Ye Huaxi is very famous in the field of botanical research. In addition to holding important positions, he has also served as an expert of the IUCN Species Conservation Committee, a director of the branch of the Chinese Botanical Society, and the secretary general of the Wild Plant Conservation Association.

In recent years, Professor Ye has been focusing on the research of insectivorous plants, especially endangered species, and is the first person in this field in China.

This time, he led a national-level delegation to visit, and he was low-key enough as soon as possible, and still caused a sensation in W City.

The W City Research Institute, the Botanical Garden, the Garden Center, the Forestry Bureau and other departments were all shocked and came to greet them.

The other party's position is very high, his status in the field is extraordinary, and he is representing the National Botanical Garden to inspect, that feeling is like the central leadership coming to the municipal unit to inspect, although it is a bit exaggerated, but the degree of attention can be imagined.

As the director of the botanical garden being inspected, Ye Han is naturally the one who attracts attention when he stands with everyone.

Almost everyone was secretly looking at her and was shocked by her youth.

Who can stand here and have a certain identity and status who is not in their thirties and forties, Ye Han stands with them, and he has a sense of standing out from the crowd.

And she is tall and beautiful, which is already eye-catching, and when I heard that she is the director of the flower collection that has been very popular recently, I all cast surprised eyes at her.

The girl in front of me, who looks like she is only in her early 20s, is actually the director of the flower collection?!

This、This is also young, right??

Although the garden has been open for less than a year, the achievements are obvious to all.

The birth of two Guinness records, the cultivation of a rare two-color Wanvesa, the spring of the ancient peach tree, and the silver silk top peony that was named by the official media just two weeks ago...... Any one of these results is impressive enough.

Researchers who have never seen Ye Han himself imagine in their minds that they are at least forty or fifty years old, experienced and courageous; At first glance, when I saw the young girl with outstanding temperament in front of me, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and I couldn't connect her with the identity of the head of the flower house.

And this just shows that Ye Han is excellent.

The achievements that others may not be able to achieve in half a lifetime.

So before the arrival of the delegation led by Professor Ye Huaxi, Ye Han became the absolute focus here.

"Director Ye, your rescue work on the ancient peach tree is really good, and there are also a few dead ancient trees in XX Park in our jurisdiction that need urgent treatment, if you have time, can you discuss it."

"Director Ye, our research team is doing research on the genetic factors of the two-color Wanvesa, can you take a sample when it opens this year? Just a little bit of it. ”

……

Even the director of the Forestry Bureau was very kind: "The flower market is developing very well, and I heard that it will be expanded recently. If you have any problems with the introduction of plants in the future, just mention it, and I will try to help you solve it. ”

Ye Han smiled and said, "Thank you, Director." ”

This sentence carries a lot of weight.

It is almost equivalent to the meaning of giving the green light to the flower collection all the way, and all kinds of approval procedures will be much easier in the future.

Bi Jinghui, the director of the W City Botanical Garden, and Jin Peng, the deputy director, looked at Ye Han, who was surrounded by everyone, and they couldn't say anything in their hearts, in short, no

Too comfortable.

Before the Flower Fair opened (), they were the only botanical garden in W City▊()▊『Come to []*See the latest chapter*Complete chapters』(), and they are at the national 4A level, with a transcendent status.

The new varieties developed by the institute are all experimented with and cultivated by them, and the exchanges with other botanical gardens and the wild plants collected will also be transplanted to their botanical gardens.

However, since the Guinness Book of World Records for the king lotus cultivated in the flower collection, some resources have been allocated to each other, such as the new variety of water lily 'Canjin' and the Central African comet orchid, which have not even been introduced.

Obviously, they are the orthodox botanical garden of W City, built by the government with a huge amount of money, and the plant species and area in the garden far exceed each other, no matter how you say that the resources should be tilted towards them.

Today's tourists are also diverted, especially this year.

A large number of tourists flock to the flower fair, and it is said that there is a queue every day; And their botanical garden is only more crowded on weekends, and there are basically no people on weekdays.

