National Tide 1980

Chapter 1094 It’s all under control

Since the mid-1970s, modern large-scale chicken farms have been built in Beijing.

After more than ten years of efforts by animal husbandry technicians and all employees, Beijing has successfully established a modern laying hen production supporting system, and promoted the development of collective and professional household chicken production.

So far, the demand for poultry and eggs of residents in the city has been basically solved, making eggs and chicken no longer the rarities of the past, and greatly improving the quality of life of the people in the capital.

But at the same time, we have to admit that the development direction of this kind of modern chicken farm is quantity first.

Therefore, in this process, local chicken breeds with high quality but low quantity have been ignored to some extent.

As a result, they were "accidentally killed" and almost reached the point of extinction.

It is a pity that the palace yellow chicken discovered by Ning Weimin is facing such a critical situation.

But having said that, it can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes that Ning Weimin found them at this critical moment.

Because he has abundant financial resources and connections.

And he knows better than anyone the true value of these endangered court chickens.

This makes it possible for these palace yellow chickens to preserve the continuation of their race.

Unsaid, in order to turn the tide, Ning Weimin did another amazing move on this day.

Not only did he spend a lot of money, he also used the thousand yuan he brought with him to wrap up all the palace yellow chickens in the village and the eggs laid by these chickens.

He will continue to send these chicken samples to these villagers' homes for a few days.

Witnessed by the village committee, he made an agreement with the villagers that starting from today, he would pay 2 cents for each chicken every day.

The money will be paid in one lump sum when he comes to pick up the chicken a few days later.

With this condition, these villagers who raised palace yellow chickens in their homes were so beautiful that their noses were filled with bubbles.

You know, a chicken on the market only costs about two yuan, and the price Ning Weimin paid was several times the market price.

For these villagers, it is tantamount to making a fortune.

In addition, you can actually make money by feeding chickens.

No one expected that these goods, which no one wanted to lose money for at first, would actually earn them a huge benefit in the end.

As a result, the whole village was filled with joy. Anyone who had chickens at home was beaming with joy and promised Ning Weimin that they would take good care of them.

He said that not only would these "babies" of his not starve, but someone would also take good care of them at night, so that they would definitely not be picked up by weasels.

As for why Ning Weimin was so worried about these villagers and didn't immediately get rid of these treasures that had soared in value?

Hey, this is also a helpless move. After all, there are nearly a hundred chickens, which is too many.

He couldn't help but keep it in his car, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of it.

As if he was really going to invade the village with the Japs, he loaded all the chickens into a truck and took them away. If he turned around and tortured these chickens to death again, he would kill them all.

Then he is really doing bad things with good intentions, and his efforts are in vain.

So, just buying these chickens is not enough. He also has to think of a way to find a suitable place for these chickens to breed, and find a few people who really know how to care for the birds.

In this way, Ning Weimin took away two chickens, one male and one female, and several baskets of eggs that day.

After sending Zhang Dashao back, he immediately found the Agricultural University the next day and urgently consulted with the school leaders to see if they could cooperate on this matter.

What he meant was that he would provide the funds himself, and the Agricultural University would provide people and find a suitable place to raise these precious chickens.

Then technical experts from the Agricultural University were asked to optimize the breeding and find ways to restore the original physical characteristics and production characteristics of the palace yellow chickens as soon as possible.

Once successful, the Agricultural University will be responsible for breeding and he will be responsible for marketing.

In addition to sharing business profits between the two parties, he is also willing to additionally fund scientific research projects at agricultural universities.

To be honest, as an agricultural university, of course I wholeheartedly agree with this proposal.

After all, in recent years, Agricultural University has gradually become a marginalized and unpopular university.

Not only is there insufficient funds, but even the annual enrollment is at the bottom of major universities.

Just think about it, whose child has the ability to go to college and still rush to the countryside to work in the countryside?

Students who go to Agricultural University are only willing to come here if they cannot get into other colleges.

So someone actually rushed to send money and entrusted them to breed chickens. This was undoubtedly a great thing.

If this matter is really negotiated, it will not only allow teachers and students majoring in animal husbandry to gain practical experience, have the opportunity to increase their technical accumulation, but also earn funds for the school, which is simply a dream.

But the problem is that the obstacles and difficulties are also very obvious, especially the Agricultural University, which has many concerns.

This cannot but be done cautiously by the Agricultural University and requires serious consideration.

