Chapter 104: A wealth of experience
Just as he was saying this, the big boss unexpectedly returned early. Director Li said, "Go talk to him!" He didn't need to pour cold water on his plan; someone would do it naturally.
Seeing that he did not support her, Lu Xiang did not get discouraged and went to find the big boss.
When the senior leader saw that it was Lu Xiang, he immediately asked his secretary to greet her. He went in for a small meeting for about 20 minutes, and then after the meeting was over, he received Lu Xiang.
Ever since Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui submitted their paper last time, he had shown it to everyone at the meeting. It had won him a round of applause and praise, earning him considerable recognition.
I always look at Lu Xiang with a different eye.
Lu Xiang was preoccupied with important matters and wasn't in the mood to chat. She then brought up the issue of off-season vegetables that had been rejected in Director Li's room.
The big boss was stunned: "Is this something you came up with?"
Lu Xiang hummed.
The big leader nodded. He was transferred from a big city to the local area. His vision and knowledge were simply incomparable to those of people in a small county.
I hadn't expected such a small town to harbor hidden talents. Her ability to come up with the concept of off-season vegetables was impressive. Furthermore, he had a very detailed plan.
If we follow this plan, we can actually grow some off-season vegetables and fruits. Not easy!
The leaders knew that Shanghai and Beijing had long achieved free access to fruits and vegetables. Technology like greenhouse temperature control enabled them to produce off-season vegetables. While prices might be a bit higher, they were reasonable. Scarcity makes things more valuable. Eating the same thing every day, even if it was made by the imperial chef, would soon become a habit.
The big boss was amazed at the plan, thinking that Lu Xiang could always give him some surprises and surprises, and said, "This plan is very good!" The big boss's vision is naturally not comparable to that of local people like Director Li.
When Lu Xiang saw that the leader seemed supportive, she said she needed some funds and technical personnel.
The big boss asked, "Tell me, are you sure this thing will succeed?"
Nowadays, people like to shout slogans. Even if they are not completely sure, they will say things with full confidence. However, Lu Xiang is a very pragmatic person.
Lu Xiang said: "It is quite difficult."
The senior leader said, "Money is no problem, but you'll have to find the technicians yourself!" He then wrote a letter of introduction, saying there were some senior professors at the Agricultural College who had experience with seeds and planting. If they could be brought in, everything would be coordinated and resolved.
The Agricultural College wasn't far from their county seat, and they had wanted to open a branch campus there. However, for various reasons, it didn't happen. But there was still some connection.
It was not surprising for her to go. If the cultivation of off-season vegetables and fruits could be realized, it would not only benefit the local people, but also be very good for the experiment and research development of the Agricultural College.
The county leader said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
The county leader thought, if he could really make this happen, that would be great. He really hopes to see this thing come to fruition.
When I came out, I saw Director Li head-on. Director Li smiled and said, "Why did you get criticized? I said this thing would definitely not be allowed. What off-season vegetables and fruits? Isn't this just taking off your pants to fart, a waste of time?" His words were a bit rough.
Thinking about it, I feel that this is a waste of time and money. They are used to eating out-of-season fruits and vegetables. Can't seasonal vegetables be used? Lu Xiang said, "But the boss has already promised me!"
Director Li's expression changed immediately: "Huh?"
Lu Xiang said, "It's true!" and finally left with the letter of introduction. Director Li couldn't understand why such a wise leader would agree to play with a child!
Then I went to the big boss's office.
…
Lu Xiang struck while the iron was hot and went directly to the nearby county town to find the Agricultural College.
The Agricultural College sounds like it's very grand, but it's actually just a bungalow with a shabby sign. From a distance, you can hear someone crying inside.
Lu Xiang immediately took a few quick steps. Seeing an elderly man in distress, she couldn't bear to see him cry, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The old man said, "All the things I worked so hard to get were stolen!"
Lu Xiang saw that the bungalow had a large yard with many rapeseed flowers planted. Many of them had been cut down and were lying here and there. Even she, an outsider, felt a little sad when she saw it. Who would do such a wicked thing?
Wait, shouldn't rapeseed flowers only bloom in March or April? They're still here this month. Aren't these the off-season vegetables she's aiming for?
Lu Xiang cheered up.
There were not many people in the Agricultural College, only eight in total. The others were all saying, "From now on, we won't sleep in anymore. We will come here every day to keep watch. If anyone dares to steal vegetables, we will fight him!" They usually plant some experimental fields in this place, but somehow they were spotted by people nearby, and every now and then they would steal the things they cultivated.
We called the police, but they ignored us because the amount was too small. The Agricultural College wanted the county to pay for a barbed wire fence, but the county was worried about hurting anyone. Did they deserve to be robbed? Everyone was speaking indignantly.
They howled in frustration for a while before noticing Lu Xiang as their visitor.
One of them asked, "Who are you looking for, girl?"
Lu Xiang said, "I came to find you!" After a pause, she said, "Actually, I have a solution!"
For a moment, everyone's attention was on Lu Xiang.
The people present were all over 40 years old and looked like native farmers. They did not have the gentle and refined appearance that the professor had imagined.
Lu Xiang then handed the letter to the old man she had sobbed to earlier. He was the dean of the Agricultural College. When he opened it, he was stunned, not even able to stop crying. He said, "Is this the idea from your county? That's brilliant!" This was the direction they were currently researching, off-season fruits and vegetables, but they were often targeted during cultivation.
I thought that we would be about ten years ahead of others in the field of full-category vegetable counterattack cultivation.
I didn’t expect that the neighboring county would be the first to propose it.
The dean was a little excited: "Who came up with this plan?"
Lu Xiang said embarrassedly: "It's me" It's far away and yet it's right in front of you.
The dean exclaimed: "Women hold up half the sky!"
Lu Xiang said, "Why don't you cooperate with our village? We will have a dedicated piece of land for your experimental field. We can not only get technical and financial support, but also keep these things!"
After all, there are no outsiders coming to the village, and the inspection in the village is still very strict. What's more, for the villagers, money and meat are valuable. As for vegetables, they are cheap in their eyes, and no one will steal them!
When Lu Xiang expressed this idea, several old professors were very excited.
