There is no news from Professor Ling Yinong, but the bidding results for the infrastructure project in Minning Village have already come out.
Wang Zhong's construction company has sound qualifications and a good reputation locally, especially among government agencies. The government is also willing to give opportunities to Yongquan Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., whose employees basically include immigrants and local aborigines.
The construction of Minning Village is not a one-time deal. Min Province invests 15 million in Yuquanying every year to build roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure and corresponding supporting facilities.
Of course, this money, let alone Yuquan Camp, is not small even if it is placed in the entire Ningxia region, but to Wang Zhong, it is really nothing.
In the human world, Wang Zhong and He Damao's Shengshi Group already had hundreds of millions in assets as early as 1990. In the youth world, around this time, Wang Zhong and He Xiaoping had already earned enough money. , have already planned to retire and leave everything to their children.
"Debao, you need to pay more attention to the construction company. Wang Xiaoxing is capable, but it is limited. He is good at leading people, and he has enough prestige among the workers, but he is only among the workers when it comes to projects. Prestige is not enough. Design, construction, materials and safety issues must all be checked. No problems can occur at all. All must be strictly in accordance with the standards. You have to keep an eye on me."
The headquarters of the construction company is at Li Laoshuan's house in Jintan Village. When Wang Xiaoxing helped Li Laoshuan build the house, Wang Zhong specially designed it. The same reinforced concrete frame structure was buried about one meter underground. , and later in order to turn it into a temporary office, Wang Zhong asked Wang Xiaoxing to lead some renovations.
In the office, Wang Zhong was sitting at the back of the desk, giving very serious instructions to Debao.
"Don't worry, brother, I will keep an eye on you!" Debao said solemnly with a firm face.
Debao has been with Wang Zhong for five or six years. When Wang Zhong was burning kilns and building houses in Yongquan Village, he was taught by Wang Zhong's words and deeds. Later, he followed Wang Zhong and worked in decoration in Haiji County for more than half a year. , after arriving at Yuquanying, he barely rested, burning kilns, helping the villagers build houses, and was forced by Wang Zhong to read books, read rules and regulations, and learn various engineering knowledge.
I'm not proficient in everything, but at least I know a little bit of everything, which should be enough to cope with the current situation.
Debao also knows the importance of the Minning Village project. If it is done well, it will be a ladder for their construction company to take off. They can take advantage of the east wind of Minning Village construction and ride on the tailwind of reform and opening up. The car goes straight up to the blue clouds.
But if something goes wrong, it will mean that Yuquanying, even Ningxia, and the entire northwest region will be cut off and their future will be completely lost.
Debao knew the pros and cons and naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
Seeing Debao being so cautious, Wang Zhong nodded, then looked at Shui Wang beside Debao, and warned: "Shui Wang, you should be responsible for me at the mixing station and transport fleet, and make arrangements in the middle, but you must not go out." If there is even the slightest mistake, after the project officially starts, you and your brothers must be ready to start the train at any time after waiting for news from Depot."
"Brother, don't worry, I'll be in charge personally and there will be no problem in keeping it." Shui Wang assured him, patting his chest.
After so many years, both Debao and Shuiwang have gradually matured. Although the eagles are young, they can still spread their wings and soar in the sky.
"If there is not enough manpower, or there are other problems with materials, adapt to circumstances. If you can't make up your mind, come to me immediately. Don't just run around like a headless fly, you know!"
Shuiwang is not as stable and reliable as Debao, so Wang Zhong gave such special instructions.
"Brother! I remember it!" Shui Wang also knew the importance of this project.
Wang Dian nodded: "In a few days, the remaining machines I ordered will arrive. When the time comes, the three of you will personally take people to receive them."
As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, his eyes were already looking at Gawa, who had pimples on his face: "Gawa, over there at the machine, you can learn from the masters and take a good look.
Don't say that you are stupid and can't learn. Diligence can make up for your weakness. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can learn anything no matter how difficult it is. The key depends on whether you are willing to put in the effort. Don't be afraid that you are slow to learn and don't have enough foundation. Just spend more time. Time, spend more energy.
After the first phase of the Minning Village project is completed, our company will set up a mechanical engineering department. Whether it can be like Debao and Shuiwang depends on you.
