Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1640 Good News Brought by Lin Shiyin

"The Hornschuch Group acquisition contract?" Jiang Chen remembered.

Hornschuch Group is a leading manufacturer of design films, functional films, foam films, and compact films, as well as synthetic leather, with products widely used in industrial sectors (furniture, construction, and automotive) and the Do-it-Yourself neighborhood.

As early as last year, Jiang Chen and Chen Qianqian had already decided to acquire the Hornschuch Group.

However, since the acquisition of the Hornschuch Group was carried out under the name of Chenxi Auto City, Jiang Chen did not interfere much.

I didn't expect that the acquisition would be successful now.

According to available information, Hornschuch employs more than 1800 people at four production sites in Germany and the United States, and conducts research and development and production of skin materials for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and other important industries at seven locations in Germany, Continental, Mexico, Poland and Spain.

“Yes. I’ve reviewed the contract, and there are no problems,” Yu Qingqing replied.

"Then let's go through the procedures," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Yu Qingqing knew that the Jiang family had Temple Technology and wasn't lacking in technology. The reason they acquired the company was because they wanted its features. After all, it takes a long time for a company to be set up and run normally.

"I feel at ease with you here," Jiang Chen smiled.

It's impossible for employees to treat the company like their home.

But Yu Qingqing is a member of the Jiang family.

"President Jiang, there are now five president's offices, including Li Qian's, right? It won't be long before we can take them all over, will it?" Yu Qingqing looked at Jiang Chen with a half-smile.

"Hehe." Jiang Chen chuckled.

What is the CEO's office?
He needs to have his people in every department of the Star Group.

Yu Qingqing rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.

How could she not understand Jiang Chen's character?

“Now that the important matter is settled, we…” Jiang Chen’s hands started to wander.

"I still have to go to work." Yu Qingqing did not stop Jiang Chen's hand, but said, "Mr. Jiang, if there are no unexpected events, you will be going to the United States tomorrow, so you should go to work first."

The end of this month is the date when Baisai Group will be listed in the United States, and Jiang Chen has already made arrangements to go to the United States.

"Alright then." Jiang Chen didn't necessarily need to talk to Yu Qingqing at this time; he wasn't in such a hurry as he was a few years ago.

"Then I'll go to work now." Yu Qingqing kissed Jiang Chen and then said, "President Jiang, if you can't resist, you can go to the president's office. Aren't there many reserve teams there?"

"..." Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen taught Yu Qingqing a harsh lesson.

After a while, Yu Qingqing finally left Jiang Chen's embrace, then straightened her clothes, composed herself, and left the president's office.

After Yu Qingqing left, Jiang Chen continued working.

Just as Yu Qingqing said, he had a lot of work to do, so even if Yu Qingqing wanted to stay, he didn't have that much energy.

Shortly after Yu Qingqing left, Nie Xingchen and the others came to report on their work.

There are many different kinds of work to do.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen's efficiency in handling various matters has improved considerably.

After finishing his work at Xingchen Group, Jiang Chen went to Hengshi Group.

"Mr. Chen..."

Even after learning Jiang Chen's true identity, Tang Lili still felt a little awkward calling him "President Chen".

"How's the company doing now?" Jiang Chen asked.

Tang Lili had already revealed her identity, so when Jiang Chen was not at Hengshi Group, Tang Lili was fully authorized to handle Jiang Chen's work on his behalf.

"Everything is normal at the company now," Tang Lili replied.

"That's good." Jiang Chen opened the file and began processing it.

Tang Lili looked at Jiang Chen with a fascinated gaze.

This is the man she's with.

I thought following Jiang Chen would only bring wealth, but now I realize I was too narrow-minded.

Although Jiang Chen and she don't spend much time together normally, even ordinary couples don't spend all their time together. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the seven-year itch, and there wouldn't be the saying that feelings fade like water.

The world is fair; for every gain, there is a loss.

She had known this since she was a child.

"Lili, how's your cultivation going these days?" Jiang Chen asked.

“I cultivate every day…” Tang Lili quickly replied.

Cultivation can increase lifespan and maintain youth forever, so Tang Lili is more dedicated to cultivation than to her work.

