Chapter 647: I Want 10,000 Acres of Land to Build a Seed Base
After hearing what Yang Chen said, Mayor Wang quickly sat down.
He asked seriously: "What's the matter with Director Yang? Please tell me."
Yang Chen: "That's right. I've been thinking recently that I've made so much money that I won't be able to spend it all if I live for another ten thousand years. Then the money is meaningless. So, I want to do something meaningful."
Mayor Wang: "Dr. Yang's ideological consciousness is really high. If those rich people on the rich list can have the same ideological consciousness as you, Director Yang, our entire country will benefit. So what is Director Yang's plan?" ? Just say it, if we can help you, we will absolutely be obliged to do so."
Yang Chen nodded and said: "I feel relieved to have Mayor Wang say this. Now our country is developing rapidly and has led the world in many aspects. However, we have to admit that there are still many places where our compatriots cannot eat. They don’t have enough to eat. It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that they don’t have enough to eat due to the natural environment and other reasons. Therefore, I want to spend a huge amount of money to research agricultural products, commit myself to increasing the output of various agricultural products, and help the country solve the food problem.”
Mayor Wang stood up excitedly.
He held Yang Chen's hand with both hands and asked: "Director Yang, you are really timely. To be honest, according to the predictions of the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments, our country will soon have a food crisis. Especially wheat. , rice, soybeans and other agricultural products that people rely on for survival will be in short supply. Leaders have already begun to make arrangements to deal with this crisis. Many international trading companies are actively contacting foreign grain exporters, hoping to import more food for emergency response. However, Importing costs money, and it is definitely more expensive than the food we grow ourselves. Obviously, this method is very uneconomical. If Director Yang can quickly come up with research results and increase the output of major agricultural products, it will be a great feat that will last forever. Ah. You can definitely go down in history and be admired by future generations."
Not to mention, money is no longer important to Yang Chen now.
The wealth he controls is enough for his family to squander from the ape-man period to the present.
What he wants to do now is to realize his personal value. To put it bluntly, he wants to leave his mark in history.
If a person leaves nothing behind during his lifetime, in the near future there will be no trace of his presence in this world.
But if he can leave his great achievements in the history books, the world will always remember his name.
These are the motivations that can drive Yang Chen to continue working hard now.
"Haha... What Mayor Wang said is too far away. I have just prepared to do it. I don't know when it will be effective. Many scientific researchers have worked hard in the fields all their lives, but they have not been able to increase the yield. I Maybe it's the same as them,
Huge investment, little gain. "Yang Chen said very humbly.
Mayor Wang quickly said: "I think with your intelligence, Mr. Yang, you will definitely gain a lot. As long as Mr. Yang wants to do something, our municipal government will definitely support it. We can help with land, taxation, loans, etc." I will definitely help you when I get to your place without you having to ask."
What Yang Chen wants is his words, as long as the city government fully supports it.
"Okay, now I need about 10,000 acres of land as a seed breeding base. I hope Mayor Wang can help me solve it." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Mayor Wang was immediately frightened.
Good guy, asking for 10,000 acres of land is too generous.
"Director Yang, are you sure you want 10,000 acres of land?" Mayor Wang asked in disbelief.
Yang Chen nodded very approvingly and said: "Yes, Mayor Wang heard it right, I do want ten thousand acres of land. Because I want to cultivate seeds on a large scale, I will definitely need a lot of experimental bases. Ten thousand acres can be counted. It's small. If it's really in a remote area, I might want more. Land here in Haicheng is precious, so I don't want that much. But 10,000 acres of land is the basic requirement, and we must have this much. So, I hope Wangshi Chief, can you help me get it done?"
Mayor Wang quickly took out a map of Haicheng City and a plan for the next ten years.
He studied the two pictures carefully.
Ten thousand acres of land is not unsatisfactory. There is still a lot of open space in Jiading North District that can be used.
In fact, there are many low-tech factories there, which fall within the scope of Haicheng City's elimination plan in the next five years.
As long as these factories are cleared and a few villages relocated, 10,000 acres of land can still be scraped together.
However, such a large project will definitely cost a lot.
Especially those villages, it is estimated that they will have to pay billions of dollars in compensation to solve the problem.
After Mayor Wang finished his research, he said to Yang Chen: "Director Yang, come and see, what do you think of the area I circled?"
Yang Chen looked at the map and said, "Okay. Jiading North District is relatively open and is indeed suitable for a research base."
Mayor Wang: "However, you have also seen that there are four villages in this area, and more than a dozen factories, large and small. It will definitely cost a lot of money to move these factories and villages. Do you think it is appropriate?"
Once the super seeds can be mass-produced on a large scale, Yang Chen's income will be unpredictable at all.
If he were selfish and patented a super seed, anyone who wanted to grow a super seed would have to pay him royalties.
He can earn hundreds of billions of dollars every year from copyright fees alone.
So, why would he care about demolishing more than a dozen factories and four villages?
As long as they can move out immediately, Yang Chen will definitely not be stingy with the demolition fee.
"No problem, there is no way to demolish without spending money. Right?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
Mayor Wang laughed heartily and said: "Haha... Director Yang sees things clearly. As long as you think there is no problem, Director Yang, we will give our full support."
Yang Chen: "As long as you can give me 10,000 acres of land, I can agree to any reasonable request."
Mayor Wang nodded and asked, "How much money will Director Yang decide to invest?"
In order to give Mayor Wang more confidence, Yang Chen deliberately said: "There is no limit. As long as there is need, I will invest money in it without limit. I can even tell Mayor Wang that if I don't make results, I will I will never give up."
As long as Yang Chen is willing to invest money.
If the research comes out with results, it will of course be a good thing that everyone will be happy with.
If the research results were not produced, Yang Chen would not be able to recoup the huge investment he had made, and the economy would have benefited from it long ago. For the Haicheng City Government, this is a good thing that is sure to make money without losing money.
Therefore, Mayor Wang quickly said happily: "I can hear that Director Yang attaches great importance to this project and is also very confident. As the mayor of Haicheng, all I can do is help you clear all obstacles as much as possible. You just do Just take care of your own business, and I'll take care of the other trivial things."
Yang Chen stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Mayor Wang's hand, and said, "Okay, then we've settled. You can start arranging 10,000 acres of land for me, and I'll prepare the funds when I get back."
Mayor Wang: "Haha...Okay, okay, then I'll take you out, Mr. Yang."
Yang Chen: "No, the foreigner is still waiting for you, so go quickly. I'm leaving. Say goodbye."
After saying that, Yang Chen turned around and left...
