In 1997, the development of Yuquanying was on the fast track.

First, a large number of Fujian businessmen came to invest here, and a large number of projects were launched at the same time. Standing on the roof and looking around, there are tower cranes everywhere. For those who don’t know, I thought this was a first-tier coastal city.

Secondly, Xiang Nan himself invested more than 40 million to establish Xingwang Breeding Farm, Fafu Feed Factory, and Greenhouse Vegetable Base.

The farm is used to raise sheep. The mutton of Laoxia is famous far and wide, especially the Yanchitan sheep. The meat is delicate and tender, not fishy or smelly, and is the best mutton.

The reason why Tan sheep is called Tan sheep is mainly because it is raised in the wild. The Yanchi area is a saline-alkali land, and there is saline-alkali water on the surface. The sheep drink this water all year round, which naturally removes the fishy smell.

However, there are no such conditions in centralized breeding on farms, and Xiang Nan did not expect to raise Tan sheep. He knew that even ordinary mutton is actually quite valuable now.

Mutton has been a relatively high-grade meat since ancient times. The highest standard for sacrifice in ancient times was one pig, one cow and one sheep, while the lower-level Shaolao sacrifice was one pig and one sheep. Song Renzong was hungry in the middle of the night when he was writing a memorial.

Eat a bowl of delicious mutton soup. Later, I was afraid of spending money and being too extravagant, so I didn't say anything.

In the 1990s, people's living standards improved, and the demand for mutton was also increasing day by day. The market prospects were very promising. Moreover, the whole body of sheep is a treasure.

Sheepskin can be used to make furs, leather shoes, leather bags, leather hats, leather gloves, leather seats, etc.; wool can be used for textiles to make blankets, sweaters, felts, etc.; sheep dung is very good after fermentation.

Organic fertilizer. It has strong fertilizer effect and strong fertility.

Therefore, raising sheep cannot be said to be a huge profit, but it is also very promising.

…

Feed mills are mainly used to process corn, potatoes, straw, etc., turning them into feed, increasing their added value, and also increasing farmers' income.

With economic development and residents' living standards improving, the demand for meat is increasing day by day.

In the early 1990s, China was still the world's top meat exporter. By the 1920s, China had changed from an exporter to an importer.

This shows that the domestic supply of meat products can no longer meet the consumption needs of the Chinese people. Therefore, the animal husbandry and breeding industry is really promising. And animal husbandry and breeding are inseparable from feed.

In the past, farmers could only sell the grain they produced to grain stations, and the purchase prices at grain stations were not high.

Now it has an extra place to go. The Fafu Feed Factory in Xiangnan has an annual production capacity of up to 150,000 tons, which requires 150 million kilograms of grain, which can solve the problem of unsaleable grain for nearly 100,000 families.

Moreover, it can also raise 300,000 mutton sheep and supply more than 10 million kilograms of meat to the market, which can be said to be a matter of immeasurable merit.

…

As for vegetable greenhouses, Xiang Nan came up with another way to increase farmers' income.

People cannot help but eat vegetables. Vegetables are rich in nutrients and can supplement vitamins, carotene, protein, amino acids, minerals, etc.

But no one grew vegetables in Yuquanying before.

First, the wind and sand are too strong, and the vegetable seedlings will be killed as soon as they are exposed to the soil, which is a waste of effort;

Second, there is an extreme shortage of water. You have to use a flatbed truck to water the ground. The water demand of vegetables is several times that of wheat and corn, and it cannot be supplied by manpower alone;

Third, there is nowhere to sell large-scale planting. Yuquanying is nearly a hundred miles away from Yinchuan City. There were no roads at that time and transportation was inconvenient. Moreover, farmers did not have advanced transportation tools and relied on animal-drawn vehicles to transport fresh vegetables to the city.

Withered.

Therefore, even if they do, they only plant one or two pieces of land, or plant some pumpkins, cucumbers, eggplants, etc. in their own yards. Large-scale planting is rare.

However, times have changed. Now that roads have been opened, transportation has become more convenient. Fresh vegetables picked in the early morning can be found in the vegetable market and major supermarkets in the morning, which can be said to be very fast.

Moreover, Yuquanying has newly opened a three-level water pumping station, which can irrigate tens of thousands of acres of land, so water is no longer a problem. And after building greenhouses, wind and sand are no longer a problem.

In fact, a large number of fruit trees have been planted in these Gobi deserts to protect against wind and sand, and the effect is very obvious. In the past few years, there were frequent sandstorms. In the past two years, they have basically disappeared. Even if they did, they were much less powerful.

.

Vegetables grown in greenhouses can grow off-season vegetables, allowing people to eat fresh vegetables during the cold winter. This is also very beneficial to enriching people’s vegetable baskets.

…

In 1997, 356 new companies were registered in Yuquanying, 120 of which had a registered capital of more than 500,000 yuan.

Various enterprises have sprung up, making Yuquanying more and more prosperous. Even fast food restaurants, coffee shops, game arcades, etc. that are only found in the city have appeared in Yuquanying.

It can be said that in terms of prosperity, it even surpasses Ning'an County.

In July 1997, the construction of Minning Village officially started.

It is a project assisted by southern Fujian and will have a series of supporting facilities, such as hospitals, schools, banks, post offices, etc.

Once completed, it will become the administrative center, management center and residential center of Yuquanying Development Zone, enough to accommodate thousands of immigrants.

And so many projects have brought a lot of job opportunities to young people.

Xiang Nandu provided 500,000 yuan to An Yongshou and An Yongkang, and asked them to recruit a construction team to take over the project.

An Yongshou and An Yongkang had poor performance in the past two years and dared to get involved in Shuihua's clothing factory, so they were severely beaten by Xiang Nan. Not only did they cut off their financial resources, they were even not allowed to enter the factory for a time.

After losing Xiang Nan's protection, An Yongshou and An Yongkang immediately became angry. They received a lot of beatings from society, which made them recognize the reality and learn to behave.

After two years of hard work, the two of them finally looked alike.

An Yongshou and his wife opened a clothing store in the county town, and An Yongkang and his wife opened a restaurant in the county town. Although they did not make much money, it was not a problem to support themselves.

Xiang Nan saw that the two of them could live peacefully, so he funded them to set up a construction company to undertake projects in Yuquanying.

…

"Now Yuquanying is engaged in civil engineering construction. There is no shortage of work. You can lead the people to do it well. Don't be lazy or slip up. There is plenty of money to be made." Xiang Nan urged, "Just be the same as before, just eat, drink and have fun.

.When the time comes, even if you are brothers, I will not help you anymore."

"We understand, brother." An Yongshou and An Yongkang both nodded.

After being beaten by society, the two of them have long understood that without Xiang Nan's protection, they are nothing. Therefore, they must be obedient and hold Da Bai tightly.

With a rich brother like Xiang Nan around, they were not afraid of not making money as long as they worked honestly. So they both learned the lesson and immediately led the engineering team to undertake projects in Yuquanying.
