Chapter 471: Some things we don’t do

"But, what does this have to do with you?" Chen Mingluo sat here thinking for a while, but still couldn't guess what this matter had to do with Xiao Mingxue.

After all, although Yangshuo also has pig breeding industry, it has nothing to do with exporting it to Hong Kong and Macao. Even if you are tracing the source or something, you have never heard of something similar in Yangshuo, so Chen Mingluo cannot guess what the above meaning is.

"The above is hope that Yangshuo can take on this political task." Xiao Mingxue told Chen Mingluo.

"That's it--" Chen Mingluo scratched his head, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Strictly speaking, this is not a good thing. Since it is done as a political task, it means that the economic interests are automatically ignored. In other words, it is probably not profitable to do this, and it can even be said that it is destined to lose money.

Since it is a business that loses money and also has to shoulder very serious political responsibilities, of course, no one is willing to do such things. After all, if you have the energy and money, why don’t you do it? Why do you have to lick others with a pole? That’s not what you can eat?

But Chen Mingluo also knew that there has always been such a practice in China. Once something is put on the word "political task", you will lose money and be happy.

"It seems that I can't push it off?" Chen Mingluo felt that asking this was almost a nonsense.

"Of course I can't push it off, so I'm in the city of troubled sorrow." Xiao Mingxue replied angrily.

Xiao Mingxue must be quite confused because according to the requirements, pigs supplied to Hong Kong and Macao should look good in appearance, plump buttocks should be full, lean meat rate should be high, and weight should also be required, not exceeding 105 kilograms or less than 95 kilograms.

After the pig lung soup incident broke out in Guangdong and Hong Kong this year, Hong Kong said no to the supply of live pigs in the mainland, but it is difficult to say no. After all, it is impossible not to eat pork. There is no one in Hong Kong to raise such things, so in the end, we have to rely on the mainland to solve this problem.

Therefore, this has given rise to the change in the food safety system in the mainland. Of course, it is only for Hong Kong and Macao. In other words, unlike domestic food safety managed by several departments in segments, it has formed a relatively independent supply to Hong Kong and Macao. A regulatory department has independently supervised the safety of the entire food chain and gradually promoted the remaining food supply to Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, the mainland is a different scene.

Due to the overall demand in Hong Kong and Macao, in order to complete the task, we have carried out modern and intensive production regardless of costs in all aspects. Combined with the local area with a relatively complete legal background and regulatory system, we can naturally ensure that there is no accident. However, in the mainland, such success is difficult to replicate.

The production model in the mainland is relatively backward, and individual farmers with free-range breeding are everywhere, which is very different from the Western modern intensive breeding model. It is difficult to form a unified quality assurance system. It is extremely difficult to supervise the source. If the interests of the acquirer are entangled and the farmers are inseparable, it will often lead to a tragedy of a problem pig defeating the entire market.

"In recent years, in order to ensure the safety of public dining tables, domestic legislation has made significant progress. The introduction of some laws and regulations has helped supervision enter the fast lane of administration according to law. At the same time, the world's largest food supervision team has been established. However, due to the double lag of production methods and regulatory systems, the hidden dangers of food safety are difficult to eliminate." Xiao Mingxue told Chen Mingluo, "Although the regulations are constantly improving, the responsible person is the government, and there are many departments involved, with serious cross-management. When there are interests, they often come out to compete for merit. When there are problems, they will shirke each other. It is far less comfortable to hold officials accountable than to deal with illegal enterprises."

Chen Mingluo nodded and continued casually, "In fact, when central departments perform their duties, they will encounter strong resistance from some local governments. For some local pillar enterprises, large profit and tax owners, government and enterprises, they have built a solid chain of interests, and even the phenomenon of using public health as bargaining chips to combat laws and regulations. One of the consequences of doing this is that when there are no vicious incidents that endanger social stability, many food safety accidents are not seriously investigated, but these problems are actually there."

In fact, Chen Mingluo has always believed that the punishment for violators by relevant domestic regulations is relatively low. For example, the Food Safety Law stipulates that one false compensation is almost an open and unconventional approach to safety accident manufacturers. This punishment is too light.

