Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

A slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Ms. Mu Jinli? I'm from the International Medicinal Plant Certification Center..."

I gripped the phone tightly, my heart racing, trying to stay calm: "Yes, I am, what can I do for you?"

"After strict review by our expert group, your base's honeysuckle, chrysanthemum and other medicinal flower varieties have all passed our center's certification!" The other party's voice could not hide his excitement, "This means that your medicinal flower products have reached the highest international standards and can enter a wider international market!"

I was immediately overjoyed and smiled at Bai Hanchuan excitedly. In the past few years, we have put in countless efforts and finally won the recognition of international authoritative organizations. The base has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities.

"Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? We succeeded!" I couldn't wait to call Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao on the other end of the phone was equally excited: "Great! Jinli, I have good news too! We have reached a long-term cooperation agreement with a large French pharmaceutical company, and they will import a large amount of medicinal flower raw materials from our base!"

"It's a double blessing!" I smiled happily. The sales team led by Lin Xiao has traveled all over the country in recent years and finally successfully opened up overseas markets, creating rich economic benefits for the base.

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan pointed to the distance and saw trucks loaded with medicinal flowers slowly driving out of the base gate and heading into the distance.

I looked at the convoy's backs as it drove away, feeling full of pride and emotion. Our medicinal flower products not only benefit the people at home, but are also exported overseas, winning honor for the country and creating foreign exchange income.

"Jinli, look what that is?" Bai Hanchuan suddenly pointed forward with a hint of surprise in his tone.

I followed his gaze and saw...

I followed his gaze and saw a convoy of cars approaching slowly from a distance. Each car was decorated with flowers and colorful flags, which was particularly eye-catching. After the convoy stopped, a group of people got off the cars. I actually knew the leaders!

"Jinli, congratulations! The base has developed so well, it's really impressive!" The speaker was an energetic old man, who was the mysterious retired gardening master a few years ago and the first technical consultant of our planting base. Under his guidance, our base has made breakthrough progress in soil improvement and flower variety cultivation.

"Yes, Jinli, when you first brought us together, I was a little worried. I didn't expect it to grow so quickly!" said another middle-aged man with a smile. He is a botanical expert and our new ally. He introduced many rare medicinal flower varieties to us and provided professional planting technology guidance.

It turned out that they were all here to attend the World Flower Congress, which would be held in our city. Our planting base was selected as the "Best Planting Base of the Year" by the congress for its outstanding contribution in the field of medicinal flower planting, and would be displayed as an excellent case at the congress.

In the following days, Bai Hanchuan and I attended the World Flower Conference as representatives of the base. At the conference, we shared our planting experience and development ideas with colleagues from all over the world, and received warm welcome and high praise. Looking at the pairs of eyes full of curiosity and praise in the audience, my heart was filled with pride and emotion.

After the conference, orders from all over the world came in like snowflakes, and our planting base ushered in a broader development prospect. And just at this time, I received a call...

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Professor Wang from the Department of Biology at University A. At the beginning, in order to learn more advanced planting techniques, I had consulted him many times. He was also moved by my diligence and persistence, and often gave me guidance without reservation.

"Jinli, congratulations on your base winning the title of 'Best Planting Base of the Year'. It is well-deserved!" Professor Wang's voice was full of joy and appreciation.

"Thank you, Professor Wang, and thank you for your help and guidance all the time." I said sincerely.

"I called you this time to discuss cooperation with you," Professor Wang continued. "Our school is very interested in the achievements of your base in the cultivation of medicinal flowers. We hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you and jointly carry out research on flower cultivation and medicinal value."

When I heard this, I was immediately excited. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Cooperating with universities can not only obtain more advanced technical support, but also cultivate more talents, which is of great significance to the long-term development of the base.

"Professor Wang, we are very willing to cooperate with University A. This has always been our wish!" I agreed without hesitation.

In the following months, our base established long-term cooperative relations with University A, as well as several other universities and research institutions, to jointly carry out research on flower cultivation and medicinal value. Our base provided the venue and experimental materials for the research, while the universities provided technical and talent support. The two sides complemented each other's strengths and the cooperation achieved fruitful results.

We have cultivated many new varieties of medicinal flowers, extracted many natural ingredients with medicinal value, and applied for many national patents. Our research results not only fill the gaps in related fields in China, but also attract wide attention internationally.

A few years later, our planting base has developed into a modern enterprise integrating flower planting, research and development, production and sales, and has become a leading enterprise in the industry. The flower products produced by our base are not only sold well in China, but also exported overseas, winning honor for the country.

Bai Hanchuan and I stood on the observation deck of the planting base, looking into the distance, our hearts full of expectations for the future. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, making our figures look particularly slender.

"Hanchuan, do you remember when we first started our business? At that time, we had nothing but passion and vision for the future." I said with emotion.

"Yes, at that time, we encountered many difficulties and were confused, but we persisted." Bai Hanchuan held my hand and said affectionately, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a better future!"

I nodded, my heart filled with happiness and determination. I know that the development road of the planting base is still long, but we are confident to meet every challenge in the future and create a more brilliant tomorrow!
