Keshan County is located in the northeast of the city and is separated from the city by two suburban counties. It is a well-known soybean production county and one of the famous soybean towns in China.

Lin Qiangsheng and Lin Xiang were accompanied by Li Changshan, director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, Yang Xudong, County Mayor of Keshan County, and others. They visited the soybean and potato planting areas mainly composed of cooperatives. These two crops are also the two major economic crops in Keshan.

County Mayor Yang Xudong introduced to them that the annual soybean planting area in Keshan County is more than 1 million mu, and the annual production of soybeans remains at 150,000 tons. In addition to self-use, the commodity trade volume is about 130,000 tons.

Li Changshan said: "County Magistrate Yang, Mr. Lin is here with the project. He wants to invest in the construction of a large soybean deep processing enterprise here. You must cooperate well!"

Yang Xudong immediately said: "Of course we welcome it. Keshan is a soybean production base. Our soybeans have good quality and high oil yield. In addition to a small amount of processing, they mainly export and most of them are exported to Japan. If Mr. Lin invests and can strengthen our deep processing capabilities, the county welcomes you with both hands. When you come, we will increase the soybean planting area in the future and strive to increase it to more than 2 million acres!"

"If you want to increase the output to 2.5 million mu, I will definitely invest. Don't worry!" Lin Qiangsheng said happily.

Yang Xudong and others were very happy. What bothered them was their deep processing ability. Seeing others producing high-value-added products for a high price, they could only provide raw materials, which was always a concern for them.

In recent years, domestic agricultural reforms have promoted production and led projects. Yang Xudong and others have also been looking for a path to development. Finally, they have focused on the planting of crops such as soybeans and potatoes. This is the most important industry in the county, but they have always suffered from insufficient funds.

After being recognized by agricultural experts, Lin Johnson became more confident in the soybeans here. He also decided to establish his own seed company, fertilizer and pesticide company, and changed genetically modified soybeans in a large area in Northeast China in his previous life. This crop has the characteristics of high oil yield, resistance to pests and diseases, increased yield and good cooking, so it is generally popular among soybean farmers.

However, ordinary people have no idea what animal and plant genes are added to the genetically modified crops. Supporters and opponents argue endlessly, and all parties quoted classics, which caused the society to be afraid of genetically modified talks.

Although Lin Johnson is a neutral person, he doesn’t want to be a fool. Genetically modified is a high-tech and the general trend, but he must be in his own hands to be at ease.

In addition, regarding chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is necessary to strengthen the development and utilization of biological agents and reduce the use of chemical agents. It is better to use farmland herbicides such as paraquat as less and use advanced biological herbicides instead.

Yang Xudong and others were very concerned about the investment amount. Lin Qiangsheng revealed to everyone: "I will invest 20 million yuan in Keshan to build a soybean storage base and processing base. The annual processing capacity must reach 300,000 tons. Your current planting area is too small, which is definitely not enough."

Yang Xudong and others were very excited. He said, "If you really come to invest, we will immediately increase the soybean area. Soybeans are crops with low investment, easy planting, saving labor and time. Farmers are willing to plant, and it is easy to increase the yield as long as the year is good!"

Lin Johnson and Lin Xiang both nodded, and Lin Xiang even said: "We want to establish a soybean pressing plant in your county, and a vegetable oil refining and distribution project can provide 100 positions, the factory area must be at least 20,000 square meters, and a storage base with at least 90,000 tons of soybeans per year!"

Yang Xudong was very happy when he heard about the 20 million investment. Although he was a little disappointed that only 100 foreign investors were recruited, they were the ones who took the initiative to invest, so they didn't expect anything.

He discussed with everyone and said, "The county will grant you a piece of industrial land. As long as you invest, it will be used for you free of charge."

Li Changshan also said: "Now the new foreign-funded enterprise law has been implemented. Mr. Lin is a foreign businessman, so preferential measures must not be missed. The city will exempt you from taxes for five years, and all kinds of preferential measures will be based on the promulgation of the state."

Yang Xudong nodded and said, "Yes, I almost forgot that there are tax incentives!"

He decided to go back and take a look at the red-headed documents posted above and find out the preferential measures for foreign investment and study hard.

"No, the whole county needs to organize and study hard!" Yang Xudong thought to himself.

Everyone returned to the county in a car, and Lin Qiangsheng had a discussion with Li Changshan, Yang Xudong and others. Yang Xudong kept saying thank you, hoping that Lin Qiangsheng would invest as soon as possible, and also introduced other aspects of the county to the siblings, especially potatoes and other crops.

"Potatoes are good. They are one of the four major grain crops in the world. China treats potatoes as vegetables, while foreign countries treat potatoes as food!" Lin Johnson smiled.

