1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 169 Tsk tsk, the fire dragon burns the warehouse!
On the way back to the chicken farm, Su Wenchen was lost in thought in the car.

Because he finally agreed to merge the Shiquan Chicken Farm.

The main reason was that Secretary Li later offered too much temptation, one of which was to arrange Song Pingwen to another place.

The second is to establish Lanshui Livestock Farm after the merger, which will officially become a municipal department-level unit. He can also take the opportunity to make further progress and be promoted to administrative level 17.

In later generations, it means being promoted from deputy section chief to full section chief.

For Su Wenchen, the first one was okay, but the second one was much more tempting.

Because they were just a chicken farm before, if they wanted to open branches or add other breeding species, they would have to apply to the higher authorities.

Although I generally won’t refuse, it’s still not as comfortable as making my own decisions.

Especially when the profits can be retained directly next year.

Once it is upgraded to a livestock farm ahead of schedule, you can decide what to raise on your own, as long as the annual accounting is acceptable.

So Su Wenchen really didn't want to miss this opportunity. He originally wanted to wait for the white pig breed to be borrowed back and then cultivate a pig breed that was suitable for local growth and could be marketed quickly.

I'm taking the opportunity to apply to build a pig farm, and then trying to upgrade it to a livestock farm.

This was also the plan for the chicken farm next year that he had told Secretary Li about earlier. After all, things like promotions in the unit would definitely require the approval of him as the top leader.

If the other party doesn't nod, the process will not be able to proceed.

Originally, he just wanted Secretary Li to be mentally prepared in advance, so that when the pig breeds are bred next year, they can proceed smoothly.

But he didn't expect that Director Song gave him another assist! He really deserved to be the director he personally appointed!

Su Wenchen did not expect that the other party was actually planning to withdraw early. Now no one was willing to take over Shiquan's mess.

Of course Su Wenchen also knew that it would definitely not be to the point where no one would be willing to accept it.

It’s just that capable people in the city are unwilling to go, and those who are willing to go are considered unreliable by the city.

Take Su Wenchen for example. If he hadn't built up the brigade's chicken farm in the first place, he wouldn't have been able to become the manager of the Blue Water Chicken Farm.

To put it bluntly, if you haven't demonstrated your value, why would others hire you?

For Secretary Li, it is the same. Instead of promoting another deputy from Shiquan who he is not sure whether he can do the job, it is better to merge Su Wenchen, who he thinks is capable, directly.

After all, the egg-laying rate in Lanshui in winter can be maintained at a level not much different from that in summer.

To Su Wenchen, there must be a lot of internal problems at Shiquan, otherwise even a director wouldn't be helpless.

Even Song Pingwen is the same. It seems that everyone else is obedient, but in fact, the other party may not know what it is like underwater.

But maybe it's because you understand it now, so you don't want to stay there anymore?
Su Wenchen didn’t know the specific reason, but fortunately, Hou Guozhong and Miao Yuan were both squeezed out from there.

He felt that the two of them should know some inside information over there, so they should not be completely in the dark.

Blue Water Chicken Farm.

In Su Wenchen's office.

He was poking the coals in the stove with a poker in his hand.

Let it burn more fully.

There were also a few small potatoes, sweet potatoes and taro placed at the four corners of the stove.

After a while, Han Yang came in with several department heads.

Su Wenchen pointed to the small stool next to the stove.

"Everyone, sit down. Let's not go to the conference room and freeze in this weather. Let's gather here and have a simple meeting!"

Hearing Su Wenchen's relaxed tone, the others breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the incident happened suddenly in the morning, and everyone thought something urgent had happened.

Judging from Su Wenchen's appearance now, it shouldn't be a big deal. At least it will not have any impact on their chicken farm.

Han Yang spoke first.

"Manager, is there any problem in the city? Do we need to send more eggs over later?"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with us. It's the supply and marketing cooperative's business. They took all the eggs away today. There's no need to leave any for them before the New Year. We can use the rest as welfare for the workers in the farm."

As he spoke, Su Wenchen put down the fire hook in his hand and brushed the dust off his hands.

He turned around and looked at them seriously and said.

"I went to the city today for other things. When I went to deliver vegetables to the city, I chatted with Secretary Li. He wanted to see if our Lanshui Chicken Farm could be merged with Shiquan Chicken Farm. As long as we can resume production there as soon as possible, he will do his best to support us."

Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Han Yang immediately said in surprise.

"This is a good thing, Director."

"As long as we can merge with Shiquan, we can directly set up a branch. I heard that the land there is much larger than ours."

Then he said with some hesitation.

"That's right. After this merger, who will we listen to in the future? After all, I heard that the new director of Shiquan was sent by the city, and his rank seems to be higher than ours!"

