Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

v2 Chapter 82: You can't be polite

Monsanto...

   This company is so thrilling!

  Whether it was the Agent Orange that it relied on, the later genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified corn incidents, the later manipulation of soybean planting in North and South America, or the sale of seeds bundled with glyphosate, this company seems to have done nothing good.

   Although Qi Lei didn't know much about this company, later generations have also read many stories about this company in various self-media.

   The most famous and closely related to my rabbit is probably genetically modified soybeans.

   Logically speaking, the origin of soybeans is my rabbit, and the main consumer country is also my rabbit. In the 1990s, the planting area abroad was not large.

  Before 1994, my rabbit basically maintained a balance between supply and demand of soybeans and did not need to import.

   However, after 1994, with the improvement of people’s living standards, they began to advocate a balanced nutrition for the whole people, and the demand for soy milk and other soy products increased rapidly.

  Since that year, the annual soybean imports have doubled and increased. From almost no imports before 94, to 99 years, nearly 10 million tons of soybeans have been imported.

   You must know that the domestic soybean production capacity is only more than 10 million tons, which is almost half and half.

   Monsanto also saw business opportunities during this period and began to focus on genetically modified soybean projects.

   It seems that Monsanto introduced the first generation of genetically modified soybeans to China around the year.

   Then... sturdy pitted me.

   How can I say that this company is hateful? If it is a normal business behavior, it's okay to say, the key is that this grandson is playing yin.

  He first registered patents in more than one hundred countries around the world, and then gave them to farmers in the country for cultivation. This is a bit like Qi Lei said, the taste of the system is free to install.

Because his soybean seeds have an advantage over the original domestic bean seeds in terms of yield and oil yield. Of course, his calculation is that if you are used to my bean seeds, you will definitely not be able to change back to the original bean seeds. Sell ​​you seeds at a high price.

   Moreover, there is another thing about this company that people hate, that is, you have to sign an agreement to buy his seeds.

   After planting the grain, the farmer cannot keep his own seeds, and must buy his seeds next year.

   Moreover, to buy his seeds, he also has to buy his high-priced herbicides. In fact, he wants to monopolize the upper reaches.

   But, he has found the wrong place, do you eat this set in China?

  Unable to see it, Monsanto took the domestic farmers to court and prohibited the domestic use of their seeds.

   Then he began to expand the soybean industry abroad. A few years later, when all the soybean producing areas in North and South America were replaced by his genetically modified soybeans, Monsanto's fangs finally appeared.

   Control the international soybean price from US$2,200 per ton to more than US$4,000 per ton.

  At this time, my rabbit's soybean consumption has basically relied on imports, accounting for more than 80%. It is too late to deal with it and can only be slaughtered by others.

   From that time on, I started to attach importance to food security and promoted seed projects.

   Many years later, Monsanto and several other international grain merchants made a comeback and made a fuss on wheat, preparing to replicate the soybean tragedy.

   But it turned out that my rabbit had been prepared, and came home with a feather.

   can finally find the place.

   But I didn’t expect that, why did Monsanto even hit the rice seed? This is something Lei Qi has never heard of in later generations.

  Well, Qi Lei actually doesn't know. To be precise, Monsanto didn't have the idea of ​​Shangbei Rice Plant.

   What they want to build is a sample bank of global species, not only in China, but Monsanto's shadow all over the world.

   They collected samples of animals and plants, carried out mapping and analysis of genetic maps, and then provided materials for their advanced genetically modified laboratories. This is where Monsanto can monopolize nearly 100% of the genetically modified market in later generations.

   Let’s put it this way, in agricultural production, there are two factors that have the greatest impact on crop yields: one is insect pests; the other is weeds.

  The way farmers deal with pests is usually to spray a lot of pesticides. Its side effect is pesticide residues, which can easily exceed the standard.

  The most common way to deal with weeds in the world is to spray "glyphosate herbicide", but this herbicide is a "broad-spectrum herbicide" that can kill almost all green plants, including crops.

   Therefore, when spraying, farmers either have to use it before the crops have sprouted, or they have to carefully aim at the weeds so as not to damage the crops.

