Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 145 Inspect the processing plant and throw the problem to the county!
Send Liao San away.

Fang Hongan fell into a deep sleep.

It's almost evening.

Wang Gui came to the rental house.

I invited Fang Hongan to have dinner at home.

It turned out that he happened to meet Liao San and knew that Fang Hongan had come to the county town.

After this cousin opened a pastry shop, his personality and the way he spoke became much more enthusiastic.

Neither the words nor the hint gave Fang Hongan the chance to refuse.

Of course, Fang Hongan didn't refuse at all.

We went to the pastry shop opposite the No. 1 Primary School.

However, the living environment behind the pastry shop is now very different from what it was at the beginning.

Since opening last year, the pastry shop has been doing very well.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang Gui and Wang Xiaojie should have made a lot of money.

When little Fang Yuelan was just born, the red envelope given to her was really quite thick.

When he went home for the New Year, he also gave Fang Cuihong a large sum of money.

After returning to the county town during the Chinese New Year.

Because I felt that the living environment before was a bit cramped.

So I rented a floor above the shop and used it exclusively for living.

There are a few more tables in the pastry shop below.

People who buy pastries can take them away or eat in at the table in the back.

According to what the two said, this will increase the cost of living.

But the pastry shop business is much better than before.

Although two similar snack shops have opened in Panbian, they have not had any impact on the business of their pastry shop.

The important thing is that this change was not suggested by Fang Hongan.

Rather, they figured it out through practice.

This means that, just as Fang Hongan thought, this couple is cut out for business.

……

Although it was prepared in a hurry.

But the dinner was still quite sumptuous.

After the New Year.

There is good news about Comrade Lan Shufang.

Wang Tong’s hard work paid off.

Lan Shufang's belly was also very good and she became pregnant smoothly.

The new daughter-in-law is pregnant.

The pastry shop is also getting back on track.

So, after the New Year, Fang Cuihong never came to the pastry shop to help again.

But right now the pastry shop is very busy.

Wang Gui invited his mother-in-law over.

Wang Gui’s father-in-law is from Shanmuling Village.

My mother-in-law is a few years younger than Fang Cuihong and is a good cook.

All the dishes on the table were obviously made according to Fang Hongan's taste.

I just drank at noon and didn't eat much.

Faced with this table full of delicious dishes, Fang Hongan couldn't help but eat half a bowl.

After dinner, while drinking tea, Wang Gui asked about some confusions in business as usual.

Now, in the entire Dongling Mountain, Fang Hongan has almost become a synonym for a mentor who helps people get rich.

Wang Gui's request for advice every once in a while has become a "reserved item" between the two of them.

Through these inquiries, Fang Hongan could clearly feel Wang Gui's growth.

From the beginning to now.

Not only did the number of questions decrease, but the quality of those questions also clearly began to improve.

These are no longer trivial issues, but mainly general issues involving thinking and exploration.

For example, this time, Wang Gui actually asked a question -

Do you want to expand the scale and open a branch?
In fact, this was not the first time he expressed this intention in front of Fang Hongan.

As early as last month, they returned to the village to visit the pregnant Lan Shufang.

Wang Gui asked Fang Hongan for his opinion in this regard.

At that time, Fang Hongan felt that the factors he considered were not comprehensive enough.

I suggest that he consider more factors and have a full understanding before discussing this issue with him.

As for Wang Gui, he should have been constantly learning, collecting information, and thinking about it according to what Fang Hongan said during this month...

After I had thought it through, I took this opportunity to ask this question.

Faced with Wang Gui's question, Fang Hongan smiled and decisively gave a positive answer.

In fact.

The answer was actually obvious when Wang Gui asked him last month.

In this age full of opportunities, pastry shops like Wang Gui's actually have a huge room for survival in Xin County.

Not to mention opening a branch.

Even if we open five or six more stores, it’s completely fine.

Last time, Wang Guizhi suggested that Wang Gui should consider many factors comprehensively and collect more information.

In fact, it is guiding him to do market research.

Through market research, you can first understand the location of the branch you want to open, the main products, the scale of the store, and the people, materials, money and other resources needed to open the store.

After thinking about all these things, the answer to the whole question is actually already clear.

It can also save a lot of effort later.

After seeing Fang Hongan nod decisively, Wang Gui and his wife instantly understood Fang Hongan's previous intention.

While feeling excited, he also expressed his gratitude to Fang Hongan.

After solving this problem, Fang Hongan prepared to return.

When sending Fang Hongan downstairs, Wang Xiaojie suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but call Fang Hongan:
"Hongan! You...someone has been coming to the rental house to snoop around lately...you should be careful at night!"

"Hmm?" Fang Hongan narrowed his eyes.

