"Great, found it so quickly?"
Wei Kang was immediately overjoyed. He was about to ask about the progress of the organic farm, but Lao Sun had already done it.
"There are many mountainous areas suitable for farming, but it is not easy to find one that meets the requirements. I also know some old friends. I heard that Sanqing was going to build an organic farm, and they all helped to find it, so I found it so quickly."
Sun Chengren opened the document and explained it carefully to Wei Kang.
"I also looked for some places in other cities in this province, but none of them were suitable."
"Its biggest advantage is its proximity. It is just 20 kilometers west of the industrial zone. There is a suitable mountainous land, about 300 acres, right next to the national highway. The transportation is convenient and there is a water source next to it."
"A boss used to build a pig farm there. Later, he lost too much money due to swine fever and closed it down. The original site is still there."
"Mountain land is inherently worthless, and few farmers can lease such a large piece of land for a long time."
"I have contacted the local village committee and asked powerful large companies to develop it. They are very much looking for it and are willing to provide various conveniences. With the favorable national policies, there should be no problem in this regard."
"Local farmers are relatively simple and have a good impression of Sanqing. They are unlikely to cause damage."
"Let's talk about the breeding industry. The main problem is disease. As long as this is solved, it will be relatively easy to deal with in general."
Wei Kang looked at the map and felt very satisfied.
This mountainous area is not very high, only a few tens of meters tall. It has two hills, one large and one small. The entire mountain is in the shape of a half-moon, surrounding a spacious flat land in the middle.
If all were taken over, pig houses and research centers could be built on the flat land at the foot of the mountain, chicken sheds could be built on the hillsides to raise free-range chickens, and other animals used for scientific research could be raised on the mountains.
It is also close to Sanqingyuan. It takes more than 20 minutes to drive along the national highway, which is very convenient.
"Then let's do it. We will go on a field trip in the afternoon and if everything is OK, we will make a decision as soon as possible."
Sun Chengren nodded slightly: "Okay, I will make an appointment with the village committee. There is an old pig farm site on this flat land, and it is not abandoned. I think it can be repaired and used first, and then we can move after the new pig house next to it is repaired. .”
Wei Kang agreed: "You should be thoughtful. Anyway, the scale should not be too big at the beginning. Just start with a small pig farm. I asked Huang Qin to contact New Hope and order about 30 pigs."
"As for chickens, let's set the goal at 100. Buy a batch of three-yellow chickens, and then ask the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for some new varieties of white-feathered chickens that are disease-resistant and food-saving. We can raise them organically and do research on breeding at the same time. That's pretty much it."
"We will slowly expand after we have achieved results in the future, but generally speaking, we will only maintain the scale of a medium-sized farm at most, and it will not be too big. Because the main thing is to combine scientific research and breeding, not to do commercialization. Large breeding farms.”
"As for the feeding methods, we try to use technological means as much as possible. Isn't there intelligent breeding now? Buy a batch of automated breeding equipment and turn the pig houses and chicken houses into intelligent breeding centers. This will undoubtedly save a lot of manpower."
"If we recruit people later, we can hire fewer people and pay them higher."
"Okay, that's no problem. Leave it all to me. I'm also from the countryside. Can I still handle raising pigs and chickens?"
Sun Chengren smiled confidently and looked very interested.
Ever since he talked about starting an organic farm, the DNA in his bones has been moving, and he has been extremely active in doing things. His energy is comparable to that of a middle-aged man obsessed with fishing.
That afternoon, the two drove to the local area and received a warm welcome from the village committee.
After a visit, Wei Kang was even more satisfied and made his decision immediately.
The mountains and forests here are lush and the prices are reasonable. Although the pig farms at the foot of the mountains have been cleared out, there is still one building and several pig houses that can be put into use immediately after repairs.
Once everyone is ready and the piglets and chickens are in place, the business can be officially opened.

