“And if it’s successful, other villages under the commune can also learn from it and find a suitable development path.”
“Of course, all of this is premised on the leadership of Director Cai, only then can it be completed and achieved.”
After listening to her, Secretary Cai fell into deep thought. He felt that it made a lot of sense.
This was no longer just about starting a breeding farm, it was also an experimental ground for the machinery factory’s chick incubators.
At that time, other communes or breeding farms would definitely take the initiative to visit and inspect. If it’s successful, it will definitely make a name for itself.
He was somewhat tempted, but he was also hesitant, fearing that if it failed, it would reflect poorly on the commune.
Seeing his hesitation, Song Chu smiled and meaningfully added, “I heard that the newly appointed Vice-County Magistrate is focusing on economic development. If our breeding farm is successful, it might catch his eye, and our commune can also develop better.”
In this way, the leaders of the commune would naturally catch the eye of the county leaders. She didn’t say it explicitly, but she believed the other party would understand.
Sure enough, Director Cai also thought of this. He looked at Song Chu carefully and realized that this little comrade was not simple.
No wonder she could deal with the large factories in the county. Her poised and eloquent demeanor was much better than many village brigade leaders.
“Little Comrade Song, you even know about the Vice-County Magistrate?”
◈◈◈
He had only heard last week when he went to a meeting in the county that this newly transferred Vice-County Magistrate wanted to focus on economic development. But this little comrade also knew about it, which surprised him greatly.
Song Chu smiled and said, “I just heard about it. And I have met the Vice-County Magistrate. He is a good leader who likes to do practical things.”
She added, “He even gave me a phone number and told me to contact him if I needed anything.”
This was not a lie, but she was just using his name to make her case stronger.
“Ah, you know the Vice-County Magistrate?” Secretary Cai was shocked. Was it true?
“Yes, but we are not very close.”
Song Chu took out the piece of paper that Sheng Qingyang had given her and handed it over, “This is what he wrote for me.”
Secretary Cai took the piece of paper and looked at the number on it. He took out a notebook from a drawer, which contained the phone numbers of many leaders in the county.
All the communes had these numbers, but they usually wouldn’t dare to call them.
Sure enough, the number on the piece of paper matched the one for the Vice-County Magistrate’s office. This made him even more surprised.
So this little comrade really did know the Vice-County Magistrate. This was a big deal.
His smile deepened, “I think Little Comrade Song is truly a talent. This breeding farm proposal is also very detailed. Then you can try to start it. The commune will also give its full support.”
He was already somewhat tempted, and now with the added weight of the Vice-County Magistrate, this breeding farm had to be established.
Otherwise, if Song Chu went directly to him, he would be in trouble.
What do you mean not very familiar? How can you give a phone number directly if you are not familiar?
Besides, if it really succeeds as Song Chu said, their commune can also catch the eye of those above, and this can also be considered his achievement.
Song Chu said excitedly, “I knew Secretary Cai is also a good leader who likes to do practical things. With your support and leadership, I believe we will definitely succeed and make the breeding farm bigger and stronger, making it known throughout the county.”
In the future, no matter what other farms they want to establish or what major things they want to do, they will have to deal with this commune secretary. They must establish a good relationship, otherwise, even a small obstacle could cause them a lot of trouble.
This was also the biggest reason why she brought up Sheng Qingyang.
Sheng Qingyang had no idea that a number he casually wrote down was being used in this way. He sneezed several times in a row while sitting in his office.
Secretary Cai smiled brightly, “I also believe that you can run the breeding farm well. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to the commune and find me. As long as it is within our capabilities, we will provide assistance.”
He didn’t overpromise. What was within their capabilities could be done, but what was beyond their capabilities could not.
But this was enough for Song Chu. She believed that after the breeding farm succeeded, Secretary Cai would proactively give more support in the future.
“Okay, we will definitely come to the commune if we have any difficulties.”
Song Chu changed the subject and said, “But we will try our best to overcome difficulties and not drag the commune down.”
“Little Comrade Song has a high level of awareness. Keep up the good work in the future.” Secretary Cai found that this little comrade was truly a talent. Since he had decided to agree, he naturally wouldn’t just say it. He also had to show his support through actions.
He then personally took Song Chu and the others to get the approval documents for the collective state-operated farm.
