Chapter 259: National Advanced Enterprise! Thank You, Liyuan Farm!
Chapter 259: National Advanced Enterprise! Thank You, Liyuan Farm!
The wealthy individuals were indeed intrigued, and some even approached to ask, "Sir, may I ask who that young man is?"
The person asked did not hide the information and explained, "He is the owner of Liyuan Farm. Everyone knows that the soybean project's technology was actually given to You City by him."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding wealthy individuals burst into a buzz of conversation.
"He is the owner of Liyuan Farm?"
"Really that young?"
"No wonder, Elder Zhu and Elder Gu were promoting the Mountain Spring Water Health Center."
"..."
The age of the young man was indeed surprising, but no one dared to look down on him because of his age.
Not to mention his clear connection with the Zhu and Gu families.
He also had the whitening sweet potato, and if the soybean technology was indeed his, then his share of the project would certainly be significant.
From any perspective, this young man was someone they couldn't afford to offend, and they might even need to try to get closer to him.
With this in mind, these wealthy individuals entered the room one after another.
Zhang Lin, along with his two "cheap" disciples Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song, also entered the conference hall.
On the central wall, a banner promoting the soybean project's investment was hanging.
Moreover, each table had a name card indicating the names of the wealthy individuals.
Zhang Lin quickly spotted his and Ma Jun's names, and they were in the front row, the most prominent position.
It was not surprising that they sat there; it had nothing to do with money but everything to do with the fact that they had provided the technology and held a dominant position.
Following them were a few names he had not heard of, but the suffixes of their companies were well-known.
These individuals were placed ahead of Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song because their companies were stronger than the two.
It seemed that this soybean project was indeed highly anticipated, attracting many powerful groups.
The wealthy individuals entered and found their names, then sat down to wait.
If it were a regular project, they wouldn't have to wait in a small county; the local leaders would have welcomed them immediately, treating them like emperors.
However, this time, You City's project was different, and they had to wait patiently.
After all, the special strategic department was paying attention to this project and had sent representatives, which meant there would be support in the future.
This would make the project incredibly significant, ensuring no obstacles would arise.
Additionally, with the current 84% soybean import demand and a market need of 180 million tons, the future prospects were unimaginable.
"Greetings," a middle-aged man sat down next to Zhang Lin and Ma Jun, smiling and greeting them.
"Greetings," Zhang Lin politely responded.
Ma Jun, however, was indifferent, studying people's personalities.
"I didn't expect the owner of Liyuan Farm to be so young, Mr. Zhang, truly a young talent," the middle-aged man said with a smile, then handed Zhang Lin a business card.
He was also surprised when he learned the young man's identity earlier.
It was hard for him to imagine how someone so young could achieve such a significant feat.
Zhang Lin took the business card.
Xingyun Group: Chen Jin.
Actually, the name was already on the table in front of him.
But the business card also included his position as the General Manager of Xingyun Group.
Soon, Zhang Lin saw Liu Xian leading a group of people into the room. He was respectfully leading the way, clearly showing great respect for the person behind him.
This scene made Zhang Lin realize that this person must be the representative sent by the special strategic department.
Sure enough, when they reached the podium, Liu Xian stood to the side and let the representative take the microphone.
"I didn't expect it to be him," Chen Jin said in surprise.
Zhang Lin looked at him curiously.
The man did not hide his thoughts and explained in a low voice, "This is Mr. Ruan, one of the heads of the special strategic department. He mainly oversees the strategic coordination of commercial resources."
"Take soybeans, for example, which are one of the strategic material products, with 84% of the demand relying on imports, leaving us completely at the mercy of others."
"So it's not surprising that they would come to this small county for a project."
Ruan Xiao stepped up to the microphone and smiled, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Some of you may recognize me, so you know that when I appear, it's either because a strategic material product is being held hostage, or we are about to break through such a restriction."
"I'm happy to say that I'm here today for the latter reason. I won't hide the fact that, up until now, 84% of our soybean demand has been met through imports."
"Before I came to You City, I organized the leading figures in the soybean industry to negotiate the import purchase of soybeans with the other party."
"You might guess the outcome: the other side, knowing they have a hold on our import demand, demanded a price hike and threatened to refuse selling soybeans to us if we didn't agree."
"That's the result of being held at the throat, and you can imagine that if we agree to their demands, our domestic companies would no longer be companies but mere profit-generating factories for them."
"This is a terrible situation. If we don't agree to their demands, the lack of soybeans will severely impact our soybean-related industries."
"Fortunately, at this critical juncture, You City and Liyuan Farm have taken the lead in this soybean investment project, directly solving our dilemma."
"So we are very grateful to Liyuan Farm for their contribution and for their willingness to research a product that others are unwilling to invest in, achieving a breakthrough."
"Moreover, Liyuan Farm, aware of the current state of soybeans in our country, has put forward this project for investment, aiming to develop it quickly and change our current situation."
"Indeed, we are deeply moved and have already applied to the state for Liyuan Farm to be named an advanced enterprise this year."
This statement made the surrounding wealthy individuals look at Zhang Lin with envy.
To know that the national advanced enterprise award, once obtained, is like having an additional layer of protection.
Zhang Lin's mouth opened slightly; he hadn't expected this unexpected gain.
This recognition wasn't something any ordinary company could obtain, and it was likely that the county had put in a lot of effort to help.
It seemed that putting the soybean project under the county's leadership had indeed been a significant move.
After all, with his game system, he would never run out of money in the future.
Compared to making money, being named a national advanced enterprise was even more important to him than the soybean technology.
Ruan Xiao continued, "If we had more companies like this in our country, we would be unbeatable in many areas."
"You can't imagine how upset the people from the United States were when they heard this news. They even reached out to us when I was on my way to You City, offering to lower their prices."
"Unfortunately, we have already decided not to purchase their soybeans anymore but to place the entire industry's orders with this project in You City."
"Furthermore, after your cooperative company is established, we will provide loan support. As long as you meet the review requirements and show results, this loan support will have no upper limit."
"Wow!"
The noise in the room grew louder.
Everyone knew what this meant: the project would take off from the very beginning.
Many faces showed signs of disappointment and sighs.
They were well aware that such support would not be given to just any company.
Even if you had the money and offered a higher investment than anyone else, it wouldn't matter.
Because the nature of the project had changed.
