Chapter 345 Establishing Supply and Marketing Cooperatives
Chapter 345 Establishing Supply and Marketing Cooperatives
Without hesitation, Yu Zhenglai immediately began to notify the venue leaders to come to the conference room for a meeting.
The meeting room of the forest farm headquarters.
Yu Zhenglai cleared his throat and looked at the assembled leaders.
"There's nothing else I wanted to talk about today."
"The main purpose is to discuss the future development of our forest farm."
"Under the strong leadership of the higher authorities, the close cooperation of our colleagues, and the concerted efforts of our forest farm staff, our forest farm has achieved success in afforestation."
"Although we have achieved success in afforestation, we cannot be complacent."
"The forest farm cannot continue to develop without talented people."
"But where do these talented people come from?"
"It's very simple. Besides recruiting from major universities, we also train our own students."
"In addition, considering that some of our forestry workers' children have difficulty going to school."
"Therefore, I plan to establish a primary school directly under the jurisdiction of our Saihanba Forest Farm."
"Everyone, please share your opinions."
"I agree with Director Yu's opinion."
Not long after Yu Zhenglai finished speaking, Huang Ziming raised his hand to indicate his agreement.
The key point is that there is no need to oppose this.
Establishing schools is undoubtedly a basic necessity for many employees of the forest farm.
After all, as Yu Zhenglai said, there are indeed many children in the forest farm.
They have to go to Weichang County to go to school, which is really troublesome.
Furthermore, from a long-term development perspective, the development of the forest farm is indeed inseparable from talent.
Bringing talent from outside is indeed not as good as cultivating it yourself.
Even more importantly, if this school is run well, it will be a tangible achievement for the government.
When he returned home this time, his father told him to stay in Saihanba for a while longer.
After some time, he will be transferred back to the capital and given another post.
If only I could have one notable achievement to add to my glory before I leave this world.
Perhaps I will be in a higher position after I return to Beiping.
"I also agree with the farm manager's suggestion."
Unlike Huang Ziming's thoughts, Li Zhong also nodded in agreement.
Although he is different from Huang Ziming, all of his children are studying in Weichang County.
If I could let my child study at the place where I work, that would be wonderful.
Other venue leaders also expressed their agreement.
After all, this is all beneficial and without any harm.
Some of them have children, and their children are studying in Weichang County.
Those who don't have children yet will definitely have children in the future.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to oppose this matter.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, then it's settled."
"I'll report this to my superiors in a bit."
"We aim to establish the primary school before the start of the fall semester this year."
"Director Yu, since we're going to build it, why not build the junior high and senior high schools at the same time?"
As soon as Yu Zhenglai finished speaking, Huang Ziming raised a question.
After all, in his view, if the goal is to establish a school, why not just go straight to the point?
"Ahem, it's not that I haven't considered building it all at once."
"But after all, this is our first time establishing a school, and we have no experience."
"So I want to build the primary school first, accumulate relevant experience, and then promote the establishment of junior and senior high schools."
Huang Ziming nodded after hearing Yu Zheng's explanation.
"Does anyone have any further questions?"
"If there are still any problems, please raise them promptly. The purpose of our meetings is to gather wisdom from all sides."
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Yu Zheng nodded.
"Since everyone has no questions, let's move on to the next topic."
"As everyone probably knows, Saihanba is located in a remote area."
"So there has never been a supply and marketing cooperative."
“Our staff usually have to go all the way to Yudaokou to buy things.”
"So I want to set up a supply and marketing cooperative in our Saihanba Forest Farm as well."
"I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on this?"
Yu Zheng didn't waste any time and immediately got straight to the point.
"Building a supply and marketing cooperative? That's wonderful!"
Upon hearing Yu Zhenglai's words, Section Chief Zhang of the General Affairs Department was the first to express his agreement.
After all, their general affairs department is responsible for the allocation of materials for all employees.
Sometimes, in order to purchase supplies, we need to go to Weichang County.
Not only is Weichang County far from Saihanba, but the roads are also difficult to travel.
It often takes a whole day to go there and back.
And that's assuming the weather is good and the heavens are on your side.
If it rains or snows, the time for the round trip is not guaranteed.
