Chapter Seventy-Five: A Big Shot Arrived
Liang Sanping is telling the truth, and it's also what he thinks in his heart. If one doesn't have this ability, then it's not bad to wholeheartedly focus on one subject and follow Professor Liu step by step.
But now he has this ability. He can make more people live a better life. Why not do it?! Afraid of responsibility?! Liang Sanping has never been afraid of that.
If he was afraid of this, he would not have done so on the battlefield. After coming to the farm, Liang Sanping had also clashed with others over issues of principle.
Stealing glue to sell, Liang Sanping has never compromised. If there's a problem, you can discuss it with him. He'll try his best to help you solve it, even if he needs to step in and plead for you.
But he resolutely put a stop to this kind of behavior of stealing and selling glue. Because of this matter, he was once organized by someone with a group of people who smashed into his home in the middle of the night saying they wanted to beat him to death.
If it weren't for the old sister and her husband next door holding him back tightly, Liang Sanping would have rushed out with his chopping knife.
It's also because of his persistence that Liang Sanping has never been promoted. During the New Year, everyone goes to their leaders' homes to pay respects and socialize.
Liang Sanping only spent time with a few close subordinates and had meals with some old friends and fellow villagers. He didn't go to visit any leaders.
He then stayed in the position of district director for over a decade. Whichever district was unstable, whichever district had many conflicts, he would be transferred to that district to take charge and resolve the issues.
Until he was about to retire, he was appreciated by a leader and transferred to the field department. Unfortunately, Lian Po was already old at that time. It was only three to five years later that Liang Sanping would retire.
He is a capable person, despite having held countless positions. He has managed land and served as the head of the business department, but in the end, he still couldn't get promoted. Age is a fatal line.
However, Liang Sanping did not mind much. He had fought battles and managed hundreds of people in his lifetime. He had also managed valuable land and the Department of Engineering.
Liang Sanping felt that he was enough. What else did he need?! His son was already able to stand on his own at the time and could earn tens of thousands of yuan per month working independently in Guangdong's Jiangkou without relying on Liang Sanping.
Although it was a headache for Old Liang that he didn't get married until his thirties, he finally did. His wife had a bad temper, but she wasn't a bad person.
"With great power comes great responsibility. This phrase used to make Liang Sanping laugh, but now he can't muster a smile. Because he has truly discovered that if he doesn't use his abilities to do things within his power to help others..."
But I couldn't calm down myself.
Maybe others can come over and make a fortune with peace of mind. They can drive luxury cars, earn big money, drink good wine and watch the clouds with ease. Liang Sanping smiled bitterly in his heart, unfortunately, he couldn't do it himself.
After a night's rest, Liang Sanping began to accompany Yang Zao and Han Chun to inspect the entire Baiting area. The main inspection target was the five-legged pig in the Baiting area.
Wuzhao pig, a small breed of pig that is native to the Baoting area of Hainan Island. Why is it called "five-legged pig"? Does it really have five legs?
Actually, this kind of pig has always been raised in a free-range way in rural areas. This kind of pig likes to dig open the land and forage in the wild. Its mouth is sharp and long, usually using its mouth to dig soil and forage, never leaving the soil.
It is called "five-legged pig" locally. Yang Zao was very interested in this breed of pig that had never undergone breeding improvement.
On the same day, Liang Sanping even bought a pig from local villagers and slaughtered it to entertain Yang Zao and Han Chun's group.
"Comrade Xiao Liang, this is too extravagant! We are here to conduct research and only need ordinary hospitality. There's no need to slaughter a whole pig."
Looking at the table full of pork, Yang seemed very unhappy. He thought to himself that he was just an ordinary researcher. So, according to the usual reception method, it would be enough to eat casually in the cafeteria. Eat meat? ! That's too luxurious.
"Haha... Teacher, you misunderstood! Even if you didn't come, we would still have to kill the pig!" Liang Sanping smiled and said: "This time our vegetable trade with Japan has ended. The remaining balance is at least one million US dollars."
"So, the special approval of our payment is considered a reward. We were also planning to give a reward to our canteen staff, but I didn't come back. So everyone thinks we should wait for me to return before killing the pig to celebrate."
After a pause, Liang Sanping smiled and said: "You two just happened to be here, and I also want you two to try this pork. Take a look at the quality of this pork. Only if you two try it will you know what its quality is like!"
"If it's a pig killing, why can only we be seen eating?! What about others?!" Han Chun wasn't one to easily believe people, yet he saw him ask Liang Sanping again.
As for Han Chun's question, Liang Sanping didn't mind. He smiled and said: "After we slaughtered the pigs, the pork was distributed to the employees. What everyone is eating now is my share."
