Chapter 128 Zhao's Foods Enters Provincial Chemical Plant

In the days that followed, Zhao Yuan was incredibly busy, working like a spinning top without a moment's rest.

He shuttles back and forth between Zhaojia Village and the food factory every day, without even a moment to catch his breath.

Moreover, he also had to occasionally take precious time to visit Tengfei Fireworks Export Company to check on the preparation and delivery status of the products ordered by Wilson and others.

During each inspection, he meticulously checked every detail to ensure that all products could be shipped on time as scheduled.

After three busy days, Zhao Yuan began preparing for his trip to Harbin.

The day before his departure, he specially brought his capable assistants Li Jian and Feng Jun with him to Huzhou Province, and brought all the products produced by his own factory.

Upon arriving in Huzhou Province, Li Jian and Feng Jun immediately immersed themselves in market research. They tirelessly visited every corner to gain a deep understanding of the local market conditions, while actively seeking suitable locations to open Zhaoshi Foods specialty stores.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan personally visited Secretary Bai Bin at the Provincial Party Committee.

Upon meeting Secretary Bai Bin, Zhao Yuan eagerly reported in detail his plans to open a franchise store and establish a branch factory in the provincial capital.

Subsequently, he sincerely applied to Secretary Bai Bin, hoping to obtain approval for a piece of land near the urban area for the construction of Zhaoshi Food Factory No. 2.

After listening to Zhao Yuan's statement, Secretary Bai Bin pondered for a moment and suggested that Zhao Yuan first write a formal report.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan immediately took out the carefully prepared land approval application and feasibility report from his backpack and handed them to Secretary Bai Bin.

After receiving the report, Secretary Bai Bin carefully read through it and instructed Zhao Yuan to patiently go home and wait for further news.

After leaving the provincial party committee building, Zhao Yuan took Li Jian and Feng Jun with him.

With a clear goal in mind, they headed straight for the provincial chemical plant, intending to find Director Qi Yong and Secretary Luo Zongguang.

Soon, the group arrived at the biochemical factory.

With a smile, Zhao Yuan first warmly introduced Li Jian and Feng Jun to Factory Director Qi Yong and Secretary Luo Zongguang.

Then, with a broad smile, he said:

"Director Qi, Secretary Luo, I've come here specifically because I have a favor to ask of you two!"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Luo Zongguang laughed and replied:

"Comrade Zhaoyuan, you're too kind! We're like family, you're a great contributor to our factory! Don't be shy, tell us what it is, and we'll do our best to help in any way we can!"

Zhao Yuan quickly replied:

"These are new products produced in our factory. I brought some samples today so that you can all try them. Also, I hope that we can sell these in the factory canteen."

As he spoke, he gave a wink to Li Jian and Feng Jun, who were standing at the door.

The two understood each other perfectly and immediately and carefully moved the items that were placed outside the door into the office and arranged them neatly on the floor.

Seeing the pile of samples laid out on the ground, Secretary Luo Zongguang nodded and readily replied:

"No problem! But you need to offer a reasonable price. Here's what I'll do: I'll have the cafeteria manager come over later to discuss the details with you."

Zhao Yuan's face was filled with gratitude, and he kept saying, "Thank you so much, leaders!"

Soon, Qi Yunhui, the canteen director, arrived at Secretary Luo Zongguang's office.

Feng Jun immediately brought out some of each of the following items, including ham sausages and braised dishes, for Director Qi Yunhui to taste. After tasting them, Director Qi Yunhui gave a thumbs up.

"Yes, it tastes very good, it should be very popular."

"Then let's go to the conference room to discuss the specifics of the cooperation, and call Director Liu from the office as well."

Secretary Luo Zongguang said.

So everyone went to the conference room and began to seriously and meticulously discuss the specific details of the cooperation.

They first discussed the most critical issue of delivery time, ensuring that every batch of goods could be delivered on time and in the correct quantity;

Next came the price negotiation. After some back and forth, a price agreement was reached that satisfied both parties.

After all the important matters were discussed and agreed upon, and the cooperation agreement was signed, Zhao Yuan stood up with a sigh of relief, expressed his sincere gratitude to the two leaders once again, and then turned and left the provincial chemical plant with light steps.

Zhao Yuan drove his car at breakneck speed toward the provincial agricultural university.

He was both excited and nervous, because this meeting with Principal Bai was about the future development of the joint research center.

The car quickly entered the campus of the Provincial Agricultural University. Zhao Yuan found a parking spot with ease, then hurriedly got out of the car and went straight to Principal Bai's office.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from inside.

It turned out that Principal Bai had known Zhao Yuan was coming for a long time and was waiting for him in his office.

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan, Principal Bai immediately stood up to greet him, grasped his hand tightly, and said, "Little Zhao, we've been waiting for you, you busy man! Our school has high hopes for the joint research center project you mentioned!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and replied, "Principal Bai, you flatter us. We are extremely honored to have your support and attention!"

After saying that, the two smiled at each other and walked into the office together.

As soon as they sat down, the two couldn't wait to get down to business.

Zhao Yuan first gave a brief introduction to some of the preliminary plans and ideas for the joint research center, emphasizing the basic requirements for the site, such as size and facilities.

Principal Bai listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement.

Following that, Zhao Yuan elaborated on his ideas regarding personnel allocation, stating that not only would he need to bring in a group of experienced and highly professional professors and researchers, but he would also need to cultivate a young and energetic team of university students and local youth as a reserve force.

Zhao Yuan became particularly excited when discussing his research direction.

He raised his voice and said:

"Principal Bai, in my opinion, our joint research center should focus on innovation in breeding technology and the research and development of new high-quality pig breeds. We need to cultivate superior pig breeds that are highly disease-resistant, grow rapidly, and have delicious meat. Of course, at the same time, we cannot neglect the further improvement and enhancement of chicken and duck breeding technology. Only through comprehensive development can we truly promote the progress of the livestock industry!"

Principal Bai nodded repeatedly after listening, his eyes shining with admiration.