If a supply and marketing cooperative could be established in Saihanba, the pressure on their general affairs department would be greatly reduced.
That's why he couldn't wait to speak.
The leaders expressed their approval of Yu Zhenglai's idea of establishing a supply and marketing cooperative.
After all, although they work and live in the forest farm, they have no problem with basic supplies.
However, it's not very convenient to purchase other items.
If there were a supply and marketing cooperative in Saihanba, it would be very convenient to buy anything in the future.
"Since no one has any objections, let's agree to this."
"Alright, everyone, the meeting can be adjourned."
"Director Huang, Director Li, could you please wait a moment?"
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed.
Huang Ziming and Li Zhong remained seated without moving.
After everyone had left, Yu Zheng walked to the door of the conference room, closed the door, and returned to his original position.
"Director Huang and Director Li are both on the same side, so I won't hide anything from them."
Yu Zhenglai sat down in his original seat, took a sip of water, and then spoke directly.
"Regarding what I just mentioned about building this supply and marketing cooperative in the field."
“This supply and marketing cooperative is not part of our system, so I’m not very confident about this matter.”
"Both of you used to work in Beiping (Beijing). I just wanted to ask if you know anyone at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
There were only three people here, so Yu Zheng decided to just get straight to the point.
Having said all that, Huang Ziming understood without a second thought why Yu Zhenglai had kept him there.
"Director Yu, to be honest, although I work in Beiping, I really don't have any connections in this supply and marketing cooperative!"
Before Huang Ziming could speak, Li Zhong spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenglai nodded.
He knew that Li Zhong had been a professor before, so it was understandable that he didn't have any connections at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Now Yu Zhenglai can only pin his hopes on Director Huang, who usually keeps a low profile.
Although Huang Ziming didn't say it, Yu Zheng could tell that this Deputy Director Huang had a powerful background.
Now it depends on whether Deputy Director Huang is willing to lend a helping hand.
If they are willing to lend a hand, that would be excellent.
If Director Huang is unwilling, then Yu Zhenglai will have no choice but to bite the bullet and try his luck at the headquarters of the Beiping Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"Uh, Director Yu, I do have some connections with a minor leader at the supply and marketing cooperative in Beiping."
"But I'm not sure if he can handle this!"
Under Yu Zhenglai's intense gaze, Huang Ziming finally spoke slowly and deliberately.
"However, for the sake of our Saihanba Forest Farm, I can try to make contact!"
For Huang Ziming, this matter was extremely trivial.
After all, although the Huang family wasn't the most elite in Beiping, they were still among the upper echelons.
There were also former protégés and officials of the Huang family in the headquarters of the supply and marketing cooperative.
However, he didn't gain much from this matter.
However, Huang Ziming thought again that although he didn't have much of a vested interest in this matter, he could transfer the vested interest to Xia Tian.
That's why he agreed.
After hearing Huang Ziming's words, Yu Zhenglai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Director Huang!"
"Whether it succeeds or not, on behalf of all the staff of Saihanba Forest Farm, I thank you."
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
Hearing Yu Zheng's high praise, Huang Ziming nodded in agreement.
Just as Yu Zhenglai was talking to Huang Ziming, Xia Tian also returned to the technical department office.
"What are you two doing here?"
Seeing Shen Mengyin and Sui Zhichao standing at the office door, Xia Tian asked.
"Mr. Xia, I'm here to ask you for leave!"
Sui Zhichao turned to look at Xia Tian and explained his purpose.
Seeing the two of them, Xia Tian nodded.
"You two, come in with me!"
After saying that, he pushed open the office door and went in first.
"How long of leave are you two taking?"
"I would like to request a month's leave!"
Sui Zhichao looked at Xia Tian and announced a number.
"A month?"
Xia Tian listened to Sui Zhichao's words and pondered for a while.
"A month is probably a bit too long."
"As you know, the saplings that were just planted in Forest No. 1 are now in a critical stage of pest and disease control."
“It might be a bit difficult for you two pest and disease experts to be gone for a month at a time.”
"Engineer Xia, we..."
After hearing Xia Tian's words, Shen Mengyin wanted to say something, but Sui Zhichao stopped her.
"However, your two important life events are also important."
