Chapter 685: Eradication of Wheat Fields, Triggering Crisis of Public Opinion

Yang Chen signed various agreements with the Haicheng City Government and ordered the bank to transfer funds to the municipal government's special fund account.

Today is New Year's Eve, and Yang Chen doesn't want the workers to be tired.

Everyone has been busy all year long, let them have a good year in peace.

However, Yang Chen has notified Zhang Hu, asking him to start demolishing the 12 factories and 4 natural villages no later than the third day of the new year.

Now that we are in February, we need to plant the seeds in March.

In addition to demolishing buildings, trees, crops, etc. within the 10,000 acres of land must be demolished.

Calculating the time, there is only one month left.

Time is very tight to build a planting base in such a large area.

After the new year, workers will have to work overtime to have the base ready for Yang Chen's normal use before March.

Zhang Hu knew that Yang Chen had spent more than 20 billion on this base.

If the progress of the project is affected because of his inadequate work, Yang Chen will definitely deal with him seriously.

Therefore, while others were having New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Hu was calling the heads of each department one by one to tell them that they must return to the company by the third day of the new year at the latest.

If you live out of town, you must come back before the fifth day of the new year, otherwise you will be demoted and your salary will be reduced. If serious consequences occur, you will be removed from your job or even fired.

It's so hard to find a job nowadays, especially a management job. As long as you don't have to do it, no one is willing to lose their job.

Therefore, everyone quickly arranges their return plan.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all walks of life resumed production order.

Zhang Hu also arranged for workers to remove debris within the 10,000 acres of land, including growing crops.

Soon, someone posted a video of workers uprooting crops online.

"Look, everyone, this wheat will be harvested in three months. Thousands of acres of wheat were just shoveled by them. Isn't this illegal?"

One stone stirs up thousands of waves. The most indispensable thing on the Internet is "kind-hearted" people.

Soon such videos were spread all over the Internet, and angry netizens came to leave messages to criticize Yang Chen.

"Is this Yang Chen's ideological consciousness? The wheat will be harvested soon, can't we wait a little longer? He wants to plant something, he can't wait."

"I'm really angry. The crops that the farmers worked so hard to plant will be harvested in three months, but they were just shoveled away."

"Originally I admired Yang Chen's courage and financial resources, but now I think he is just an unscrupulous capitalist."

"Does this count as destroying cultivated land? Doesn't the law care about it? Let him do such a thing?"

…

There was a huge uproar on the Internet, and soon the Haicheng City government was alarmed.

Mayor Wang had just returned to work. After hearing the secretary's report, he quickly called Yang Chen.

At this time, Yang Chen was attending his cousin's wedding.

Mayor Wang called, and he had to find a place where no one was around to answer the call.

"Hey, Director Yang, are you busy?" Mayor Wang asked hurriedly.

Listening to his tone, Yang Chen knew that it was about the Internet.

"It's okay. My cousin is getting married, so I don't need to be busy. Mayor Wang called me in such a hurry, is it because of the public opinion on the Internet?" Yang Chen said with a smile.

Mayor Wang: "Oh, my Mr. Yang, you know. Look at the commotion online, and everyone is scolding us. Are you not worried at all?"

Yang Chen: "Why are you anxious? There's no point in being anxious. It's all been shoveled away, so we can't take it back again."

Mayor Wang was speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Mayor Wang said with a smile: "Director Yang, I'm not talking about you. I also think you are a little too anxious. What on earth are you going to plant that makes you so anxious."

Yang Chen: "Okay, let me reveal some information to Mayor Wang. I got some seeds from a foreign friend. According to him, this kind of seeds can shorten the production cycle by half, and also allow crops to grow in a safer place." Good, the taste is better. I thought that if it was true as he said, let alone thousands of acres of wheat, even tens of thousands of acres of wheat would have to be plowed out for experiments. Cut the production cycle in half, Wang Shi Do you know what it means?"

Mayor Wang was shocked and said: "Cut the production cycle in half? That can solve our food problem. What kind of seeds are there?"

Yang Chen: "Wheat, rice, lettuce, celery, and beans. I have only bought these five kinds for the time being. Try the effect first. If it is true as he said, I will spend a lot of money to dig him over and let him study other crops. The seeds. Does Mayor Wang now think it’s a pity to have thousands of acres of wheat?”

Mayor Wang immediately laughed heartily and replied: "It's not a pity, it's not a pity, it's not a pity at all. I just said that if Director Yang contracted a 10,000-acre base with such a big deal, he would definitely have to do something big. I didn't expect that, you What I have to do is more powerful than I imagined. I know what I'm doing, and I'll ask someone to make an announcement to explain it. Just follow your own plan, and I'll stop you from doing anything else."

Yang Chen: "Haha... Then I'll thank Mayor Wang first. However, this matter must still be kept secret before I officially announce it."

Mayor Wang: "Haha... don't worry, I understand. Then I won't disturb Director Yang and hang up first. If you need anything, call me at any time. Haha..."

Once this 10,000-acre seed breeding center actually cultivates seeds that can shorten the growth cycle by half, Haicheng will become the most watched city in the world.

Forget about trivial things like GDP growth, Haicheng's status in the world will suddenly increase.

With such achievements, wouldn’t it be easy to get promoted in the future?

In the afternoon, the relevant agricultural departments of Haicheng City issued an announcement.

To put it simply, when these lands were being demolished, Yang Chen's side had already paid for the young crop fee and so on.

What to do with the wheat is Yang Chen's freedom and no one can interfere with it.

Although it is a pity to eradicate this wheat, Yang Chen's side will use these lands to create higher value to make up for the loss of this wheat.

Therefore, please do not over-interpret the act of eradicating wheat fields and wait patiently for Yang Chen to show you the results.

Anyone who often plays online knows that there is no shortage of virgin bitches on the Internet.

Although this announcement has been made very clear, many people still hold on to it.

They should be scolded, but they couldn't listen to the reason at all.

Seeing the denunciation of Yang Chen on the Internet, Wang Xing felt that he could make good use of this opportunity to create some trouble for Yang Chen.

Even if you can't stop Yang Chen from building a base, you still have to try your best to slow him down.

So Wang Xing contacted Chen Yong.

Wang Xing: "Mr. Chen, you must have seen the public opinion on the Internet. Many people still refuse to forgive Yang Chen's behavior. I think we can make good use of it. Even if we cannot stop Yang Chen's progress, we must try to delay his time. "

Chen Yong: "It makes sense. What good idea does Mr. Wang have?"

Wang Xing: "I'll contact Penguin Technology, and you contact Ali Group. As long as both groups intend to increase the popularity of Yang Chen shoveling wheat fields, it will inevitably bring pressure to all parties. With the control of the bosses behind our two companies, Considering the number of media outlets, it’s not impossible to stop Yang Chen’s project. What do you think?”

Chen Yong: "It makes sense. Then just follow what Mr. Wang said. Our two families have invested so much money and we cannot let him fail. It is completely reasonable to use necessary means when necessary."

The two agreed to immediately contact the big boss behind it.
