Fu Xianghui asked Cao Shujie: "Old Cao, how much money are you going to invest in this laboratory?"
According to what Cao Shujie just described, the future prospects of the 'nutrient solution' they developed should be very good.
According to Fu Xianghui's understanding, there are actually similar products on the market, and there are more than one, but the effects of those products are much worse than what Cao Shujie just described.
Fu Xianghui even now can't wait to go to the orchard on the mountain to see what the effects of Cao Shujie's strawberries and the fruit trees he planted will be after adding nutrient solution.
After understanding this relationship, Fu Xianghui touched another strawberry to look at it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. He suddenly understood why the strawberry had a different texture.
"Are these strawberries your test subjects too?" Fu Xianghui asked.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Old Fu, have you ever thought about a question?"
"Our research is still closely related to various plants, but if you only focus on the laboratory or paper formula design, and stay in various PPT reports, there may be no problem with the theoretical data.
But there are still big loopholes in its actual application.”
Fu Xianghui listened carefully, and then he heard Cao Shujie say: "I didn't consider this at first, but after I came back from the capital, my parents gave me their orchard, and that's when I discovered that the batch they planted
There is a problem with the fruit trees, there is a huge problem of malnutrition."
"Later, I took out a loan to expand the size of this orchard. After slowly growing and exploring, I understood this truth and formulated this product."
"In the final analysis, the 'nutrient solution' I studied still serves various plants. If you don't have personal experience, no matter how beautiful the various data are, it will be useless."
At the end, Cao Shujie looked at Fu Xianghui and added: "Of course, these are my family's words and cannot be put on the stage."
"How can this not be on the stage?" Fu Xianghui firmly disagreed.
He felt that Cao Shujie's fantastic idea was simply great. As Cao Shujie said, if he didn't practice it himself, he really wouldn't be able to make this product.
Fu Xianghui looked at Cao Shujie and sighed inexplicably: "Old Cao, you are really different now from the past."
Cao Shujie laughed and asked him: "Old Fu, tell me, what's different about me?"
Fu Xianghui hesitated for a while and then said: "How should I put it? Now you seem more stable, your ideas are more practical, and you are more mature in thinking about problems. Unlike some people in our research institute who are so ambitious that they wish they could fly to the sky."
Fu Xianghui thought about himself again. He had been engaged in various theoretical research in the laboratory and then demonstrated his ideas. He had never thought of finding a place to practice like Cao Shujie.
It wasn't until he heard Cao Shujie's words that he suddenly realized how big the gap between himself and Cao Shujie was.
This also forced him to rethink the issue.
He wanted to come to Cao Shujie and participate in the project Cao Shujie mentioned.
Because Fu Xianghui realized that if he returned to the Agricultural Science Research Institute in the capital, he would not be able to have as many conveniences as Cao Shujie, giving him a piece of land to mess around with and conduct various experimental fields in the field.
"Stay or go back?" Fu Xianghui has been thinking about this question in his mind.
For him, this is really a difficult choice.
From the perspective of his family, he will definitely want to return to the capital, but from the perspective of personal development, it will obviously be better for him to stay with Cao Shujie.
Fu Xianghui's eyes were filled with confusion, but he didn't show it on his face.
Continue to eat, drink and chat with Cao Shujie.
Fu Xianghui also told Cao Shujie what happened to the Institute of Agricultural Sciences after he left.
In fact, Fu Xianghui didn't need to tell, Cao Shujie could also guess a few things. Vanity fairs are everywhere, and the institute is no exception.
There is no direct conflict of interest between different research topics, but there is also the problem of grabbing credit for the same topic.
Moreover, the project funds within a period are limited. With your funds, there will be no other funds. Who doesn’t want to fight for it?
Some people also want to be the first signed author on published papers, etc. There are many such things.
Fu Xianghui is also very tired. Everywhere he is, there are sophistication and infighting, unless he leaves that vanity fair.
Thinking of all the bad things and that his wife couldn't understand him, Fu Xianghui felt tired and inevitably drank too much at night.
…
On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie and Fu Xianghui drank a bowl of beef soup and two beef cakes together at the farm restaurant, and then went up the mountain to see the growth of strawberry and kiwi fruit trees.
