Chapter 133 New Career
The food has been set on the table outside.
Several people took their seats. Zhang Jianjun looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but sigh that the Tan family's cuisine was indeed worthy of its reputation. No wonder the big boss asked Sha Zhu to prepare it a few days ago.
Many dishes here cannot be made without advance preparation, and some even have to be prepared several days in advance. Tan’s cuisine is a royal court dish that is complicated to prepare and uses exquisite ingredients.
At the same time, I also understood what Mr. Ye meant. If people eat too much of this kind of food, they will really become corrupt.
"Mr. Ye, great leader, I offer you a toast!"
Zhang Jianjun took the initiative to pick up the glass and toast the two elderly people.
"Okay, come on!"
The three of them drank a lot while talking and laughing. The boss asked someone to call Sha Zhu over and toasted the chef.
Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Jianjun enviously. He had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, while Zhang Jianjun had already started eating and drinking here.
Then Sha Zhu went back to the kitchen to clean up. He packed up some leftover scraps and prepared to take them back.
At the table, after drinking for a while, talking about the current economic situation, Mr. Ye sighed and said, "The current economy is not good, and agricultural production of food cannot keep up!"
"It is really difficult for the country to develop heavy industry and national defense!"
Zhang Jianjun nodded. One of the main reasons for the current low agricultural output is the problem of fertilizers. It was not until the nationwide popularization of fertilizers that grain output began to grow rapidly, coupled with improved varieties and water conservancy.
Originally, one acre of wheat produced more than 200 kilograms, but later it gradually increased to 800 to 1000 kilograms.
But it is very difficult now, especially for fertilizer plants, which are not ordinary projects and require a lot of investment. In particular, it is difficult to introduce technology.
Zhang Jianjun thought about it and decided that since he had a portal, he could use it to introduce some fertilizer technology or even equipment from other countries in the world at that time.
The increase in food production will benefit the common people. Zhang Jianjun's idea is still very simple. Although his ideal is not that high, when he sees so many people can't get enough food, he decides to give it a try. It's just that such a thing is not easy to say openly, otherwise he will be caught and sliced!
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, I see you are frowning, do you have anything to say?"
Zhang Jianjun looked at Mr. Ye and said calmly: "The factors that restrict grain production now are fertilizers, water conservancy, and seeds."
"Especially the first two. Although many water conservancy facilities have been built across the country, there are still many dry lands that rely on the weather for food. Often, after planting 60 kilograms of seeds, only a little over kilograms of harvest may be harvested, or even nothing at all!"
"As for fertilizers, we need to import technology and equipment from abroad, which is very difficult for us."
"As for seeds, I believe that our country's agricultural scientists can cultivate good varieties. It just takes time!"
After listening to Zhang Jianjun's words, Mr. Ye nodded. He was right. Increasing grain production was definitely not an easy task.
Farmers are very hardworking. As long as there is a piece of land where crops can be grown, they will plant crops there. If they don’t, it means that the land is not suitable for growing crops.
"Yes, that's why this is such a headache. The country is facing a lot of external pressure right now. We need to focus on national defense and heavy industry. Without these, the country's security cannot be guaranteed!"
Mr. Ye sighed, and then said to Zhang Jianjun: "Then do you have any solution?"
Seeing Dao Ye asking him this, Zhang Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "I think we should try to get fertilizer production started first."
Mr. Ye nodded: "Yes, the country also planned this, but now there are difficulties. First, our country has very little foreign exchange, and second, the international blockade against us. Even if we want to spend money, we may not be able to buy it!"
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort. If there are difficulties, we just need to overcome them!"
The big boss said, "Jianjun, don't try to show off. This is a thankless job!"
Ye Lao interrupted him: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"
The big boss smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Ye, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid this is not allowed!"
Now various forces are fighting openly and secretly, and the situation is complicated. For such a major project, I don’t know how many people will get involved, and by then it may turn things upside down.
Mr. Ye thought for a moment, then said, "Jianjun, let's put it this way. We may not be able to provide too much support. The country's foreign exchange reserves are not that high. I will think of a way. The maximum I can give you is 500 million!"
"500 million?" Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but sigh. It was too little. He didn't know if he could buy a set of equipment with it.
"I know it's very little, but I really can't give out that much. You have to figure out the rest yourself!"
"So, in November this year, the Ministry of Chemical Industry will hold a small on-site meeting on synthetic ammonia plants. You can go and see that fertilizer plants are being built all over the country."
"Due to factors such as technology and equipment, the output is generally very small. It takes one and a half years and an investment of 5000 million yuan to build a small fertilizer plant with an annual output of 700 tons of synthetic ammonia."
Zhang Jianjun nodded. This was the first time he knew this information. However, these were all traditional chemical fertilizers with low yields. They could generally only be supplied for local use and were still a long way from being widely used.
In particular, chemical fertilizers include ammonia fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, the technology of the latter two is more difficult.
In particular, after potash fertilizer technology achieved a breakthrough in 1958, key technologies had not been mastered until 1997, during which time potash fertilizer had long relied on imports.
After returning to the courtyard from the boss's house, although Zhang Jianjun accepted the task, he was completely clueless as he was not a major in the field.
It seems that there is still some way to go before we can achieve anything, but now that we have the start-up capital, everything else will be easy.
It's just too much of a rip-off. It costs 5000 million to build a small fertilizer plant with an annual output of 700 tons of synthetic ammonia, but I only get 500 million.
However, with the portal in hand, Zhang Jianjun decided to give it a try. He then applied to have the courtyard next door allocated to him for experimental purposes.
Soon the approval came down, and the courtyard next door was granted to Zhang Jianjun for use, and the original residents were relocated. Zhang Jianjun opened up his courtyard and the courtyard next door, so that he could move around more easily.
At the same time, he told Director Wang of the Street Office that he was very busy with his work and could not continue to serve as the manager of the courtyard house, and asked her to find someone else to take the role!
Moreover, his own cross-courtyard does not fall under the management scope of the Siheyuan, so everything went smoothly.
The only problem arose in the selection of the management school personnel. Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong all requested to be transferred to the management school.
Even Sha Zhu and Xu Damao joined in.
It was finally decided that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would serve as the directors, and Yi Zhonghai would not be the director because Sha Zhu went to the street office to report that Yi Zhonghai had withheld his money.