"We can't just merge with them and let them come and lead us!"

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"Don't worry about that. Secretary Li promised that during the merger, the people in Shiquan will listen to our arrangements, and those we don't want will be transferred to other places."

"And once the merger is completed, our unit can also be upgraded to the next level and become the Blue Water Livestock Farm."

To Su Wenchen, the carrot given by Secretary Li was quite tempting. After all, it was a promotion! Who wouldn't want that?

Otherwise he wouldn't take over this mess.

For Su Wenchen, he is not worried about the personnel or anything, but he is worried about some hidden big holes. If he doesn't know about them, he will have to fill them when he takes over.

And now he knows a hole. The remaining task indicators of Shiquan Chicken Farm this year have been moved to next year.

However, this hole is nothing to him, because Shiquan’s previous task was only 100,000 kilograms of eggs a year, and this year he has already completed half of it.

Next year, as long as Shiquan Chicken Farm follows his idea, it will be able to fill this hole by itself, but this is only what he knows.

Is there anything else he doesn't know?

Therefore, Su Wenchen would definitely not take over rashly without clarifying the situation.

After all, Shiquan has been running for many years, and the mess inside must be a mess that cannot be any worse. If we don't sort out this mess, it will be difficult to take over this business.

Su Wenchen also knew that Secretary Li's carrots were not that delicious. If it was really easy, would he wait for him? A lot of people would have rushed here long ago.

Apart from anything else, as a chicken farm of the same level, if the manager of their Blue Water Chicken Farm needs to be changed, there will definitely be a lot of people scrambling to come over.

Han Yang didn't know much about the inside story of Shiquan, so when he heard Su Wenchen say this, his first reaction was that it was a good thing.

After all, it is much more difficult to get promoted in a company than to get promoted as an individual.

Only when the scale reaches a certain level and is approved by superiors and considered to be truly necessary will it be allowed.

After all, once the unit's level is upgraded, most of the unit's main leaders will be promoted half a level or one level accordingly.

Of course this is not necessarily the case, but he thinks it is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Han Yang just looked at Hou Guozhong who was frowning, and Miao Yuan who was silent, which formed a sharp contrast with Feng Guoliang who looked happy.

Han Yang looked at the two of them with some confusion.

"Why do you two have such expressions? You don't have any feelings for that place, so you can't bear to leave!"

"This merger doesn't mean it will be cancelled. At most, the personnel will be replaced and the name will be changed to Shiquan Branch. There won't be much else that will change!"

Hearing Han Yang's words, Miao Yuan shook his head.

"Director, Deputy Director Han, if the merger is completed, the situation in Shiquan will be a bit complicated. You can ask Lao Hou for the details! The two of us were kicked out because of this."

After saying this, he sighed.

Miao Yuan knew that it was very likely that Director Song had given up, otherwise the city would not have allowed them to merge with Shiquan. The most prosperous breeding farm in Lan City back then had to be merged with the newly built blue water chicken farm in order to survive.

Hearing Miao Yuan's words, Su Wenchen and Han Yang both turned to look at Hou Guozhong.

Hou Guozhong saw that Miao Yuan directly pushed the matter to himself.

Just snorted coldly.

"If you ask me, Shiquan Chicken Farm deserves to be in this state now."

When Su Wenchen heard this, his eyes flickered.

"Old Hou, tell me in detail what's going on over there. After all, it's been merged, and I don't want our chicken farm to help them fill the hole."

When Hou Guozhong heard this, he had no intention of hiding it. After all, he was no longer a member of Shiquan's side.

"In fact, the other problems in Shiquan are not serious. The biggest problem is actually the feed."

"I now feel that the current state of Shiquan is also due to the feed problem."

Then he looked at Su Wenchen.

"I also came back from your team and saw that the chicken feed ratio of your team was very reasonable, so I suddenly had the idea to adjust the chicken feed ratio in Shiquan."

"But we unexpectedly discovered that the feed in the feed warehouse was not mixed according to the requirements, but was full of sand."

Su Wenchen frowned.

"Sand seepage? Do you mean that Shiquan is cutting corners on the feed?"

"But it shouldn't be a problem for chickens to eat some sand occasionally!"

Hou Guozhong glanced at Miao Yuan with a sneer and shook his head.

"It would be great if they cut corners. I grabbed a handful and found that nearly half of it was sand. The rest was bran and soybean meal, with only a small amount of corn."

"With this kind of feed, if only 6,000 chickens survive out of 20,000, they are lucky."

"I suspected that the feed had been changed a long time ago, but I went to him angrily, but Lao Miao didn't let me check."