“We’re going to the Fourth World in two months, so you can start preparing in advance.” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “For example, if you get bored, you can bring some movies and TV shows.”

“Well… can’t we go to Daming Palace? We just need to store it in Daming Palace, wouldn’t that be enough…” Tang Lili didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

"Yes, that's true. I forgot about that." Jiang Chen nodded.

Many books from the First World were available in Daming Palace. In addition, Daming Palace also had generators and other modern equipment. Therefore, when going to other worlds in the future, there was no need to think about what to bring with them, as Daming Palace was a huge warehouse.

Moreover, with the development of the Jiang family, the things in the First World are not the best.

“We can make a unified plan,” Tang Lili said.

"I'll make the arrangements," Jiang Chen nodded.

Upon hearing this, Tang Lili stopped talking.

She knew she hadn't been with Jiang Chen for long and didn't have any particular advantage in terms of ability. In the Jiang family, looks weren't an advantage, so improving her abilities was the most important thing.

While handling his work, Jiang Chen also discussed work matters with Tang Lili.

Jiang Chen finished his work in just one hour.

Of course, these were tasks that Jiang Chen had to handle; Tang Lili helped with everything else.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had also learned about the company's recent events through Tang Lili.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, Ms. Li Yi from the Public Relations Department has come looking for you several times, but you haven't been there." Speaking of Li Yi, Tang Lili's eyes flickered, and she looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully.

"Li Yi? Have her come over," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay," Tang Lili replied, turning and leaving the office.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

His feelings for Li Yi weren't very obvious, so he didn't know if Tang Lili had noticed. However, even if Tang Lili had, he didn't want her to interfere.

If you want to be his woman, you have to be obedient, not interfere in his affairs.

Soon, Li Yi arrived.

Li Yi came to report on her work.

The report concerns interference with Rockwell Collins, Inc.

Last time, Jiang Chen expressed his intention to acquire Rockwell Collins, Inc.

In order to mentor Li Yi, he entrusted this matter to her.

Listening to Li Yi's report, Jiang Chen understood that Li Yi had put in a lot of hard work during this period.

After listening to Li Yi's report, Jiang Chen inquired about matters related to Rockwell Collins, Inc. However, Li Yi was well-prepared, and her answers were reasonable.

"Li Yi, you haven't disappointed me," Jiang Chen said, holding Li Yi's hand.

“President Chen…” Li Yi’s body stiffened.

As the boss, Jiang Chen's behavior can be described as unethical.

No, it should be said that it's inappropriate.

Jiang Chen is the boss, and she is the employee.

This is some kind of unspoken rule.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked Li Yi with a smile.

"It's nothing, Mr. Chen. I still have work to do. If you don't have anything else, I'll go back to work now," Li Yi said, changing the subject.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen understood Li Yi’s meaning immediately, but he didn’t think much of it. He had plenty of time for Li Yi.

Li Yi left very soon.

Li Yi was visibly flustered as she left.

A smile flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he watched Li Yi leave.

"President Chen." At this moment, Tang Lili walked in.

"Mm." Jiang Chen waved to Tang Lili.

"President Chen." Tang Lili obediently came to Jiang Chen's side.

Jiang Chen told Tang Lili about the Rockwell Collins, Inc. matter: "From now on, when I'm not at the company, you can handle it when Li Yi reports to you."

"Okay." Tang Lili nodded. "Are you leaving in the next few days?"

"I'm going to the United States tomorrow," Jiang Chen said, mentioning the listing of Baisai Group in the US.

Tang Lili knew Jiang Chen's identity, and understood immediately upon hearing this: "President Chen, don't worry, I'll take care of the company."

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

……

In the evening, Jiang Chen finished dealing with the Hengshi Group's affairs and then returned to Shanghai East Suburb No. 1 with Tang Lili.

After arriving at East Suburb No. 1, Jiang Chen went directly to Daming Palace.

After chatting with the women for a while, Yuan Jin'er reported to Jiang Chen about the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden.

Yuan Jin'er is one of the people in charge of the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden.

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Chen decided to visit the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden.

“Okay,” Yuan Jin’er replied.

Soon, Jiang Chen and the others arrived at the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden.