Li Changshan nodded and said, "Foreigners have been eating potatoes for hundreds of years. I have read reports on this. British people love potatoes the most." Then he also put forward a different view: "However, the system of foreigners is different from that of Chinese people. They are very accustomed to eating potatoes, but Chinese people are intolerant of potatoes, and the carbohydrates of potatoes are too high, which is also the main reason that restricts potatoes from being used as food in our country!"

Yang Xudong laughed and said, "Actually, it's okay to be a snack. We ate this in the past few days of famine, but we farted a little more and we were hungry!"

Everyone laughed, and Lin Johnson said with a smile: "You can deep processing of potatoes and process them into potato noodles. This is a good ingredient for making spicy noodles. In addition, potatoes are also an important raw material for potato chips. The consumption of potato chips abroad is very large and is a snack food. Foreigners also eat potato chips as grain. The sales of potato chips in China will definitely be very considerable!"

After he said that, everyone felt that potatoes had great potential and joined the heated discussion.

Lin Qiangsheng said to Li Changshan: "Director Li, now the country is vigorously promoting agricultural reform, and the city is engaged in the distribution of production and contracting households. My Dongxing Group wants to develop the agricultural industry. Is it possible to contract some agricultural land in counties and districts?"

Li Changshan asked in surprise, "What do you want to contract farmland, what are you planting?"

Lin Qiangsheng said to Yang Xudong and others who were also surprised: "During the visit, I saw many farmers working bare hands. The agricultural machinery in our province is quite high across the country. Even so, the popularity rate is far less than that of developed countries in Europe and the United States. In foreign countries, farmers use large-scale agricultural machinery operations, so the efficiency of mechanized agriculture is very high. The workload of one of them is many times that of ours!

The Northeast has large arable land and many fields, which is extremely suitable for agricultural mechanization. You are still generally implementing a cooperative mechanism, and there is no distribution of output to households, because there is no distribution of agricultural machinery to households, which reduces efficiency.

We will participate, invest in large-scale agricultural machinery, carry out large-scale planting, and create large benefits, and agricultural output will soon double. I wonder what my proposal is like, can we contract some land for a pilot project!”

Li Changshan said in surprise: "We have to go back and study this matter. Foreign capital has entered domestic agricultural production, and there is no such thing in the country yet!"

Yang Xudong said instead: "What's wrong with this? We, Keshan County, can take out a cooperative to cooperate with Mr. Lin. At worst, it's not successful. Anyway, it won't be possible if it's there!"

Li Changshan said: "According to Mr. Lin, we must provide at least tens of thousands of acres of land for pilot projects to see the results!"

Lin Johnson shook his head: "Ten thousand acres of land are not enough. According to my idea, at least 100,000 acres of land must be reached!"

He described the scene to everyone: "The sky is sowing aircraft, and the ground is lined with large agricultural machinery. We use Israel's drip irrigation technology, high-quality fertilizers and advanced pesticide technology. Then we build various poultry farms, squeeze out soybean meal, and process the remaining crop straw into green feed, and then process livestock manure into fertilizer to form a circular economy. At that time, the farmers will not be farmers, but agricultural workers, who go to and from get off work like workers in the city, and have wages every month. If you live in a building like a city, you can build a villa!"

Everyone looked yearning, and Yang Xudong laughed and said, "This relationship is good, I'm drooling. Now if you let the farmers be workers, you won't be happy!"

Li Changshan also smiled and sighed: "Mr. Lin's idea is quite good. I guess the city will not object to this plan. Mayor Lin Xiangrong, who is in charge of economic work, should support it."

Speaking of his father, Lin Johnson and Lin Xiang smiled at each other. He was officially nominated for the position of mayor in early spring this year.

The Nanjiao Development Zone of the City has been established, and the Sonic Bicycle Factory, the first factory in the development zone, has started construction.

The factory now mainly produces a sturdy steel mountain bike from the Trek 850, but it is lighter than ordinary flying pigeons and phoenix cars. Now the monthly output is around 2,000 vehicles, priced at 180 yuan. After investing in the local market and Bincheng market, the novel models immediately became popular.

Nowadays, the transportation tools for ordinary people are still bicycles, and this trend will not change within about 20 years. Even if bicycles are still good products in a few decades, and at that time, transportation tools have become cars, bicycles have not been eliminated and have begun to develop into the field of leisure and entertainment.

Lin Xiang visited the factory and looked at the unique blue mascot Sonic in the workshop. She asked Lin Johnson in surprise: "This shape is quite unique, did you design it?"

Lin Qiangsheng said shamelessly: "Yes, this blue guy is called Sonic Boy. I will also send him cartoons to play abroad. In the future, the bicycles here will be sold abroad to create Chinese famous brands!"

Lin Xiang liked this mascot very much and nodded and said, "It looks good and can be made into toys and dolls. It will probably be loved by children. By the way, what kind of animal is this?"

Lin Johnson: "He is a fast hedgehog!"
