Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"You are the country's foreign exchange earner, Comrade Lin Kaifeng, general manager of Northern Machinery Company?!"

After listening to Lu Dayong's introduction of Lin Kaifeng's identity, Professor Fang felt dizzy.

I never dreamed that I would meet the country's top foreign exchange earner in the countryside.

What he didn't expect was that the person who really wanted to meet him was neither the local commune nor the production brigade.

It was Lin Kaifeng, the general manager of Northern Machinery Company...

Lin Kaifeng said apologetically: "Professor Fang, please forgive me. I should have gone to Beijing to meet you in person and discuss cooperation with you in person. Unfortunately, there are too many things to do in the company, and every aspect cannot be separated from my arrangements."

"I have no choice but to ask the commune to help me get in touch with you."

"It's great that you're here. Let's talk about cooperation."

Lin Kaifeng was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

People always say that Lin Kaifeng can turn decay into magic and make the impossible possible.

The person who can truly create miracles is Professor Fang in front of us.

"Cooperation? What cooperation?"

Professor Fang said blankly.

Lin Kaifeng calmed down his excitement and said, "Of course it's agricultural cooperation."

"I hope to work with the Agricultural Research Institute, especially you, Professor Fang, as we are all brother units, to study food technology that can comprehensively solve the problem of food."

In the future, Professor Fang will become the benefactor of countless Chinese people.

Without him, domestic grain production will become a major problem plaguing economic development.

Facing his idol, Lin Kaifeng had no reservations.

He quickly repeated the content of the cooperation.

The Northern Machinery Company provided funding to support the Agricultural Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences to form a cooperatively built unit.

Lin Kaifeng will provide sufficient funding for all of Professor Fang's research.

The annual funding amount shall not be less than 10 million.

If Professor Fang's research requires more financial assistance, Lin Kaifeng will provide it as soon as possible.

Northern Machinery is responsible for turning research results into commercial products.

Half of the profits will be fed back to the Academy of Sciences' Institute of Agriculture.

Further enhance Professor Fang’s scientific research capabilities.

There is a vast expanse of black soil in the north. Lin Kaifeng proposed that Professor Fang be responsible for overall planning and assign some scientific researchers to make this place a new experimental area.

The machinery company is responsible for coordinating and supplying money, land, and various scientific research equipment, and strives to solve the food problem that has plagued Longguo in the shortest possible time so that everyone can have enough to eat.

Regarding the issue of meat supply, Lin Kaifeng has worked together with the animal husbandry department and has achieved certain results.

The scale of the brigade's pig farm is getting bigger and bigger.

The economic benefits brought by Landrace pigs are gradually affecting other communes and production brigades from here.

It's time to put an end to the food problems.

Hearing that Lin Kaifeng was willing to provide a large amount of funds to assist the Agricultural Research Institute in conducting technical research on increasing grain production, Professor Fang immediately became excited and said in a hurried voice: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, there is no problem with the cooperation between the Institute and your company. When will the funds you provide be in place?"

In the 1970s, all units across the country were short of money.

The Institute of Agriculture at the Academy of Sciences where Professor Fang works is no exception.

Professor Fang, who is persistent in his research on grain production technology, lacks not scientific researchers and equipment, but funds to continue his research.

Lin Kaifeng said without thinking: "Any time."

Professor Fang smiled happily after hearing these short sentences.

No matter what the reason is for Northern Machinery Company to cooperate with the Agricultural Research Institute, the support and funding they provide are great things for the Agricultural Research Institute and the people of the country.

Ten million research funds per year is enough to help the Agricultural Research Institute solve the various problems that plague them.

The staff's salaries and bonuses are guaranteed, and everyone's research motivation will reach a new threshold.

At the same time, Lin Kaifeng made a promise in person.

If Professor Fang's project funding exceeds the budget during the research process, Northern Machinery Company will continue to add research funds depending on the situation.

Professor Fang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and Lin Kaifeng laughed along with him.

"Professor Fang is an expert in solving food problems. The primary problem facing our country is food production."

Lin Kaifeng said with emotion: "If rice technology and other related agricultural technologies can be implemented as soon as possible, the people will have enough food and drink, and our country will have the greatest energy to develop the economy and improve its global competitiveness."

Professor Fang nodded heavily and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you are absolutely right. Having enough food is the core of all development."

"I will contact the Academy of Sciences right away and try to sign the relevant agreement within the next two days."

"Don't worry, as long as the funds are in place, other problems will not be a problem."

"Thank you, Professor Fang!"

Lin Kaifeng knows better than anyone else the problems Professor Fang encounters in his various agricultural science research projects.

The difficulty is far beyond the imagination of people in later generations.

The working environment is terrible and the amount of funds available is very limited.

In order to save money, Professor Fang often takes scientific researchers to the front line to participate in production trials.

Two days later, a group of leaders sent by the Academy of Sciences signed a package of agricultural cooperation agreements with the Northern Machinery Company represented by Lin Kaifeng.

The content of the cooperation is not complicated.

The machinery company provides financial support, and once the research results are produced, Northern Machinery Company is responsible for turning them into commodities.

The profits from commercial exports are divided equally between the two companies.

No matter from which point of view we analyze it, Lin Kaifeng's proposal of cooperating with workers and peasants will only benefit the institute and will not have any impact on it.

It is a great thing with only benefits and no harm.

As a Shennong of his generation and the benefactor who fed billions of people, Lin Kaifeng did not think it was excessive no matter how much help he provided.

Not to mention investing 10 million yuan a year, even if it was 20 million or 30 million yuan, Lin Kaifeng would not hesitate.

The reason why a plan of allocating 10 million yuan in research funds each year was set at the beginning of the cooperation was mainly to shut some people up.

All scientific research departments are short of money.

Northern Machinery Company has invested a large amount of money in the Agricultural Research Institute. Other scientific research units, or some guys with pink eye, may very well take the opportunity to make a big fuss.

Attacking Lin Kaifeng without distinguishing between the primary and the secondary.

Investing in scientific research should be invested in more important areas.

For example, industry, electronics industry, rather than agricultural development.

Industrial technology and electronic technology do require a lot of financial support.

With financial support, all developments can remain technologically advanced.

But don't forget.

Agriculture is everything.

How can economic development be achieved when people are hungry?

Several major grain traders made huge profits in countries around the world by manipulating grain prices.

When food falls into their hands, it is not only a commodity but also a weapon of attack.

A powerful weapon that can directly strike a country's economy!
