Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

The time during the drafting of the development outline was busy and monotonous, and it was common for the county leadership team to stay up late to discuss it.

Consultant Gu Zhan naturally stayed up late, and only had time to get a full night's sleep after the basic content of the entire development outline was finalized.

The next step was to solicit opinions. There was basically nothing important, so after the drafting group completed their work, Gu Zhan returned to Shanghe Village.

As soon as Gu Zhan entered Shanghe Village and washed his face at home, Zhou Jiawang sent someone to invite Gu Zhan over to discuss something.

During the time that Gu Zhan went to the south and the county town, the beef essence cutting factory in Shanghe Village was almost completed, with only some subsequent details left to be improved.

Zhou Jiawang was already feeling uneasy because he had borrowed a loan from the bank, and since Gu Zhan had not been in Shanghe Village during this period, he was extremely nervous.

So after hearing the villagers say that Gu Zhan had returned, he immediately asked the village staff to invite Gu Zhan over.

Gu Zhan also understood Zhou Jiawang's feelings. He asked the person who came to call him to wait for a few minutes, then he changed his clothes, shaved, and went to the village office with that person.

As soon as they entered the village office, Zhou Jiawang strode out and welcomed Gu Zhan in: "Gu kid, you're finally back. If you didn't come soon, I, your uncle Zhou, would be so worried."

Gu Zhan smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou, I've really been too busy recently."

Zhou Jiawang waved his hand and said, "We understand. After all, it's the county leaders who invited you. We can't just ignore it."

Gu Zhan smiled and waited for Zhou Jiawang's next words.

"Gu kid, our factory is now built, what should we do with the equipment?"

Before building the factory, Zhou Jiawang thought that the beef and beef semen cutting that Gu Zhan mentioned was done manually. Later, under Gu Zhan's guidance, he learned that it was done by machine.

Gu Zhan had considered this matter as early as the beginning of building the factory.

He originally thought that this kind of machinery had to be custom-made at a machinery factory in an industrially developed province. However, when he was visiting a machinery factory in the provincial capital with the inspection team, he found out that they could also make this kind of machinery, and the price would be much cheaper than buying it from other provinces. In addition, they also sent installation technical guidance personnel from the province.

As a result, the machinery factory in this province became Gu Zhan's first consideration.

According to the phone number he asked for, Gu Zhan used the village office's phone to call the machinery factory: "Hello, I'm Gu Zhan. I don't know if you have a phone number. I consulted you about some machinery before."

The person who received Gu Zhan's call was a female engineer. She was very impressed by Gu Zhan. On the one hand, it was because of Gu Zhan's appearance that stood out in the crowd. On the other hand, she was surprised at how proficient Gu Zhan was in machinery despite being an outsider.

The combination of these two things made the female engineer remember Gu Zhan the moment he called her.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, right?"

"It's me. I'm calling to ask if we can actually make the machine I asked about last time?"

The female engineer smiled and said, "The kind of machinery you're talking about is actually a piece of cake. We can all make it."

"That's good. We need three sets now." Gu Zhan said.

"That's no problem, but because the equipment you need needs to be custom-made, you must pay a 30% deposit first."

Gu Zhan glanced at Zhou Jiawang, who was standing next to the phone, and whispered, "They asked us to pay a 30% deposit first."

Hearing that he had to pay a deposit first, Zhou Jiawang frowned: "Deposit?"

Zhou Jiawang, who had originally looked hopeful, became hesitant after hearing about the deposit: "Gu boy, this equipment is not cheap, and paying a deposit first is also a large sum of money. What if the other party cheats us?"

Being cautious is a good thing. Gu Zhan did not blame him. Instead, after hanging up the phone, he told Zhou Jiawang about the equipment they needed and why they needed customized equipment. After this, Zhou Jiawang felt a lot more at ease.

When purchasing the equipment, Gu Zhan specially brought several young people from the village with him.

If work gets busy later, these people will be needed to take care of the affairs of Shanghe Village, so it is necessary to take them to learn the way and get familiar with the outside world first.

After paying the final payment to the equipment manufacturer, Gu Zhan followed the equipment transport truck back to Shanghe Village.

After the equipment was put into operation and debugged, the news of the completion of the Shanghe Village Beef Essence Cutting Factory spread in Xia County and surrounding counties through television news and newspapers.

At the same time, Shanghe Village also released the news: it is now purchasing 50 cattle.

As for the money to purchase the fifty cattle, it was a loan from the bank.

The cattle entered the factory, where they were first slaughtered and then the beef was cut. The semi-automated production line surprised everyone in Shanghe Village.

So when the factory announced that it was recruiting staff, they all rushed to sign up.

Finally, considering the small workload during the trial production phase, the factory only hired sixteen people. Gu Zhan had already taught these sixteen people the procedures and precautions for using the machinery when the factory started operating.

There was almost no problem in purchasing fifty cattle. After the farmers who sold the cattle to the factory received the money, more breeders came to inquire about this guy.

Gu Zhan's unified response to the public was: "We will issue an announcement when they need it. Please pay attention to the announcement in time."

Farmers who had not yet sold their cattle sighed that they were a step too late.

With these fifty cows, the fine-cut beef factory in Shanghe Village started operations in a small scale with great fanfare.

The neatly cut beef coming off the production line is packaged and neatly put into the cold storage, and then transported by cold chain to the Xia County Yellow Beef Store in the city.

This store is a temporarily rented store, and it is also an attempt by Gu Zhan.

In the previous life, when the economy was moving towards high-quality development, brand development with regional characteristics was very popular and loved. Gu Zhan felt that in this life, from now on, he could establish a geographical landmark brand of Xia County Yellow Beef to the outside world. This would be beneficial to the long-term development of the industry.

As soon as Xiaxian yellow beef was sold in Jingshi, many people came to inquire about it.

The beef after fine cutting has less fascia, has a tender and smooth taste, and is priced low, basically not much more expensive than ordinary beef, so people are willing to buy a small piece to try it first.

Then customers came into the store one after another, asking about prices or making purchases.

As the sales time went on, many people realized that the quality of the beef in this Xia County Beef Store was really high, and they came to buy meat.
