As soon as Jia Lei entered the door of the research institute, he saw a man pushing an automatic lawn mowing machine, who was still wearing a white coat.

"Hello, is Director Feng Li Ji here?" asked Secretary Hans.

"Who am I looking for?" replied Feng Liji.

"Hello, my name is Jia Lei and I am the new boss of this institute, and these are my colleagues. Jia Lei hurriedly walked out and said enthusiastically that Jia Lei has always worshiped the god of learning.

"Oh, I've heard of you, come in with me!" said Director Feng Liji.

"Okay. Jia Lei followed him inside.

"The environment of your institute is really good, and the flowers are just blooming in April. Jia Lei said politely.

"This is our new technology this year, and the use of special materials for insulated sheds and precisely proportioned nutrient solutions can advance flowering by 2025 days. Director Feng Li Ji said.

"Oh! amazing, really amazing!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"This is just a general level, our institute is at the midstream level internationally, mainly researching pest control and improvement of vegetable and fruit varieties and small farm machinery. Director Feng Li Ji said.

Because their research direction and strength are not high, they are two years behind the research progress of their West German counterparts, and many of the products they are researching in West Germany have already produced results. The reason for this is that the farms and research institutes are not operating well and their performance is at a loss.

"What I said above is the specific situation of our research institute, you must know that the research unit itself is not profitable, our profit model is usually to hand over our patents to cooperative enterprises to produce, and then the enterprises give us patent fees, and most of our research funds come from government special funds. "Director of Feng Li Ji.

"I understand! They forcibly ask a professional unit engaged in scientific research to fight for sales performance, which is immoral!" Jia Lei said with special understanding.

"You actually understand us, you know that there have been a few investors in the past, but as soon as they came, they asked us what patents we had, how much money could we make, and a former peer came to poach us, but I refused! They didn't want to accept our institute at all, they just wanted the patents of our institute. Director Feng Li Ji said that although their patents are not particularly famous, they involve key technologies in several industries.

"My grandfather was a university professor, and he also had a position in their school's research institute, and he used to ask me to help him sort out the materials. Jia Lei said. This is actually a matter of the previous life, and the so-called sorting of materials is actually cleaning.

"My dear grandson, it's a pleasure to meet you!" said an old man, who came out of his office and patted Hans on the back with his arms in his arms.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" asked Secretary Hans.

"I'm here to send samples of new products to the director, and the new varieties of strawberries that we have grown in our greenhouse are ripe and are now ready to be marketed in large quantities. Grandpa Hans said.

"Strawberries are on the market in April, and it seems that they can be sold at a good price. Give me a taste!" Jia Lei said.

"Do you want strawberries to eat? Come with me, eat whatever you want! I can't sell them anyway, so I brought a truckload with me." Grandpa Hans patted Jia Lei on the head and said.

"Grandpa, stop it, this is the new boss can't shoot!" Secretary Hans was so frightened that he hurried to pull Hans's grandfather's arm, the old man had worked all his life as a farmer, and it hurt to pat it lightly.

"Oh! I know, I won't shoot anymore. This is for you to eat, little master, you have eaten my strawberries, remember to help us talk to your dad about good things. Grandpa Hans took Jia Lei to the guard room he came out of, took a small blue strawberry about 4 and stuffed it into Jia Lei's hand.

"Woo! it looks good, I'll taste it!" Jia Lei looked at the big and red strawberry in front of him and drooled, and reached out and took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Boss, how can you eat it like this? He has seen countless young masters from rich families, and Jia Lei is the first one who is so unsophisticated.

"It's okay! Our strawberries are produced in accordance with the highest EU standards and contain very few pesticides! Grandpa Hans waved his hand and said that when they picked strawberries themselves, they ate them directly when they were thirsty and hungry.

"That's not okay either, dust and harmful substances in the air can stick to the surface of the food, so it's best to wash it before eating. Novan said with a straight face, and then he took the initiative to ask the people in the research institute for a basin to help Jia Lei wash strawberries.

"Why are you so troublesome, you don't get sick if you don't eat it!" Jia Lei said as he held a few unwashed strawberries in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Little master, my old Hans likes you, and when you follow the new boss to our farm, I will give you my foal. Old Hans said happily.

"Do you want to give me a pony? Then I'll go now!" Jia Lei said happily.

"Ahem!" Lawyer Farr coughed vigorously twice behind Jia Lei, and Jia Lei's steps that had already taken him back back.

In addition, I have to remind this old Mr. Hans that Young Master Jia Lei is not the son of the new boss, but the new boss himself. Farr said he felt Mr. Jia should not be friends with workers who might be fired, because that would affect Mr. Jia's judgment.

"He's the new boss? How is that possible? He's still a kid?" said Grandpa Hans in disbelief.