Xie Hui stood at the intersection and looked at the simple road sign in front of him, which read "Sanqing Farm Enters Here", and then he was sure that he was not going the wrong way.
Following the direction of the arrow on the road sign and walking for more than 100 meters on the road, you will see a newly built gate with a very eye-catching "Sanqing Farm" gilded sign on it.
He quickened his pace and walked in. A three-story building came into view, with a parking lot on the left and several low bungalows not far away on the right.
"This is probably an office building. There are no people around, and it looks a bit deserted."
Xie Hui muttered in his heart and began to look for a place where new employees would report.
He is a college student from a nearby village. In a place like Jiangsu Province where the college entrance examination is so difficult, he managed to get into a 985 university. Even the adjustment major at Huaxia Agricultural University, he had to go to school.
But I never expected that because the "Ecological Intelligent Breeding" major I studied was very unpopular, the employment situation was bleak, and I couldn't find a suitable accepting unit even after I graduated.
His parents didn't understand this at first. They just thought it was great to pass the 985 exam. It wasn't until he started looking for a job that they began to worry about his future.
As a child from rural areas, Xie Hui is no stranger to agriculture and breeding. On the contrary, he is very interested in it. After entering university, his grades were very good. His original plan was that if he could not find a good job, he would apply for the college student village officer position and promote Rural economic development.
However, during the Chinese New Year, he was a little excited when he heard from his parents that the famous Sanqing Group was going to open an organic farm nearby.
After all, it is a big company, with notoriously good welfare benefits and a lot of money. It is also very close to home and you can walk to work in 20 minutes. This is much better than going to a remote rural area to engage in rural construction.
His parents were also very supportive of his idea. After finally finding out that Sanqing Farm was recruiting people, they immediately signed him up.
When Xie Hui rushed back for the interview, even Sun Chengren was shocked.
At first, Lao Sun only wanted to recruit college students who knew a little bit about technology and could operate the equipment. After all, they were purchased automated machines, which were a bit difficult for ordinary farmers to operate. College students are cheap and smart, so they are very suitable for doing something that has a certain threshold but does not have high technical content. Too high a job.
However, after seeing Xie Hui's resume, he had some new ideas.
Especially during the interview, Xie Huiren was very smart, and his knowledge accumulation and ability in animal breeding were outstanding. He also had his own unique views on intelligent breeding and environmental protection. He immediately became interested in talents and wanted to work hard. nourish.
After Xie Hui was admitted, the whole family was very happy. The salary was 8,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan a year, and there was also a performance bonus. It was a big company, he was professionally qualified, and the benefits were generous, so he didn't need 996.
Having more money, less things to do, and being close to home has all three options covered, which is simply a blessing.
Xie Hui had not been to the newly built farm yet. After searching for a while, he found Lao Sun's office.
Lao Sun was very enthusiastic when he saw him: "Xiao Xie, you came just in time. It must have been smooth when you came here."
Xie Hui smiled shyly: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your concern. This place is quite close to my home. It only takes 20 minutes to walk here."
Lao Sun nodded: "That's good. You can usually walk to and from get off work. Just treat it as exercise."
"Come, let me show you around. The equipment is basically complete. Piglets and chickens are also being delivered today."
"Is this the automated breeding equipment you're talking about?" Xie Hui suddenly became excited.
He chose the farm in Sanqing not only because the big company offered more money, but also because the farm’s construction philosophy fit him very well. It paid great attention to environmental protection and also took into account intelligence, which is the future development direction of the farm.
After all, they are young people, full of enthusiasm, have seen the world, are full of enthusiasm for work, want to realize their ambitions, and have the dream of changing the process of science and technology and promoting social development.
When he came to the brand-new pig house and looked at the shiny new fully automated breeding equipment, Xie Hui was stunned.
"As expected of Sanqing, he is indeed rich and powerful!"
"This is an intelligent feeding equipment with intelligent dry and wet feed troughs that can provide feed with suitable taste for pigs of different ages."