"Besides, I am just an ordinary technician in Shiquan. Even if I wanted to investigate, no one would listen to me. Later, you, the director, invited me, so I naturally didn't want to stay there."

"As for where the replaced feed went, I have no idea."

Su Wenchen blinked and glanced at Miao Yuan.

He believed Hou Guozhong's words more, because he and Miao Yuan had both been in Shiquan since the beginning of the farm, and he was still a technician after so many years.

Obviously, Hou Guozhong was not the only one who was disliked by Director Song. It seemed that every leader disliked the other.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that Miao Yuan is still a technician even though he has risen to the position of section chief.

In this case, even if Shiquan really resells grain used to make feed, he is unlikely to drag the other party into the water.

On the contrary, Miao Yuan, as the head of the logistics department of Shiquan Chicken Farm at the time, was a hurdle that the other party could not get around.

So did Miao Yuan participate? Or how much did he participate?

It wasn't just Su Wenchen who thought so.

After hearing what Hou Guozhong said, Han Yang looked at Miao Yuan with some suspicion.

"Chief Miao? Why don't you explain?"

Miao Yuan smiled bitterly. He knew that he would be implicated in this matter.

"Didn't Old Hou tell you? The biggest problem with Shiquan is that they resell the food used to feed the chickens, and then they add sand to the feed."

"Many chickens get sick because they eat too much sand."

Su Wenchen rubbed his brows and asked with some doubt.

"Such a large amount of sand seepage, and no one noticed it? Did Song Pingwen know about it?"

Although Su Wenchen felt that Director Song might not be a good person, he would not do such a thing!

After all, as someone close to the leader, even if he has never eaten pork, he should have seen pigs run!

It is easy to be found out if you make money in this way!
Moreover, if the chicken dies, the other party will not be able to complete the task every year, and I will not be able to explain this to my leader!
Compared with money and future, Su Wenchen believed that Song Pingwen should know which one is more important.

Hearing Su Wenchen's question, Miao Yuan shook his head.

"I don't know about Director Song. How can I describe him? Maybe he has been in the agency for too long. He is not as good as the previous directors."

"Anyway, before he left, he only went to the chicken coop twice, and both times he went to the same chicken coops where Lao Hou and his friends used to stay."

"Before I left, only the 6,000 or so chickens in the two chicken coops in Shiquan were still alive. The rest had basically died of illness."

Su Wenchen sneered.

"Died of illness? Or was he killed by illness?"

"What about the annual tasks? Should we postpone them like Song Pingwen?"

Miao Yuan shook his head.

"The previous farm directors had no ability to talk to the Municipal Planning Commission. With the chicken plague, they naturally had no way to complete their tasks."

"The chickens have eaten the feed anyway, and they're dying of fowl disease. There's nowhere to look for them."

Hearing Miao Yuan's words, even Hou Guozhong widened his eyes.

"You mean that the frequent chicken plagues in Shiquan in the past few years were caused by you on purpose?"

"It's no wonder. We have been disinfected so many times, but the disease keeps coming back. But when the chickens came to Ping Village, they were completely free of the disease."

Miao Yuan immediately waved his hand.

"I didn't participate. It was all done by Deputy Director Qian and his gang. I only gradually came into contact with them after Director Song arranged for me to be the head of the logistics department."

Hou Guozhong snorted coldly.

"Humph, you are no good either. You knew about it but you didn't remind Song Pingwen. He promoted you right after he arrived."

"Just watch that big fool jump in!"

Miao Yuan looked at Su Wenchen with a wry smile.

"Director, I can't do anything! As soon as Director Song arrived, Deputy Director Qian came over. Even if I told him, he would have to believe it!"

"I have secretly reminded him several times to go to the chicken coop and the feed bin more often."

"He won't listen, there's nothing I can do!"

Su Wenchen nodded.

If Miao Yuan did not lie, he would understand the other party's actions.

After all, if you don't know what the new leader's style is, handing over everything foolishly may end up hurting yourself.

At most, it's just a secret hint. If someone is interested, they should be able to find it. If not, then it's useless to say it.

Miao Yuan is different from Lao Hou. He is an extremely cautious person.

This kind of person will not take the initiative to come forward unless the situation is clear.

And if the other party was no longer in Shiquan Chicken Farm, Su Wenchen estimated that Miao Yuan would not say a word.

After all, if the new leader fails to defeat the other party, he can just walk away, but he will have to suffer if he stays in the chicken farm.

Miao Yuan has a family and children, so he naturally would not let himself fall into this situation.

However, after listening to Miao Yuan's story, Su Wenchen also understood the general problem of Shiquan.

"Tsk tsk, the fire dragon is burning the warehouse!"

“Oh, you can see it anywhere!”
