1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 159 Song Chang, as leaders, we should be more open-minded

Lan City.

Planning Committee.

This time when Su Wenchen came, he did not go directly to Secretary Li and Mayor Zhai for support.

Instead, he went directly to the door of the Municipal Planning Commission and asked the leader to keep him where he was needed.

Although coal is a precious resource during this period, there are still many people in the city who are capable of mobilizing dozens of tons of coal.

The main reason is that Su Wenchen doesn’t need much, and their factory only lacks coal for daily use.

There is about a ten-ton or eight-ton boiler, which is basically enough for the canteen and bathhouse boilers.

After all, they are not a professional bathhouse and do not have to maintain water supply all day long. They are only open for a few hours after get off work.

So the amount of coal used is not really that much.

After a simple registration at the reception desk, Su Wenchen came in directly.

He planned to go to the Municipal Planning Commission to complain.

After all, they can supply eggs to the city in advance this year, so the Planning Commission should give them more coal!

We can’t let them divert all the coal used for daily life to the chicken coop, causing everyone to freeze while serving the people!

This is also the reason why Su Wenchen did not go to find the two leaders, but came directly to the door of the Planning Commission.

After arriving at the Planning Commission, Su Wenchen did not go directly to see Director Hu.

Instead, he planned to look for Luo Yan and first come to Deputy Director Luo's side to test the waters. He and Deputy Director Luo were here, so they knew each other.

But if I go directly to Director Hu and get rejected directly, it will be difficult to handle the situation later.

After Su Wenchen came in, he waited in the reception room for a while, and then the other party's secretary came over to inform him.

"Director Su, Director Luo is waiting for you in the office."

Su Wenchen came to the office and found that the door was not closed.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a rather unexpected person talking to Luo Yan inside.

"Lao Luo, we really tried our best to meet this year's task targets, but there were too many unexpected events, and there was nothing I could do."

"How about this? We can move this year's task to next year, and next year we will produce 140,000 kilograms! What do you think?"

Luo Yan became obviously impatient when he heard this.

"Old Song, you have also worked in a government agency, so you should know clearly that I have the final say on this matter?"

"I've told you so many times, you can either go talk to Secretary Li or the director. I won't talk to you about this."

"And if we do the same as you do, if we can't finish it this year, we'll move it to next year, and next year we'll move it to the year after next, so is there any point in producing it?"

"What's the point of our plan?"

After saying this, Luo Yan picked up the teacup and took a big sip, his intention to see the guest off was obvious.

But this time the other party simply ignored it.

"Luo Yan, don't bluff me. I'm not a rookie on my first day at work. I've dealt with your Municipal Planning Commission before."

"This is just a matter of one sentence for you."

After listening to the other party's relentless words, Luo Yan's face turned really ugly.

Has Song Pingwen become stupid after staying there for a year?

Or has he been suppressed in the city for too long, and his true nature is released as soon as he goes down there?

Has he forgotten that he is no longer the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and secretary of the secretary?

Originally he was only sent to solve the problem in a critical moment. As long as the problem was solved, the other party, with the help of the secretary and the credit for this matter, could be transferred to a local leadership position as a matter of course.

But the situation in Shiquan was so messed up right now that Luo Yan was not sure whether Song Pingwen could escape or not.

After all, the city gave money and policies when it asked for them, and even Mayor Zhai went to the province to ask for support for the sake of the secretary.

As a result, after working for more than half a year, the final result was that I couldn’t even complete this year’s tasks.

This also represents the tricks used by the other party in the Comprehensive Department of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

When I went there to solve real practical problems, I felt a little uncomfortable with the local climate.

But he didn't want to break up with the other party.

Who knows if the other party can’t continue working there and will return to the municipal government.

After all, this person may not be able to do things well after he comes back, but he is definitely a top-notch expert at doing bad things.

Just at this moment Su Wenchen knocked on the door.

Because he also found that Luo Yan was being held back, and it was obvious that the other party wanted to force Luo Yan to express his position, and they obviously saw that Luo Yan did not want to fall out.

They originally had some affection for Shiquan Chicken Farm.

After all, he bought his first batch of chickens from there.

Regardless of whether it involved their internal struggle at the time, in Su Wenchen's heart, Director Song was a good person.

