The more Zhang Qianxiu studied, the more he found that his knowledge was not enough. Even farming, especially large-scale planting, was a technical job.
It seems that we have to find experts.
The next day, Zhang Qianxiu called Tian Shuyuan.
When Tian Shuyuan answered the phone, he didn't know it was Zhang Qianxiu: "Hello, who's calling, please?"
Zhang Qianxiu said, "Professor Tian, I'm Zhang Qianxiu. Do you have any experts in agriculture at Qingda?"
Tian Shuyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "agriculture? There is no major in this field in Qingda. In terms of agriculture, Huaguo Agricultural University is more professional. "
Zhang Qianxiu actually wants to go to an agricultural university, but he doesn't matter! Go straight to someone else's professor and they won't talk to you at all.
Therefore, Zhang Qianxiu wants to build a bridge through Tian Shuyuan and meet with several reliable professors and experts first.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Professor Tian, would you please introduce me? I have some questions that I would like to ask experts and professors in this field."
Tian Shuyuan asked strangely, "Mr. Zhang, don't you want to make chips? Why are you interested in agriculture? "
Zhang Qianxiu explained: "Professor Tian, I'm in the grain business. Recently, I'm trying to do large-scale mechanized planting and learn from the Soviet Union and the United States. But I don't know much about this, so I want to ask experts."
Tian Shuyuan was also surprised when he heard this. After all, the mechanization rate in China is still very low. But he thought that Zhang Qianxiu always wanted to spend 20 million to send people to study abroad. It's normal to have a business, but it's abnormal to have no business: "that's a good thing to say. I'll give you a call from Professor Yuan pengchi, He is also the dean of the school of Agronomy and Biotechnology of Agricultural University, and he is very authoritative in this respect. "
What Zhang Qianxiu needed was such a magnate. He said with a smile, "thank you, Professor Tian."
Tian Shuyuan gave the phone number to Zhang Qianxiu, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, please call me in five minutes. I'll give you a call first. Don't make any mistake at that time."
"Please, Professor Tian." Thank you, Zhang Qian. I'd like to thank you for your help.
Hang up the phone, Zhang Qianxiu began to think about how to develop in the grain and oil field.
Before he had no money, what he was thinking about was how to find low-cost purchasing channels, but with enough money, Zhang Qianxiu really wanted to deeply cultivate agriculture.
Science and technology may be eliminated by new technologies, but agriculture will never be eliminated. No one can guarantee that chips will be needed in 2050. Chips are not the most cutting-edge technologies, but they will definitely have to eat in 2050.
To develop agriculture, professionals are indispensable. Zhang Qianxiu didn't think of those old farmers for the first time. They didn't help him much. He trusted these professors more.
The old farmer will plant one mu and three parts of the land, but if you ask him to plant 1000 mu, 10000 mu, 100000 mu, he will never be able to manage it well.
But these professors and experts may be able to.
In the last world, although professors and experts were disdained on the Internet, it was precisely these people who had excellent professional skills. Professors and experts were spread all over the Internet. They were mainly people who did not have the ability themselves and even claimed or listed various titles of experts and professors.
In fact, the title of a professor is very difficult to get. First of all, it is the qualification. How many years must I have to be an associate professor; Secondly, in scientific research, you have to have the experience of participating in scientific research projects, and you are not fishing in troubled waters, and the project level requirements are relatively high.
In terms of papers, there are also quite high requirements. A number of papers must be published in the world-famous academic exchange forum. This kind of paper has very high requirements, and the professional gold content is very high; In addition, in the academic aspect, we should also obtain certain awards. We also require that you do not just get any awards; Finally, we also need the patent requirements of professional subjects. A good school will also need the transformation results of your patents. In other words, it's just how important your patents can play. It's not good to toss about a few useless patents.
Third, there are requirements in teaching. For the length of teaching time in recent years, this means to teach undergraduates; In the aspect of graduate students, we should investigate the number of graduate students, the level of graduation thesis, awards and so on; In addition, it is also required to have the experience of guiding students to participate in various professional competitions and academic competitions. Better schools should have grade requirements for these competitions, and it is not good to make a mess of competitions; There are also requirements for educational reform, such as revising textbooks and publishing papers on educational reform.
The fourth aspect is the specific situation of individuals and families.
According to this standard, as long as they don't go through the back door, those who can be professors are really talented and practical in their majors, which is definitely not as useless as those who later spray on the Internet.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Zhang Qianxiu waited one or two more minutes to get through.
The phone rang twice, and a loud voice came from the opposite side: "Hello! Who is it
Zhang Qianxiu asked, "is it Professor Yuan pengchi? I'm Zhang Qianxiu. I've asked Professor Tian for your contact information. I'd like to ask you some questions. "
"Ah! Yes, it's me Yuan pengchi said, "Mr. Zhang, what questions do you need to ask?"