If it weren't for the Flower Collection, their business would certainly not be as bleak as it is now.

Although the 4A botanical garden is a non-profit and more important role in maintaining species diversity and ex-situ conservation of endangered plants, it is undeniable that fiscal revenue is also very important, and all projects cannot rely on government funding.

Besides, if there are no tourists, how can they get to know the plants?

The opening of the science museum is also meaningless.

As the principal, Bi Jinghui was quite anxious when he thought of this.

When the garden first opened, he never took the other party seriously, because it was far inferior to the W City Botanical Garden in terms of geographical location, scale, facilities and plant species; Now, however, he has to admit that the other party does have a set.

Unfortunately, a private botanical garden is a private botanical garden after all, always putting marketing and making money first.

The original meaning of opening a botanical garden has been lost.

Since its establishment, has Huajian set up its own professional research laboratory and achieved any research results?

Have you ever saved even one endangered plant?

The surrounding area is selling very well.

It's a pity that all the money earned goes to the pockets of individuals and capital, and is not used for the development and construction of the botanical garden.

Their research team has overcome many problems in the cultivation process of rare orchids this year, and it is expected that relevant academic reports and papers will be published by the end of the year.

Bi Jinghui believes that a national-level researcher of such a respected status as Professor Ye would not appreciate a private botanical garden like Huajianji, which only cares about profits.

This is not in line with the original intention of opening a botanical garden.

And their 4A-level botanical garden, it would be a great honor to be able to discuss a research issue with Professor Yip.

When the time comes, the scientific research results at this stage will be reported, and it may be listed in the national department, and its status in W City will also rise.

Thinking of this, Bi Jinghui's inner boredom dissipated a lot, and he even faintly looked forward to the arrival of the expedition team.

Professor Ye Huaxi led four doctoral researchers to W City, and when he saw more than ten people receiving him at a glance, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He has always disliked this kind of pomp, there is no need.

Dr. Hou and others are quite excited, and they have only seen this big guy in relevant publications or interviews, and they have a kind of excitement to see idols at this time.

() If it weren't for the wrong occasion, you might even be able to go up and ask for an autograph.

Seeing the visitor, the director of the Forestry Bureau warmly greeted him, "Professor Ye, welcome to W City with the delegation." ”

Ye Huaxi's attitude was very reserved, and it could even be said to be cold: "It's bothered." ”

He swept his gaze and saw Ye Han standing not far away, nodded at her, and then said to the doctoral student behind him, "Go to the hotel first." ”

The four doctoral researchers are all geniuses of the research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they are usually quite arrogant, but they admire Ye Huaxi very much, and they say respectfully: "Okay, professor." ”

The group quickly left, and the others didn't even say a word.

Everyone's expressions were slightly embarrassed, knowing that it might be their own welcome that caused the big guy to be unhappy, and no one dared to say anything.

In fact, the whole thing really has nothing to do with them, and the team led by Professor Ye wants to investigate the Flower Set.

So his eyes once again focused on Ye Han.

Liang Jian'an, director of the Forestry Bureau, asked with a smile: "Xiao Ye, have you made an appointment with Professor Ye?" ”

"I just found out that the two of you have the same surname, and it seems that you are very fateful."

Ye Han smiled lightly: "Yes, it's really a coincidence." The director can rest assured that an appointment has been made, and the Flower Fair will be closed tomorrow morning to receive the delegation. ”

In fact, Professor Yip's assistant contacted Wang Yun at the beginning of the month, and decided not to come after winning the Guinness World Record, but to make arrangements in advance.

Therefore, on the ticketing APP, Flower Fair has also suspended ticket sales for a long time.

There should be a small number of on-site ticket buyers tomorrow morning, but the number is smaller, and it is more likely that they will go to the peony garden, which will not affect the delegation's visit to the insectivorous plant area of the exhibition greenhouse.

Liang Jian'an, director of the Forestry Bureau: "That's good. ”

Judging from the performance just now, Professor Ye didn't want them to go over at all, so it was better not to participate.

