Chapter 25 Questions
The next day, Ministry of Agriculture, outside the meeting room.

Guo Yang wore a black suit, a white shirt and a tie around his neck. Although he was still thin, he looked simple and capable.

And after a night's rest, I felt much better.

This made Chen Yue, who came out of the conference room, look at him twice more, and then she noticed that he was the only one in the corridor.

"Guo Yang, Mr. Guo?" Chen Yue asked uncertainly.

"Yes." Guo Yang looked at the girl with short hair and felt that she was a little familiar.

Chen Yue couldn't help feeling surprised.

It was hard for her to imagine that the young man in front of her, who looked ordinary and even a little eccentric, could be a billionaire with a net worth of over 10 billion.

Before this, she had always thought that Guo Yang would be a mature and stable middle-aged man.

What was even more incredible to her was that this man, who was about the same age as her, planned to contract and improve 20 acres of saline-alkali land.

Minister Lin even had to personally preside over the agenda for him.

After calming down, Chen Yue smiled and said to him, "Mr. Guo, the last topic is coming soon. Please prepare yourself."

Afterwards, Chen Yue returned to the meeting room.

In the end, Guo Yang calmed down and waited quietly in the corridor.

After a while, a group of people who had just finished the meeting walked out of the conference room and left. Guo Yang also walked in at this time.

Perhaps because an agenda had just been completed, the atmosphere in the conference room was not as solemn as Guo Yang had imagined.

From time to time, laughter could be heard.

Guo Yang sat down under the guidance of the staff, and then the staff distributed a piece of information to each participant.

Guo Yang took a look and said, well, it was written by him last night.

Opposite Guo Yang, a man with gold-rimmed glasses and gray hair had been looking at him since he entered the door.

Guo Yang nodded slightly, and at the same time noticed the nameplate on his desk: Lin Xu.

I guess this must be Minister Lin. He looks like an ordinary person.

While everyone was taking a break and chatting, Guo Yang also looked around the meeting room.

There were about 10 people in the meeting room.

The Department of Industrial Policy and Regulations is mainly responsible for researching and formulating agricultural policies and regulations.

The Crop Production Management Bureau, the crop production industry is under his jurisdiction.

Department of Animal Husbandry...

Agricultural Mechanization Management Department...

The Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences focuses on solving major scientific and technological problems such as grassland ecological environment problems and improving grassland productivity. The person who came was Su Guozhou, whom Guo Yang had some impression of.

And that girl with short hair, it seems she is taking notes at the meeting.

At this time, Minister Lin patted the table lightly and said, "Okay, let's start the last topic of today."

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

"It's not really a topic of discussion. It's mainly about taking this opportunity for everyone to have a discussion and to help our young and promising CEO Guo Yang."

Everyone's eyes followed Minister Lin's gaze and stayed on Guo Yang. They had already seen the last item on the meeting notice.

Everyone was confused. When did a saline-alkali land improvement project come out? I didn't see any project establishment information. It was only then that I knew it was an enterprise investment project.

"Mr. Guo plans to contract 20 mu of saline-alkali land in Gansu Province for improvement. He plans to plant alfalfa and build a forage industry park. The first phase investment is 5 million yuan, and the total investment is about 10 billion yuan."

20 acres? 10 billion? Just this young man?

Except for Minister Lin and Director Zhang of the Mechanization Department who knew the specific situation, everyone else looked surprised.

They were very skeptical whether this was true, but when they saw Minister Lin's confident look, they calmed down.

Minister Lin wouldn't be fooled, would he?

"Everyone can take a look at the information in your hands first. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone couldn't wait to read through it, only the person from the Finance Department frowned and asked in confusion:

"Minister Lin, this kind of investment project should be under the jurisdiction of the provincial and municipal governments, right? Or does the ministry also plan to participate? The ministry's budget this year..."

"The ministry will not participate in this project." Minister Lin simply replied, interrupting the Finance Secretary's speech. Then he asked the person from the Industrial Policy and Regulation Department sitting at the conference table:
“Are there any policies and funds for improving saline-alkali land now?”

"Currently, there is only funding support for research projects in scientific research institutes, but not for enterprises."

Minister Lin looked at Guo Yang, smiled, and turned back to say: "You will have to strengthen your research on relevant policies later."

Guo Yang remained silent. He suspected that Minister Lin was deliberately performing this for him.

I just want to say that the department has no money, so you have to rely on yourself for everything!
At this time, many people have quickly browsed through the information in their hands.

Minister Lin picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said, "After reading it, if you have any ideas, please bring them up and we can discuss them together."

"I have a question for Mr. Guo." The voice sounded quite unfriendly.

Guo Yang looked over when he heard the voice and saw that it was Su Guozhou from the Grassland Research Institute, an expert in the field of forage!

Su Guozhou has dark skin, obvious wrinkles on his face, and long bangs, but his hair is obviously a little sparse.

You can tell at first glance that he often goes to the fields.

But at this moment, Su Guozhou's face was filled with obvious anger.

Guo Yang had anticipated this scene last night. His description of super alfalfa must have stimulated this expert who was also studying alfalfa breeding.

But he still smiled and said, "Director Su, what are your questions?"

Su Guozhou nodded, his expression eased a little, and said:
"It is undeniable that Mr. Guo's project is of great significance to our country. It is also good for the management of saline-alkali land and the promotion of the development of the forage field."

"But I have deep doubts about the super alfalfa seeds you mentioned in your project introduction materials, Mr. Guo. Are its variety characteristics really as good as you said?"

"You have to know that alfalfa breeding is a long process. From parent selection, planting and hybridization, to screening and identification, and then to planting the screened seeds, it takes three years to complete one cycle. And it takes at least 3-1 cycles to breed a new variety."

"Year after year, the scientific research team guards the alfalfa in the saline-alkali land, and in addition to enduring the boredom of scientific research, they also have to endure the hard work of farmers."

"Our institute has been engaged in alfalfa breeding for decades at the alfalfa breeding base in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. I have also been conducting research here for more than 30 years, but it is only in recent years that we have achieved phased results."

"In 1997, we successfully bred the first salt- and alkali-tolerant alfalfa variety."

"We are currently conducting research on the problem of high groundwater levels in coastal saline-alkali land, and we expect to produce new results next year."

"But now you tell me that you have bred a super alfalfa variety that is extremely tolerant to salt and alkali, and has excellent other resistances as well."

"How old are you? Tell me how you bred this alfalfa variety?"

Su Guozhou stared at Guo Yang.

He believed that there were geniuses in the world, but he didn't believe that there were such unreasonable things!
