At the same time, Tang Shu was drinking coffee with Shen Xiuyu in the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Jinling Hotel.

Gently stirring the cappuccino in the cup, Shen Xiuyu watched her son across from him put three spoons of sugar and a cup of milk into his coffee cup: "I thought you were not used to drinking foreign food."

Tang Shu put down the small silver spoon, picked up the cup and took a sip, showing no discomfort at all: "The country is opening up, and we, as young people, have to keep pace with the times."

At this time, the TV screen not far away was also playing the National Day military parade being held in the capital. Looking at the oncoming college student formation, Shen Xiuyu said with emotion: "If it weren't for that girl Xia Yan, you would

I should be in this formation at that time."

"I never like to be in the limelight." Regarding his mother's lament, Tang Shu did not deny it. He did intend to do something for the development of domestic agriculture, and at the same time, he also wanted to gain some benefits. However, Ning Agricultural University is not the only domestic agricultural university.

With this analysis, Tang Shu's motivation for applying to Ningcheng Agricultural University becomes clear.

Putting down the coffee cup, Tang Shu looked at Shen Xiuyu with cunning eyes: "Your trip to Ningcheng doesn't seem to be going well."

"Did you see it?" Shen Xiuyu sighed softly, "It's indeed not going well."

She came to Ningcheng this time for two purposes. The first was to find her son. She was already absolutely sure of this. Meeting Tang Shu was a matter of course. What surprised Shen Xiuyu was that Tang Shu actually found her a man of various kinds.

As a daughter-in-law who is doing well in all aspects, this was something she had not expected and was an unexpected surprise.

As for the second point, it is a bit difficult to deal with. Before leaving, Mr. Shen wanted to establish contact with the mainland. Shen Xiuyu planned to set up a foreign trade company because the Shen family could use some connections to sell domestic products to the international market.

Unfortunately, they still overestimated the current domestic production level.

In the past two weeks, Shen Xiuyu, accompanied by the leaders of Ningcheng City, visited more than a dozen large and small state-owned units in Ningcheng. Among them, the product quality of textile, garment and other light industry enterprises really needs to be improved. These cloth and clothes

They can meet domestic needs, but to picky foreigners, these are typical representatives of shoddy manufacturing.

This is especially true for large-scale heavy industries. Shen Xiuyu does not understand the standard quality of various steel models, but the steel-making equipment used by Ning Steel Plant is still at the level of Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. For this reason, the products of Ning Steel Plant will not be used.

High standards accepted by Europeans.

Let me tell you if I don't want to, today's country is in dire need of development, and steel is needed everywhere to build high-rise buildings. Ningang Steel Plant's products cannot be digested internally, so how can there be any surplus to sell abroad.

In Shen Xiuyu's opinion, the only one that can still produce is Ningcheng Panda Electronics Factory. Although the TV sets they produce cannot compare with the latest foreign models, the advantage of Panda Electronics Factory is that the price is not high. Of course, this

It's also relative.

For ordinary people in China, the price of several hundred or even thousands is still an unreachable sky-high price, but for foreigners, this small amount of money is really nothing.

However, since people can afford the best, why should they lower themselves to buy cheap goods that are not the latest models?

This is why Shen Xiuyu feels a headache. As the capital of Jiangsu Province, Ningcheng naturally has unique advantages. It is impossible to find products suitable for export here. Shen Xiuyu feels that it is harder to find them in other cities.

If establishing a foreign trade company doesn't work, the Shen family's backup plan is to introduce technology from abroad, establish a factory in Jiangsu Province, and produce and sell it themselves, but this also faces a problem.

In the 1980s, the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises had not yet been completely smashed, and Sino-foreign joint ventures had not yet become popular. Shen Xiuyu was worried that if she continued to invest in this factory, it would eventually be forced to die because she could not recruit workers.

"This is the current situation in the country. Those of us who want to contribute to the country have no direction at all." Shen Xiuyu smiled bitterly. She had no intention of serving the country but was unable to take action. This kind of ending is really quite embarrassing.

It's frustrating.

"Actually, you can change your mind and don't always think about making a fuss about industry." Tang Shu's expression began to become serious, "You have an understanding of the current situation of the country. It has just been a few years since the reform and opening up. Although

We have achieved certain results. If we want to go abroad all at once, the step is a bit too big. What the country needs to do now is to meet domestic demand and raise its own economic level first, and then it is possible to go abroad. This

It cannot be completed overnight, so our industry is still in its infancy in the eyes of developed countries. If our foreign trade company takes this route, it will definitely be a dead end."

"If you don't make a fuss about industrial products? What's left?" Tang Shu's reminder made Shen Xiuyu mutter to herself, and then she thought of a possibility, "Do you mean agricultural products?"

When Shen Xiuyu said this, she laughed: "You also had the experience of not being able to eat enough when you were a child. The situation got better within a few years. Did you heal the scar and forget the pain? What is the level of domestic agriculture?

It is also not on the same level as foreign countries. It can be said that we have just got rid of food self-sufficiency for a long time, so how can we have excess food to sell?"

"Mom, let me tell you an example. This is what your son did last year."

Immediately, Tang Shu briefly told Shen Xiuyu about how he and his second uncle built a vegetable greenhouse and finally made a profit of 1,000 yuan, and finally concluded: "Our agricultural products are not necessarily rice and wheat, other cash crops are also

It can be sold to the West as export materials, like this."

Tang Shu tapped the cup in front of him with the spoon in his hand, and the crisp sound made a ripple in Shen Xiuyu's heart. Suddenly, her eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean growing coffee?"

"Not only coffee, but also grapes and cocoa beans. As long as foreigners like it, we can try to grow it." Tang Shu proudly showed the school badge on his chest, "Don't forget, your son

This is what I learned.”

"It makes sense." Shen Xiuyu felt that she was looking in the right direction this time, and the confusion in her eyes disappeared instantly, "I will go back in two days to talk to your grandpa. I think this is definitely a way.

A path with a success rate of over 80%.”

"We don't have to be so impatient. After all, planting cash crops is different from building a factory. You need to find a suitable natural environment, soil, moisture, and temperature. These are all factors that can affect plant growth. If you want to find a place and plant it in a large area, you still have to find a place."

It requires a research process. I will go back and ask the professors at the school. It would be great if they have done research in this area before."

I don’t know if Qiu Aihua has any information in this area. If not, Tang Shu plans to encourage him to organize a group to go to Yun Province to investigate. He once watched a movie about growing coffee, and the place mentioned in it is Yun Province.

Shen Xiuyu also knew that this would not happen overnight, but she had enough patience to wait. She hoped that her son would complete this matter.

"As for the tree species, you don't need to worry. As soon as we find a place, I will immediately have the best saplings shipped in from abroad."

Since this matter still needs time to prepare, Shen Xiuyu does not intend to stay in Suzhou anymore. There are still things waiting for her to go back to Hong Kong Island to deal with. The physical condition of her father Shen Chaoli is also a concern for her.

"Zhong Hui will stay in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. If anything happens, you can contact her directly." Shen Xiuyu smiled mysteriously, "There is a real estate developed by our Shen family in Shenzhen City. If you and Xia Yan plan to go to the south for development, you can directly Live there."

"Shenzhen cities in Guangdong Province are now at the forefront of reform and opening up." Tang Shu sighed, "It is indeed a key development city for the leader's southern tour. It should be the most prosperous place in the country."
