"Xiao Gu, you know the situation of our township government. We're so poor that we can't even afford food. How can I get 200,000 yuan?"

Hearing Gu Chenggui's words, Gu Zhan knew that Gu Chenggui had misunderstood his meaning, so he simply followed Gu Chenggui's words and continued: "Secretary, if the township government does not support our factory now, it will be difficult for us to run it."

Gu Chenggui shook his head and said, "It's difficult, but you know, we don't have money right now."

Gu Zhan didn't say anything. Just when Gu Chenggui thought he might get up and leave, Gu Zhan spoke up: "Secretary, how about this? If we apply for a loan from the bank, can you be the middleman?"

"What bank loan?"

"Yes, bank loans. It's difficult for all parties to raise money now, so we can only rely on loans to set up the factory."

Gu Chenggui thought about it and agreed. After all, it was the collective economy of Shanghe Village, so there was no reason for him not to help.

"Okay, I have a friend at the bank. Let me pack and we can go there."

Half an hour later, Gu Zhan and Zhou Jiawang were already on the bus to the county town. Gu Chenggui sat in the front, chatting with them from time to time. They arrived at the county town in less than half an hour.

Originally, Gu Zhan thought that it would be difficult to get a loan. After all, in his memory, banks in this era were very strict about loan cards. Some people even had to go through backdoors to get loans. He was already prepared to talk his way out of it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chenggui got it done in just a few words. Gu Zhan had to admire Gu Chenggui.

Coming out of the bank, Gu Zhan thanked Gu Chenggui again: "You kid, you're still so polite to me. The good development of your Shanghe Village is naturally also the credit of my Xiaohe Town. No need to thank me, work hard!"

"Yes, yes, I will, Secretary." Zhou Jiawang nodded in assurance.

After finishing his business in the county town, Gu Chenggui thought about it and thought that Shanghe Village's collective economy, as a representative of the town's outstanding village collectives, had a vital role to play in the development and growth of Xiaohe Town Commune. As its superior administrative unit, the township government could not sit idly by.

So after repeated negotiations with the town's brick factory, he decided to support Shanghe Village's collective economy in the form of in-kind allocations, giving them 100,000 bricks free of charge to support the construction of a beef essence cutting factory.

After several days of discussion with the county leadership team and heads of various units, Tian Yun determined and issued the Xia County Industrial Development Plan.

Once the plan was made public, it aroused a lot of responses from local people. Some of the smarter ones have already begun to prepare for the relevant factory construction matters.

The county's inspection team also determined the candidate within just two days.

Zhu Changzhi, the former director of the Xia County Agricultural Bureau who has become the deputy county magistrate, led the inspection team to learn from some economically developed areas in the south.

Gu Zhan was also among the invited guests. In Tian Yun's words, Gu Zhan was knowledgeable and could provide them with further guidance.

When Gu Zhan got the news, he was guiding villagers to dig trenches and foundations at the site where the beef essence cutting and processing plant was about to be built.

Because this was the first time that Shanghe Village built a factory, the villagers were not familiar with the details. Gu Zhan drew the blueprints overnight and discussed with Zhou Jiawang before bringing them to the site for guidance.

Zhu Changzhi has been very busy with the inspection team's affairs recently. When he heard Gu Zhan's suggestion to set up a beef essence cutting factory in Shanghe Village, he took time out of his busy schedule to go to Shanghe Village.

Seeing Zhu Changzhi, Gu Zhan was also a little excited.

"County Magistrate Zhu."

Zhu Changzhi laughed out loud as he walked across to Gu Zhan: "Hey, kid, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've made it big, ah!"

"County Magistrate, please stop making fun of me."

"I heard you were planning to build a factory, so I came to take a look."

"Thank you for your concern. The blueprints were drawn up a few days ago, and construction started the day before yesterday. The land has been leveled, and we'll start digging the foundation today."

"You guys are very efficient. Good job! You have a very flexible mind."

Gu Zhan nodded firmly: "Not really, it's just that our industry has developed to this stage. Nowadays, industrialization is conducive to the healthy and sound development of our beef cattle breeding industry."

"I hope so. We don't have much experience in industrial development right now, so we're trembling with fear at every step."

"It will succeed." Gu Zhan said in a low voice.

Zhu Changzhi probably didn't hear what Gu Zhan said. He walked in front of Gu Zhan, looked around the factory foundation, and smiled.

"By the way, Xiao Gu, I came here today to see the progress of your factory construction. Another reason is that I would like to invite you to become our consultant and go to the south with our inspection team to conduct an inspection. By the way, you can also give us some advice."

Gu Zhan agreed without giving it much thought: "Okay, don't worry, I will attend on time."

"Okay, we'll leave in two days."

After Gu Zhan came back in the evening, he told Liu Xiaoxi about this matter as soon as possible. Liu Xiaoxi was of course worried about Gu Zhan, but she had no reason to stop this matter.

The longer she spent with Gu Zhan, the greater the responsibility she felt. She should be proud of being able to do something for the development of this place.

"Be careful when you go out. Don't get both arms injured like last time."

Four years ago, Gu Zhan was injured when he went out, which really scared Liu Xiaoxi. Now, every time Gu Zhan goes on a long trip, she has to remind him several times, for fear that he will do something impulsive and get hurt.

"I understand, wife, don't worry, it was really an accident."

Liu Xiaoxi didn't say it, but she knew in her heart that with Gu Zhan's personality, if something urgent happened, he would probably be the first to come out.

When Gu Zhan was about to follow the inspection team to the south, at the Agricultural University in Beijing, Li Ruguang had been worried for several days.

Their white-feathered chickens have superior physiological indicators, but few people recognize their current market promotion, and some chicken farming companies even prefer to import them from abroad.

This has resulted in their subsequent improvement plans being shelved.

Several scientific research institutions that had originally agreed to cooperate with them began to back off when they saw that promoting white-feather chickens was complicated and not certain to bring profits.

Even the members of their team are now somewhat unconvinced whether the results of their years of hard work are really that good and important?

After much thought, Li Ruguang felt that the promotion and further optimization of white-feather chickens were crucial. He could not forget what Gu Zhan said: the promotion of white-feather chickens has far-reaching strategic significance.

After thinking about it, Li Ruguang decided to write to Gu Zhan for help.