The rental house is the staff building of the People’s Hospital.

This kind of building is generally quite safe.

Generally, people of bad character don't dare to go in.

This was one of the important factors when Fang Hongan chose to rent that piece of land.

Moreover, after Deputy County Mayor Song went there that time.

Everyone in the yard became curious about Fang Hongan, the foreign tenant.

After some inquiries, I basically knew Fang Hongan's identity.

He also knew that Fang Hongan was highly regarded by the county's senior leaders.

At the moment, everyone in the yard was very polite to Fang Hongan.

Under such circumstances, it was a bit surprising that someone went to inquire.

"It shouldn't be a thief!"

Wang Xiaojie pondered for a moment and then began to explain, "At first, when I was cleaning, I heard the grandmother next door say it..."

"I bumped into him once, too. It was an old man who was wandering outside the window of the house, standing on tiptoe and looking inside timidly. I didn't pay attention to him at first, but as soon as he saw me, he lowered his head and hurried away!"

"Old man?"

Fang Hongan half-closed his eyes and roughly guessed what was going on.

He nodded, said it was okay, and turned and left.

We walked all the way back to the rental house.

When I arrived at the yard, I happened to run into the old lady who lived opposite.

"Xiao Fang! Oh! It's really you!"

Seeing Fang Hongan, the enthusiastic mother-in-law quickly came up and said, "I heard some noise at noon and guessed that you were here! Oh, you haven't been here for so long. That little girl must have grown up. Is she eating well? Your Xiaolan..."

The enthusiastic mother-in-law pulled Fang Hongan aside and asked him questions enthusiastically.

After chatting for a while, I remembered that I had important news to tell Fang Hongan.

Immediately, he told them that someone had come outside the house to investigate their situation during this period.

Fang Hongan also got more accurate information from him.

In terms of time, it basically matches what Liao San said about the time when the old man went to his shop to inquire.

Then there is the description of the headrest.

White beard!
Very thin!

My back is a bit hunched...

This information is completely consistent.

After hearing the news.

Fang Hongan was even more certain of his previous guess.

It seems...

This was most likely the grandfather whom he had never met.

Thinking of this, Fang Hongan's emotions became even more complicated.

In this matter, Fang Hongan's feelings and emotions are completely different from those when dealing with his uncle's family.

The family of my uncle and aunt Diao.

When his grandparents were alive, he had many conflicts with them.

Especially that Diao aunt, she said a lot of harsh words at the beginning.

In other words, this contradiction had been accumulating since Fang Hongan was very young.

What's more, what happened next was that instead of lending grain, they planned to take Fang Hongan's one acre of good land.

It can be said that from that time on, this kind of family affection was completely severed.

But this grandpa's family.

Fang Hongan has never experienced this.

To say...

Since things had gotten so complicated, my grandfather's family had cut off all ties with my mother, so they no longer had any relationship with him.

But he has experience from two lifetimes.

Especially... there are examples of my wife and father-in-law's family there...

Fang Hongan knew very well that the origin of this matter must be very complicated.

Just like when Fang Hongan was young, his grandparents always said that his grandparents' family actually had their own difficulties, and they always advised Fang Hongan not to be jealous of his grandparents' family.

My grandfather’s original words were, what parent in this world would really be willing to sever ties with the daughter they raised!

The root of everything is just wanting my daughter to live a better life.

What's more, when Fang Hongan's parents passed away.

His position in my grandfather's family is not as outsiders say.

I have never been to Shiwan Village.

In fact, I have been here.

And more than once.

only……

They were all found in private.

even……

At first, they wanted to take Fang Hongan's mother's body back for burial.

After being flatly rejected by Fang Hongan's grandfather.

He also took some of Fang Hongan's mother's clothes back, saying that he wanted to build a cenotaph.

after that……

During the most difficult years in the mountains, we also sent supplies here.

But later on, for some reason, it suddenly stopped.

His grandparents instilled a lot of information in this regard, and gradually Fang Hongan developed a complicated attitude towards his grandparents' family.

And right now...

As more and more evidence pointed to the fact that the old man who was inquiring was most likely his grandfather, Fang Hongan's emotions became even more complicated.

How to face it?
How to face it?
Even though he had lived two lives, Fang Hongan didn't know what to do for a moment... He tossed and turned all night.

This was the first time Fang Hongan suffered from insomnia since his rebirth.

……

The next day.

Fang Hongan slept until noon before getting up.

After breakfast, we went straight to the processing plant which was under construction.

The processing plant's land is located in the northeast of Xin County.

It is located on the main road from Xin County to Xiaonan area and the neighboring Gui County.

It is about fifteen minutes' ride on bicycle from the county center.