Bi Jinghui looked at Professor Ye's departing back and opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth tightened.

This time, I didn't even say a word, how to let the W City Botanical Garden be named in front of the other party.

Tomorrow......

Let's see if we can go to the flower market with us.

After he went back, he found Director Liang alone: "Director, Director Ye Yuan is too young, and I am afraid that he is inexperienced in receiving national-level delegations, can you let me follow me tomorrow?"

It just so happened that the research team had some questions for Prof. Ye. ”

Although Ye Huaxi, the big man, looks very dignified, he is very responsible in scientific research, and basically does not refuse the questions raised by others, and occasionally goes to the forum to answer some questions about the post.

In this regard, he is quite a scholar.

Liang Jian'an thought about it and felt that it was feasible: "Then I'll talk to a few doctoral students under the professor, and you can go over if it's no problem." ”

Bi Jinghui: "Thank you, Director. ”

He immediately asked the research team leader to report on the progress made so far and prepare for tomorrow.

In this respect, the Flower Sets are far inferior to their botanical gardens.

……

On the other hand, Ye Han also attached great importance to this investigation.

Professor Ye is the first person in China to specialize in the field of insectivorous plants, and apart from him, Ye Han could not find a better expert to consult on the reproduction of Nepenthes malayan king and Nepenthes yuandu

Title. ()

Moreover, as a director of the branch of the Chinese Botanical Society, he is not only involved in a single field, but also has extensive research on other plants.

The reason why a big guy is a big guy is that he can achieve extraordinary achievements in various fields within his limited time and energy, and he is both a genius and an all-rounder.

Ye Han thought about it and decided to let Dr. Yu follow him tomorrow.

As fellow researchers, they should have more topics to talk about, and maybe they can get some inspiration from the direction of the project.

It's good for both parties.

After receiving the news, Dr. Yu was unusually excited.

When he was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he had listened to each other's lectures, and Professor Ye's lectures in various colleges and universities were very popular. After going abroad, he also read the articles published by the other party in international journals and benefited a lot.

It was a height that he could not reach in his lifetime.

The other researchers, even Dr. Cai, all looked at Yu Siming with envious eyes.

The opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the big guy is really rare, and anyone else will be happy about it.

A bigwig of this level actually came to Huajian to inspect in person, and this honor is not enjoyed by few botanical gardens.

The director is really amazing.

Ye Han's status in the minds of researchers has risen again.

Yu Siming glanced at the list and found that two of the doctoral students brought by Professor Ye this time were from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in other words, they were also his juniors, only a few years younger than him.

I really feel a little envious in my heart.

But a few years after Yu Siming graduated, he was hired to work at the Institute of Country M with a high salary, and he also got the treatment he wanted, and he had nothing to regret.

And now in Huajianji, whether it is the working environment, the advanced degree of equipment or the salary, it is far beyond the market level, and now there is still a chance to contact a big man like Professor Ye, and he couldn't be more satisfied with this job.

Yu Siming was very glad that he had come to the Flower Fair, and was fully prepared for tomorrow's meeting.

*

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Professor Ye led the delegation to the entrance of No. 2 Huajianji, and Bi Jinghui came earlier, arriving less than 7:30 o'clock.

Ye Han and Yu Siming received the group.

Yu Siming took a deep breath and took the initiative to introduce himself.

Professor Ye didn't say much, and a doctoral researcher named Fu Qingyuan next to him glanced at him, with a slight surprise and a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

That's right, he is Yu Siming's 'junior' on the list, an alumnus of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has been under the same mentor.

At the beginning, Yu Siming, as a genius of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was praised by more than one tutor, and his research achievements were remarkable, and the deeds of being hired to go to country M with a high salary were also circulated on campus, and he was regarded as the number one person.

At that time, how many juniors and sisters envied that the annual salary of one million + high-end experimental environment was almost the dream job treatment of every doctoral student.

However, there are many talents in China, and there are very few people who can achieve it.