In my place, the capable ones are always promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. If you are really capable and have good vision, it is not impossible to entrust the entire mechanical engineering department to you in the future. "
"Brother, are you serious?" Gawa looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief.
Wang Zhong smiled, looked at Gawa, and said loudly: "There was a saying in the past that said that no matter how bold a person is, how productive the land is, there is an upper limit to the amount of food that can be grown in the land. This statement is too false and empty, but this If the words are used in other places, it is not unreasonable. Our human potential is unlimited. Compared with other people's, you at least have a primary school diploma and can read and write. As long as you work hard and are willing to pay attention, you are not afraid of not being able to compare. Fuck someone else?"
"Don't talk about others, just take a look at Debao and Shuiwang. The three of you played together with your naked butts until they got big. You know what they are like better than anyone else."
Gawa looked at Debao and Shuiwang, nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
Wang Zhong continued: "So don't be afraid to ask others for advice. No one is born knowing everything. Just like me, in order to learn skills, I didn't serve tea and water in front of the master, nodded and bowed, and was always scolded by the master. !”
"Your mother has been pointing fingers at you all your life. Haven't you always wanted to change your way of life? If you don't know how to do anything, even if you run out, what can you do outside? Either work for others or dig in wells. Coal, that's a job where you have to tie your head to your belt, and you may lose your life at any time.
You have that determination, and now we have another opportunity and such good conditions. If you learn the technology well, if you become the director of our engineering department in the future, earn money, buy a car, buy a mobile phone, and wear a suit, Wear a tie and have your subordinates by your side, just like those college students in our company, giving advice to others on the construction site, then find a beautiful wife with big breasts and a perky butt, return to the village, and let the villagers give a thumbs up and praise her , Gawa, you are not a naughty kid, you will be envied by your peers, and all the girls in the village will want to marry you. Isn’t this better than going out and wandering around? "
Gawa was very excited when she heard it. There was a smile on her face that looked forward to the future, and her cloudy eyes were shining with a strange light. She excitedly promised Wang Zhong that she would study hard.
Wang Zhong did not continue to speak. Some words, saying too much is useless. What is important is to hit the point just right. If you keep nagging, it may be counterproductive.
Appropriate guidance and guidance are enough. The one who really makes the decision is Gawa himself.
If he didn't have the motivation to be proactive and work hard for a moment, it would be useless even if Wang Zhong talked about it all.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back quickly. It's time to prepare and be busy."
Within two days, Ma Defu brought good news to Wang Zhong, saying that Chen Jinshan had made contact with Professor Ling Yinong.
The next day, Wang Zhong drove to the development zone office and drove for nearly two hours with Chen Jinshan before meeting Professor Ling and his party on a deserted Gobi desert.
Professor Ling has short, lean hair, glasses, and a medium build. His black hair is mixed with some silver threads. His face is slightly younger. He looks in his thirties. He is wearing simple single clothes and a hat on his head. A straw hat.
Chen Jinshan and Professor Ling held hands and chatted for a long time. One called him teacher, and the other said that he had never taught him before and was not counted as his teacher. The relationship was a bit complicated.
However, the relationship between the two is really good. They joke around and the smiles on their faces are sincere and sincere.
"You came all the way here to see me for anything?" Professor Ling was also a straight-tempered person and didn't like to go around. He only said a few words to Chen Jinshan before he couldn't wait to ask.
Chen Jinshan smiled and said: "Teacher, this time, I am just acting as a middleman. It is this comrade who wants to see you!"
Wang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Professor Ling, my name is Wang Zhong. I am an immigrant from Xihaigu who came to Diaozhuang in Yuquanying."
Professor Ling was a little surprised when Wang Zhong spoke fluent and standard Mandarin.
He and his team have been in Ningxia for nearly a month. The most difficult thing is communicating with the locals. Professor Ling’s Mandarin is better than Chen Jinshan’s, but there are still some problems in communicating with the locals.
Some of it is because of the language accent, but most of it is because of the words he said. Not to mention the common people, even many local cadres couldn't understand them and didn't know what they meant.
