Thinking about this, Zhao Youcai was incredibly excited.
Under the cover of the woven bag, Zhao Youcai successfully took two small bags of fertilizer from the farm and put them in the woven bag. Only after making all the preparations did he walk to the gate of the high-yield corn seed breeding base.
"Who are you? What brings you here?"
Unlike other factories, where the gatekeepers are all elderly men, the gatekeeper at this high-yield corn seed breeding base is a retired soldier.
All of this is understandable, given that it is an important pillar industry of agriculture that is closely related to people's livelihoods.
"Hello, I am Zhao Youcai."
Before Zhao Youcai could even state his purpose, the man opposite him was immediately struck by Zhao's self-introduction.
"Hello, Comrade Zhao. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in and I'll take you to the director's office."
While welcoming Zhao Youcai inside, they muttered to themselves.
Although the sound was very soft, Zhao Youcai, with his amazing hearing, still heard it clearly.
"I don't know how this Xiao Wang is handling things. The important guests came to us on their own, where was he waiting to pick them up?"
It turned out that in order to invite the highly sought-after Zhao Youcai to visit the factory, he had already sent people out to inquire about the situation.
That person was an officer in the factory. After hearing that Zhao Youcai had returned home, he immediately decided to take the train to find him.
But now Zhao Youcai has arrived, and Xiao Wang is nowhere to be seen. I really don't know if he's a good or bad person.
If Xiao Wang, the clerk, knew that Zhao Youcai had come to the factory, he would probably be extremely aggrieved.
This happened entirely because he was fooled.
When he went to inquire about the situation yesterday, the last factory director Zhao Youcai visited didn't know that Zhao Youcai also had a high-yield corn seed breeding base to visit; he only said one thing—
"I think this is Comrade Zhao's last stop. He left by car last night, probably to go home."
Upon receiving this news, he quickly returned to his dormitory, packed a small bag of luggage, and headed to the train bound for Jilin Province.
...
The director of the high-yield corn seed breeding base, who was busy making phone calls, was stunned when he saw Zhao Youcai.
Last night, Xiao Wang came over specifically to tell him that Comrade Zhao had gone home. How come this person suddenly appeared at his office door?
However, the director didn't care about any of that. Instead, he hung up the phone with a smile, quickly got up, and went to the door to greet Zhao Youcai.
"Hello, Comrade Zhao. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Zhao Youcai remembered this person; he was one of the delegation members from Heilongjiang Province who squeezed into his carriage when gunshots rang out on the train to Beijing for the Thousand Ears Festival.
Zhao Youcai originally thought this person was a factory director or purchasing manager, but he never expected that the other party's identity was so special.
No wonder I didn't see him selling anything; he just wandered around the booths like a ghost the whole time.
Zhao Youcai had already assumed the other party was a spoiled brat who had taken someone else's spot to broaden his horizons, never expecting that the other party was actually the director of a high-yield corn seed breeding base.
"Hello, hello, I remember you."
He just looked familiar; Zhao Youcai had no idea what his name was.
Fortunately, the offices in these bases all have signs hanging on the doors, which also display the titles and names of the junior leaders inside.
Zhao Youcai saw him before he came in, so he called out the name of the other person with perfect accuracy.
"Director Hua, it's been a long time. You look even more energetic."
Director Hua laughed heartily and chatted with Zhao Youcai for a while before getting down to business.
"I know it's a bit much to ask you to come here, since we don't export the products we sell."
It's not that corn can't be exported, it's just that corn seeds can't be exported.
Nowadays, unless someone saves seeds for their own use, they are all disposable.
If people abroad buy pre-cut corn, shell it, and plant it, the only option they have is for it to rot in the ground; no corn seedlings will grow at all.
Even if it manages to grow, it will be a pure green stem that will never produce fruit.
Zhao Youcai did not interrupt the other party, but listened quietly.
“I’ve heard from many people that you’ve provided them with a lot of creative and improvement methods. I was thinking of asking if you have any ingenious ideas to increase production, so we can exchange ideas.”
This is also why Zhao Youcai inexplicably had an extra stop after arriving in Heilongjiang Province.
During Zhao Youcai's time in Heilongjiang Province, half of the factories collaborated with him to develop new formulas.
Such news naturally couldn't escape the notice of someone with connections everywhere. Even if it was a hopeless situation, Director Hua didn't want to let go of any chance of increasing production.
“When I went to Haishi to see my son last time, I met an old man on the road who looked pale and thin. He wanted to exchange what he had for some food. I exchanged three bags in total. I used one bag at home to grow vegetables, and the yield has indeed increased a lot. Do you think this is okay to use?”
Zhao Youcai was too lazy to argue, so he simply used the excuse of exchanging things with an old man he happened to meet as a pretext.
Anyway, there are no surveillance cameras or anything like that now, so no one can find out.
Director Hua raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised by this unexpected delight.
However, he did not expect that Zhao Youcai would be carrying two such heavy things on his person.
Zhao Youcai knew that his actions were strange, but it wasn't a big deal; he could always cover it up.
"I originally planned to go to Hunan Province after this trip to Heilongjiang Province. A friend of mine told me that there is a young man surnamed Yuan who teaches at Anjiang Agricultural School. It seems that he has a project that might be useful."
