My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 749 - 456: What Level

Mengshan Pasture.

After paying his son a "hard-earned fee," Mr. Meng hung up the phone and just as he was about to relax with a glass of water, a figure hurriedly entered.

"Mr. Meng, it’s bad news; the factory has run out of water again!"

Consultant Sun... oh no, he should be called Vice President Sun now, came in with a worried expression.

"What? It just ran out yesterday? And it’s happened again?" Mr. Meng got up in shock.

"Is there no explanation from the water supply company?"

"Sigh! It’s the same excuse, pipeline maintenance...

Manager Meng, if it had been a power outage, we could manage somewhat; the new diesel generator we bought could keep us going for a bit, but there’s really nothing we can do about the water.

If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll have to organize the staff to carry water..." Vice President Sun said with a bitter smile.

Anyone familiar knows that in the pig farming industry, whether it’s feed mixing or environmental cleaning, the production process requires a lot of water.

Of course, it also generates a lot of wastewater...

"This is too much! Isn’t he afraid we’ll complain to the city officials!" A heavy punch landed on the desk.

Even a clay figurine has a point of anger, and even Mr. Meng, usually mild-tempered, was a bit annoyed at this time.

Vice President Sun shook his head and sighed. "Since they dare to be so blatant, it’s clear they are not afraid of our complaints.

It’s a shame; if the phase two plan’s water and electricity projects were completed, we wouldn’t be so passive now."

Speaking of this, Vice President Sun couldn’t help but marvel at Chairman Gao’s ambitious projects.

The phase two plan for Mengshan Pasture was not just about that "experimental" "integrated vertical eco-breeding building," but also included a series of hugely expensive supporting facilities.

Among them, the water and electricity projects were certainly the major ones.

In the enormous plan that Vice President Sun had received, Mengshan Pasture was going to rely on its existing ecological breeding base to gradually build a self-sustaining 300-megawatt "integrated wind-solar-water-storage" energy network in the future.

Once fully completed, it was capable of completely meeting the production needs of the factory area, and there would still be surplus even if it supplied the entire Meng Family Village.

There was also a significant investment in water resources, as the mid-term plan was to draw water from a nearby river through a canal.

Then, through a series of intermediate links such as breeding production, wastewater treatment, orchard and farmland irrigation, and fishery purification, a comprehensive water cycle utilization of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries was to be achieved, accomplishing maximum utilization and minimal pollution of water resources.

Considering extreme environmental conditions like dry seasons, severe cold, and drought, there were even plans to build a small reservoir nearby...

It’s just absurd!

Anyway, Vice President Sun’s mouth hadn’t closed since getting that so-called phase two plan.

If they built according to this plan, even if the outside world cut off water and electricity, the Mengshan Pasture’s plot of land could be self-sufficient for a long time.

But... it’s just pig farming, does it need such extreme internal recycling?

Is this really about setting up a pig farm, or is it about creating a survival base?

He really didn’t understand what those above were thinking, playing with high technology, playing low carbon, playing future ecological breeding was all fine, but such a plan more than doubled the investment!

Going with this investment model, the payback period feared to be at least over 10 years, with any random accident likely leading to massive losses.

Even as a manager, he understood this logic, but which normal capitalist would do such thankless work?

Of course, what he didn’t know was that the real helmsman of Mengshan Pasture had never considered using it to make money... free𝑤ebnovel.com

Even without the issues brought by County Magistrate Li, Meng Family Village’s self-sufficiency was a long-term strategy...

"Sigh! It’s pointless to talk about this now; my biggest worry is that these types of emergencies are becoming more frequent, and they may affect the nurturing of this first batch of piglets..."

This first batch of 3,000 pigs was very special because it was already reserved by Changqing Biological.

It even excited Mr. Meng tremendously back then.

Just opened, and they’ve already secured the buyers for you, and even offered a purchasing price 20% higher than the market rate; how else could you say it’s good to have powerful support?

But Changqing Biological was also very explicit, insisting on meticulous care throughout, using premium feed, frequent cleaning, strict enclosed management, and even periodically sending experts to check to ensure the health of each pig.

Although he didn’t know why a biopharmaceutical company would want so many pigs, their emphasis on this batch was visibly obvious.

"A minor loss is trivial, but failing Chairman Gao’s task is a major issue!

Now the north is affected by a disaster, and although our area hasn’t been impacted yet, judging by the spread, it’s probably only a matter of time.

Thankfully, Chairman Gao had the foresight to have us stop buying piglets from outside a month ago and enter preemptive closed management, or else we wouldn’t know how severe the losses could be.

