1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 142 Shanghai Plastic Products Factory No.

Early in the morning.

Su Wenchen and Xu Xiangqian walked out of the guesthouse together.

The Shanghai stock market in the early morning gave Su Wenchen a feeling that everything was busy.

There were long queues at some roadside stalls, including workers, women with children, and elderly people, many of whom were waiting for breakfast to be served.

In front of some shengjian shops, many anxious workers quickly bought a few shengjianbao, packed them up, and then jumped on their bicycles and sped away.

Xu Xiangqian looked at the scene in front of him in shock. There were actually many small shops and makeshift stalls at the entrance of the street and the alley. Everyone was busy. He looked at Su Wenchen with some confusion.

"Manager, are they setting up stalls so openly? Can private individuals do business here?"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It shouldn't be allowed, but I see people around me are used to it and do it openly, so it's probably the business of the street office."

Su Wenchen felt that the nature of the other party was probably the same as their commune’s industry.

Part of the other party’s income should be handed over to the street office, and the rest should be paid to them as personal wages.

Otherwise, with Shanghai's population of hundreds of millions, if it relied solely on state-owned restaurants, some people would probably not be able to get breakfast even if they had to queue up at noon.

Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Xu Xiangqian still felt a little emotional.

"Don't people in Shanghai cook in the morning? Why do I see so many people, adults and children, eating out?"

Su Wenchen glanced at Xu Xiangqian and replied unhappily.

"How should I know? I've never been here before. I guess there are a lot of factories around here, so everyone is willing to spend some money on breakfast!"

"I guess those factories don't have that many areas. They're definitely not like this one."

Su Wenchen knew that even a city could not be a prosperous and bustling place, and there must be people who were not so well-off.

They just happened not to meet.

at this time.

A voice sounded behind the two of them.

"You are an outsider!"

The two turned around and found that it was a middle-aged woman passing by. She seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, so she came over curiously.

It was just the other party’s dialect that made Xu Xiangqian a little confused.

Su Wenchen smiled and nodded.

"Hello!"

"We're here on business!"

Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the other party was a little surprised, and the next moment he looked at him quite enthusiastically.

"Hey! You've learned the local dialect well. Are you planning to come out for breakfast?"

"I'm telling you, if you're from outside, you must try this fried dumpling."

"Nu, that one is good, very cheap, only five cents each, and very delicious!"

Hearing this, Su Wenchen smiled and nodded.

"Okay then. Thank you for your recommendation, Auntie. We'll go try it later."

After a while, Su Wenchen watched the kind-hearted middle-aged woman walk into the dumpling shop she had just introduced, put on an apron, and joined the busy team.

Su Wenchen sighed repeatedly upon seeing this.

Wow, I was wondering why he was so enthusiastic, it turns out he was trying to attract customers for his own company.

Xu Xiangqian looked at it with surprise.

"Captain, when did you learn the local dialect here? Didn't you say you had never been here before?"

Su Wenchen gave him a displeased look.

"You can't learn the complicated things, and you can't even learn two words! Haven't you heard what everyone on the street is saying?"

"Learning a few words of the local dialect will make it easier to get closer to people when you talk to them, and their vigilance will be reduced a little. Look how enthusiastic that auntie was just now!"

However, Su Wenchen also knew that this mainly depended on the questions he asked. If he asked people where they lived or whether they had children at home, then no matter how well you spoke the dialect, other people's vigilance would not be reduced in the slightest.

When Xu Xiangqian heard this, he immediately wrote it down.

"Okay, sir. I'll learn a couple of common phrases later. They might be useful when I go looking for information later."

"But I think that auntie is probably trying to attract business for her family."

Su Wenchen smiled.

"Let's go and have breakfast first. A fried dumpling costs five cents, and a whole meal costs twenty or thirty cents. You also need food coupons to buy it. This price is really not cheap."

"Manager, are you really going to that place?"

"Anyway, I don't know which one is good, but since they've invited me, I might as well go and try it!"

In a small street shop.

Su Wenchen and Xu Xiangqian ate four steamed buns and drank a bowl of sweet soy milk.

Xu Xiangqian touched his belly.

