After leaving Lu Ye's office, Su Yunjie went straight to Li Mingzhu and discussed with her about recruiting new people for the retail department.

As it was approaching noon, Shu Wen called the sales station again.

"The negotiation office has contacted the Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute. We plan to visit there this afternoon as a field investigation. I'm afraid I can't handle it by myself, so you should come along." Shu Wen invited Lu Ye.

The proposal for a joint venture with the Institute of Agricultural Sciences was made by Lu Ye, and he had already told Shu Wen about the advantages of such an operation.

Therefore, Shu Wen also attaches great importance to the inspection of the Agricultural Science Institute.

However, Lu Ye doesn't know much about the field of agricultural research.

"What time do you leave? Where?"

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, the negotiation office will arrange a car to pick you up. If you are free now, just come over and have lunch with me first, and then we will leave together." Shu Wen said.

"Alright, I'll be there in a minute."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye made some simple preparations and then left the sales station and went directly to the Madiel Hotel.

At this time, in the Madiel Hotel, Shu Wen had already dressed and was having a small meeting with the project team.

"Our largest partner in this investment in Binjiang is the Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute, so this afternoon's inspection is very important to us."

"Mary, you will be leading the team. You must learn as much as possible about their situation, especially their scientific research capabilities. You must make an accurate assessment, as this will be crucial for our later negotiations."

Shu's investment in the mainland this time was greatly influenced by mainland policies.

Joint venture with local governments is currently the only investment channel.

"Yes, boss." Mary nodded heavily after hearing that.

Lu Ye walked all the way to Shu Wen's room.

Knocked on the door.

A member of the project team walked quickly to the door and opened it.

"Boss, it's Mr. Lu who has arrived."

Seeing Lu Ye coming, Shu Wen waved to the project team: "Everyone go and get ready."

"Yes."

Watching everyone filing out, Lu Ye sighed in his heart that the quality of their employees was really quite high.

"You came pretty quickly."

"It's such a big deal, I have to hurry up."

"How is it going? Has the person in charge of the negotiation office responded?" Lu Ye asked.

Yesterday he posed a difficult problem to the people in the negotiation office. Given the nature of government agencies, Lu Ye didn't think they would be able to come up with a solution so quickly.

Sure enough, the next second, Shu Wen's answer confirmed his point of view.

"Not yet. They said they still need to discuss it internally. But they helped us contact the Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute. We made a call in the morning and were able to go for an inspection in the afternoon. That's pretty efficient."

She originally thought it would take a few days before she could get in touch with the Agricultural Science Institute and negotiate such an efficient process, which was beyond Shu Wen's expectations.

"Speed ​​is a good thing, it means the other party is also anxious." Lu Ye said with a smile.

Shu Wen smiled and stopped talking about business. She changed the subject and said, "I heard that borscht is a very special Russian dish. Let's eat first."

"it is good."

The two came to the restaurant.

Without the hustle and bustle of yesterday, Lu Ye and Shu Wen were eating just to fill their stomachs.

It’s a lot more relaxing and comfortable.

A minibus slowly stopped outside the hotel.

After getting out of the car, Chen Qiang walked straight into the hotel.

In one morning, Chen Qiang communicated with the Agriculture Bureau and the Grain Bureau many times, but there was no progress at all. Helpless, Chen Qiang had to go to his superiors to communicate, but the result was the same. He only got a reply to study it further.

After running around for nothing for the whole morning, Chen Qiang had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and went to the hotel, ready to take this group of Hong Kong businessmen to the Agricultural Science Institute for inspection.

soon.

The project team, who had been waiting for a long time, boarded the minibus.

Lu Ye and Shu Wen sat side by side, looking at the scenery outside the car from time to time.

Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute is a public institution affiliated to the Agricultural Bureau, dedicated to agricultural science research and the integration of production, learning, research and education.

There are 96 scientific and technological personnel, including 10 senior professors, 28 associate senior professors, and 4 experts who enjoy special allowances.

This scientific research strength is definitely among the best in the country.

Unfortunately, over the years, due to the lack of high-tech scientific research equipment and the technological blockade of developed countries, the development of China's agricultural technology has been in a relatively slow process.

The backward agricultural system and backward planting concepts have seriously restricted the popularization of scientific planting.

As a research unit, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences also has many difficult problems to solve.

The most prominent problem is the serious shortage of research funds.

As a scientific research institution, the research funding that Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute can obtain each year is less than 5 yuan.

Even so, it is often intercepted by the Agricultural Bureau, and in the end, only a few thousand yuan is left in one's hands.

Agricultural, aquatic, and animal husbandry researchers often argue over funding issues.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's because their agricultural science institute is poor.

But at this time, the negotiation office responsible for introducing foreign investment actually found their agricultural science institute and bluntly said that a large Hong Kong businessman wanted to cooperate with their agricultural science institute.

This made Zhou Wanjie, the director of the Agricultural Science Institute, very happy, and he immediately expressed his willingness to fully cooperate.

When Zhou Wanjie heard that the other party was coming to inspect, he immediately agreed excitedly. He was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so he set the time in the afternoon.

Anyway, for Zhou Wanjie, the sooner they meet, the better.

At the gate of Binjiang Agricultural Science Institute.

Zhou Wanjie, wearing a faded yellow shirt, led several leaders of the institute and waited anxiously under the scorching sun.

"Director Zhou, is this reliable? We're a research institute, not an agricultural enterprise. Why would that Hong Kong businessman want to cooperate with us?"

A researcher wearing glasses said with concern.

"Director Chen from the negotiation office said that the other party specifically requested to cooperate with us. I don't know the specific situation yet, but we'll know after we meet them."

"But I do hope this is true. Hong Kong businessmen are wealthy, and what we lack most right now is money."

"By the way, when we meet tonight, please don't act like that scoundrel. If anyone messes this up, I won't have any money for research funding next time you ask me."

Zhou Wanjie said it very bluntly.

Some of the old scholars in their institute had strange tempers, and Zhou Wanjie was really worried, so he gave them a special reminder.

"A car is coming." someone shouted.

The minibus was shaking as it drove on the bumpy dirt road, almost shaking out the lunch Lu Ye had just eaten.

"Ms. Shu, Mr. Lu, we're here." The car stopped and Chen Qiang stood up and said.
