Chapter 410: A Stab Whether You Stretch Your Neck or Shrink It
The following morning, once everyone was at their posts, Hao Wenjing instructed the County Committee office to inform all County Committee Standing Members to convene for a meeting and invited Chen Bin to attend.
Since this was not one of the monthly routine meetings, many people found it somewhat unexpected.
As individuals gradually arrived at the conference room, Chen Bin also seated himself at the very end of the conference table.
Hao Wenjing scanned the room, her expression solemn as she spoke.
"I convened this meeting today primarily to discuss development for Beihuang County. After conducting investigations, I discovered that there are few major cattle feed factories in our province, and I believe our county could try growing certain feed crops."
As soon as she finished her sentence, Tang Heqing raised a dissenting opinion.
"Since other places haven’t succeeded, doesn’t that imply the feed industry isn’t profitable? Why would we pursue this?"
"That’s an excellent question."
Hao Wenjing explained, "Beihuang County is near the grasslands, giving us natural advantages for producing cattle feed. Furthermore, growing feed crops could increase farmers’ incomes, so I believe it’s worth a try."
Cao Bencong shook his head at this point.
"I don’t think highly of this industry! Beihuang County already has very limited arable land—where would we find the bandwidth to toy around with such peculiar ideas? If we fail, how will we answer to the people?"
Once he made that statement, others chimed in, expressing their disapproval as well.
