"Master, how high can your corn seed yield be now?" A peeping voice suddenly sounded in my head

"According to the seed company, as long as the fertilizer and water can be guaranteed, there is no problem with 1,500 catties per mu of real estate."

"Oh, that's pretty average."

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by peeping at the sky,

"I mean, master, you could have a better choice for other crops that are more productive."

"You mean potatoes or something?"

"No, but here, what is now commonly known as wheat, which is much more productive than your corn."

"What? No, the yield of wheat per mu is only about 1,000 catties, and the yield of 12,300 catties in places with good fertilizer and water conditions is up to the sky, how can it be higher than corn? ”

"It's true that the yield of wheat you grow now is indeed not high, but I am not talking about the current wheat, but in ancient times, when wheat produced two or even three ears, and if you think about it, a wheat stalk has two to three ears, so how can the yield not be high?"

Wang Chao gasped

"You should have heard a story that has been passed down for a long time, or it can be said to be a legend: legend has it that in ancient times, people planted to produce double ears and three ears, and people had enough food and clothing, and they did not want to make progress, anyway, some of them were food to eat. Emperor Tianhao dressed up as an old man in his last years to inspect the folk customs in the world, only to see that the ridges in the field were heavy and the stalks were bent, and the people were all white and fat, with a smile on their faces, not only for the ability to serve the farmland. After a long journey that day, I was a little hungry, so I went to a farmer's door and begged for some food. I knocked on the door, and a peasant woman in her thirties came out, followed by a child. Emperor Haotian explained his intentions, hoping to ask for something to eat, but he didn't expect the woman to change her face and insult the emperor for taking care of children at home at such an age. shouldn't come out again, and said that even if you take things out and feed them to the dogs, they won't give you food, and after speaking, they took the white-flour steamed buns in the hands of the doll who followed behind them and threw them to the dogs in the yard. The emperor was very angry when he saw this, and lowered his punishment to no longer let Houji look for crops in the world, but Houji was worried that there would be a famine in the world, so he secretly changed the original double and triple ears of wheat to one head, so since then all the people in the world have been one ear."

Wang Chao was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be such a legend, "According to what you say, there is really such wheat?" Can. Even now, I can't find it."

"Hehe, master, since I said it, there must be seeds, but this kind of seed can't be circulated outside, if you want, I can give you some and let you try planting, but you have to remember. Harvested planting can only be planted within a certain range of land you have demarcated, and cannot be planted on any land outside."

"This ready-made island is the best place to test, so I tell someone to stop planting corn, and plant the kind of wheat you said?"

"Huh. I don't have many seeds of this kind, I can't plant so much, ten acres is enough, and then you can leave ten acres of blank land."

Wang Chao agreed. So he made a house with five or six pockets for 10 acres of land. In addition, let the planter leave ten acres of open space near the small hill to prepare for other crops.

On the morning of the third day. The corn sowing was completed, and all 1,500 acres of land were planted with high-yield corn.

Compared with ordinary wheat, the wheat seed is a full third long, and what is even more peculiar is that the germ of the wheat is actually double-headed. Ordinary wheat has a germ at one end and a radicle at the other, but all of this seed is a germ, which is an eye-opener for Wang.

Ten acres of land, soon sown to the end, this afternoon there was a rain, rain moistened the island, Wang Chao is full of expectations for the double-headed super wheat.

In the evening, he left Tianyi Island and returned to the mainland, and was on his way back to Yanjing, when he suddenly received a call from Cao Aoxue, asking him to go to her club at noon tomorrow to talk about the last time, and said that this time someone in the family would come forward to formally negotiate with him.

Wang Chao smiled slightly: It seems that in the face of huge political achievements and interests, the Cao family has also chosen the road of cooperation.

The next day according to the appointment time to the club, today's club quiet, no usual noise, although there are not too many people usually, but today is exceptionally quiet, there are only two inconspicuous two cars parked in the parking space outside, one of them, looks no different from the Passat, but take a closer look, not only secretly inhaled the cold air - Phaeton, the legendary Volkswagen out of the top low-key car, this car roof is almost nearly 2 million yuan, belongs to a super luxury car, not ordinary people sit.

