Chapter 76 The Overall Situation Is Settled

  Qiong Island's five-toed pig, yellow cattle, Wen Chang chicken, and Hele crab... are all excellent brands. Unfortunately, they have not been operated since ancient times.

  Apart from a small number of people, hardly anyone outside the island has heard of these varieties of meat and seafood. Especially Wenchang chicken, in Southeast Asia it is made into "Hainanese chicken rice", extremely famous.

  Especially in Singapore and Malaysia, Hainanese chicken rice has become a famous local dish. Locals love it, and tourists adore it too.

  Ironically, in Hainan, the hometown of this dish, not many people know about it. In fact, very few people know that this dish originated from Wenchang chicken in Hainan.

  "The quality of this pork is indeed much better than what we sell in Xiangjiang. But as for the specific price, we need to conduct a certain assessment. These assessments include the nutritional and meat qualities of this pork."

  Jiang Li frankly told Liang Sanping: "Of course, I am absolutely sure that if this pork is sold in Xiangjiang, it will definitely be higher than the market price of ordinary pork."

  Liang Sanping smiled and waved his hand, saying: "We don't plan to supply these pork directly to the market, but rather in limited quantities. In other words, our quantity is limited."

  "Oh?! Why is that?!" Jiang Li was very curious. But then, Liang Sanping picked up a piece of pork and said to Jiang Li: "This breed of pig is one of the few that has not undergone any breeding improvements. At the same time, this pig's growth rate is also extremely slow, with only over 100 catties of meat per year."

  "So, we should open up to supply the market. This is definitely unrealistic, of course! And it's precisely because of this that our pork can be supplied to specific groups of people, and the number of supplies per year is also limited."

  Li Sanping shared his thoughts with Jiang Li and Pan: "In this way, we can guarantee the quality of our pork while ensuring that prices will not fluctuate. Of course, we will cooperate with your side to establish a special company as an independent brand."

  "This brand will be operated by both of us, and at the same time, products will not be limited to pork only. Including Huang Niu, Wen Chang chicken, Jiaji duck, Hele crab... etc."

  But then Liang Sanping smiled and said, "Jade Island still has many treasures, but these treasures need our discerning eyes to discover. They also require our patient management and meticulous maintenance."

  When it comes to business, Yang Zao and Han Chun lost interest. After eating something casually, the two old professors suggested going back to rest and continuing their investigation tomorrow.

  Some other staff members were very interested in this aspect, but the two old men got up and naturally didn't want to stay behind. They stood up and left with the elderly people.

  Liang Sanping and Jiang Li were getting more and more excited, Jiang Li's hometown was on the island of Qingdao. So naturally, he had heard his father talk about his hometown since childhood.

  But as he grew older, the closure of China and the outside world also made him full of curiosity about his hometown. What is the appearance of his hometown that his father remembered, which made him infatuated and even hoped to be buried after death?

  This time, he finally returned here. After a series of discussions, the northern Guangdong side finally agreed to let Jiang Li take a look around Qiong Island. At the same time, the high-level also agreed to let his father return to his hometown for burial.

  The first time he returned to his hometown, the simplicity of the farmers here made him very moved. At the same time, the poverty here also shocked him. But thinking of what his father said to him, he felt at ease.

  His father had told him that he was forced to go out and make a living because his family was too poor to survive. Hunger, life-threatening hunger, had always followed Jiang Li's father.

  Even when the Jiang family later became a middle-class household, as Jiang Li's father, he still insisted on keeping food within his line of sight.

  Otherwise, he would become restless and anxious. Although their family's wealth had reached a level where they didn't have to worry about food and drink anymore. However, Jiang Li's father still had an intense fear of hunger due to the poverty of his past.

  Seeing this, Jiang Li somewhat understood why Ship King returned to his hometown in 1978 and couldn't help but want to build a university for his hometown.

  Jiang Li also wanted to build a university here, but at the same time he hoped that the people here could get rid of poverty. Only by letting them thoroughly get rid of poverty and teaching them how to make money.

  This is a way to fundamentally solve their problems. And the sales of vegetables in Japan gave Jiang Li a glimmer of hope.

  "To be honest, after returning home I have been feeling deeply grieved about the consequences at home. Logically speaking, as a world-class major power, how could we fall behind to such an extent?!"

  Obviously somewhat drunk, Jiang Li stood in front of Liang Sanping and sighed: "To be honest with you, I actually stopped sailing many years ago. I was transferred back to the company and engaged in administrative work."

  "This time I took the boat, just to be able to return to my hometown for a trip. Take a good look around here, Mr. Liang. I'm very grateful to you, because of your support I was able to return to my hometown and fulfill my father's last wish..."