"Manager, that auntie really didn't lie to us. These steamed buns actually have pork and soup inside. They are so delicious! I think I can eat ten of them!"

Su Wenchen gave him an unpleasant look.

"Ten, why don't you go eat a hundred."

Xu Xiangqian touched his belly.

"Haha, then I can't eat even if I want to."

"But this is indeed a big city. They can actually eat pork every morning. They are so lucky. When will we be able to reach this level over there?"

Hearing this, Su Wenchen shook his head slightly.

"If our Lan City wants to reach this scale, it must be developed!"

But for Su Wenchen, it’s just a simple meal of meat!
He felt that if he worked hard, it might be possible for the county to reach this level.

In Shanghai, there are dozens of farms of all sizes around, and a large number of communes around it that supply materials to this big city.

But the population base is too large after all.

On their side, although there are relatively few farms, animal husbandry and industry are still in the early stages of development.

But the population is much smaller than here.

In this situation, Su Wenchen felt that if he was given a few years, their farm should have no problem supplying enough meat to the surrounding areas of Lan City.

In addition, with the existence of the panel, he basically does not have to worry about the most fatal problem in animal husbandry, which is the large-scale infection of livestock diseases.

Su Wenchen knew clearly that this was his core competitiveness.

The problem of infectious diseases in livestock has not been completely solved until later generations. The best we can do is prevent it and reduce the probability of its occurrence.

Let alone animals, humans haven’t solved their own diseases yet.

And those abilities such as training and promotion.

In Su Wenchen's opinion, these are all extras. It would be best if they were there, but he could accept it without them.

After eating.

Su Wenchen and Xu Xiangqian split up into two groups.

Xu Xiangqian went to inquire about the news from Qianjin Farm.

And he went to the Seventh Plastic Factory to see how credible Zhang Qianjin's words were. As for whether he could come back or not, Su Wenchen was not really worried.

People who traffick in this era usually target children and women.

Ga Yaozi was not popular at that time, and even the illegal coal mines did not seem to be many at that time, so it was basically unlikely that they would come here to kidnap men.

Ok.

It’s not that Su Wenchen looked down on Xu Xiangqian. Even if someone really came to kidnap a man, they would choose a strong worker.

Even if Xu Xiangqian's small stature could get the job, the owner of the illegal coal mine might not be willing to pay for it unless he gave it away for free.

I’m afraid that the other party will die in the pit within two days.

Arrive at your destination.

Su Wenchen looked at the white wooden unit nameplate hanging in front of him.

There were a few big black words written on it: Shanghai Plastic Products Factory No. 7.

This huge and eye-catching slogan is printed on both sides of the gate.

"Go to work happily and leave work safely."

Su Wenchen glanced around casually again and found no less than four slogans.

There are eye-catching slogans everywhere on the walls and under the eaves.

There are slogans of security, slogans of development, and slogans of revolution.

Su Wenchen was a little surprised. It seemed that there were quite a lot of slogans in big cities.

Su Wenchen asked the person in the message room to notify someone, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a white shirt came out.

When he saw Su Wenchen, he was stunned at first, then he saw that Su Wenchen was the only one at the door, so he walked forward quickly.

"Hello! You must be Comrade Su Wenchen from the Blue Water Chicken Farm!"

Seeing this, Su Wenchen also went up to greet him with a smile.

"Hello, comrade. I'm Su Wenchen. Our chicken farm should have had some brief communication with your factory before I came here."

"It's not like you guys haven't given us a specific time, so we can only come and take a look and understand the specific situation. After all, we need this thing urgently."

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the other party sighed.

"Director Su, please come in with me first! I will explain it to you slowly."

Then he led the way inside.

Leading Su Wenchen into the more distinctive brick house of this era.

After pouring a glass of water for Su Wenchen, he sat down and spoke.

"Director Su, it's not that our factory didn't give you an exact time on purpose, it's because we don't know when the next production will be."

"We can produce the insulation material you need, but there aren't many factories that need it."

"If it's just you guys, we can produce it in an hour, but to produce it once, we have to mobilize hundreds or even thousands of people up and down the entire production line."

