Chapter 243 Game
Chapter 243 Game
After Coaster stopped, more than twenty people got off.
The seat was packed.
There were a few small cars behind, and many people got off.
Some are from the province, and some are from the city.
A leader from the provincial department came, and several experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences also came.
After an introduction, the expert who came down was named Cheng, and he looked to be in his fifties and was an expert from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
He has a bunch of titles and sounds very impressive.
We shook hands and exchanged greetings.
Expert Cheng was obviously a little surprised by Jiang Ning's youth and asked, "How old is Mr. Jiang this year?"
Jiang Ning said: "Twenty-seven."
Expert Cheng exclaimed: "You are young and promising!"
Jiang Ning chuckled twice and asked, "Should we go upstairs and sit for a while or go for a tour first?"
Everyone sees a specialist.
Expert Cheng said: "Let's go see the experimental field first!"
So I turned around, got in the car, and went to the experimental field.
Jiang Ning also boarded the Coaster and served as a tour guide.
Introduce the farm situation along the way.
When we arrived at the field, Zhang Bo and several researchers were already waiting.
After Jiang Ning introduced them, Zhang Bo was a little excited.
I was also a little reserved when shaking hands with Expert Cheng.
Obviously he knew the name of this expert Cheng.
Expert Cheng went to the field and bent over to personally inspect the wheat plants.
A group of people spread out on both sides, watching the strange scene.
This isn't the first time I've seen you, I've been here before.
Expert Cheng asked several professional questions.
Of course Jiang Ning couldn't answer it, so Zhang Bo was responsible for answering it.
He only knows the basics of breeding and cultivating these things.
I can't answer questions that are too professional.
Expert Cheng asked very detailed questions, especially about the mother plant breeding. He wanted to know everything from how the wheat variation was discovered and when it was discovered to the several times of cultivation, selection and breeding as well as the soil and climate conditions and other aspects of the experimental process.
How would Jiang Ning know these things?
Zhang Bo knew it all, it was all in his head.
He answered every question and looked very confident.
Expert Cheng asked for a long time, and finally asked: "What is the highest yield of your trial planting?"
Zhang Bo said: "Previously, the yield of artificially cultivated fine seeds was about four catties per square meter, and the theoretical yield per mu can reach 2700 catties. These 2000 mu of wheat are mechanized, and the yield is definitely not as high as the experimental field. Our goal is to produce catties per mu."
Expert Cheng asked: "Are there any seeds? Let me see!"
Zhang Bo said: "Yes, he is in the research institute!"
Expert Cheng said: "Then let's go to the research institute!"
So the group got back in the car and went to the research institute.
The research institute is not far away, only one kilometer away.
Expert Cheng got out of the car and looked around, then said with a smile, "Your environment is really nice."
Jiang Ning said: "It's just that we planted a few more trees."
After entering the first floor, we came to a standard seed storage room.
There are two rows of shelves on both sides, with many glass jars on the shelves.
The jars were filled with various kinds of wheat, probably hundreds of different kinds.
Some are big, some are small, some are flat, and some are round.
There are no less than ten kinds of standard seeds of the Xianling No. 1 species alone.
Zhang Bo took a glass jar, opened it, and took out a few seeds to show to Cheng: "This is the mother plant of the Xianling No. 1 variety that we selected in the best condition. There are not too many of them. We planted about 20 square meters in another experimental field."
Expert Cheng took a few seeds and took a look.
Then he placed it in his palm and spread out his hand for a closer look.
The seeds are very large, and the wheat grows like beans.
But judging from the shape, it is undoubtedly wheat.
Expert Cheng was amazed, as he had been studying wheat for his entire life.
This is the first time I have seen wheat this big.
When asked about several ingredient data, Zhang Bo answered them fluently.
After visiting the standard seed storage room, we went to visit the laboratory.
After a round, it was already past half past five and it was almost time for dinner.
Lu Jingwei suggested that they eat first, and Expert Cheng did not object.
So we got on the bus and went to Bei'an Hotel and had dinner there.
I accompanied him for dinner and then sent the expert to the guest room.
A group of people went for a walk and watched the night view of Bei'an.
Jiang Ning wanted to run, but was stopped.
What's so beautiful about the night view of a small county town?
The new city area is a bit better, but the county hotel is in the old city, so I can hardly see it.
But the leaders were enthusiastic.
