Muya Forestry didn't take the initiative to do anything, but it has already become famous internationally. Chen Mu felt like being hit by a pie from the sky.
"Brother Qi, if our Muya Forestry takes orders from abroad... there is no limit, right?"
Chen Mu felt that he still needed to ask clearly.
This is half on the line of "strategic significance", and the opinions of the country are very important.
He didn't want to make troubles, so he tried every means to solve them. It's better to find out who is ugly beforehand, so that he can do business safely.
Qi Yinong thought for a while and said: "Basically, the state has no restrictions on you for the sale of saplings. The only requirement is that you give priority to our domestic needs when distributing the supply of saplings... Well, especially public ones. need."
"This is for sure. We will guarantee to satisfy the domestic market first, and then accept foreign orders."
Chen Mu patted his chest as a guarantee.
The domestic market is still far from being satisfied. For now, Muya Forestry still focuses on the domestic market.
After a slight pause, Chen Mu said, "Brother Qi, can you help us find out if Linyebu will increase its purchases this year?"
Qi Yinong said, "Why don't you ask Lin Yebu directly?"
Chen Mu shook his head and said, "If we ask here, it's like urging Forestry to increase purchases, and they ignore us."
"Just explain the situation directly."
After thinking for a while, Qi Yinong began to teach: "You explain the United Nations to them clearly, then ask them about the purchase volume, and tell them that you need to prepare the supply volume in advance."
Chen Mu also thought about it, and shook his head: "It still doesn't work. If we say this rashly, doesn't it mean that we will force the palace if we have achieved results? This will make Lin Yebu think of us, and maybe they will write it down. It will be a stumbling block for us in the future."
"Are you thinking too much?"
"Brother Qi, you still don't understand how difficult it is for us to do small businesses. It's not that I think too much, it's that we have to be considerate!"
Chen Mu said with a bitter face: "Linyebu is our competent department. It is easy to cause misunderstandings when we say anything. It would be better if you, the diplomatic department, can help us communicate."
After pondering for a while, Qi Yinong said angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll help you solve this matter, and I'll contact Lin Yebu later."
"Thanks, Brother Qi."
Chen Mu hurriedly expressed his thanks, and then said: "When contacting, you must be careful, but don't offend us."
"Tsk..."
Qi Yinong showed an angry and funny expression: "What do you mean, I really became your errand runner?"
"No, no, Ning is the leader, we thank Ning!"
"You kid, don't play poor with me. When I leave later, just get me a few catties of tea."
"How many catties? How can I have it?"
"I don't care, you find a way to solve it yourself."
Qi Yinong snorted coldly, saw a white man over there beckoning to him again, he seemed to want to ask some questions, so he walked over quickly.
Chen Mu could only follow along, secretly swearing that these guys were all staring at his tea leaves. I am afraid that the little inventory at home would not last long.
At night, the group lived in Baza Village.
Among the few officials in the United Nations, most of them are scholars, and only three or four are real transactional officials.
Scholars began to ask Chen Mu about saplings. They didn't mean to inquire about technical aspects, but just asked about the characteristics of plants.
Facing the questions of the guests, Chen Mu basically knew everything and said everything.
Chen Mu's straightforwardness immediately made Qi Yinong's eyes widen, and he gave him winks several times, as if to make him be careful not to reveal the technical secrets.
At the same time, those guests also appreciated Chen Mu's frankness very much, and they all called him "Mu" and "Mu" in the end, very affectionate.
The main reason why Chen Mu "speaks freely" is that he has the bottom line in his heart. No one can use his vitality points like him. Even if he does the matter of raising seedlings in front of these people, they will not learn it, so it doesn't matter what you say.
As for other things that have registered patented technology, talking about it in general has no effect.
These people are all experts. Instead of inquiring about technical secrets like this, it is better to take the seedlings back to study, and maybe they can research more things.
Therefore, except for Qi Yinong who was a little worried at the beginning, everyone had a good time this evening and went back to the room early to rest.
The white people were arranged to live in the same yard, which was specially used for entertaining guests in Baza Village.
The house is quite clean, and there is a Datong shop inside. Although the conditions are a little rough, these officials from the United Nations are all year-round travellers, so they are not dissatisfied with the hospitality of Baza Village.
"Everyone, although I think it's incredible, Xia Guo has really made great achievements in preventing desertification. It's really amazing!"
After the white people returned to the room, they didn't sleep. They sat on the bunk and discussed with the oil lamp.
The person who spoke was that the official leading the team this time was Albert, the head of the procurement department, from Litaowen.
He has been in charge of the Procurement Department for more than fifteen years. He is dedicated and has a very good reputation in the United Nations and is a respected official.
No one refuted his words, because everything was obvious to all.
"I'm not an expert, and I don't know much about technology, but after a period of understanding and today's journey, I think I must say that this company called Muya Forestry has indeed mastered very high-end technology, especially They may already be the best in the world at preventing desertification and transforming the environment."
Albert glanced at everyone and said, "If you have no objections, I will propose to add their saplings to the special procurement catalog and increase the purchase of their saplings from this year."
"Mr. Albert, I think we can take another look, there is no need to be so anxious."
At this time, someone spoke.
The man was a blond white man with a fat body, and his whole body looked like a ball.
Albert glanced at the man, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Mr. Carlos, do you have any other ideas?"
