Chapter 52: A Change of Attitude
He led the two into the living room, and when they sat down, they began to greet each other.
"Two gentlemen, the road from Shanghai to Beiping is not easy to walk, and the road is hard." Cheng Nuo poured tea and said enthusiastically: "There is nothing precious in the cold house to entertain the two, and I hope there are many Haihan." ”
"Where, Professor Cheng's name is unparalleled in the current academic world, the last time the math paper incident has greatly increased the face of the Chinese people, so that when we do business with foreigners, we can't help but raise our voices a little bit, if it weren't for the busy business, I would have wanted to visit Professor Cheng a long time ago." Li Tianfu bowed down to take the tea, very polite.
Zhang Changgui's point of view at this time has not been completely reversed, but in line with the attitude that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, after thanking the tea, he is also complimenting:
"Not only in the academic world, Professor Cheng's contribution in the education sector can also be said to be huge, opened thousands of years of 'female ban', the reason why the little girl can go to the university is thanks to you, before coming to Beiping, the little girl has repeated many times in front of me, I want to come together to thank you, I said that I must make a special trip to thank you another day, so I gave up. Now I regret it a little, I didn't expect that Professor Cheng not only knew people, but also looked good-looking, and they were all peers who should get acquainted. ”
Li Tianfu secretly scolded: The old guy is really not a thing, you weren't so boastful at the door just now, in order to win over people, you still want to sing beauty tricks, real chicken thief, but why didn't I think of it, but it's a pity that the two people in the family brought a child, and now it's too late to be born, go back and see if there is a suitable one for your relatives, and bring it next time.
Looking at the two people opposite through the water vapor, Cheng Nuoxin said that he was worthy of doing business, and he talked about the scene one after another, if it weren't for his strong self-control, I was afraid that he would have to be stunned on the spot.
But the business is important, after a few polite words, Cheng Nuo went straight to the point: "Shanghai is one of the largest flour production centers in our country, and the development momentum has been rapid in recent years. ”
After the two glanced at each other, Li Tianfu took out a folded newspaper from the cowhide bag he carried and put it on the table, opened it and saw that it was the issue of the popular magazine "National" that was selected and bred.
"Based on this article alone, we at the Shanghai Flour Trade Union unanimously feel that Professor Cheng is the first person in agricultural research today, and we can't find a more suitable person other than you."
"As for the ...... of the church schools"
"Because I have a lot of worries about the little girl's education, I should know about the church school, so I'll leave this to me." Zhang Changgui stood up and stopped Li Tianfu in a loud voice: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." ”
Since the momentum of cooperation is unstoppable, I have taken that step, and it is not a bad habit to go to the end in business.
Of course, Zhang Changgui will not admit that he has a daughter who is the same age as Cheng Nuo, which is the reason why he likes him.
"The American Church has a trusteeship that manages all schools in China, provides funding for running schools, and directly controls the power of schools in China." Zhang Changgui hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "When dealing with Roque of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he once inadvertently revealed that the church school was betting on our children after getting drunk, and subtly instilled American ideas, so that they would be biased towards the American position when they became talents in the future. The purpose is too strong, and we don't like it. ”
Cheng Nuo nodded: "Indeed, as Mr. Zhang said, it is better to ask for others than for yourself." ”
"Therefore, Director Zhang and I have come to you, looking for some clever ideas here." Li Tianfu was very polite: "Fortunately, thanks to the great war in the European continents, our small flour mills only have a few years of respite, and now we want to go further, but we have encountered a dilemma that we can't solve." ”
Cheng Nuo asked tentatively: "Is it because the wheat production is not enough, can the supply of raw materials be expanded?" ”
"It's more than that." Li Tianfu shook his head and explained: "There are two difficulties, one is the quality of flour, and the other is the supply of raw materials, which is the one you just mentioned. ”
Zhang Changgui added: "The nature of southern wheat is too soft to produce high-quality wheat flour, and its flour package is also not good, so the wheat flour produced is not of high value and cannot compete with foreign noodles." ”
"Domestic demand is increasing, and foreign countries are also seeking the supply of flour from China, while the supply of wheat is limited, and the flour cannot be produced as much as possible."