  Liang Sanping heard this and couldn't help but wave his hand, smiling: "I actually didn't do anything, just lent a hand to pass on a message. The one who should be thanked is Regional Commissioner Ge Tai. It was his efforts that made it possible for you to fulfill your father's last wish..."

  "I'll find an opportunity to visit Mr. Ge Tai." Jiang Li heard this and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Of course, if it weren't for your message, I wouldn't have been able to return here either."

  Looking at Jiang Li who was obviously already drunk, Liang Sanping could only sigh and send him back to the reception house. Jiang Li had just rushed back today, his father's old mountain stronghold was really too far away.

  The mountain road has to be walked for almost an hour, and it's hard for Jiang Li who is used to being pampered in Xiangjiang to stay in the mountains for a few days. Due to inconvenient transportation and difficult roads.

  This resulted in his late arrival. The staff who followed him, of course, would not follow him to suffer in the mountains. They all stayed in Lucheng and could only rush over tomorrow.

  "If you're tired, take a rest. It's just as well that tomorrow you can bring people and Professor Yang to inspect it together." Liang Sanping smiled and said: "You can use your own eyes to see if this project is feasible or not."

  Liang Sanping went back to rest, but the tension and busyness of so many days had also taken a toll on him. However, he hadn't even had time to rest when he returned to his room in the vegetable garden before being called away again.

  "Three Pings! There's a call for you in the team, go and answer it quickly! It's from the Imperial Capital." Upon hearing that it was from the Imperial Capital, Liang Sanping's heart skipped a beat.

  Is something wrong with Ye Jianwen?! Liang Sanping couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled, and with this puzzlement, he hurriedly ran towards the company's office.

  At this time, the lights in the office had already lit up. In this era, there were no mobile phones. Even pagers hadn't appeared yet. The means of contact relied on telegrams, telephone and letters.

  But the phone was not the kind of landline that came later, but a hand-cranked one that required an operator and switchboard.

  "Hello! I'm Liang Sanping. Who's looking for me?" Liang Sanping picked up the phone and took a deep breath before speaking into it.

  "Oh! Liang! Our plan has succeeded!" But then Nelson's voice came from the other end of the phone, chuckling: "Now Wan Hong Corporation has taken over this project, and soon their team will sign an agreement with us. Then it's just a matter of transferring funds and starting work directly!"

  Liang Sanping heard this news and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they hadn't signed the agreement, or if Wan Hong discovered something wrong and quit halfway, their plan would have been ruined.

  He learned that this matter had already been settled, and Liang Sanping couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  "Nelson, you've worked hard! Come to Qiong Island, I'll treat you to a good drink!" Liang Sanping let out a long sigh and smiled at Nelson on the other end of the phone.

  "Oh God! Stop pouring me wine, your liquor is too strong! I'd rather have some red wine, your stuff is too potent, I can't take it..."

  "Haha... I won't force you to drink! However, I really don't know if I can get red wine, but if I can, I'll let you try some. But I'm not guaranteeing it for sure!"

  The two of them talked about the situation with Wan Hong Corporation for a while, and then Nelson said he would rush to Qiong Island within a week after signing the agreement. The people from Wan Hong Corporation will also come together with him.

  That is to say, Liang Sanping has a week's time with Ge Tai to plan and take out 300 mu of land as a well-planned experimental base. At the same time, they also need to plan for breeding.

  Qiongdao vegetables are able to sell well because they use less pesticides and fertilizers. If this is excluded, then under the more advanced agricultural technology in Japan, they have no advantage at all.

  After hanging up the phone, Liang Sanping felt even more pressure. Planning a 300-acre experimental base was not an easy task.

  The area of planting shall not be less than 300 mu, and with the addition of houses, warehouses, canteens... and other constructions, it is definitely impossible to stay within 300 mu.

  "Hello! Trouble helping me connect to the autonomous prefecture party committee..." The phone system of the agricultural reclamation and the local system are not connected. But in the scene office, there is a transfer point for both parties.

  Liang Sanping thought for a while in the office and felt that he should call Ge Tai now. At least let Ge Tai be prepared, otherwise tomorrow's time would be even shorter.

  After being transferred to several switchboards, the phone finally reached the office of County Committee Secretary Ge Tai. Although Ge Tai was off-duty now, there were still people on duty in the office.

  "Also, please inform Commissioner Ge immediately that Wan Hong Corporation and our company will sign a contract tomorrow. Within a week, Wan Hong Corporation and Mr. Nelson will come to Qiong Island for inspection. Please ask him to make preparations..."
