Chapter 352: Is the Farm Really Building a Research Institute?
Chapter 352: Is the Farm Really Building a Research Institute?
Zhang Lin had no idea that his simple question would spark so much thought from Lei Xiaojun.
However, upon hearing Lei Xiaojun's inquiry, Zhang Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Liyuan Farm is indeed planning to construct a research institute. But we're unfamiliar with the procedures for the approved research land. Even the county doesn't have experience in this area."
County Magistrate Liu unconsciously nodded at Zhang Lin's words.
After all, Yu City was once a relatively backward county, not very developed economically. It was only with the development of Liyuan Farm that the county began to thrive. The idea of having a research institute was completely foreign to them.
The companies in Yu City had no use for a research institute.
The Panda Breeding and Cultivation Research Center was the first research institute, and that was only because of Liyuan Farm's existence.
Now, Zhang Lin was planning to establish an agricultural research institute.
This was a huge piece of good news for Yu City.
Having an agricultural research institute in the county would be a significant draw.
If Zhang Lin's research institute could develop agricultural products, it would elevate the status of the entire Yu City.
Moreover, he believed that it would indeed happen.
After all, Liyuan Farm already had some agricultural products, like the white potatoes and the special soybeans.
Lei Xiaojun, of course, understood that a small county would not have experience in this area. So, he smiled and said, "The approval process for research institute land is special. It involves clearly defining the nature and planning of the land, confirming that the land is intended for research purposes, and then filing for record-keeping."
"Additionally, there's the application and review process. It's not just the Yu City official departments, but those at the city level and above. It's best if relevant high-level departments in related industries can approve it, like the Agricultural Research Institute of the province. Getting approval and record-keeping from them is the most crucial step. Only with this approval can you proceed with the subsequent steps."
Hearing about the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute, Zhang Lin's eyes lit up slightly. After all, he maintained a good relationship with them.
"What about the rest, Lei Xiaojun?" Zhang Lin asked immediately.
Lei Xiaojun smiled and said, "The other procedures and approvals can be handled by Yu City. Zhang Lin, you can inquire with the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute or the city-level departments. They will inform you of the process."
Zhang Lin nodded, "Thank you, Lei Xiaojun."
Indeed, it was best to secure this first approval step first. The rest could be handled by Yu City.
Lei Xiaojun smiled, "Zhang Lin, there's no need for thanks. I merely mentioned it in passing and didn't really help much. If you insist on expressing gratitude, just give me a little of that tea to satisfy my cravings."
Zhang Lin smiled and instructed Zhong Miao Ying, "Miao Ying, please weigh out a tael of this tea for Lei Xiaojun."
There were already two cans of this tea, enough to last for a long time. Giving away a tael wouldn't be a problem, and he believed the game system would replenish it later.
Lei Xiaojun was probably the highest-ranking person from his farm, and he had come to the Mountain Spring Wellness Center right after the New Year. He had specifically sought Zhang Lin out to drink tea, indicating a desire to build a closer relationship.
So, Zhang Lin didn't mind giving him a tael of tea to maintain their connection.
"Wait, Zhang Lin, you're really giving it to me?" Lei Xiaojun was taken aback, not expecting that his joke would lead to such an unexpected gain.
He was well aware of how rare this tea was.
After learning about the existence of this tea, he had also inquired about it upon returning.
Although he knew it was rare, he didn't think it would be impossible for his connections to acquire such tea.
However, the reality left him feeling defeated.
The intermediaries in this field had also tried their best to help him find it, but to no avail.
He did learn that there was indeed a very rare type of tea that only those in high positions could taste, and it never reached the outside world.
So, he was surprised that Zhang, the CEO, had the connections to acquire such tea leaves.
Before this, he had never heard of this tea, making him feel uninformed.
Now, upon hearing that Zhang was willing to share a tael of the tea with him, he couldn't help but feel a stir of emotion.
Previously, when he mentioned this tea to Old Ma, the other man thought he was bluffing.
Later, when he brews this tea for others, they will realize his ignorance.
Indeed, at his status, there aren't many things he can use to show off.
Of course, he was referring to people of the same level as him. Compared to ordinary people below him, he could show off more, but such boasting held no meaning for him.
People of the same level as him generally had the same possessions, and what he could buy, they could also afford. Therefore, the joy of showing off was minimal.
But this tea would allow him to show off and even tease those guys for their lack of knowledge.
Zhong Miao Ying, upon hearing her boss's request, brought out a specialized tea weighing tool and carefully weighed out a tael of tea, which she then packaged and handed to Lei Xiaojun.
Lei Xiaojun's face lit up with excitement as he received the tea.
Liu and the other two couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.
They also knew how rare this tea was.
But even if this tea was gifted to them, they wouldn't dare to accept it, as the value of the tea was a violation of principles.
Since the decision to build the research institute was made, Zhang Lin naturally didn't waste any time. After entertaining Lei Xiaojun, he began handling the matters related to the institute.
Being the first time, he lacked experience, but fortunately, County Magistrate Liu was also very keen on having the farm's research institute built. So, he took over the review process and contacted the provincial research institute and relevant provincial departments.
Meanwhile, County Magistrate Liu also reached out to his connections in the province to expedite the approval process.
Before long, the county staff worked overtime to send the review documents to the province as soon as possible.
At the provincial research institute, in a research area, Elder Zheng and his research team arrived after the New Year.
In the field, several colorful flowers had already blossomed.
These flowers were the Mosigan Flowers cultivated with the help of Liyuan Farm, which could be used to create the special neurotoxin.
After Liyuan Farm helped research and develop this flower, the team, through their efforts, managed to grow several more, marking significant progress.
"Elder Zheng, this research is a sure success! How wonderful!" exclaimed a researcher.
"We have Liyuan Farm to thank for this," Elder Zheng sighed, "Liyuan Farm has helped us before, and their contribution with the giant pumpkin was significant. Yet, all we could offer was a mere research contribution award!"
Just then, a manager approached, "Elder Zheng, there's an opportunity to repay Liyuan Farm. They want to build an agricultural research institute, and the application is with our provincial research institute. To repay them, you could use your status and influence to promote it. I'm sure graduates and talented individuals from various agricultural schools in the south would be willing to work at Liyuan Farm."
"Is this true?" Elder Zheng's eyes lit up. This was indeed a chance to repay Liyuan Farm, but he was more concerned about Liyuan Farm's research capabilities.
Even without an institute, they had already developed numerous products. With the institute and additional talent, Liyuan Farm might even establish a benchmark agricultural research institute for the province.
This would greatly benefit agriculture in Fujin Province.