The first is the policy obstacle.

After all, no one had ever dared to come to the university to propose such a commercial cooperation before.

Moreover, generally such market-oriented scientific research projects have always been led by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

As an agricultural university, it becomes a question whether it has the power and whether it will touch the policy red line.

Secondly, as a peer in the industry, Agricultural University also knew information that Ning Weimin did not know.

The breeding poultry company under the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences actually realized the serious situation of Beijing's oil chickens being extinct as early as the 1960s.

And with the support of the municipal government, we went to Datun, Beiding, Wali, Chaoyang District, and HD District in Beijing, where the distribution of fried chickens is concentrated, and conducted investigations village by village, household by household, group by group, and individual by individual. Register.

Then after careful selection, a batch of breeder chickens were rescued and a gene bank and Beijing Oil Chicken Protection Group were established.

In other words, even if they are willing to take over such work, it will be repetitive.

From a scientific research perspective, it is a serious waste and of little significance.

Finally, the Agricultural University did not have enough understanding of Ning Weimin's situation and did not have enough confidence in him.

You know, in fact, they had already dealt with each other once last year.

At that time, Ning Weimin entrusted them to go to the west of Beijing to find the legendary "Purple Gold Hoop", which is also called Yutian Rouge Rice.

And they also promised the Agricultural University very generous economic returns.

Not to mention, they actually found it after running a few times. Then it was time to try farming.

But whether Ning Weimin can fulfill his original promise is a problem for them.

You know, this guy promised them not only scientific research funding, but also promised to give them a car.

Now they are asked to breed royal yellow chickens. This requires two projects combined. How much will it cost?

Although how much it will ultimately cost depends on the scale.

But what can be expected at present is that the approximate number is as low as hundreds of thousands, and as high as millions.

In their minds, it was hard for them to believe that Ning Weimin could get so much money at once!

In other words, even if he could get it, he might not really be willing to make such a big deal.

Because of today’s social climate, who is not chasing money?

Even the Agricultural University itself believes that agriculture and animal husbandry have low returns and low benefits, and are the industries least worth investing in.

People who can afford so much money can definitely use this money to make a lot of money in shopping malls.

So why do you need to invest so much money into the water?

The returns are not proportional. Isn’t the money spent? This is not purely a disease.

No matter what they thought, Ning Weimin's conversation was very shrewd, not like a brainless person, so maybe there was something fishy in it...

In short, for Agricultural University, this matter is full of surprises. Although I really want to do it, I am also intimidated and have many worries.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin was determined and sincere. After patient negotiations, he quickly figured out the Agricultural University's ideas.

Although he was quite surprised that the breeding poultry company had already started the protection work of the palace yellow chickens and that Zijin Hoop had found two things.

But this did not affect his determination. Instead of putting pressure on him, it made him even more surprised and indescribably excited. He gained a lot more confidence and certainty in these two things.

So he quickly reached a consensus with the Agricultural University on two issues besides policy restrictions.

First of all, Ning Weimin knew very well that the breeding poultry company started breeding palace yellow chickens first.

He said that since the breeding poultry company raised and multiplied these palace yellow chickens in chicken farms, they also fed them feed.

You can understand that the purpose and direction of the breeding poultry company are very different from him.

He explained to the Agricultural University that the scientific research focus of breeding poultry companies is undoubtedly on how to increase production.

The breakthrough they are looking for is how to reduce the cost of breeding while ensuring the quality of the meat and eggs of the poultry, so that they can put palace yellow chickens on people's tables.

To put it bluntly, breeding poultry companies are facing the domestic market and targeting mass consumer groups.

But his purpose is not to do export business and earn foreign exchange for the country.

The foreign market targeted is the wealthy class among foreigners.

To this end, all he needs is to improve the quality of the palace yellow chicken and establish the standards and characteristics of high-end luxury goods.

He doesn't care how much money it costs to raise such a chicken, as long as the texture of his chicken is significantly more delicious than other varieties.

In this way, the royal yellow chickens they cultivate will not only not be a waste in the direction of scientific research, but will also form a strong complement to the breeding poultry company, and they are likely to be able to exchange technical knowledge.

In his opinion, if things continue to develop like this, maybe in the near future, the palace yellow chicken and the capital fried chicken will become two types of chicken.

