Chapter 260: Beat the roe deer, scoop the fish, pheasant and fly into the rice pot
Afterwards, Qin Hao and his entourage got into Lin Xibai's truck and drove all the way from the city to the inaccessible suburbs.
Lin Xibai also sat in the carriage and introduced everyone with a smile.
"Don't look at it, the Great Northern Wilderness seems very desolate, but it is rich in products. There is a local saying: sticks beat roe deer and gourds scoop up fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. We grow grain here for one season, and the output is better than that in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
Two seasons of planting would be more.”
This is true. Beidahuang will become the country's largest granary in the future, directly affecting food prices.
The truck drove for a long time before reaching its destination. As far as the eye could see, there was endless black land.
Qin Hao stepped out of the truck and had a lot of thoughts at the moment. Only by personally experiencing this period of history can he realize how wise the ancestors were.
It was getting dark, so Lin Xibai led Qin Hao and his party to the guest house. It was said to be a guest house, but in fact it was a temporary brick house.
"Come on, let's take a few sips of wine to warm ourselves up."
As soon as they arrived at the cafeteria, Lin Xibai directly brought in two bottles of white wine, one bottle weighing ten kilograms, which made everyone look stupid.
When Lin Xibai saw this, he smiled and said: "The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge here. If you don't drink some wine, you will feel unwell."
But there was one thing Lin Xibai didn't brag about. The food was quickly served, including two large pots of white flour steamed buns and a large pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms. The food was quite good.
Qin Ling asked curiously: "Uncle Lin, why don't you see anyone farming on this road?"
Lin Xibai put down the wine bowl and smacked her lips: "It's only March now, and the frozen soil hasn't melted yet. Generally, we don't enter the busy farming season until the end of April."
"Wouldn't that be very comfortable?" Ning Yu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Lin Xibai was happy: "Free? Every November, heavy snow blocks the road. Before that, we have to spend two months to store enough wood and coal, otherwise the heating cannot keep up in winter. That's
It will really freeze someone to death.”
"So all in all, it only takes a few months to open up wasteland for us. It means really risking your life to do it. To tell you the truth, if our place is not inaccessible and the educated youth have no place to run, it is estimated that this
At least half of it will be gone soon."
Ning Yu was secretly glad that he was not an educated youth who came to work.
Qin Hao looked up at the light bulb above his head and asked the question he was most worried about: "Uncle Lin, how do you solve the problem of electricity consumption here?"
Lin Xibai said sternly: "Even though our place seems desolate, in fact the heavy industry in the Northeast is the most developed in the country. Our power grid is directly connected from Heilongjiang, so when you set up a factory, you don't need to worry about electricity.
"
Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as there is electricity, any problem can be easily solved.
After eating and drinking, Qin Hao and his party went back to their rooms to rest. As a result, by the next morning, everyone looked listless.
While brushing his teeth, Ning Yu complained: "The mosquitoes here are too poisonous. They don't look big, but one bite turns into a big mosquito."
Qin Hao was also harassed by mosquitoes last night, and was bitten by several pimples on his body. The most important thing was itching, which caused red marks all over his body.
While eating breakfast, Lin Xibai gave them some advice: "From now on, before you go to bed, get some beef liver wood to fumigate the house. The mosquitoes here are really bad."
Having seen the power of mosquitoes, everyone went to get beef liver wood after breakfast.
Qin Hao asked Lin Xibai to take him around to see where it was more suitable to build a factory.
Along the way, Qin Hao finally understood why his ancestors wanted to develop this barren land in the Great Northern Wilderness.
"Northern Wilderness" is located in the Nenjiang River Basin of Heilongjiang Province, where the Heilongjiang Valley and Sanjiang Plain are located, with the Lesser Khingan Mountains in the north and the Songnen Plain area in the west.
Such a large area of undeveloped plains is the only one in the country. When people still don’t have enough to eat, how many people’s food and clothing can be provided by the plains with a total area of 55,300 square kilometers? Developing "Peking University"
"Famine" has become inevitable.
"This is really fertile land!" Qin Hao stood on the edge of Xiaoxing'an Mountains and looked at the endless plains in front of him with emotion.
Lin Xibai showed a proud look on his face and said with emotion: "Yes, who would have thought that in such a wasteland, a tachyon can sprout if you just insert it."
After a week-long investigation, Qin Hao finally selected the factory site in an area slightly west of the Sanjiang Plain, mainly because it is close to the granary and has relatively complete supporting facilities.