The light car knocked on the door, and someone opened it from the inside, it was a flat-headed, bright-eyed young man, who looked plainclothes at first glance, "My name is Wang Chao, and I made an appointment with Miss Cao."

The man nodded, let him in, then closed the door again, and sat down on a stone bench beside him.

Wang Chao walked into the courtyard gently, and when he was in the courtyard, he found that there were already people talking in the room, one of them was Cao Aoxue, and the other was a middle-aged man's voice, "Second uncle, don't worry, there won't be any problems cooperating with him, he can be trusted."

Wang Chao deliberately stomped into the room, heard footsteps outside, the two stopped talking, Cao Aoxue pushed the door and invited him in.

"Wang Chao, let me introduce to you, this is my second uncle, who is currently the main person in charge of our Cao family, and today he is mainly talking to you; Second uncle, this is Wang Chao and Mr. Wang"

"Mr. Cao is lucky" stepped forward and shook his hand.

Since Cao Aoxue did not introduce the other party's position, she had to call the other party by the popular "sir", this person is about forty years old, his eyes are bright, his figure is tall, his face is not angry and arrogant, and he looks like a person who has been in the top position for a long time.

"You may be seated. You are Xiao Wang, I always hear the Aoxue sisters mention you, it's better to be famous than to meet, you are young and talented, and your career is also good"

"Mr. Cao, you have won the award, I am a junior in front of you, please give me more advice" replied to the other party without humility or arrogance.

"Okay, then let's get down to business, I heard that you want to invest in a desalination project in eastern Hebei Province?"

"Yes, I now have a certain technical and cost advantage, and now there is a project in Caofeidian that is about to be completed, and I have applied for direct supply of domestic water to Yanjing residents, so it can be said that there is no technical obstacle."

The other party nodded, "You want to expand your investment in Jidong Province, which is a good thing." However, the payback time of the investment will be long, and as a private company, aren't you worried about the risks? ”

"Hehe, this is also the main reason why I want to talk to you, competition factors, cost factors, capital factors are not a problem, I believe in the strength of our company, but some human factors are not easy to control, such as policy factors and so on"

"Jidong Province is a large province with a shortage of water and drought, but it is also a large agricultural province, and it is a last resort to issue a document this year prohibiting the exploitation of groundwater for irrigation of farmland. If we don't do it well, we will become sinners in history, and we will also tremble and walk on thin ice. However, if it is used as agricultural water, your price is too high, I am afraid that farmers can't afford to use it, a ton of water costs more than 2 yuan, and the water for watering an acre of land costs more than 400 yuan, not to mention planting ordinary corn and wheat, even if you grow vegetables, fruits and other efficient crops, I am afraid you can't afford it."

"yes. However, as the price of desalination, this price is almost the lowest price in China."

"Well, I've heard reports about this and know that the cost of desalination is high. It's really not too expensive, but it's really unaffordable for farmers to use it in agriculture. Now farmers use river water or former groundwater to water their fields, and the cost of one mu of land is only twenty or thirty yuan. When the time comes, they may prefer not to plant or simply depend on the sky for food than to use your water."

"Then Mr. Cao, what do you mean......" Seeing that the other party did not seal the door of cooperation, he knew that there were other meanings, so he continued to ask tentatively

"Look at this. You try to lower the price a little more, and I can help you fight for industrial water, especially in some industrial parks, where the water consumption is still very large."

"What about the water for residents? The desalinated water is completely drinkable, even comparable to the quality of pure water, and there are no problems"

"Well, let's talk about residential water, which involves the interests of tap water supply, and it needs to be carefully coordinated, but it is not impossible."

Subsequently, the two sides negotiated some specific cooperation content and the interests of both sides, and discussed for nearly three hours before reaching a preliminary agreement: the basic pipe network will be built by the local government, but the long-distance water pipeline will be jointly funded by the city and county water supply and Wang Chao Company to invest in the construction, in principle, it is state-owned, but this right will be delegated to the hands of each city and city government, and the province will not interfere too much.

