Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

A few days passed quickly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua eventually got back their certificates and awards for their bravery, and each of them also received a bonus of 500 yuan.

Fortunately, the couple refused all interviews, which prevented them from attracting too much attention.

This year, during the holiday, my family didn't go anywhere. We stayed home and had a meal with my older brother and sister-in-law.

"The company has developed without any major problems so far, which I think is related to the fact that General Manager Cai and others are good at going to the grassroots level. Recently, the company's management team has started going to the countryside again, and we can't abandon this tradition."

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Fang Ping became more talkative.

He felt lost for a while after returning to his hometown, but later he found enjoyment in his inspection work, took his work to heart, and redefine his own value.

Well, he felt that he was already very satisfied with how he had come to where he was today, having gone from a farmer with little literacy.

“We must not lose our fine traditions, otherwise there will be no point in us running this collective enterprise. Come on, brother, let’s drink.”

Fang Wei controlled the amount of alcohol he drank, and when he noticed that his older brother was a little dizzy, he stopped drinking on his own initiative.

After finishing their last glass of wine, Pan Lianhua and her sister started clearing the table, then laid out mooncakes and some fruit.

Everyone sat together, no longer talking about work, just chatting casually.

Fang Ping and Tian Guihua didn't return home until midnight. Fang Wei and others washed up and went to bed.

The next day at work, Fang Wei learned that Fan Zhipeng had quietly returned to the village the day before and left early that morning. He left some money and used it to pay off part of the debts according to the list.

"He's a responsible person, though."

Fang Wei sighed, but that was all; she had no other thoughts.

I did visit a hardware factory in the afternoon. The hardware factory is now thriving and has firmly established itself as the leader in the lock industry.

“Secretary Fang, I have an idea. What do you think? I plan to set up another factory in Xiangshan. This way, we can better share resources and maintain our current position.”

The new factory director is very enterprising and not satisfied with the status quo; he wants to take things to the next level.

If hardware factories do not expand outwards, they may miss out on historic opportunities for development.

“Your idea makes a lot of sense. Here’s what you’ll do: write a report directly to the company, and once it’s approved, you can go ahead and do it.”

Fang Wei did not express his opinion directly. He was paying close attention to procedural matters and did not want to break the rules because of himself.

The new factory director was very happy. Although the Party Secretary did not express his opinion, his words implied his support, and the matter should be successful.

After walking around the factory, Fang Wei turned and left, stopping by to check out the various processing plants along the way.

Xinlin County is located in a remote area and its basic conditions are not very good, which also limits the development of various enterprises.

However, this issue needs to be viewed from two perspectives. For example, agricultural and sideline product processing enterprises such as chili sauce factories and rice mills do not have this problem, and it would be inappropriate for them to move to another location.

Furniture companies can't be located here. The furniture industry needs to keep up with the times, and staying in the countryside is out of place.

Hardware factories, situated between the two, still have a need to expand outwards.

The two major distribution centers for the domestic lock industry are Xinlin County and Xiangshan County. It would certainly be beneficial for a hardware factory to operate across both regions.

The hardware factory will register its lock manufacturing company in Xiangshan, focusing on both domestic sales and foreign trade, which should allow it to continue to grow and expand.

Cai Tong received the report from the hardware factory, but instead of immediately convening a meeting to discuss it, he planned to wait until after the autumn harvest. Learning from Fan Zhipeng's experience, he remained cautious.

The company's various production units ushered in the autumn harvest, and Fang Wei did not sit in the office but went directly to the Chenzhou production base.

The Chenzhou production base, also known as the Chenzhou rice planting base, is, as the name suggests, a production base that only grows rice.

Growing rice is certainly not as profitable as breeding rice, but the problem is that the market capacity for rice seeds is limited, while the market capacity for rice is almost unlimited.

Previously, the company held talks in Hengzhou, also intending to build a rice production base.

However, Hengzhou is rather greedy and wants to introduce rice varieties for cultivation, so the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.

Upon arriving at the Chenzhou base, Fang Wei immediately spotted the combine harvesters. Large machinery possesses a unique beauty, and its harvesting efficiency far surpasses that of manual labor.

"Secretary Fang, you must be tired from your journey. Shall we go to the base office for a cup of tea first?"

The person in charge of the base came forward and invited Fang Wei to sit in the office for a while.

Fang Wei didn't make a fuss; she was genuinely a bit tired after running all that way.

Upon arriving at the office of the base manager, a staff member brought tea, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

It was mainly the base leader who was giving a report, and Fang Wei listened attentively.

The Chenzhou rice planting base has achieved a bumper harvest this season, with an estimated yield of over 6 million jin of rice and a production value of over 2 million yuan.

"Well done! Come on, let's go take a look around the fields."

