Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 240 Industrial Layout

Gu Zhan paused, turned around and said loudly, "Director Zhu, is there anything else?"

Zhu Changzhi walked up to Gu Zhan, patted him on the back and said with a smile, "After all, our young people are more advanced in thinking. After much thought, I still think I should take you to meet Secretary Tian so that we can discuss the next steps."

Gu Zhan was worrying about what excuse he should use to meet Tian Yun, and now Zhu Changzhi's invitation was just what he wanted.

So Gu Zhan nodded and agreed without thinking: "Okay, Director Zhu."

Turning around, Gu Zhan said to Zhao Baogen who was traveling with him, "Uncle Zhao, I'll go with you for a bit and come back as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's meet at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative."

Tian Yun had just finished a meeting and was walking in when he ran into Zhu Changzhi and Gu Zhan who were looking for him.

"Hello, Secretary. I was just looking for you with Xiao Gu." Zhu Changzhi saw Tian Yun and hurriedly walked up to greet him.

Gu Zhan followed Zhu Changzhi and said, "Hello, Secretary."

"We just finished a meeting. By the way, have the lists of all the communes been compiled?"

Zhu Changzhi nodded and said, "Secretary, now that all the statistics have been collected, there is a total shortage of 50 cattle. The Shanghe Village cattle farm can directly sell 40 cattle.

Originally, Tian Yun thought that only a few communes would sign up, and perhaps the county would have to mobilize them. Unexpectedly, the number exceeded his expectations.

"That's good."

As they were talking, the three of them had already entered the office.

"Is there anything else?" Tian Yun was curious why Zhu Changzhi brought Gu Zhan here.

Zhu Changzhi glanced at Gu Zhan, sat up straighter, and said to Tian Yun with a smile, "It's like this, Secretary. It's about the cattle farm in Shanghe Village."

Hearing Zhu Changzhi's words, Tian Yun frowned and thought to himself: "Hasn't the issue of cattle being sold off at the Shanghe Village cattle farm been resolved by now? Why is there still a problem now? Is there something wrong with the cattle farm now?"

Although Tian Yun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he did not show it on his face and waited for Zhu Changzhi to continue.

Seeing that Tian Yun was waiting for him to continue, Zhu Changzhi continued speaking according to what Gu Zhan had said to him before: "It is like this, Secretary, Xiao Gu just said that they want to continue to expand the cattle farm."

After hearing this, Tian Yun became interested: "Tell me about it."

"Xiao Gu said they plan to buy another batch of cattle after selling this batch, and then continue breeding calves and provide them to the outside world."

"But our market is always limited."

"Xiao Gu's point is that once we have enough cattle for agricultural production, we can directly supply beef to the outside world."

When saying this, Zhu Changzhi's voice was a little low, for he was afraid that Tian Yun would get angry when he heard it.

However, Tian Yun did not get angry as Zhu Changzhi had expected. Instead, he looked at Gu Zhan and Zhu Changzhi with a smile and said, "That's a good idea. Right now, all kinds of meat are in extremely short supply. If we could supply beef, wouldn't it be sold out immediately?"

"Oh, that's a good idea. Beef is a consumable product and there will always be demand for it. I think this idea can be implemented."

When Zhu Changzhi heard Tian Yun's agreement, he felt relieved. Taking advantage of Tian Yun's good mood, he raised several items of assistance proposed by Gu Zhan.

Tian Yun agreed readily.

With Zhu Changzhi's introduction, Gu Zhan's next words became easier to say.

"Secretary, I have an idea that concerns the development of our Xia County."

Tian Yun was very surprised to hear what Gu Zhan said. Even Zhu Changzhi looked at Gu Zhan in surprise, thinking, this kid hasn't mentioned this before, I wonder what new ideas he will come up with this time?

Tian Yun was about to go out and ask someone to pour a cup of tea, but he paused and sat back in his chair: "Tell me, Xiao Gu."

Gu Zhan, with a calm expression, recounted some of the things he had been sorting out recently. "Secretary, what I want to talk about is the long-term industrial development and layout of our Xia County. From the current perspective, there must be some incredible things, but I would like to ask Secretary to try to believe me."

"Well, go ahead." Tian Yun looked encouraging.

"Secretary Tian, ​​the college entrance examination has been resumed. I think you can see that if we continue this trend, our situation will gradually get better and better. In the future, it will only be better than it is now. Our economy is about to enter a period of rapid development."

"At this time, if we lay out the industry in advance, we will have a certain first-mover advantage in the future."

Tian Yun stood up and walked to the office door. He gently closed the door that had not been closed tightly just now and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."

Next, Gu Zhan briefly explained his proposed industrial development path for Xia County, combining its geographical advantages with its current reality. "Xia County has distinct four seasons, and its climate is relatively moist and mild compared to surrounding areas. This climate is suitable for aquaculture, but our aquaculture industry cannot be homogenized; instead, we should pursue a differentiated development path."

"How do you mean?" Zhu Changzhi asked curiously when he heard relatively unfamiliar words such as homogeneity and differentiation.

"For example, Shanghe Village raises yellow cattle. We in Xia County cannot raise only yellow cattle. We can raise a large number of dairy cows. Dairy cows produce milk. We can not only provide fresh milk to the outside world, but also provide dairy products such as milk powder."

Gu Zhan simply gave an example, which opened the door to Tian Yun's thinking: "You mean we should not only do the upstream things, but also the downstream industries?"

Gu Zhan smiled slightly. "If we have a lot of raw materials, why don't we develop downstream industries? Upstream industries help our farmers escape poverty, and downstream industries increase jobs and income for our workers. Besides, these things are scarce now. We can sell them to the province and beyond, and our finances can also get out of trouble. It's a win-win situation."

Tian Yun slapped his thigh and said, "Xiao Gu, your idea is very good. In the next few days, organize the matter you mentioned into a plan for me."

Gu Zhan said nothing. He took out a dozen pages of paper from a dark bag he was carrying and handed it to Tian Yun, saying, "Here are all my thoughts."

This is a detailed plan. Gu Zhan has written down the development paths of some industries in the future in it, and has also made detailed regulations for various things that are not conducive to future development. It is very beneficial to the long-term and healthy development of the industry.