It is precisely because of this official attitude that domestic food safety issues have repeatedly caused major safety accidents, such as toxic milk powder, gutter oil, toxic rice, toxic steamed buns, toxic lobster, clenbuterol, and other vicious incidents that endanger public safety have occurred frequently, becoming an important factor that undermines the normal operating order of the market and even endangers social stability.

"A major achievement of reform and opening up is to allow the public to eat meat, and most people have low incomes, so pork prices must be regulated. If the production and processing process in the mainland is unified according to Hong Kong and Macao standards, it will inevitably increase the operating costs of enterprises, which will inevitably lead to bankruptcy of many enterprises." Chen Mingluo said, "This has formed a paradox. Mainland enterprises are actively and enthusiastic in providing safe meat to Hong Kong and Macao, but it is often difficult to do their best to the mainland compatriots."

"There is a difference between inside and outside. This kind of thing has existed since ancient times and cannot be changed now." Xiao Mingxue said.

Although he was very dissatisfied with such things, he was also very clear that in a privileged society, such things are inevitable. As long as the people in power have selfish intentions, it is impossible to reverse this differential treatment.

For Xiao Mingxue, it is actually very simple to decide this matter. Since there is something good at the top, just follow it and do it. However, he also knows one thing very well, that is, once Yangshuo takes on this task, it is naturally a good thing for him and can achieve political achievements, but it may not be of any benefit to Yangshuo's breeding industry. Although the price of live pigs specializing in Hong Kong and Macao is slightly higher than that of mainland sales, the costs in other aspects are quite large. If calculated, it is still relatively loss overall.

In pig farms dedicated to Hong Kong and Macao, piglets are cared for in every way like newborn babies. In the walls of the pig farm about three meters high, the pig houses are divided into many functional areas. Breeding pigs are placed in the upper air outlet to reduce the risk of epidemic prevention. When sows are bred, there is a special breeding room. One week before delivery, the sows will enter the delivery room for production. After more than 20 days of delivery, the piglets will be transferred to the nursery room, and then they will be raised in the fattening room, and finally wait to be transported to Hong Kong and Macao.

What is more stringent is the requirement for people. Workers must bathe and change clothes when entering the pig house, wade through a knee-high disinfection pool, enter different functional areas, and disinfect them again.

If workers return to the pig farm after taking leave, they must rest for three days to reduce the risk of carrying infectious diseases.

When inspecting and quarantine personnel come out for inspection, they cannot visit the site, which means they cannot go to this pig farm in the morning and another in the afternoon to avoid cross-infection.

During production, it is required to breed and raise yourself, and all in and out. Pig farms cannot buy piglets and must be bred by themselves. Each batch of pigs must be slaughtered as a whole. The empty pen is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the next batch of pigs can be entered to avoid cross-infection.

Daily production activities of pig farms must be recorded for review by regulatory authorities, conducting clenbuterol tests twice a month, and conducting routine monitoring once a quarter, with more than 40 monitoring projects.

During the beginning of winter and the peak epidemic in late spring, epidemic monitoring must be strengthened.

Even if the pigs raised in this way are not qualified to supply Hong Kong and Macao, it depends on the quality of the pigs. They must look good in appearance, have a plump buttocks and a stronger body to have a chance. In addition, the requirements for lean meat rate are relatively high and there are also weight requirements. You cannot be fat or lose weight.

Overall, at most half of the pigs cultivated in this way are qualified to be sent to Hong Kong and Macao.

Xiao Mingxue felt that if he took on this task, he would probably suffer huge losses from the pig farmers in Yangshuo, so he was always hesitant and didn't know how to make a choice?

"Then just push it-" Chen Mingluo thought it through at this time, and smiled and said to Xiao Mingxue, "If we don't praise that stinky feet, whoever likes to praise whoever they want, why are they better than others? Being second-class citizens for a hundred years, has he now ridden on our heads? There is no such reason!"

"What you said is easy, but it's not that easy--" Xiao Mingxue said with a blank look at Chen Mingluo.

