In the blink of an eye, it was the end of December.
It was drizzling from the sky.
It was only a few degrees Celsius.
Everyone was wearing thick clothes. Those who were afraid of the cold put on down jackets and cotton-padded jackets.
Yangshi City, Shouyang Mountain.
It was a small mountain on the outskirts of the city by a secret river.
It was a picturesque place.
There was a rather large farmhouse here.
However, the farmhouse had changed its name.
It became a branch of Xianquan Restaurant in Yangshi City.
It had been renovated and had the natural color and vibe of Xianquan Restaurant.
It was the opening day of the branch in Yangshi City.
There were many invited guests, even more than when Xianquan Restaurant opened for the first time.
Many big shots in Yangshi City from both the political and business circles came to attend the opening.
It couldn't be helped. The Immortal Spring Restaurant was too popular now.
They could not even order enough food.
Now that the second branch was open, there was a greater chance of enjoying delicious food.
Also, it was more convenient for the guests who were close to Yangshi City. They did not need to drive to Jing County anymore.
The only thing they were not satisfied with was the weather today. It was drizzling and it was not very comfortable.
However, the guests were in a good mood.
There were so many people greeting Ye Xiaochen that she was a little overwhelmed.
"Mr. Ye, I hope you don't mind that I came uninvited."
Suddenly, Ye Xiaochen ran into an unexpected acquaintance.
Ling Jinxiu.
The General Manager of UNIVERSAL CORPORATION.
She was a smart and capable career woman.
The last time they met, she gave Ye Xiaochen a Porsche Cayenne.
"General Manager Ling? Of course not. I can't wait to welcome you."
Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.
"I haven't congratulated Mr. Ye yet. You will soon become a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Ling Jinxiu said.
She did not expect Ye Xiaochen to be so successful. It was as if she became famous overnight.
Fortunately, she had acted decisively last time and established a good relationship with Ye Xiaochen.
Thinking of that, she felt a little excited. If she could succeed, the UNIVERSAL CORPORATION would benefit greatly.
By then, it would only be a matter of time before Worldwide went public.
And all of this depended on Ye Xiaochen.
Because of this, when Xianquan Catering opened its branch in Yang City, she immediately came uninvited from Sha City.
"Thank you."
Ye Xiaochen was very polite.
The two of them chatted for a while before Ye Xiaochen left because he had more important guests to accompany.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already past two in the afternoon.
After Ye Xiaochen sent the important guests away, she realized that Ling Jinxiu was still there.
At this time, most of the guests had left.
"General Manager Ling, is there anything else?"
Ye Xiaochen knew that Ling Jinxiu must have come for more than just the opening ceremony. She must have other things to do.
"I see that Mr. Ye is so busy. Why don't we talk about it later?"
Ling Jinxiu said.
"General Manager Ling, if you have any difficulties in seed research, I can help. Just let me know."
Ye Xiaochen smiled.
"Actually, I'm quite embarrassed to ask about this."
Ling Jinxiu looked around and hesitated.
Ye Xiaochen knew what Ling Jinxiu meant and immediately led her into an office.
The two of them sat down.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that when the research institute is being built, the local government will be responsible for the funding. Under normal circumstances, most of the funds may be raised from other sources, such as corporate sponsorship …"
Ling Jinxiu saw Ye Xiaochen's acquiescence and immediately said.
Ye Xiaochen understood in her heart. She did not expect that even the UNIVERSAL CORPORATION would be so impatient that they directly came to her.
Ever since the research institute was going to be located in Yang City, the business community of Southern Province was in an uproar.
As long as there were companies involved in the agriculture industry, almost all of them had the idea of sponsoring the research institute.
For this reason, eight immortals crossed the sea and used their magical powers.
The reason why these companies were so enthusiastic was that they wanted to ride on the research institute's future aircraft carrier.
A branch research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences would definitely produce a large number of research results on agriculture in the future. If these results were used and promoted, how great would the benefits be?
It could be said that as long as you sponsored the research institute, you would receive ten times the return in the future.
It was obvious that Ling Jinxiu had this idea in mind.
As long as they could ride on the research institute's aircraft carrier, the possibility of going public was infinitely high.
"General Manager Ling, I'm afraid I can't help with this matter. After all, the local government should be responsible for funding."
Ye Xiaochen shook her head and smiled.
In fact, if it were any other research institute, they would probably welcome this kind of gift.
However, the situation was different now. Even if they wanted to give money, they might not necessarily accept it. It also depended on whether the person had the strength, background, and connections.
As the future head of the research institute, Ye Xiaochen had no problem pulling in a company.
The problem was that he was not willing to give this opportunity to others because the company that he and Wang Shuisheng were working on was already in preparation.
He was prepared to give this opportunity to his own company.
He had already discussed it with Wang Shuisheng.
The cake was only so big. If one more person joined in, the benefits would naturally be reduced.
"Mr. Ye, is there really no other way?"
Ling Jinxiu's pretty face showed a sad expression.
She did not believe that Ye Xiaochen did not have a way. However, she already understood that Ye Xiaochen did not want to help.
After all, the competition for sponsorship slots was too fierce.
Although the UNIVERSAL CORPORATION was not small, it was only a few billion in size.
Compared to the real giants, it was still a lot worse.
Right now, there were countless capital giants competing in the dark.
She had turned to Ye Xiaochen because she couldn't find any other way to get Ye Xiaochen.
Now, it seemed that it was still not possible!
"General Manager Ling, it's very difficult. After all, the share is only so much. However, I have a suggestion."
Ye Xiaochen was silent for a moment. Then, she said after weighing the pros and cons.
"Mr. Ye, what's your suggestion? Please tell me. "
Ling Jinxiu leaned forward and made a gesture of listening.
"Although the UNIVERSAL CORPORATION can't be the first beneficiary, it shouldn't be a problem to enter the second."
Ye Xiaochen said.
"The second?"
Ling Jinxiu was stunned at first. Then, she understood and immediately said, "Does Mr. Ye have a way?"
"I've recently set up a company specializing in agriculture. Perhaps, there's a possibility of us working together."
Ye Xiaochen said with a smile.
Ling Jinxiu finally understood. No wonder Ye Xiaochen was not willing to help her.
Since Ye Xiaochen had set up a company specializing in agriculture, naturally, she would not let go of this great opportunity. She would definitely be able to get a sponsorship slot.
If it were her, she would not give this slot to anyone, no matter how close she was to them.
The business world was like a battlefield. There was no mercy.
"Mr. Ye, the UNIVERSAL CORPORATION is willing to invest 10 million in the name of Mr. Ye's company to sponsor the establishment of the research institute."
Ling Jinxiu's beautiful eyes flashed with determination as she made a decision.
