On the way back from the demonstration area.
The core advisory group members could not conceal their surprise and deep thought in their eyes.
He felt even more confident about Ronald's previous positive recommendation.
Because they found that this technology... was obviously more mature and outstanding than previously expected, and had greater commercial potential.
After all, there is a lot of saline-alkali land in the world.
If we can master the core technology, we can even, to a certain extent, directly control small countries with a lot of saline-alkali land.
However, they also understand that it is almost impossible to negotiate core technology.
After returning, while waiting for lunch to begin.
The old man specifically talked to Su Wenchen, and looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, his eyes revealed imperceptible satisfaction and admiration.
"This time, your SAR has done a great job, showing the world our technological achievements of self-reliance."
"We also blocked their unreasonable demands without being servile or overbearing."
"It laid a solid foundation for our bottom line in the subsequent technical negotiations."
Su Wenchen scratched his head.
"It was you, the leader, who laid out the key points up front. Otherwise, I would have been completely lost."
Hearing this, the old man smiled and waved his hand.
"Slippery!"
But then he said seriously.
"Follow-up, regarding the export of alkali-treatment fertilizer, what are your opinions from the SAR?"
"After all, subsequent exports will be primarily produced in your Special Administrative Region, judging by the materials submitted by the Planning Commission at the time."
"The market for your alkali-control fertilizer is huge!"
"We are very short of foreign exchange right now. There are many things we want but we don't have the money to buy them."
"There's also the issue of Yuehua rabbit exports. Some people are saying that since Yuehua rabbit fur is so popular overseas, we should expand production and earn foreign exchange first."
"And about your plan to make friends."
"I've always wanted to talk to you, but I never found the time. This time, I want to hear your opinions in person."
As he spoke, the old man took Su Wenchen to the pavilion on the side of the second main building.
After hearing what his leader said, Su Wenchen was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Then, leader, I will also give you a brief report."
"Here's what I think. First of all, in terms of the development of the Special Zone, we still need to focus on alkali-cured rabbits and fast-growing chickens."
"Among them, Zhi Alkali Rabbit is mainly responsible for foreign trade, earning foreign exchange, and introducing equipment to accelerate our own development."
"Fast-growing chickens are mainly used for domestic supply. Their rapid growth and high feed-to-meat ratio can help solve the meat consumption problem of our people to the greatest extent."
"With the implementation of several projects introduced this time, I am confident that the special zone can be developed within five years."
When the old man heard this, he looked at the confident Su Wenchen and nodded with a smile.
"You're so courageous, you're really a young man!"
"But I'll remember what you said. I'll come back to check in five years."
Su Wenchen nodded confidently.
"Leader, five years from now, when you come back, you will definitely see a different Special Administrative Region."
"Well, I'll see how you guys develop."
"So what do you think about Yuehua Rabbit?"
Su Wenchen directly affirmed this statement.
"Boss, expanding production can certainly make a profit in the short term, but in the long run it will definitely do more harm than good."
“First, although high-end products earn a lot of money, their speed of dissemination is far less than that of low-end products.”
"Take our ordinary Moonlight Rabbit fur for example!"
"Why is it that despite the fact that export volume has been rising steadily over the past two years and most leathers have seen their prices drop, our ordinary Yuehua rabbit has remained strong?"
"On the one hand, our fur is really good quality."
"Another very important aspect is the driving effect of our top-level Moonlight Treasure."
"Once the price of top-quality Yuehua rabbit fur collapses, the price of our ordinary Yuehua rabbits will definitely be affected."
"So, I think it's extremely uneconomical to expand production of top-grade Yuehua rabbit fur just to make a short-term profit."
"I even think we need to maintain our brand of high-end Yuehua rabbit fur."
"For example, for this presidential visit, the leader could definitely consider gifting us a top-grade Moonlight Rabbit!"
The old man was surprised.
"Giving away live rabbits? Can you prevent the seed source from leaking out?"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"We will definitely give away those that have been castrated since childhood. Besides, now, except for breeding rabbits, we will directly castrate all other types of Yuehua rabbits after four months."
