Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 612 Science is the primary productive force (Second update, please subscribe)
On a muddy rainforest road, a BMW off-road vehicle was struggling to move forward, its wheels leaving deep marks on the slippery soil. The trees on the road were towering, with lush branches and leaves, blocking most of the sunlight and shrouding the entire road in darkness.

Li Yian held the steering wheel tightly and enjoyed the thrill of driving an off-road vehicle. Occasionally, you glanced directly at Anna sitting in the passenger seat, your heart filled with complicated emotions.

This woman is actually a "swallow"... What a pity!

But on the other hand, Li Yian also experienced a different feeling in her.

Anna, who didn't realize that she had been exposed, looked forward. There will be a little innocent smile on her beautiful face. Maybe this is just part of her perfect disguise.

"It turns out that not all roads in Nanyang are expressways!"

Anna smiled.

“There are very few roads between plantations, so off-road vehicles are needed.”

Li Yian explained.

"This off-road vehicle is specially built for plantations and is more comfortable to ride than ordinary military off-road vehicles."

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart, Li Yian glanced at the woman next to him out of the corner of his eye. Anna's identity makes everything more complicated and tricky.

"We're almost there."

Anna was wearing a khaki shirt and walking side by side among the oil palm trees with Li Yian. Her smile is bright and sincere, as if she is a carefree traveler enjoying the gifts of nature.

Ana nodded slightly but said nothing. There was an imperceptible strangeness in her eyes. Until now, she didn't know why the man invited her to "go out". Could it be... a date.

"What are you looking for?"

The word "sex" comes first...a knife!
Despite this, Li Yi still enjoyed his time with Anna. Together they walked around the plantation, admiring the surrounding scenery and sharing stories and laughter with each other.

Looking at Anna's smiling face in the sun, Li Yian couldn't help but think.

At sunset, Li Yi'an and Anna finally arrived at an oil palm plantation. The setting sun shines through the sparse clouds, adding a touch of gold to this lush green land.

Li Yian didn't think as much as she thought. He just drove the car intently. For him, this was just a trip... to avoid some things.

The two of them chatted while walking in the plantation, and the topic was light and pleasant. The setting sun shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled light and shadow.

Although I have made up my mind to let her be a double agent, where is the boundary of this matter?
The off-road vehicle continued to bump along the muddy road, and the dense branches and leaves of the rainforest flew past the car window. Li Yi and Anna were each immersed in their own thoughts, and the distance between them seemed to become further apart during this short journey.

Halfway through the plantation trip, Anna seemed to be very interested in every detail in the plantation. She stopped from time to time and carefully observed the growth of the oil palm trees. She even squatted down and touched the soil gently, as if she was looking for something.

"This car is indeed much more comfortable to sit in than a Jeep, just like a sedan."

No wonder KGB's Yanzi is so famous. A mysterious and beautiful woman like this can easily attract or even fascinate men.

This BMW off-road vehicle named "Warrior" was developed by BMW under Li Nian's instruction two years ago. Its appearance is based on the first-generation Land Rover Defender. As the world's second SUV, this vehicle has strong off-road capabilities. In addition, the most important thing is that it is also equipped with air conditioning, which also keeps the temperature in the car cool.

The war taking place on the peninsula has nothing to do with Nanyang. Avoiding... is the best choice at present.

Looking at her, Li Yian's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He knew that Anna was a spy, but her disguise was so perfect that it would have been difficult to detect her true identity if she hadn't accidentally exposed her true identity.

"Weevil!"

Anna raised her head and smiled.

"I've heard that it was the weevil you discovered that solved the pollination problem of oil palm, right?" After Li Yian mentioned that oil palm is a very important crop that day, Anna specifically learned about oil palm. , it turned out that there is a very direct connection between the oil palm planting in Nanyang and the man next to me. "You also introduced the oil palm plantation industry? You knew at that time that there would be a huge demand for palm oil in the future, right?"

He raised his head, his blue eyes filled with curiosity and more of wonder.

"Almost, but..."

Li Yian said.

"However, I overlooked one thing at the time,"

"what?"

"The average income level in Nanyang has exceeded initial expectations, which has caused the cost of oil palm planting to increase and profits to decline. Unless there is a mature palm fruit picking industry, oil palm planting will increase in the future as labor costs increase. The industry is likely to gradually decline.”

Li Yi'an's words are not bragging, but a fact - Nanyang's development speed far exceeds the initial estimate. It is not just the large number of complete sets of equipment shipped back from Germany, Italy and Japan, but also the more important "predictability" The guided production allowed Nanyang's products to firmly capture the market from the beginning. This is the key to Nanyang's economic take-off.

From consumer goods to infant products to home appliances, Nanyang's industrial planning was adjusted by Li Yian based on his understanding of history. This allowed Nanyang to avoid the market's "trial and error period" and "trial and error costs." It also made Nanyang's economy achieve rapid progress in a short period of time.

What this brings is an increase in labor costs. After all, Li Yian has been committed to increasing people's income.

“Are you saying that the palm oil industry will be eliminated in the future?”

"Low labor costs have never been Nanyang's industrial advantage, and Nanyang will not choose this industrial advantage..."

Thinking of another world, some people said that wages should be lowered to ensure the industrial advantage of low labor costs. Even though so long had passed, Li Yi'an still couldn't help but want to greet his mother.

In the eyes of some people, our compatriots deserve the fate of being cows and horses. Of course, the premise is that everyone can be cows and horses, and they can be Rome.

"Then what are Nanyang's industrial advantages?"

In fact, Anna is ostensibly a ballet dancer, but in fact she studied at Moss University and became a "Swallow" for some special reasons. Ballet is just her hobby.

"science!"

Li Yian said two words casually.

"Only science is Nanyang's industrial advantage, and it is also the highest point that Nanyang will seize in the future. Only science can promote Nanyang's progress. After all, science is the real primary productive force!"

Science is the primary productive force?
Anna was stunned by the seemingly simple answer. She looked at the man next to her in surprise.
"You see, just like oil palm, it must be scientifically planted and fertilized to achieve higher yields. If pollination by oil palm weevils had not been discovered, it would be impossible to establish an oil palm planting industry in Nanyang, so... science, Science is the primary productive force, there is no doubt about it!”

After thinking about it, Li Yian said again.

"In fact, this is also the secret of Nanyang's rise. The secret of Nanyang's rise is actually very simple, which is to make full use of science and technology, transform the latest science and technology into industrial products, and thus open up the market."

"Is it that simple?"

Anna's tone was somewhat unconvincing. After all, there were various theories about the reasons for Nanyang's rise.

But when it came out of this guy's mouth, it was so simple, just - science!
"It's that simple."

Li Yian said with a smile.

"Many things are not that complicated. As long as you grasp the key points, success is inevitable, and the key to Nanyang...is science."
