Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Right now, the higher-ups are still quite strict on production lines. Any large-scale production carries risks. But if we can secure a production task that earns foreign exchange, it's like buying an insurance policy."

The country's current situation means that the demand for foreign exchange is almost endless. Any production activity that is linked to foreign exchange earnings will be given the green light.

It’s a pity that our industrial base is too weak and we still have to rely on agricultural and sideline products to earn foreign exchange.

Moreover, the exports are mainly raw materials without much added value.

"But, in our Chuzhou area, we don't have any flagship products that can earn foreign exchange..."

Ai Gaofeng said with a frown.

He still agrees with Liu Hongyi's idea.

If the foreign exchange earning task is done well, not only can production be scaled up, but also good results can be achieved.

“Aquaculture!”

Liu Hongyi said affirmatively.

"Look, dear leaders, our cadre school has just tried its hand at raising rabbits and fish, and within a few months we've had a bumper harvest. This shows there's a lot of potential in the aquaculture industry."

"Chicken, duck, fish, eggs, pork, mutton, and beef are all our key products for earning foreign exchange..."

Before Liu Hongyi could finish his words, Zhao Bolong shook his head and said, "Hongyi, your idea is good, but it's hard to implement. The livestock industry requires a lot of food, and our biggest problem right now is that we don't have enough food."

The per capita food ration is insufficient, how can we develop the breeding industry?

The cadre school raised thousands of rabbits, and had already used up all the edible grass within a few miles of the area. In order to ensure that the rabbits had food to survive the winter, they also prepared some silage.

"Then we must vigorously develop the feed industry."

“We have conditions for this.”

Liu Hongyi said confidently.

"We have several senior agricultural technology researchers here at the Cadre School. We can mobilize them to develop feed formulas. Although we still need to consume grain, as long as the formula is reasonable, we can maximize its utilization. After earning foreign exchange, we can purchase grain to make up for the shortfall, thus forming a virtuous cycle."

"In this matter, the important thing is to get ahead of others."

"I estimate that within a few years, the policies from above will definitely change. By then, grain production will no longer be a problem, and the proportion of meat and other non-staple foods will continue to grow."

"We in Chuzhou must seize this opportunity."

There is no doubt that the feed industry will have great potential in the next few decades.

With economic development and a substantial improvement in people's living standards, the demand for all kinds of meat products will only grow. Agricultural products will eventually withdraw from the ranks of major foreign exchange earners, but domestic demand will remain enormous.

The Chuzhou region took the lead in developing the feed and breeding industries, which is a "century-long plan."

"Also, in terms of industry, although our Chuzhou region has a weak foundation, it's not completely without opportunities. We don't have the conditions for heavy industry right now, but we can give light industry a try."

"In the first phase, we mainly focus on daily necessities."

"Enamel products and tin products are a breakthrough."

"These things can not only be exported to earn foreign exchange, but also have huge domestic demand."

Everyone looked at the talkative sixteen-year-old boy in surprise. Ai Gaofeng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his admiration was beyond words.

Time passed quickly and it was the beginning of 77, before the Spring Festival.

Daning.

The Third Research Institute of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, small auditorium.

A low-key yet grand award ceremony was held here.

Duan Weimin's old leader, a senior deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, was entrusted by his leader to personally rush to the Daning Third Research Institute to present awards to the meritorious officials.

Thanks to the impressive samples and the strong recommendations of Commander Dong and Army Commander Yu, the acceptance of the 35mm automatic howitzer and the 40mm sub-mounted howitzer went very smoothly. They passed inspection by higher authorities in a very short time. After approval by the Central Military Commission, they were included in the 77 military production plan. The goal was to have them deployed to some field troops within a year or two.
