A month later, the publication "Story Collection" released a subscription notice for the standalone edition of "Humanity's Forbidden Island." As Hu Ruoyun had anticipated, letters of cooperation proposals and intentions began pouring in from all over the country to Annan County and Laogu Township.
Township Head Feng was so pleased that he felt a bit lost in his own excitement. Just look at all these letters of intent from various places; surely some projects would be suitable for them. If they could secure a few, they would soon be on par with Gaoqiao Town!
At this moment, he still wanted to hear Hu Ruoyun's opinion. After all, his planning for Gaoqiao Town had been successful, and having him weigh in would provide more assurance.
Hu Ruoyun glanced through some of the proposals in Chai Hongmin's office. Most were related to specialty farming, such as raising guinea fowl, minks, silver foxes, emus, and special crops like Tianshan vegetables and cherimoyas.
Not to mention whether these were suitable for Annan County; even the market prospects were unclear, and there were technical issues involved. Hu Ruoyun shook his head in disapproval.
However, one letter from Nanhe Niuhua Dairy Industry caught Hu Ruoyun's attention and filled him with excitement. In the foreseeable future, Nanhhe Niuhua Dairy Industry Group Co., Ltd. was poised to become a national-level key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization that integrated dairy processing, cattle breeding, and feed production. It was one of the top twenty dairy companies in China.
Although it wasn't as powerful as later giants like Yili or Mengniu, it still held considerable strength in the Central Plains Region. Hu Ruoyun pulled this letter aside and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew; let's start here!"
Chai Hongmin reported back to Township Head Feng, who felt a pang of regret seeing so many "novel" projects dismissed by Hu Ruoyun: these were all opportunities!
Hu Ruoyun explained, "Town Chief, while those projects may be fresh, they also come with significant trial-and-error costs." He then analyzed them in detail regarding technology and market prospects.
After listening to Hu Ruoyun's insights, Township Head Feng finally made up his mind: "Then let's reach out to Niu Huahua! I'll report to the county first..."
But Hu Ruoyun stopped him: "Township Head Feng, if you want to make this happen in Laogu Township, I suggest you keep it under wraps for now. Do you really think our township is the only one suitable for cooperation with Niu Huahua among the twenty-six townships in the county? If the leaders decide to treat the entire county as one chessboard and impose their arrangements on us, will you listen or not? I dare say that if this letter reaches the county office, Laogu Township will likely be sidelined."
His words enlightened Township Head Feng: "I understand now; thank goodness for your reminder! I'll personally lead the team for negotiations and invite Niu Huahua's representatives for an inspection while ensuring no one else can meddle! Once things are more settled, I'll report back to the county."
He reflected with newfound understanding: "Mayor Mao from Gaoqiao Town is much shrewder than I am; he arranged most of his orders within the town before reporting any excess to the county..."
In times of hardship comes change. Having finally secured a reliable project, Township Head Feng was anxious not to let it slip away. He immediately organized meetings with the Party Affairs Office, Land Office, Finance Office, Business Management Office, Tax Bureau, and Business Administration Office to discuss cooperation plans. Three days later, he set off with relevant personnel for Nanhe.
This trip to Nanhe went surprisingly smoothly. Because Niu Huahua was interested in Laogu Township as well, both sides quickly reached a preliminary agreement: soon after, a vice president from Niu Huahua would lead a team to Annan for an inspection. If all went well, Laogu Township would coordinate land use and work with Commerce and Planning Commission departments to facilitate Niu Huahua's establishment in Lao Gu. Niu Huahua expressed an initial investment intention of five million yuan to set up a cattle breeding base with plans for incremental investments each year to expand its scale.
During these business trips, Township Head Feng only managed four or five hours of sleep each night—partly due to being busy and partly due to excitement keeping him awake!
Upon returning from his trip and sending his accompanying staff back to Lao Gu, Township Head Feng took only Chai Hongmin with him to the county seat. They sought an appointment with County Mayor Jiang Ruming and County Committee Secretary Li Gaoqiang to "report on important work."
There were no secrets within the system; both officials had heard some news about Laogu Township but hadn't expected things would progress so quickly and smoothly. In a small meeting room at the County Committee office, both leaders attended the meeting together.
Township Head Feng reported thoroughly on his trip's achievements and mentioned that Niu Huahua would soon be coming for an inspection. He requested both officials' attendance at this important event while also asking for coordination with relevant departments such as Planning Commission, Land Resources, Commerce...
The two officials felt a surge of joy in their hearts, but exchanged glances and quickly put on serious faces.
Li Gaoqiang said in a deep voice, “Comrade Feng Decai, do you realize what kind of behavior this is? It’s completely disorganized and undisciplined! You only thought of County Head Ruming and me after you had everything else arranged. Do you understand that this is entirely against the procedures?”
Township Head Feng was momentarily stunned, his mouth agape as he struggled to find words. Seeing his dumbfounded expression, County Head Jiang Ruming couldn't help but chuckle, “Secretary Gaoqiang, let it go. We wouldn’t want to scare Comrade Decai into a panic!”
Li Gaoqiang couldn’t help but smile as well. Feng Decai finally felt his heart settle back into his chest, secretly complaining, “Why are the leaders acting so unrefined?”
In the County Committee meeting room, the County Head arranged for the government office to immediately summon the heads of the County Planning Commission, Land Bureau, Business Bureau, Commerce Bureau, Tax Bureau, and other relevant departments for an emergency meeting.
The County Head presided over the meeting while Secretary Li Gaoqiang set the tone. A resolution was formed on the spot: all units must fully cooperate and expedite the processing of documents related to Niu Huahua submitted by Laogu Township within the scope of policy allowances. Any unit or department needing to report to higher authorities must not delay or engage in bureaucratic wrangling!
A week later, a delegation from Niu Huahua arrived in Annan under the leadership of a Vice President surnamed Cheng. County Head Jiang Ruming accompanied them throughout the visit alongside heads of relevant departments. Personnel from the Agricultural Bureau provided detailed reports on the types and areas of crops that could be planted in Annan (Lao Gu) and took them to see thousands of acres of autumn corn ready for harvest.
Overall, the Niu Huahua side was satisfied.
That evening, Secretary Li Gaoqiang attended a reception banquet and once again expressed a strong willingness for mutually beneficial cooperation with Niu Huahua. The hosts and guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
Three days later, a signing ceremony for the memorandum of cooperation took place in the multifunctional hall of Annan County Hotel. The CEO of Niu Huahua specially attended the signing ceremony and signed on behalf of both parties with County Head Jiang Ruming.
Mayor Meng Xiangjun of Jinan City and others were present to witness the ceremony.
Once the autumn corn was harvested, Annan completed land acquisition work for dozens of acres at the junction of Su Village, Xin Zhuang, and Wu Ying. Construction teams entered the site, quickly achieving water, electricity, and road connectivity. Production workshops and office buildings began construction.
Moreover, the initial investment of 5 million yuan was only for infrastructure costs; funds for dairy cows and equipment were budgeted separately.
It was reported that once the base officially started operations, no fewer than 100 job opportunities would be available for nearby villagers, with expected annual profits and taxes surpassing the total non-agricultural tax revenue currently collected by Laogu Township!
Additionally, there would be positive impacts on employment and income from related industrial chains.
It was said that because of Niu Huahua's entry, Laogu Township had already completed its investment attraction tasks for the next five years ahead of schedule.
…
Rumors circulated that Township Chief Feng Decai was about to take off.