"Hello, Comrade Wang Zhong!" Ling Yinong shook hands with Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong said with some excitement: "Professor Ling's name has long been familiar to me. Professor Ling's research on Juncao became a sensation. Not only did he earn face for our countrymen, but he also severely beat up those foreign experts and professors. It has created an unprecedented path in protecting forest resources and developing bacterial culture, benefiting the country and the people, nothing more than this! Nothing more than that!"
Professor Ling thought at first that Wang Zhong was just being polite, but he didn't expect that he actually knew what he was doing, and he could also tell the advantages and benefits of Juncao, which made Professor Ling look at him differently.
"I didn't expect that my name, Ling Yinong, could be spread to Haiji!" Although Ling Yinong believed Wang Zhong's words, he still found it a bit incredible.
Seeming to see the doubts in Ling Yinong's heart, Wang Zhong said: "I also studied in my early years, but later I responded to the country's call and became a soldier. After I retired, although I returned to Haiji, I always paid attention to the information outside. I often pay attention to some newspapers and publications on science and technology and people's livelihood. Inland areas like ours are inherently slow in development and cannot compare with coastal cities. Especially in Xihaigu, we want to develop and achieve a comprehensive well-off society. , that means you cannot be out of touch with society and must keep up with the times!"
"You have pioneered the use of Juncao instead of wood to propagate fungi. Your technology is of great significance not only to our country, but also to the whole world."
After hearing this, Chen Jinshan and Ling Yinong both nodded in agreement, and Ling Yinong couldn't help but look at Wang Zhong again.
Chen Jinshan said with deep approval: "Comrade Wang Zhong is right. If inland areas like Haiji County and Ningxia want to develop, they must keep up with the pace of the times and ride the coattails of reform and opening up."
"We are providing counterpart assistance to Minning and Ningxia provinces so that the people in Ningxia and Ningxia can also reap the dividends of reform and opening up."
"Comrade Wang Zhong, I wonder why you came to me?" Ling Yinong doesn't like to talk about big principles and has a practical temperament.
Wang Zhongdao: "To tell you the truth, I heard that Professor Ling is not only leading the world in research on Juncao, but also that Professor Ling has done some research on wind prevention and sand control."
"I have done some experiments, so I have some experience!" Professor Ling was as humble as the original author, with no trace of complacency on his face.
"But this is my first time coming to Ningxia. I am not familiar with the climate and environment here, so I have to conduct repeated experiments."
Wang Chong said with a smile: "As expected of Professor Ling, few people can match his rigor. I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I contracted more than 500 acres of land from the government and want to try to cultivate the beach." Sheep, planting wolfberry.
But in recent years, as the world has become peaceful and policies have improved, the population here has also increased. In order to make a living, the common people have no choice but to cut down trees, graze wantonly, dig turf and grass roots everywhere, and have no impact on the ecology. The environment has caused serious damage. Not to mention other places, the land desertification situation in our Yuquanying and Xihaigu areas is becoming increasingly serious.
The area I contracted is the most severely desertified area in our Jintan Village. Professor Ling, when I came here this time, I originally planned to ask the professor for help. He would go to my farm for an on-site inspection and give me some suggestions on wind prevention and sand control.
But before I came, I heard from County Magistrate Chen that the professor and his team came to Haiji this time to help us prevent wind and desertification and manage the ecology. Second, they wanted to test whether Juncao can adapt to the environment in our Ningxia region. At that time, I thought, if the professor and your team are willing, why not use my more than 500 acres of land as a test field and conduct research in our Jintan Village. I can bear all the expenses. "
Ling Yinong did not agree immediately, but lowered his head and pondered.
Chen Jinshan, who was standing next to him, thought that Wang Zhong’s suggestion was very good, and it served multiple purposes, so he immediately started to help persuade: “Teacher...”
"I told you, I never taught you. You are not my student, so you don't need to call me teacher!" Professor Ling immediately retorted.
"Teacher!"
Chen Jinshan still went his own way and shouted: "I think Comrade Wang Zhong's suggestion is very good. It will not only give you and your team a place to conduct research and experiments, but also have funds for research. This will also reduce the pressure on the government. If it succeeds, If you do, Jintan Village and all nearby immigrant villages and aborigines will be able to see your success up close. Then we can implement this method of wind prevention, sand control, and ecological improvement to the entire Yuquan Camp. economic development Zone."
