Dean Hu picked it up and looked at it for a while, then asked with a little surprise, "Oil palm and rubber? You want to study this?"
Jiang Qingyue nodded and said seriously, "That's right, Dean Hu, this is my application. I hope you can give me some advice after reading it."
After hearing what she said, Dean Hu immediately turned the pages and read them carefully.
Hu Changying, who was standing by, wanted to stretch his head to take a look, but was blocked.
I had no choice but to look away. "Comrade Jiang, if I remember correctly, you have always lived in the north from birth to college and work, and have never been to the south. Why did you suddenly want to study species that are only found in our Austronesian Islands?"
"You haven't even seen it, how can you guarantee that you have the ability to do it?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled calmly, "Yes, I have always been in the north, and I have only seen these two crops in some information."
"However, I actually wanted to study it a long time ago, but I never had the conditions. Now that I have finally come to the South Island, I have the opportunity and I want to give it a try."
Dean Hu watched carefully while listening to what Jiang Qingyue was saying.
Seeing how eager she was to do this project, he asked curiously, "You studied food before, why did you suddenly want to study this?"
Jiang Qingyue paused for a moment, then answered seriously, "President Hu, to be honest, before I came here, I was also very interested in the rice research at our South China Institute of Breeding Technology. But after talking to you before the New Year, I found that our rice research has always been on the right and progressive path in terms of experience, technology, and direction."
"Whether I join or not, nothing will change."
"But later I took advantage of my free time to learn about some of our local crops. I found that oil palm and rubber are actually as important as food and have great value, but they have not been properly utilized. This is the original reason why I changed my mind."
When Dean Hu heard this, he suddenly stopped turning the pages.
He looked at Jiang Qingyue with great interest, "Please tell me more about it."
Even Hu Changying, who was standing beside her, was pricking up her ears, wanting to hear what she would say.
Jiang Qingyue smiled calmly upon seeing this, and then said,
"Take the oil palm for example. It is actually a treasure from head to toe. The oil content in its fruit reaches over 50%. Other countries have given it the name 'the world's oil king'."
"Not only is the oil content high, but the oil is also widely used. I heard that in foreign countries, it is used to make various fried foods and produce various military and civilian items, such as various high-grade lubricants and soaps, etc."
"But in our country, although the species has been introduced, it has always been used as a greening tree. According to the current development speed of our country, I am afraid that it will not take many years for us to import this oil on a large scale."
After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, the office fell into silence.
After a long while, Dean Hu nodded excitedly, "Comrade Jiang, I really didn't expect that you are not only good at scientific research, but most importantly, you are also good at discovery and summary."
"I have lived in the South Island for most of my life. I see these oil palm trees every day when I go back and forth. I have thought about it before, but I have never thought about it as deeply as you do."
After saying that, Dean Hu turned his head to look at Hu Changying and snorted, "Have you thought about it?"
Hu Changying no longer had the momentum he had just now, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing his father suddenly questioning him like this, he felt a little guilty, but still argued, "But it was originally introduced for oil extraction. The reason why it has become like this later is that it has been eliminated. The people who grow it have no confidence. What can we do?"
Jiang Qingyue paused and explained, "This is the significance of our scientific research. I also asked some local farmers about the reasons why I was eliminated before, and I found some problems. I have listed them one by one above."
"My idea is to address these problems by breeding superior varieties and experimenting with high-yield, high-oil, dwarf and windproof oil palms."
As soon as Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Dean Hu stood up excitedly.
"Okay, I've read your report and I think it's worth studying. Your ideas are also invaluable. I'll submit my application to the higher-ups as soon as possible and hope to get more cooperation and support. Just let me know if you need anything."
Jiang Qingyue didn't expect that this application would be so smooth.
Especially when someone was deliberately interfering, President Hu still gave such great support.
She had originally made a backup plan, thinking that by choosing between the two, one would eventually pass.
Now that oil palm has been approved and is the one she wants to choose the most at the moment, she plans to go for it first.
But before she left, Dean Hu turned to another page of rubber.
"Comrade Jiang, tell me more, what do you think of this rubber?"
Jiang Qingyue paused and continued, "Rubber is also an important and irreplaceable strategic material in our country. It has a wide range of uses in military, civilian and various manufacturing industries—"
Next, Jiang Qingyue talked for a long time.
From the importance and economic value of rubber to its future prospects.
And the cultivation direction of rubber trees.
By the time she finished speaking, her mouth was dry.
Dean Hu smiled and poured her a glass of water. Then he pointed at Hu Changying and asked, "Have you noticed the gap between you and me? We who are engaged in agricultural research cannot just work hard. We also need to think more about the aspects Comrade Jiang just mentioned."
Hu Changying had already been devastated and didn't want to say a word.
Dean Hu saw this and turned to Jiang Qingyue and said solemnly, "I think we shouldn't wait for the rubber project. We can do it at the same time. Do you think it's difficult?"
Jiang Qingyue was indeed in a difficult situation as doing these things required her to go out frequently.
All of this takes a lot of time and effort.
It is impossible for one or two people to complete it.
Then he said, "President Hu, the projects can be carried out simultaneously. The main problem is manpower."
Dean Hu smiled and said, "I'll find a way to get more people. If that doesn't work, can we continue to borrow from Beijing?"
"By the way, didn't you study agronomy before? Look at your former classmates and colleagues at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Do you have any recommendations?"
"But there's no need to recruit senior researchers this time, otherwise Old Jin will definitely get angry with me. As long as I can help you with auxiliary work, that's fine."
Jiang Qingyue was delighted and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll contact them first."
