Zhang Xingang said that science and technology is the core force to promote development. Over the years, China Agricultural University has made remarkable achievements in the field of agricultural scientific research, and many research achievements have been widely and deeply applied, which has injected strong impetus into agricultural development. It is hoped that with the support of China Agricultural University, the company will play the role of chain owner, deeply integrate cutting-edge technology and financial means into the beef cattle industry, and realize efficient operation of the whole chain from production to sales. Under the framework of "One Belt, One Road" initiative, practical problems such as the development potential of beef cattle industry in China and the mutual benefit and win-win of global beef cattle industry resources need far-sighted strategic vision, wisdom guidance and professional guidance from a world-class agricultural university like China Agricultural University and many experts. I sincerely hope to establish a long-term and stable friendly relationship with China Agricultural University and jointly contribute to the construction of a powerful agricultural country.
