Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Chapter 890 Zhou Ziwen's Proposal
"Well, actually, Landrace pigs are not very easy to raise. They require very advanced breeding techniques. And people don't seem to like Landrace pigs very much, so whether to raise them or not is up to you to decide!"

Professor Liu didn't want to cheat them, so he directly pointed out the disadvantages of Landrace pigs.

In fact, Wu Dagang’s problem is also Professor Liu’s worry.

Their Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College is currently promoting excellent livestock breeds, and the Landrace pig is one of the livestock they are focusing on promoting.

However, it is difficult to promote the new breed of Landrace pig.

Many villagers are skeptical and conservative about new varieties, fearing losses from breeding failures.

Moreover, Landrace pigs have relatively high requirements for breeding environment and feed, which is a considerable challenge for some rural areas with limited breeding conditions.

So when Professor Liu saw that Zhou Ziwen had the intention to raise Landrace pigs, he immediately became excited.

Just look at the mushroom cultivation base and you will know that Dabazi Village is quite receptive to new things.

Of course, through understanding, he also knew that the reason why this village was different from other villages was entirely because of the young man in front of him.

If this village is willing to raise pigs, perhaps they can complete their promotion task this year.

Zhou Ziwen also found that Professor Liu was too enthusiastic.

He asked tentatively, "Professor Liu, you seem to want our village to raise Landrace pigs?"

Professor Liu looked at Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang and knew he couldn't hide it, so he smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, this year the college has assigned us a task target for promoting Landrace pigs. If we fail to complete it, it will affect some of our assessments and project progress. So when I saw that your village had this intention, I especially hope to make it happen."

Zhou Ziwen's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Then Professor Liu, can you tell us in detail the specific requirements and goals of this promotion task?"

Professor Liu thought for a moment and replied, "We need to allow a certain number of villages to successfully raise Landrace pigs within a certain period of time and to reach the corresponding breeding scale and efficiency standards. At present, the progress is not very smooth, and many villages have refused for various reasons."

Professor Liu’s words made Zhou Ziwen fall into deep thought.

Indeed, as a new breed of pig, although the Landrace pig has many advantages, it is difficult to breed and has high requirements for the environment and feed, which is indeed a problem.

But he has breeding skills, and has reached level four.

At this point, raising pigs was not difficult for him.

But raising Landrace pigs requires a lot of investment, although as long as he asks, Wu Dagang and the team leader will definitely agree.

But since Professor Liu is so urgent, let's have a good chat.

Before, he wanted to find piglets from Landrace pigs, but now the situation is the other way around, and it is Professor Liu who asked him to raise them.

This reversal of the relationship between the primary and the secondary must bring some benefits.

His eyes turned to Professor Liu, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

"Professor Liu, you also said that it is difficult to raise Landrace pigs, and the requirements for the environment and feed are also high. If we really decide to raise Landrace pigs, can you provide us with some help?" Zhou Ziwen asked tentatively.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Professor Liu, your college is promoting Landrace pigs. If we can successfully breed Landrace pigs, it will be a great help to your college's promotion work, right?"

Professor Liu nodded in agreement.

On the side, Wu Dagang and President Fu looked at Zhou Ziwen silently.

They felt that Professor Liu was about to be led into a ditch.

It's a pity that such a professor, an honest man devoted to research, was controlled by Zhou Ziwen.

But there is a difference between close and distant relatives. Zhou Ziwen is an educated youth from Dabazi Village, and Dabazi Village and the commune were originally one.

If they could really get some benefits from Professor Liu, they would be so happy!
Only the captain was still a little unresponsive. But he and Wu Dagang had a tacit understanding, and seeing Wu Dagang's silence, he simply kept silent.

Here, Zhou Ziwen continued speaking.

"Professor Liu, I think we can work together."

"Your college provides piglets and breeding technology, and we are responsible for breeding. Once the breeding is successful, we can promote the successful experience to other villages, which will also be beneficial to the promotion work of your college."

"What do you mean?" Professor Liu was a little unresponsive.

"Professor Liu, what I mean is that we can establish a cooperative relationship."

"Your college provides Landrace piglets and technical guidance, and our village is responsible for providing breeding grounds and daily management."

"Once the Landrace pig breeding is successful, we can not only supply it to our village, but also promote it to other villages to help you complete the promotion task."

Seeing that Professor Liu didn't quite understand, he explained it in detail.

After listening to Zhou Ziwen's explanation, Professor Liu was somewhat excited, but also a little hesitant.

He finally reacted now.

If what Zhou Ziwen said is true, then they will have to provide technical guidance and produce piglets!

As for Zhou Ziwen, he was only responsible for raising the baby.

Thinking of this, he felt as if he had suffered a loss.

Zhou Ziwen saw Professor Liu's hesitation. He knew what Professor Liu was worried about, so he comforted him, "Professor Liu, don't worry. Since our village has decided to raise Landrace pigs, we will definitely do our best."

“Moreover, if we succeed, we can serve as a demonstration site for your college to promote Landrace pigs, which will be of great help to your college’s promotion work.”

Professor Liu nodded. Zhou Ziwen was right. If Dabazi Village could successfully raise Landrace pigs and become a demonstration site, it would be very beneficial to the college's promotion work.

He thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Ziwen, your suggestion is very good, but I need to think about it. After all, this involves the allocation of resources in the academy."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, saying, "Professor Liu, please take your time to think about it. We will also seriously prepare for matters related to breeding. If you have any questions, you can communicate with us at any time."

From Professor Liu's attitude, it can be seen that he really wants to agree.

Professor Liu fell into deep thought after hearing Zhou Ziwen's suggestion.

He knew that if he could successfully promote the Landrace pig, it would be a huge achievement for the college and would also add luster to his career.

However, he was also worried that if resources were invested but the expected results were not achieved in the end, it would be a loss for both the college and him personally.

Zhou Ziwen saw Professor Liu's hesitation and decided to add fuel to the fire.

He smiled and said, "Professor Liu, we can sign a cooperation agreement to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both parties. In this way, the college's investment will be guaranteed."

When Professor Liu heard Zhou Ziwen's suggestion to sign a cooperation agreement, his eyes lit up. This proposal undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

If the cooperation agreement can clearly define the rights and responsibilities of both parties, then the college's investment will be guaranteed. This will also be a very convincing point when he returns to report to the college leaders.

"Comrade Ziwen, your proposal is very good. Signing a cooperation agreement can indeed protect the interests of both parties, and it will give me more confidence when I go back to discuss with the college leaders."

Professor Liu nodded and expressed his approval of Zhou Ziwen's proposal.
