Chapter 380: Can it be Planted in the Desert?
At the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute, Zheng Lao was the first to inform the Min Province Agricultural University about the establishment of the Liyuan Farm Research Institute and its recruitment.
After all, the university had just graduated a batch of students this year, many of whom were still jobless or doing odd jobs as interns.
Working at the Liyuan Farm Research Institute would undoubtedly offer them more opportunities.
Moreover, Zheng Lao wanted to see the condition of the farm's research institute himself.
After all, with a 3000-acre area, it was undoubtedly the largest private agricultural research institute in Min Province.
If this institute could thrive, it would significantly benefit the agricultural development of Min Province.
As he was thinking, someone rushed in, "Zheng Lao, there's an important meeting at the institute regarding the desert management project."
Zheng Lao's eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Ever since he learned that international research institutes had excluded them from desert management research conferences, he knew the higher-ups would prioritize this matter.
Indeed, desert management was a crucial and challenging issue.
He accompanied the person to the conference room, where many people had already gathered.
As soon as he arrived, the presiding leader said, "Now that Zheng Lao is here, let's get down to business. You're all aware of the international desert research and management conference, right?"
"They did produce some results, so they're keeping it secret, as if they're afraid we'll ask for their help in managing our deserts."
"It's just some initial results; we don't know how effective their management methods are yet."
"Therefore, the higher-ups have instructed us to initiate relevant research projects in our respective areas, aiming to produce results as soon as possible. We'll show them that we never beg for help, and they shouldn't hide their findings. It's pointless."
Zheng Lao silently agreed with these words.
Although this research project would undoubtedly be challenging, they had to undertake it.
...
Liyuan Farm.
After the farm released its job listings, it quickly received numerous applications.
Ma Jun had been busy with this task, and some nearby candidates were already called for interviews at Liyuan Farm on the same day.
Moreover, several individuals had successfully joined the farm's research institute.
Upon hearing the news of the research institute's completion, Zhang Lin received many congratulatory messages.
For instance, Lei Xiaojun and Old Ren were among the first to send their greetings.
However, Zhang Lin had already handed over the research institute's affairs to Ma Jun, as he had another important matter to attend to.
He needed to meet Fu Yao's family.
This was his top priority at the moment, and the watch and jade jewelry he had purchased for her had already arrived, carefully packaged in exquisite gift boxes.
On the other side, Fu Yao was at home, welcoming her sister and mother.
They had traveled all the way from the Magic City to meet her uncle.
Her father would also be returning soon.
Indeed, after their parents' divorce, they were coming together for Fu Yao's sake.
Otherwise, they would have remained estranged, not even greeting each other if they met.
However, both parties had found their happiness, and Fu Yao, as their daughter, saw no need to involve herself in their affairs.
In the evening, Fu Yao also received her father, and the family had a meal together.
As for the dinner with Uncle, it's scheduled for tomorrow evening.
She will personally prepare a delicious meal for him.
Thinking of this, she also sent a message to Zhang Lin, "Uncle, my parents are back. I'm inviting you to our home tomorrow evening."
"Okay." Zhang Lin received the girl's message and immediately replied with two words.
The next day, he welcomed a guest, none other than Zheng Lao.
The purpose of his visit was obvious—it was undoubtedly related to the research institute.
"Zheng Lao, I'm very grateful for your help in contacting Min Province Agricultural University," Zhang Lin said with a smile.
With the university's connection, they could at least recruit a wave of talented individuals for their institute.
Zheng Lao waved his hand, saying, "Zhang Xiao You, there's no need to thank me. I only hope that your institute can do well and contribute to Min Province's agriculture. I'm quite curious about your institute, so I'd be happy to take a look."
Zhang Lin smiled and replied, "Zheng Lao, that's not a problem at all. Let's go and take a look now."
Without further ado, he led Zheng Lao out of the office towards the research institute.
Zheng Lao felt the difference as soon as he stepped into the institute for the first time.
The place had a strong agricultural style, yet it also exuded a powerful sense of technology, as if one could immediately sense the research atmosphere upon entering.
It was a very peculiar feeling.
"Zhang Xiao You, I wonder where Ma Jun and the others are conducting their research?" Zheng Lao asked curiously.
"In the central laboratory, Zheng Lao. This way, please," Zhang Lin invited Zheng Lao towards the central laboratory.
As they entered, Zheng Lao saw Ma Jun leading a group of people in their busy work, looking very prosperous.
Zheng Lao was a bit surprised by this scene. Previously, there were only Ma Jun and Chen Xingke at the farm, but now there were nearly 20 people inside.
Over ten of them were very young, clearly assisting with menial tasks.
As for the others, they were operating instruments and conducting experiments, indicating that they were qualified to conduct experiments independently.
This piqued his curiosity, and he approached one of them to inquire, testing the waters in their conversation.
Through a simple probe, he was surprised to find that the person's abilities were exceptional, and the research topic was highly advanced—a sign of a senior research talent.
Where did Zhang Xiao You find such talent?
Moreover, he noticed that the person's research seemed to be just a part of a larger project.
In other words, the farm was working on a substantial project.
If each of these researchers was working on a different part, then the project must be enormous.
"Zhang Xiao You, I'm curious about what project the institute is currently researching?" Zheng Lao asked with a face full of curiosity, then added, "Of course, if it's something you can't disclose, I won't press you for answers."
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "There's nothing I can't disclose. It's just a special kind of Sunrise Grape."
"Sunrise Grapes? What's so special about them? Haven't several varieties already been developed in the country?" Zheng Lao asked, perplexed. "Could it be that this Sunrise Grape has some unique effect?"
Zhang Lin nodded and didn't hide the truth, "Indeed, this Sunrise Grape is quite special. It has very low environmental requirements, and if the research is successful, it can even be planted in the desert."
"Planted in the desert?" Zheng Lao was instantly shocked.
