Chapter 63: Assistance and Awards (Ch 810411036)

It’s still the same auditorium as in the morning.
There are two topics for the symposium in the afternoon.
First, we will focus on supporting the development of backward areas and contribute to the poverty alleviation cause.
The second is to award the Technology Breakthrough Award, Technology Innovation Award, and Industry Emerging Enterprise Award.
The person who chaired the meeting was still Dong Baicheng, president of the Fisheries Association.
Dong Baicheng did not drag his feet after he came on stage. After speaking for more than ten minutes, he got to the point: “This year, the province has given our aquatic products association the task of focusing on supporting the southern part of Jiangxi. Everyone can speak freely and express their opinions.”
Many CEOs on the stage also offered suggestions and advice one after another.
However, this matter has little to do with Jiang Miao, because the overall cost of eel farming is relatively high, southern Jiangxi is not a traditional eel farming area, and there is no local dietary habit of eating eels.
Therefore, even if he asked Hailufeng Company to help, he would be powerless.
Of course, in recent years, many farmers have indeed started raising eels in northern Jiangxi. This is mainly because the water quality in northern Jiangxi is relatively good, which is conducive to raising high-quality eels.
But the southern Jiangxi region does not have this foundation.
It would be too costly and risky to let poor households raise eels without any foundation.
Therefore, Jiang Miao did not dare to make any promises casually.
This high-risk breeding industry is not suitable as an industry to help poor households.
If you are not careful, it will backfire.
Researcher Hu Fei, who was standing by, also reminded in a low voice: “Boss Jiang, your company’s eel fry are not suitable for helping poor households.”
“I know that this high-cost, high-risk industry is really not suitable.”
“I’m glad that Mr. Jiang understands.” Hu Fei nodded slightly. He was afraid that Jiang Miao was young and energetic and would go to southern Jiangxi to help with eel farming.
After a while, researcher Hu Fei asked in a low voice: “Mr. Jiang, have you thought about your acceptance speech?”
“I’ve thought about it.” Jiang Miao replied with a smile.
In fact, the Fisheries Association informed him this morning about Hailufeng Company’s award. After all, he needed to go on stage to give his acceptance speech, so they would definitely inform the winning company in advance.
Hailufeng Company won two awards in total, namely the Technology Breakthrough Award and the Industry Emerging Enterprise Award.
The Breakthrough Technology Award was naturally for the artificial breeding technology of eels.
As for the Industry Emerging Enterprise Award, this aspect mainly considers the company’s establishment time, regional influence, revenue status and employee size.
Hailufeng Company is well-deserved of these two awards.
In fact, Jiang Miao didn’t care too much. After all, this kind of small regional award was just a title. Unless it was a national award, it would not be of much value.
If many companies want it, they can just take the money and run it, and as long as the company is not too bad, they can usually get it.
For example, outstanding enterprises in XX city, top ten enterprises in XX industry, etc. Any well-known enterprise will have at least two or three such medals.
Hu Fei continued in a low voice: “Mr. Jiang, your company has good development prospects. I am very optimistic about the future of your company.”
“Does Researcher Hu want to join our company? If so, I would definitely welcome him!” Jiang Miao replied half-jokingly.
Hu Fei shook his head: “My whole family has settled down in Yangcheng, so it’s not convenient for me to work outside. Besides, the job of a researcher is actually okay. As long as I don’t want to be promoted, I don’t need to worry too much.”
“That’s right. After all, it’s a stable job.”
However, Hu Fei changed the subject and said, “A child of my relative is looking for a job recently, but his major is not suitable for your company, otherwise I would have shamelessly recommended him to Mr. Jiang. He is the son of my wife’s brother, and I have been helping him find a job recently.”
“Oh? What’s your major?”
“Environmental engineering.”
“This major! This major is suitable for the civil service exam!”
Hu Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head: “That’s what I suggested too, but unfortunately the kid doesn’t like the atmosphere within the system.”
“In fact, our company can also accept him, but the salary of Hailufeng Company is relatively low. As an environmental engineer, if he joins our company, his basic salary will be around 5,500 yuan.”
Hu Fei declined Jiang Miao’s offer: “Mr. Jiang, please don’t force it. You don’t need to hire an environmental engineer.”
“This is not a special position, but our company has expanded very rapidly recently and we do need professional environmental engineers.”
Jiang Miao did not lie.
When I was talking to Mr. Du about the production line this afternoon, he was already thinking about environmental protection related issues.
During the production process of feed factories, the generation of waste gas and waste water is inevitable. If it is a small factory or a factory far away from residential areas, not treating the waste gas and waste water is actually the default unspoken rule of many factories.
However, Jiang Miao did not intend to leave it alone.
Although the company can rely on its influence in the local area to make the local environmental protection department turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, the nearby residents will definitely complain and feel dissatisfied.
For example, there are several aquatic product processing plants and freezing plants on Xiangjiang Avenue in Shanmei City. When the production starts, you can smell a very pungent stench when passing by the roadside.
There are residential areas around those factories. Especially in the summer, the stench from the fish and shrimp intestines is very obvious even from a kilometer away.
Although Jiang Miao knew that with the influence of Hailufeng Company in Magong Town, it could also make the local environmental protection department “invisible” to these things.
But he also knew that this kind of thing was actually consuming the vitality and potential of the company, and at the same time creating a stain on himself and the company.
Therefore, he plans to set up a special environmental protection office to serve the environmental planning and engineering of various industries of the company.
In fact, at this stage, Hailufeng Company really needs to pay more attention to environmental protection.
For example, canning factories, farms, and feed mills all produce large amounts of waste gas and wastewater.
Given the company’s current profitability, there is no need to save millions in environmental protection equipment costs.
“Is Mr. Jiang’s company really looking to recruit environmental engineers?” Hu Fei was skeptical.
“Of course, our company is planning to upgrade some industries recently and will add some environmental protection equipment.”
Hu Fei deeply admires: “It is relatively rare to find a company like Mr. Jiang that takes the initiative to carry out environmentally friendly production.”
“I’ll give my secretary’s phone number to Researcher Hu. If your relative’s child is interested, he or she can come to Magong Town in Hailufeng to apply for the job.”
Hu Fei quickly thanked him: “Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang, but if he does not meet your company’s employment standards, there is no need to force him.”
Just as the two were chatting in a low voice.
The aid issue is finally over.
Entered the award ceremony.
Soon, Jiang Miao received the Industry Emerging Enterprise Award on behalf of Hailufeng Company. There were a total of 10 companies that received this award, just like wholesale.
Next was the Technology Innovation Award, which was also won by 10 companies, including Haijing Company, owned by Jiang Miao’s old acquaintance Gu Haijing.
Finally, Dong Baicheng solemnly announced: “Now let’s announce the winner of the 2025 Annual Technology Breakthrough Award… It is Hailufeng Agricultural Technology Company from Shanmei City. Please invite Mr. Jiang Miao to come on stage to accept the award on behalf of Hailufeng Company and give a speech.”
Snap, snap, snap…
This applause is for the strong.
Jiang Miao went on stage and accepted the medal: “I would like to thank the association and the Agricultural and Forestry Research Institute for their recognition, and also thank our country for its strong support for the development of science and technology. My company and I are deeply honored to receive this award.”
“This award is the greatest reward for all my efforts over the past three years. I will continue to work hard to lead Hailufeng to focus on the present, deepen technology, and bring high-quality and low-cost agricultural products to the people. Thank you all!”
Snap, snap, snap…
Applause broke out again.