Wang Zhong also added: "Professor Ling, I think we want to get rid of poverty and achieve a comprehensive well-off society. The villagers want to change their way of life and live a good life. These are all things that should be done, but to achieve these goals , cannot be established at the expense of ecology.
The reason why I am so bold and want to invite you and your team to my farm, professor, is that I want to combine the strength of all of us to find a way that will not destroy the ecology, but also allow the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich through labor. "
"You have the technology, we have the strength, we have the space, and the folks have seen your research up close, so they naturally have more trust in you."
"For you to say that, it means you have really thought about it carefully." Ling Yinong looked at Wang Zhong more and more unexpectedly. He was a little surprised at Wang Zhong's age, but what surprised him even more was Wang Zhong's knowledge.
“The party and the government provide such vigorous assistance in order to allow poor areas like Xihaigu to develop. But what we want is not just blind development, but sustainable development. If we only have one or two generations of wealth, People, however, leave endless hidden dangers to future generations. Such wealth is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the egg, and it will have no effect."
Wang Zhong nodded seriously, "We all know the truth, but it is too difficult to do this. Just like ecological destruction, do the people intentionally want to destroy the ecology? They don't want to either, they just want to live. Go down, if you want to support your children, you have no other choice, so you have to do it."
"Not to mention other places, let's just say that in Xihaigu, the forest coverage rate is declining year by year, and the land desertification is becoming increasingly serious, but there is no way. People need fire for cooking and heating in winter. The corn stalks and rice straw produced in the fields every year There is only so much, which is not enough to burn, so the common people can only cut down trees, dig grass, and collect cow dung to burn."
"Whether they are the immigrants who came to Diaozhuang or the aborigines, they are basically farmers with their backs to the sky and their backs to the sky. They only tend crops, manage the fields, and work hard. But if you talk to them about ecological management, they don't care about it at all. don't know."
"We farmers, what we hope most is fertile land and good weather. Who wants to destroy the ecology? We are all forced to survive in order to survive!"
"In the past few years, the development zone office has often led villagers to plant trees around, but the growth cycle of trees is too long, and the conditions here are harsh. If the saplings are planted, the survival rate is not high."
"So now we urgently need intellectuals like Professor Ling, national talents with top-notch high-tech skills, to lead us and help us."
After listening to Wang Zhong's heartfelt words, Ling Yinong was deeply moved and moved.
Chen Jinshan was able to be sent here to serve as deputy county magistrate, of course, not for gold plating, but because he was really capable. Upon seeing this, he immediately pushed the boat forward and said: "Professor, Comrade Wang Zhong is asking the immigrants who came to Diaozhuang to immigrate, as well as the local people." In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very prestigious.
In the past few years, the brick kilns he brought to Diaozhuang with Xihaigu not only provided many jobs for the immigrants in Diaozhuang, but also offered higher wages than other similar jobs nearby, and they also offered them at cost prices. , giving the bricks burned in the brick kilns to the immigrants on credit, and leading people to help them build houses for free.
Entrepreneurs like Comrade Wang Zhong who care about the people are the targets of close cooperation between our Haiji County People's Government and Yuquanying Economic Development! "
Professor Ling became even more surprised. Chen Jinshan naturally would not use these things to tease him. On the contrary, since these words could come out of Chen Jinshan's mouth, it must have gone through a detailed investigation.
Although Professor Ling Yinong has an upright temperament, it does not mean that he does not understand the ways of the world. On the contrary, it is precisely because he understands the ways of the world that Professor Ling Yinong is not willing to waste time on these things, but spends more time on science. On research.
However, Wang Zhong did surprise him again and again: "Inspections and suggestions are fine, but regarding the experiment, I need to discuss it with my students before giving you an answer."
"And you have to say hello to Director Wu of the Poverty Alleviation Office for this matter first. I promised Director Wu to come here to plant fungi, mushrooms, grass to solidify the sand, and to use grass to raise orphans. But the main thing is It’s still a matter of planting mushrooms, windproofing and sand fixing are just incidental.”
Chen Jinshan said: "I have said hello to Director Wu, and Director Wu has also expressed her support. She supports local business owners like Comrade Wang Zhong and supports Teacher Ling's research and experiments. If there is a need, she can help poverty alleviation." The office will do their best to help.”