The ones they bred together are palace yellows, while the ones from the breeding poultry company can only be considered oil chickens.

These far-sighted and innovative remarks immediately made the leaders of Agricultural University find new excitement and couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

And that's not all, Ning Weimin not only paints cakes, he also does it in a real way.

Then he took out a check and made an advance payment of 200,000 yuan on the spot. He wanted to fulfill his promise and sign a breeding, production and underwriting contract for the "Zijinhuan" rouge rice with the Agricultural University.

He said that Agricultural University can grow as much as he wants, and once the contract is signed, Agricultural University can choose the trucks.

Cherokee or Santana is their choice.

Just smashing this check shocked everyone in the leadership team of Agricultural University and they couldn't sit still.

Because nothing is as convincing as money.

Now all doubts about Ning Weimin's personality disappeared, and no one thought his words were child's play anymore.

But here's the interesting thing. At this time, the Agricultural University side didn't dare to accept the check rashly.

Because they still have to go through the procedures and apply to their superiors.

Now the Agricultural University is worried that if its superiors disapprove, they themselves will break their promise.

However, that's not all. Ning Weimin knew that policy approval was the most important step, and he was the weakest in this area, so he used the opportunity to go abroad as bait.

He deliberately mentioned the feeding method of Bresse chickens in France to the leaders of the Agricultural University.

He said that he had heard that this kind of chicken is extremely recognizable, with its bright red comb, snow-white feathers, and steel-blue feet. It is the same color as the French flag, so it is known as the "national chicken" of France.

And because we always insist on natural stocking, the cost is extremely high.

Ordinary French families are only willing to eat it during special festivals every year.

If you don't believe it, you can go to France to investigate. He will help complete all the procedures for going abroad and will be responsible for all the investigation funds for the twelve places.

As expected, this is even more effective than the promise of cars and scientific research funds. I heard that you can go abroad, and there are so many places, and it is France that ranks first among capitalist developed countries.

The entire venue was in a state of excitement, and even the most calm people couldn't help but get excited, wishing they could treat Ning Weimin as a noble person.

As things turned out, these people from the Agricultural University went to find ways to do the work of their superiors, and within three days, the result was obtained - signature!

In this way, not only was Ningweimin's palace yellow chicken found, but soon someone sent it to the experimental pasture of a unit affiliated to the Agricultural University.

Even the rouge rice that he thought might no longer be found fell into his hands. This was a double happiness for him, and it couldn't be a better result.

In comparison, what does it cost to spend 1.8 million?

Speaking of which, Zhang Dashao couldn't help but feel his heart aching for him.

"Weimin, didn't I trick you? Why did you spend so much money on this palace yellow and rouge rice? Can you explain this to the company? Your leaders won't blame you..."

This old man was so kind. He didn't know it was Ning Weimin's own money, otherwise he would have been even more shocked.

Ning Weimin could only comfort him, "It's okay, don't worry. I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to see such a good thing like us in a few years."

"But...but this one million! Such a lot of money. If you, Uncle Kang, know about it, you will have to blame me..." The old man still felt guilty. After all, for ordinary people, one million is really an astronomical figure.

Ning Weimin was completely happy at this time.

"No. Master Zhang, it's worth it, it's really worth it! The treasure you gave me is worth spending more than a million, not to mention."

"Is it really worth it?" Zhang Dashao finally felt relieved when he saw that Ning Weimin's joy did not seem to be fake.

Ning Weimin patted his chest.

"I'm not wronging you, just watch it. As long as the rice grows and the chickens are bred, all the money will be back in a few years. And this is a good thing that will benefit our future generations. I'm afraid our descendants will be able to take advantage of it." Woolen cloth."

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed after following him, "It sounds like you were wronged for giving me such a good treasure. In the end, I asked you to accompany me on a trip in vain. When I came back from Qinghe, I didn't even give you any eggs. I went to the Agricultural University to select for hatching. You don’t blame me, do you?”

"Hey, it's not strange. We still have a long time to live," the old man said frankly. "Anyway, the chicken and rice are yours, so you can make up for it slowly. I don't believe it. When your warehouse is full of rice and the chickens are flying around, Can you kid forget me again?"

"Hehe..." Ning Weimin also laughed now. "Don't worry, if you wait until then, you won't have to look for these two things yourself if you want to eat them in the future. Someone will naturally bring them to your door..."

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat your ready-made food..."