"So unless you need more than 500 cubic meters, our factory will not open a separate production line for you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenchen took a deep breath and began to think about it carefully.

They definitely cannot handle such a large amount of 500 cubic meters.

Cubic meter is different from square meter. It is a unit of volume.

One cubic meter of thermal insulation foam board can hold more than ten pieces of one square meter of thermal insulation foam board, which is probably enough to cover half of the wall.

Moreover, the Municipal Engineering Institute has marked it for them, including the roof part, and their chicken coop consumes a maximum of 15 cubic meters of thermal insulation foam board!
And this kind of chemical stuff is not cheap at all these days, one cubic meter costs eighty yuan.

Their chicken farm can spend 3,600 yuan to buy insulation materials, but it is impossible for them to spend 40,000 yuan to buy insulation materials.

It would be better to go back and fill it with straw and weeds.

The man on the other end looked at Su Wenchen for a long time without saying anything, knowing that the other party would most likely not purchase so much.

So he picked up the teacup and drank some tea.

"If your chicken farm can't purchase so much, we really can't do anything about it, but you can go and ask other food factories."

"If you can get 300 to 500 cubic meters, we can discuss it with the technical department. For your dozens of cubic meters, our sales department dares to talk to the technical department."

When Su Wenchen saw the other party's actions and words, he knew that the other party was secretly trying to drive him away.

He also knew that the other party was most likely not just trying to get him to accept his offer.

Maybe the other party also wants to make this money, but they will only start the production line if they are given at least one day's production.

So Su Wenchen stood up directly.

"Okay then, I won't bother your company anymore. I'll go back and see if I can get more orders and come together. I'll have to trouble you again when the time comes."

When the other party saw that Su Wenchen was not the kind of person who would shamelessly stay in their factory and ask them to open a production line specifically for him, he became more favorable towards Su Wenchen.

"Don't worry, you can basically collect enough for one day. As long as the difference is not too big, we can discuss it with the technical department."

Left Plastic Factory No. 7.

Su Wenchen found a ridge on the side of the road and sat down.

Now that the plastic factory has given a clear answer, if he wants to raise such a large order, he can either contact the food factory or see if Qianjin Farm can help him.

Because it is impossible for them to pay for hundreds of cubic meters on their own.

Su Wenchen didn't expect that after going around in circles, it seems that he has some connection with Qianjin Farm.

I just hope he is not a liar. After all, can the effect be the same if someone invites you to their door and you take the initiative to sell to their door?

noon.

Su Wenchen and Xu Xiangqian met at the guesthouse.

The guesthouse provided simple meals, including fragrant sesame pancakes, which cost three cents each, and not many food coupons were required.

For people who come here on business, this is already a relatively affordable food.

The two sat opposite each other at the table provided by the guesthouse.

Xu Xiangqian ate his pancake while reporting to Su Wenchen the information he had gathered in the morning.

"Manager, we were deceived by that Zhang Qianjin. I asked around and found that many locals don't know what Qianjin Farm is."

"I asked several elderly people living here, and they all said there is no Qianjin Farm on Chongming Island."

When Su Wenchen heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, the situation I least wanted to see happened.

It’s okay if the other party is a scammer, but if you don’t have any acquaintances and want to connect with other farms, if they come to you on their own initiative, the chicken farm will be able to gain much less profit.

After all, it’s not a good deal to be the one who pushes ahead!
For Su Wenchen, things are now a bit tricky.

Although it is not to the point where we are helpless, it is much more difficult and requires a lot of effort to communicate and coordinate with several food factories.

For an instant.

Su Wenchen thought that it would be best to just give up. At worst he could just go back and stuff more straw.

It's just that the roof is a bit difficult to deal with. After all, the wall can be covered with two hollow layers and stuffed with straw, which actually has a good effect.

The problem mainly lies with the roof. Even though it's good enough, a layer of thermal insulation foam board was installed on the ceiling, and then multiple layers of straw mats were added on top. The thermal insulation effect should be barely as good as two layers of walls.

But now there is no insulation ceiling installed, and Su Wenchen knows that the effect will be greatly reduced by simply covering the roof with a layer of straw mat.