"First, castration makes them grow faster, larger, and with a larger skin area. Second, they are less likely to get sick. Finally, it reduces security pressure."
"This way, we only need to focus on taking care of the breeding rabbit farm, and that's all."
The old man nodded.
"I'll consider what you said. To be honest, the other party did mention your Yuehua Rabbit in Jing City."
“I hope to visit the farm!”
"Originally, someone suggested giving two pandas as a state gift."
"Now it seems that a panda and a moon rabbit will also do."
"By the way, how's your plan to make friends going? How confident are you?"
Hearing this, Su Wenchen thought about it.
"Judging from their attitude today, it seems like they've almost done it. Even if they haven't completely turned to us, they've already developed a strong favorable impression of us."
"However, without a basis of interests, this kind of relationship is basically not very stable."
"So in the future, I think we can appropriately allocate some resources to them when it comes to the export of alkali-treated fertilizers."
"Also, our research on treating alkaline fertilizers needs an international platform to showcase its capabilities."
"After all, it's impossible for some Western countries and companies to come and visit us casually."
"So I think creating a model for saline-alkali land management in California will do more good than harm."
"On the one hand, we can win over Ronald, and on the other hand, the United States is now the leader of the West."
"Once they build a model like this, I believe other countries troubled by saline-alkali land will come to us on their own."
"At that time, whether we settled with foreign exchange or with the other party's technology, we could gain enough benefits."
The old man nodded.
"Building a nest to attract bees?"
"It seems you are very confident in our technology!"
Su Wenchen said with a smile.
"Leader, if we don't even have confidence in ourselves, how can we earn foreign exchange?"
"You can't really sell all our good things for nothing!"
"Also, it's not just the Yuehua rabbit. I'm also thinking about whether we can enter the US market with the new Blue Water Chicken breed we're developing, the Blue Water Golden Feather Chicken!"
"If Golden Feather Chicken can also gain market share in their country, I will also consider bringing fast-growing chicken to their market next."
When the old man heard this, he was a little surprised, then smiled and shook his head.
"You really are taking advantage of me!"
"The success of our Yuehua Rabbit actually has a bit of luck in it."
Obviously, the old man also felt that even if the golden-feathered chicken could be included in foreign trade, the scale would probably be limited.
After all, it is different from treating alkaline fertilizers, which affects the country's most important land resources. No matter how delicious the chicken is, how good can it be?
How could they possibly spend so much money to import this?
Su Wenchen saw it but didn't argue, just smiled and said.
"Boss, it's the same whether you drive one sheep or release two."
"Let's just give it a try!"
"What if there's a surprise? Oh, and the main ingredient for the lunch later will be golden-feathered chicken."
"Have you tried our Blue Water Chicken? Our Blue Water Golden Feather is even better than the original one."
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the old man smiled gently.
"I've actually tasted your blue water chicken before. It was given to me by a leader from your department during last year's Spring Festival."
"My boss and I had it once and it was really delicious."
"At the time, we were saying, 'You have a global vision!' It's rare that when your farm first developed this type of broiler chicken, you were able to resist the urge to immediately start large-scale breeding."
"That's also why I refused your department's request to purchase supplies for the hospital cafeteria."
"If we add it to the hospital's purchase list, I'm sure all the cadres will follow suit, which would be bad."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was still slightly impressed.
"Leader, you don't have to be too hard on yourself. Our people's lives are getting better and better. I believe these high-end broiler chickens will gradually enter thousands of households in the future!"
The old man waved his hand.
"We'll talk about it later!"
"It's almost time, and I guess they've almost finished their internal discussions. This afternoon, you and the colleagues from the Foreign Trade Department will oversee the discussion with their advisory group regarding export-related issues."
"Let's go! I'll raise one to try that golden-feathered chicken you rave about so much!"
After the conversation in the pavilion ended, the two returned to the main banquet hall of the guild hall.
The hall was already decorated. The long banquet table was covered with a simple white tablecloth and the tableware was neatly arranged. Dishes were served one after another, steam rising and the aroma filling the air.
