Chapter 380

Seeing that Zhang Qianxiu didn't seem to be lying, yuan pengchi tentatively asked, "Mr. Zhang, do we study the most basic things?"

"The more basic things are, the more money will be invested. Even if there are achievements, there may be no way to use them directly."

"To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is hard to make profits, but as long as it produces results, it will benefit the country and the people."

What yuan pengchi didn't say is that these achievements are also beneficial to the people who have studied this thing, and the interests are still very large.

Knowing what yuan pengchi was thinking, Zhang Qianxiu asked, "what are the basic things of agricultural research?"

Yuan pengchi said: "crops, such as the advantages of hybrid crops, as well as their utilization and biological basis; The mechanism of efficient light energy conversion of photosynthesis and its application in agriculture; Innovation of crop seeds, discovery and utilization of new genes; The physiological mechanism of crop high yield and its molecular research; Crop gene function analysis and so on, these are the most basic

"But the research of these things will not make the crops yield immediately, but the research of one thing will be beneficial to the application of agricultural technology in the whole country and even the whole world."

Zhang Qianxiu understood and said, "I probably understand."

"Professor Yuan, what you are talking about is scientific research, and you cultivate seeds for me. You are at the junction of science and technology. You call it technology. He does have some research elements. He calls it scientific research, and it belongs to practical technology."

"Professor Yuan, these are real science."

"Scientific research has no direct commercial value. Only the technology transformed from science has commercial value."

Yuan pengchi was stunned for a moment, carefully pondered Zhang Qianxiu's last sentence, nodded and said: "boss Zhang, what you said is actually similar."

"Scientific research is mainly divided into two fields, one is basic science, the other is applied science."

"We cultivate seeds, which belongs to the next branch of biological science, belongs to applied science. We study the principle of photosynthesis, crop molecules and genes, which belongs to biological science, that is, basic science."

"Applied science is basically to make use of the existing basic science to do research, and turn the results of basic science research into usable. It connects basic science and technology."

"Technology is something ordinary people can learn without a high professional level."

"In fact, applied science is not simple. For example, chip research belongs to applied science."

"The more developed the basic science is, the longer and wider the road of applied science will be."

Before, Zhang Qianxiu didn't have a deep understanding of scientific research. After yuan pengchi explained, Zhang Qianxiu probably also had an understanding.

He is a businessman. Basic science is of little use to him. It is difficult for him to realize commercial value.

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and said, "Professor Yuan, in the future, the research institute can study basic science, but there must be a proportion."

"At most 10% of the funds should be used to study basic science."

"I'm an ordinary businessman. Basic science is not very useful to me. The investment cost is still high."

"I'm willing to invest 10% of the research cost, but I don't think I can produce any results."

"In the past three years, I will continue to invest money. In the third year, I will invest 10 million in basic scientific research for you."

For Zhang Qianxiu's decision, yuan pengchi was not surprised at all.

It's a small surprise that Zhang Qianxiu can invest 10 million in basic scientific research.

In fact, our later hybrid rice also belongs to applied research, which is one of the reasons why Mr. Yuan did not win the Nobel Prize for his research on hybrid rice. The Nobel Prize is basically awarded to basic science.

In addition, many people are actually studying hybrid rice. When the results were obtained, the report was written about "Yuan Longping and others", which caused many people's dissatisfaction. These people have no opinion about Mr. Yuan's ranking first, but they have a lot of opinions about the "others" behind.

The most intuitive thing is the bonus. In 1981, the national award awarded Mr. yuan 5000 yuan, and Mr. Yan, the second, 4600 yuan. It can be seen that the contributions of these two old scientists are almost the same.

Yuan pengchi has been very satisfied with the result: "Mr. Zhang, I can understand this."

Zhang Qianxiu said slightly apologetically: "Professor Yuan, it's not that I don't want to invest too much money in basic research, but basic scientific research, which is a bottomless pit. Even if I invest one billion yuan in it, maybe I can make some achievements, but it's difficult to make a major breakthrough."

Yuan pengchi nodded: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to say that. I'm very surprised that you can invest in basic science."

"You know it's possible for the 10 million to float, but you did. I'm very dynamic and grateful."

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Professor Yuan, it's not good for me to invite you now. After all, I can't give you any guarantee."

"After that, the investment of our research institute is high. Would you like to come to our research institute?"

Yuan pengchi was silent for a moment and said, "I have this plan too. Mr. Zhang is the businessman I have met and the person who attaches the most importance to scientific research. Although I can get a lot of research resources at school, my interpersonal relationship is too complicated."

"In terms of interpersonal relationship, I have to put too much energy into it. I can't completely calm down and do research."