However, now, Fu Qingyuan glanced at this senior brother, with a slight disdain in his heart, and a faint pleasure of suppressing the other party emerged.

I really didn't expect the other party to fall into such a situation and work as a researcher in a private botanical garden?

It's really not what it used to be.

Even though the professor said that the botanical garden of this expedition

() Not ordinary, but no matter how it is, it is also a private botanical garden, located in a second- and third-tier city like W City.

And their work in the National Botanical Garden in the capital, their career establishment, whether their salary or package is still higher than that of other botanical gardens, and they follow Professor Ye to do projects, which is an honor that no one else can obtain.

No matter how you compare, they are several times stronger than each other.

This senior Yu Siming is really a pity.

……

Ye Han took the group to the exhibition greenhouse.

It is now the end of April, the temperature has warmed up to more than 20 degrees, and the sun is not too bright, which is a more suitable temperature.

The 'glass curtain walls' of the exhibition greenhouse dome are opened to different angles, automatically adjusting the light and temperature, and the ventilation effect is good, like a spring breeze, mixed with the freshness of the grass and trees, without the slightest sense of stuffiness.

It's easy to feel the difference from other exhibition greenhouses.

The set design of rockery waterfalls, climbing vines and green plants, small bridges and flowing water, and the signs of the five major landscape areas made Bi Jinghui, who came for the first time, involuntarily look around, and quickly retracted his gaze after noticing.

It's just an exhibition greenhouse, and they have a botanical garden, so it's not unusual.

The insectivorous plant area is on the left-hand side, and a group of eight people walked in this direction.

Then Qi Qi stood in front of the glass window and was stunned.

Nepenthes malayan.

As professionals, everyone standing here recognizes this plant.

However, this rare Nepenthes has never been so lush due to the limitations of geography, climate, temperature, humidity, etc.

The two Nepenthes Malayan kings, which were originally clinging to the thick trunks of the trees, continued to climb along the branches after reaching a certain height, wrapping around them like vines.

From bottom to top, each leaf is more than a meter, extremely wide and thick, and the end of the leaf hangs a huge insect trap cage that is basically 20-30 cm, and one by one it hangs down, and it seems that you can hear the sound of water shaking inside.

The largest insect trap erected on the ground is even larger in size, measuring 44 centimeters!

It is like a light red water tank with a pattern placed here, wide and fat, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a volume of 3.8 liters, which contains nearly 3 liters of digestive juice, and small insects will drown even if they are not corroded by the digestive juice.

It's huge.

6 catties of digestive juice take a lot of effort to carry by hand.

No one in the delegation had ever seen such a huge insect trap, not even Professor Ye Huaxi had never seen one, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.

This is the Guinness World Record winning insect trap, which is truly extraordinary and visually stunning.

The National Botanic Garden introduced Nepenthes malayan four years ago, and it took more than half a year to restore it, and then it was carefully cultivated for three years, and the largest insect trap was 34 cm, which caused a sensation at the time.

As the first botanical garden to introduce and cultivate this rare pitcher plant, all the researchers were very satisfied with the fact that they were able to raise an insect trap of this size.

They have perfectly overcome the restrictions of origin, making them successfully cultivated in China, the first of its kind in China. No matter how well you take care of it, you can't grow to the same size as your country of origin, right?

However, Hanamaji directly broke the highest record of origin.

The 44 cm insect trap is 10 cm higher than the National Botanical Garden, nearly a third of the height!

This is not a small gap that can be broken with hard work.

Fu Qingyuan looked at the numbers on the ruler and felt this feeling of being crushed for the first time.

At that time, Professor Ye Huaxi was already the head of the insectivorous plant direction, and they were also involved in the research and cultivation of Nepenthes maleika.

Although he was not the core personnel of the project, he was also honored and celebrated in private.

However, now, looking at the numbers in front of him and the Guinness record next to him, Fu Qingyuan's heart was very embarrassed, he felt a sense of shame like a clown, and his face was hot.

What the hell were they complacent about?!
