Happy Shennong

Chapter 73
Zhong Wanlong was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses, a little excited: "Lei, could it be that...you planted La Bonnnot potatoes?"

"No." Linley smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Oh? Then you know about this experience?"

"I'm ashamed to say, I'm not. I only learned from Ling'er some time ago that there are such expensive potatoes in this world."

Hearing this, Zhong Wanlong frowned, and then showed a faint smile: "Lei, how sure are you that you will successfully grow La Bonnnot potatoes?"

"Well... seven points. As long as it's still a crop... No, as long as it's still a plant, I'm at least six to seven points sure that I can successfully introduce it to the local area."

"Linley, I have heard from Ling'er many times about your superb vegetable growing skills. I have seen and eaten the vegetables you grow. It can be seen that your vegetable growing skills have indeed reached an extraordinary level. Not comparable to ordinary people. But..."

That's all Zhong Wanlong said. Although he was still smiling, it could be heard that he had some scruples.

Zhong Ling pursed her thin lips, and took over the words: "Linley, I believe in your planting techniques. But there are some situations... I think I should let you know. A few years ago, there was a vegetable tycoon in China who spent huge sums of money to gather A group of top experts, including research on potatoes and crop planting, wanted to introduce La Bonnnot potatoes. I heard that after more than two years of tossing and spending millions of dollars, it finally failed."

"Hiss... Although La Bonnault potatoes are noble among potatoes, they are still just a crop after all. Is it really so difficult to grow? Could it be that they still have spirituality, and they won't live long without France?"

"It's not a question of spirituality, but that La Bonnault potatoes are too delicate. Its growth process has strict and special requirements for soil, environment, climate, water, nutrients, light, and even air quality. The difficulty is that these complicated and demanding requirements cannot be fully controlled, let alone completely simulated."

Linley rubbed his temples, pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Could it be that the team of experts you mentioned... spent millions of dollars on research for several years, but got nothing?"

"That's not true. I heard that they planted two batches of potatoes at that time, but the yield was extremely low. What's more terrible is that the potatoes planted almost did not inherit the characteristics of La Bonnnot potatoes. Whether it is quality or taste, they are all It is about the same as ordinary potatoes. In terms of size, it is not as good as local potatoes. The finished product costs ten to twenty times higher than ordinary potatoes, but the price is similar to ordinary potatoes. Naturally, there is no need to promote it. An exploration is tantamount to a failure."

"Understood. It seems that this La Bonnault potato...is more delicate than I thought."

Zhong Linger nodded in agreement.

Zhong Wanlong leaned on the rattan chair, held the teacup in both hands, and asked with a smile, "Linley, how sure are you now?"

"Eight points." Linley responded casually.

"Hiss...why have you increased by one?"

Zhong Ling was also very surprised: "Linley, you didn't listen to what I just said?"

"No." Linley waved his hand, "Through your narration, I have gained a better understanding of La Bonnnot potatoes, so I am more confident of successful planting than before. But... I just want to make a suggestion. I know that you are all businessmen, no matter what you do, you have to do a risk assessment. Think about it, even if you don’t want to take this risk, I won’t blame you.”

Although Linley really hoped to get this chance to try, he was not in a hurry.He believed that Zhong Wanlong would agree to him after careful consideration.

After leaving Zhong's villa, he went to the flower market and found Song Hongwei.

It's a pity that after he had a certain level of appreciation, he didn't find any potential bonsai to be scrapped.

However, he greeted Song Hongwei, and if there was an auction, he would be notified in advance.Because there are three pots of bonsai in his home, which have been brought back to life and are growing gratifyingly.

After looking at the photos on Linley's phone, Song Hongwei couldn't help being surprised.

Then, Song Hongwei also gave advice: "Mr. Lin, the three pots of bonsai you have left are really growing well, but judging from the state shown in the photos... To be honest, the current buying point for them is that they are growing well. If you can find a bonsai master and trim them, you will be able to sell them for a higher price."

For this suggestion, Linley took it seriously.However, he didn't say much, and after thanking him, he said goodbye.

When approaching the village, there was a sharp horn sound from behind.

Linley looked in the rearview mirror, and found that a Volkswagen LaVida with a provincial license plate was closely following him.Judging from the trajectory of Lavida and the constant sound of the horn, it was necessary for him to give way.

There is no way, the performance of the broken bread cannot be compared with a new-looking car, and the road into the village is not very spacious.He was not hypocritical, and he resolutely pulled over.

"Chichi..."

Lang Yi saw the right moment, and suddenly sped up.

At the moment when the two cars were side by side, Linley turned his head and took a look.Lavida's car glass is covered with a blue-black protective film, making it difficult to see the people inside.However, judging from the blurry image, the driver seemed to be an acquaintance, but it was impossible to tell which acquaintance it was.

