Chapter 352 A few more foreign friends came

Not much saline-alkaline rice is grown, but the yield is very encouraging.

Hybrid rice was not yet popular in those days, and farmers usually produced about 503 kilograms of rice per mu.

Therefore, when Chen Liangxue converted the yield into mu units, he was immediately excited when he found that the yield of this saline-alkali rice could reach 420 kilograms.

This means that the country not only makes extensive use of saline-alkali land to grow rice, but also the yield is not low.

Chen Liangxue didn't even dare to imagine how much additional food the country would get every year once all the saline-alkali land was planted with rice.

How many people’s hunger problems can be solved?

Shi Feng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He wiped the large vat for storing rice inside and out, then carefully placed the rice grains into the vat, waiting for the next round of planting.

He looked so cautious, as if what he was storing was not rice but gold.

But in Shi Feng's view, these rices are more valuable than gold. It is no exaggeration to say that they are priceless.

At the same time, he was also very fortunate that he turned back in time so that he could stay in the research institute.

Compared to the two people's excitement, Su Ranran was very calm.

Because the rice production is far less than the space.

However, in order not to attract attention, she could only learn a little from Chen Liang to improve the rice yield.

The experimental report on the adhesive has been approved, but just to be on the safe side, it will be sprayed on a large scale in the experimental fields designated by the troops.

At the same time, Su Ranran also applied for subsidies for military wives who failed to get into graduate school.

The higher-ups are very satisfied with the research progress of saline-alkali rice and are willing to give some subsidies to these selfless military wives.

Each person receives a subsidy of 12 yuan per month, and those who perform well receive additional rewards.

Hearing the news, the military wives were overjoyed.

Although spraying adhesive and farming are not easy jobs.

But they had helped voluntarily, and now they could get twelve dollars a month, which was a pleasant surprise for them.

However, what surprised them even more was Su Ranran's next plan.

"Pig feed processing plant?"

Cao Yuhong’s eyes widened.

She knew what a pig was, but what was pig feed?

It's no wonder she asked this question. After all, raising pigs these days generally involves cutting grass for the pigs, and at best growing some vegetable leaves to feed them is pretty good.

They had never seen any pig feed.

But this is not important. What is important is that Su Ranran said she wants to open a pig feed processing plant in the future.

That’s a factory!

If successful, they will be the first batch of formal workers in the factory.

This is undoubtedly great news for military wives who are unable to get into graduate school!

"Ranran, I don't know how to thank you." Li Lanru's eyes were red.

Although her husband receives an allowance every month, they have not yet separated. There are many brothers in the family, and he is a filial person, so he sends most of the allowance back to his hometown every month.

What was left for them was barely enough to live on.

It’s not that Li Lanru didn’t protest before, but she depended on him for food, and her voice was weak, so protesting was useless.

Now she can get a subsidy of 12 yuan a month, and she will be able to be more confident in the future.

And if that pig feed processing plant can be successfully built, their wages might even increase.

With a radish hanging in the balance, the military wives were more concerned about running the animal feed processing plant than Su Ranran was.

Without her telling them anything, they prepared the adhesive themselves and sprayed it on all the experimental fields.

Su Ranran was not idle either. She took advantage of the time she was on the island to bring back some raw seeds needed for pig feed.

For a while, the entire Pingzhou Island family compound was plunged into a bustling bustle.

The military wives are all working harder than each other.

Although many of them do not have any talent, when it comes to farming, they are all better than each other!

Meanwhile, negotiations on the sequencer at the machinery factory had reached a deadlock.

"Director, they are only willing to pay one million. They won't give you the model of machine you want."

Although I am not sure whether this sequencer can really be sold for so much money.

But Li Jianye still listened to Su Ranran and found a few eloquent people to negotiate with some foreign friends.

There were four foreign friends who came down this time, all of them had blond hair and blue eyes.

Li Jianye couldn't understand what they were saying, and the two sides had to rely on the translator who came with him from Jingshi to communicate.

Logically speaking, these are sensitive times and no one wants to have anything to do with overseas.

But they were brought here personally by the leaders from Beijing City, so Li Jianye was not too worried.

At this time, when Xiang Wangfei, who was negotiating, said that the other party was willing to pay 1 million US dollars, Li Jianye couldn't help but be shocked!

"Did they really say it was in US dollars? Did you hear that correctly?"

That's U.S. dollars. They have spent countless efforts over the years to buy foreign machine tools, but they have been begging and pleading but to no avail.

After much difficulty, the other party finally agreed to sell the product to them, but in the end, they got discarded junk.

But even for these pieces of junk, they still spent tens of millions of dollars.

You have to know that the salary of ordinary workers in that era was only 20 or 30 yuan.

One US dollar is equal to two RM coins, which means they have to spend almost two million RM coins to exchange for an obsolete machine tool.

But now they have easily agreed to spend 1 million US dollars to buy the sequencer?

You have to know that they had to work very hard to successfully negotiate the purchase of the machine tools.

The fact that they gave in so easily made Li Jianye believe Su Ranran's words more and more.

"No hurry, just treat them well first, and don't give up on my terms!"

Knowing that they really wanted the sequencer, Li Jianye became interested.

Xiang Wangfei was a little hesitant.

"Director, isn't this condition a bit too harsh? What if they regret not wanting it?"

Everyone in the factory knew how difficult it was to get these foreigners to sell them machine tools.

Now that they have agreed to give us one million U.S. dollars, will they be willing to give us another machine tool?

"Don't worry about it, just do it."

After sending the person away, Li Jianye made another phone call.

Inside the guesthouse, a few blond-haired, blue-eyed guys were whispering about something.

Taking advantage of the fact that others couldn't understand them, they didn't hold back their voices.

"Are you sure that genetic sequencer is really useful, Bill?" the only woman among the group asked again.

"Although it's hard to believe, I'm sure that the damn sequencer can do gene sequencing." The man named Bill gestured exaggeratedly.

How could they not be shocked that such a poor and backward country, where even their obsolete machine tools are treasured, could develop such high-tech things?

But the machine tools that these poor guys want are still in use. How could they be willing to give them away for free?

"We have to think of a way to make them give up this ridiculous idea. There is no way we can give them a machine tool!"

The blonde said with disdain.

Li Jianye was not in a hurry about this. He just asked someone to treat them well and he went to work as usual every day.

After about seven or eight days, just when the patience of the foreigners was about to run out and they were about to give them an ultimatum, a few more foreign friends came to the factory!