Didn’t expect to avoid a natural disaster, but still couldn’t escape this man-made one..."

Mr. Meng was full of worries.

Although Meng Lang was helping to approach the "higher-ups" to try and manage the situation, he was also unsure of the outcome.

The best result would be Gao Yuan stepping in, giving the other party some incentives, and both sides stepping back to leave things be.

But the worst-case scenario would be irritating Gao Yuan, the major investor, and then it’s uncertain whether Mengshan Pasture could continue operating...

"Manager Meng, when under another’s roof, one can’t help but bow their head; let’s try to find some connections again and see if we can invite County Magistrate Li out."

"Sigh! That’s indeed all we can do now; I’ve asked someone to contact his brother-in-law, so hopefully, we should soon hear some news..."

...

Shuixi County.

"Ha! Tell them I’m swamped with official duties and have no time for visitors!

Alright, I have my own plans for this matter, and you will definitely reap the benefits when the time comes!"

The portly, greasy-faced County Magistrate Li ended the call with his brother-in-law, a sneer of disdain creeping across his face.

Humph! Such a massive investment, and they think they can fob me off with a few local products?

Inviting me to dine?

Just a country bumpkin trying to play big. Calling you ’Manager Meng’ really made you think you’re something special, didn’t it?

What standing do they have to invite me to dinner?

...

At that moment, Gao Yuan also received a message from Meng Lang.

Her attitude matched someone else’s perfectly, Gao Yuan didn’t consider this "minor issue" a trouble at all...

If Bin City Shipyard’s relief project gave Changqing Biological a temporary "Protective Golden Body" in Su City,

then the "African Z Billion Vaccine" order was a massive "Halo of Merit."

It protected not just Changqing Biological but even an entire upstream and downstream industrial chain...

Anyone who opposed this industrial chain was impeding disaster relief efforts. Even if Gao Yuan wasn’t worried, others would be apprehensive on her behalf...

"Hello! Director Wu, sorry to disturb you. I wanted to report a small issue, nothing major. It’s just that one of our suppliers has run into a minor hiccup.

You know, our billion doses need to be cultured in porcine primary bone marrow cells, which have strict requirements for the breeding body..."

That very day, the fledgling breeding base in the remote village of Mengshan Pasture formally became the critical raw material supplier for the "African Z Billion Vaccine" procurement project...

...

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling..."

That night, while County Magistrate Li was deep in dreams, he suddenly received a phone call.

"What the hell! Who is it? Don’t you know what time it is?"

"*&&%￥#@#￥%..."

The sleepy-eyed County Magistrate Li had barely picked up the phone when suddenly, as if stung, he shot out of bed.

"Uh... Cardinal Liu? I’m so sorry, so sorry, I truly didn’t realize it was you. What instructions do you have so late..."

"What? Mengshan Pasture... this..."

"*&&%￥#@#￥%..."

County Magistrate Li was left gawking, the fierce roars from the phone ringing clear in his ears...

...

The next morning, Mr. Meng stepped out for work, but before he could hop on his motorbike, he was blocked by six or seven figures...

"Oh, my dear Manager Meng, finally, we see you. It’s like a flood washed over the Dragon King’s temple—an utter misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding!"

Looking at County Magistrate Li, who was almost overflowing with obsequiousness as he gripped his hand, a freshly brushed Mr. Meng was completely dumbfounded.

"Uh... County Magistrate Li, what are you doing here, what’s all this..."

"Oh, Manager Meng, I’m here today specifically to apologize deeply. I’ve just found out how much trouble our work has caused both for Manager Meng and for the enterprises in our county.

It’s all my fault! Blind and ignorant, poor at judging and managing people!

But all this was an independent decision by a temporary worker!

Rest assured, I’ve already dismissed the involved personnel. From now on, Mengshan Pasture will definitely be a key enterprise under our county’s care, and no similar incident will happen again.

Come, if it looks good, just fill out this business incentive application form, sign it, and we’ll handle the rest!"

"What?"

What’s happening? Aren’t we the ones who should be asking you for favors?

You haven’t even set up an appointment yet, and here you are apologizing and prioritizing us...

Is this brother-in-law’s connection really that strong?

Looking at Mr. Meng, who was completely baffled and standing frozen on the spot, County Magistrate Li’s face was plastered with smiles, internally he was cursing furiously.

Would it have killed you to mention you had someone higher up earlier!

I’m just a minor department head!

Was it necessary to involve Beijing-level leadership to complain about me, and a deputy ministerial rank no less...

What am I, using a giant cleaver to kill a chicken?