   The reason why Monsanto dominates the genetically modified seed industry is that he has solved these two problems by using "genetically modified" methods.

   For example, Monsanto’s "insect-resistant" corn seeds are implanted with a gene fragment called "Bacillus thuringiensis".

   This bacillus is a gram-positive bacterium that has insecticidal activity against insects of the order Lepidoptera.

   The main pests of corn, such as corn borer, armyworm, cotton bollworm, etc., are all Lepidoptera. If you eat insect-resistant corn implanted with this gene, you will feel sad. In this way, the corn itself can prevent insects without spraying insecticides.

   In terms of herbicide resistance, we said above that "glyphosate herbicide" can kill almost all green plants, but there are exceptions. A plant called "petunia" will not be killed.

   Monsanto implanted the genes of "petunia" into soybeans, corn, cotton and other crops, so they were not afraid of glyphosate.

how to say?

  Science has no distinction between good and evil. Technology is a good technology, absolutely leading the world.

   But whether it is safe or not, this can only be measured by time and conscience.

   Of course, Monsanto has always had no conscience, and safety issues are not within its considerations.

   It's not good to say that, there are many people in Yingjiang's country who don't wait to see it. If something happens, he will be punished to death, but he can't stand it because he earns a lot, and he has no opponents.

   At this time, holding Xu Xiaoqian's hand, the two cuddling in the pavilion, looking at the distant landscape, Qi Lei felt a little uncomfortable.

  'S Xu Xiaoqian didn't know the meaning of what those foreigners said. Okay, Xu Qian could understand a little bit, but she didn't understand the meaning. Don't even know what Qi Lei's expression is.

how? Are my hands rough? What are you frowning?

   What Qi Lei is actually worried about is: You know that this silly company b is not a good thing, but now...you can't do anything with him.

   Although the country currently has the concept of food security, it has not yet expanded to the level of meticulousness in later generations. And Monsanto is reasonable and legal, and you have nothing to do with him.

   To put it bluntly, even if Qi Lei responds to Lao Zhangren, or even Lao Qin, it will not necessarily be taken seriously. This is not the same as the last time. A biological sample is collected only, and this kind of foreign company must have reported to the relevant authorities.

   Even if Qi Lei tells the situation of the future generations, it is at best associative.

   Besides, you let me see you a few years earlier!

   If you don’t rush to anything else, you will rush to the future generations of my rabbit’s losses on soybeans. Even if you have to buy your genetically modified soybeans, you have to try to prevent it.

   But now, at this time, the soybeans should have been successfully developed, even if it is too late to do something.

   I cannot help my rabbit because of this. My rabbit has actually done a good job. Even after twenty years, they didn't let their soybean seeds in.

   However, such a large increase in soybean consumption cannot be controlled. You can't grow it in the world, but you can't stop others from growing it!

   I don’t want to buy it!

   "Oh!" sighed leisurely, Qi Lei who listened to the wall was very upset.

   But Manager Wen and Maguire over there didn't know what Qi Lei was in, and they continued to work while chatting.

   Apparently, Manager Wen didn't understand Maguire's work, but was temporarily pulled in to act as an interpreter to deal with unexpected guests like Qi Lei who suddenly broke in.

   "Dr. Maguire, why are you loyal to this kind of mechanical work? In our view of finance, the returns are too low."

   Maguire smiled, "Maybe this is the difference between finance and scientific research."

"You are loyal to tricks. Just like now, you and Dong are cooperating to export and re-import Shangbei's rice. You just need to make a round at sea to make high profits. This is the opinion of our scientific researchers, Worthless!"

   Manager Wen laughed when he heard that he was offended. The voice was not loud, but proud, "Dr. Maguire, but it is such a meaningless thing, and you Monsanto are also involved in it! Dong is using the Monsanto brand to package Shangbei rice."

  Xu Xiaoqian: "......"

   Qi Lei, "..."

   Although the literary manager speaks very fast and deliberately lowered his voice, in this quiet environment deep in the mountain top forest, he still heard a general idea, and both of them felt like they had come to realize it.