When Luo Yan went to their brigade's chicken farm to investigate, he faced a request from Miao Yuan who was still in Shiquan at the time.

Su Wenchen still provided them with 4,000 chicks as a way of repaying the kindness he had shown them.

But later on, the other party became a little dishonest.

At the subsequent project application meeting in the city, their breeding chicken farm was again targeted.

Su Wenchen definitely couldn't tolerate this, so now he really couldn't have a good impression of Shi Quan.

Luo Yan heard a knock on the door.

After seeing Su Wenchen, his face instantly brightened with joy. He could only say that it was too timely, otherwise he would really have to break off with that bastard Song Pingwen.

Yes.

In Luo Yan's heart, he would not help the other party to make this move even if it meant a fall-out.

Because other factories sometimes have indicators that are a little off, and we can just make up for it next year.

But if he continues to mess with the Shiquan Chicken Farm, I'm afraid it won't even exist next year.

By then, the other party will just pat their butts and find people to transfer to other units. Then Shiquan will have to find a way to make up for the deficit this year on his own.

After all, whoever made the decision on the Planning Commission's side would have to fill the gap if any problems arose.

He was unwilling to take this responsibility for Song Pingwen.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan waved to Su Wenchen. "

"Hey, Brother Su, come on, sit down first!"

Then he turned and looked at Song Pingwen.

"Director Song, why don't you go to the director and think of a solution? I'm sure it won't work here."

"But if the director agrees, there will be no problem on my end."

Hearing this, Song Pingwen looked at Su Wenchen with a cold face.

I think this person has no taste. When I went to Shiquan to buy their chickens, he seemed to have good taste!

He even gave them the sick chickens!

But for Song Pingwen, he really had to find a solution with Luo Yan.

Because Director Hu is Mayor Zhai's man and will not give him face.

But he couldn't ask Secretary Li for help with this matter. After all, he himself found that working at the grassroots level seemed to be different from working in the office.

According to his previous work habits, he replaced the people with his own.

The work was carried out as he arranged.

But things didn't seem to go as smoothly as he thought. He understood people's hearts, but he didn't understand chicken hearts! People are his own people, but chickens are not his own chickens.

The chicken is about to die and he can’t pull it back!

He even invited people from the city veterinary station to come over. After examining the chicks, they said it was normal for a large number of them to die after a long journey.

It is normal to get sick and die later.

The other party also told him that raising chickens is like this, no one can guarantee that the chicks will survive, and it is considered good if half of the chicks can be transported back after a dozen or twelve days of transportation.

It was at this time that Song Pingwen realized that raising chickens was not suitable for him and he should not have stepped into this dangerous situation.

I originally thought that after I came down, I would replace the people and transfer 20,000 chicks from outside. Within a year, the chicken farm would be back to normal and prosperous.

He also used this opportunity to prove to others that he had leadership skills.

But no one told him that half of the chicks would die while riding in the car, and even if they were not transported, the chicks would often die of illness during their normal growth.

Now Song Pingwen no longer wants to prove himself through the chicken farm.

Because if the chickens get sick, they won't tell their leader.

So now he is thinking about getting by with the task targets during his term of office this year.

It's a waste of his talent for him, a deputy-division-level cadre, to stay in a chicken farm.

Because he also discovered that it was no wonder that there was such a shortage of meat, eggs and milk, and the counties below still had no motivation to engage in large-scale breeding.

This will always result in losses, so it is better to develop a factory.

Not only are machines not contagious, they can also be repaired even if they break down. But chickens not only get sick, they are also damn contagious, and a large number of them will die if one goes.

So next year he plans to find someone to be the factory manager in another place.

But he has to get through this mess this year, and then it won’t matter to him whether the task is heavy or not next year.

So when Song Pingwen heard Luo Yan's words to drive people away, he also shamelessly stayed here.

"Lao Luo, don't worry about me, just talk about your own things, we can talk slowly later."

When Luo Yan heard this, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Are you sure you can defeat me?
The two deputy directors and one director of the entire Planning Commission have to fight with him?

So he just looked at him with a cold face and said.

"You can stay if you want. Anyway, I'm telling you, I can't open my mouth."

