    Quarry-workshops are among the scarcest archaeological site-types in China; only the Neolithic localities of Xiqiaoshan in Nanhai County, Guangdong (Guangdong Provincial Museum 1959; Huang et al. 1982; Zhongshan University Investigation Group 1959), and E'maokou^([sic – meaning Emaokou]) in Huairen County, Shanxi (Jia and You 1973), have been investigated to any significant extent.

    If Mengniu had started out in north Shanxi in Shuozhou, it would have violated its identity as a good follower. Instead, Mengniu started in Huairen, even further away from Shuozhou than Shanyin, which was recognized as the centre of milk production in that region. At that particular moment, Huairen had just decided to develop its own dairy industry, knowing that it had to compete with 'sister' counties like Shanyin. In a way, Huairen County was taking on a role as market expander, like Mengniu in the Huhhot region. Starting interactions with a number of parties in north Shanxi, Mengniu was likely to have the most efficient interaction with Huairen. With 'efficient' I mean to say that the interaction between Mengniu and the Huairen County government would more quickly lead to the construction of a sensible environment (Weick 1995: 30-38) than with any other party in that area.
