1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 180 Planning a Rex Rabbit Breeding Farm!
Looking at Jiang Li who was growing up slowly, Su Wenchen went over and hugged her.

"Oh my, my silly girl has grown up! She can find a successor to her policies now."

"Come on, try to catch up with your father-in-law as soon as possible, and then he will regret every day for throwing away such a good daughter."

Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Jiang Li looked at her lover with sparkling eyes.

There was a sigh on his lips.
"How can it be that easy! I am only the deputy director of the commune now, there is a huge gap between me and him!"

"But I will try my best and make him regret it!"

"By the way, Ah Chen, do you think I'm mean? I said I'd let the members elect their own party secretary, but I secretly interfered."

Su Wenchen hugged the other person.

"For others, it's not bright enough, but if you plan to take this path, then this is something you have to experience. Although you don't have to use it often, you can't not know how to use it, and you can't not understand it."

"And this road is not all bright. If you want to go on, you have to adapt to this kind of thing. Otherwise, you should just come to our field and work as the director of the Women's Federation!"

Jiang Li leaned on Su Wenchen's shoulder and refused.

"I don't want it!"

"For me, as long as you don't mind, I don't care about other people!"

Su Wenchen said with some surprise when he heard this.

"Why? In your heart, I am still a particularly noble person?"

For Su Wenchen, he never thought of himself as a noble person.

He has always been a person with a strong sense of purpose.

Many of the choices nowadays are actually changes made by Su Wenchen in response to the times.

After all, he has never been so arrogant as to think of going against the trend.

Since private enterprises could not be developed during this period, Su Wenchen chose to develop state-owned enterprises. This was actually a decision he made in the tide of the times.

Anyway, having inherited the resources of a world, he basically wouldn't worry about running out of ideas.

Even if the current state-owned industries develop further, he is not worried that they will squeeze out his path to developing private enterprises in the future.

Not to mention anything else, now chickens are divided into laying hens and broiler chickens, and rabbits are divided into meat rabbits and fur rabbits.

For Su Wenchen, as long as he wants, after the reform and opening up, he can breed a top-notch beef cattle breed like Sakura's Wagyu, and he will have enough for his whole life.

Therefore, what he worried about was never running out of ideas, but that there were too many targets to choose from, so many that he would not be able to cultivate them all in his lifetime.

Jiang Li didn't think so, she said directly.

"In my eyes, you are a noble person? I saw that you could have made more profit from what you did for the brigade, but you refused it!"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"I'm not that noble, I just want to live a more comfortable life. As for the brigade's industry."

“When you have a mountain of gold in your head, do you care about a little bit of gold?”

He pointed to his brain.

"And I have a gold mine that is as valuable as the world's. It will at least allow me to dig for another fifty years."

"In addition, I not only have a mountain of gold, but also a golden pickaxe as an auxiliary tool."

“So I just didn’t like that.”

Hearing Su Wenchen's shameless boasting, even Jiang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I used to think you were thicker than a door, but now I realize that I underestimated you. You are not as thick as a door. Even a city wall may not be as thick as you."

"It's still as good as the world's gold mountain, and you can dig for another fifty years. Why don't you dig for a hundred years? How can anyone boast that he is so smart as to make it this far?"

Su Wenchen wanted to dig for a hundred years, but unfortunately he only had the idea of a gold mine in the past fifty years.

It may not even be possible to dig for fifty years.

Because as time goes by, he will gradually forget many things.

But he still said it.

"You don't understand. I'm not bragging about myself. I'm bragging about the knowledge in my head."

Jiang Li snorted and glanced at Su Wenchen.

"Isn't that the same thing? Well, since you're so smart, you don't mind using it a little more."

"I have been thinking about this for a long time these days. There are still many difficulties that need to be solved in terms of fur rabbit breeding."

"Then our Comrade Jinshan, can you give me some advice?"

Then he went back to the room, took out a notebook and handed it to Su Wenchen.

Su Wenchen took the notebook, flipped through it casually, and said as he looked at the beautiful small words on it.

"Since classmate Jiang Li has said so, I will help you with some reference, but I have to charge for this gold mountain, and you have to compensate me at night, otherwise I will not be satisfied."

As he said that, he opened the notebook and handed it to me.

Looking at the various ideas listed above, from introduction, breeding, processing, to sales, some are feasible and some are not. Anyway, Su Wenchen thinks Jiang Li has a lot of ideas, and they seem okay.

However, most of them are stuck at the first step, which is the introduction.

Jiang Li also said angrily, pointing at the place where a big cross was drawn.

"I have made a lot of phone calls in the past few days and have indeed found a few farms that breed the kind of rabbits you mentioned, such as Rex rabbits for fur, but when I called to discuss introducing them."

"When they heard that I was from the lower-level brigade, they hung up the phone right away."

"Later, when I beat them up again, they told me directly that they were a formal unit and would not cooperate with us in an informal way."

"It's so infuriating. Who is he saying is not formal? We are a company with procedures and documents. I think he just looks down on us."

Su Wenchen comforted directly.

"Yes, yes, we are formal. I will help you think of a solution."

Su Wenchen also knew that this was normal for breeding farms, just like if an unknown team called their chicken farm now.

Even if they said they wanted to bring in their chickens, Su Wenchen would not pay any attention to them.

After all, you are not related to us, and we are not even considered a brother unit. No one will care about you in this situation because it is not good!
And he also knew that at this time, there was a chain of contempt among the factories.

There were large factories, medium-sized factories, small factories, and some factories that were set up by communes and brigades and were similar to family workshops.

Obviously, the brigade industry is at the bottom of the contempt chain. The only things it can despise are those shady industries that are not allowed to see the light of day.

In fact, there are quite a few such industries in this era.