With an eager gaze, Li Tianfu pleaded: "The development opportunity is fleeting, we don't want to miss it, after seeing your article, sir, we immediately rushed over, please help us improve our own wheat." ”
The request of the Shanghai Flour Union was in perfect harmony with his own wishes, and Cheng Nuo naturally had no reason to refuse, so he stopped selling Guanzi.
"The two gentlemen will wait for me for a while, and I'll go back as soon as I go."
Back in the study, Cheng Nuo took out the wheat selection and breeding plan that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the two opposite.
The two were very shocked when they received it, but they didn't expect the plan to be prepared early, and read it carefully word by word.
Cheng Nuo waited quietly on the side, the tea was hot and cold, cold and hot, and it was only after changing it four or five times that it was finished.
Li Tianfu's hands trembled a little excitedly: "Professor Cheng, I didn't expect this plan to be so detailed, in my opinion, it is very feasible, and it may even be ahead of foreigners." ”
Zhang Changgui blushed and said: "At the end, I even felt that the golden wheat field appeared in front of my eyes, and the flour in our Shanghai market was sent outside one by one. ”
It's no wonder that they are really Cheng Nuo's wheat selection and breeding plan calligraphy and painting cakes are really good, not to mention that the production process exceeds the times, the ingredients inside are also clearly marked, and even equipped with "high-definition pictures", for the two who have only seen black and white photos, the shock is too great.
Cheng Nuo smiled modestly: "I only played a role in it, and it is more of the credit of all my colleagues in the Academy of Sciences. ”
"It's just very suitable, I decided to invest 50,000 yuan in the first year, so that this plan can be implemented as soon as possible, and ensure that the follow-up years will not be lower than this number." Li Tianfu stretched out five fingers, with ruthlessness on his face.
Zhang Changgui hesitated: "But, these 50,000 ......"
Li Tianfu frowned, and his voice was a little rough: "What, does Director Zhang have any opinions, if you think this number is too big, I can invest in the name of my personal Fuxin Flour Mill." ”
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Zhang Changgui immediately explained: "Although the figure of 50,000 is not small, it is still too little for Professor Cheng, and I am willing to invest another 50,000 yuan in Professor Cheng, especially the Academy of Sciences just mentioned." ”
Out of the shrewdness of a businessman, Zhang Changgui sensitively captured the word "Academy of Sciences", and also saw the huge potential behind him from the plan.
"With Professor Cheng's potential, I believe that the strength is far more than wheat, and over time, I believe that we will be able to achieve greater results. The extra $50,000 is not required for anything else, there is only one condition. ”
"Let's talk about it."
"Under the same conditions, the Academy of Sciences gives priority to cooperation with Zhang."
Li Tianfu scolded again, and he was unwilling to run with him, and he followed the competition, and finally ended the negotiations with 50,000 yuan in wheat and 100,000 yuan in the Academy of Sciences.
Breeding and sowing are also divided into three phases of the project, the first phase of the introduction of foreign excellent seeds for localization; In the second phase, local seeds were selected and the best of the best; In the third stage, crosses are carried out on the basis of the previous stage to breed better wheat seeds.
To this end, it is necessary to purchase 200 acres of land outside Beiping City and Jinling City to be used as experimental fields.
When the time is ripe, we can follow the steps in the plan and extend the new agricultural extension concept to the surrounding areas of the experimental field through Cheng Nuo's new concept of agricultural promotion, so as to achieve the goal of expanding production.
As for the follow-up promotion of Yan Laoxi in Jin Province and the whole country, it is another matter.
However, some people are happy and some are worried, and it is not only the Chinese people who have won the popular issue of "The National".
