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

"OEM manufacturing!"

Shen Dong then revealed the ultimate purpose of his trip.

"I provide the formula technology, and the dairy factory manufactures the yogurt. Moreover, the yogurt is just the first product we've collaborated on; I have other formulas as well."

Seeing the interest in their eyes, Shen Dong continued, "Two options: one where I'll handle both raw materials and sales, while the dairy factory only handles production and processing..."

"No way!" Shen Dong was interrupted by Yang Yujun before he could finish speaking.

This solution has some effect on reviving the dairy factory, but not much.

If you're controlled by others in both pre-sales and after-sales, then you've truly become a tool.

"Xiao Shen, I think I understand what you mean. Please wait a moment. I'll have Liu Gui, the factory manager of the dairy factory, come over as well. This involves their factory, so we need his presence."

Having served as director for several years, Yang Yujun quickly grasped the situation.

Liu Gui was a slightly overweight, hunched-over middle-aged man who was quickly called in by Yang Yujun.

With a worldly smile on his face, he listened to the conversation that had just taken place.

"It's quite a coincidence that everyone is here today. I originally came here to meet the capable people in the commune, but I didn't expect to receive such a big surprise."

Yang Yujun's words were meant to elevate Shen Dong, and Liu Gui understood the underlying meaning.

Having served as factory manager for several years, I must take responsibility for the decline in the past two years.

He also knew that the commune was very dissatisfied with him, so he could understand that Yang Yujun was praising the other party on the surface, but secretly wanted him to cooperate well.

"But what could a little kid like you know!"

Once you're in the factory, we'll get our hands on your formula. Then you can see what value you'll still have!

"It's just a coincidence that he's still alive."

Despite his thoughts, Liu Gui still wore a cooperative expression.

"Don't worry, Director! As long as Comrade Shen is willing to cooperate with the factory, I will definitely go along with it! I just don't know the specifics of how we'll cooperate?"

"Let me propose a solution, see if it works for you."

"Director, please speak!"

Yang Yujun nodded and explained his plan.

"The factory handles all the pre-sales and after-sales work for the new yogurt! The commune helps prepare the raw materials needed in the early stages, and then repays the commune after receiving payment in the later stages."

"Xiao Shen oversees the entire production process to ensure that the quality and taste are similar to what we're eating today."

"In terms of sales, the commune will also help recommend companies to other departments and county supply and marketing cooperatives."

"After receiving the payment, we'll allocate another portion of the money to Xiao Shen."

"What do you guys think?"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Shen Dong.

His proposal was actually unfair to Shen Dong, so he was worried that Shen Dong would not accept it.

But he was overthinking it. Shen Dong didn't actually care about how much money he got, and he knew that by cooperating with the commune, he couldn't possibly gain any advantage.

What he wanted was for the other party to reap the benefits, bare their fangs, and try to devour him.

Then withdraw from the relationship, letting the other person know they can't live without you.

That will be when we truly have the upper hand.

Shen Dong wasn't naive enough to believe that Yang Yujun would truly support him unconditionally because of his abilities.

All he wanted was a chance to make contact.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Liu Gui will be imprisoned for embezzlement in a few years.

How can human nature possibly change!

"I think it's fine; we can discuss the specific amount and profit sharing later."

Shen Dong immediately expressed his opinion, with a humble attitude.

This relieved Yang Yujun, who became even more satisfied with Shen Dong.

Next, everyone focused on discussing matters such as recalling factory employees, restarting operations, and preparing raw materials.

Shen Dong only participated in part of the activities before happily preparing to leave the commune.

As soon as he stepped out, Wang Yuan called him over.

The livestock station wasn't far away, and the two quickly arrived at the office.

"There were some things we couldn't say to the director earlier, but now that we're alone, we can have a proper talk."

Wang Yuan took out some treasured tea from the cabinet, and Shen Dong, with his keen eye, immediately poured hot water over it.

Holding the steaming cup in both hands, Wang Yuan looked at Shen Dong with a smile.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, let's double-check this training course thing again, what do you think?"

Just as Shen Dong was about to speak, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in."

"Oh, Xiao Li, you've come at the right time. I was just about to look for you."

The person who came in was Technician Li, who had visited the Hongqi Production Team a few days ago. He was going to report on something, but when he entered the room and heard what the director said, he became puzzled.

"This is Shen Dong from the Hongqi Production Team. Do you remember their team's ox? I saw it just a few days ago!"

Li Cheng nodded: "I remember, I saw him three times and had three injections. What happened?"

"Our Comrade Xiao Shen saved it, and now the milk produced by this cow is of premium quality."

Li Cheng's face immediately lit up with a surprised smile, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a large steamed bun.

"I have invited him to our technical station to conduct training courses and share his experience and knowledge with everyone."

Intellectuals of this era are especially aware of the importance of knowledge.

Previously, she had been struggling to find a way to learn and absorb knowledge, but when she heard someone share such amazing experience, she was so excited that her eyes widened, and she took a step to Shen Dong's side and held his hand tightly.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Shen Dong! When does this training start? I'll sign up right now!"

Shen Dong's hand was gripped so tightly it hurt, and he grimaced in pain.

Seeing this, Li Cheng felt embarrassed and let go of her hand, quickly apologizing.

Shen Dong forced a smile and said, "It's okay. As for the training, I'll go home and get ready, and it can start tomorrow."

"Great!" Wang Yuan clapped his hands and cheered. He had called Shen Dong over to confirm this matter as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the boy to have such a broad perspective.

"Xiao Li, go and count how many people have signed up, then we'll find a suitable place."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Xiao Li forgot why he came and rushed out the door.

"Then, Director, I'll head back now."

Shen Dong thought the matter was over and prepared to take his leave.

"There's something else." Wang Yuan slapped his forehead and immediately tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Your Comrade Shen is willing to help us without reservation, asking for nothing in return."

"But we can't just accept it so openly."

"Comrade Xiao Shen, on behalf of the livestock station, I'd like to offer 1000 yuan to buy your cow. What do you think?"

Shen Dong immediately sensed the goodwill he was showing.

He was aware of his own plans and knew that the cows were no longer of much use to him.

Moreover, the price of an adult dairy cow is currently between 500 and 800 yuan, and this is a cow that was culled by the livestock station. 1000 yuan is definitely more than its value.

But Station Master Wang was still willing to pay for it, which was another form of reward.

"Station Master Wang, 600 yuan will suffice."

"Oh no, that won't do! This is the first cow in the entire commune to produce premium milk; it's a cow that will be recorded in the commune's history! 600 won't do!"

Shen Dong accepted Wang Yuan's well-intentioned offer with a wry smile.

As the saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to do so," so I'll have to do a good job with the training ahead.
