Seeing Chen Qiang say this.

Lu Ye glanced at Shu Wen and then said:

"Then let me talk about the first worry first."

"I'm sure Director Chen is also aware that although our inland rural policies have undergone significant changes since the reform, the grain delivery model hasn't changed much."

"Even when farmers are allocated land through the household contract responsibility system, they still pay enough to the state, leaving enough for common use, and the rest is theirs."

"Although this model can, to a certain extent, increase farmers' enthusiasm for planting, it is not suitable for large-scale, mechanized commercial planting activities."

"Because we have no way to clearly define whether the land we contract should also be subject to such grain delivery standards. If so, then we have lost the original purpose of contract farming."

The question Lu Ye raised at this moment almost directly hit the crux of the Shu family's investment project.

The biggest purpose of the Shu family's investment here is to build a large granary here that will allow the Shu family group to calmly deal with the ups and downs of the international grain market.

As long as there is enough grain, the Shu family can operate easily in the international grain futures market.

However, the current rural policies in the mainland are contrary to the original intention of the Shu family to build granaries and store grain.

"this..."

After hearing Lu Ye's first concern, Chen Qiang also showed a look of difficulty on his face.

He didn't expect that Lu Ye would give him a big problem right from the start, and it was a problem that he couldn't solve in a short time.

"This..." Chen Qiang wanted to speak several times, but he really couldn't think of a suitable response.

He is representing the local government at the moment, and he cannot speak carelessly on issues that he is not sure about.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qiang finally came up with an idea and said to his subordinate, "Mr. Lu's question is very good. Please write it down and we will take it back and study it carefully with the relevant departments."

"Yes, Director."

The subordinate was smart enough. He immediately took out a pen and a notebook and actually started recording it.

Shu Wen looked at Lu Ye, her eyes full of approval.

As soon as Lu Ye came on stage, he gave the negotiation office a warning and left them with no fault to find. However, this gave the Shu family the upper hand.

Don't underestimate this little advantage. It will play a huge role later when Shu and the negotiation office have in-depth negotiations.

As for the problem itself, Shu Wen was not worried, because Lu Ye had mentioned this problem to her as early as when he was in Guangzhou, and had thought of a good solution.

"Director Chen, I'd like to offer you a toast. We at Shu's have just arrived in Binjiang and lack a good understanding of the city. We need Director Chen's help in many areas."

Shu Wen raised her glass at the right moment, easing the awkward atmosphere.

"There...there, this is what we should do." Chen Qiang raised his glass in response.

"please..."

"please..."

After finishing a glass of wine, Chen Qiang quickly asked everyone to continue eating.

I don’t know whether he deliberately didn’t mention it again, or he really forgot what he just said.

In short, Chen Qiang never mentioned it to Lu Ye again and continued to let Lu Ye express his concerns.

After all, today is a welcoming banquet, not a formal negotiation meeting.

The effect Lu Ye wanted had been achieved, and since Director Chen didn't ask again, he didn't say anything on his own initiative.

Although Shu's company is the investor in this project, it still needs to cooperate with local units. If Lu Ye wants to get involved, it is not enough to just have Shu's approval. He must let the people in the negotiation office know his power.

Otherwise, when the discussion of interests comes later, the negotiation office and the Agricultural Science Institute may dislike him and deny his value.

By that time, it would probably be too late for him to exert any strength.

That's why Lu Ye threw such a difficult problem to Chen Qiang at this moment, in order to gain a foothold for himself in the subsequent negotiations and ensure that he would not be kicked out.

After the awkward moment, neither party mentioned the project again during the rest of the dinner.

They all tacitly regarded this first question as the starting point of the negotiation.

The dinner is over.

Lu Ye and Shu Wen left the Western restaurant after being seen off by Director Chen.

In the corridor, Shu Wen's face flushed after drinking.

An invitation was sent to Lu Ye:

"Don't leave in such a hurry. Come to my room and sit for a while. I have something else I want to tell you."

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

The elevator door opened, and Lu Ye and Shu Wen walked in first.

It was not until all the project team members had left that the people in the negotiation office started talking loudly.

"Director, when Shu contacted us before, they didn't mention that there was such a partner."

"I don't think Mr. Lu is someone who will give in easily. He dropped this bombshell right from the start, clearly trying to make things difficult for us."

When Chen Qiang heard these words, he shook his head.

"Don't talk nonsense. Although the question he raised is beyond our scope of preparation, it is a real problem we face. It can't be said that he is deliberately making things difficult for us."

"When I get back, I'll contact the Agriculture Bureau and the Food Bureau to see what the policy says about this. I have to find a suitable solution."

Chen Qiang knew very well that if the problem of grain delivery could not be solved, there would be no way to talk about Shu's investment.

The people from the negotiation office left the restaurant.

Chen Qiang walked among the crowd and sighed inwardly.

It is said that reform is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, but the negotiation team is crossing the river barefoot, without even touching a stone.

Pure can be summed up in one word: 'wade'.

After getting out of the elevator, Shu Wen said to Mary and the others, "You all go back and rest."

"Good boss."

Mary and others dispersed and left.

Only Lu Ye and Shu Wen walked towards her room.

Return to the room.

The first thing Shu Wen did was to swing her slender and straight legs, and the high heels on her feet flew off.

Shu Wen stepped directly on the carpet with her jade feet in black stockings. She walked to the sofa as if no one was around, and then threw herself on the sofa.

There was a fluttering sound.

The burgundy long skirt was lifted up by this rough action, revealing the beautiful legs that were originally hidden underneath.

Lu Ye couldn't help swallowing when he saw Shu Wen being so casual.

It’s nothing, it’s just that the pair of long legs in black stockings are too tempting.

"Miss, can you please pay attention to your image? If you do this, it will easily cause misunderstandings."

"You're not so feudal, are you? There's nothing to misunderstand." Shu Wen didn't care.

"I'm talking about someone else, Miss. I'm a man after all, and I've been drinking. Please respect me, okay? You're dangling your legs in front of me, be careful or I'll get a nosebleed."

Lu Ye walked to the chair behind the desk, sat down, and spoke to Shu Wen across the table.

Shu Wen smiled, sat up, and straightened her skirt.

"Sorry, I just forgot you were a man."
