Hearing the phone ringing on Zhou Yang's desk, Qiao Weiguo immediately stood up and said, "You go ahead, I'll go to the school to find Principal Wang first!"
"Okay, if anything happens, let's talk about it later!"
"OK!"
After saying that, Qiao Weiguo left Zhou Yang's office directly!
Zhou Yang immediately picked up the phone and asked: "Who is it?"
"Director, Director Li Changqing from Yunshan County wants to talk to you on the phone. Do you have time to answer the call?"
"Come in!"
"yes!"
Soon, the call was answered, and Li Changqing's voice came from the phone: "Oh, I finally got through. It's really hard to talk to you on the phone!"
Zhou Yang immediately said with a smile: "That's the rule from above, I can't help it, Lao Li, just bear with it!"
"Hahaha, this is the only way!"
"Why did you remember to call me today? Is there something wrong?" Zhou Yang said.
"Indeed, let's get down to business first. The factory we jointly run will start construction in a few days. Do you want to attend the groundbreaking ceremony?"
"Has the venue and everything been taken care of?"
"Yes, it's done. We can start construction when the weather warms up. It is expected to be completed around September this year!" Li Changqing said.
"Yes, this way we can almost put it into production before the end of the year!" Zhou Yang said.
"If everything goes well, almost!" Li Changqing said.
"I won't go to the foundation laying ceremony. You also know my identity. It's not convenient to go there, but I will ask the village to send a few representatives there!" Zhou Yang said.
"also!"
Then Li Changqing said again: "By the way, you said last year that you could help our factory buy back the production equipment. Can this matter be put on the agenda?"
"Okay, then I'll go back and contact the capital so that they can negotiate with the island country, but before that we have to prepare the funds!" Zhou Yang said.
"It's ready. You can send it over at any time if needed!" Li Changqing said.
"Okay, leave this to me!"
"Okay, I also want to ask, what should we plant this year!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Lao Li, you think I'm a god. You have to ask me what you're going to plant?"
"Hahaha, our county listened to your suggestion last year, but it escaped disaster. Now we have spring plowing again this year. I want to hear your thoughts!" Li Changqing said with a smile.
“I don’t have any ideas this year, I just plant whatever I need to plant!”
Before the winter of 1977, it was a rare good year. It could be said that the weather was smooth and you would reap what you sow.
But things are different in winter. A regional cold wave breaks out in most of the north, and the situation is very serious. But this does not affect agricultural production in the first half of the year.
"You really don't have any suggestions?"
"It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. There were so many heavy snowfalls last winter. This year, whether it is rain or other aspects, it will definitely be good. No matter what you plant, you will have a good harvest!"
However, Zhou Yang's voice suddenly changed and he said again: "But if I want to talk about suggestions, I have some suggestions..."
"What's your suggestion?" Li Changqing said impatiently.
"The first suggestion is to plant less refined grains and more corn, beetroot and yam eggs. The reason is that after our ham sausage factory is built, it will consume a lot of pork and yam powder. If we use more of these, we can raise a large number of pigs. The income will definitely be better than simply growing wheat and oats!"
"anything else?"
“The second suggestion is to continue to encourage various communes and production teams to raise pigs and chickens, and vigorously develop the breeding industry, but do not ignore the planting industry. When necessary, the county government can come forward to purchase some from surrounding counties and cities. Fine grain!" Zhou Yang said.
"Is there any more?"
"Yes, continue to increase the intensity of rodent control. The destructive power of that thing is too great. If you are not careful, it will cause another hemorrhagic fever epidemic!"
"Understood!"
Then Li Changqing said again: "Now that we've finished talking about the business, let's talk about some other things. Do you have time over there?"
"I have time, but I'm a little curious. What kind of gossip do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"We are not outsiders, so let me tell you the truth. I just want to ask, is it better for Yunlong to stay in your company, or does he have a better future by transferring to a local job?" Li Changqing asked seriously.