Unlike ordinary medicinal gardens, the Jiang family's medicinal garden can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and plants indefinitely, allowing seeds to rapidly grow into spiritual herbs that are thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years old in a short period of time.

The reason for this is that there is a corresponding formation in the Jiang family's medicine garden.

The Jiang family is a celestial clan, and only they can rapidly grow medicinal herbs to the age of ten thousand years.

A single ginseng plant can be matured into a ginseng that is thousands of years old in just one month.

As for medicinal materials such as lotus seeds and snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, they mature relatively slowly, but they can be matured in a maximum of three months.

The Jiang family's medicinal herb garden covers 100,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 150 mu.

This 150-acre area was divided into four sections.

Among them, ginseng, golden hibiscus, snow lotus, dendrobium officinale, fleeceflower root, lingzhi, and cordyceps are the most widely cultivated. However, although the family is now a celestial clan and can only accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs to ten thousand years old, not all medicinal herbs that reach this age are harvested. At least one acre of herbs such as ginseng, golden hibiscus, snow lotus, dendrobium officinale, fleeceflower root, lingzhi, and cordyceps are left to continue being cultivated.

“Husband, look at these medicinal herbs.” Yuan Jin’er came to the field where Jiang Chen was growing Polygonum multiflorum: “When I came to see them today, I found that there was a problem with these Polygonum multiflorums.”

Yuan Jin'er pointed to the Polygonum multiflorum and pointed out the problem with it.

Jiang Chen looked at the somewhat dried-out he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) and examined it carefully.

This is the first time I've encountered this since I started growing medicinal herbs in the Jiang family's herb garden.

However, Jiang Chen was not familiar with planting medicinal herbs and could not see any problems.

But Jiang Chen immediately thought of the first-tier spirit plant master's inheritance.

At that moment, Jiang Chen carefully examined the inheritance of a first-tier spirit plant master.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen used his mental power to discover black worms under the Polygonum multiflorum.

"There are bugs?" Yuan Jin'er's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw what Jiang Chen had captured with his mental power.

“Yes, you can use your mental power to find it.” Jiang Chen explained the details of the first-tier spirit plant master’s inheritance: “Jin’er, you can start learning about spirit plant masters first.”

“Okay, but what about all this Polygonum multiflorum?” Yuan Jin’er asked.

"Let me check first, then I'll prepare the medicine," Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Yuan Jin’er nodded.

Jiang Chen then examined it carefully.

Previously, the Jiang family's medicinal garden could only be located in the Daming Palace of the First World, which meant a limitation on obtaining medicinal herbs that were ten thousand years old. But now, with the portal fusion talisman, it means that the Daming Palace can go to other worlds with them, which also means that they can obtain more medicinal herbs.

Putting everything else aside, just take the Fourth World as an example. A single trip there takes thirty-three months, and one can harvest ginseng thirty-three times.

This also means that the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden will become increasingly important to the Jiang family.

It took Jiang Chen more than half an hour to prepare the medicine to kill the black beetles.

As soon as Jiang Chen arrived at the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden, Lin Shiyin found him: "Husband, the alfalfa cultivation has been successful."

"It worked?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

What is alfalfa?
It's fodder.

In the First World, alfalfa was known as the "king of forage" and was an important forage crop. It was used as animal feed, poison, medicine, and food for invertebrates, and had environmental and social uses, as well as serving as fuel and food.

Why did Jiang Chen put Lin Shiyin in charge of cultivating alfalfa?

The goal is to cultivate alfalfa into fodder for dragon horses.

Previously, the Akhal-Teke horses obtained through system check-ins primarily ate alfalfa, supplemented with grains, carrots, and other feed. However, after the Akhal-Teke horses evolved into dragon horses, their diet of alfalfa, grains, carrots, and other feed became unsuitable.

Therefore, Jiang Chen planned to use the low-grade spirit field to cultivate alfalfa into a spirit plant.

Because he didn't know how to cultivate ordinary plants into spiritual plants, Jiang Chen could only plant them in low-grade spiritual fields.

"Yes, this is the third time."

Lin Shiyin replied, "The first time, we cultivated semi-spirit alfalfa. The second time, we used semi-spirit alfalfa as seeds for planting. However, the second harvest was a little better than that of semi-spirit alfalfa. This is our third planting, and we finally succeeded."

