Xiao Shan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I never expected Wu Tian to be so amazing, able to cultivate seeds so well that they can mature in just one month. It's simply unheard of!"
Lu Yuan chuckled to himself, but didn't tell Xiao Shan the truth. Actually, Wu Tian was also somewhat surprised after receiving Lu Yuan's seeds. During the first batch of experiments, he felt that these seeds were extraordinary because they were quite strong in their resistance to cold, drought, viruses, and insect pests.
Moreover, the most distinctive feature of these seeds is their extremely fast growth rate. Even after being tested in very harsh conditions such as saline-alkali land and seawater, the wheat grew very well, completely overturning his previous understanding. Although he was engaged in materials research and development, many things are interconnected, especially for a top student like him. He could understand the underlying mechanisms with just a little research.
He knew that once these seeds were planted in suitable soil, the growth rate of the plants would increase significantly. Some time ago, Wu Tian excitedly called Lu Yuan because the seeds he planted in the right environment only took about a month from breeding to maturity, which was something he had never imagined.
After finishing most of his work, Lu Yuan knew it was time to go back. It was already close to November, and there were only about three months left until the next year. He wondered when the earthquake would occur after the New Year. In his dream, Lu Yuan remembered the great earthquake, which was around the Lantern Festival.
That day, Lu Yuan was eating, while Chen Bin was simply giving instructions on the progress of some construction sites. Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, and an urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie next to Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, people have arrived at the survivor base!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned. People from the survivor base? Were they here to cause trouble? He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Chen Bin and the others followed Lu Yuan toward the gate with resolute expressions.
Upon arriving at the gate, Lu Yuan noticed that something seemed amiss. Several cars were parked outside, but there weren't many people inside. Judging from their demeanor, they didn't seem to be looking for trouble. One of the men was dressed in a refined manner, wearing a gray-black suit, with spotless leather shoes and short, energetic-looking hair.
Today, the other party greeted the security guard with a smile and said, "When is your CEO Lu coming? I really am here to discuss cooperation. We have no ill intentions, really, you can believe me!"
However, the guards still looked tense. Having suffered a setback, the group no longer believed that anything good would come their way from the survivor base. Several guards, holding electric batons, stared intently at them and shouted, "Back off! If you don't back off, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Lu Yuan frowned and walked over. When the security guards saw Lu Yuan arrive, they all stepped aside.
Seeing the way the people around him treated Lu Yuan, the man in the suit immediately realized that the man in front of him was probably the person he was looking for. He leaned forward slightly, coughed softly, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Lu Yuan?"
"It's me. What do you need me for?" Lu Yuan stared at the man for a moment, noticing that he didn't exude any dangerous aura and seemed to be a kind-hearted person.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan identify himself, the man smiled and said, "Oh, it's like this. Last time, we had some conflict with you at our base because our boss Tan's brother caused some trouble due to his poor performance, resulting in some unnecessary losses for you. So, I've come here specifically to express my apologies on behalf of our boss Tan!"
After the other person finished speaking, several people behind him carried two pigs and placed them in front of them.
Lu Yuan sat there, frowning as he looked at the two pigs on the ground. He asked with some doubt, "What? Did your boss, Mr. Tan, really say that?"
The other party quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what our boss Tan meant. He had no malicious intent, and he also knows that Sun Tao deliberately came to cause trouble for you last time. He also realized his own mistake. He failed to manage his men properly, which led to your losses. Even if you killed Sun Tao, it was his own fault. Our boss Tan doesn't blame you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan became somewhat suspicious. He couldn't believe that someone so powerful in the survivor base would be showing him goodwill; there must be something fishy going on. However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and the man in front of him spoke eloquently. Nevertheless, Lu Yuan didn't relax. After all, he needed to be extra careful at times like this, in case the other party tried another underhanded trick and he fell into trouble.
So Lu Yuan pointed to the two pigs on the ground and said, "Then please thank your boss Tan for his kindness. You can take these two pigs back with you; we have plenty of meat here!"
After offering a forced smile, the man didn't have anyone bring the pig back. Instead, he stood up and said quietly, "I came here today to discuss a collaboration with you!"
"Cooperation? What is there for us to cooperate on!"
The man coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you have a lot of chickens here that can eat bloodthirsty black beetles. Although we have established a base there, there are still some places where bloodthirsty black beetles attack. And Qingshui City is far away from here, so it is indeed quite troublesome to buy a batch of chickens."
So we're planning to buy a batch from you. You can name your price; even if you need manpower, land, or some equipment, we can consider it!
A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He couldn't understand why the other party would be so humble and eager to cooperate with him. If it was for the sake of the chickens that ate the bloodthirsty black beetles, then they didn't need to do this. Although the bloodthirsty black beetles were still rampaging in all regions, people had now developed many ways to resist them.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan said, "Alright, I can sell you some of the chickens, but I need a few doctors. I still need to ask about the rest before we can cooperate. I'll agree to this for now! But let me make this clear: if you're really here to cooperate, I welcome it. But if you're here to cause trouble instead of to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The man quickly put on a smile and said, "Of course, of course, we're all here sincerely to discuss cooperation!"
Hearing that the other party was there for cooperation, Lu Yuan remained somewhat skeptical. However, since they were willing to agree, why not just bring some doctors and equipment from their base? After all, his own base was still lacking! Since someone had offered it to him, what did their purpose matter? He could always return it later! Why not take advantage of an opportunity? However, he should be careful about changing his mind, since he had heard that this President Tan was no ordinary person.
