I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 146
The visitors were two men, one tall and one fat. The fat one who spoke was obviously a foreigner, and his words had a bit of a rough taste, a proper Northeastern man.

Although the tall man was wearing ordinary clothes, he was wearing a small black hat of the Uighur people. Matching his appearance, you could tell he was a Uighur at a glance.

Seeing that Chen Mu was silent, the tall man couldn't help but speak: "Yes, tell me, where are these garbages?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all, and said: "Everywhere is rubbish!"

Then, Chen Mu scolded these saplings and grasses from various aspects such as roots, vitality, branches, height, girth and density.

The two people opposite him looked at each other. They originally thought they were just joking, but they didn't expect that their words were very meaningful.

Among them, he knows more about some related topics about which saplings are more suitable for which soil than the two of them.

But after thinking about the place they were in, they felt relieved.

The tall man smiled: "Are you the new assistant?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

"Not an assistant? Then you are the new sand control person?"

Chen Mu continued to shake his head.

The tall man was puzzled: "Then what do you do?"

Chen Mu explained: "I came to see my dad because one of his team members was sick and couldn't work, so I came over to help."

The fat man was happy: "Has the post reached the forest?"

Chen Mu chuckled: "I just want to see how bad this seedling is. The survival rate is less than 70%, and I have to replant it every three to five times."

There are requirements for the number and spacing of windbreaks planted.

If there are too few trees, the spacing is too sparse, and the wind passes through the gaps, it will not be able to prevent wind.

However, if there are too many saplings and the spacing is too close, there will be problems such as insufficient nutrients, tree roots fighting, and soil hardening.

Therefore, when building windbreaks, intersecting multi-line construction is generally used.

Once the saplings in a certain location die, they must be returned to replant.

This matter is troublesome, laborious and difficult to do.

If the survival rate of the saplings is high and there is no need for unnecessary fertilization and replanting, increasing soil effort and other operations, then the progress of construction and planting will naturally be faster, and there is no need to worry about the progress.

However, if the survival rate of the saplings is low, it is necessary not only to fertilize to increase soil fertility, but also to check whether the saplings are alive from time to time, and then replant. Naturally, the progress of tree planting will be much slower.

Therefore, what tree planters fear most is encountering saplings with poor quality and low survival rate.

Listening to Chen Mu's words, the two people next to them looked at each other again and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, an old man not far from them came over.

He had heavy Sichuan lines on his brows, sharp eyes, and tight mouth. It was obvious at a glance that he had a particularly bad temper.

"What are you doing? Where are the samples collected?" the old man said sharply to the fat man and the tall man.

Then he turned to Chen Mu and said gently: "What you just said is very good. Which school are you from? Are you currently engaged in forestry-related majors? Or are you engaged in something else?"

Although his words were gentle, his eyes were still sharp, as if he wanted to see through all Chen Mu's little thoughts.

Chen Mu moved slightly unnaturally. Looking at the two figures who didn't dare to say a word and turned around to take samples, he smiled, pointed at the ground and saplings and said, "Yes, I am from Sichuan Agricultural University. The school manager is also the boss of Sanmu Forestry, one of the forestry companies participating in the bidding this time.

I came here just to take advantage of this opportunity to check out the environment here and get a feel for it. "

"Tendering? Sanmu Forestry?" There was a trace of doubt on the serious old man's face, but he quickly reacted and suddenly showed surprise. He asked again and again: "You are the one who runs Sanmu Forestry, which has developed a new variety of bluegrass?"

Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, we just brought it to participate in the bidding, and hope to win the bid."

The serious old man thought for a while and said: "Take the mature grass to participate in the bidding? Hmm... To be honest, if Sanmu Forestry wants to win the bid, it is best to change the grass plant or change the direction. The mature grass is not suitable for It’s grown here, so your bid won’t be accepted.”

At this time, the two men who went to take samples also came over with sampling tools. The fat man happily said to the serious old man: "Teacher, that's it."

The serious old man nodded: "Okay, let's go to the next place now and try to complete all samples today."

Chen Mu, who was standing there, was scratching his head.

He couldn't help but quickly followed the three people who left, and shamelessly squeezed in next to the old man.

"Uncle, you can't just tell half the story. Just tell me why the bluegrass won't pass the tender?"

In fact, Chen Mu knew the identity of this old man. Fu Yan told him about the appearance of the person in charge of the engineering forest this time, so he naturally knew that the old man in front of him was one of the engineers. Although he did not directly decide on the adoption rights, his opinion was also very important.

