Chapter 450: A Fire in Winter

"Why did you think about farming? Are you investing in this to make all the people in your hometown rich?"

Huang Yan didn't quite understand her husband's sudden decision to start an agricultural company. Zhang Chu didn't tell Huang Yan when he planned with Jiang Jing before, so she didn't know very well.

However, this does not prevent Huang Yan from thinking of her husband more noblely, such as getting rich and not forgetting his roots, the young boss Nanfang went home to engage in agriculture after starting a business and making money, and led the villagers to get rich together. This kind of thing appears in the newspaper from time to time, and my husband may be affected.

"This is one reason, in addition, Jiang Jing is a leader over there, doesn't he want to make some political achievements? So I started this company, and by the way, we also earned some money to support the work of my father-in-law. ”

Zhang Chu didn't tell his wife the truth, Jiang Jing is Huang Yan's cousin, and because of his father-in-law, what he said was just one-sided.

Zhang Chu never doubted whether agriculture had a future. People who say that they can't make money from agriculture are basically farmers, because this is a vulnerable group. They stand at the bottom end of the whole link, and they don't have the final say except for their work, and it's not their turn to call the shots.

If agriculture doesn't make money, how can there be so much money in the future. In agriculture, neither end of the road makes much money, and the real profits lie in the hands of the channels and those enterprises.

They depress the purchase price at the starting point and raise the selling price at the terminal to make more profits. Zhang Chu now holds the starting point, the channel, and the terminal, all of which are in his own hands, and it is not difficult to make money.

But only by doing so can the entire chain make money, and making money is the key. Although the government has all kinds of support, that little money is not enough for Zhang Chu's appetite, and he wants more than that.

The people took food as their life, and later with those leaders, they turned the good arable land into wasteland, and then turned the wasteland into commercial housing land. There are more and more high-rise buildings and concrete roads in the city, and the area of arable land is getting smaller and smaller.

On the other hand, as more and more people from rural areas flock to cities, more and more people from cities, fewer people from rural areas, and fewer and fewer people who farm land, the importance of agriculture becomes stronger and stronger.

People always have to eat, and food and crops are indispensable. There is less and less arable land, and there are fewer and fewer people who cultivate the land, so can we meet the demand by importing alone? Therefore, we will not make less money in agriculture than in other fields.

The price of vegetables, grains, melons and fruits is rising every year, and it is not difficult to control the source of resources and have your own channels, so you will naturally have the right to speak in this regard in the future, and you want to obtain your own interests.

As for what creates conditions for the people in his hometown to get rich, and what helps Jiang Jing make political achievements, these are all scene words, just for others to hear. Zhang Chu's fundamental purpose is to make money, and if he doesn't make money, let him engage in charity, it depends on his mood.

"This is Professor Wu, he has several research projects in his hands now, which can be compatible with your breeding and planting industry. This is Zhang Chu, my high school classmate, he is now going to engage in planting and breeding in his hometown, and he needs some technical talents, so I will bring him over to meet you. ”

Professor Wu was younger than Zhang Chu imagined, about sixty years old. After Jiang Jing introduced him on the side, Professor Wu glanced at Zhang Chu, and the expression on his face was a little puzzled. Because Zhang Chu is too young, I don't know how this guy can be interested in these.

In agriculture, there is not a lot of investment in order to produce results. The Zhang Chu in front of him didn't know which rich kid he was, or he just came over to play, which was a little suspicious for Professor Wu.

"Hello Professor Wu!"

Zhang Chu didn't have much reaction, no matter whether Professor Wu was young or old, as long as he had real ability, Zhang Chu was still willing to come with him in this cooperation. What he needs is talent, and his age has nothing to do with his academic qualifications.

"Let's go and see some of the results on my side first, there are results, it's easier to talk. But it also takes a lot of money, and it takes time, you know, that's what research is. ”

Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Professor Wu was not dissatisfied with the face introduced by Jiang Jing. Instead, he directly planned to take Zhang Chu to his research center to see, they have a small breeding and planting base of their own.

However, he had to say some things in front, because he didn't trust Zhang Chu very much. All kinds of supporting facilities here are well prepared, in addition, there are some traditional domestic agricultural seeds reserved and researched here.

After Zhang Chu looked around, he immediately agreed, and then showed Professor Wu the contract he had prepared. Shonan Agriculture hired his research team as a technical guide to provide how much money is provided for various research each year.

On the other hand, Zhang Chu is provided with various technical supports, with new research and development achievements, and priority is given to the agricultural side of southern Hunan. Professor Wu didn't expect Zhang Chu to agree so quickly, Zhang Chu was stunned after taking out the contract, he didn't promise Zhang Chu so quickly, he had to think about it.

Zhang Chu didn't leave much time for Professor Wu to think about it, because he was going to start after the Chinese New Year. The breeding base on the other side of the big reservoir needs people to work under the guidance of people, otherwise it will have to stop.

As for the funds, there is no shortage here at all. Not only Zhang Chu's funds are in place, but the funds of the fellow townsmen association are all in place quickly, and they are waiting to start. So he simply stayed in the provincial capital and waited for Professor Wu to sign the contract.

Jiang Jing left the provincial capital after introducing Professor Wu to Zhang Chu, and he is also busy now. The first fire he wants to burn has already been burned, and the ideological work with Zhangjiawan has been done, and this side has now begun to sort it out.

After the late rice was harvested, the development model of cultivating farmland and investing in shares began vigorously. With Zhang Yong as the mainstay, all the families in Zhangjiawan invested in cultivated land and capital to establish Zhangjiawan Agricultural Cooperative Company.

All the paddy fields in Zhangjiawan are now pushed away from the top layer of fertile mud, and the ground below is bulldozed and then integrated into a large area. Because of the more mechanized operation, many things are much easier to do than with manpower.

The embankments along the river were all renovated, taller and stronger. A cement road is also added to it, which can not only better prevent flooding, but also facilitate the transportation of grain after harvesting in the future.

In this way, the original cultivated land in Zhangjiawan has been increased by dozens of acres because of this whole. The wasteland along the river is now all farmland. Water conservancy and other supporting facilities are also arranged in place.