"I'm the new boss, and I'm the boss because I'm rich, and it has nothing to do with my age. Jia Lei said.

"Oh!oh!" Grandpa Hans nodded and instinctively took half a step back, he had subconsciously distanced himself from Jia Lei.

"Let's go, you can show me around the institute! I want to see the research and the patents here. Jia Lei hugged the pot with strawberries and said, the researchers, who were originally nervous about the arrival of the new boss, couldn't help but relax when they saw Jia Lei's down-to-earth appearance.

"This is our genetic laboratory, which is responsible for cultivating and screening seeds for various vegetables and fruits. Over there is the virus prevention and control laboratory, and there is also the cultivation room. Director Feng Li Ji took Jia Lei to stand outside the doors of the research rooms and said, this is not as casual as it is shown on TV, and some levels of research rooms need a complete set of disinfection and sterilization processes when they enter it.

So if Jia Lei doesn't want to disinfect over and over again, he can only look outside the door!

"I don't understand these things, do you have an experimental field? Let's go straight to the results of the experiment. Jia Lei said that at least he can still understand the fruit.

"Okay. I'll take you to see the indoor soilless cultivation experiment area first, and then the outdoor greenhouse cultivation room. Director Feng Li Ji said, and then he took Jia Lei to push open a door and walk in.

"Smack!" half a strawberry fell from Jia Lei's mouth to the ground and rolled to the side, Jia Lei's eyes widened as he looked at the strange plant world in front of him like the pumpkin garden of the Harry Potter world.

"Is this a sweet potato?" Jia Lei said as he stood at the door and looked at a sweet potato tree, staring at the flower pots on the sweet potato tree in amazement.

The so-called sweet potato tree is actually composed of dozens of sweet potato vines tied to steel pillars!

"Yes, I like to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so I raised a few in the laboratory, this sweet potato variety I accidentally got from an old man in the country, and I have been planning to cultivate it for the past few years. This sweet potato is roasted and fragrant and sweet, and it also exudes syrup. Director Feng Li Ji looked at the sweet potato tree and said.

"Then why don't you promote it?" Jia Lei asked, looking at the sweet potato vines that were fixed on the metal support.

"Ordinary citizens only like to eat potato chips or fries, and this variety of sweet potatoes is slender and not suitable for making chips and fries, so it has no promotion value. Director Feng Li Ji said as he led them inside.

"Then why do you want to drop flower pots on the steel frame?" asked Pete in surprise.

"Sweet potatoes grow in the soil, even if we can use nutrient solution to do soilless cultivation, we must prepare some necessary soil for the production of sweet potato pieces, which can shade the light and increase nutrients. Director Feng Li Ji said.

"Why don't you just plant it in the soil?" asked Richard.

"I hate digging pits! It's so easy to plant in a pot, when you want to eat it, just pick up a pot and pour out the soil and sweet potatoes inside. Director Feng Li Ji said.

"But," Novan just wanted to say that it was inappropriate, but he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't speak.

"Well, these tomatoes are growing well! Jia Lei walked to the experimental field and said.

"Can you still eat these tomatoes?" asked Pete, looking at the pile of orange, green, purple, and even black tomatoes in front of him.

"Of course you can eat it! And it tastes sweet and sour. The researchers in the laboratory said at a glance that they were all frightened.

"The research results are good, but the research direction is wrong!" Jia Lei said, pointing at Jiangshan with his finger behind his back.

In the previous life, there were a lot of these messy things, and colored tomatoes were also popular for a while, but the particularly strange colors quickly disappeared from the market, and only a few small ones were still on sale.

"Huh, you said that the research direction is wrong, what is wrong?" Fengli Ji asked with a frown, their products are very good in taste and yield, and they have also obtained many patents, but the seeds cannot be sold.

"Hey, no wonder you're losing money, this research direction is wrong, no matter how delicious the new varieties that come out in the end, no one will buy them. Because the market doesn't recognize it!" Jia Lei said.

"So what do you think we should look into?" said Feng Liji.

"Of course it's cherry tomatoes!" Jia Lei said without hesitation.

"What is cherry tomatoes?" asked Director Feng Liji.

"It's the tomatoes, and your latest research direction should be to reduce the size rather than increase the yield or increase the income! I suggest that you go and look for the earliest tomato plants, and then study new varieties of tomatoes that are the size of pigeon eggs and have a pure taste in a variety of common colors. Jia Lei said.

You must know that ordinary tomatoes are sold at the price of vegetables, and small tomatoes that have changed their names and surnames are sold at the price of fruits. The price of this can be a zero difference!

"Okay, I'll let the people below study in this direction. But will this research direction be successful? How should such a small tomato be eaten?" asked Director Feng Li Ji puzzled.

"Of course it will be successful, why don't I do an experiment for you!" Jia Lei said.