Based on the experience of the previous life.

Fang Hongan knew very well that this would be the only expressway exit in Xin County in the future.

It is also the core location of Xin County Industrial Development Zone.

Of course, this area is still undeveloped and consists of a few small villages.

There is convenient transportation and sufficient labor resources.

Therefore, when the county asked Fang Hongan to select the site for the processing plant, Fang Hongan directly rejected the initial plan given by the county and chose this place directly.

As the first private processing plant in the county.

It has brought countless surprises to the county and may bring about great changes to the entire Xin County. The county has also demonstrated great courage.

In this first phase, 20 acres of land were directly allocated for the preparation of the processing plant.

They also promised that if the processing plant develops well and needs to expand, the land nearby will be given priority to the processing plant.

The land was allocated for free use, and the land cost alone saved the processing plant a lot of money.

As for the construction of the processing plant.

The drawings were finalized after a lot of effort by the county's Construction Committee and Fang Hongan.

It combines the professionalism of the Construction Committee with Fang Hongan’s experience in the processing plant in his previous life.

As for construction, there are no private construction teams these days.

But in Xin County, when the production teams were developing side businesses, many teams had side businesses such as construction.

These construction sideline teams have become famous.

The county also integrated resources to build a county-level construction team.

During the era of the big pot, this construction team was well-known in the surrounding area for its professional technical capabilities.

Not to mention the neighboring Gui County, even many construction projects in the neighboring Gui Province have invited this construction team to participate in the construction.

After the household contract responsibility system was implemented, many sideline teams of production brigades were disbanded.

But the construction team in the county was still retained.

This was the predecessor of the later Xinxian Construction Company.

Later, Xinxian Construction Company became the county's main revenue-generating and tax-paying unit.

In this era, when it comes to professional capabilities, control of project quality, and speed of project progress, this construction team is absolutely second to none.

Moreover, it was originally a construction team from the county.

Regarding the construction payment and settlement period, the county has also promised that it can be settled within two years after the processing plant goes into operation.

Such abundant conditions can be considered a major hidden benefit provided by the county.

Fang Hongan naturally enjoyed it as well.

The county also pays great attention to the construction of the processing plant.

Not only when the groundbreaking ceremony was held, the main leaders of the county were all present to support the processing plant.

During the construction process, the Construction Committee and the Agricultural Department also helped with supervision.

Thanks to this, Fang Hongan was able to get away from Shiwan Village after finding someone to help keep an eye on it. He had these precious few months to promote the construction of the apiary.

More than a month has passed since we resumed work after the Chinese New Year and it is now April.

When Fang Hongan arrived, the construction of the entire processing plant had already taken shape.

In this section of the county, the person responsible for supervising the project construction is a section chief of the Construction Committee.

His surname is Long and his name is Longtanjun.

Don’t underestimate this Section Chief Long, he is young, only in his early thirties.

But his professional ability is quite outstanding and he has quite rich experience.

When the drawings of the processing plant were being finalized, it was mainly him and Fang Hongan who were in communication.

After all, Fang Hongan had a lot of experience from later generations, so when designing the drawings, he put forward many advanced design concepts and specific details.

These concepts and details are proven to be feasible.

While giving Section Chief Long a huge shock, it also made him convinced of Fang Hongan.

When he learned that Fang Hongan was coming to visit the processing plant, he waited outside early.

As soon as Fang Hongan arrived, he excitedly pulled Fang Hongan aside and started introducing himself to him.

From the progress of the project, to the implementation of the details, to some areas that we want to optimize and improve...

Watching and talking...

From beginning to end, he hardly ever stopped talking.

Fang Hongan, for his part, had long been accustomed to his talkative personality when it came to professional matters.

While nodding in response to him, she continued to look around on her own.

In the mid-1980s, the industrial base was still quite weak, and steel production, both in terms of raw materials and technology, was quite backward.

Steel prices remain high.

Therefore, this processing plant mainly uses brick-concrete structure.

This is also the specialty of the county construction team.

After looking at the entire project one by one, Fang Hongan was quite satisfied with both the progress and quality.

As for the many detailed suggestions mentioned by Section Chief Long, Fang Hongan adopted some of them, but he still insisted on these parts.

The parts that Fang Hongan insisted on are actually mainly used to increase the areas for safety and hygiene considerations.

Because Fang Hongan didn’t mark it out directly.

To Section Chief Long, this seems a bit redundant, affecting production efficiency and increasing construction costs.

That’s why it is recommended to optimize it.

However, in Fang Hongan's view, processing plants must control costs while also pursuing convenience and smooth operation.

However, as food and wine processing and production, we also need to adhere to the bottom line in terms of hygiene and safety.