When he actually saw the strawberry plants and kiwi fruit trees, seeing the gratifying growth of the plants and kiwi fruit tree vines, Fu Xianghui realized that the nutrient solution studied by Cao Shujie was so effective.
"Did you do this yourself?" Fu Xianghui still found it incredible.
Cao Shujie told him the general principle. Without Cao Shujie's explanation, it felt like there was a wall between him and it was difficult to understand what was going on.
But after talking about it, everything became very simple, and Fu Xianghui could understand the reason.
This is something that Cao Shujie spent more than ten years in the research institute to understand in his previous life. When he resigned from the research institute in this life, he had not yet started to research the nutrient solution. Therefore, Fu Xianghui did not doubt that Cao Shujie was working in the research institute.
He started to get involved in this area and used it for personal gain. Naturally, there was no question of the ownership of the property rights of the nutrient solution.
Now Cao Shujie has set up his own laboratory, purchased various experimental equipment, and invested heavily. It is obvious that he is going to do something big, and Fu Xianghui really wants to work with him.
When he came down from the orchard, Cao Shujie drove him to Xuemeng Food Factory No. 2.
Here, Cao Shujie introduced him to the three major components of the factory.
Aimeng preserved fruit production line, fruit wine and juice production line, as well as a laboratory under construction.
Especially when visiting the northernmost laboratory, Cao Shujie specially explained the purpose of this building to Fu Xianghui.
"It will be completed soon. Once it is completed, we will hurry up and decorate it. It can be completed this year and put into use next year." Cao Shujie said.
This time is not too late, and they can conduct experiments in other places in the early stage, which is not a big problem.
Fu Xianghui naturally knew this. He nodded and didn't say much.
He was weighing in his mind whether to go or stay.
After coming out of the laboratory under construction, Cao Shujie said seriously this time: "Old Fu, I believe you should understand that this is a very promising product. I personally also hope that you can stay and help me with income.
I can help you with everything from your house to your son's schooling."
"But if I really can't leave, I won't force it."
"Give me a week and I'll think about it again when I go back," Fu Xianghui said.
Cao Shujie laughed and nodded. It was only a week, he could still afford to wait.
But if Fu Xianghui hangs on him for a few more months, Cao Shujie will definitely not wait.
There are many talents in this world.
To put it shamelessly, he counts as one, Fu Xianghui counts as one, and there are other talents.
But from Cao Shujie's personal perspective, there are not many people he can trust, but Fu Xianghui is definitely one of them.
…
Fu Xianghui took two days off when he came here this time. He also told his wife that he would work two nights at the research institute and his time was very tight.
After Cao Shujie had dinner with him at noon, he took him to Yiling City Railway Station and watched him get on the train and leave.
On the other side, Tong Jiayi also came over, and Cao Shujie made a special trip to meet him.
Tong Jiayi's attitude was very determined. He had already decided to follow Cao Shujie without saying a word.
This made Cao Shujie feel very pleased.
Since he handed over the list to Wang Zhifeng, it means that Tong Jiayi is also capable.
Moreover, Tong Jiayi is also one of the people that Cao Shujie thinks is very likely to be brought over.
As expected, he was not disappointed.
It's just that the laboratory hasn't been completed yet, all the equipment he purchased hasn't arrived yet, and the research isn't in a hurry.
Cao Shujie asked Tong Jiayi to get familiar with the situation here first.
Tong Jiayi is single and doesn't care about the environment at all. He seems to be a bit of a workaholic and wants to find something to do every day.
…
After returning from town, Cao Shujie thought that he had been accompanying Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi for the past two days, and that his sister had returned from the city and he was too busy to take care of them.
When he returned home, he saw his sister playing with his son Cao Yirui in the yard. The little guy was not afraid of his aunt, and kept moving closer to her, and even let her carry him around.
On such a hot day, it was difficult for his sister to be so patient.
"Brother, are you done?" Cao Huifang saw her brother coming in and asked specifically.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I just finished my work. How about you? How many days are you going to stay at home?"
"I don't have anything to do recently, so I'll stay for two more days," Cao Huifang said.
Cao Shujie was puzzled and asked her: "Where is your classmate? She is in the city by herself?"
