Homecoming of Rebirth

Using Hua Tou'er as a joke, "Time flies so fast, half of my junior year is over."

Xu Xiaoqian, "That's him! I'm only a sophomore, and he's already a graduate student."

Xu Wenliang, "Why don't you just get the certificate as soon as you pass your senior year?"

Xu Xiaoqian, "..."

Xu Wenliang added, "Isn't it justifiable to use it!"

Xu Xiaoqian put on a serious face, "It makes sense!"

Then, he laughed with his father, "Dad, what are you thinking? We are still young."

Xu Wenliang didn't speak, but gradually became serious and stopped talking, obviously he had something on his mind.

Xu Xiaoqian frowned, and quietly entered the kitchen, "Oh! My dad is also a hard worker!"

Qi Lei is a hard worker, Zhang Nan is a hard worker, so is Xu Wenliang, the whole family!

Qi Lei was pouring the vegetables into the pot, and glanced towards the living room, "What my dad said makes sense!"

Xu Xiaoqian frowned, "What makes sense?" She didn't realize it all at once.

Qi Lei had an obscene look on his face, "Either, wait until your senior year..."

Xu Xiaoqian blushed instantly, "Qi Lei!"

And Qi Lei was even more wretched, "Get it! You will have two children in three years, a boy and a girl!"

"roll!"

Xu Xiaoqian turned her head and left the kitchen, two children in three years?

Don't know about Planned Parenthood?Punish you!

……

After a while, the food was ready.

Because Zhang Nan had already called, and he was not at home for dinner, the three of them sat down at the dinner table.

But before he could move his chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Xiaoqian stretched her arms to open the door, "Old Uncle Bei?"

Qi Lei and Xu Wenliang at the dining table were startled, didn't Lao Qin just leave?

Xu Wenliang quickly got up and went to the door, "Comrade Qin, is there anything else?"

Lao Qin smiled embarrassedly, "I left the car keys here."

Xu Wenliang glanced at it immediately, and it was really caught in the crack of the sofa.

Picking it up but not handing it to Lao Qin at the door, he glanced at the dining table, "Why don't we have some together?"

When Lao Qin heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no! There are three of you in your family, so I won't bother you."

Xu Wenliang, "There is Moutai."

Old Qin, "This..."

Xu Xiaoqian dragged Lao Qin in, "Come on, Old Uncle Bei, the rice made of stone is barely edible!"

Old Qin reluctantly said, "Then... eat something?"

The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

Qi Lei never opened his mouth, seriously suspecting that his old uncle Bei's return to the carbine was premeditated, you came here because of the bottle of wine, right?

The four of them sat down, and Xu Xiaoqian added bowls, chopsticks and cups to Lao Qin.

So, Xu Wenliang and Lao Qin had a drink, while Qi Lei and Xu Qian chatted with them.

Both of them didn't let Qi Lei, nor did they ask you if you want to have a drink too.

Because we all know that although Qi Lei knows how to do it, he has no feeling for baijiu, and even has a little disgust.It's okay to socialize and have a few drinks outside, but don't let him spoil things at home.

During the meeting, we also talked about family routines, the head of the family around us, and the experience and perception of bronchitis.

Qi Lei occasionally interjected, and while chatting, brought the topic to the matter of soybeans.

Xu Wenliang didn't want to say anything at first, so he prevaricated a few words and passed it.

But Lao Qin, perhaps for the sake of Moutai, acted as a commentator.

Qi Lei knew a little about the incident, but not in detail.

This time, Lao Qin had a thorough chat with him.

This is how it went.

Genetically modified soybeans are the group of Monsanto experts detained by Qi Lei in 99. A year later, that is, in early 2000, the project has already produced results.

Ordinary people think of genetically modified technology as a rather complicated project, but in fact, as long as a specific plant is found and the gene sequence is completed, the remaining steps are actually not complicated. For top experts in this field, results can be produced soon .

Because, related work, or preparatory work, may have been done for a long time before this.

In short, the genetically modified soybeans produced results in 00 and were planted in the laboratory in 01.

Originally, last year should have entered the stage of large-scale verification.But to be on the safe side, it was delayed for another year, and several rounds of laboratory verifications were carried out.

Only when the seed production technology has truly matured and the barriers to patents have been preliminarily established can we dare to take the next step.

For this reason, Shangbei directly signed an experimental contract in Brazil and Argentina through the central ministries and commissions without even intervening in the province.

Both plots are on the scale of [-] hectares, and large-scale planting demonstrations are carried out.

Once the experiment is successful, it can be announced to the world that China Shangbei has mastered the genetically modified soybean technology that can be used in actual planting, and it can be promoted worldwide.

There are two reasons for the central ministries and commissions to lead the team so much.

First, the ratio of domestic soybean production to imported soybeans has reached 1:1 last year!

Even, the proportion of imported soybeans has exceeded that of domestic soybeans.

Therefore, the sooner new soybean varieties are promoted, the better the domestic demand for soybeans will increase year by year.

The second is...

Do you still remember the high added value of products that Qi Lei told Uncle Geng and Wu Ning in the United States?

In agriculture, seeds are the highest value-added products, and they are also a way out to break the monopoly of the West, and are the key to selling soybeans to 100 yuan.

Let's put it this way, before that, Xu Wenliang was settling accounts every day.

First of all, genetically modified soybeans have a huge advantage over conventional soybeans in terms of oil yield.And due to the characteristics of herbicide resistance, it also has an advantage in yield.