"You two are indeed not young anymore."
"I've asked for leave for both of you!"
Xia Tian then changed the subject and granted leave to the two of them.
"Engineer Xia, didn't you say?"
After listening, Sui Zhichao asked a question.
"It's alright, you two go ahead and do your things. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event!"
"I'm still here to deal with the pests and diseases on the dam, aren't I?"
"Thank you, Engineer Xia!"
"Alright, remember to come to my dorm for dinner tonight, I have something to tell you all!"
After seeing the two off, Xia Tian sat in the office for a while before heading to Woodland No. 1 to check on things.
The saplings in Woodland No. 1 were planted this spring.
The saplings in the woodland are also growing well.
After checking around in the summer and finding nothing unusual, he returned to the farm headquarters.
In the office.
Yu Zhenglai was holding a phone, and on the other end of the line was Qin Qiufeng.
"He's coming right now, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Ministry of Forestry," Qin Qiufeng asked with a smile, holding the phone.
"Old leader, it's like this, we want to set up a school in Saihanba!"
Yu Zhenglai reported his idea of building a primary school in Saihanba to Qin Qiufeng.
After listening to Yu Zhenglai's report over the phone, Qin Qiufeng nodded repeatedly.
"That's great! Your idea is excellent!"
“I personally agree with your idea.”
"You've done a good job at the Saihanba Forest Farm."
Yu Zhenglai was very happy to hear Qin Qiufeng's praise on the other end of the phone.
"It's all thanks to the excellent guidance of our leaders!"
"You're coming right now, so stop flattering me."
"I'll call a meeting to discuss your proposal in a little while!"
"Okay, thank you, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhenglai sat in his office chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
A short while later, there was another knock on the door.
The visitors were Xia Tian and Meng Yue.
"Xia, Meng, what brings you here?"
Seeing the two of them arrive together, Yu Zhenglai asked with great curiosity.
"Uncle Yu, I've come to ask you for half a day off!"
"Ask for leave? Why would you need to take leave?"
"I want to go to Weichang County with Xiaoyue to get our marriage certificate!"
Summer looked at Meng Yue beside her with tender eyes.
Meng Yue blushed, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"Oh, great news! I've approved your leave!"
After hearing Xia Tian's words, Yu Zhenglai readily approved the leave without saying a word.
"Thank you, Uncle Yu!"
Xia Tian accepted the letter of introduction handed over by Yu Zhenglai and sincerely thanked him.
After leaving Yu Zheng's office, Xia Tian obtained a special privilege.
They used a government vehicle for private purposes, driving the forest farm's jeep with Meng Yue in tow, and headed straight for Weichang County.
An hour later, the two appeared in Weichang County.
Park the car in front of the Weichang County Civil Affairs Bureau.
Xia Tian held Meng Yue's hand and they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
……
"From today onwards, you belong to me!"
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xia Tian took Meng Yue's hand and whispered something in her ear.
"So many people here, Engineer Xia!"
Feeling the tingling sensation in her ears from Xia Tian's hot breath, Meng Yue shyly punched Xia Tian.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm licensed to work now!"
Xia Tian waved the marriage certificate in her hand and continued.
"You're so annoying~"
"Ignore you!"
Looking at Meng Yue's adorable appearance, Xia Tian wished he could just hug her and kiss her.
However, considering that it was still broad daylight and the world was in full bloom.
Being mindful of the impact, Xia Tian managed to restrain her thoughts.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
"Then go back and prepare dinner for tonight!"
Summer took Mengyue's hand again and led her out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
I purchased some household goods and daily necessities from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then I bought some wedding candy and other things needed for the wedding.
Summer didn't understand these things.
However, before he set off from Beiping, he seriously consulted his aunt.
Xia Tian originally wanted the wedding to be a grand affair.
After all, marriage is a big deal, it only happens once in a lifetime.
However, Aunt and Mencius' parents believed that everything should be kept simple.
Although everything is kept simple, nothing that is necessary is omitted.
Soon, the two had purchased their goods and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
An hour later, the two figures reappeared at the forest farm headquarters.
At this time, the forest farm had not yet closed for the day.
The two of them worked together to move the things from the car into Xia Tian's dormitory.