Walked along the road for a while.
The provincial department leader then said: "Xianling Farm is incredible. It has made a great contribution to the province."
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
The leader said: "From the current status of agricultural development, Hexi is also a major agricultural province, but in the field of agricultural research, we are indeed lagging behind the Central Plains, Shandong and other provinces. From the perspective of geography and climate, Hexi also has plains suitable for agricultural cultivation, and the sunshine time is even longer than that of major agricultural provinces such as the Central Plains and Shandong, which is also suitable for growing wheat. However, in the practical production process, some of our technical indicators are far inferior to others. Water shortage and drought are certainly an important factor, but we are indeed inferior to others in breeding good varieties. We have not been able to breed high-yield grain varieties suitable for the local area. Your Xianling No. 1 variety is very good."
Jiang Ning asked, "Is there a bonus?"
The leader twitched his face and said, "I'll approve some research funding for you later. You must produce results."
Jiang Ning said: "We have already achieved results!"
The leader said: "It is not enough for you to just grow it here. You also need to be able to promote it on a large scale. Hexi has a diverse climate. You need to be able to adapt to different natural environments and climates so that wheat can be grown in all wheat-growing areas of the province and produce high yields."
Jiang Ning felt that this was none of his business.
The farm is at most a private enterprise, how can it bear such a heavy responsibility?
There must be more to come.
really.
The leader added: "This is a long-term task. I think you should cooperate with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences has established scientific research bases in various places. You should make full use of these bases and produce results as soon as possible."
Jiang Ning woke up at this time: "Leader, there is no problem in cooperating with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but who should get the credit?"
The leader set the tone: "You are the inventors, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also has contributions!"
Jiang Ning nodded: "That's no problem."
Several experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences also came and are right next to us!
He wanted to say something, and his lips moved.
But he didn't say it.
Take a stroll and go back to the hotel to rest.
After sending everyone upstairs, I chatted with Lao Lu outside for a while.
Jiang Ning then got into the car that came to pick him up and went back to the farm.
The next morning, we visited the farm.
Then we went to the wheat fields and conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation.
Jiang Ning did not go to the wheat field, but took a group of people to catch rabbits.
No one knows exactly how many rabbits there are on the farm now.
Jiang Ning didn’t know either and couldn’t count them.
The grass in the forest area has been eaten and cannot grow back, and there are many more rabbits than trees.
Just take a net bag and you can catch several of them.
There are now more people in the hunting team than in the logging team.
The leader had come several times and knew the situation, so he asked, "How many rabbits do you catch a day now?"
Jiang Ning said: "More than 20,000. Last year, more than 4 million were produced. This year, it is estimated that there will be more."
The leader couldn't help but exclaim: "This farm is really a treasure trove."
Jiang Ning said: "The income generated by rabbits is almost catching up with that from selling wood. Can the leaders coordinate the sales?"
The leader waved his hand and said, "You have to go to the Forestry Department to coordinate this. I can't help you."
Jiang Ning just said it casually and didn't count on it.
After experiencing the fun of catching rabbits, I was about to go to the orchard.
A group of sheep rushed over from the side, and after seeing the group of two-legged beasts, they turned around and disappeared in front of the right. They were so fast that many people saw them clearly, but it was as if they were just a fleeting glimpse.
The leader didn’t see it clearly either, so he asked, “Was that Qingyang just now?”
Jiang Ning said: "Yes!"
The leader asked, "Aren't there only a dozen of them? The group just now seemed to be quite a lot."
Jiang Ning said: "These things run too fast, and people can't get close to them, so it's hard to count the real data. The drone captured about forty of them. These things reproduce too slowly, so the base number is probably too small."
The leader nodded: "The reproductive capacity of sheep is actually not bad. The larger the base number, the faster the reproduction speed."
Everyone nodded.
After leaving the forest area, we were about to head towards the orchard.
A worker who was catching rabbits came over and said, "Boss, a green sheep just hit a tree."
Jiang Ning was confused: "It just happened, do you need to tell me?"
The worker said, "The Qingyang is dying."
Jiang Ning was stunned: "There is such a thing?"
The worker nodded quickly: "This has never happened before. That thing is a protected animal. What should we do?"
The leaders all looked at Jiang Ning. Could it be that this guy had arranged this on purpose because he wanted to eat game?
