Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The fast food market that Wang Dong wanted to enter was the very famous fried chicken in later generations.

It not only has a very broad market, but it is also very profitable.

Rather than letting these funds be earned by two foreign fast-food chains a few years later, it's better to earn them for ourselves.

In today's interconnected world, fried chicken recipes are already well-known.

Wang Dong, as the head chef of later generations, knew this perfectly well.

To put it bluntly, Wang Dong has many better fried chicken recipes hidden in his head.

As long as the price is low, the market can be opened up quickly, and the people can accept the fried chicken combination they created. Even if someone imitates the fried chicken they make in the future, they will not be able to steal their business.

Moreover, to sell high-quality, low-priced fried chicken in large quantities in China and gain a good reputation, it is essential to have your own chicken supply channels.

Nowadays, domestically raised free-range chickens are not suitable for making fried chicken.

Once you have your own chicken farm, you can supply yourself with a continuous supply of chicken meat. This not only reduces procurement costs and saves on procurement funds, but also ensures that raw materials are not controlled by others.

Seeing that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife had no objections to his new idea, Wang Dong didn't waste any more words and continued to speak.

"young married woman……"

"Raising chickens not only requires costs, but also a lot of land..."

"I plan to visit some villages around Beijing in the next couple of days to see if I can rent a piece of land to build a chicken farm..."

"We also need to find some foreign-invested enterprises and try to import some broiler chicks..."

"As far as I know, fried chicken abroad is mostly made with white-feathered chickens..."

"They can be ready for market after three months of raising... Not only is the meat tender and juicy, making it perfect for fried chicken, but the raising costs are also very low, and the meat yield is very high..."

"I'm planning to go out tomorrow to sort out the land for the chicken farm first..."

…………

Shikou Commune, now called Shikou Town, is a remote town located about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing.

Before the reform and opening up, the local people lived in extreme poverty because the communes had insufficient arable land per capita and farming was the only way for them to earn money.

After the reform and opening up, although the land was distributed to the people, which greatly increased their enthusiasm for farming, the amount of land was limited, and even if the grain output was high, it was only enough to keep the local people from going hungry.

If we want everyone to live a better life, relying solely on farming is definitely not a viable path. Under these circumstances, the town government has no choice but to encourage residents to leave their homes and increase their income by working in the city.

Despite this, the local people still live a very miserable life.

After all, the local people are mostly uneducated, and even if they go to the city to work, they can only do the most menial manual labor jobs, which are not only hard but also pay very little.

This made everyone's lives a little better than before.

Secretary Zhang was the former commune director, and he stayed in Shikou Town for a full ten years. No one wanted to develop the commune and make the people richer than him.

However, Shikou Town has neither arable land nor mineral resources, making it extremely difficult to increase the income of its residents.

My hair is almost turning white from worry, and I still have no clue what to do.

"secretary……"

"Our investment attraction efforts have yielded results..." A middle-aged man rushed into Secretary Zhang's office, forgetting to knock. Upon hearing the words "investment attraction," Secretary Zhang, who was on the verge of anger, jumped up from his chair and stared at the man sternly, asking, "Mayor Li..."

"Attracting investment is a serious matter that can't be taken lightly. You're not kidding me... there really are people coming to invest in our poor mountain village of Shikou..."

The middle-aged man addressed as Mayor Li took a deep breath and replied, "Secretary..."

"I know my limits..."

“I have a relative who lives in Beijing. I went to visit him before the Lunar New Year and was taken to a restaurant called Dongjun Restaurant. The owner who came to see me just now claimed to be the owner of Dongjun Restaurant.”

"As long as the other party's identity is not a problem, there will definitely be no problem with the funds invested in our Shikou Town."

"Dongjun Restaurant has a total of ten branches in Beijing, with a total of about a thousand employees. They can earn tens of thousands of yuan every month and easily invest hundreds of thousands of yuan in us."

"Since they've taken a liking to our Shikou Town and even came to us on their own initiative, we're determined to keep this big spender here today."

Let alone investing hundreds of thousands, if someone could invest tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, in Shikou Town, Secretary Zhang would be laughing in his dreams.

Hurry up and walk towards the door: "Where is this person... take me there quickly..."

"By the way, tell me about this Dongjun Hotel..."

In the very simple meeting room of the town government, Secretary Zhang met Wang Dong, who had come on his own initiative. His first reaction upon seeing Wang Dong was that the other party was too young.

If it weren't for the fact that he was accompanied by a deputy and driving a four-wheeled car, Secretary Zhang would never have believed that such a young person could be a millionaire in Beijing.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he didn't waste any more words and went straight to Wang Dong, asking, "Boss Wang..."

"I wonder what it is about our Shikou Town that you've taken a fancy to, or what you're looking to invest in?"

Wang Dong thought for a moment and then came back: "Secretary Zhang..."

"To be honest with you... what attracted me to Shikou Town was its beautiful scenery and remote location, making it difficult to be disturbed by the outside world in the short term..."

"As for investment..."

"I originally planned to build a large chicken farm here..."

"After a brief inspection, we decided to build several more farms... We can even cooperate with the town government and the villagers to build factories, so everyone can make money together..."

Upon hearing the words "chicken farm," a clear look of disappointment flashed across Secretary Zhang's face.

In his eyes, no matter how large the chicken farm Wang Dong wanted to build was, it would only raise a few thousand chickens and would not bring much benefit to the development of the entire town.

Before he could reply, Wang Dong's voice reached his ears again: "The chicken farm needs at least one hilltop, which must be leased for thirty years at once, with rent paid every five years. We've already chosen the location. As long as the town approves, we can pay immediately and start construction. We aim to complete all the basic infrastructure within a month, and then start introducing chicks a month later..."

While they were talking, Wang Dong took out a map that had already been marked.

The disappointment on Secretary Zhang's face was immediately replaced by shock. Staring wide-eyed at the circle drawn on the map, he asked, "Boss Wang..."

"Are you sure the map isn't marked wrong? You want to rent all of Shiniushan Mountain and the surrounding 500-plus acres of wasteland..."

"In total, it's about two thousand acres... Can a chicken farm use such a large piece of land?"

Wang Dong replied with a smile, "Ordinary chicken farms certainly won't need this, but the chicken farm I'm going to build is no ordinary chicken farm..." (End of this chapter)