   It turns out that Dong Zhanlin intends to make quick money like this, no wonder!

   Xu Xiaoqian looked at Qi Lei without a trace, "I'm going to tell my dad!"

   Qi Lei shook his head slightly, squeezed Xu Xiaoqian's hand, "Don't worry, listen again."

   At this time, Manager Wen also glanced at the pavilion subconsciously, and saw that the two had already hugged each other, completely forgetting themselves, and felt relieved.

   And still smiling in his heart, looking back, I can make use of the relationship between the two children with Dong Zhanlin.

   Stop talking about business matters, and said to Maguire, "Go on."

Maguire shook his head, "Finance is the moth of society. I don't like tricky behavior. Unlike scientific research, we must explore step by step. As long as we enrich the genetic library of biological samples, we can find more. Better excellent research materials."

  Manager Wen nodded, Maguire belongs to the standard image of a technician, high IQ, low EQ, you can't care about him too much.

   "Maybe you are right, but the world needs finance and scientists."

   Maguire nodded in agreement, and then added, "But science must be more important than finance!"

   Manager Wen turned black and decided not to talk to this guy any more, so terrible!

   But, he didn't say, Maguire hadn't said enough, he always looked down on those businessmen.

"Wen, what I said is true. Without us, you can't make money. Monsanto can survive today, relying on technology and investment in technology regardless of cost. We invest 3 million U.S. dollars in technology research and development every day! "

   Wen Manager: "......"

   Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian are also stupefied over there, 3 million... and what's special is the U.S. dollar, equivalent.

   It seems that Monsanto’s achievements in genetically modified technology are not accidental.

There, Maguire continued to show off to Manager Wen, “The projects we are developing include soybeans, corn, wheat, cotton and rice, covering almost all major grains in the world. The company’s future development strategy is also centered on us. The research started."

   "In the near future, Monsanto's genetically modified food will rule the world, including your financial industry!"

   This is not without exaggeration, the manager can't bear it anymore.

   "Dr. Maguire, I think you should keep a low profile! Don't forget, this is not the United States. Be careful with your business opponents, and don't underestimate China's mobilization capabilities."

   glanced at Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian over there, "If these words are spread, they will do everything possible to surpass you!"

   But not wanting, Maguire laughed loudly, "Chinese? Stop kidding!"

   also glanced at Qi Lei and Xu Qian over there, "Don't say they don't understand us, even if they understand, there is no way."

  Manager Wen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Maguire, "GMO technology, the Chinese are too backward, they are still very primitive, not up to our level. Even if we do nothing, wait for them 20 or 30 years, they still can't catch up. "

   "Listen, what can you do?"

   Maguire smiled, this person has no emotional intelligence, "This is called absolute strength, without any fancy!"

   Over there, Xu Xiaoqian's teeth are all crushed!

   This is not someone who is accustomed to being bombarded by the media in later generations, let alone listening to others telling stories through the screen of your mobile phone!

   This is 99 years...

   A boy in the system, his heart is right!

   in front of her, making irresponsible remarks, openly mocking...

   Xu Xiaoqian is trembling all over! Too bully!

   However, I was unable to refute it. Because what Maguire said is right, our country is indeed a little bit behind in many ways.

   In fact, it's not just a little behind.

   My rabbit's first "GMO Development and Business Plan" was issued in 1999, and it was a few months later.

   Even after twenty years, my rabbit will rise, but in terms of genetic technology, the high patent barriers built in the West make it difficult for my rabbit to surpass, and I can only endure it silently.

   In fact, many domestic industries fail to develop, and patent barriers are the main reason.

   At this time, Xu Xiaoqian's face flushed, and it was the first time I realized what shame is! And the source of this feeling is not my fault...

   just because your homeland is behind...too poor!

   Xu Xiaoqian suddenly understood why Tang Yi ran to the capital to protest.

   Maybe Tang Yi was in the same mood as her at that moment.

   looked at Qi Lei with a cold face and scared: "I'm angry..."