Fang Wei drank a few cups of tea, and the base manager finished his work report. So the two went to the fields, where Fang Wei picked up some broken rice grains from the ground; they looked to be of very good quality.

noon.

Fang Wei ate in the cafeteria like everyone else. The food was alright; at least everyone seemed to enjoy it. There were both meat and vegetable dishes, but the taste was just so-so.

He wasn't nitpicking; the food was already quite good by today's standards, and there was no need to complain.

After finishing his meal, he left and headed straight for the Yangshan rice planting base.

Fang Wei came and went in a hurry, it was really not just a fleeting visit. In fact, with his experience, he could get a general idea just by looking around, and almost no one could deceive him.

Because there were dedicated inspectors, Fang Wei's main purpose in coming here was not to become detached from the masses. If he always sat in the office, high and mighty, it would be difficult for him to grasp the real situation.

Fang Wei stayed overnight at the Yangshan rice planting base and didn't leave until noon the next day.

The situation is even better at the Yangshan rice planting base. The most direct impression is that it is clean and tidy everywhere you go, and the production is meticulous.

The requirements at the base are very strict, but the food is better than at the Chenzhou base, and the workers are in better spirits.

Fang Wei did not praise the person in charge of the base to his face, but instead kept some information in mind.

in the afternoon.

Fang Wei returned home, intending to lie down and rest for a while, but soon fell asleep.

"Third brother, third brother, there's a phone call for you."

Half asleep, Fang Wei heard her older sister's voice.

He woke up immediately and rushed downstairs to answer the phone.

"Secretary, news has come from the sales department that Xin Kaiqi has suddenly announced the launch of its new generation of corn seeds, with sales starting in ten days."

The call was from Cai Tong. He had heard that Secretary Fang had returned today, and someone had seen his car parked outside his yard.

The release of the new product by New Cage this time was very sudden. Perhaps learning from previous experiences, New Cage launched a surprise attack.

"They've learned their lesson, haven't they? Have they released any data about their new product?"

"It has been announced that the latest generation of corn yields between 1900 and 2000 jin, exhibits outstanding resistance, and other indicators are also excellent."

"Yes, there is some pressure, but not too much. Our [Yuxiang No. 1] hybrid corn has better data than the competition in all aspects. Can New Cage really turn the tide?"

Fang Wei and Cai Tong were not very nervous. Although the genetically modified corn seeds were very good, they still did not reach the level of the [Yuxiang No. 1] hybrid corn.

As a pursuer, as long as there is no towering mountain blocking your way, you are destined not to cause much of a stir.

Fang Wei and the technical staff of the research institute and the crop institute are currently studying the breeding of a new generation of rapeseed. At the same time, he and the breeding team in Yao Village are also verifying the reliability of mutant soybean varieties.

To be honest, I really don't have the energy to upgrade [Yuxiang No. 1].

Cai Tong's next sentence brought up this very issue: "Secretary, can we start researching second-generation hybrid corn as soon as possible?"

“We can start the project, but let me tell you, New Cage will never beat us in the corn seed sector. With their current data, it will take them at least three to five years to catch up with us.”

Fang Wei responded with a smile, his simple words filled with domineering power.

The final yield of Xin Kaiqi's new corn variety will definitely not exceed 2000 jin per mu. It would be a miracle if it could stabilize at over 1900 jin per mu.

As for other data, it's even further behind. To catch up with the vertical screen of [Yu Xiang No. 1], three years probably won't be enough.

Now that Fang Wei has agreed to initiate the project to study second-generation hybrid corn, perhaps the company's research project will also succeed by the time New Cage catches up.

Even then, the opponent still won't be able to catch up.

"Secretary, I feel relieved to hear you say that. You should rest now, we can talk again later."

Cai Tong is currently busy with the autumn harvest; if this matter weren't so important, he wouldn't be distracted at all.

Since Fang Wei was so confident, he had nothing to worry about and ended the call.

Fang Wei then glanced at his watch. It was almost time to leave work, so he didn't bother going back to the office and turned to walk into the kitchen.

"Sister, let's not cook dinner tonight, let's go to the county for dinner."

Just as the older sister was preparing dinner, Fang Wei spoke up and stopped her.

Afterwards, Fang Wei drove the other party to the bamboo ware factory Zhaopan Lotus, and the three of them went to the county town together.

"No wonder New Cage went to great lengths to break up the cooperative; it turns out they haven't given up and still want to take back their share of the corn seed market."

They ate at the same old place, the same place Fang Wei had been going to eat at for a long time.

The three of them didn't order any alcohol. While eating, he told Pan Lianhua about the new Cage.

Pan Lianhua snorted coldly after hearing this, believing that no matter what methods the new Cage used, he would never be able to return to his peak. (End of Chapter)
