Chapter 251: This Could Cost My Life!
Chapter 251: This Could Cost My Life!
After hanging up the phone with President Zhang, County Magistrate Liu immediately left the natural spring water wellness center with Zhao Han and headed to the farm's office center.
The security guards at the office center entrance, who naturally recognized the two leaders, let them in without any delay.
Soon, County Magistrate Liu arrived at Zhang Lin's office.
Zhong Miaoying quickly came over from the secretary's office to brew tea.
After taking a sip of tea, County Magistrate Liu couldn't help but ask Zhang Lin, "President Zhang, what was the surprise you mentioned on the phone?"
"Right now, our county really needs more investment to boost our performance at the end of the year."
Seeing how eager the county magistrate was, Zhang Lin immediately handed over the prepared documents, "County Magistrate Liu, take a look at this project proposal."
County Magistrate Liu quickly took the documents and started reading them.
He was quite impatient, knowing that any project proposed by President Zhang would not be simple.
Just like the tricolor hibiscus project and the whitening sweet potato project.
However, as he read through the documents, his face quickly showed a look of disbelief.
And the more he read, the more astonished he became.
By the time he was halfway through, he couldn't help but ask, "President Zhang, is everything in this document true?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "County Magistrate Liu, I have no reason to lie to you. This is the result of Ma Jun's recent experiments. He did it casually, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise."
"Ma Jun again?" County Magistrate Liu could hardly believe it.
Since Ma Jun arrived at the farm, he had produced many research achievements.
Now, he had come up with this special soybean.
County Magistrate Liu knew that soybeans were a strategic material, with 84% of domestic consumption relying on imports.
If the special soybeans mentioned by President Zhang were indeed as effective as described, they could absolutely propel Youcheng to new heights.
After all, the applications of soybeans are very broad, not just in the soybean cultivation industry.
There are also many industries that can be extended from soybeans.
For example, the food processing industry.
Soybeans can be used to produce bean products such as tofu and soy milk.
They can also be used to produce soy sauce, cooking oil, and other food seasonings.
As an important source of protein, soybeans are widely used in animal feed.
Additionally, they can be used in the oil industry and various agricultural supply chain companies.
This could lead to the establishment of over a dozen investment factories.
Currently, there are many wealthy individuals at the natural spring water wellness center, and many would likely be willing to invest.
Seeing County Magistrate Liu's astonished face, Zhao Han became very curious and took the documents to read. His face also showed a look of disbelief.
If this were true, it would be truly remarkable.
Both of them looked at Zhang Lin.
After receiving his confirmation, County Magistrate Liu hurriedly asked, "President Zhang, how do you plan to invest in this project?"
Zhang Lin smiled, "I still lack the necessary funds and don't want to develop it slowly. I plan to establish a large company at once, raising about 20 billion yuan."
"So, I still plan to implement the cooperative model used for the tricolor hibiscus project, which means the county will need to take the lead."
This statement shocked County Magistrate Liu, "President Zhang, you don't plan to personally participate in this project? This project is not comparable to the tricolor hibiscus project."
"I am not skilled in managing such commercial ventures, so I will stay here to manage the farm," Zhang Lin smiled.
Hearing this, County Magistrate Liu couldn't help but show admiration for Zhang Lin.
Who would believe that President Zhang is not good at management?
After all, Zhang Lin had managed the farm exceptionally well.
Moreover, when it came to such a significant project, even if he wasn't skilled in management, it wouldn't be easy for anyone else to willingly give up control of the project. This demonstrated Zhang Lin's remarkable character; such an attitude was not something everyone could possess.
Therefore, County Magistrate Liu immediately assured him, "Rest assured, President Zhang. I will handle this matter well and not let you down."
"That's a bother, County Magistrate Liu," Zhang Lin nodded and said.
After receiving his approval, County Magistrate Liu didn't hesitate and rushed back to the county. He immediately called Wei Yuan, the head of the Agriculture Bureau.
Wei Yuan had been quite busy lately because the five-color tricolor hibiscus had been fully planted, and the land-related negotiations and guidance were all handled by their bureau.
So, he had been swamped, and only now had he managed to catch a break.
As he was looking at some documents on his computer, his phone rang.
Seeing it was County Magistrate Liu's call, he answered without hesitation.
County Magistrate Liu's voice came through, "Come to the county for a meeting quickly."
He knew that since County Magistrate Liu had personally called to notify him, it must be a very important matter.
He hurriedly left his office and headed to the county.
Upon arriving, he found that County Magistrate Liu had already gathered several department heads.
This scene clearly indicated that the matter was not simple.
"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting," County Magistrate Liu said, leading everyone to the conference room.
Wei Yuan was very curious about what the matter was, for him to be so serious.
In the conference room, County Magistrate Liu immediately said, "First, I'll distribute the project documents. Read through them as quickly as possible."
The secretary promptly handed out the printed project documents to the department heads, urging them to read them quickly.
Wei Yuan also picked up the project documents and began reading them.
Soon, his face was filled with shock.
Is this project real? Or is it too good to be true for a small place like Youcheng?
Now he understood why County Magistrate Liu had been in such a hurry.
This project must be from Liyuan Farm, right?
Then, his face showed a look of distress.
They had just finished the five-color tricolor hibiscus project and were finally able to take a breather, but now another project had come along.
This was giving them no time to rest at all.
However, his face also showed excitement because this project could bring tremendous achievements to the bureau.
His promotion was guaranteed.
"County Magistrate Liu, is this project real?" one of the department heads asked, hardly believing it.
"Yes, a 20 billion yuan project, and it's about planting something. Even the provincial government would be envious of this project," another department head immediately added.
Wei Yuan didn't doubt the project's authenticity; instead, he quickly said, "County Magistrate Liu, if the county is still going to take the lead on this project, then the various aspects of future planting will be too extensive. I don't have enough manpower!"
The five-color tricolor hibiscus project had already kept their bureau so busy that they didn't even have time to take a drink of water.
Now, this was going to be the death of them.
Hearing this, the others also realized that such a large project would involve too many matters. The previous projects had already left all the departments very busy.
Especially with the increasing number of tourists at Liyuan Farm, the situation had become even more pronounced.
None of their departments had received additional manpower.
Now, suddenly starting such a large project would surely overwhelm them during its implementation.
