Chapter 201: Hard to Believe!

Chapter 201: Hard to Believe!

Seeing that County Chief Liu's tone had softened, Wei Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

He was partly to blame for the mistake, and he couldn't bear County Chief Liu's anger.

Now, only the Linyuan Farm could divert County Chief Liu's attention.

Wei Yuan didn't dare to hesitate and quickly answered the call, "Hello, Manager Lin, this is Wei Yuan."

Lin Mengxi hurriedly spoke into the phone, "Director Wei, our farm needs to purchase some materials for Ma Jun's experiment with the Five-Color Bougainvillea. His experiment has already succeeded, and now he needs more materials to further verify it. Three of the materials are under agricultural research control and require a lot of paperwork. We need the help of the Agricultural Bureau."

"Already succeeded?" Wei Yuan was delighted to hear this news and didn't hesitate, quickly responding, "Send me the list of materials, and we'll handle the application procedures for you."

After hanging up, he reported to County Chief Liu with a delighted expression, "County Chief Liu, the Five-Color Bougainvillea experiment at Linyuan Farm has succeeded. They are now purchasing research materials to further verify it."

"So it succeeded so quickly?" County Chief Liu couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

When he learned about the Five-Color Bougainvillea at Linyuan Farm, he knew it would definitely become a premium industry, bringing significant benefits to Yucheng.

They didn't expect Ma Jun to complete the experiment so soon, considering he had just arrived at Linyuan Farm.

But now, what did he hear?

It had succeeded?

Was Ma Jun that capable?

County Chief Liu didn't hesitate and immediately instructed Wei Yuan, "Provide any assistance Linyuan Farm needs. As for the organic crop project, it seems it won't be suitable for Yucheng. Just halt the project."

"Understood, County Chief Liu!" Wei Yuan nodded and quickly left.

He was truly relieved that Linyuan Farm's call came just in time, sparing him from trouble. He then hurriedly left.

When he returned to the Agricultural Bureau, he received a message from Lin Mengyao with the list of materials needed.

Without any hesitation, he picked up his phone and started making calls.

With the help of the Agricultural Bureau, even the controlled materials were quickly procured. As for the other materials, they were even easier to get for Linyuan Farm, as they were just regular items that could be bought with money.

The key materials were also not expensive, making them easy to purchase.

Since Yucheng didn't have suitable planting grounds for mature flowering Bougainvillea, Lin Mengyao directly sent two HR staff to Ming City to buy them.

Ming City's largest floral and plant procurement base is the Qiaoan Floral and Plant Cultivation Base. This place cultivates and sells various flowers and plants, making it a very famous floral and plant company. Many agricultural and scenic areas buy their plants here.

One of their business segments is Bougainvillea, though it's not a major segment. They have always struggled to develop it significantly because Xiamen City has designated Bougainvillea as its city flower, and more Bougainvillea planting bases are located there. Most agricultural and scenic areas in Fujian Province buy their Bougainvillea from Xiamen.

Today, the owner of the Qiaoan Floral and Plant Cultivation Base, Gu Le, received a tremendous piece of good news.

Linyuan Farm's representatives had come to purchase mature flowering Bougainvillea from their base.

This was absolutely great news for them.

Bougainvillea plants are usually bought to be planted, so for many growers, seedlings are sufficient. In the first year, even if they bloom, it's not useful, as they only gain landscape value in the second year.

Of course, some people buy mature flowering plants out of urgency, but they are a minority. Once seedlings accumulate, the cost of transportation and planting increases, making it harder to sell them.

Now, Linyuan Farm wanted to buy mature flowering plants?

It was like good things were coming to those who didn't even leave their homes.

Moreover, as a floral and plant company in Ming City, they knew the famous Linyuan Farm. If Linyuan Farm bought mature flowering Bougainvillea from them, they could use this to promote their business. When Linyuan Farm opened its Bougainvillea project, they could advertise that the Bougainvillea came from their base.

This promotion would surely make their base popular, and their Bougainvillea business would boom.

You didn't see Linyuan Farm buying Bougainvillea from us?

With Linyuan Farm's reputation, many more people would definitely follow and buy from them.

Gu Le didn't hesitate and respectfully invited the two Linyuan Farm representatives to his office, "Welcome to our base to purchase Bougainvillea. Rest assured, we will select the best for you."

His attitude was exceptionally good, far better than with ordinary customers.

Even after Linyuan Farm placed their order, he specially bought gifts for the two HR staff, showing a significant effort.

He believed that once Linyuan Farm opened its Bougainvillea project, it would be worth it.

The two Linyuan Farm representatives were a bit bewildered but happy to receive the gifts. They quickly arranged for the mature flowering Bougainvillea to be transported back to Linyuan Farm.

When the Bougainvillea procurement was completed, Lin Mengyao had also procured the other materials.

The Agricultural Bureau had also helped gather the controlled materials.

In the farm office, Zhang Lin looked at the simple design sketch of the farm's main estate that Fu Yao had sent him.

The sketch wasn't a complete design but a rough outline of the entire estate's structure.

From the sketch, one could clearly see the functions and layout of each area of the estate.

Fu Yao had good ideas, distributing the functional areas well. At least, he didn't see any problems with it at first glance.

So, he sent her a few encouraging and supportive emojis.

