Chapter 753: Acquiring the Municipal Meat Products Factory

"Um, the livestock at home haven't been fed yet, I'm leaving first."

The fat old woman turned and left, her pace quickening with every step. The fat on her body jiggled up and down, and her large floral boxers almost flew off. She reached out, grabbed them, pulled them up, and kept running.

Li Jiutang felt a surge of anger when he looked at those old women. Whatever Zhao Guifen said, no matter how she scolded Zhou Andong, that was an internal family conflict within the Zhou family; why were they tagging along and gossiping?

"You didn't buy any shares, so why are you coming here to join in the fun? Go home and do what you're supposed to do. If you're full and have nothing to do, tidy up your house and yard properly. Stop gossiping all the time, damn it."

Those old women exchanged glances, didn't say a word of pleasantry, and all scurried away in a flurry.

"Pah!"

A woman dressed very neatly, with short hair cut to her ears, not tall but looking very clean and capable, spat at those old women.

"Not a single good thing among them."

"Aunt Seven!" Zhou Andong greeted her, then looked at a middle-aged man beside her, "Uncle Seven!"

Uncle Seven sighed, patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder, and said nothing.

It was not easy for Zhou Andong to get to where he was today, but having Zhao Guifen as an aunt was truly frustrating.

"Chairman Zhou!"

Wang Shouqu walked over with a smile. He really couldn't appear during the scene just now, so he could only hide behind the crowd.

Now that things had calmed down, he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Why didn't you notify us in advance when you came back? We could have waited for you to return before signing the contract."

Zhou Andong shook hands with Wang Shouqu: "As long as this project of ours is settled and can let the fellow villagers live a good life, it doesn't matter whether you wait for me or not."

Wang Shouqu laughed heartily, then bent down slightly and held Zhou Xiaoxin's hand.

"Brother, looking at your complexion, your health has recovered quite well."

Zhou Xiaoxin nodded with a smile: "Before the surgery, I couldn't sit up, but now I can. And my legs have some sensation; they are always numb. The doctor said as long as I persist in exercising, I will definitely be able to stand up."

"That's great!" Wang Shouqu was also happy, "The day you stand up, we must celebrate properly. When that time comes, the two of us brothers must have a couple of drinks."

Zhao Quan glanced at the sun in the middle of the sky, "Don't chat under the big sun. If you have anything to say, go into the brigade headquarters."

Zhou Andong's family, Wu Huilin, Qian Zhen, Zhang Xuan, and Wang Shouqu were surrounded by villagers as they entered the brigade headquarters and then came to the conference room.

The villagers also followed in to join the fun. Those who couldn't squeeze in stood at the door, stretching their necks to listen, and the windows were also crowded with people.

Wang Shouqu sat on a bench, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zhou Andong: "If you hadn't come back, I would have been looking for you."

Zhou Andong took the cigarette, took out a lighter, and lit Wang Shouqu's cigarette first: "What's the matter?"

"The Dicos Rural Revitalization Assistance Plan is no longer suitable to be held in Tanghezi. I plan to put it in Dajin Village."

Wang Shouqu took a puff of his cigarette: "Tanghezi has a furniture factory, and now the villagers are using their land to buy shares in Lantian Animal Husbandry and Seed Industry. As long as they are over eighteen and under sixty, they will all become employees in the factory."

Zhou Andong asked: "How is the funding from the county prepared?"

Wang Shouqu said: "There is no problem with the funding. A Manager Hu from Dicos Catering Company has come, and we have already discussed it almost completely. As long as you nod, the project can be launched immediately."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Okay!"

Wang Shouqu's hanging heart landed. He was very afraid that Zhou Andong would object.

After all, this was a project Zhou Andong gave to Tanghezi to help the fellow villagers.

Zhou Andong turned his head to look at Wu Huilin: "What is the total investment in animal husbandry and seed industry?"

"Let Manager Zhang say it." Wu Huilin nodded to Zhang Xuan.

It had been a while since he last saw Zhang Xuan. This girl looked even more capable and mature.

"The total investment is 50 million. Qiudongfang holds 40% of the shares, Yugong Group holds 25%, and the Tanghezi villagers collectively hold 35%. In addition, there are 23 households that have not bought shares.

The first phase of the project will be completed by the end of October, with an expected annual output of 2,000 fat pigs. It requires 4 breeding boars, 170 production sows, 200 suckling piglets, and 2,000 nursery pigs."

Zhou Andong asked: "Who made this plan?"

"We invited two experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, as well as three animal husbandry and veterinary experts. This is the plan they came up with."

Zhang Xuan took a document out of her bag and handed it to Zhou Andong, "In addition to the pig farm, the first phase of the project also includes a fish farm, a cattle farm, and vegetable greenhouses. The five experts will join the job next week and start the project at the same time."

Zhou Andong smiled. This girl was still very capable, much better than her two idiot brothers.

"We are building pig farms and cattle farms, but not just to sell live pigs and cattle."

"I am currently in contact with the Municipal Meat Products Factory." Zhang Xuan exuded powerful confidence, "The sausages, steamed pork, and braised pork canned goods of the Municipal Meat Products Factory taste very good.

But because sales channels are limited, they are only sold in our city, and the farthest they reach is the surrounding counties and towns. So, I want to acquire the Municipal Meat Products Factory.

We have our own breeding farms, and then by using the sales channels of the winery, we can quickly open up the national market."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily and stood up: "Just follow your ideas. I'm leaving."

Zhou Andong's family was surrounded again and returned to the old house to take a look. There was no movement at all in the east courtyard.

"Strange!" Zhou Andong muttered, "After being beaten, why is there no movement at all?"

Zhou Anqin beside him snorted: "Probably at Grandpa and Grandma's place."

Zhou Andong didn't say anything: "Let's go, go to the furniture factory!"

Xiao Bei and Yuan Lu had already packed their luggage and were waiting for Zhou Andong.

"Big Brother!" Yuan Lu ran out of the office, called out first, then looked at Seeing Jian Qiu, and only then looked at Yuan Liying, Zhou Xiaoxin, Zhou Anqin, and the fourth child.

She had an impression of Yuan Liying and Zhou Xiaoxin, but she was completely unfamiliar with Zhou Anqin and the fourth child.

"Aunt, Uncle!"

"Sigh!"

Yuan Liying responded excitedly, touching Yuan Lu's face with both hands, tears streaming down.

Zhou Xiaoxin sighed with emotion; this girl had grown so big in the blink of an eye.

"Are you used to it here?"

Yuan Lu nodded vigorously: "Used to it!"

"Xiao Lu!" Yuan Liying held Yuan Lu's hand, "This is your sister-in-law, Seeing Jian Qiu!"

Yuan Lu had already guessed that this woman, who was so beautiful that she felt a little inferior, might be her sister-in-law.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" The originally lively girl suddenly became a little nervous standing in front of Seeing Jian Qiu.

"Hello, Lulu!" Seeing Jian Qiu took a jewelry box out of her bag. After opening it, there was a gold necklace inside with a pendant.

"It's our first meeting, and I don't know what you like, so I bought you a necklace."

Zhou Andong glanced at Seeing Jian Qiu in surprise; he didn't even know when she bought it.

"No, no!" Yuan Lu shook her hands repeatedly, "I don't want it."
