Chapter 418 Promotion
Lao Li had almost finished drinking, and he also answered, "As long as my Rongrong doesn't have any objections, I don't have any objections either."
Shen Guang and Lin Xin thought that there was such a good thing, and asked casually, "Uncle Wei, is your daughter pretty?"
He no longer called him Old Wei or Minister Wei, but directly called him Uncle Wei.
Lao Wei also smiled and scolded: "So you are Lao Li's son-in-law. No wonder you gave me this result. Li Rong is a good girl. My daughter will not compete with her, but thank you anyway."
Lao Wei's gratitude was sincere. If it weren't for his relationship with Lao Li, Shen Guanglin would never have given him this ready-made result.
Of course, Lao Wei's daughter can't compete with Li Rong for Shen Guanglin, and Li Rong seems to be a person with no objections.
She just doesn't have time to care about him. She has never been merciful when dealing with those little cowards outside.
Of course, Shen Guanglin is also very self-conscious in this regard. He doesn't attract bees and butterflies very much. He only makes waves once in a while and then quits when the situation is good.
The three of them returned home having a great time that day. Baodu Feng is a time-honored restaurant in Beijing and the taste is really good.
Here, Lao Wei raised a question: How to quickly promote insect-resistant cotton? What is its yield?
Without the problem of cotton bollworm, the yield will definitely increase significantly, that's for sure.
As for how to promote quickly, that is how to solve the problem of provenance.
There is a fast way to do it fast, and there is a slow way to do it slowly.
Shen Guanglin also said that as long as you have money and want to promote it quickly, it is easy.
However, the Agriculture Committee also has no money. Even though Lao Wei is the deputy leader, the funds at his disposal are limited.
This is simple. Isn't there a saying, "Hold the horse and give him a ride." Shen Guanglin said that he would help Old Wei mount the horse and give him a ride.
Lao Wei can also make jokes to people close to him. He also said, "It seems that I really have to introduce my daughter to you."
However, Lao Wei's daughter was studying at the Agricultural University, and she was afraid that Shen Guanglin would not look down on her academic qualifications.
The issue of promoting insect-resistant cotton was settled during the chat between Shen Guanglin and Lao Wei.
He, Mr. Shen, has always been willing to contribute to the country and the people. As long as it is within his ability, he will never refuse.
The biggest problem now is not lack of money, but lack of land.
He is willing to use cloning to propagate a large number of cotton seedlings asexually without any effort. He will cultivate them for one year this year and then quickly promote them next year.
To put it bluntly, he still wants land.
For the agricultural sector, the most indispensable thing is land.
If he wants land, it's very simple. He can allocate a farm to him around the capital, but he really has to ensure the source of the seeds, so he can't joke around.
This is not only related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also related to Lao Wei's official career.
Shen Guanglin patted his chest, there must be no problem, just take a look.
Of course, for the sake of safety, the land was allocated to the Shen Guanglin Laboratory of Beijing University. In this case, it would not be regarded as private appropriation of national assets, but the control rights of the land were still in Shen Guanglin's hands.
That's almost it.
Shen Guanglin's biotechnology company still has a base in Langfang, and with this newly allocated farm, it should be enough for breeding cotton seeds.
As long as there is money, large-scale asexual reproduction is a matter of time and scale.
In order to let Lao Wei release a big satellite, Shen Guanglin and Lao Wei jointly decided to put the insect-resistant cotton first and wait until it cultivates hundreds or thousands of acres, and wait until July and August when the branches and leaves are luxuriant. Then publish the results.
What a shock this must be.
Perhaps, it may be a little difficult to conduct a very large-scale promotion in the second year, but after three or four years, it can definitely be promoted on a large scale.
After the matter was settled, the next step was the implementation stage. Shen Guanglin still did not use his base in Langfang, but planned to use the new land provided by the agricultural department.
In this way, Dou Wei has a new task.
How to clone an entire plant from a plant tissue is not a new topic, and there are already existing methods. All that is missing is experimental equipment and manpower.
Even an ordinary university laboratory can easily complete such an experiment.
This matter is not easy to achieve only by relying on Beijing University. Fortunately, there are quite a few universities in Beijing, and there are also specialized agricultural universities, which are professional.
It is only the end of April now. According to the general planting rules, cotton is interplanted in wheat fields or planted after wheat is harvested.
In other words, there is still one and a half to two months for reproduction, it depends on how far everyone can go.
As a result, Shen Guanglin provided money and Lao Wei from the agricultural department took the lead, and a large insect-resistant cotton breeding group was established in Huairou.
It is not far from Huairou Reservoir and is a good place for fishing.
Having money means doing things easily.
It only took less than a week to build rows of temporary buildings. Along with the buildings came various experimental equipment and petri dishes. Shen Guanglin also said who used the equipment this year. Whoever owns it will then own it.
Is there such a good thing?
Several universities with biology departments in Beijing have sent people here. They are not here to make money, even if they are to earn some experimental equipment, it would be good.
After all, it's only two months.
Now, Jingcheng Second Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., who is engaged in construction, has also been trained. As long as it is Shen Guanglin's project, the quality and quantity will be guaranteed.
Of course, some troubles occurred in the process, but it did not affect their continued cooperation.
Dou Wei suddenly led a large-scale battle involving hundreds of people, and was immediately full of fighting spirit.
However, the arrival of the research team was not welcomed by the villagers.
Because now is the season when wheat heads and blooms, it is too much for them to suddenly come to occupy the land and destroy the wheat fields.
The country has indeed said that this year's public grain payment will be exempted, and the damaged young crops will be compensated, but this cannot stop the villagers from feeling distressed because they have worked so hard to grow wheat.
When Shen Guanglin came over to fish, the villagers were cutting wheat and cursing: "God is thundering, why don't you kill Dou Wei?"
Why did Dou Wei offend them?
Why did you offend them? Such good wheat was cut off as soon as it was told. For the sake of research, did you completely ignore the life and death of people?
Shen Guanglin asked: "Don't they give you money?" Of course Shen Guanglin knew that they did, and he did everything he could to get himself out.
"We have been given money, but we just can't see it. It's not the time to plant cotton yet. You can plant cotton after the wheat is harvested. I have been farming for many years and I still don't understand." The old farmer was making money. While holding the research team's money, he scolded Dou Wei's mother.
Shen Guanglin knew that he could not persuade the old farmer to take the overall situation into consideration, so he could only agree with him and scold Dou Wei together: "They don't know what is good or bad, they just waste the country's money."
"Young man, I see you are also a cultural person. You are not going to be with them, are you?" The old farmer was a little doubtful.
"No, I'm here to fish." Shen Guanglin gestured to his fishing rod.
"Isn't it true that fishing is not allowed in the reservoir? It is state-owned. Anyone caught fishing will be beaten and fined." The old farmer lives next to the reservoir. He knows very well that the reservoir managers are very cruel. A good person.
Shen Guanglin said with a smile, "I said hello in advance. I bought the fish I caught with my own money, so they didn't object."
"Then why don't you just buy fish?"