"This is environmental control equipment, including air purifiers, air conditioners, and humidifiers. It can regulate the heating, temperature control, ventilation and air quality of the pig house. It can be warm in winter and cool in summer, maintain air circulation inside the pig house, and reduce the concentration of harmful gases. .”
"This is an automatic feeding system that can transport feed from the feed tank to the pig house, ensuring that each pig has a feed level and can eat and drink enough. It replaces the traditional manual feeding mode, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and improves the efficiency of the pig farm. Productivity."
"There is also stall equipment, which can be divided into stalls according to the growth stage and gender of the pigs."
"This is an automatic manure cleaning system in a pig farm. The floors are hollow. After the pig manure is trampled, it automatically flows into the compartment below through the gap. The machine automatically operates and collects it into the manure storage tank. It is fermented to produce biogas, which can realize the farm's Energy supply. The entire system is controlled according to time and operates fully automatically to achieve unmanned management."
"In addition to this, there are cleaning and disinfection equipment, piglet transport vehicles, etc."
"The entire farm is also equipped with dense cameras, which can remotely monitor the pig houses, supervise them in a timely manner, and understand the situation of the pig houses and the information of the pigs in real time."
Xie Hui touched these silver stainless steel machines and saw that the smart farm described by the teacher was completely realized in front of his eyes. A flush suddenly appeared on his face and he couldn't help but sigh.
"This is a truly modern pig farm. It is fully intelligent. Through the office computer or even the app on your mobile phone, you can complete feed feeding, water supply, pig house humidification, temperature adjustment, air purification and pig manure cleaning. . This greatly frees up manpower and improves work efficiency.”
Sun Chengren smiled and said: "Yes, although the equipment is a bit expensive, in the long run, it is still worth it."
"Our farms are fully automated, with very few manpower and high efficiency, so we can pay everyone relatively high."
"To make good use of this complete set of intelligent equipment, you need smart and capable college students to use it. The farmers in the village have rich experience in raising pigs, but they are not good at using these equipment."
Xie Hui nodded, suddenly enlightened, and finally understood a little bit, and at the same time he also deeply believed it.
"By the way, there is also a set of fully automated slaughtering equipment. It is not needed now. When the pigs are almost ready for slaughter, they can be slaughtered intensively."
Sun Chengren added: "That's pretty much it for the pig farm. Let's go check out the chicken shed."
The chicken shed is at the foot of the mountain at the other end. Although it does not have as many equipment as the pig house, it is very clean and tidy. It is divided into dozens of small grids with iron bars. It has an intelligent monitoring system, feeding system, temperature control ventilation system, and Automated cleaning equipment.
"Why is there no cage here?" Xie Hui asked curiously.
"No, we are all free-range chickens. Each chicken has an electronic chip, and their location and physical condition can be monitored directly on the computer."
"We have fenced a piece of land on the mountain. We will let the chickens out during the day, and they will automatically return to their nests in the evening."
Xie Hui nodded. Free-range chickens are indeed very organic. If there is a chip monitoring, they are not afraid of losing them, and the meat is also firm.
Thinking of the tender and delicious free-range chicken, he seemed to smell an alluring aroma on the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but swallow.
"In this way, the workload is really not big. In addition to preparing feed and daily monitoring, it is basically machine operation."
Xie Hui thought to himself, suddenly feeling that the workload was a bit unworthy of his high salary.
After all, the salary of student farmers is really low. Except for first-tier cities, the jobs his classmates are looking for rarely pay more than 5,000 yuan. There are a lot of 3,000 yuan jobs, and 8,000 yuan is simply a lot in second-tier cities. It's pie in the sky.
"Haha, Xiao Xie, in fact, your job is not mainly about operating machines, but about feed preparation and animal breeding. The feed must be organic and pollution-free, free of hormones and antibiotics, rich in nutrients and balanced, and promote the growth and development of animals. , and we also need to cooperate with some scientific researchers to carry out training and breeding.”
