It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 1702 Where else can I find it?
"What does he want from me?"

"He said you ran away from the meeting in the middle of it, and he was worried that something might happen to you, so he asked you to write him a reply as soon as possible."

Secretary Fang's eyes rolled. This Old Cai must have noticed something, but he cannot be allowed to get involved in this matter. He is a man who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
"Just tell me...my child has a cold and is getting an injection in the hospital!"

"Good leadership!"

The driver hurried out, and Mr. Xie smiled at Secretary Fang, "If you have something to do at home, go and take care of it. You don't have to stay here to entertain me."

"What are you talking about? You are now a distinguished guest of Hecheng..." Secretary Fang picked up the bottle and filled it up, "Try our locally brewed soju!"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm from the south and I'm used to drinking rice wine and white wine... I really can't handle the alcohol."

"I forgot about this. Let's try our big goose!" Secretary Fang chuckled. Mr. Xie raised his head and said, "Leader Fang, I want to ask, do you have any special industries here? I mean agriculture."

"There are too many specialty industries!" Secretary Fang secretly laughed in his heart. You've hit the nail on the head. "Like pig farming, goose farming, meat deep processing... Let's just talk about rice, it's also our specialty!"

"Yes, indeed, your rice tastes very good!" Mr. Xie tasted the crystal clear rice in the bowl, each grain distinct, like white jade. After savoring it carefully, he gave a thumbs up, "The taste is much better than Thai fragrant rice."

"If we talk about the history of rice, it would take three days and three nights. At first, our area was just an endless grassland, so you probably don't know much about our history..."

"I've only heard of going to Guandong." Mr. Xie smiled. "Going to Guandong, going to the West, and going to Southeast Asia are all portrayals of the large-scale population movement in the late Qing Dynasty. My family took advantage of the trend to go to Southeast Asia. After several generations of hard work, we accumulated a little family business."

"Yes, yes. At the end of that turbulent dynasty, a large number of Shandong people came to the Northeast with wheelbarrows. At that time, our area was still a large grassland belonging to the Durburt Banner of the Jirim League. The local Mongolian princes recruited people to reclaim wasteland and settle refugees, which led to the Northeast people today."

Mr. Xie put down his chopsticks, put his hands on his knees, and listened with interest. After all, he is also a descendant of "immigrants".

"My ancestors were also from Shandong, the Fang family from Qingzhou, Shandong. Around the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, my ancestors pushed a wheelbarrow and traveled through mountains and rivers to the northeast, settled in Tailai County, and reclaimed wasteland to grow crops..."

Seeing that Mr. Xie was very interested in this period of history and was fascinated by what he heard, Secretary Fang simply catered to his interests and talked about all sorts of things, telling the story of his family's journey to Guandong.

"It turns out that your family is also not easy!"

A piece of family history resonated with Mr. Xie. He lifted his sleeves to wipe away his tears. "My ancestors came from Shantou, Guangdong. My father went to Southeast Asia alone. It was difficult to start a business along the way!"

The descendants of the two "immigrants" looked at each other and sighed deeply, lamenting how difficult life was for their ancestors, who had to leave their homes and seek food in other places just to have a full meal.

After a conversation, both of them felt much closer and were no longer as restrained towards each other as before. Secretary Fang then changed the topic to the agricultural advantages of Hecheng.

"Our rice is a long story. Back then, the Japanese invaded Northeast China and set up several armed pioneering groups in Hecheng. They seized the land of local farmers and built rice fields, leaving behind rice seeds and farming techniques. After liberation, we took back the land seized by the pioneering groups and developed high-yield rice varieties based on it. This is how we got the unique Northeast rice we have today..."

"No wonder it tastes so sweet! It turns out that this rice is an immigrant just like us!"

Mr. Xie took another sip and made a joke, making them both laugh.

"Your rice is a good project to develop. I am very surprised!" After tasting the rice in Hecheng, Mr. Xie exclaimed sincerely, "How much planting area can be achieved now?"

"A lot. Basically, the entire northern part of Nahe County is covered with rice fields. Fuyu, Longjiang, Gannan... all have large-scale rice cultivation. In terms of annual output, the total rice output of our city last year was about 3 billion catties, with an average yield of 650 per mu..."

"Three billion catties... we can develop it!" Mr. Xie stared at the rice bowl, thinking. Secretary Fang observed his expression and was delighted. He had long planned to process grain, especially to sell rice to the south, but it was difficult to accomplish it on his own. After all, grain was a resource controlled by the state and needed to be coordinated with the National Grain Reserve Bureau.

Furthermore, sales are also a problem.

"What else is there besides food?"

"Pigs. Our city's piglet inventory has reached one million this year, with 400,000 in Nahe alone. There are also geese. The current inventory has exceeded two million. It is expected that by the end of this year, we will be able to provide 60 million kilograms of goose meat and 500 tons of goose down..."

"Goose down?"

Mr. Xie was stunned. Goose down?

"It is used to make winter down jackets. It is very popular in our northern region. Our city is also the largest goose down production base in the country!"

When Secretary Fang said this, he leaned back slightly, raised his neck high, and looked very proud!
That’s right, isn’t it?

We have even established a mature goose down trading market!

There is also a complete set of effective goose down classification standards and inspection and quarantine measures!
Where else can you find it?
Have it?

"This is a good project!" Mr. Xie's eyes lit up. Although he has lived in tropical areas for many years and is not familiar with goose down, when he thinks about its functions and potential customer groups, he immediately realizes how broad its market prospects are!
"This project is also very good!" Mr. Xie smiled. What Seventh Sister said was absolutely right. Little Hecheng was a place that could bring him enough surprises!

"Two!" Secretary Fang rubbed his hands excitedly. If we could build two big factories directly, how many jobs would they be able to provide?

How much output value is created?
OK!
"By the way, let me ask you something. Sun Jianping, where is he now?"

"You mean our Nahe County Mayor Comrade Sun Jianping? He still lives in the countryside. The young man has made up his mind that as long as there is still an adobe house in the countryside, he will never build a new house and live in a high-rise building!"

"He's a good young man." Mr. Xie smiled. "His Seventh Aunt and I are business partners. I often hear her mention this man, so I am also very curious. This time I can come to your place for inspection, thanks to the strong recommendation of Seventh Sister."

"Then please help me thank Ms. Qian!"

"Of course. By the way, leader, do you have a map of Hecheng?"

The secretary stepped forward and whispered, "President, you should rest! It's already 9:30 in the evening!"

"No, no, no, I drink with friends and recite poems to people who understand me. It's rare that I get along so well with Leader Fang today. I would like to have a chat by candlelight. How about we chat all night long?"

"That's what I want!" Secretary Fang was all smiles. "Let's have a long talk and plan the future development direction of Hecheng!"

"Haha, you think too highly of me. I'm just looking for investment opportunities!"

"You're welcome. It's a blessing for all the people in the city that you can build a factory here!"

The two chatted excitedly and cleared the cups and plates off the table. Secretary Fang took out a map and spread it on the table. "First of all, our location advantage is very obvious. We are located on the eastern foot of the Greater Khingan Range, with the Nen River, Nuomin River and Yarlung River flowing through. The annual precipitation is about 0.7 millimeters, and the annual average temperature is between 4.2 and degrees Celsius. We have a large area of ​​river alluvial plains..."

As soon as Sun Jianping arrived at the office early in the morning, he received a call from Secretary Fang, asking him to put down all the work at hand and come to Hecheng!
