Chapter 156 Olive Branch
Li Mu frowned: "What should we do? Brother Gao is waiting for our reply."
Tian Xiaohu also became anxious: "That's right, Brother Mu, what should we do now?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush, let's go find Brother Gao first, explain the situation to him, and see if he has any ideas."
The two hurried to Brother Gao's house. Brother Gao noticed their strange expressions and guessed what was going on.
"What's wrong? Mu Zi, Xiao Hu, why do you two look like that?"
Li Mu sighed and recounted the whole story to Brother Gao.
Brother Gao frowned upon hearing this: "This is not a good situation. Vice Mayor Zhao values this project very much. If we mess it up, it will be difficult to explain."
"Brother Gao, can you tell me what this new technology is? Is there anyone in our village who understands it?"
Brother Gao sighed: "This new technology is about intelligent temperature control and irrigation systems. It requires some electronic devices to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and so on, and then adjusts irrigation and temperature based on the data. There aren't many people in our village who understand this."
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohu felt even more uncertain: "What should we do? Nobody in our village knows how to do this. Does this mean the project is doomed to fail?"
Li Mu's eyes darted around. This technology sounded somewhat similar to the greenhouse that Old Wang Yuan had built, but that was only on a small scale. He had never seen such a large-scale intelligent temperature control and irrigation system before.
“Brother Gao, don’t worry too much. I’m going to deliver eggs to Zhao Fuchang tomorrow. I’ll ask him if he can introduce us to someone who knows about this business, or if there’s anywhere we can learn this skill.”
"After all, this is a good thing. If our village can get this going, it will benefit everyone. What do you think?"
Brother Gao nodded: "That's the only way. Mu Zi, you have to talk to Vice Mayor Zhao and ask him to think of a solution for us. Our village can be a pilot village."
Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Brother Gao, don't worry, I will do my best. The affairs of our village are my affairs, and I can't watch them fall apart."
The two discussed it for a while. There were very few people in the village who knew this technology. Even Old Wang and Grandpa Zhang couldn't figure it out. What should they do?
After thinking it over, Li Mu felt that he still needed to understand what this technology was all about first.
I went to the Sunshine Community to find the security guard the next day.
"Brother, is Vice Mayor Zhao home this morning? I have something I'd like to discuss with him."
The security guard nodded: "He's here. Vice Mayor Zhao doesn't have any plans today, he should be at home. You can go in, he's in apartment 301, unit 1, building 2."
Li Mu thanked him and walked towards Vice Mayor Zhao's house.
After ringing the doorbell, Vice Mayor Zhao opened the door shortly afterward.
"Hey, Xiao Li, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
"Vice Mayor Zhao, here are thirty eggs as you requested. How does that sound?"
As Li Mu spoke, he handed the eggs to Vice Mayor Zhao.
Vice Mayor Zhao took the eggs and said with a smile, "Little Li, these eggs are really good. I always think they taste great. You didn't just come to deliver eggs this time, did you?"
Li Mu smiled憨厚ly: "Vice Mayor Zhao, you have a keen eye. Actually, I came here today to ask you about that new agricultural planting technology project."
Upon hearing this, Vice Mayor Zhao's expression turned serious: "Come in first, standing at the door isn't going to do anything. Let's go inside and talk."
Li Mu followed Vice Mayor Zhao into the house, where Vice Mayor Zhao poured him a glass of water, and the two sat on the sofa and started chatting.
Vice Mayor Zhao asked, "Xiao Li, are you interested in this new agricultural planting technology project?"
Li Mu nodded: "Yes, Vice Mayor Zhao, I think this is a good thing. If our village can get this going, it will benefit everyone. However, I've encountered a problem and would like to ask you for guidance."
"What's the problem? Tell me."
"Here's the thing, Vice Mayor Zhao, nobody around here understands this intelligent temperature control and irrigation system. Old Wang and Grandpa Zhang in our village are both too old to learn those new things, and they can't afford the equipment, so they can't handle this project. Brother Gao also asked me to ask you if you could introduce us to someone who understands this field, or if there's anywhere we can learn this technology."
“This can’t be rushed. It’s a new project being researched by experts from the province, and it’s still in the experimental stage. But I can help you make some connections and see if we can get them to come to our village to provide some guidance. As for the equipment, you don’t need to worry about that. If the project is successfully implemented, the government will provide some funding and technical support.”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Li Mu's eyes: "Really? Vice Mayor Zhao, that's wonderful! If we could have experts to guide us, we would have much more confidence."
Vice Mayor Zhao smiled and said, "Besides that, I have another question for you. I heard from Brother Gao that you've started growing rice and green-shelled chickens, and your business is booming. Is that true?"
Li Mu smiled sheepishly: "Vice Mayor Zhao, please don't tease me. It is indeed better than before, and this is all thanks to your help."
Vice Mayor Zhao waved his hand: "Oh, this isn't my achievement, it's all thanks to your hard work. The municipal canteen is planning to purchase a batch of agricultural products recently, and you were the first person I thought of. Your eggs and rice are of very good quality, I trust them completely. I'd like to sign a long-term cooperation contract with you this time, what do you think?"
Partnering with the municipal canteen is a highly valuable opportunity. The municipal canteen makes substantial purchases, and once the partnership is established, its reputation and credibility will improve. For Li Mu, this is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity.
Li Mu felt a surge of excitement. He hadn't expected Vice Mayor Zhao to take the initiative to propose such a cooperation. This was undoubtedly great news for him.
He quickly said, "Vice Mayor Zhao, you're really too kind to me. My eggs and rice are all grown with care, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. I would be more than happy to cooperate with the municipal canteen."
"Hahahaha! Brother Gao is right, you're young, bold, and have ideas. I think so too. Okay, then it's settled. Later, I'll have my secretary contact you. Send over some samples of your rice, eggs, and some mountain products. I'll have someone test them, and if there are no problems, we'll sign the contract."
Li Mu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Vice Mayor Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely prepare the samples and wait for you to send someone to pick them up at any time."
After chatting for a while longer, Li Mu took his leave and left Vice Mayor Zhao's house.
Stepping out of the residential compound, Li Mu felt much more at ease.