"No, she bought a Magotan for her father, and also went home to deliver the car to her father. I guess she has to show off her temperament at home for a few more days after she finally showed it off."
Cao Huifang said.
She thought it was quite interesting that after eating at the Xinjiang Hotel that afternoon, she and her good sister Deng Miaoshan came out of the Five-Star Department Store and then went to the 4S store in the south to buy a car.
After much selection and considering all aspects, her good sister finally bought a Magotan, the leading model of the 2017 330TI that was just launched last year.
The discount was less than 200,000 yuan, and she had enough money in hand to take delivery of the car in full.
Deng Miaoshan also sent her WeChat messages in the past two days, saying that her father saw the new car she drove back and was confused when she learned that it was given to him.
Then he cried happily.
Deng Miaoshan told Cao Huifang that she also cried!
After living for more than 20 years, it feels like for the first time that I have done something useful for this family.
As for anything else, Deng Miaoshan didn't say anything, but she specifically told Cao Huifang that she would stay at home for a while.
Originally, Deng Miaoshan's parents had strong objections to her quitting her job within the government and running to the south like a crazy girl, but later they were afraid of irritating her further and did not mention it again.
But this time, when they saw their daughter buying a new Magotan car in full without using a penny of family subsidies, the old couple no longer felt any grudge against their daughter for losing her job in the system.
They think this shows that their daughter is indeed capable and can make money. In the future, she can take care of herself even without the couple's connections, and they feel relieved.
Let her do whatever she wants.
According to Deng Miaoshan's father's idea, his daughter's offer to buy a new car was accepted, but they didn't want the new car, so they let Deng Miaoshan drive it by herself, so that it would be more convenient to do some business in the future.
But Deng Miaoshan was also stubborn and told her father clearly that the new car was bought for him. She also said that she would make more money to buy a decent gift for her mother.
Cao Shujie found it quite interesting when he heard his sister talk about how her classmate Deng Miaoshan bought a car for her father.
"Fangfang, that classmate of yours is quite good. You two have made a lot of money during this period." he asked.
Cao Huifang curled her lips: "Brother, compared to the money you make, the two of us are nothing."
"How can you think like that?" Cao Shujie felt that there was something wrong with his sister's idea and said to her: "If you want to put it this way, there is a big gap between me and Lei Jun, and I am far behind Xiao Ma."
"Even Zhang Yiming from Toutiao, I can't compare to him."
Hearing the people his brother mentioned, Cao Huifang had only met Lei Jun, and the other two had only heard their names and had never met them in person.
"Brother, you will definitely be able to do it in the future." Cao Huifang said.
Cao Shujie chuckled: "You are more confident than me."
"That's it, who is my brother? Cao Shujie, the party secretary and village director of Caojiazhuang Village, Qingshi Town, Pingyuan County, Yiling City! Isn't he awesome! Haha!" Cao Huifang laughed while hugging her nephew Cao Yirui.
When talking about her brother, her tone was full of pride and pride.
The little guy didn't understand why and laughed along with his aunt.
Cao Shujie also puffed out his chest and felt inexplicably two centimeters taller.
In the afternoon, Cao Shujie thought about picking up his daughter from school. Who knew that his sister took the initiative to take up the task, ran out before him, and drove to the town.
Cao Shujie ignored her. When his wife came back, Cao Shujie told her what happened in the past two days.
Cheng Xiaolin also asked him about Tong Jiayi and Fu Xianghui. She also knew that her husband valued this laboratory very much, so she asked him how it was this time.
How sure are you?
"It's not a big problem. If it doesn't work out, I'll go into battle myself!" Cao Shujie was gearing up and really wanted to do something big.
Cheng Xiaolin never thought that her husband would say this.
But the more this happens, the more it can be seen that her husband attaches great importance to this matter.
"Isn't Manager Wang out? Is there any news from him?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie shook his head. There was still some news in the capital, but things were not going well in the Magic City. The three people he told Wang Zhifeng were all as stubborn as stones, and none of them were easy to talk to.
Wang Zhifeng also called him to report the situation, but Cao Shujie asked him to come back first.
"Manager Wang is on his way back now, and I am thinking about cooperating with universities in the next step." Cao Shujie told his wife. (End of chapter)