Jiang Ning turned his head and asked, "Leader, come over and take a look?"
The leader nodded: "Then go and have a look!"
So he re-entered the forest area and followed the workers.
Not far away, I saw a few rabbit catching workers waiting.
When I got closer, I saw a green sheep lying on its side on the ground.
Jiang Ning had caught this thing before, but he wasn't interested in it.
Others had never seen it. At most, they had seen photos taken by drones. This was the first time they had seen a green sheep up close. They came forward to watch and saw that one of the sheep's horns was broken, blood was oozing from its forehead, and it twitched from time to time.
The legs are short and the hair is long, the limbs are short and symmetrical, and the hooves are narrow and strong.
Even though he was about to die, he still felt a strong sense of wildness.
Jiang Ning asked: "How did you hit the tree?"
The worker said: "These guys suddenly jumped out, and when they saw someone here, they ran to the right. Maybe they ran too fast, and this guy didn't have time to avoid the tree when he turned, and he crashed into the tree."
Jiang Ning nodded. Although the probability of this happening was very small, it was not impossible.
The leader asked, “Do you have a veterinarian here?”
Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, have you called a veterinarian?"
The worker said, "Yes, they are coming over now!"
There is a veterinary station in the second field, providing diagnosis and treatment services to customers.
How could there be no veterinarian when you raise so many cows?
If there is a problem with the livestock here, we will call a veterinarian from the second farm.
As a result, the sheep died before the veterinarian arrived.
Jiang Ning squatted down and felt around twice, then said, "It's dead."
The leaders looked a little strange and didn't know what to say.
Jiang Ning said, "Let's eat it if it's dead. I've raised these guys for several years, but I've never tasted them. Today is a good time to try some game. Leaders, please testify for me that this guy hit himself to death, not me."
The leaders were so angry that they couldn't bear to listen any longer.
They all coughed and walked out. Jiang Ning quickly gave instructions and followed them out.
I took a walk around the orchard and saw that some early-ripening cherries were still left unpicked.
I picked a few and tasted them on the spot.
The leader couldn't stop eating and asked, "Shouldn't there be trouble selling such a good thing?"
Jiang Ning said: "We don't have to worry about sales, but we can't get a good price, so we sell it to fruit vendors at a low price."
The leader asked: "Why not make it a brand?"
Jiang Ning wanted to complain, but he held back and said, "It's too difficult to build a brand. I don't have the time and energy. The farm's output is only popular in Bei'an, but Bei'an has such a small market and can't absorb too much. It will have no advantage outside."
The leader has an open mind: "There is still a way. Good wine needs no bush. Nowadays, fruit growers care about quantity rather than quality. As long as the product is good, they are not afraid of not having a market. There are so many units in the province. You can give some to everyone so that everyone can taste it. If it tastes good, people will naturally want it. In addition, you also need to build sales channels, otherwise even if someone wants to eat it, there will be nowhere to buy it."
Jiang Ning nodded, but didn't care at all.
He has always been afraid of trouble, and building channels is the most troublesome thing.
Where is the time and energy?
I would rather sell it to fruit merchants at a low price than go through the trouble.
Anyway, you'll still make a profit even if you sell it at a low price.
I walked around the orchard and went to see the cattle, sheep and pigs raised on the pasture.
It’s almost noon, so I go to the cafeteria to eat.
The lunch was arranged in the farm cafeteria.
The canteen has two floors, but since there were not many people before, only the first floor was open.
Now that there are more people, the second floor has been put into use, and two private rooms have been set up specifically for reception.
The food is not as good as the hotel, but it is very rich.
They are all farm specialties. In addition to beef, mutton, rabbit, chicken and black pork, there is also a braised green mutton dish today. This thing is black and all lean meat without any fat, which is a real test of the chef's skills.
If it’s not cooked well, it will taste terrible.
The chef in the cafeteria obviously put in a lot of effort and the food is pretty good.
I ate a lot.
I visited the next two shows in the afternoon and only calmed down after seeing the people off.
Jiang Ning doesn't worry about selling fruit.
Lao Yang and Kong Fangfei, however, took it very seriously.
The current situation is that the boss is in a state of letting things rot and has no motivation to make money. He is just happy to sell rabbits and wood to make ends meet. The employees are more motivated than the boss, so how can the boss improve his welfare benefits if he doesn't make more money?
Especially the management, how much bonus will be given at the end of the year.
