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

Chapter 115 Proposing Ideas

After Gu Zhan returned from the county, Li Fu, director of the Xiaohe Town Commune, rushed to Shanghe Village as soon as possible.

When Zhao Baogen asked someone to tell Gu Zhan to go to the brigade headquarters, Gu Zhan thought it was Han Yong calling for him, but he didn't know that it was actually the commune director Li Fu who called him.

"Hello, director."

Li Fu had met Gu Zhan before, and he didn't feel unfamiliar when he saw him again, so he greeted him directly.

Who knew that after a long while, Li Fu replied slowly: "Yeah."

Gu Zhan glanced at Li Fu and saw that Li Fu's face was not very good, especially when he looked at him. Zhao Baogen on the other side also had an unnatural expression.

Seeing that his expression didn't scare Gu Zhan, Li Fu simply said directly: "Little Gu, if we have any problems, we should still report them step by step, right? Young people, you shouldn't be too self-willed. Do you think what I said is right, Comrade Xiao Gu?"

Gu Zhan understood. It turned out that he felt that he had not reported to him when he went to the county, or that he had bypassed the commune, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Gu Zhan was a scientific researcher in his previous life, and he encountered many such things when he was at the grassroots level. Now that he met Li Fu, they were all minor problems.

"Oh, Director Li, are you talking about the meeting at the county yesterday?"

Li Fu didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Gu Zhan smiled nonchalantly and said, "I was notified directly by the county. I thought the county had already notified the director."

Li Fu was stunned and speechless, because the county had never mentioned Gu Zhan's matter to him. He only found out about it after his daughter Li Li came back yesterday.

Li Fu had never expected that the twenty-year-old man standing in front of him would confront him. Anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he said to Zhao Baogen, "Captain Zhao, is this your team member?"

Zhao Baogen remained silent.

Li Fu slammed his hand on the table with a "bang" and then walked away with a sullen face.

Zhao Baogen looked at Gu Zhan worriedly and said, "We've offended the director. What should we do?"

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, he can't affect us."

What Gu Zhan didn't say was that maybe in a few days, he would no longer be the director of Xiaohe Town Commune.

Although Gu Zhan comforted him with his words, Zhao Baogen was still feeling very anxious.

The work on the mechanized plow has been basically completed, and now all that’s left is to make the first batch of finished products.

As far as Gu Zhan’s current plan is concerned, the only thing that remains is raising cattle.

Raising cattle is not only a breakthrough point for the people of Shanghe Village, but also a breakthrough point on the road to development and prosperity of Shanghe Village.

As long as this can be accomplished, Shanghe Village will definitely be at the forefront of development in the same region in the subsequent development process.

Thinking of this, he first called Sun Yuan, the president of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

"Hello, President Sun, I'm Gu Zhan."

"Xiao Gu?" Sun Yuan was very surprised when he received the call from Gu Zhan. According to the schedule, Gu Zhan should not have finished translating the information he sent to him last time. Why did he call him in the middle of it?

Could it be that you encountered some difficulties?

"Yes, it's me, Gu Zhan."

"Hello, Xiao Gu, did you encounter any difficulties in the translation process?" As soon as the words came out, Sun Yuan felt something was wrong. With Gu Zhan's ability, he was able to accurately translate such difficult documents before. Now that he has reached a simple stage, there should be no problem.

Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "That's not the case, Dean Sun. The document translation is going smoothly. I just have something I want to discuss with you."

"Things?" Sun Yuan became interested. He wanted to hear what Gu Zhan wanted to talk to him about.

"Well, Dean Sun, I heard last time that our 'Anhe No. 1' yellow cattle breed has been developed and they're planning to promote it on a large scale, is that correct?"

Sun Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Yes, we do have this plan now, but we are still unsure where to place it."

Hearing Sun Yuan say this, Gu Zhan felt relieved. He was not afraid that Sun Yuan might not say it for sure, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to change it if something had already been confirmed.

"President Sun, what do you think of Shanghe Village in Xia County? The Xiaohe Town Commune, where Shanghe Village is located, has a lower average annual temperature than other places in Ontario, and the climate has a reasonable relative humidity, making it a perfect choice for aquaculture."

"Is that so?" After Gu Zhan said this, Sun Yuan became even more curious. They had been looking for a place to release the breeding cattle recently. They had looked in many places but gave up because of the climate. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhan actually gave them a reference address.

"So, look, could you consider Kamikawa Village?"

"Hahaha, kid, after all this talk, you're actually planning this? Okay, I'll consider it. I'll give you a reply within three days."

"In that case, thank you very much, Professor Sun."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baogen once again looked at Gu Zhan with admiration.

"Who is this Dean Sun?" Zhao Baogen asked, pointing at the phone.

"Uncle Zhao, he's the president of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He's already bred a new breed of yellow cattle and needs to promote it on a large scale. I'm wondering if Shanghe Village could be the first place to promote it."

When Zhao Bao heard the news from Gu Zhan, he was both happy and worried.

The good news is that if Shanghe Village becomes the promotion site for the new breed of yellow cattle of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, it will solve the current shortage of oxen in Shanghe Village and even achieve the effect of generating income.

What is worrying is that Shanghe Village is now poor and has nothing. Even if people want to promote it, they don’t even have a decent cattle farm let alone money.

This is how to do?

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Baogen decided to ask Gu Zhan first: "Gu boy, raising cattle as you said is no problem for us, but we don't have the money to buy cattle!"

Gu Zhan smiled comfortingly and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry about this problem. I guess the cattle that the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences should have won't be sold too expensively. We can apply for the remaining part and see if the county can provide it. If not, we can find a way to borrow some!"

"Borrow money?" Zhao Baogen's eyes widened. He had never thought that he would be involved in borrowing money in this life.

In his opinion, borrowing money is a very dangerous thing and it is beyond his risk tolerance. He would never borrow money to do this.

"No." Zhao Baogen firmly denied Gu Zhan's suggestion of borrowing money.

"Uncle Zhao, borrowing money is a last resort, but it's not the only option."

After hearing this, Zhao Baogen's expression relaxed a lot.

"And Uncle Zhao, borrowing money is not scary. As long as we have a decent income, we can pay it back."

"Well, I'll think about it."
