The authorities seemed to have made ample preparations for Xu Milu's sudden arrival. Not only did Xu Jianan and Li Rui arrive in Beijing in advance to make preparations, but when Chen Yuanyu arrived at the meeting room with his liaison team, he was carrying a bouquet of flowers with a red banner hanging on it.
"Welcome home, heroes."
Xu Milu: "..."
Goodness, now "Ren Honghe's" identity as a staunch Chinese is welded to the spot, right?
"What surprises has Ms. Ren brought us this time? Last time it was in Sichuan and Chongqing, which wasn't exactly my home turf. Now that she's in Beijing, I must do my best to be a good host and entertain Ms. Ren!"
Chen Yuanyu has a knack for making polite remarks sound like the truth, but fortunately, Xu Milu has also developed a similar "split personality" ability.
Wearing the pseudonym "Ren Honghe," she leisurely sat down on the sofa in the reception room, glanced at Xu Jianan beside her, gesturing for the other to accept the flowers, before speaking with neither servility nor arrogance:
"I am just a businessman. A businessman's job is to make a profit. Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration for you to compare me to a hero?"
Seeing that "Ren Honghe" accepted the bouquet of flowers, Chen Yuanyu's eyes flickered, knowing that she hadn't rejected the goodwill extended by the Chinese government. He immediately chimed in, cheerfully saying:
"Ms. Ren has already brought us enough 'miracles.' Since we've already cooperated once, let's get straight to the point and start this purchase. First, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Cai Mingming from the Ministry of Commerce of China. She's in charge of the payment for this transaction. Haha, she's China's money bag!"
The Chinese government is well aware that the seeds released by the Honghe Research Institute are not on the same level as the seeds in Ren Honghe's possession. Just take the currently hot and globally watched "Laurel No. 1" as an example; it is the only one of its kind in the world.
Conquering cancer and tumors is the dream of many scientists, but no one expected that the opportunity for a breakthrough would come from outer space.
The laurel tree that has now been successfully cultivated is more precious than lunar soil. Within just a few hours after the press conference, foreign ministries from various countries sent congratulatory messages, along with very good, even overly generous, cooperation terms offered by their respective officials, all in an attempt to get a share of the profits.
This tiny "Laurel No. 1" tree can bring so much to China.
Thinking this, Chen Yuanyu looked at Xu Milu with even gentler eyes, as if he were looking at a walking "treasure trove".
Although Xu Milu couldn't understand the political maneuvering involved, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere of this collaboration was much more relaxed.
There is now an unspoken understanding between her and the Chinese government. "Ren Honghe" guarantees the Chinese government the priority right to purchase new varieties of seeds, and the Chinese government provides corresponding protection and endorses the Honghe Research Institute. It is like a high wall that blocks all the wind and rain from the outside.
"Okay, let's get started then. I don't want to waste time."
Xu Milu reached out and tapped in the air. The light blue system panel reappeared, exuding a futuristic feel. Everyone in the room, whether they had seen it before or not, showed a hint of emotion on their faces.
They say seeing is believing, but anyone would be excited to witness such a magical scene.
