Chapter 4 Teacher
Weng Lixin frowned slightly, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, then said in a calm tone:
"What? Did Chen Yunpeng come to see you?"
Guo Yang thought about it and nodded.
"President Wang also talked to me recently, and he expressed his intention to give this quota to Chen Yunpeng, but I did not agree."
"Don't worry too much. Although Chen Yunpeng meets all the requirements, he still can't catch up with you in terms of grades."
"As long as we persist, the public scholarship quota for studying abroad at the University of California, Davis will still be yours."
Hearing this, Guo Yang fell silent.
He was just an ordinary undergraduate student in his previous life. How could he have the talent to do scientific research?
And now that we have seed stores, doing business is the right thing to do.
He saw hope in the eyes of the simple professor in front of him, but this body had been replaced by a soul.
"Sorry, teacher."
"Chen Yunpeng was only part of the reason, but the main reason was that I decided to give up studying abroad."
Weng Lixin said solemnly, "The Grass Science Department of the University of California, Davis is always ranked in the top two in the world. Now you can study here at public expense. Do you know how rare this opportunity is? You don't have to worry about the relationship behind Chen Yunpeng. They can't easily interfere in this matter."
Guo Yang did not sit down and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I have already thought about it."
Weng Lixin slammed the table and asked angrily, "Have you thought about it? What have you thought about? At this point in time, you suddenly tell me that you are not going abroad for further studies! So what are you going to do?"
Guo Yang wanted to walk away, but thinking that the old man was concerned about his students, he said, "Teacher, I am going to start a farm and grow alfalfa."
Hearing this, Weng Lixin looked at Guo Yang in surprise: "Do you know what you are talking about? Are there any such conditions in the country at present? Do you have the ability to do so?"
Guo Yang calmed down and said in a gentle but firm tone: "That's why I want to do this even more."
“In other parts of the world, alfalfa has become one of the most widely cultivated forage grasses, but in my country, it has never been cultivated on a large scale.
"my country's dairy cows have always been fed insufficient protein and nutrition, resulting in insufficient milk production and insufficient protein and cellulose content in milk, which poses a great risk to the quality of milk sources."
Weng Lixin kept shaking his head and said:
"I understand the logic, but the income from growing forage grass is too low. I can't stick with it without government subsidies."
"And where do you get the money to build the pasture?"
"Did Chen Yunpeng promise to give you money?"
Weng Lixin stared at Guo Yang with burning eyes.
"I met him today. He might have this plan. I haven't decided whether to accept the money or not."
After listening to Guo Yang, Weng Lixin's expression relaxed a lot and he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I know your family is in a difficult situation, but I still suggest you go back and think about it for a few days."
"Study abroad for a few years to learn some advanced concepts and gain experience. By then, the country's policies may have changed."
Guo Yang shook his head.
He knew that the country began to pay attention to milk sources only after the "melamine" incident in 2008, and that the country began to pay attention to the alfalfa industry only after the Central Government's No. 2012 Document in proposed "launching the action to revitalize the dairy industry and alfalfa development."
It takes too long and I can’t wait any longer.
He chose to believe that the high-quality alfalfa seeds given away by the store could be promoted even without subsidies.
Moreover, he did not expect to make money from the grass for the time being. What he needed was to accumulate natural energy through alfalfa.
Forage is just the first step, seed industry is the ultimate goal.
"Teacher, if I want to study abroad, I will..."
Before Guo Yang could finish speaking, Weng Lixin interrupted him rudely.
"I gave you a chance, but you're still taking advantage of it, right? Get out of here. I don't want to see you these days."
Guo Yang turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as Guo Yang was about to open the door, he heard another sigh behind him.
"Ugh……"
"Chen Yunpeng has an uncle who is a member of the municipal party committee. His father is also in the system, but his mother runs a chain of home appliance stores. His family is rich."
Walking on the campus of the Agricultural University and looking at the lush green campus, Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
He could feel the teacher's disappointment.
