Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Hello, Director Wang." I hurried forward and forced a smile on my face, "I am the person in charge of this project, Mu Jinli."

Director Wang looked me up and down and asked in a serious tone, "Comrade Mu, I heard that your project has encountered some difficulties?"

My heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the impact of this rainstorm was greater than I thought. The news had already reached the government. I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, Director Wang, this rainstorm has caused us some losses, but we will do everything we can to overcome the difficulties and ensure that the project is completed on time."

Director Wang nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Comrade Mu, we all know the importance of your project to the local economic development. The municipal government will definitely strongly support you. I have already contacted the Municipal Agricultural Bank, and they will provide you with a low-interest loan to help you tide over the difficulties."

I was overjoyed when I heard this and said excitedly: "Thank you, Director Wang! Thank you, Municipal Government!" With this loan, we can solve our urgent problems and continue with project construction.

At this time, a young man in a suit and tie beside Director Wang came up to me, extended his hand, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Mu, I am Manager Li from the Municipal Agricultural Bank. Our bank is very optimistic about your project and is willing to provide you with long-term financial support."

I quickly shook his hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Manager Li! Your support is so important to us."

Manager Li smiled and continued, "However, the prerequisite for financial support is that you need to provide us with a detailed profit plan so that we can see the feasibility and profitability of this project."

I agreed without hesitation: "No problem, Manager Li, we will definitely come up with a solution that will satisfy you as soon as possible!"

After seeing off Director Wang and Manager Li, I immediately gathered the team members and worked out a detailed profit plan overnight.

"I think we can develop deep processing of agricultural products and increase the added value of agricultural products..."

“Ecological tourism is also a good direction…”

I looked out the window at the dark night sky, took a deep breath, and said: ...

"I think we can develop deep processing of agricultural products and increase the added value of agricultural products..." Accountant Zhang was the first to propose. He adjusted his glasses, with wisdom shining in his eyes.

"Ecological tourism is also a good direction..." Young Li also spoke actively. He described with great anticipation the future scene of the base being crowded with tourists.

I looked out the window at the dark night sky, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone's suggestions are very good. We should make full use of the natural resources here to build a modern agricultural base integrating planting, processing and tourism."

I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, who had been sitting in the corner, frowning, as if thinking about something. I asked softly, "Hanchuan, do you have any ideas?"

He raised his head, a gleam in his eyes: "I have been thinking about the geological structure problem. If we can't solve this problem, our project will always have hidden dangers."

His words reminded me, and my heart sank. At this moment, the retired gardening master who had been listening silently stood up and said slowly: "I have found a solution to the geological problem."

I looked at him in surprise, and he took out a blueprint from his bag and pointed at it, saying, "I have found several plants that are suitable for growing here. Their root systems can effectively stabilize the soil and prevent soil erosion."

I took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. At this time, a strange middle-aged man came in and introduced himself as an expert in botany. After hearing about our project, he came to help.

He pointed to a plant on the drawing and said: "This plant has a very developed root system and a strong ability to absorb water, which can effectively prevent soil erosion."

I excitedly held his hand and said, "Great! With your help, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties!"

Outside the window, the sky in the east was already turning pale, and a new day had begun. I looked at the rising sun outside the window, and my heart was filled with hope. I knew that our project would succeed because we had the best team, the most firm belief, and...

I suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Bai Hanchuan. He was standing by the window, looking into the distance with a meaningful smile on his face... The dawn light was like gold, shining on the vast fields. The fruits and vegetables in the base were shining with crystal dew in the morning light. Everything was full of vitality. Since the botany expert joined us, our project has progressed more smoothly. He not only brought advanced technology, but also introduced more talents, and the scale of the base has grown day by day.

I stood on the ridge of the field, watching the busy figures of the workers, with a gratified smile on my face. "Jinli, look." Bai Hanchuan's voice came from behind me, and he handed me a newspaper, "Our planting base has been reported."

I took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page read "The Miracle of Modern Agriculture", with a picture of our base in full view. The article detailed the development history, business philosophy and achievements of the base, and the words were full of praise.

"It seems like we're really going to be famous." I said with a smile, feeling a sense of pride in my heart.

As the project progresses, the popularity of the planting base continues to increase, attracting more tourists and investors. Every day, there is an endless stream of people coming to visit, inspect and seek cooperation.

"Mr. Mu, our company is very interested in the project at your base and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." A man in a suit and tie enthusiastically handed over his business card.

"Mr. Mu, our bank can provide your base with low-interest loans to support its development." Another middle-aged lady also expressed her intention to cooperate.

I received these guests from all over the world one by one, and my heart was full of hope. I knew that our project was on the right track and the future was bright.

However, just when I was immersed in joy, Bai Hanchuan brought me some disturbing news. "I just got the news that a large-scale comprehensive agricultural park is being built in the south of the city. The scale of the project is comparable to ours, and it is expected to be put into operation next year." He said solemnly.

"What?!" I was shocked, and a bad premonition came over me. "Who is their leader? What is the background behind them?"

Bai Hanchuan shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but as far as I know, there is strong capital support behind this project."

I immediately felt a surge of pressure. The emergence of competitors meant that we were no longer the only choice, our market share would be divided, and our previous efforts might go to waste.

"What should we do?" I looked at Bai Hanchuan, hoping to get an answer from him.

He pondered for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "It seems that we have to adjust the plan..." He paused, "Call everyone for a meeting tomorrow morning." Bai Hanchuan's words cast a shadow over my heart. The project in the south of the city is like a time bomb, and I don't know when it will explode and blow up all our efforts.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" I clutched the newspaper tightly, my knuckles turning white, and I felt unwilling.

"Of course not." Bai Hanchuan held my shoulder with a firm look in his eyes, "We must take the initiative and seize the initiative!"

He pulled me to the table and spread out a map with the geographical locations of our base and the south city project clearly marked on it.

"Look," he said, pointing to the map, "although their project is large-scale, our base has a more advantageous geographical location, more convenient transportation, and..." He paused, "our product quality is more guaranteed."

I understand what he means. In pursuit of speed, the Chengnan project may sacrifice product quality, but we have always adhered to the concept of green and pollution-free planting, which is our advantage.

"What you mean is..." I looked at him, and a vague idea came to my mind.

"We can open some parks in advance to attract tourists to come and experience picking fruits and build word of mouth." Bai Hanchuan expressed my thoughts, "At the same time, we can increase publicity efforts to let more people know about our brand."

I nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.

"Okay, let's do it!" I took a deep breath, and the haze in my heart was swept away, replaced by the high morale before the decisive battle.

"Call everyone to a meeting tomorrow morning!" I shouted outside the door.
