Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect to develop the seed so early, but now he was surprised to have a news.
Yuan pengchi said, "Qian Xiu, we may have to recruit more people from our research institute. In addition, you have to find a way to arrange for us to go to the urban area once in a while."
"Now there are many young people who can't bear to stay in the countryside every day. They can't spend money in their hands. Except for going to the market, they can't find a place to spend money in the laboratory. There's nothing to sell in the village's canteen. We can't smooth out the vitality of the young people for the sake of scientific research."
Zhang Qianxiu thought about it for a while, and thought that it was really remote there. Now most of the rural areas are nowhere to go. Muddy roads and crops that can't be seen at a glance are standard.
"Mr. Yuan, how many people are there in the laboratory now?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.
"More than 30 people!" "These people are enough for the current project," Yuan said
Zhang Qianxiu pressed the thought in his heart for a while, and said, "OK, I'll tell the people over there. Then they will arrange a car to send the researchers to the city once a week."
"Now that our conditions are good, we need to learn the spirit of our ancestors, but we can't deliberately create a difficult environment to make it difficult for us."
Yuan pengchi said with a smile: "before I came here, I didn't tell manager Li that they were, and at that time, you don't have to say it was my proposal. Although our research laboratory is not in their charge, we all find them to solve our problems. Manager Li, they are very attentive to our problems."
Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "I understand that."
"Lao Liang, what's the situation over there now?"
Liang Junming said: "in the early days, we planted a batch of grass to make fertilizer. This year, we have already sowed it. This year's harvest will not be very good. Moreover, we are short of water this year. We are still building good canals and reservoirs."
"It depends! Next year's harvest will be improved. At the latest, the next year, we will be able to enter the normal production
"I told boss Zhang last time that a power station would be built in the reservoir. At that time, the farm will not have to worry about using its own electricity."
"There will be a surplus to be sold to the state, and there will be a revenue."
"In terms of the reservoir, I just want to ask boss Zhang for advice on whether to raise some fish at that time. We are in charge of the reservoir all these years. If we raise fish, it's also our income."
Zhang Qianxiu has no opinion about this: "yes! Keep it! I just asked about the specific matters. If you have any questions, just write a report and make it clear. You can submit the report on time. In other aspects, you can make your own decisions. "
Liang Junming joked: "it's much more free to work with boss Zhang than before. I had to apply for everything I wanted to do before."
Zhang Qianxiu said with a smile: "we are different here. What we pursue is legitimate interests. We try our best to give managers the greatest autonomy. I am a businessman. I only look at the final profits, not the process."
"State units are different. We have to weigh the pros and cons of everything."
A few people chatted, Zhang Qianxiu two people to understand the management of things, generally no problem.
Chatting and chatting, the three people have already brought the topic to the Soviet affairs, and all kinds of plans have been discussed.
Because it is possible for Zhang Qianxiu to purchase agricultural machinery factories in the Soviet Union this time, he talked about the problem of domestic agricultural mechanization.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Mr. Yuan and Mr. Liang, I'm still worried about whether the state will support the promotion of large-scale mechanization in China."
Liang Junming said: "there is no reason not to support it!"
"Lao Liang, I told you last time that our country is engaged in large-scale agricultural mechanization, and there is no place for the surplus labor force to find employment." Zhang Qianxiu went on to say, "if you just rely on the rent, the farmers can't pay the agricultural tax, let alone eat."
"This is the situation in our country. If we really want to carry out large-scale agricultural mechanization, we must at least wait until we have made some achievements in industrialization and solved all the employment problems of young labor force."
"The state will not ignore this. I think the state will support small-scale agricultural machinery. Now it will not support large-scale agricultural machinery."
Liang Junming suddenly became silent. There are at least seven hundred million farmers in China. They all depend on the land for food. They are all mechanized. Millions of people have done the work of seven hundred million people. What are the rest going to do?
Yuan pengchi sighed slightly and said, "Qian Xiu's words are reasonable. Now we don't have the conditions for large-scale promotion of large-scale machinery."
"The state may be more willing to get some small agricultural equipment to help farmers reduce their labor burden."
Small agricultural equipment is actually small tractor, small plow these things, these things really can improve the work efficiency of farmers, also won't let farmers "career".
Liang Junming reluctantly said: "this is such a good opportunity. The Soviet Union is in civil strife. We just need to introduce their technology. Can we just watch this opportunity pass by?"