Many of them were built secretly by the production teams without telling the commune, so of course they did not need to give the commune a share, and the money earned could be divided among the production teams themselves.

Su Wenchen also knew that if he asked in the name of the team, people would most likely ignore him.

Even the commune is not very good at it. Only the county animal husbandry bureau will come forward to formally receive us.

But for Jiang Li, there are both pros and cons to the county's intervention in this matter. The advantage is that she doesn't have to worry about anything, and there is a high probability that the other party will give her face, but the credit will also be greatly discounted, and at most it can only be considered as hard work.

This is obviously a stage for the people from the County Animal Husbandry Bureau.

If they are unwilling, then their farm will have to contact the other party.

Now their Blue Water Livestock Farm has the qualifications to establish its own branch farms, and they just need to report to the city afterwards.

As long as he wants, he can build a Rex rabbit farm in the farm at any time.

But this kind of thing must also be beneficial to the field.

Otherwise, this kind of thing would easily leave room for gossip. Although Su Wenchen is not afraid now, he still needs to be vigilant.

Jiang Li looked at Su Wenchen's silence and felt a little distressed.

"Is it difficult? Forget it. There's no rush. I can slowly figure it out later."

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It's not that it's difficult, but my original plan was to develop a pig farm next year. If I introduce this kind of Rex rabbit breeding, I'm afraid it will delay the development of the pig farm."

"After all, I plan to select a batch of high-quality breeding pigs and borrow them from Shanghai after the New Year!"

"By the time."

Su Wenchen stopped talking abruptly and was stunned.

He suddenly realized a problem. The pig breed he borrowed was still far from being fully bred.

Even if it can be cultivated in one go, it will still take a year.

The main reason is that the growth cycle of pigs is much longer than that of rabbits and chickens.

It takes about four to five months for a chicken to start laying eggs from birth.

Rabbits can usually be bred when they are five or six months old, and the gestation period is usually only about one month.

But it is different for pigs. In order to ensure the health of sows and piglets, breeding is not possible until eight or nine months at the earliest.

The gestation period of pigs is also long, and it basically takes three or four months to give birth successfully.

This basically took a year.

That is to say, even if this batch of pigs are brought back for breeding after the Chinese New Year, Su Wenchen will still need a year to wait for these piglets to grow up.

Then we can consider expanding the scale after the breeding of this batch of piglets has been completed and it will take two or three years.

At this time, Su Wenchen also understood. No wonder white pigs were introduced in the 1960s, but were not popularized until the 1980s.

Because the growth of pigs is destined, unless it succeeds in one go, it will be a long and arduous process, and continuous hybridization and iteration will take too long.

This is not a game, there is a one-button acceleration function.

Besides, no matter how powerful his golden finger is, he can’t make a pig get pregnant in one day, give birth in two days, and grow up in three days!

Wouldn’t that be a monster?
From this perspective, next year their farm will not have any other work to do except continuing to build more chicken coops.

It seems that he can indeed spare some energy to consider developing Rex rabbit breeding, because cotton production is very insufficient in this era.

There is a huge shortage of fur products such as fur hats and fur coats, and most of them are obtained through unstable hunting methods in the wild.

If there is a stable supply of high-quality fur, it will indeed be a considerable industry.

On top of that, if the fur products factory he had planned for Jiang Li develops, it will also drive the development of the surrounding areas.

For Su Wenchen, he doesn't have to worry too much about the current chicken farm. He can just add chicken coops according to its current appearance.

At most, he would need to make a decision when an unexpected situation occurred. He no longer needed to take care of most things.

It seems that next year, as the pigs grow slowly, he really won't have anything to do.

The most important point is that rabbits, unlike chickens, do not need to be fed grain.

All kinds of tender grass, leaves, corn stalks, and vegetable leaves from the vegetable fields are all on its diet.

In this way, there will be no situation where you compete with chickens for feed.

Think of this.

Su Wenchen spoke directly to Jiang Li.

"Ali, your reminder of this matter is quite timely. You can give me their contact information when the time comes, and our livestock farm will come forward to talk to them. Then the team can introduce and promote it from our livestock farm. This will also increase the influence of this kind of fur rabbit."

"And I found that this kind of thing can also allow each member to raise a nest of it at home. After all, if the commune wants to build a leather product processing factory in the future, it must have sufficient production support to build it."

"As long as the commune is willing to come up with policies, I believe many members below are willing to try it. Even if they are not willing, they will definitely be willing to do it after seeing other members making money."

"Because this rabbit doesn't consume food, you can let the children go out to cut some tender grass and pick some leaves. Then, add some corn stalks and the leftover vegetable leaves from the vegetable garden, and it's not a problem for a family to raise a litter of rabbits."

Jiang Li nodded frequently.

"Yes, yes, that's indeed possible. I'll discuss this with Secretary He and see if we can come up with a policy to see how many sheep a family can keep. This will not only prevent gossip, but also increase income for the members."

"Looking at it this way, it seems that there is no need to cultivate this thing on a large scale!"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"If we want to form an industrial chain with a stable supply, it is not enough to rely on free-range farming alone. We still need to have some farms. After all, individual farmers are unstable and have poor risk resistance."

"Especially for breeding rabbits, if individual farmers simply rely on the few rabbits they raise to breed, inbreeding will easily lead to degeneration."

"So we still need to establish a special breeding farm for rabbits and continuously select the best from the best. This way, not only will the breeds get better and better, but the probability of disease will also be relatively low."

For Su Wenchen, his golden finger can effectively guarantee the excellence of the breed, so he must establish his own breeding rabbit farm.

And now he has a new idea.

In this life, the best livestock breeds in the world must come from them.

Things like Angus cattle and Wagyu cattle will have to be severely beaten by their domestic breeds in the future.
