Everyone in Beijing knows Ji Xia's name. Previously, it was Beijing University that led the Rice Planting Research Institute and Ji Xia. It was not that Beijing University was unwilling to give up a laboratory. When Zhu Hezheng heard that it was for rice research, he did not want to lose a talent in the future because of a wrong decision of his own.
When Luo Xinguang heard that Ji Xia had arrived, he immediately brought people to greet her in person, "Mr. Ji, nice to meet you!"
Luo Xinguang stepped forward with both hands. Ji Xia shook hands with him reservedly and introduced the person behind him to him, "This is Comrade He Wanqing whom I mentioned. She has profound attainments in bioengineering. In view of the current national situation, she decided to focus her energy on rice cultivation research.
This is Comrade Qiao Xiuqi, the head of the logistics department at the high-speed rail manufacturing plant. He is accompanying us this time."
Luo Xinguang looked at He Wanqing calmly. She was very young, in her early twenties. She shouldn't have profound attainments at such an age, but with a perverted talent like Ji Xia in front of him, Luo Xinguang didn't dare to look down on her. He greeted He Wanqing with almost the courtesy of a peer.
But towards Qiao San, Luo Xinguang was much more casual.
"Come to my office and sit for a while and have a cup of tea?" Luo Xingguang said.
Ji Xia, "Okay, I'll bother you for a while then."
The four of them sat down in the office. Luo Xinguang personally poured tea and exchanged a few pleasantries, mainly asking about the progress of the high-speed rail. Ji Xia explained what she could, and Luo Xinguang said, "We would certainly welcome Comrade He Wanqing to join us. I haven't heard of the term bioengineering. I wonder what kind of research it refers to?"
He suspected that He Wanqing had returned from abroad, but this was a taboo topic these days. He didn't dare ask, and even if he asked, the other party wouldn't tell him, so he simply didn't ask.
This is He Wanqing's area of expertise. "In fact, the concept of bioengineering already exists abroad. Bioengineering can also be considered a technology. It is the application of modern scientific and technological means, such as machinery, electronics, and computers, based on biological theories, to manipulate genetic material, directionally modify organisms or their functions, and create new species with extremely distantly related traits in a short period of time."
Luo Xinguang didn't quite understand what he heard, but he was still surprised. Foreign biological science had already developed to this point. Fortunately, Comrade Ji Xia had found such talents for them.
"Are there any new technologies that can be applied to rice cultivation?" Luo Xinguang asked.
He Wanqing said, "We can enhance rice's resistance to biological and environmental factors through genetic modification. However, this technology is not yet mature, so genetic modification technology cannot be widely applied to agricultural production for the time being."
The impact is so huge and far-reaching.
"But we can start with hybrid rice. I know that our country has experts currently cultivating hybrid rice. I am very optimistic about the prospects of this project. I joined in the hope of using what I have learned to help the veterans."
Luo Xinguang was very moved. He saw many great old scientists returning to their motherland without hesitation and working hard for the country's strength and prosperity. He did not expect that he would be able to see such a young generation with the same ambitions and such deep patriotism.
"Okay, welcome Comrade He to join us. With you here, I believe our country's rice cultivation will soon reach a new level." Luo Xingguang said.
Luo Xinguang called someone over and took He Wanqing to go through the employment procedures.
Ji Xia wanted to discuss laboratory matters, which was a big deal, so Qiao San also stayed.
"We're not setting up a lab to give Comrade He a chance to get into the research institute," Ji Xia said. "She's a good friend of mine, but if she didn't have the ability, I wouldn't recommend her."
Luo Xinguang hurriedly said, "Comrade Ji, we all see what kind of person you are, and we have deep faith in your character. Even if you don't say this, we all know it. We also believe that Comrade He must have something extraordinary to be able to gain your appreciation and recognition."
Ji Xia said, "I sincerely hope that our country can be at the forefront of the world in every field, whether it's computer science or bioengineering. As long as new disciplines and technologies are discovered abroad in advance, I hope we will have talents in these areas. Even if there are no results in the short term, this seed must be planted."
Luo Xinguang agreed deeply. "Comrade Ji, you are absolutely right. This is the responsibility of our generation, and it is also your responsibility. You are still young and can take up the burden early. We old guys are really relieved. There is always hope for the country!"
"As for the laboratory, it's time to build it. I've already prepared all the experimental equipment. Comrade He is very experienced in setting up laboratories, so I think you can confidently hand this work over to her. I hope our laboratory will be world-class, both in terms of equipment and management."
Ji Xia was hinting at something, and Luo Xinguang understood it. He was very excited. "In the future, China will also have a world-famous 'Bell Labs'."
The two smiled at each other.
Ji Xia said, "When the time comes to hand over the experimental equipment, please have Comrade He contact Comrade Qiao."
"No problem, no problem. I'll trouble you, Comrade Qiao." Only then did Luo Xinguang realize that Comrade Qiao was not a driver.
Ji Xia thought of someone at this time. He should be in the local agricultural research institute. She was just thinking about it and did not suggest transferring the person to Beijing. She did not want to change the person's growth trajectory at will.
The entry procedures were completed quickly. There are single dormitories here, but it is very inconvenient to live in. The public toilet is 50 meters away, and you have to run that far to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
Many people use chamber pots at home, so He Wanqing had to queue up with a group of people to empty the chamber pots early in the morning. She couldn't accept it.
The three of them returned to the guesthouse together to check out. Qiao San carried He Wanqing's luggage and drove back to the courtyard.
Qiao San was so happy that he could bring his wife back. Since they had to clean up the house, Ji Xia asked Qiao San to take a temporary leave today. After settling He Wanqing, she drove back to the company.
Since Qiao San was not around, Ji Xia asked someone to call He Xiangdong over and handed Qin Changqing over to He Xiangdong.
"Comrade He is from the Logistics Department. Your future work focus will be in the Logistics Department. For the time being, follow Comrade He to familiarize yourself with the situation." Ji Xia said to Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing met He Xiangdong and followed him out. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Boss Ji, Comrade Cao Shuiyun and I had a very fruitful discussion about the quality management system. Can I spare half a day every day to come back and work with her on the quality management system?"