However, the process of going through the formalities was not smooth. Qin Hao went to the development office several times, but he was called back because he had not received specific policies. In the end, Lin Xibai relied on the relationship of an old comrade to help Qin Hao make an appointment.
The director of the Development Office finally got the approval after a drunken banquet.
This drinking session completely knocked Qin Hao out. He considered himself a veteran of the "alcohol battlefield", but it turned out that he was drunk for a whole day and a night before he woke up. Qin Ling almost sent him to the hospital for gastric lavage.
The approval has been obtained, but construction cannot start immediately. The frozen soil has not yet melted, and even an excavator cannot dig it, let alone a hoe.
Out of boredom, Lin Xibai took Qin Hao and his party hunting around. In his words, this was to better prepare for land reclamation, and at the same time, he could also hunt for teeth, so why not do it.
As for the guns, they were all real guns eliminated by the army. There were still a lot of guns in the local area in the 1960s, and the militiamen usually trained with live ammunition.
Qin Hao also saw the deer family known as the "silly roe deer". This thing was really just like the legend, full of curiosity about everything. When other animals heard the gunshot, they ran faster than each other.
Rabbits are fast.
But when the "silly roe deer" heard the gunshot, he stood curiously and looked towards the place where the gunshot was heard. With this time, even a novice like Ning Yu who had never touched a gun had a good record.
In addition to the "silly roe deer", they also hunted sika deer, pheasants, and snowshoe hares, which made Ning Yu and the others so happy that they went hunting almost every two days.
However, the time soon came to the end of April, and the frozen soil became civilized. The entire "Great Northern Wilderness" changed from its previous desolate scene. There were busy people everywhere, including those who opened up wasteland, those who plowed the land, and those who planted rice seedlings. Everyone was there.
Busy against time.
Qin Hao and his party also began to invest in the construction of the factory. Since everyone in the local area was busy farming, Qin Hao could only rely on Lin Xibai's relationship to invite a group of villagers from other places to build the factory. In the next few months, Qin Hao
I almost lived on the construction site.
Qin Hao had made up his mind from the beginning to build this place as a headquarters. The building area should not be too small. Fortunately, the land here was all wasteland. As long as the development office stamped it, it would be allocated to Qin Hao.
.
It took almost five months before the factory was finally put into use. In terms of equipment, Qin Hao still adhered to the principle of saving when he could, obtaining scrap parts from the scrap collection station, and then repaired and assembled them.
What surprised Qin Hao was that the Northeast was indeed the "eldest son", with developed heavy industry, and even the companies that eliminated equipment were very aggressive. Many equipment that could still be used in northern Shaanxi were sent to the scrap recycling station, saving Qin Hao a lot of trouble.
Few things.
After completing the equipment debugging, the recruitment work also began to proceed simultaneously, and Qin Hao left the recruitment work to Zheng Tong and Qin Ling.
Zheng Tong was responsible for recruiting male educated youth, while Qin Ling was responsible for recruiting female educated youth.
The recruitment work went very smoothly. On the day the notice was posted, hundreds of people came to inquire about the situation. However, according to Qin Hao's request, priority was given to recruiting educated youths who had been in Beidahuang for a longer period of time. Many educated youths who had just arrived did not meet the conditions.
Starting from the third day, the recruitment office began to be overcrowded. Qin Hao could only ask Ning Yu to select a group of educated youths who had already been recruited to set up a security department and come to the scene to maintain order, and then he controlled the situation.
The number of people recruited in the first batch was actually not very large, only 1,500, but there were 5,000 people who signed up. Being a worker in a factory these days is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl. The temptation for educated youth is really too great.
Big.
According to the procedures for setting up a factory in northern Shaanxi, the first step is employee training, especially equipment operators, which require certain skills. The skilled workers Qin Hao brought from northern Shaanxi became training teachers. When production begins, they will become workshop directors.
Finally, after a month of training, the factory ushered in its first trial production.
The roar of the electric motor began to resound throughout the workshop, and the educated youth workers excitedly put the processed raw materials into the press.
"It's oily, it's oily!"
"So this is how oil is squeezed out."
The workers looked at this scene with eager eyes. From the pale yellow liquid, they saw hope for the future.