In terms of time, in three years, the urban water pipeline network within 200 kilometers of the coast will be preliminarily built, which can further reduce the consumption of groundwater.

Wang Chao preliminarily calculated that the annual water consumption of industrial and residential water in cities within 200 kilometers of the coast exceeds that of agricultural water, and will not be less than 150-20 billion tons of water per year, and the price acceptance ability of these target customers far exceeds that of agriculture.

Moreover, with the acceleration of the country's implementation of the new urbanization construction, the urban population will increase, the consumption of water resources will also be more and more, and in the long run, profits will rise steadily.

Although the two sides did not sign any specific agreement, but this kind of cooperation is in the hearts of both sides, and it is of great benefit to each other, so when leaving, Mr. Cao kindly held Wang Chao's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, your generation is the hope of the future country, I hope that you will not forget your social responsibility while making money while running a business, and take a long-term view, so that the company can go more stable and farther."

Wang Chao repeatedly said that he would never live up to the expectations of the other party, work hard, and contribute his modest efforts to eastern Hebei Province.

"Okay, I see that your face does not change color and your heart does not beat in front of my second uncle, you are very calm", and when the people left, Cao Aoxue resumed her previous activity and joked with him

"What's so exciting about this, it's not like I've never experienced this kind of scene, but to be honest, your second uncle's aura is really full, I think ordinary people will behave in front of him"

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Cao Aoxue left Wang Chao after eating.

In the morning, due to talking with the other party, the phone trial was on mute, and when it came out, it was taken out to see that there were three missed calls, the first one was from his hometown; The second was called by Wang Jinshan of the China Petroleum Group, and the third was called by the second child who had not been in contact for a long time

After thinking about it, I first replied to Wang Jinshan, "Minister Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately... Hehe, the news is spreading so fast, okay, I will definitely send you a wedding card and candy in advance, you remember to prepare a red envelope in advance, hahaha... Okay, I'm not poor with you, I know you're busy here, what's the matter? …… My oil wells have not been exploited yet, in the near future I plan to recruit some skilled people to start work, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to open it then, hehe, no matter how much oil is produced, I understand your favor, and I hope you will give more advice in the future...... Really, that's great, thank you so much...... Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you, I'll visit him tomorrow," he hung up the phone

It turns out that the bidding for waste oil wells in the spring of the China Petroleum Group has ended, and now the China Petroleum Group has notified these enterprises and individuals who have won the bid to start oil production, which can be regarded as a "friendship of landlords".

Wang Chao thought about it, the things around him have not been over recently, this matter has really been delayed, thinking about the huge oil field underground, he can't sit still, and he is ready to find someone to exploit.

But this work is not ordinary people can do, must have experienced people with it, this is different from drilling wells, although it is a waste oil well, but the underground situation is very different, in case of a blowout, there will be a life accident if it is not good, so it is necessary to find people in the industry.

But this kind of person is generally in central enterprises and large refining and chemical enterprises, and there are few such people in the society, so Wang Jinshan just said that he would recommend someone to him, and Wang Chao is indeed very grateful to others.

Wang Jinshan recommended this is an old oilman, who has worked in Daqing for oil production and secondary exploitation of waste oil wells in the Tarim Oilfield, and can be described as experienced, both in theory and practice, and is a figure in charge of his own affairs.

But such a character is not good at drilling, in the company offended people, forced to handle the internal retreat in advance, but for a middle-aged man who has just forty-eight, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, although his physical fitness has gone downhill, but his experience is at his peak.

This person's surname is Gu, called Gu Jianguo, a native of Cangshi City, Eastern Hebei Province, he has a good personal relationship with Wang Jinshan, so recommending him to Wang Chao is a win-win situation, which not only solves the problem of Wang Chao's lack of talents, but also helps old friends find a new job, and closes the relationship between him and Wang Chao and him and Gu Jianguo.