Sun Chengren took Xie Hui back to the office building and said: "There are offices, conference rooms, canteens and warehouses on the first floor. After the second floor is the animal breeding laboratory, and there will be scientific researchers from Sanqing over there to do some research. The building is a reference room and dormitory.”
"That's about it. Because there are relatively few people, I found a farmer in the village and will deliver three meals a day. But your home is close, so you don't need to live here."
"Well, I still have some work to do. You should familiarize yourself with the environment. Dinner will be served at twelve noon. Remember to go to the canteen at that time."
Xie Hui nodded, showed a cute smile, and said, "Okay, I'll look around first."
He walked out the door in a hurry, feeling very happy in his heart.
This job is really good, the salary is high, food and accommodation are included, and five social insurances and one housing fund are paid. For graduates who majored in agriculture, it is really hard to find even a lantern.
"I must work hard and realize my agricultural ideals here."
Xie Hui secretly cheered himself up, and his morale was instantly high. He walked around the entire farm again and became familiar with the surrounding environment. He saw that it was almost time for dinner before returning to the office building.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, there were only a few people sitting there. Except for him and Sun Chengren, almost all of them were villagers in their thirties or forties, and they looked familiar.
Before Xie Hui could react, five or six people came over with smiles and greeted enthusiastically: "You are the little boy of the Xie family. I heard you are a college student from a prestigious university. You seem to be in good spirits." .”
“In the future, with this farm, everyone will work together.”
"You came here in the morning, right? We don't work until the afternoon. We were told that we would include lunch, so we came early."
Amidst the crowd's chatter, he finally understood that these people were all villagers from the same village as him, and had been recruited as security guards, drivers and operators.
So he quickly squeezed out a smile, nodded and said, "Hello, uncle."
After chatting for a while, a tall, dark-skinned village woman came in carrying a box of lunch.
The lunch box is very rich, with two meat and two vegetarian dishes, soup and fruit. It is generous and delicious.
Everyone was from the village. They looked up without looking down. After saying hello, they started to eat happily.
Xie Hui thought as he ate, no wonder the village committee welcomes Sanqing to develop the farm. It not only brings economic benefits, but also creates employment. From college students like himself to left-behind villagers, everyone can find suitable jobs.
After eating, he took a lunch break and was taken to the feed room by Sun Chengren.
"How do you think about the feed in the warehouse? Is there anything that needs to be improved? You are more professional. From now on, you will be responsible for the purchase and deployment of feed." Sun Chengren waved his hand and said with an expression on his face. He took off a burden and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is very interested in the farm, he is not a professional and has little patience for these trivial matters. It is a dream to leave everything to Xie Hui.
Xie Hui took a rough look and said: "It's all okay, it's enough. There are concentrate feed, roughage, and nutritional supplements. I'll mix it up carefully, and the piglets should be able to eat it when they arrive in the afternoon."
"But it seems that there are no additives such as antibiotics. I'm afraid we need to take precautions against diseases."
After reading it, he said with some worry: "What farmers are most afraid of are diseases such as swine fever and avian influenza. Although we do not add antibiotics and hormones, we still need basic medicines."
Sun Chengren chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this. Our aim is to use as little as possible, not completely. Antibiotics are absolutely prohibited, but other insecticides, vaccines and the like can be used."
"As for swine fever and bird flu, you don't have to worry. The piglets and chickens we bought this time are all genetically modified and have disease-resistant genes. The chance of getting sick will be greatly reduced. Of course, what are the problems with the specific breeding process? You can also report it to the scientific researchers in the animal laboratory and solve it together."
"Huh? Genetically modified animals?"
"Is it so high-end?" Xie Hui was shocked again.
He had a vague feeling that this was more than just an automated organic farm.
I'm afraid there is something extraordinary waiting for me.
