Chapter 123 Turnaround
Chapter 123 Turnaround
After Gu Zhan finished his phone call with Zhao Baogen, he returned home and brought the plan that he had reorganized last night to Zhao Baogen's house.
Zhao Baogen took the plan and read it carefully. At the end, he couldn't help but sigh that the plan written by Gu Zhan was indeed very interesting.
The responsibilities of each party are clearly written, and all the processes are clear at a glance.
In this case, how can it be said that Gu Zhan is not sure about establishing a cattle farm?
In fact, it seemed that the one who was unsure from beginning to end was myself, the team leader of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade.
Zhao Baogen suddenly felt that he was a little too conservative. When he saw young and new things, he naturally felt fear and doubt.
"It turns out that I have regressed." Zhao Baogen said with a sigh.
"Uncle Zhao, you can't say that. You have a lot of experience."
When Zhao Baogen heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said with emotion: "You kid, you really have a lot of experience. Remember back then..." Zhao Baogen recalled the experience of leading the villagers of Shanghe Village to overcome natural disasters time and time again.
Gu Zhan listened carefully and became more determined in his heart. In this life, he must lead the local folks out of poverty and live a good life.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhan took his improved plan and went to the County Agricultural Bureau to find Zhu Changzhi.
Zhu Changzhi read Gu Zhan's proposal carefully, clapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Great, Xiao Gu, this is a good plan. Leave it with me for now. I'll take it to see Secretary Tian later."
"No problem, Director Zhu, thank you for your concern for our affairs." Gu Zhan said.
"Xiao Gu, you shouldn't say that. This is a major event for Xia County, and we should support you."
After Gu Zhan left, Zhu Changzhi took the plan left by Gu Zhan and hurried to meet Tian Yun.
Zhu Changzhi had already come to discuss this matter with Tian Yun yesterday.
Tian Yun had been thinking about this until now. Xia County's productivity was relatively weak, and many areas lacked oxen for farming, requiring manual labor. This was a practical problem, and a cattle farm would be the perfect fit.
But it is not so easy to run this cattle farm. The county-level funds are indeed very limited now. If a portion of it is allocated to Shanghe Village alone, I am afraid there will be protests in some places.
This matter is more difficult to deal with.
"Secretary, Director Zhu is here." Secretary Hu Yonghua came in and said.
"Please come in quickly." Knowing that Zhu Changzhi came for the cattle farm, Tian Yun asked Hu Yonghua to invite him in quickly.
"Secretary Tian, the plan you mentioned yesterday is here."
"Bring it to me quickly."
Zhu Changzhi took out the plan written by Gu Zhan from his briefcase and handed it to Tian Yun: "Secretary, please take a look. This is the plan written by Gu Zhan."
Tian Yun took the plan with some doubt and began to study it carefully. Not satisfied after reading it once, he read it again. Then he looked up and said to Zhu Changzhi, "Gu Zhan is an interesting young man. With this plan, I think the cattle farm he said he would establish in Shanghe Village will probably not lose money."
Zhu Changzhi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Secretary, I agree with you. Judging from the actual situation in our county, most of the production brigades in the county are short of oxen, and a large number of production brigades cannot buy oxen even if they have money.
If Gu Zhan really manages to build this cattle farm, it will solve the problem of the shortage of oxen in our county and the problem of oxen replacement."
"I've considered what you said, but how do we provide the funds?"
Zhu Changzhi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we lend the money to Shanghe Village in the name of the county? Then they can return it to the government after they become profitable, and this will solve the problem."
Zhu Changzhi's solution should be the most reasonable one at present, but Tian Yun feels bad about it.
"There's nothing wrong with what you said, but it's a bit petty. As a government, we're watching opportunities that would benefit our own development slip away right before our eyes. Isn't that a step backward?"
Zhu Changzhi sighed and fell silent. Didn't he also want to seize this opportunity?
But with limited funds, there is really only so much we can do.
Finally, Tian Yun thought carefully and said, "Director Zhu, for the cattle farm in Shanghe Village, our county will pay half of the money for the purchase of cattle, and the village will find a way to pay the other half. This way, on the one hand, it will encourage more production brigades to emulate the Shanghe Village production brigade.
As long as they can come up with good projects that are truly beneficial to local development, our county will support them to the extent necessary. On the other hand, this can also suppress the voices of those who wait for relief food in the name of fairness."
Hearing Tian Yun's voice, Zhu Changzhi was delighted and wanted to take the file and leave, but Tian Yun stopped him.
"Director Zhu, our county is issuing a document to promote and support agricultural development. You should quickly draft it. Once the document is issued, allocate funds to Shanghe Village's cattle farm according to the procedures. This will also allow Shanghe Village to take the lead and stimulate Xia County's agricultural development."
"Oh, okay, Secretary."
After Zhu Changzhi left, Tian Yun looked at the plan in front of him and smiled slightly.
He was worried about the lack of improvement in agricultural development in the county, and the situation at the Shanghe Village cattle farm gave him another idea.
Gu Zhan had just returned to Shanghe Village on his bicycle when he received the results from Zhu Changzhi: "Secretary Tian was very satisfied with your proposal. His initial suggestion is that the county will pay half of the money used by the Shanghe Village cattle farm to purchase cattle, and you will be responsible for the other half."
This sudden good news made Gu Zhan very excited. The county's willingness to provide half of the funds was completely beyond Gu Zhan's expectations. With this half of the funds, he would be more confident when talking to Sun Yuan and Guo Zhida again.
When Gu Zhan was thinking about how to talk to Sun Yuan, Zhu Changzhi said again: "And your plan, Secretary Tian kept it."
Gu Zhan smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already memorized it."
Zhu Changzhi...
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhan told Zhao Baogen the news. Zhao Baogen was still a little unconvinced: "What? You said the county will provide half of the funds? Is there such a good thing?"
"It's true that they'll give half. Director Zhu just called and told me that."
After the joy, Zhao Baogen thought about the other half of the funds and said with a bitter face: "What about the other half of the funds?"
Gu Zhan smiled mysteriously and said, "Half of the funds is enough for us to get started. I have my own way to raise the remaining half."