First, look at the boss’s mood, and second, look at the farm’s performance.
The more you earn, the happier your boss will be, and naturally he will pay you more.
Lao Yang and Kong Fangfei discussed and decided to go to the provincial capital.
Take a batch of fruits to the market and give them to various units.
The leader didn’t say anything, so if I couldn’t find the way there anyway, I would ask the leader for help.
Having nothing to do in the evening, Liu Wei asked people to go to the night market.
While eating skewers and drinking beer, we talked about business.
Liu Wei asked him: "Can you get me some US dollars?"
Jiang Ning asked: "How much do you want?"
Liu Wei said: "150 million."
Jiang Ning asked again: "Will my brother-in-law use cash or assets as collateral?"
Liu Wei said: "If you want assets, that's the best. If you don't want assets, then just cash."
Jiang Ning was quite surprised: "Brother-in-law has a lot of money!"
Liu Hui quickly pretended to be poor: "I don't have any money. All my properties are real estate. The economy has been bad in the past two years, and business is not good. Most of the shopping malls are vacant, and the rent has been reduced again and again. I want to sell them, but I can't find anyone to take them. I have a loan of 300 yuan."
It's good to just listen to this kind of words.
Jiang Ning didn't believe it at all and asked, "How is the handling fee calculated?"
Liu Wei's eyelids twitched: "It's whatever you say."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Brother-in-law, please transfer 1100 to me. Just this once. I won't do this kind of thing."
Liu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and agreed readily.
It's very troublesome to transfer money. I've already inquired about it and the handling fee is extremely high.
For someone like him who has no connections, 1:10 is normal.
I asked Jiang Ning for help because the handling fee was too expensive.
According to the current report, 150 is roughly a little over 1050.
Jiang Ning only asked for 1100, which was already a favor among relatives.
……
Chen Gang has been feeling a bit unhappy lately, and the reason is very simple.
I don't want to work for others, I want to be my own boss.
What future can there be in working? You will be working for others all your life.
No matter how good the salary and benefits are, they are nothing compared to being your own boss.
It took me two days to find out how much coffin money my parents had saved.
After dinner today, I didn’t go home but went to the living area.
Chen Xuefeng and Zhang Yuzhen did not go home and continued to live on the farm.
There is nothing to do when you go home. The farm is so lively. There are more people now, and the amateur cultural life in the living area is becoming more and more abundant. It is much more lively than the residential area. Gradually getting used to it, the workers are reluctant to go home.
Unless something happens at home.
Chen Xuefeng was playing chess with someone, and Chen Gang was watching on the side.
Lost two of three games.
Chen Xuefeng was bored with losing, so he gave up and stood up to let someone else play. He asked his son, "Why don't you go home?"
Chen Gang said, "It's boring to go back. I'll go back later."
Chen Xuefeng said: "If you don't want to go back, you need to live in a dormitory."
Chen Gang said a few words and went to drink beer with his uncle.
After working until dark, Chen Xuefeng and Zhang Yuzhen decided to go back to the dormitory.
Chen Gang ran over again, looking like he had something to say.
Chen Xuefeng asked: "Why did you follow me?"
Chen Gang sat on the bed and asked, "Dad, how much money have you saved?"
Chen Xuefeng had a bad feeling: "Why are you asking this?"
Chen Gang asked: "How much did you save?"
Chen Xuefeng said: "I didn't save any money."
Chen Gang said, "How is that possible? I've inquired about it. Last year, ordinary workers received 20 months of year-end bonuses. Jiang Ning gave red envelopes to your management. Hai Laoer told me that you received at least 500,000 yuan."
Chen Xuefeng's eyelids twitched, but he said nothing.
Zhang Yuzhen asked: "Why are you asking about this?"
Chen Gang was very excited: "What's the future of working for others? Isn't Jiang Ning working in Africa? You can take out your savings and ask Jiang Ning to help you build a gold mine in Africa. I will also work in the gold mine. It's better than working for others."
Chen Xuefeng got angry: "What the hell do you want?"
Chen Gang had many reasons: "You can only earn a few dollars at work, and if you save the money it will depreciate. Only by investing in mining can you make big money."
Chen Xuefeng said: "What are you dreaming about? Do you think it's just a game and you can do whatever you want?"
Chen Gang said: "There are many gold mines in Africa. Many people have made a fortune by going to Africa to dig for gold."