So now after directly telling him that Poa annua would not pass the tender, and suggesting that he choose other categories directly, Chen Mu's curiosity was completely aroused.Although I never expected to win the bid this time.

But it's his business not to report expectations, but if you tell him directly that Poa annua will not be chosen, then he really has to ask clearly.

Hearing this, the serious old man looked at Chen Mu for a long time, thought about it, and finally told him the reason.

“The height of bluegrass is a big issue.

In planting areas, herdsmen's areas, or even roadside, this is an advantage. After all, as long as harvesting and maintenance are timely, it is what livestock and herdsmen like.

But for this kind of windbreak, that's a big problem! "

The serious old man shook his head and said seriously: "Among other things, Poa annua can grow up to 90 centimeters in height if it is not controlled by others, and it can be harvested multiple times within a year.

You said, in this kind of place, especially in this kind of forest farm where one person has to be responsible for a large area, and there is also the problem of ventilation under the sapling forest. After the bluegrass grows, who will harvest it and who will control it. Woolen cloth? "

Chen Mu was speechless.

Bluegrass is actually a good pasture that can be grown as pasture, then grazed to feed cattle and sheep, and made into dry pasture for storage. It is also a kind of lawn grass. It is used in many urban greenings in the south and north. Grass is used to lay the lawn.

However, due to the problem of rapid growth, it requires long-term dedicated harvesting, pruning, and maintenance.

The serious old man looked at Chen Mu for the last time, sighed, and said sincerely: "Old man, let me tell you the truth. In order to avoid this kind of problem again, the company we choose this time will definitely be a big company. For small companies ..." That will not be considered at all.

Chen Mu naturally understood the unfinished meaning in his words, but he didn't say much, just thinking about things silently.

In fact, this kind of government project bidding, no matter how nice it sounds, will actually prefer large companies.

Not to mention, each windbreak needs to plant at least one million saplings. This number is not a big deal for large companies, but for small companies, supply alone is a big problem.

In the past, small forestry companies used low-price bidding to obtain orders for engineering forests. However, because they were unable to supply the goods in time, they had to adopt a multi-outsourcing model.

Although there were no problems with the saplings, since then, sapling suppliers in government-engineered forests will only choose more reliable large forestry companies.

For example, small companies usually just go through the motions and then bid for some worthless things that are tasteless, discarded, and disdainful to large companies.

This is also an unspoken rule known by colleagues.

Chen Mu naturally knew this, and he also knew that he was just here to accompany Cao Zhi, so he only focused on Cao Zhi, and he didn't even dare to think about the rest.

It's fine now, and Cao Zhi doesn't have a chance to get involved.

Then he has been driving for so long, isn't this trip just a waste of gas!

If that's the case, then why invite him and give him this spot?
This is not funny!
Looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Mu suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, his family was nice and he really told himself what he wanted to say. In this case, he naturally couldn't get angry with others.

Unexpectedly, the old man looked at his expression and already guessed what he was thinking. He couldn't help but sigh again and said slowly.

“Are you particularly dissatisfied with the fact that we sent you a tender with grass and ripe crops even though we knew you wouldn’t be chosen?!”

The words were questions, but the tone was very affirmative.

Seeing that the other party knew, Chen Mu no longer suppressed and responded directly: "Yes!"

“Actually, from the very beginning, we never thought about considering your Sanmu Forestry Farm, let alone including you as a bidding company, even if your Sanmu Forestry Farm signed two foreign trade orders at the Lanshi Nursery Exhibition.

But I didn’t expect that when we submitted the bidding list two days ago, the person in charge from the government asked a few questions about your company when it was not on the list, and even praised you Miki a few times..."

Chen Mu understood.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that he was temporarily added to make up the number because of a word from the person in charge.

Moreover, this number actually has no meaning. It is just for people to see, to show that the other party attaches importance to the words of the person in charge, and by the way, it will sell well!

It's like: Look, I take everything you say to heart, and whatever you say, I'm going to do it.

No wonder it was Fu Yan who called him and told him. Chen Mu always thought it was the person in charge who called him, but he didn't receive it, so he missed it!
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that he was overthinking everything!

The serious old man looked at the young man in front of him who was as old as his own student and the eyes that trusted him. He opened his mouth and wanted to comfort him with a few words, but in the end, he gave up the idea.

Instead, he raised his hand and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, then put his hand behind his back and walked away slowly.

Chen Mu was not the kind of person who didn't understand anything. He thanked the old man in a low voice for reminding him, then turned and left the forest farm.

Since it's all a waste of time and delay, why is he still wasting his time here?

If you have the time, you might as well go back and plant a few more trees!