"If that's the case, then I'm fine."
"Professor Ling! Thank you! Thank you!" Wang Zhong suddenly beamed with joy and said with some excitement.
"County Magistrate Chen, thank you too, thank you to the Poverty Alleviation Office, and thank you, Director Wu!"
Wang Zhong admires and respects scientists like Professor Ling Yinong from the bottom of his heart who are obsessed with scientific research, are rigorous and serious, have strict requirements on themselves, and are dedicated to the people's livelihood.
Relevant staff of Director Wu Yuejuan of the Poverty Alleviation and Development Office traveled thousands of miles to come here to provide targeted assistance. Although part of it was a political task, their help to the Yuquanying Economic Development Zone and the villagers who immigrated to Diaozhuang was not. It's the real deal.
In the original plot, Professor Ling Yinong led the villagers to plant Orphan bisporus, which was put on the shelves by Chen Jinshan. This is enough to show Professor Ling Yinong's sense of responsibility and concern for the livelihood of the people.
But later, Professor Ling and his team, in order to solve the villagers' inventory problem of bisporus, traveled to surrounding provinces and cities, and even put money in to ensure the villagers' profits due to high transportation costs.
How can one not like or respect such a lovely and respectable person?
Wang Zhong was really happy. If he could really abduct Professor Ling Yinong to his farm, the small rural economic system that combined planting and breeding that he had envisioned would be realized earlier.
Moreover, the bisporus grown by Professor Ling Yinong and led by the villagers can not only be eaten fresh, but can also be made into cans and condiments. If the technology is up to standard, the mycelium can also be used to produce protein, oxalic acid, and bacterial sugar. substance.
In addition, the medicinal value of Bisporus is also very high. In the eyes of Wang Zhong, a Chinese medicine doctor who has reached the fourth level and can be called a master of traditional Chinese medicine, it is not difficult to prepare Bisporus.
"I wonder when Professor Ling will be free. I'll come and pick you up?" Wang Zhong doesn't want to waste time anymore. The sooner this kind of thing is settled, the better. With Professor Ling's temperament, he will definitely not break his promise, otherwise If so, there's really no telling what will happen.
Maybe Cheng Yaojin might show up to disrupt the situation along the way.
Professor Ling thought for a moment, discussed something with the fat little black man behind him, then turned around and said, "Don't change the date. It just so happens that you are all here today. Don't make it so troublesome. Xiao Huang and I will go with you first." Let’s go to your farm first to see what’s going on, and treat it as an advance inspection.”
"But I have to say the ugly things first,"
"Ah? Are you leaving now?" Chen Jinshan said in surprise.
"You guys wait a moment while Xiao Huang and I clean up!"
"Professor, just sit down and I'll take care of it!" Xiao Huang is the fat little black guy following Ling Yinong. He is not tall. Fortunately, although he looks fat now, he actually doesn't have much fat on his body. It's just that she is not tall and has a relatively strong body, so she inevitably looks a little fatter.
Xiao Huang's full name is Huang Zhanqi. He is from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. He used to be Ling Yinong's student and is now Ling Yinong's assistant. He is a very talented young man.
Huang Zhanqi moved quickly and packed up two satchels and a backpack in less than a moment. Chen Jinshan brought the driver, and Wang Zhong also drove his own pickup truck, which was quite large enough to sit on.
Ling Yinong and Huang Zhanqi both chose to take Wang Zhong's pickup truck. Along the way, they asked Wang Zhong a lot about some basic information about the area, and Wang Zhong answered them all in detail.
Ling Yinong was a practical person and didn't want to waste time, so he asked Wang Zhong to take him and Huang Zhanqi to the fields first so that he could have a good idea.
Wang Zhong naturally had no objection and drove the two of them straight to the farm.
The farm of more than 500 acres, where the farm borders Qingtong Gorge, is also where the irrigation canal is located. The irrigation canal is more than three meters wide and two meters deep, in the shape of an inverted ladder. There are saplings planted on both sides, but the saplings were planted last. They are only a few months old, and they are still just small seedlings. Looking along the way, many of them are already withered and yellow, and it seems that they may die at any time.