After entering the village, he drove very slowly.But along the way, I didn't find that Lavida parked anywhere, but I heard the villagers passing by talking about who got rich, who was the first in the village to buy a car, and now returned to his hometown.

Hearing this information, and then contacting the blurred image just now for comprehensive consideration, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a figure appeared in his head.

Parked the car outside the gate of Lao Ma's house. After Lin Lei entered the house, he noticed that Ma Fugui and Liu Guixiang were also chatting with great interest in the yard. He was about to ask for confirmation when the phone rang up.

It was Du Wen who called, and asked him to come over, saying that it was a matter of urgency.

Guessing it should be about He Xiaowei's case, he turned around and left without hesitation, and drove to Du's house.

Du Dajun and his elders are still busy in the fish pond and are not at home, and Du Wen seems to have just come back, drinking water.

"Sister Wenwen, what's the matter?" Lin Lei walked straight to the opposite of Du Wen, and when he sat down, he inadvertently looked in through Du Wen's open neckline.

Immediately, his throat was blocked, as if he saw something unsuitable for children...

Du Wen didn't even look directly at Linley, but out of the corner of her eye, she still noticed something unusual.While tidying up the neckline, he gave him a glare before opening his mouth: "The case of He Xiaowei and the others has been sentenced."

"Ahem...so fast? What's the result?" Linley touched his temples and sat down, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly got to the point.

"Although they committed a lot of crimes, there were no particularly serious cases. In front of all kinds of evidence, especially the small book provided by Er Ganzi, they confessed, which greatly shortened the interrogation time. Because of theft, fraud, and oppression of the people, etc. All kinds of crimes were punished for several crimes, and the final result was that He Xiaowei was sentenced to 12 years in prison, Ma Gan was sentenced to [-] years in prison, and Er Gan was sentenced to [-] year in prison..."

"Unexpectedly, the crime of Ma Gan is heavier than that of He Xiaowei."

"Although He Xiaowei is the mastermind, Ma Gan did the most. So in terms of these local cases, the crimes of the two of them are almost the same. And Ma Gan committed some small cases in the provincial capital, and they were also found out. So, he has been in prison for two years longer than He Xiaowei."

"Hey, how many years they have been sentenced, they deserve what they deserve, but Uncle He suffered..."

Du Wen also sighed: "Uncle He, let's just assume that there is no son-in-law He Xiaowei and son-in-law Ma Gan. In addition, Er Ganzi seems to have truly repented. I believe that after he is released from prison, he will make up for Uncle He. There is a vacancy in people. It's only a year, and it will pass soon. It just gave Uncle He's family a period of buffer time, and when they get used to the status quo, the good days will begin."

Linley nodded: "I don't know if the village will calm down after He Xiaowei and the others calm down. Just now I seem to see an acquaintance..."

"You mean Ma Changle?"

"Is he really back?"

Du Wen nodded: "He came back yesterday and has been to the institute."

"Why did he go to the institute? Why is Xiaowei mediocre?"

"He did have that idea. But the case of He Xiaowei and the others has been handed over to the county. As far as the relationship between their father and son is concerned, even with the connections of his uncle Ma Fuan's family, the situation cannot be reversed. What I am worried about now Yes, if He Xiaowei left, but Ma Changle came, the village might not only not be peaceful, but might even be more troubled than before. After all, He Xiaowei had been working in the local area all along and had little knowledge. Ma Changle was in the province. He has been in the city for many years. His knowledge, courage and assets are all higher than He Xiaowei by more than one level..."

Lin Lei deeply agrees: "In particular, Ma Changle has a special status and has a lot of contacts. His father is the village chief, his cousin is the captain of the town police station, and his uncle is the chief of the town police station... Hey, if he commits a crime, he may Not as easy to deal with as He Xiaowei."

"Phew... I just hope that he can learn from He Xiaowei and the others, be a good person, and don't commit crimes."

"No, Sister Wenwen, you are not afraid of anything, how could you be afraid of Ma Changle committing crimes?"

Du Wen shrugged: "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just worried...the brothers Ma Fuyuan and Ma Fuan will follow in Uncle He's footsteps. After all, raising a son is not easy..."

"Okay. I can already imagine Ma Changle committing a crime and being punished by you."

"Fuck off, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, right?"

"Okay, I won't tell you..."

Linley touched his temple in embarrassment, stubbed out his cigarette butt and was about to leave.

Du Wen suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, you young people who have seen the big world, why are you returning to the basics? Xuan Xuan returned to the village after graduating from university, first took care of the hotel, and now started to engage in farmhouse entertainment. You are more thorough and directly become a farmer. Vegetable farmers. Now Ma Changle..."

"Hiss... what's wrong with him?"

In Linley's heart, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged.
