Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

As night fell and the breeze blew, Bai Hanchuan and I stood side by side on the observation deck of the planting base, overlooking the brilliant lights in front of us. Rows of greenhouses were neatly arranged, filled with various rare flowers, exuding charming fragrance, and twinkling stars in the night.

"We succeeded." I said softly, my tone full of emotion. Looking back, from the initial reclamation of wasteland to the current fragrant sea of ​​flowers, every step is soaked with the hard work of Bai Hanchuan and me.

"This is just the beginning." Bai Hanchuan held me in his arms, his eyes deep and firm, "Jinli, next, we still have a lot to do..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Mu, the R&D team has made a new breakthrough..." Professor Li, the head of the R&D team, ran towards us excitedly with several bottles of beautifully packaged products in his hands.

"What's the good news that makes Professor Li so happy?" I asked with a smile.

"We succeeded! We succeeded!" Professor Li was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "We used the roses, honeysuckle and other medicinal flowers grown in the base to successfully develop a series of health teas and beauty masks. The products have undergone rigorous testing and the results are very good!"

I took the product from Professor Li and looked at it carefully. The packaging was exquisite, the materials were sophisticated, and every detail reflected the R&D team's dedication.

"That's great!" I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, my eyes sparkling with excitement, "Our previous plan to use flowers as raw materials to develop deep-processed products has finally come true!"

Bai Hanchuan nodded in appreciation, "Professor Li, you have worked hard! Next, we must increase our investment in research and development and strive to develop more and better products!"

Professor Li assured confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, we will definitely keep up the good work!"

The breakthrough of the R&D team has injected new vitality into the planting base. Lin Xiao's sales team has also received good news. They have reached cooperation with many e-commerce platforms, and the online sales of their products have been rising steadily.

"Jinli, you're amazing!" Lin Xiao said excitedly, holding the latest sales report. "Our product has become a hit in less than a month since it was launched! We have a large number of orders every day, and the production department is almost overwhelmed!"

I took the report with a smile, and looking at the pleasing numbers on it, my heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"It seems that we have to plan ahead and make preparations in advance..." I put down the report, looked out the window at the brightly lit base, and said slowly. Bai Hanchuan walked to my side, gently held my hand, his eyes firm and deep...

"You're right. We have to put the processing plant on the agenda." Bai Hanchuan's deep eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness. "The current production scale is far from keeping up with market demand. We must expand the production line as soon as possible."

I nodded in agreement. "Well, I will contact the construction company tomorrow and ask them to come up with a design plan for the factory as soon as possible."

"There's no rush for this. I have a better idea..." Bai Hanchuan smiled mysteriously, pulled me to the table, and spread out a map. "Look here, less than 20 kilometers away from our base, there is an idle industrial park with convenient transportation and sufficient water and electricity supply. It's very suitable for us to build a factory."

I looked at him in surprise, "How do you know this place?"

Bai Hanchuan smiled slightly and said, "I forgot to tell you that I have invested in the development company of this industrial park before, so I am quite familiar with the situation here."

I suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing, "You really are a hidden talent!"

Bai Hanchuan scratched my nose lovingly and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's go for a field investigation tomorrow."

The next morning, we drove to the industrial park. Just as Bai Hanchuan said, the environment here is beautiful and the facilities are complete. It is indeed an ideal place to build a factory. We found the park management office and learned about the relevant policies and procedures in detail. Everything went smoothly.

"It seems that we will soon have a modern flower processing factory of our own," I said excitedly.

"That's right." Bai Hanchuan nodded, "However, if we want to produce high-quality products, advanced equipment alone is not enough, we also need professional technical guidance."

"Don't worry about that." I smiled mysteriously, "I have contacted our mysterious ally and new ally. They are all experts in this area and will definitely provide us with the most professional help."

A few days later, the mysterious ally, the retired gardening master, and the new ally, a botanical expert, came to the planting base. They spoke highly of the development of the base and put forward many valuable suggestions on the deep processing technology of flowers.

"Jinli, your roses are of excellent variety and have a strong fragrance, making them very suitable for extracting essential oils." The mysterious ally pointed to the roses blooming in the greenhouse and said, "I can teach you some traditional essential oil extraction methods to ensure that the fragrance and nutrients of the flowers are retained to the greatest extent possible."

"I'm researching a new type of plant extraction technology." The new ally took over the conversation, "It can extract the active ingredients in flowers and apply them to the research and development of health products and cosmetics."

I was so excited. "That's great! With your help, I believe our products will be taken to a higher level!"

However, just when we were confidently preparing to do a great job, something unexpected happened...

"What did you say? Our products were found to contain banned ingredients?!" I stood up suddenly and looked at the quality inspection report in front of me in disbelief...

"Impossible!" I snatched the quality inspection report, which clearly stated "Residues of banned pesticides were detected in the product." How could this be? We have always been planting strictly in accordance with green and pollution-free standards, how could there be pesticide residues? !

"Jinli, don't be anxious. Let's check it out first." Bai Hanchuan held my hand calmly, motioning me to stay calm.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. Yes, now is not the time to panic. The most urgent thing is to find out where the problem lies.

We immediately launched a comprehensive investigation, carefully checking every link from the planting source to the production and processing, but did not find any traces of the use of banned pesticides.

"Is someone deliberately framing us?" Lin Xiao said angrily, "Someone must be jealous of our business, so they resorted to such despicable means!"

My heart skipped a beat. Lin Xiao's words made sense. The flower products in our base have always been in short supply, and the price is much higher than the market price. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be jealous people who will interfere.

"It's too early to draw conclusions now. Let's not panic." Bai Hanchuan analyzed calmly, "The most urgent task is to find solid evidence to prove our innocence."

"But where should we start?" I asked anxiously.

Bai Hanchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Jinli, do you remember those botanical experts we contacted before? Maybe they can help us."

My eyes lit up. Yes! How could I have forgotten them? Those experts are all authorities in the industry and have done in-depth research on plants. Maybe they can find a breakthrough.

We immediately contacted those experts and sent samples of the product for testing. After careful analysis and comparison by the experts, it was finally determined that the banned ingredients detected in the product did not come from pesticide residues, but from a wild plant called "purple spot vine". The pollen of this plant contains a substance similar to the banned pesticide ingredients. If the flowers are contaminated with this pollen during their growth, the test results will be positive.

The truth is out! We finally feel relieved.

In order to completely eliminate hidden dangers, we invited experts to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the planting base and the surrounding environment, and completely eliminated all sources that may cause pollution.

Although this incident has caused us considerable losses, it has also made us realize that if we want to be invincible in the market competition, it is not enough to rely solely on traditional planting experience. We must strengthen cooperation with scientific research institutions and continuously improve the technological content of our products.

We began to actively cooperate with a number of scientific research institutions to carry out in-depth research on the medicinal value of flowers, and introduced a number of advanced testing equipment to ensure the quality and safety of products from the source.

With the joint efforts of all, the planting base quickly got out of the predicament and ushered in a more vigorous development. Our newly built flower processing plant was also successfully completed, and various high-quality essential oils, flower teas, health products and other products were successively launched into the market, winning the favor of consumers.

"Congratulations, Jinli, you succeeded!" At the opening ceremony, Bai Hanchuan looked at me affectionately, his eyes full of pride and pride.

I looked at the bustling scene in front of me, and my heart was filled with emotion. Yes, we have finally come to this point.

However, just as I was immersed in joy, Lin Xiao suddenly ran up to me in a panic and said in a low voice: "Jinli, it's bad, something happened..."