"If Mr. Zhang is willing to continue to invest, I would be very happy to come here."

When Zhang Qianxiu saw that yuan pengchi also had this idea, he was overjoyed: "it's so best, Mr. Yuan. If you come here, you don't have to worry about other things. You just concentrate on your research."

"I can assure you that I will arrange all your food, clothing, housing and transportation. If your family needs any help, I can fully support you."

"If you lead a project to produce results, it's all up to you. How to arrange it academically is up to you. No one can control your decision, including me."

Academic problems are the guarantee of Zhang Qianxiu over and over again.

Yuan pengchi doesn't care much about money. He is old. With his current achievements, it's impossible to be rich simply by relying on his knowledge and academic status, but it's not difficult to live a rich life.

Yuan pengchi doesn't have much pursuit of material life. Now he wants to get some fame, that is, academic achievements.

Zhang Qianxiu can satisfy his needs.

As for Zhang Qianxiu, he believed that yuan pengchi was capable. He served as the dean of the Agricultural College of National Agricultural University, and also took charge of a Research Institute of the University.

But Zhang Qianxiu does not dare to give yuan pengchi too high a position now, because no one knows whether another more powerful person will come in and give yuan pengchi the highest position. What will the later people do?

Yuan pengchi said: "Mr. Zhang, when I help you to study the improved seeds, I will go to the school to apply for resignation and come to you."

Zhang Qianxiu was also very happy: "good! Mr. Yuan, you don't have to call me Mr. Zhang. Just call me by my name or Xiao Zhang. "

Yuan pengchi dragged out the improved seeds to see if Zhang Qianxiu would continue to invest money in research. If he did, it would show that Zhang Qianxiu's investment in scientific research was continuous and worth his coming. If Zhang Qianxiu did not continue to invest money after the improved seeds came out, yuan pengchi would not come.

Zhang Qianxiu thought that it would take so long for the improved seeds to come out. During this period of time, he might be able to find some old experts like yuan pengchi to come in. At that time, he could arrange his position, so as not to let yuan pengchi take all the advantages. Later, he was not happy.

Many of these old experts have been doctoral candidates. If they come here, they may bring many young researchers.

At the beginning, Xu Lun and others, who were not going to come to Zhang Qianxiu, were excited to hear the dialogue between Zhang Qianxiu and Yuan pengchi. If they came here, they might have made some achievements. After all, Zhang Qianxiu promised to invest a lot of money!

Chenzhuang is located in the north of Zhongzhou Province, while the wasteland mentioned by yuan pengchi is in woniu market, just at the junction of plains and mountains, so the terrain gap is large, high in the West and low in the East.

When Zhang Qianxiu and others got off the train, they saw that some people were already waiting on the platform. They were all official people. These people were from the agricultural and land departments.

After some introduction, they said hello to each other.

Yuan pengchi is familiar with the leaders of the agricultural department. He used to be a classmate. After meeting, he had a good chat.

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei are received by a middle-aged man named song Weizhuang, director of the Department of land and resources.

"Boss Zhang, Miss Su, it's great that you can invest in our city." Song Weizhuang made polite remarks.

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei just agreed with each other with a smile and made a few polite remarks. The head of the Ministry of agriculture, yuan pengchi's classmate, also chatted with Zhang Qianxiu, but they still made some polite remarks.

Yuan pengchi's old classmate, Shi Chengwang, had been engaged in research before. Later, he gradually came out of the Research Institute and became an official.

The party took them to the guest house first. After dinner, they were all familiar.

It's more than seven o'clock in the evening.

After obtaining Zhang Qianxiu's consent, several officials, mainly Shi Chengwang and song Weizhuang, began to talk with Zhang Qianxiu and Yuan pengchi about the specific situation.

Shi Chengwang first took out a map to spread out, then took out a pen, drew a circle on the map, and said: "boss Zhang, the piece of wasteland we talked about is here."

Zhang Qianxiu looked at the place carefully. It was almost plain on one side and mountains on the other. There was a concave place in the middle, just like a canyon, which was the wasteland that the official said.

Judging from the map, that area is still very good.

Shi Chengwang said: "boss Zhang, this place is flat. We have surveyed the total area, which is nearly 100000 mu."

This is bigger than what yuan pengchi said.

However, a large place does not mean that all of them can be used. Moreover, there must be some problems in this place, which is relatively difficult to solve. Otherwise, such a good place can not be uninhabited. Even if it happens by chance, no one will find it there, or no one is willing to live there. There is no reason for the government to give you such a good piece of land free of charge and give you subsidies.

Is it really just because of water resources?