The blond white man named "Carlos" said: "Mr. Albert, I admit that this Xiaguo forestry company called Muya Forestry does have unique features in cultivating saplings. But according to my understanding, this Jiaxiaguo Enterprise has only been established for three years, and it is still a very new company. There are many things... Well, including technology, I think it is not yet mature, and no one knows if there will be any problems in the future."
After thinking about what Carlos said, Alberto said, "Mr. Carlos, you are the person in charge of the Development Financing Department, maybe some things are not very clear.
In the past two years, according to the follow-up research conducted by the UNEP, Muya Forestry's saplings have been planted in more than 15 different regions around the world through the channels of the UNEP, and all of them have performed very well.
The average survival rate reaches 90%, the water consumption is only one-third of other saplings, and the growth rate is 2 to 2.5 times that of other saplings...
Because of this performance, the UNEP has come to a preliminary conclusion that Muya Forestry's saplings are very effective in preventing desertification, and they need us to purchase in large quantities. "
After a slight pause, Albert turned his head, glanced at a person on the other side, and asked, "Tariq, am I right?"
The man was an official from UNEP's Asian office, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Albert is right."
In order to let everyone understand the situation better, he further explained: "For a long time, the survival rate of the saplings distributed through our channel is less than 40% after planting, while the saplings of Muya Forestry can achieve a survival rate of 100%. More than ninety is already very amazing.
However, this is not the most important thing. What I want to explain is another situation.
The saplings we distributed were originally difficult to find suitable tree planters due to the low survival rate, and the local people were unwilling to do futile work.
Therefore, the saplings are often wasted and withered. Even in some areas, the saplings have just been planted, but they are pulled up by the local people as firewood, because they think it is useless.
But the saplings of Muya Forestry are different. Their saplings are easy to grow. As long as they are willing to plant them, a small bush will form in just two years. Not only can they effectively block the wind and sand, their branches and leaves can also be used as feed for livestock. The local people The enthusiasm for planting will increase greatly. "
Tariq was originally an academic, but he has been involved in practical affairs for many years and has personally participated in many UNEP projects and programs.
He doesn't have too many other nature's standpoints, so when explaining issues, he always combines actual experience, and his credibility is very high.
He paused for a moment, looked at Carlos sincerely and said: "Mr. Carlos, at the beginning of the year, I went to several villages in the east of Culia, because our million tree planting project started five years ago , has been going on there.
Before the saplings from Muya Forestry were used, the tree planting project there was very difficult, and there was almost no way to move forward.
But recently, the situation has improved greatly because of the batch of saplings we purchased from Muya Forestry.
As far as this issue is concerned, I believe in resultism, as long as it is an action that affects the tree planting plan, I will support it. "
This statement is very clear and fully expresses the position of UNEP.
Carlos was a bit at a loss for words, but after thinking about the two gentlemen he had met before coming to Xia Guo this time, he had to force himself again, and continued to find reasons to insist on his opinion.
"Mr. Tariq, I understand your concerns and understand your views, but I still think our tree planting program is a long-term project to prevent desertification and may be done in a short period of time.
In many cases, we need to observe more wisely instead of making judgments easily, otherwise what awaits us may be serious mistakes.
Please don't forget the past history. The decisions we often make for the interests we see in front of us will always lead to disastrous consequences later.
Muya Forestry is indeed a very good company, and their saplings are indeed very good at present, but they are a very new company after all, and no one knows whether their technology will be flawed or whether it will be used in the future. What serious consequences.
So, at this point, I think we should be a little more deliberate and take things a little slower.
Well, if time proves that there is no problem with their saplings in the future, then it will be a better way for us to use their saplings on a large scale. "
In the room, everyone fell silent.
Even Albert and Tariq, who had been talking before, fell silent at this time.
They could all see that Carlos had a "strong desire" to prevent Muya Forestry from entering the special procurement list.
Even his reasons for supporting this "strong desire" are a bit far-fetched and not convincing.
Perhaps, there are other reasons behind this, something else is involved.
Carlos also seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, and at the same time, he also realized that his reasons were a bit far-fetched and could not be persuaded.
However, after he thought for a while, he chose to continue to finish what he wanted to say: "Maybe we can look at the saplings of other companies. I have recently contacted several American companies. They are all old-fashioned forestry companies. Their Several saplings are also in line with our choice, perhaps no worse than those from Muya Forestry, we can get to know them first, and then make a decision whether to include Muya Forestry in the special procurement list."
Albert frowned and looked up at Carlos.
Carlos met Albert's gaze without flinching: "Mr. Albert, I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion. The most important requirements for goods and services in the procurement of our country are quality, safety and It is practical, and at the same time, suppliers are required to pay attention to reputation and operate transparently. In terms of these points, Xia Guo’s enterprises have not been doing well.”
After a slight pause, Carlos said with reason and evidence: "I must remind you that for many years, the annual procurement amount of international procurement organizations has exceeded trillions of dollars, and the share of Xiaguo enterprises has not been high, and has been hovering for a long time. It is around 1-2%, from this point of view, Xiaguo Enterprise has never been our best choice."
Albert, as the person in charge of the procurement department, of course knows whether Carlos' words are in line with the actual situation.
Although Xia Guo has become a big manufacturing country, Xia Guo's enterprises have always been very weak in terms of international public procurement.
There are many reasons for this, and Albert has a certain understanding, but that is a problem that Xiaguo Enterprise needs to solve itself, and it is beyond his control.
What he cares about now is Muya Forestry. This Xiaguo enterprise is a bit special, and it has attracted his attention since a long time ago.
