Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

I took Bai Hanchuan back to the office, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "I have an idea..."

Bai Hanchuan looked at me with a frown on his face. "What can we do? Now that all the seeds are gone, how can we compete with those international giants?"

I took a deep breath and lowered my voice and said, "Have you forgotten? We still have 'hope'."

"Hope?" Bai Hanchuan was stunned at first, then he reacted and his eyes gradually brightened, "You mean... those seeds in the space?"

I nodded, took out a wooden box from the drawer, and opened it. There were more than a dozen seeds of different colors neatly arranged inside. These were new varieties that I cultivated in the space, and they had better genes than any other crops on the market.

"These seeds not only have high yields and strong disease resistance, but also..." I paused, "They also have some special effects."

I showed these seeds to Bai Hanchuan one by one and introduced their characteristics and advantages in detail.

Bai Hanchuan became more and more excited as he listened. He held my hand tightly, his tone full of excitement and anticipation: "Jinli, you are such a genius! These seeds are simply miracles!"

"Now is not the time to be happy, we still have a lot of work to do." I put away the wooden box and said seriously, "Time is running out, we must hurry up and cultivate new seedlings so that they can be put on the market next season."

In the following months, Bai Hanchuan and I led the team to work day and night on the cultivation of new varieties. We almost lived in the base, spending every day in the laboratory and greenhouse, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

Hard work pays off. With our efforts, new seedlings have emerged from the soil and are growing vigorously. These new seedlings not only grow well, but also show amazing disease resistance and adaptability.

According to the characteristics of different varieties, we have developed a series of new products with independent intellectual property rights. These new products not only surpass competitors in quality, but also have unique advantages in environmental protection and sustainable development.

"Are you ready?" I looked at the beautifully packaged new product in front of me and turned to ask Bai Hanchuan.

"Of course," he said with confidence in his eyes, "This time, we want to let the whole world see what is real..."

Before he could finish his words, the office door was flung open and a familiar figure appeared at the door, shouting excitedly, "Oh no! Something happened!"

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?" Bai Hanchuan frowned and asked in a serious tone.

The man is an old employee of our base. He is usually steady and calm. What happened today? He gasped and pointed out the window and said, "Boss Bai, Boss Mu, please go to the front and take a look! There are so many people outside, blocking the gate of the base!"

Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, and a bad feeling rose in our hearts. Could it be that our competitors were behind this?

Without time to think, we immediately rushed to the gate of the base. Before we even got there, we heard a burst of noisy sounds coming from outside, the sound of people bustling and clamoring, like a boiling pot.

After finally squeezing to the outside of the crowd, we were all stunned by the scene in front of us. Outside the gate of the base, there were all kinds of vehicles parked, from TV interview cars to luxury cars of corporate bosses. In the crowd, reporters were carrying cameras and holding microphones, scrambling to rush into the base.

"Boss Bai, Boss Mu, can you tell us about the new variety?"

"May I ask how your base was able to develop so many new varieties in such a short period of time?"

"I heard that your base's products have received overseas orders. Is this true?"

The reporters asked questions at once and kept pushing their recorders and microphones towards us.

Before Bai Hanchuan and I could react, we were "surrounded" by this sudden situation.

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet!" The old employee of the base shouted at the top of his voice, "We will hold a new product launch conference today, and we will introduce the new varieties in detail. Please be patient!"

After finally maintaining order, we were able to escape and return to the office.

"It seems that our new variety has caused quite a stir!" Bai Hanchuan looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

I nodded, my heart full of emotion and excitement. For this moment, we have put in so much effort and sweat, and now, it is finally the harvest season.

The new product launch was held as scheduled. We carefully arranged the venue and invited many media and industry experts to attend. At the launch, I introduced the characteristics, advantages and market prospects of the new varieties in detail and displayed samples of the new products on site.

Our new varieties and products caused a huge sensation as soon as they were unveiled. Media reporters took photos and videos and spread the news to thousands of households; industry experts also spoke highly of our innovative achievements and expressed optimism about our development prospects.

After the press conference, orders came in like snowflakes. We were overwhelmed by orders from all over the country and even overseas.

"Jinli, we succeeded!" Bai Hanchuan held my hand excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes.