After saying this, his expression relaxed and he looked at Su Wenchen.

"Brother Su, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I can help you. I will definitely try my best to find a solution."

Unlike Song Pingwen, in Luo Yan's opinion, Su Wenchen, whom he almost wanted to send to the State Planning Commission, is a capable person.

A trip to Shanghai was enough to get the farm unit there to call him and ask questions.

Moreover, the other party also has the support of two leaders in the city.

Unlike that out-of-date celebrity, this one is the celebrity now.

Moreover, the direction of the city's development is very clear now. Even Secretary Li does not mention Song Pingwen, whom he personally appointed, and has been saying that he strongly supports the new chicken farm where Su Wenchen is located.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to give Song Pingwen face.

The leader has given up on you, he will definitely not bother to deal with that matter.

After Su Wenchen heard Luo Yan's polite words.

He did not make any direct requests, but instead talked about the results first.

"Director Luo, we have some new achievements in our field. We are going to communicate with your Planning Commission and ask for some help!"

"Our insulated chicken house is almost finished. Since we have raised 10,000 chicks in advance, we will be able to lay the first batch of eggs soon."

"According to the calculations of our farm's masters, we will be able to produce about 50,000 kilograms of eggs by the end of the year."

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Luo Yan looked at him in surprise.

"You mean your chicken farm can produce eggs during the New Year? Can it produce 50,000 kilograms?"

Su Wenchen nodded and said modestly.

"I also know that 20,000 kilograms a month is a bit low, but although we can provide the temperature in winter, the days are too short. Even if we try our best to supplement the light, it will definitely not be as long as the summer."

"After all, the power company has done its best. Now every factory is short of electricity, and they can't supply us 24/7."

Su Wenchen did not disclose the entire output, but reserved a portion to exchange resources with other factories.

But even so, Luo Yan felt it was too much.

"Isn't this still too little? At this rate, shouldn't you be able to produce at least 200,000 kilograms next year?"

Su Wenchen hasn't said anything yet.

Song Pingwen beside him couldn't help it.

"Twenty thousand kilograms a month? In winter? Do you think I've never raised chickens?"

"After I came down here, I asked many farmers, how can you lay eggs in winter? Don't you even have this common sense?"

"Old Luo, listen to this kid's tricks. He fooled me a lot when he came to me. You might as well trust us at Shiquan Chicken Farm instead of him."

"Although we lay fewer eggs, we don't lie!"

Su Wenchen heard what Song Pingwen said and spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Director Song, no wonder your Shiquan Chicken Farm is getting worse and worse. You can't even complete the basic planned tasks."

"So you guys at the chicken farm all ask the farmers about raising chickens!"

"It would be strange if it gets better the longer it is raised!"

Hearing Su Wenchen's sarcastic tone, Song Pingwen became a little angry.

"I'm not talking about asking farmers in our farm, I mean even ordinary farmers know that chickens don't lay eggs in winter."

"You're saying right now that your chicken farm can produce tens of thousands of pounds in winter? You're lying."

Su Wenchen shook his head regretfully.

"Looking at Shiquan's current condition, I now know where the problem lies."

"Song Chang, as leaders, we should be more open-minded. This way it will be easier for us to make progress."

"Do you know that chickens don't lay eggs in winter? Do you know the specific reason? If you know the reason, can't you just find a way to solve it?"

Song Pingwen snorted coldly.

"I don't care what the specific reason is, but I know this is common sense. It has not been solved for hundreds of years. How can you solve it just by speaking?"

When Su Wenchen heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Oh, sorry Song Chang, our chicken farm has really solved the problem, and now we can produce eggs not only in winter."

"Our farm can now produce summer vegetables in winter!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you two cucumbers during the Chinese New Year so you can have a taste of summer in the winter."

Hearing this, Song Pingwen sneered even more.

"Humph, your words are getting more and more outrageous. You want to grow summer vegetables in winter. Do you think I don't know that this is only possible near hot springs?"

"What? You dug a hot spring in your chicken farm!"

Even Luo Yan looked at Su Wenchen in confusion.

After all, he knew about the insulated chicken coop, but he didn't know about summer vegetables.

Could it be that the other party has planted vegetables in the chicken coop?

One house for two purposes?
Will this work?