The first batch of soybean oil and peanut oil were produced, canned and sent to the capital before the heavy snow closed the roads. This was also a road that had been laid before in northern Shaanxi, but the production in northern Shaanxi was insufficient and could not meet the demand there.
, the output of the new factory was twice that of northern Shaanxi, and it was immediately covered.
When the first snow falls in November, the entire "Great Northern Wilderness" seems to be sealed, and the snow-capped area is completely desolate.
Time goes by and ten years go by in a blink of an eye.
In the past ten years, Qin Hao's educated youth factory has become the largest supplier of vegetable oil in the north, almost monopolizing half of the northern market.
In particular, the new factory in "Beidahuang" has exceeded the scale of many state-owned factories, which has also aroused a lot of public opinion in society. The nature of the factory for educated youth has once again become the focus of public opinion.
Whether small collective enterprises should exist has become a topic of debate between the two parties. For a while, Qin Hao was also involved in the public opinion storm.
However, Qin Hao did not stop. On the contrary, he opened a third and fourth branch factory in the south and recruited more than 10,000 educated youth workers.
Of course, in addition to expanding the scale, Qin Hao's most important thing is the accumulation of technology. During this special period, many intellectuals were beaten into stinky old nine.
Qin Hao protected them through various channels and relationships and gave them a stable environment so that they could continue their research.
However, Qin Hao also suffered a lot of pressure, especially after "Double 6".
Fortunately, after the most difficult years have passed, there is already talk of opening up.
Qin Hao knew that a great era was coming.
"Director Qin, this is the planned order for this month. Please sign." Zheng Tong had changed his previous arrogant image and became much calmer.
Qin Hao took it, took a look at it, and signed his name: "Well, you can let Director Wu arrange the production. In addition, if you have time, go to the south more often. Our market in the north has become saturated. Next, the south
It is the focus of business growth.”
Hearing this, Zheng Tong said a little depressed: "It's not that I don't care, it's mainly because there are many competitors in the Southern Market and we don't have such a good relationship there. For the same oil, our price is so much lower than others. As a result, the supply and marketing cooperative insists on
Don’t want our oil.”
Zheng Tong felt angry when he mentioned this. After ten years of technological improvement, the Educated Youth Factory has developed a leaching method. Coupled with the low cost of raw materials, it stands to reason that the situation in the southern market should be one-sided, but it just happened.
There are many local markets that cannot be entered.
Qin Hao patted his shoulder: "You can put aside the markets that you really can't enter, gather the sales team together, and focus on those markets that are promising to conquer. Don't go for the horns. It will take a long time to protect such places."
It will be self-defeating."
Zheng Tong didn't understand where Qin Hao's confidence came from, but he had become accustomed to following Qin Hao's arrangements over the years. At least so far, Qin Hao's judgments were correct.
While he was talking, suddenly the phone in Zheng Tong's office rang.
"Hey, oh, do you have my letter? Okay, I'll get it in a moment."
Qin Hao joked: "It's the little wife writing you a letter again. Be careful that Jiang Biyun gives it to you."
It's quite interesting to talk about this. Although Zheng Tong has become a lot more stable over the years, he still has the problem of being dishonest. When he went to Jinhua on a business trip, he met a young widow and flirted with her for a few words.
The little widow wanted to come back with him.
As a result, Zheng Tong escaped that night. As a result, the young widow went to the guest house and used some means. After knowing Zheng Tong's address, she wrote him a letter.
After Jiang Biyun found out, she immediately started a women's singles fight, which made Zheng Tong so embarrassed that she didn't have the nerve to come to work for several days.
"Director Qin, please don't talk nonsense. I have made it clear to the little widow a long time ago." Zheng Tong glanced around with a guilty conscience.
Qin Hao smiled and scolded: "Okay, let's go together. I also have a letter. Let's get it together."
"It belongs to Zhou Xiaobai, right? Director Qin is tall, really tall." Zheng Tong felt envious in his heart. He had Qin Ling on one side and Zhou Xiaobai on the other. As a result, after so many years, the two of them seemed to be in peace.
"roll."
When they arrived at the guard room, they found it was indeed a letter from Zhou Xiaobai. When Zheng Tong saw the envelope, his face suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong? Is it really a little widow?"
Zheng Tong shook his head gently: "It was sent by Zhong Yuemin."
Then he tore the letter into pieces and threw them into the trash can.
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment. The name Zhong Yuemin had not appeared in his ears for a long time. Counting the time, this boy should still be a soldier, right?