"What, you want Yunlong to be professional?"
"Well, I have this idea. There will be a lot of vacancies in the county in the first half year. With Yunlong's qualifications, it won't be a problem to become a department-level cadre after changing jobs..."
"Stop it..."
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Old Li, if you can trust me, don't even think about letting Yunlong transfer to another place."
In fact, Zhou Yang also understood what Li Changqing meant. As a daughter like Li Qian, he naturally regarded Liu Yunlong as his true son.
In his opinion, if Liu Yunlong's professionalism reaches the local level, with his help, he should be able to reach the level of county leaders.
But Zhou Yang knew that Yunshan County's platform was still too small. Even with Li Changqing's help, Liu Yunlong would only be a county-level leader in his life.
But if you stay in the institute, it will be different.
You know, the worst first-level research institutes are division-level units, which are on the same level as Yunshan County.
Judging from the situation of the Babaoliang Research Institute, it is obvious that the county level cannot be the limit, and even the department level is not necessarily the limit.
For example, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, which is integrated based on Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, is a proper deputy ministerial level unit. The potential of Babaoliang Research Institute is obviously no worse than that of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.
One is a county-level unit, while the other is a department-level or even deputy-ministerial unit. There is no need to worry about which one has a future!
Li Changqing was obviously an understanding person. He did not continue to ask questions, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't ask Yunlong, and let him continue to follow you!"
"Have you not asked Yunlong yet?"
"No, I think it's better to ask you about this first!"
Then Li Changqing said again: "By the way, what do your father-in-law think?"
"What's wrong?"
"A pretty good position became available in the county two days ago. Everyone thought he was quite suitable, but when the Organization Department asked for his opinion, he decisively refused!" Li Changqing said.
"If he doesn't want to go, then he won't go. Besides, my father has just been promoted to commune director for less than a year. If he is promoted again, it will affect..."
"It's not promotion, it's promotion!"
"I'll ask him about this later and see what he thinks!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
"Our groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April 5th. The location is next to the Chengnan Meat Factory. If representatives from your village come, ask them to meet us at the county committee in advance. I will take them there myself!" Li Changqing road.
"OK!"
"Then you go about your business first, I won't disturb you..."
After saying that, Li Changqing hung up the phone!
After putting down the phone, Zhou Yang thought for a moment. The ham sausage factory was about to start construction, which meant that Yunshan County and Babaoliang Village were about to take off.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang picked up the phone and dialed a number directly!
"Dudu..."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Lao Lu, it's me, Zhou Yang!"
Lu Zhengjun was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "I was just thinking about whether to call you, and you called me right away. We really have a tacit understanding!"
"Haha, it seems I made the call at the right time?"
"It's time... of course it's time!"
Then Lu Zhengjun said again: "By the way, why did you call me?"
"Didn't I ask you to help me understand the situation of ham sausage production equipment last year? Now Yunshan County is preparing to officially import a set. Is there any problem?" Zhou Yang said.
"No problem. If you need it, I can put it in the recent import list for you, and then we can negotiate with the island country!"
"Then I'll bother you with this. We've already prepared the money!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, I'll say hello to the minister later!"
"Thanks!"
"It's a small matter, why should we be polite between us?"
Although Lu Zhengjun said it lightly, Zhou Yang knew how difficult it was to import equipment from abroad these days.
Especially in local areas, this is not just about having money.
Not only do local upper levels need to report to higher-level departments, but after review by planning committees at all levels, they are reported to the National Planning Commission, and only after final review are they reported to the Ministry of Commerce.
The whole process will take less than a year and a half to complete, and you have to queue up when you get to the Ministry of Commerce, so many projects these days take several years to complete.
It's not as simple as them, just say something.
"I won't say thank you. I want to ask Lao Yan how the situation is over there?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengjun immediately whispered: "Wait a moment, I will close the window!"
Then, there was a "rustling" sound on Zhou Yang's phone...