I smiled and nodded, my heart filled with joy and pride. At this moment, the door of the office was knocked, and the voice of an old employee of the base came from outside the door: "Boss Bai, Boss Mu, someone is looking for you outside..."

His voice suddenly stopped, and Bai Hanchuan and I looked at each other, and a premonition came to my mind. "Please come in." Bai Hanchuan calmed down and said in a deep voice.

The old employee of the base opened the door with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face, "Boss Bai, Boss Mu, it's the leaders of the municipal government and... and..." He seemed to be at a loss for words, his eyes swept over the two of us, and finally took a deep breath, "and the representatives of the multinational company that competed with us before, they want to see you!"

My heart was shocked and I exchanged glances with Bai Hanchuan. It turned out to be true!

We walked out of the office quickly and came to the meeting room. We saw several city government leaders and several foreigners in suits waiting for a long time. What surprised me was that the retired gardening master who had taught me before and the young botanical expert beside him were also among the crowd.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Bai, congratulations! The new variety research and development at your base has achieved such great success, which really brings honor to our city!" Secretary-General Wang of the municipal government stood up first and shook hands with Bai Hanchuan and me enthusiastically.

After the greetings, Secretary-General Wang introduced us to several leaders and experts around him, and conveyed the city government's high attention and support for our base. He said that we will be provided with a series of policy preferences and financial assistance to help us further expand our production scale, build a national brand, and enter the international market.

Then, the foreign representative also stood up and spoke in fluent Chinese, saying sincerely: "Mr. Mu, Mr. Bai Hanchuan, we were blind and underestimated the strength of your base before. The new varieties and products developed by your base have shown us the huge potential of Chinese agriculture. We very much hope to reach cooperation with your base and jointly develop the international market."

I noticed that when he said this, there was no trace of arrogance or contempt in his eyes, only recognition of strength and expectation for cooperation.

We had in-depth exchanges and discussions with government leaders, experts and foreign representatives, and finally reached a series of cooperation intentions. After the meeting, we sent them to the gate of the base.

"Jinli, we succeeded!" Standing in the base square, Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly, his eyes full of excitement and joy.

I looked around and saw happy smiles on the faces of the base employees. Partners from all over the country and even overseas also expressed their congratulations to us.

"Yes, we succeeded." I looked at all this, my heart filled with emotion and relief.

At this time, the retired gardening master who had been silent all this time came to my side, patted my shoulder, and said softly: "Kid, you did a great job! I am very pleased..." He paused, looking into the distance, "Let's go and see my worthless student. He admires you very much!"

I followed his gaze and saw the young botanist being interviewed by a group of reporters. He looked a little shy, but he couldn't hide his excitement. I was about to walk over when I suddenly felt someone gently pull the corner of my clothes...

I turned around and saw Bai Hanchuan looking at me affectionately. His eyes reflected me, the spring scenery in the garden and the happy faces of the people. "What's wrong?" I asked softly. Bai Hanchuan didn't say anything, but just held my hand tighter, and then took me to the young botanist.

"Congratulations, Xiao Xu, you did an excellent job today." I said to the botanical expert with a smile. Xiao Xu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Mu, you are too kind, I just did what I should do. In fact, it is you and the teacher who gave me this precious opportunity..."

"Okay, stop praising each other." The retired gardening master interrupted us with a smile, "Jinli, what are your and Xiaobai's plans for the future?"

I looked at Bai Hanchuan, and he gave me a firm look, "Teacher, we plan to strike while the iron is hot, expand the scale of production, develop more new varieties, and strive to promote our national brand to the world as soon as possible!"

"Good! You have great ambition!" The retired gardening master nodded approvingly. "I may not have any other skills, but I still have some connections in the gardening industry. If you need help, just ask!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Bai Hanchuan and I said in unison.

"Jinli, and me too. Although I lack experience, I will study hard and help you the best I can!" Xiao Xu also said excitedly.

"Okay, okay! Let's work together!" I looked at the enthusiastic faces in front of me, and my heart was filled with strength.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the planting base, coating everything with a layer of golden light. Bai Hanchuan and I stood side by side in the square, looking at the cheering employees and partners, and our hearts were filled with pride and satisfaction.

"We finally..." I was filled with emotion and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Hanchuan.

"Jinli," he turned around and looked at me with burning eyes, "Let's go back, there are more important things to do..."