Chen Xuefeng said, "Then why don't you think about your own abilities? Anyone who can go out there to build a career is usually a ruthless person, not to mention places like Africa, where there are wars every day. Is that a place you can go to?"
Chen Gang was still unconvinced: "Jiang Ning can go, why can't I go?"
Chen Xuefeng laughed angrily: "Compared with Jiang Ning? Jiang Ning went out to fight for his fortune at the age of 18. He can be the boss wherever he goes. How capable are you? You still want to dig for gold. If you really go to Africa, your mother and I will see you off to the grave."
Chen Gang also got angry: "You didn't even let me go out, how do you know I'm incompetent?"
Chen Xuefeng said, "If you have the ability, don't ask me for money, go by yourself. When Jiang Ning left, your second aunt gave him 800 yuan for the fare. I'll give you 8,000 yuan and go. If you have the ability, make a name for yourself and show me how to be a decent person."
Chen Gang looked unhappy: "Times have changed."
Chen Xuefeng sneered, "Nonsense, if you have no ability, you have no ability. Times have changed. Even if Jiang Ning is penniless, he can still stand up straight and be a man, instead of asking his parents for money. You are just a waste like Zhang Yulong."
Chen Gang was so angry: "Why did you give birth to me if you thought I was a waste?"
After saying that, he stood up and rushed out.
After going out, he slammed the door shut.
There was a loud bang.
Chen Xuefeng's face turned green and his nose was smoking from anger.
I finally understand what it feels like to be a brother-in-law.
There is more sorrow and silence than a dead heart.
Before, I thought that no matter how bad my son was, he was still better than Zhang Yulong. But now, it seems that they are just the same. No one is much better than the other. One of them is completely lying down and has started to live off his parents.
One has high expectations but lacks the skills to achieve them, and doesn't even know himself.
The Chen family also worked in mining. They became rich when they were young and went bankrupt in middle age.
Chen Xuefeng knows only too well how difficult it is.
Not to mention places like Africa, is that a place that ordinary people can go to?
Zhang Yuzhen sat on a chair, wiping away tears with a broken heart: "How did they become like this? One by one, none of them are worry-free. Why is my life so hard? Why are the two in the Yulan family so hardworking?"
Chen Xuefeng's face darkened and he was too angry to speak.
……
The next morning.
Kong Fangfei drove to the south gate and suddenly saw a car in front of her that looked like a farm car.
After entering the south gate, I stepped on the accelerator and chased after it to take a look.
It was really a farm car, a Prado.
Kong Fangfei frowned. Except for Lao Yang's special car, other cars were not allowed to drive out after get off work.
Of course, there are special missions, that’s another matter.
Otherwise, what would happen if the driver was asked to drive the car out after get off work?
This Prado was driven by Chen Gang and there was no special situation yesterday.
How could Chen Gang drive the car out?
With this thought in mind, I followed Prado to the office building.
After the car stopped, Chen Gang got out of the Prado.
He looked back at the Passat following behind him and prepared to go to the small car class.
Kong Fangfei got out of the car and called out, "Chen Gang, wait a moment."
Chen Gang waited for a while, and when Kong Fangfei came over, he greeted her, "Director Kong."
Kong Fangfei asked: "Did you go on a mission last night?"
Chen Gang wanted to say yes, but the small car team was under the management of the office, and Kong Fangfei was his immediate superior. He couldn't fool anyone else, so he could only find an excuse: "My car had some problems after get off work yesterday, so I drove the company car home."
Kong Fangfei didn't give him face: "Is this also a reason?"
Chen Gang said nothing and looked at Kong Fangfei.
An expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
"Go ahead and ask Lao Han to come over to me."
Kong Fangfei didn't get angry on the spot, but asked him to call the squad leader of the car team.
Chen Gang didn't respond. He turned around and left without saying a word.
When we arrived at the car team office, Lao Han was already drinking tea.
Since there is no breakfast at home, Lao Han has to get up early every day and rush to the farm to have breakfast.
So I came very early.
When he saw Chen Gang come in, he greeted him.
Chen Gang said: "Old Han, Kong Fangfei is calling you!"
Old Han frowned and asked, "What does Director Kong want me to do?"
Chen Gang said, "I don't know. I'll ask you to go to her office."
Old Han looked suspicious, but still got up and went to the second floor.
