After Mo Yuan's instructions, the two returned to the courtyard. Old Zhou was not a talkative person to begin with, and as a university professor, he sat there wearing glasses, dressed like a typical intellectual, and looked quite convincing.
Mo Yuan had instructed Lao Zhou beforehand not to mention any related professional knowledge. After all, as Lao Zhou said, his own expertise was in mechanical principles, which had nothing to do with chemical knowledge such as fertilizer plant formulas. Therefore, Mo Yuan allowed Lao Zhou to use his professional knowledge, only needing to comment on the potential problems with the equipment provided by Wilson and others.
However, even new machines cannot be guaranteed to be 100% problem-free. These outdated devices will inevitably have some issues, more or less. For an expert like Lao Zhou, identifying these problems is not difficult.
Therefore, when discussing these devices, Lao Zhou could talk eloquently, yet his explanations were often baffling. Whenever the other party pressed for specific details, Lao Zhou would evade the question, or even pass the topic to Mo Yuan, leaving the explanation to him.
“I’ve already told Mo Yuan about these issues. You can talk to him about these minor matters; he can represent me on my behalf!”
Then Mo Yuan began to point out that although the technology provided by Wilson seemed quite advanced, there were still many areas for improvement. Old Zhou had previously mentioned these areas to him, even briefly discussing some related core technical issues.
At first, Wilson didn't take it seriously, but as Mo Yuan became more and more detailed, especially since he actually made some substantial points, and even wrote down some molecular structures and rough fertilizer formulas on paper, Wilson and John began to pay more attention.
The two sides exchanged a glance. As the representatives who had come to negotiate, they naturally possessed considerable professional knowledge, especially regarding their fertilizer plant's core technology. The technology they offered was the latest development, and although it was not yet mature, it was already in a leading position within the industry.
The technology represents the cutting edge of the future, and although their engineers are considering how to upgrade and replace it, progress is slow due to current limitations.
But what Mo Yuan was proposing really was their future development direction. The two were somewhat suspicious, wondering how this young man could know so much about their technology. Could he be a spy sent by their competitor?
However, they quickly abandoned the idea.
Since the other party is Chinese and has never been abroad before, how could he possibly come into contact with people in such a professional field? This should be the first time he has come into contact with related technologies.
However, the ideas and design concepts he provided are definitely worth trying. If, as he said, Mo Yuan and his team possess some professional technologies that even their fertilizer plant lacks, then they could seriously consider purchasing them at great expense.
In this way, they will be in the most leading and monopolistic position in the international market, and the economic benefits they can obtain are simply immeasurable.
However, judging from Mo Yuan's performance, this didn't seem to be the case, and his suggestions were indeed very constructive. If they followed his advice, their product quality would be greatly improved, and their market competitiveness would be stronger. The two discussed it and ultimately decided to listen to Mo Yuan's opinion first to see what he really thought.
Originally, everyone thought Mo Yuan would make unreasonable demands, but surprisingly, he didn't. He changed the subject, no longer mentioning the topic, and instead warmly invited both sides to tour the village.
Now, Wilson and his team were eager to extract more information from Mo Yuan. After all, this matter concerned their future prospects. If what Mo Yuan said was true, they would gain tremendous merit if they brought this news back to company headquarters, potentially even surpassing the importance of facilitating this cooperation.
While this collaboration could allow them to profit from China and expand their market, if the technology Mo Yuan mentioned actually exists, it would have a greater impact on the company's overall development.
Therefore, they were eager to confirm the authenticity of these technologies, and the few details Mo Yuan had revealed were insufficient for them to draw a final conclusion. Even if they did confirm the technologies, they would still need to report to their superiors. Thus, they were anxious to learn more details.
"Mr. Mo, could you please tell us more about this technology? We are very interested in it. If you would like, could you provide us with more detailed information? This would allow us to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, and if it is indeed as you say, we can consider purchasing your technology. Moreover, we can offer you certain preferential policies and conveniences in our cooperation. In short, everything is negotiable! Please elaborate further."
However, Mo Yuan deliberately avoided this topic and instead shifted his attention to other things: "Gentlemen, there is an old Chinese saying, 'Since we are here, let's make the best of it.'"
"Don't rush. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful, with lush mountains and clear waters—a truly picturesque place. Let me show you around; it would be a reward for your hard work. After all, our negotiations have been quite arduous these past few days."
With that, Mo Yuan got up and led them out of the courtyard of the educated youth settlement to visit Xiao Mo Village.
Although somewhat reluctant, Wilson had no choice but to reluctantly follow Mo Yuan on his tour of Xiaomo Village. Along the way, Mo Yuan enthusiastically introduced the village's features and history, while Wilson and the other man seemed distracted, still preoccupied with the new technology Mo Yuan had mentioned and hoping to learn more details as soon as possible. However, Mo Yuan seemed to be deliberately stalling for time, never bringing up the topic again.
Mo Yuan wasn't really idle or deliberately stalling for time, nor was he trying to take them sightseeing.
In reality, he had his own plans. During the visit, he consciously led the group deeper into the village, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the pig farm on the west side of the village. This was Mo Yuan's true destination.
Mo Yuan's intentions extended beyond simply collaborating on the fertilizer plant's patented technology; more importantly, he planned to sell them the formula for fermented feed. After all, the domestic livestock industry was still in its infancy and unable to fully realize its maximum potential.
The aquaculture industry is relatively developed abroad. Selling the technology to them would not only bring considerable economic benefits, but could also be considered one's first real pot of gold.
Moreover, while the profits from fertilizer plants are difficult to directly transfer to oneself, the technology for fermented feed is entirely under one's control, allowing for direct cooperation with the other party.
Since the other party is engaged in fertilizer production, they should be familiar with the feed industry, so there is a possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
This was also a spur-of-the-moment idea by Mo Yuan, a case of killing two birds with one stone, since collaborating on one technology or two technologies is also a form of collaboration!
But Wilson was a little confused. Why bring them to the pig farm when it's so far away?
What's so interesting about this pig?