It is inevitable that it is hard to accept that the best students chose money and gave up the opportunity to further their studies.
But Guo Yang must make this matter clear in advance. If he acts first and reports later, it may cause more trouble in the future.
As a breeding and planting expert in the forage field, Weng Lixin is a member of the National Grass Variety Approval Committee and has accumulated extremely deep connections and energy in this field.
If he wants to develop in the forage industry in the future, he will have to rely on the help of his teacher.
It’s just that the teacher is very angry right now and it will take some time for him to digest it.
"Now we just have to wait for Chen Yunpeng to take the bait." "But the teacher's last words are very meaningful!"
……
When he returned to the dormitory, he was still the only one in the four-person room.
My roommates have all started their internships, and I was originally preparing to apply for a place to study abroad.
But now Guo Yang is ready to give up and has some free time.
Looking at the posters of the Chinese national football team hanging on the wall, Guo Yang found some newspapers and periodicals in the dormitory, sat down at the table with a pen and paper, and studied the World Cup schedule one by one.
The opening match is France vs Senegal on May 5st.
Guo Yang clearly remembers that the defending champion France lost unexpectedly 0:1.
Because his father was a fan of Zidane in his previous life, Zidane was unable to participate in this World Cup due to injury, and the French team was directly eliminated in the group stage.
"It's worth betting heavily on this match." Guo Yang murmured and began to write and draw on the paper.
Then I looked at France's other group stage opponents: Denmark and Uruguay.
I have no impression! I just remember that Senegal advanced.
Then we looked at Group B: Paraguay, South Africa, Spain, Slovenia. Spain won all three group matches!
But he couldn't remember the exact score. When Guo Yang was writing it, he just felt his heart bleeding, as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions.
Group C: Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Türkiye.
Coach, I am familiar with this question!
0:2;4:0;3:0,国足0胜3负,进0球,丢9球。
Perfectly avoided the goals set before the game.
If Germany had not slaughtered Saudi Arabia 8:0, the Chinese national football team would have ranked last in this World Cup.
"Buy football lottery in reverse order, and the villa will be by the sea." Guo Yang muttered a classic jingle that later generations would come to know.
Then I wrote down other memorable matches in Group C: Brazil 2:1 Turkey, Costa Rica 2:5 Brazil.
Group D, South Korea 1:0 Portugal! Portugal was eliminated
In Group E, Germany defeated Saudi Arabia 8:0!
Group F, finished! Can't remember a single game.
Group G is also doomed!
Group H is screwed!
After recalling the group stage, Guo Yang found that there were 8 matches whose scores he could remember, of which Group C, where the Chinese national team was located, contributed 6!
It's so true, maybe this is the depth of hatred and love.
If the Chinese national football team had not continued to decline steadily over the next 20 years, it would not have attracted so much ridicule on the Internet in the future.
Guo Yang continued to study the knockout rounds.
South Korea 1:1 Italy.
Türkiye beat Japan.
Brazil 2:1 England.
South Korea drew 0:0 with Spain and then advanced through penalties.
……
Germany beat South Korea.
Brazil 1:0 Türkiye.
Germany 0:2 Brazil.
After finishing writing down all the game schedules, Guo Yang was in a good mood.
Can remember the exact scores of 12 games, in addition to the results of several other games.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should get it.
With more funds, he can not only contract more saline-alkali land, but also have the spare energy to do more things.
Only then can the true role of seed stores be truly brought into play.
Likewise, this money can be used to stir up trouble in the futures market, especially since the "soybean crisis" is currently brewing.
In addition, you can also invest in some well-known stocks, such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, NetEase, etc.
The Internet bubble crisis just passed, and the world lost trillions of dollars. The entire industry is still in a downturn.
Guo Yang is not a money-grubber, but at this time the more money he has, the more secure he will be.
Investing in agriculture is a money-spending business with high risks, low returns and a long payback period.
Hundreds of millions of dollars invested may not even create a single wave.
