Secretary Wang came to find Zhen Zhen and his son the next day, wanting to ask them to help plan a medicinal planting base.
Batou Village is very suitable for growing medicinal materials. Nowadays, the shortage of medicinal materials is short. If it can be planted, there should be no problem for households with a population of 10,000 yuan per person.
Zhen Zhen told Secretary Wang all the news he knew.
With her affirmation, Secretary Wang felt much more at ease.
Nowadays, everyone is in a production responsibility system. Every family wants to do it alone, but they dare not take this step easily, for fear of losing all their money.
It is perfect to have the village take the lead in doing this.
Secretary Wang wants to grow ginseng. Now the ginseng on the market costs 30 yuan per kilogram. For people in Batou Village, the price of a kilogram of ginseng is equivalent to their income for one or two months.
But Zhen Zhen is not optimistic about ginseng.
Secretary Wang was puzzled, “I learned that ginseng is the best medicinal material on the market.”
Nowadays, ginseng has not yet opened for food access and cannot enter the food field. It can only be sold as medicinal materials, which limits the sales channels of ginseng.
Moreover, ginseng cultivation in Batou Village is not a good time. How can it attract businessmen from other places to purchase goods?
Furthermore, ginseng will take 6 years to harvest. No one can predict the market conditions in 6 years.
The people are simply unable to undertake such long-term and high-investment projects.
Zhen Zhen explained carefully to Secretary Wang, “Secretary Wang, I respect you very much, but the market information has a lag. We laymen like us know that ginseng makes money, and others must know it too. I am sure that many people are ready to grow ginseng in large quantities because ginseng is easy to sell. It is conceivable that when ginseng harvests in 6 years, what kind of scene will be faced when the market is saturated, and the price of ginseng will drop again and again. Not to mention the loss, the 6 years will be delayed.”
Secretary Wang nodded with emotion:
“Indeed, I will take everyone to do business. If I can’t do it, don’t think about surviving in the village.”
Secretary Wang smoked a sip of dry tobacco, “Damn the big country, what you said makes sense, then what do you recommend to plant”
“You can plant some angelica, wolfberry, astragalus, Schisandra chinensis, etc.”
Zhen Zhen hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say or not.
Secretary Wang is a personal genius, so I can’t tell wherever I can see
“Damn the big country, just say it just by saying that I am the one who makes the idea. Even if you lose money, you don’t need to take any responsibility.”
Zhen Zhen naturally didn’t want to take responsibility. “I have heard of a medicinal material that is expensive and is very scarce on the market, but the investment cost is not low. Growing balls needs to be imported from Iraq, which has certain risks.”
“What medicinal material” Secretary Wang asked.
<"Saffron."
Secretary Wang had never heard of this thing, so he read the name in surprise and smacked: “Is this the Tibetan real estate? Can we grow it?”
“Although it is called saffron, most of the saffron is not produced in Tibet. If the market just opens, saffron will definitely be sold at a good price, but it is not easy to introduce balls. It would be even better if he could find a medicinal material company that understands technology, pairs up and helps Batou Village, and provides some technical guidance.”
Secretary Wang felt that her statement was feasible, “Then I will go back and learn about it and see how much saffron can be sold per pound.”
Secretary Wang is a practical person. After hearing Zhen Zhen’s words, he acted separately with several village clerks.
Several people went to the medicinal materials companies in the county and city to inquire about the market.
That night, Secretary Wang learned that this saffron is really a good thing!
“Damn Daguo, you are so knowledgeable. I asked the employees of the medicinal materials company. They were very surprised and asked me how I knew about saffron,” Secretary Wang took the tea water handed over by Meng Eryong, untied his collar, and blew several times. “He heard that I was a village leader and wanted to plant saffron, so he specially called me to ask the cadres of the headquarters. It turned out that their company had introduced saffron from West Germany, but the introduction was not successful. Last year, a batch was introduced from the island country, and the introduction was successful. This year, their company planned to import 10 tons of saffron planting balls, saying that if we wanted it, they could help us introduce it and do technical training.”
Zhen Zhen did not suspect that the other party was a liar. After all, people these days are so simple. “Someone is training, it’s good! Secretary Wang, you see, there are no saffron on the market. We introduce them with them. On the surface, we are not as professional as them. But you have to believe in the planting technology of our farmers. I can say that the top students at the Agricultural University may not be more experienced than farmers. At that time, our output will be higher than their first-level rate, and our saffron price will not be lower.”
Secretary Wang agrees deeply. He wants to grow ginseng, but Zhen Guizhi’s analysis makes sense. They can’t afford to wait for more than six years of planting time.
Their farmers just want to eat and make money.
The introduction of saffron has just been successful, and they have taken the lead and the price will definitely be sold at a high price.
Maybe one gram can sell for several dollars!
“I’ll have a meeting now and let the villagers vote.”
“Okay, I wish the villagers success in planting.”
Secretary Wang shouted on the village radio and asked the villagers to bring their own benches to the brigade for a meeting.
In less than an hour, the villagers gathered.
Secretary Wang held the trumpet and first explained to the villagers what saffron is and how to introduce them to plant them. He also talked about the risks in a realistic way, and finally let the villagers go.They voted to make decisions.
“I discussed with the big country that if there are many people who oppose it, we will plant it separately, and each company will do its own business! The village is responsible for purchasing balls and doing technical training.”
The villagers looked at each other, and they had to find a loan from a credit union. If they lose money, no one could bear the consequences.
If you don’t agree, you can only see others making money.
Who is willing to watch others make money, build buildings, buy hand-held tractors, but continues to live in thatched huts
Secretary Wang thought that saffron was risky, and the villagers would disagree. Who would have thought that none of them would give up.
“Secretary Wang, even if you lose money, we will follow you!”
