After Gouzi said this, Teacher Yan was even more surprised, but she still had some doubts. After all, how did Mo Yuan get involved with foreigners? According to her understanding, Mo Yuan lived in such a small circle in Xiangcheng County and did not usually have much contact with the outside world. How could he be talking about cooperation with foreigners?
You know, most foreigners can't come to China these days, especially not to a remote little county like Xiangcheng.
Seeing the doubt on Teacher Yan's face, Gouzi thought he didn't believe him. In order to protect Mo Yuan's image, he immediately began to vividly explain what had happened: "Teacher Yan, let me tell you, that day, some foreigners came to our village. We were all very scared at the time, but we later found out that they came with Brother Yuan!"
"Oh? Mo Yuan? Why?" Teacher Yan asked curiously.
"Hehe, it's a long story. Actually, it's because these foreigners have their eyes on the fermented feed that Brother Yuan developed. They want to cooperate with Mo Yuan and buy the technology," Gouzi said smugly.
"What? Fermented feed? Isn't that what our village uses?" Teacher Yan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"Yes, it's the fermented feed that our village uses. These foreigners came here specifically to investigate and thought the technology was amazing, so they wanted to cooperate with Mo Yuan," Gouzi explained.
"Wow, I never expected Mo Yuan to be so amazing. Even foreigners are coming to him," Teacher Yan exclaimed.
“That’s right. Brother Yuan even took these foreigners to visit our village’s pig farm. They were amazed to see how well the pigs grew after eating fermented feed. Later, they discussed cooperation with him.” Gouzi continued.
"Hmm... I see. How did Mo Yuan come to know these foreigners?" Teacher Yan was still a little puzzled.
Mo Yuan felt a sense of helplessness as he listened to Gouzi's increasingly nonsensical words. He knew that if he let Gouzi continue talking nonsense, Teacher Yan would definitely be confused soon.
So he quickly interrupted Gouzi: "Teacher Yan, please don't listen to Gouzi's nonsense. The actual situation is not as he says, it's actually like this..." Then, Mo Yuan recounted the whole story in detail.
He first talked about his agreement with Bao Ruijin, saying that he would be responsible for negotiating with foreigners about the fertilizer plant, and thus met Wilson and other representatives of foreign manufacturers.
He then described in detail why they had come to Xiaomo Village, mainly to discuss issues related to fertilizer production technology. Finally, he explained that the appearance of fermented feed was purely accidental, and they were just dealing with it incidentally.
After hearing this series of events, Teacher Yan's face showed an undisguised look of surprise.
She frowned slightly, seemingly still processing the information. She wasn't particularly concerned about the fertilizer plant, as it was far removed from her area of expertise.
However, when fermented feed was mentioned, her eyes suddenly became focused, as if she had seen something that captivated her.
Professor Yan deeply understands the importance of fermented feed. As a scholar in this field, she is acutely aware of its crucial role in animal husbandry. This type of feed not only improves animal growth rates and health but also reduces breeding costs and increases farmers' income. Therefore, she has a profound understanding of the future prospects of fermented feed.
"This fermented feed..." Teacher Yan murmured to herself, "It's of great significance!" Her voice was full of excitement and anticipation.
However, when she thought about the possibility that Mo Yuan might choose to cooperate with foreigners, Ms. Yan's expression changed slightly. She was well aware of the consequences of doing so; although it would bring huge benefits, it would also mean handing over core technology to the other party.
Given Mo Yuan's current strength, it's impossible for him to dominate in front of foreigners. If he did, wouldn't the pricing power fall into their hands? With such a huge domestic market, wouldn't he be subject to their control everywhere?
Ms. Yan's brows furrowed deeper as she thought to herself, "In this way, we will lose our autonomy, and our future development will be restricted." She couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
Finally, Ms. Yan couldn't help but speak up: "Mo Yuan, I know you want to make money, but if we sell the technology to foreigners, we will lose our initiative. Moreover, foreigners are very likely to use this technology to suppress our company. At that time, we will become their puppets." Her tone was serious and firm, clearly showing that she took this matter very seriously.
Mo Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood Professor Yan's concerns. However, he knew in his heart that without cooperation with foreigners, he would find it difficult to have sufficient funds and resources to promote this technology. After all, research and development and production require a large investment, and he didn't have that much money at the moment.
Mo Yuan also knew that although the other party's concerns were not unreasonable, they did not know him well enough, so he would definitely keep a backup plan!
Teacher Yan looked at Mo Yuan and sighed deeply. She knew Mo Yuan was facing a dilemma: on one hand, economic interests, and on the other hand, national interests and industry development. She hoped Mo Yuan could find a balance that would allow him to realize his own value while protecting the interests of the country.
“Mo Yuan, I know this request might be a bit selfish and will definitely cause you losses, but…”
Unexpectedly, Mo Yuan interrupted her, "Don't worry, Teacher Yan, I know your worries. I admire you for saying these words. It shows that you are still selfless and have the country and the people in your heart. Please accept my respect!"
Then Mo Yuan bowed respectfully to express his respect and admiration for Teacher Yan.
Then, changing the subject, he smiled and said to Teacher Yan, "But don't worry, although we're cooperating, I won't relinquish control. At the very least, I won't easily let them dominate the domestic market, harming the interests of our people to satisfy my own selfish desires. I, Mo Yuan, would never do such a thing!"
Mo Yuan's firm and confident tone reassured Teacher Yan.
Seeing Mo Yuan say this, Teacher Yan also felt a little guilty. After all, the technology belonged to Mo Yuan, and in principle, it was his freedom to do whatever he wanted. She had been a bit too demanding. "Mo Yuan, I'm sorry, I..." Teacher Yan hesitated, and an apologetic expression appeared on her face.
Mo Yuan had already planned ahead and didn't want to continue on this topic, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Teacher Yan, now that we've finished looking around, we still have other things to do. Since you're here, I certainly won't let you sit idle. Come with me to see our mushroom shed, shall we?"
