Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Hello, hello, hello!"

The loudspeaker of the Red Flag Production Team blared, and Li Shangen tested the sound.

"Is Shen Dong here? Is Shen Dong here? If you hear me, come to the brigade headquarters. The commune leaders are waiting for you! Everyone, please let them know if you see him!"

"Director Zhang, please have some tea. Shen Dong will be here shortly."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Dong stood at the doorway and said, "Report!"

Director Zhang heard the sound and looked up.

Sunlight streamed through the doorway, illuminating the boy and outlining his slender yet upright figure.

The momentary lapse in attention was fleeting; Director Zhang quickly recovered: "You're Shen Dong?"

Shen Dong looked puzzled, then nodded.

Director Zhang stood up, looked him up and down, and kept praising him, "Excellent! You're truly a promising young man!"

"Shen Dong, this is Director Zhang from the commune. He's here to ask you about something. Don't be nervous."

From the words "commune leader," Shen Dong had already deduced the purpose of his visit, so he maintained a confident and composed demeanor.

"Director, you're here for the premium milk, aren't you?"

"Yes, you really surprised everyone! You really impressed Director Yang, and he's been wanting to meet you, such a capable person!"

Director Zhang laughed as he spoke, "Haha, Old Li, it looks like your Red Flag Production Team is going to be number one in this year's commune evaluation!"

"Haha, if we really do come in first place, it'll all be thanks to Shen Dong."

Li Shangen chuckled, then glanced outside and said, "Director Zhang, it's getting late, and Director Yang is still waiting. How about...?"

"Yes, yes, then Old Li, we'll be going now."

Since the commune didn't have a car, Director Zhang borrowed a truck from the livestock station. Shen Dong went home to get some yogurt and then came to the commune with them.

Yang Yujun is a former soldier, so he is quite meticulous in his approach to things.

After Shen Dong arrived, they had a very thorough conversation, and Shen Dong asked Shen Dong in detail about dairy cow breeding and disease treatment.

Fortunately, Shen Dong had been researching these past few days and had passively absorbed a lot of knowledge, so he was able to answer questions fluently.

Moreover, neither of them were professionals; they only dabbled in the subject.

But this had already dispelled Yang Yujun's last remaining doubts.

"Xiao Shen, wait a minute." Yang Yujun remembered something, picked up the phone on the table, and made a call.

"This is the livestock station, right? I'm Yang Yujun. Yes, is your station chief here? Okay, have him come to my office."

Yang Yujun put down the phone and said with a smile, "We were so busy chatting that we forgot to call the livestock station."

A short while later, Wang Yuan from the livestock station rushed over.

I was terribly nervous, thinking that I had made some mistake at the station and been caught by the director.

After some explanation, I learned what the situation was.

"Comrade Shen, you must help us!" Wang Yuan held Shen Dong's hand tightly and shook it again and again.

Wang Yuan was short and stocky, with some balding hair, and his face showed an extremely excited expression.

"The quality of milk in the commune is generally poor right now. If we can implement your methods, the work efficiency of our livestock station this year will improve significantly!"

Before Shen Dong could speak, the excited Wang Yuan couldn't stop and continued.

"I'll call you Xiao Shen. Here's the deal: our livestock station has invited you to become our technical expert to help train the station's technicians. We can offer you 45 yuan a month."

"We're a livestock station, we don't lack food coupons or anything, we'll give them to us. What do you think?!"

Wang Yuan's suggestion was already very good. The technical backbone of the county's textile and machinery factories only earned this much, which was already considered a very good treatment in the commune.

Meeting Wang Yuan's expectant gaze and glancing at his tightly clasped hands, which seemed determined not to let go until he agreed, Shen Dong was also infected by their enthusiasm.

"Station Chief Wang, please put your hands up. I would have helped with the training even if you hadn't asked."

"Although knowledge is priceless, one person's strength is limited. Only when everyone becomes wealthy through knowledge can knowledge realize its value."

Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Wang Yuan finally released his grip, his mouth already agape in a wide smile.

"As for the technical experts you mentioned, let's not rush that. I have other things to do today."

He picked up his bag and said, "Director, try my yogurt and see what you think!"

"Yogurt?" Yang Yujun and Director Zhang looked at Shen Dong with suspicion. Seeing Shen Dong's gesture of inviting them to eat, the two exchanged a glance, suppressed their doubts, and opened the jar.

Upon opening, a rich, sweet and sour aroma wafts out; looking at the color, the texture is thick and the color is even, making it very appetizing.

Yang Yujun scooped up a spoonful and his eyes lit up immediately. It was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, with a delicate texture and no trace of fermented odor.

"Delicious!" he couldn't help but exclaim. "Where did you buy this?"

Shen Dong said with a smile, "I made this myself."

"You made it yourself?" Yang Yujun was a little skeptical, and confirmed it again. "Well, Xiao Shen, your skills are absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, this yogurt is the best I've ever had!" Director Zhang praised repeatedly from the side.

"You've really shown us something today."

"You flatter me, Director," Shen Dong chuckled, then continued, "Actually, this yogurt is not only delicious, but also very nutritious!"

"If it could be mass-produced, it would definitely be very popular!"

"Yes..." Yang Yujun replied subconsciously, but his years of work experience made him realize immediately: there was a hidden meaning in his words!

He put down his spoon, glanced at Shen Dong, and found that the kid was looking at him with bright eyes and a smile in his eyes.

Hey, you're small but shrewd.

"Hey kid, just say what you have to say. Old Zhang and I are both here today; we can stand up for you."

His smile faded, and Shen Dong pondered for a moment before speaking seriously, "Director, I want to contract the commune's dairy factory!"

After he finished speaking, he stared into Yang Yujun's eyes, wanting to see his determination and resolve, and also trying to discern Yang Yujun's thoughts from his face.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Wang Yuan interrupted them: "No wonder you looked down on the job of a technical expert at the livestock station; so you've got your eye on the dairy factory!"

"Xiao Shen, logically speaking, based on your performance today, I should definitely support you, but what about the contract..."

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, afraid that his words might offend Shen Dong, and cautiously continued, "The main problem is that there's no policy in place right now. If we rashly open a loophole, what if we get blamed from above... don't you think so?"

"Director, you mean if the policy is relaxed, I will have a chance, right?"

"Of course!"

Shen Dong was waiting to hear those words!

Although Zhang Daikui was the deputy director, his words reflected the thoughts of the commune leaders at the time.

Moreover, the contract was not part of his plan for today.

What kind of contract is this? He doesn't even have ten yuan on him. You can't get something for nothing like this.

But if we don't contract it out, there are other ways.

"Well... Director Yang, Director Zhang, what if I were to partner with the dairy factory?"

"How do we cooperate?"

The group looked over in confusion.

"OEM manufacturing!"