After communicating these things with Section Chief Long, the latter finally understood.

While applauding, their admiration for Fang Hongan clearly reached a new level.

At the end of the visit, the captain of the construction team, who had just rushed back from another place, also rushed over in a hurry.

This project is not only a key project assigned by the county.

From the drawings, we can see many novel aspects of the construction of the entire processing plant.

In the early stages of construction, the many experiences Fang Hongan shared also greatly inspired the construction team.

Based on the inspiration learned from Fang Hongan, I applied it to other construction projects.

Their construction team found that the efficiency and safety of the entire building had been significantly improved.

Especially the safety management systems formulated by Fang Hongan.

For the construction team, the benefits are even greater.

Captain Hao of the construction team admired Fang Hongan very much.

He took Fang Hongan for a walk and asked for a lot of advice.

He arranged for Fang Hongan to have dinner before he personally drove Fang Hongan back to the rental house.

After inspecting the construction of the processing plant, Fang Hongan spent the following day mainly busy with trivial matters.

Another day later.

May 1985, 5 arrived.

That day, in the workers' meeting room of the county party committee.

The May Day commendation conference, which has been held annually in Xin County in recent years, will be held.

As an award-winning representative who will go on stage to speak.

Early in the morning, the familiar county party committee jeep stopped outside the door of the rental house.

After arriving at the county party committee, Secretary Zhang Qingnan and other county leaders were waiting for Fang Hongan to have breakfast.

In the absence of any hospitality, breakfast was eaten in the county party committee’s canteen.

Holding the plate, he finished a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun and a steamed bun.

Taking advantage of the stroll, Fang Hongan had a brief exchange with Secretary Zhang Qingnan and others on the construction status of the entire processing plant.

Based on yesterday's observations, the entire processing plant should be fully operational in three months.

As the construction costs can be paid later and the credit union has provided a loan, the funding gap on the processing plant's side no longer exists.

The rest, the raw material part, the production process part...

At the apiary, there is already a mature and standardized process.

For convenience, Fang Hongan even compiled relevant specific operating instructions.

The remaining, and in fact the most urgent, problem is the purchase of equipment and the hiring of workers.

In the early days of this processing plant, the main products were bottled honey, beeswax blocks, bee wine, honey wine, and honey grapefruit tea.

As for the equipment produced, there are actually not many.

Mainly like glass bottles for honey, large vats for wine, small jars for wine...

For these glass bottles, the channel previously provided by the supply and marketing cooperative was a glass factory in the region.

After such a long period of cooperation, a good cooperative relationship has been established on the apiary side.

In the later period, the supply and marketing cooperative also directly opened up and allowed the bee farm and the glass factory to connect directly.

As for the glass bottle for honey, based on the initial one-pound bottle, Fang Hongan submitted a design plan for a two-kilogram glass bottle to the glass factory this year.

At present, the glass factory is also stepping up production.

In addition to honey bottles, Fang Hongan also customized a batch of wine bottles.

As for the large vats for brewing wine.

There is no such factory in Xin County. Earlier, the county actually promised to help contact the factories in the area, but Yan has not responded yet. Fang Hongan deliberately pointed this out at this time, which also serves as an urging.

Except for those in the containers.

The most critical thing is that the processing plant urgently needs to purchase two large trucks.

Going up and down the mountain to transport raw materials.

Outbound delivery!

They are all very necessary.

This thing...

If you want to buy it, you have to go to the province.

Moreover, if you go there just in the name of a processing plant, you will not be allowed to buy even if you have money.

The county must step in!
As for the issue of recruiting workers, according to Fang Hongan's estimation, the manpower required by the initial processing plant should not be much.

About thirty-four will be enough.

However, this involves the small villages near the processing plants.

For various reasons, priority will definitely be given to recruiting people from those small villages.

But Fang Hongan is an outsider, and if he recruits people on his own, it would probably cause some trouble.

Judging from the experience of promoting bee breeding, it would be better if there is official participation...

……

When Fang Hongan was communicating, he was very tactful and raised these questions one by one.

"Good for you Hongan!"

"I asked you to explain the situation, but you are only causing problems for us!"

After Fang Hongan finished speaking, Zhang Qingnan started to tease him jokingly.

By the way, I asked Secretary Wang beside me to write down the questions.

Immediately, it was distributed to all the departments involved and implementation began.

By the time the walk was over, some of Fang Hongan's questions had received the answers they wanted.

And after these replies.

It was approaching ten o'clock.

Fang Hongan followed Secretary Wang into the workers' meeting room.

It's ten o'clock.

With Zhang Qingnan's signature dry cough, the May 1st Commendation Conference officially kicked off.