Just as he finished chatting with her, Lin Mengyao rushed in and reported, "Boss, everything you need has been procured. The mature flowering Bougainvillea will arrive soon. We should have Liu De and the others help unload it."

"Sure!" Zhang Lin nodded and called Liu De.

Soon after, the mature Bougainvillea plants purchased from Ming City arrived and were loaded onto trucks.

Liu De had been waiting and immediately went forward to receive the delivery. With the combined efforts of both sides, the unloading process was quite swift.

Before long, several cars arrived, clearly from the county.

Liu Xian, Zhao Han, and Wei Yuan stepped out of the cars.

They had been keeping a close eye on the activities at Linyuan Farm, so naturally, they were interested when so many mature Bougainvillea plants were delivered.

The trucks had to pass through You City, and there was only one road, so the three of them got the news and rushed over to see the experiments with the mature Bougainvillea plants at Linyuan Farm.

"Mr. Zhang."

"Boss Zhang!"

Liu Xian, Zhao Han, and Wei Yuan greeted Zhang Lin as soon as they saw him.

"Director Liu, you're here?" Zhang Lin smiled and greeted them.

"We couldn't not come," Liu Xian said with a smile.

"Let's go see Ma Jun at the research institute. We still need him to conduct the experiments," Zhang Lin said with a smile, understanding the leaders' intentions. After all, he had promised to promote the Bougainvillea in You City, and the three leaders were undoubtedly eager.

"Sure, let's go together," Liu Xian nodded and followed Zhang Lin to the office center.

They soon arrived at the research institute where Ma Jun was in charge. Ma Jun was reviewing an experimental report, and Chen Xingke was looking at him expectantly.

After reading through the report, Ma Jun frowned and shook his head. "No, isn't it clear enough? Did you get your agricultural research expert status through backdoor connections?"

Chen Xingke, embarrassed, replied, "Come on, how could I possibly use backdoor connections? I have a reputation, you know. I won't accept your slander!"

Ma Jun was unimpressed. "Reputation? Then why can't you figure out the two types of gene cell mutations?"

Chen Xingke, now thoroughly embarrassed, said, "This has never happened before. I just started working on it."

His confidence had clearly waned.

Ma Jun chuckled. "I just started too. If it's not through backdoor connections, then it must be that people like you are just not at the right level, just like those at Huannong University."

Chen Xingke was speechless.

Ma Jun was indeed a prodigy. Chen Xingke couldn't match him and had no choice but to endure the ridicule.

Sigh.

Liu Xian and the others watched this exchange with a mix of surprise and respect. It was clear that this expert was thoroughly convinced by Ma Jun, and this demonstrated Ma Jun's exceptional abilities. If Ma Jun weren't so capable, how could someone like Chen Xingke, an expert, be so willing to take such treatment?

"Rewrite it. Don't consider the conventional matrix list for the two types of gene cell mutations. Abandon your old ideas!" Ma Jun handed the experimental data back to Chen Xingke.

Ma Jun didn't bother to write the reports himself; he let Chen Xingke do it, knowing that Chen Xingke was happy to do so.

Chen Xingke was indeed happy because Ma Jun had agreed to let him sign the reports, which would add to his reputation.

So, whatever Ma Jun said, Chen Xingke did.

For people like them, money wasn't the main concern; academic pursuits were. They all hoped to leave their names in some agricultural book, even if it was a niche book that few people read. Leaving a name was still leaving a name.

At this moment, Liu Xian, Zhao Han, and Wei Yuan noticed the Bougainvillea branch soaking in the container, with its petals in five different colors.

The three of them couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Is this the five-colored Bougainvillea?" Liu Xian asked, his face full of surprise.

The other two quickly joined him.

Even a single-colored Bougainvillea was beautiful, and now, with five colors interwoven, even a small plant was stunning.

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Indeed, this Bougainvillea was originally ordinary. After Ma Jun's experiments, it transformed into this five-colored beauty. The Bougainvillea we cultivate will mostly have these five colors."

Liu Xian and the others' eyes lit up.

They could see how popular this Bougainvillea would be. Simply put, all the places known for Bougainvillea flower seas would have to switch to this variety.

There was also a bid for Bougainvillea transformation in Xia City, and You City could easily win the bid with this variety.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you plan to promote this Bougainvillea?" Liu Xian asked the most pressing question.

Wei Yuan, the director of the agriculture bureau, also looked at him, knowing how important this was.

Zhang Lin, seeing their interest, smiled and said, "The farm has a lot on its plate right now. For the promotion of the Bougainvillea, I'm thinking of setting up a cooperative, and the county can lead the promotion."

This statement left Liu Xian and the others momentarily stunned, their faces showing disbelief.

They had expected the five-colored Bougainvillea to be promoted in You City like the whitening sweet potato, but they hadn't expected Zhang Lin to hand over the lead in promotion to the county. This was a pleasant surprise.

"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?" Liu Xian asked, still unsure.

Zhang Lin nodded firmly. "Of course, I wouldn't joke about this."

With Zhang Lin's confirmation, Liu Xian and the others became even more enthusiastic. They would be fully involved in the planting of the Bougainvillea at Linyuan Farm. Once the flowering plants were planted, they were curious about how the Bougainvillea had turned five-colored.

Ma Jun's methods would undoubtedly shock them, leaving them speechless and almost disbelieving.