"If we wait for the stability of the Soviet Union, it will not be so easy for us to get these technologies. It is a question whether they will sell them to us or not."
Yuan pengchi said: "Junming, technology will lag behind. We will introduce technology now. In three or five years, seven or eight years, we may have developed these technologies ourselves. If we want to introduce them now, we must put them into use, and then use the money we earn to invest in research and development again. On the basis of these technologies, we can continue to develop our new technologies."
"If you buy it and keep it, it won't be worth money in a few years."
In fact, ten years ago, it may still be a high-end technology, but ten years later, it may have become popular and can be bought everywhere.
Liang Junming said: "teacher, I just don't want to miss such a good opportunity."
Zhang Qianxiu said at this time: "in fact, we still have a chance."
Both Liang Junming and Yuan pengchi looked at Zhang Qianxiu and did not understand what Zhang Qianxiu meant.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "we have acquired the technology of the Soviet Union, and we will not use it at home for the time being. We will invest abroad and plant it on a large scale."
"In this way, we can ensure the renewal and iteration of technology, and we can also buy these technologies, and we will not have an impact on domestic agriculture."
Liang Junming patted his thigh and said, "this is a good way. We can invest abroad. That's right."
However, yuan pengchi is silent, because they will not go to developed countries to invest abroad, because there are high labor costs and people have technology, so they will not let you invest on a large scale.
In those developing countries, the situation of other people is similar to that in China. Industry has not developed. Many people live on land. If they invest, it will have a serious impact on the lives of local farmers.
Although yuan pengchi is not against such investment, he is not in favor of it.
Seeing what yuan pengchi thought, Zhang Qianxiu said, "Mr. Yuan, this is the world. If we want to invest in agriculture abroad, we must ask for their official approval."
"They don't agree officially. We can't plant it, right? If they don't care about their people, we can't worry about them any more. "
"Even if we don't go, someone else will."
Liang Junming also said: "teacher, what boss Zhang said is not wrong. Other officials don't care. We can't blame him."
Yuan pengchi sighed again: "I know that, and all the money Qian Xiu earned has been invested in domestic chip research and development. In the final analysis, it is also for the development of our own country. I support you. "
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Mr. Yuan, if we acquire enough technology in the Soviet Union, then you may have to change your profession. Instead of studying rice, you need to help us study corn, wheat and soybeans. The country where rice is the staple food is basically the area around our country. Most other regions are wheat, and the use of corn and soybeans is also particularly high."
"There are great differences in geographical environment and climate in foreign countries, and then we have to develop high-yield seeds suitable for local cultivation."
"There is no problem with this, but in this way, we are short of manpower at present," Yuan said
"Moreover, the progress of agricultural research is relatively slow. If we go abroad for planting, we'd better have a local research institute."
The biggest reason for the slow progress of agricultural research is that you have to verify your ideas and your newly developed seeds, and you have to plant them at least once. Any crop has a growth cycle, which takes about 100 days for a short time, or even several years for a long time. When you make mistakes several times, a few years will pass.
Therefore, it takes a long time for agriculture to produce results. Many outstanding scientists can't study several improved seeds in their lifetime just because they don't have enough time.
Many researchers plant dozens of improved varieties at a time for observation, but compared with thousands of trial and error experiments, planting dozens of varieties at a time is too few.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "this is no problem. When we come back, we can expand the scale of the research laboratory on a large scale."
"Mr. Yuan will be responsible for the selection of the number of people needed by the Institute at that time."
"At that time, the research institute can be directly independent and run independently. Mr. Yuan, you can make all your own decisions. No one will question what research you want to do or how to do it."
With a smile, yuan pengchi said, "I had such a hope a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come true ahead of time."
When yuan pengchi first joined, he thought that he could do basic research at that time, but almost nothing produced by basic research can directly produce economic effect, so no company is willing to invest in research.
And basic research is the foundation of all applied science research.
The general situation is that the achievements of basic research will be put into applied scientific research in the next few years, and the achievements of applied scientific research will be transformed into technologies that can be operated by ordinary people, which will bring economic effects.
Although basic scientific research is very important, it has no economic benefits at all.
However, many high gold science awards are given to basic scientific research, such as the Nobel Prize. In addition to economics, culture, peace prize and other fields, those awards for scientific research are given to basic science.
At that time, yuan pengchi wanted to make some achievements in the field of basic science.
