According to Professor Chen, the yield of general tomato varieties grown in the open air is at most 8,000 kilograms per mu. If it is grown in a greenhouse, the yield can reach 15,000 kilograms per mu.
However, the tomato trees cultivated through this grafting technology have an astonishingly high yield, with a minimum yield of about 30,000 kilograms per mu.
Moreover, many varieties can be grafted and the quality is also very good.
Unfortunately, I have to pay for it out of my own pocket and cannot conduct large-scale trials, so it will be difficult to observe the best results in the short term.
After listening to Professor Chen's talk, Zhou Bin was overjoyed: "Professor Chen, you spoke so well. We are destined to be together. When you are done with your work, I will treat you to a meal. I also need your help with something."
Chen Yue looked at Zhou Bin in surprise. He felt that the village chief was a little too enthusiastic. They just met for the first time, but he wanted to treat him to a meal. He felt a little flattered.
But he could not resist Zhou Bin's repeated invitations, and finally nodded in agreement.
Zhou Bin helped him carefully place the dug plants into special containers to keep them moist, and then Zhou Bin led him to the scenic area.
At Zhou Bin's invitation, Professor Chen tasted a special feast of theirs.
After dinner, Zhou Bin invited Professor Chen to his office to rest.
Only then did Professor Chen learn that these two scenic spots also belonged to Zhou Bin, and he immediately looked at him differently.
Zhou Bin personally brought tea to Professor Chen and lit a cigarette for him, which touched Professor Chen very much.
He was a little surprised that such a big boss was so enthusiastic towards him.
Zhou Bin said while drinking tea: "Professor Chen, didn't you say you wanted to conduct an experiment? Do you think we can do it here?"
Professor Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Here? The soil here is very good, very suitable for growing tomatoes, but don't you grow apples?"
Zhou Bin explained with a smile: "Although we grow apples, we have a lot of land and we plant wheat instead, which doesn't bring much benefit. So I want to try diversified planting."
"Well, so there is no problem with the land here. However, this is called an experiment, so there are risks, and the investment is not small. I'm afraid..." Professor Chen knows the risks involved.
Zhou Bin did not hesitate at all: "Professor Chen, as long as you agree, I am willing to fund this experiment for you, and I will bear all the expenses. In addition, I will give you 20,000 yuan per month for technical guidance. The purpose is to grow these tomatoes, and then we can give priority to trial planting here."
Professor Chen was shocked. Not only did they provide him with the venue and funds, but they also wanted to pay him a salary. Was this a good thing true or false?
He was a little dazed for a moment, didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Bin quietly.
Zhou Bin said sincerely: "Professor Chen, actually I am not doing this for myself. I have enough money. I want to help the villagers increase their income. I hope you can agree."
Professor Chen was actually worried about this matter recently. He didn't expect to meet such a generous person here. To be honest, he really wanted it.
Therefore, at Zhou Bin's request, Professor Chen immediately nodded and agreed.
When Zhou Bin saw that Professor Chen agreed, he was overjoyed.
Ask him to tell Professor Chen that his family has five acres of land, which they usually grow corn on.
However, his family had stored a lot of food before, and now he could buy food, so he gave up the good land and gave it to Professor Chen for the experiment.
When Professor Chen heard this, he immediately agreed, thinking that five acres of land was enough to build a greenhouse.
In order to make his opinion serious, Zhou Bin also wrote a cooperation agreement and signed it with Professor Chen.
Professor Chen was very excited and said that he would go back and report to the school immediately, and then bring people over, and then they could start building the greenhouse.
Zhou Bin invited Professor Chen to dinner again before sending him away.
For Zhou Bin, this was truly a pleasant surprise. With Professor Chen, they had one more option for their future.
After Zhou Bin returned home, he immediately told his father the news.
After hearing this, Zhou Jianming was a little curious: "Binbin, you said you want to grow tomatoes? No one here has ever grown them before!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I know, it's because no one has planted it before, so I want to pave a way for everyone."
Zhou Jianming thought about it carefully and felt that this was a good idea. Tomatoes were not cheap.
By then, when everyone in the village grows tomatoes, wouldn’t everyone’s income increase significantly?