Alfalfa has a growth cycle of 2-3 years and can be harvested multiple times a year. Harvesting should be done on sunny, dry days to prevent the alfalfa from becoming damp and moldy. The harvesting height is generally 20-30 cm, leaving some growing points to promote the next growth cycle. After harvesting, the alfalfa should be dried and stored promptly to maintain its quality and value.

In the First World, the yield of fresh alfalfa in summer planting is about 3000-5000 catties per mu, and can reach 6000 catties per mu in irrigated land. The yield of fresh alfalfa in superior varieties can exceed 8000 catties per mu.

The Jiang family currently has 60,000 dragon horses, each requiring 10 jin of alfalfa hay daily. Therefore, 60,000 dragon horses would need 600,000 jin of alfalfa hay, which translates to a yield of 600-700 mu (approximately 400-450 acres).

Alfalfa has erect, tufted, or creeping stems that are quadrangular and highly branched; large stipules that are ovate-lanceolate, and leaflets that are obovate-oblong; flowers that are in clustered racemes; pedicels that are bell-shaped, and corollas that are purple; fruits that are spiral-shaped and turn brownish-red when ripe; and small, smooth seeds that are yellow or brown.

Lingzi alfalfa is similar to regular alfalfa, but it is slightly larger.

"With the Spirit Purple Alfalfa, our dragon horses can adapt to it," Jiang Chen said.

The dragon horse is a blood-sweating horse that has been tempered using the blood of a true dragon.

“My lord, currently, planting one mu of low-grade spirit field can produce nearly 10,000 jin of fresh grass (2,000 jin of dry grass). If our dragon horses eat spirit purple alfalfa, our spirit field will not be enough,” Lin Shiyin replied.

"How often is the alfalfa in the low-grade spirit fields harvested now?" Jiang Chen asked.

“It can be harvested once a month,” Lin Shiyin replied.

"Harvest once a month? I remember that ordinary fields are harvested three to five times a year, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes."

Lin Shiyin nodded and said, "Based on the calculation that each dragon horse eats spiritual purple alfalfa hay per day, at least 18,000 mu of low-grade spiritual fields need to be planted with spiritual purple alfalfa to feed 60,000 dragon horses."

"So many..." Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

Currently, the total area of ​​low-grade spiritual fields across several worlds is only 16,100 mu.

Even if all of them were planted with alfalfa, it would be far from enough.

Moreover, the use of only Spirit Purple Alfalfa is far from enough for the Dragon Horse; it also needs other spiritual plants.

“It will take us a long time to cultivate Spirit Purple Alfalfa. It will also take a long time for all the dragon horses to eat Spirit Purple Alfalfa,” Lin Shiyin said.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen nodded: “Next, I will try to obtain a spiritual vein and then settle it in the Mulan Hunting Grounds to cultivate spiritual fields.”

"Can we cultivate spiritual fields just because we have spiritual veins?" Lin Shiyin asked.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

Places with spiritual veins can be cultivated into spiritual fields.

That's what they say in those fantasy novels, but he didn't know exactly how many spirit fields could be cultivated. Experimentation was needed to determine the exact number.

"My lord, spiritual veins can be used to cultivate spiritual fields. So, in places where there are spiritual veins but spiritual fields cannot be cultivated, can we plant spiritual purple alfalfa?" Lin Shiyin asked.

“You mean…” Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Take a low-grade first-tier spiritual vein as an example: its length is three kilometers, and its influence extends to a radius of six kilometers. Besides cultivating spiritual fields, there seem to be many other places where, if we were to plant spirit purple alfalfa, wouldn't that be…

If the spiritual veins were placed on the grasslands, wouldn't it be easier to grow spiritual alfalfa? Wouldn't that save the need for spiritual fields? After all, it would be too wasteful to use spiritual fields to grow spiritual alfalfa on a large scale.

"Mm." Lin Shiyin nodded.

"Next time there are other spiritual veins, I'll settle them in the grassland and see if I can grow spiritual purple alfalfa." Jiang Chen thought it was worth a try.

“My husband, I have another idea,” Song Xihu suddenly said from the side.

"Oh, what are your thoughts?" Jiang Chen looked at Song Xihu.