It is okay to turn this off, but what impression does it leave on the superiors? No overall view of the situation? No overall strategic vision? Or is it dissatisfied with the one country, two systems? It seems that it is not so easy to deal with any big hat. At least Xiao Mingxue has not yet figured out how he should deal with this matter.

"Actually, it's very simple. Just say that the climate in Yangshuo is not suitable for pig farming. There is a high chance of swine fever breaking out here-" Chen Mingluo suggested to Xiao Mingxue, "I'll cooperate with you and spread rumors about swine fever, which should be easy to deal with."

"You--" Xiao Mingxue was immediately so angry that he was so angry that he hummed, thinking that he could think of such a bad idea?

Although the two were joking here, Xiao Mingxue received the call soon. After hearing it, his expression became a little strange. He glanced at Chen Mingluo, and then said, "Crow's mouth!"

"It's not true, right?" Chen Mingluo didn't expect that he would make a promise. Could it be that Yangshuo really had swine fever? It's not that coincidental?

"It's not swine fever, it's avian flu-" Xiao Mingxue replied, "But this news should have some negative impact on our choice as a pig base dedicated to Hong Kong and Macao. If it is exaggerated, this matter should be ruined."

"Although Yangshuo can build a pig base, we must first ensure the local supply in Yangshuo. There is no need to act as another pig farm. If it spreads, it will have a bad reputation." Chen Mingluo said, "Our economic development is also very fast, and it will not be inferior to Hong Kong and Macao in a few years. Since this is the case, we will not do some things so that we will not leave a bad word."

Xiao Mingxue replied, "I didn't think so much. I just simply consider things that are not conducive to the interests of the people in Yangshuo, so I naturally cannot agree to it, no matter what the name is used to do."

The two people have a high opinion of this, so they must have a drink for this.

Although Xiao Mingxue doesn't drink alcohol normally, he has already returned home now and occasionally drinks some wine or something to express his feelings. There is a foreign wine sent by Chen Mingluo. The two of them poured a glass of each, and then chatted while drinking, talking about some things circulating in the Yangshuo market.

"Actually, I don't like the taste of this kind of foreign wine very much. Most of them are sour and astringent-" Chen Mingluo took a sip, shook his goblet with his hand, and watched the bright red liquid swaying layers of light red moisturizer in the wine glass, and then said, "The kind of domestic wine I used to drink when I was a child was sweet and delicious, but now everyone is admiring foreign countries and fascinating the foreigners, and their style has changed drastically, but I can't drink that kind of thing. This is a kind of sadness."

In fact, the situation Chen Mingluo mentioned is also a common phenomenon. Although there were many advantageous projects in China in the past, since the opening up, everyone's aesthetic standards have changed. The trend of blindly worshiping foreign countries has become prosperous, and many traditional advantages have been unable to be maintained. Instead, we have to wait and learn from some Western backs and lower our own grades. By doing this, sales have increased significantly, which makes people feel very emotional.

Take wine for example. In the past, the Lanling wine tulips and jade bowls were filled with amber light. It was so precious that it was. Now it is going to turn into sour French red wine and it is very popular. It cannot be said that it is not a kind of historical tragedy.

"In fact, the key is whether the operator can persevere—" Xiao Mingxue has a different view on this. "You can't blame consumers for not buying it, but change your business concept. Many times, the goods are blooming inside and outside the wall, and they are not popular in China, and may not be able to do so abroad. Everyone drinks freshness, and then what historical heritage and ethnic customs are there? Do you think?"

"That's true-" Chen Mingluo nodded and agreed with Xiao Mingxue's words.

When Xiao Xiao came over, he found that his father and Chen Mingluo each brought a large glass of red wine, and were drinking it there, blushing and thick necks, as if he was discussing something.

"Dad, why do you drink so much wine? Didn't the doctor say that you can only drink one small glass a day?" Xiao Xiao quickly took off the cup from Xiao Mingxue's hand, and then glared at Chen Mingluo with very dissatisfaction, obviously protesting against his irresponsible behavior.

"Don't look at me, I was actually forced--" Chen Mingluo immediately raised his hands and confessed to Xiao Xiao.

"You kid are so loyal!" Xiao Mingxue immediately glared at his eyes.