"I was at Jianghai Farm, with only one relative. It was my older brother, and he happened to be working in the vegetable field too. So he also had a share. And I'm just a single man, how much can I eat?! So I asked several friends to help out, cooked some dishes and invited everyone to eat."
This explanation was finally accepted by Yang Zao and his wife, while Liang Sanping just smiled and said nothing. Since he knew Yang Zao and Han Chun's couple, he naturally knew their habits and thoughts.
These two have always been unwilling to be treated as special personnel, when they were transferred to the Translation Bureau. They could have enjoyed a better life and better treatment.
However, the two were determined to file a report and asked to return to the farm to continue their breeding business.
Later, with their increasing contributions to animal husbandry, the couple was highly valued by the state. Even in the imperial capital, a special house was assigned to them.
The couple had never been apart. They had always lived in the small yard on the farm, no matter how broken and old it was.
The desk leg is broken, use a brick to prop it up and continue using it. The clothes are torn, the old man finds some old clothes and sews them up himself to continue wearing.
They don't care about material enjoyment, what they care more about is their own work.
"Hmm... this breed of pork is indeed delicious! The meat is firm, tender and refreshing, with a fragrant flavor that doesn't get tired even after eating more." Yang said in praise after taking a bite of the five-clawed pig's meat.
"But there's a huge problem, this pig grows too slowly. The results of our investigation today show that this breed has not been improved. The annual yield is only about 100 kilograms. If we supply the market with this, won't it be too low?!"
Liang Sanping smiled and picked up a piece of meat, putting it in his mouth to chew. Delicious! Finally got to eat five-legged pig. Although in his previous life, Liang Sanping hadn't eaten less five-legged pig either.
But this is one of the few times in his life that he has eaten such pork. This pork doesn't have any strong smell at all. On the contrary, it's very refreshing to eat. Even if you're eating fatty meat, you won't feel greasy, but instead, you'll find it crispy and refreshing.
"Our pigs indeed have this problem at the moment. However, I think there's no need to improve it for the sake of their meat quality. On the contrary, not improving them can be a selling point for our product."
But then Liang Sanping smiled and said, "The improved pigs will indeed increase meat production. But at the same time, the quality of the meat will definitely decrease. And some areas have high requirements for meat quality. They are the people we need to supply."
"Of course, because our production costs are high and the quality of meat is high. So our selling price will definitely not be cheap." But then Liang Sanping smiled and said: "And in this regard, I have already found a collaborator!"
At this time, however, a man walked in from outside. From far away, he smiled at Liang Sanping and said: "Mr. Liang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Mr. Jiang! Sorry, sorry! I really had something on my hands, that's why I kept you waiting for so long..." Liang Sanping stood up and smiled as he shook the newcomer's hand.
Jiang Li, captain of the Boat King's ship. And now he has another identity, the Boat King's special envoy.
Qiong Island vegetables are a hot seller in Japan, and have also caught the attention of the shipping magnate. Since it's a business opportunity, and he has the convenience of sea transportation, the shipping magnate naturally wants to get a share of it.
But if Ship King intervenes, many of Liang Sanping's plans cannot be realized. So Liang Sanping let Ye Jianwen stabilize Ship King, while assuring them that there are other profitable businesses on the island.
He also conveyed his disposal plan for Wan Hong Corporation to Chuan Wang through some channels, which made Chuan Wang stop the idea of getting involved in the vegetable business.
Jiang Li, who had dealings with Liang Sanping and was also the proposer of this plan, naturally led the team to come to Qiong Island to wait for Liang Sanping's negotiation.
"It's all right! It's all right, you can come back to see us. That's great!" Jiang Li laughed and waved his hand. Then, Liang Sanping introduced Yang Zao and Han Chun to Jiang Li.
The two old experts and other staff members all shook hands with Jiang Li.
"Mr. Jiang, what I'm saying is that our cooperation is right on this plate." Liang Sanping smiled and picked up a piece of pork and put it in Jiang Li's bowl.
"Qiong Island Baoting area's one and only unimproved pig breed - the five-legged pig!" But then Liang Sanping smiled and said: "You can try its meat quality, then let your team judge. If it's promoted well, how much do you think this kind of meat can sell for in Xiangjiang?"
Jiang Li took a bite and couldn't help but brighten up! The texture of this meat is indeed much better than the pork sold in Xiangjiang, not just by a little.
The pork in Heung Kong now is mostly produced in the northern part of Guangdong Province. A small amount of live pigs are from Xiangxi and slaughtered after being transported to Heung Kong. However, the quality of these pork cannot be compared with that of this kind of pork.
Because those pigs are raised in captivity and have undergone breed improvement. However, the five-legged pig on Quemoy Island is a breed that has not undergone any breed improvement. It is still mainly free-range, so the meat quality is naturally different.