(Traditional soybean varieties are also killed by harsh herbicides, so weeding is a major problem in soybean cultivation.)

Therefore, compared with traditional varieties, new varieties are in a crushing position.

Although it is hard to say how to promote it in China, the above is still very cautious about the application of genetically modified technology.

However, this thing can be planted abroad and sold abroad. This is a big money-making business!

Take 2002 as an example, the world's soybean planting area is about 2000 million hectares, and each hectare needs about 70 kilograms of seeds.

At present, the seed cost of one hectare of traditional soybeans is about 750 yuan, which is equivalent to the soybean seed price of 10 yuan per kilogram.

The Ministry of Agriculture specially sent experts to account for Shangbei, referring to factors such as the rate of increase in production, the cost of pesticides and fertilizers, and the price of seeds for new varieties. Even if the prices are conservative, the cost of seeds can reach 15 yuan per kilogram.

That is, the price of traditional seeds has increased by 50%.

Well, when Lao Qin said this, Qi Lei rolled his eyes.

Are you too conservative?Don't you have the qualities of a profiteer?

However, Qi Lei didn't interrupt and let Lao Qin continue talking.

Since he wants to help, he must understand the doorway here in detail.

In short, in the future, Lao Qin thinks that the price of a ton of genetically modified soybean seeds can be bought at 15000 yuan per ton.

If several major soybean producing areas abroad, 2000 million hectares of soybean arable land are planted with our soybean seeds.

This item alone is more than 200 billion foreign exchange every year!

Although deducting costs, sales channels, and tariffs, etc., it is impossible for Shang Bei and farmers to have so much net profit.

However, the remaining billions are still easy.

You know, although Shangbei's financial revenue has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, with an increase of more than 200%, but even so, last year's financial revenue was only [-] million.

And just this one agricultural research institute has billions, which is enough to turn Shangbei upside down.

Xu Wenliang relied on Shang Bei not to leave, in fact, the main reason was here, he wanted to make this matter happen.

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Not to mention selling to the whole world, the [-]-hectare verified planting has not yet landed, and it is about to die.

Old Qin, "When you went to the United States, the [-]-hectare verification land in Argentina broke the contract."

Qi Lei heard, "Monsanto!"

This time, it was Xu Wenliang who finally answered, "I can only say that these overseas companies have many options. They have filed a patent lawsuit in the Argentine court. Argentine law stipulates that agricultural projects with patent disputes are not allowed."

With a wry smile, "We don't know anything. The 1000 hectares of seeds have been shipped to Argentina, and we were notified that we can't plant them. There is no liquidated damages!"

Qi Lei, "..."

Asked: "What about the thousand hectares in Brazil? Is it also so yellow?"

Lao Qin, "No! The farm we found in Brazil is very reliable, taking this into consideration. Moreover, there is no law in Brazil that prohibits planting in patent disputes."

Qi Lei was puzzled, "Then how did Meng San mess with Huang?"

This time Xu Wenliang and Lao Qin looked at each other with a wonderful expression, "Because that farm went bankrupt!"

Qi Lei, "????"

Xu Wenliang, "Maybe you don't know? It's also because of this incident that we have a deep understanding of Brazil's agricultural situation."

"In the past, we thought that most of Brazil's agriculture was in the hands of several major grain merchants headed by the United States, so in order to avoid trouble, we found a farm that is not controlled by American capital."

"As a result..." Xu Wenliang took a sharp gulp and drank the wine in his glass. "As a result, I only know now that Brazil's grain storage, drying, rough processing, and transportation!!"

"Even!!" The tone became more serious, "Even the shipping terminal is under the control of American capital. And it is completely controlled!"

Qi Lei, "..."

Xu Wenliang, "From fertilizers and pesticides to warehousing and transportation, it is all American capital. Although the cooperative farm we are looking for can decide what to grow, but without these upstream and downstream industries, it means that he can't grow anything!"

"If you are forced by the Americans, you can only break the contract. If you don't plant our soybeans, you would rather pay liquidated damages."

"And that's not the end, maybe it's to kill the chicken and respect the monkey. After breaching the contract, they didn't plan to let that farm go, and they were forced to go bankrupt."

Qi Lei understood, "That is to say, in Brazil, no one dares to plant our soybeans again!?"

Lao Qin, "Now it's not just Brazil, in fact, in the whole of South America, the land and food support are in the hands of Western capital, and it's the same outside of Brazil!"

"There is no lawsuit in Argentina, and there are other means."

To be honest, when Qi Lei wanted to keep that Monsanto expert, he even used unjust means, even threatening his life, just to keep the genetically modified soybeans, Lao Qin actually resisted in his heart.

It's not that he can't accept the despicable means, but that he doesn't think it's necessary, and he doesn't think it's as evil as Qi Lei said.

On the issue of food, the international market is still very fair and just.

Just with an attitude of not losing money and taking precautions, he agreed to Qi Lei's nonsense.

But looking at it now, it's really shocking, and the cold sweat is flowing!

……

Chapter 546 Change Your Thinking

Shocking, cold sweat drenched.

This is not negligence, ignorance, or mistake.

In the past, I also knew about the four major international grain merchants, those international monopoly groups of seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, and what they were doing in other countries.

However, the current atmosphere is like this. Many people in China believe that we can use international cooperation and commercial means to balance this international trade relationship.