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Professor Yuan, I'm in the grain business. I've thought about it recently. I want to do large-scale rice planting and implement mechanized planting. But this kind of thing, we laymen, can't do with a pat on the head, so I want to consult you."
Yuan pengchi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, this question is quite wide. I can't explain it clearly in the phone for a while and a half. You can come over once when you have time. We can talk face to face. If I can answer it, I will help you."
"When will Professor Yuan have time? When you have time, I'll call and ask for advice. " Zhang Qianxiu asked.
Yuan pengchi said: "this afternoon, the day after tomorrow morning, then we have to wait until the winter vacation, this year's end, there are more things."
"Then I'll call on you this afternoon."
"Yes! Welcome Mr. Zhang. One o'clock in the afternoon. I'll be free then. "
Yuan pengchi left an address for Zhang Qianxiu, and two people politely hung up.
After he hung up the phone, Zhang Qianxiu went out alone and was going to pick a gift for yuan pengchi. He didn't know what kind of person yuan pengchi was. It was too expensive, too cheap, and a little too perfunctory. Finally, he chose a Parker pen with tens of yuan.
Dozens of yuan is not cheap, but it's not so expensive.
A professor's normal income can be bought by biting his teeth, but it is absolutely not enough to make people gossip.
At noon, I had lunch with Su Yuwei, and then drove to the Agricultural University alone.
When Zhang Qianxiu arrived, he inquired about the address. When he arrived, it was still 12:40. When he found yuan pengchi's office, it was already 12:50.
Zhang Qianxiu is afraid that yuan pengchi has the habit of taking a nap, so he specially waits outside.
After waiting for two minutes, the door of the office opened and an old man in his early sixties came out: "is it Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Qianxiu looked at the old man. His clothes were very simple, and he didn't have any airs. If he didn't wear a pair of glasses and put them in the countryside, he would be the old man in the countryside.
Zhang Qianxiu quickly responded: "yes, is that Professor Yuan?"
Yuan pengchi said with a smile: "yes! Mr. Zhang came in and sat down. I just came back from the experimental field and washed it. When I saw you standing outside, I thought it was you. "
Zhang Qianxiu followed yuan pengchi into the office.
Yuan pengchi's office is still very simple, most of which are books, because he is a dean, the office is quite large, and there is a rest room inside.
"Professor Yuan went to the experimental field himself? I thought you specialized in academic research. " Zhang Qianxiu said casually.
While pouring water for Zhang Qianxiu, yuan pengchi said: "we are engaged in agriculture. Reading books is not good. We still have to go down to the ground. Otherwise, we are talking on paper."
With that, yuan pengchi handed the water to Zhang Qianxiu.
Zhang Qianxiu took the water in both hands and took out the gift he bought: "Professor Yuan, what I admire most in my heart is that you are really making a living for the people. Over the years, China's grain production has been increasing. Thanks to people like Professor Yuan, I am in a hurry. Thinking that you are a professor and have to write every day, I bought a pen at will."
Yuan pengchi declined for a while, but Zhang Qianxiu insisted on two sentences and accepted them. After all, the pen should not be too expensive, and Yuan pengchi didn't care.
"Mr. Zhang, what specific questions do you want to ask this time?" Yuan pengchi asked.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Professor Yuan, I'm in the grain business. These days, I think I want to contract apprentices in a large area. Like the Soviet Union and the United States, mechanized planting can also improve efficiency. However, there are too few data and places for reference in our country. I can only ask Professor Yuan, an expert like you."
Yuan pengchi thought for a while and said, "boss Zhang, I don't know what aspect you want to know. I'll say it casually and you can listen to it casually. If there's anything you want to know deeply, you can ask me and I'll give you a detailed explanation."
Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "OK, you say!"
Yuan pengchi said: "agriculture, to put it bluntly, is a kind of thing. From this point of view, it is actually land and seeds."
"Subdivided down, different land is suitable for planting different crops, which requires specific circumstances, specific analysis, and scientific planting methods. This year, corn is planted on this land, and next year, potatoes are planted. If you want potatoes to grow well, you have to find ways to raise land, but our country basically does not care about these."
"The second is seeds. At present, farmers basically keep some full seeds by themselves. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge in it."
"After planting, crops will get sick, so we have to study the genetics and pathology of plants, and so on."
"In this way, apart from land, there are breeding, genetics, pathology, plant diseases and insect pests, crop cultivation and cultivation, as well as seed science."
"Of course, as a farm, you don't need to know so much about it. You can buy seeds, but you need to know about cultivation, farming, pathology, plant diseases and insect pests, or invite people in this field."
"It's easy to say that the biggest problem for large-scale mechanization is machinery."
"At present, China can hardly make large agricultural machinery."
Zhang Qianxiu was a little surprised: "is the technology of agricultural machinery very high?"