Taking the tastes of foreign guests into consideration, Su Wenchen did not use all local flavors.
Instead, half of the dishes are modified dishes showcasing local characteristics, while the other half are Western dishes prepared by the president's accompanying team of chefs.
As the main staff took their seats one after another, dishes were served.
The most eye-catching dish was a sliced chicken served on a large blue and white porcelain plate, garnished with emerald green onions and a few slices of brightly colored Dangshan pears. It didn't look particularly outstanding in terms of appearance.
However, Su Wenchen said directly when introducing it.
"This is the 'Golden Feather Chicken' unique to our Huanghuaihai Special Economic Zone. It is raised in an ecological free-range manner under the forest. The meat is delicious and unique. The texture of each chicken is different. Please enjoy it, my dear guests!"
“It’s perfect for eating it in its most natural way, white-cut!”
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, some people were curious, some frowned, and some shook their heads in disdain.
Out of courtesy, the president, after the translation, clumsily picked up a piece of chicken breast with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Then, his movements paused.
The entire main table seemed to be in slow motion.
The other party chewed it twice, his brows were a little surprised at first, and then suddenly relaxed, with pure curiosity and surprise bursting out in his eyes!
He didn't swallow it immediately, but closed his eyes and savored it carefully. The expression of surprise on his face could not be faked.
Seeing the president's expression, the old man sitting on the side was also a little surprised.
Apparently, when the other party was in Beijing, he just nodded politely in praise of the state banquet dishes they carefully prepared.
It's completely different from now.
Then he picked up a chopstick without saying a word.
The next moment, he looked at Su Wenchen with a look of surprise.
Obviously, he was also surprised by the taste of the golden-feathered chicken.
After tasting it.
The president put down his chopsticks and praised.
"Zhou, I just felt like I tasted the flavor of nature."
Seeing the president say this, others also picked up their knives and forks and prepared to try it.
After all, no matter whether what others say is true or not, everyone still has to save face.
However, after entering, many people subconsciously exclaimed.
Some people even chewed faster and their eyes widened.
"This...this is impossible! Is this chicken?"
"Why does it feel like I'm tasting the smoothness of top-quality ocean fish, yet with the unique texture of chicken? Can anyone explain why these two blend so perfectly?"
"Why do I taste the coolness of a mountain spring and the sweetness of fruit wood?"
"Oh! Every dish tastes so different! Does this chicken really taste different from chicken to chicken?"
Su Wenchen smiled and nodded.
"This type of broiler is rich in a variety of special flavors, and the meat grows differently depending on what it eats, so each broiler is different."
“Even the taste of different parts of the chicken is very different.”
And Ronald, who was sitting opposite Su Wenchen, was even more direct. His heroic eating style was the biggest proof at this time.
He devoured the few pieces of chicken on his plate almost in a flash.
Then he gave Su Wenchen a thumbs up.
"Su, please forgive my abruptness. Your golden-feathered chicken tastes like the first time every time."
"I think I would be very sad if I couldn't eat this kind of chicken anymore! I wonder if we could import your breeder chickens?"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he smiled and refused.
"Ronald, this is a unique taste experience created by our special environment."
“If we leave the growing environment here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to replicate this special taste!”
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the other party could only pick up the wine glass.
"Oh well!"
"It seems that we can only find a way to purchase from you!"
Su Wenchen also raised his glass with a smile.
"Thank you for your high praise. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these chickens here. They're only used to entertain our most valuable friends."
"If you really want to purchase, we need to have a more in-depth and comprehensive discussion on the specific pricing and supply agreement."
"We must ensure that this precious resource can not only reach the international high-end market, but also continue to benefit our grassroots people who most need to improve their living standards."
Obviously, this situation where both leaders are present is not a suitable occasion for negotiations.
So even though his leader had authorized him to be in charge of the afternoon negotiations, Su Wenchen simply responded briefly.
No explicit words were given, so as not to add any extra commercial atmosphere to the banquet. (End of this chapter)