   Seeing Qi Lei is also violent in his cheeks! In response to the words of future generations, except me...no one can say that she is bad!

   is the time of anger,

But Maguire is still showing off, "Let me give you an example. Just last month, we found a wild soybean sample in Mudanjiang. After preliminary measurement, this sample is better than your existing soybeans in China. The oil output rate is 16% higher."

"Do you know what this means? My laboratory has solved the problem of soybean herbicide resistance and yield. As long as the fat-rich gene of this wild bean is added to my results, then I will create a, Soybean varieties with high yield, herbicide resistance, and higher oil yield."

   "At that time, the largest soybean consumer market in China will be your businessmen!"

   "Then you said, is the credit for me, or is it for you to do finance?"

  ...

   Maguire is showing the superiority of his scientist.

   But I heard this in Qi Lei's ear...that's another matter.

   "Huh~~~~!?" Here Qi Lei raised his brows, and saw the light!

  What the hell? You haven't made genetically modified soybeans yet? Moreover, the source is Northeast wild soybeans?

  This thing...it's kind of interesting.

   Originally, Qi Lei had little knowledge of Monsanto's affairs. He really didn't know that Monsanto's genetically modified soybeans originated in China, and they came from Longjiang.

  According to his inference, genetically modified soybeans came out recently, and it should have been in the laboratory for a long time.

   How can I think there is such a thing?

   Then this...

   I didn't think of a good way, but now I send it to the door by myself.

   whispered to Xu Xiaoqian: "Did you hear me clearly?"

   "He said he wants to monopolize our soybean market."

   Xu Xiaoqian bit her lower lip, with an angrily look on her face: "Well, I heard you clearly!"

   "I want to tell my dad not to cooperate with them."

   Qi Lei laughed in his heart. This is really not going to die if you don’t want to die. How could it be that simple to tell the old man?

   chuckled, "This is not a question of non-cooperation."

  Xu Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

   Qi Lei Yin**, "This is giving us a big gift!"

   Although Xu Xiaoqian didn’t know what Qi Lei was talking about, she licked her lips instinctively.

   Then, "Fuck him?"

   Qi Lei, "Get him!"

   Pulled Xu Xiaoqian up, "Go, the light bulb is uncomfortable, let's go back!"

   Over there, Manager Wen and Maguire looked over and were very happy, and finally left.

   However, Qi Lei greeted Maguire enthusiastically, "Goodbye~!"

  Maguire is inexplicable, are you familiar with you?

  ......

   After going down the mountain, Qi Lei went directly to the guest room of the resort and made a phone call in the room.

   "Hey, Lao Bei, I'm Qi Lei, don't you remember me?"

   The old Qin on the opposite side is quite strange, how come this kid has been found again after only half a month after seeing each other?

   "Something?"

   Qi Lei, "I have something, I want to respond to you."

  Old Qin, "What's the matter?"

   As a result, Qi Lei's first sentence shocked Old Qin in sweat.

   "Someone wants to monopolize our soybean market! Raise prices, manipulate the food lifeline! And control our jobs!"

All right...

   Maguire just said: This largest soybean consumer market is the world of you businessmen.

   As a result, Qi Lei added fuel and jealousy, pulling out so much. To put it bluntly, doesn't Maguire know that I am so ambitious?

   The old Qin who was across from him was stunned. The first reaction was what the **** did your kid do? Have you run into such a life-and-death event again?

"what happened?"

  So, Qi Lei told Lao Qin what Maguire had just said on the mountain, and specifically mentioned that they would use wild soybeans from the northeast to cultivate genetically modified soybeans and monopolize the domestic soybean market. Of course, it's exaggerated.

   But it's not exaggerated to hear Xu Xiaoqian's ears, she is getting angry! Qi Lei said nothing too much!

   And, listening to Qi Lei's tone, the opposite should be his family acquaintance, who can take care of this!

  Xu Xiaoqian immediately across the phone...

   "What the stone said is true! I heard it too! Uncle, please do it! They are going to beat us with our things, so angry!"

   This made Lao Qin have to pay attention to it. He said that the lives of these two children were really extraordinary, and did they really listen to something terrible?

   Why can't I touch it?

   I pondered on the phone for a long time, and finally, "Okay, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This situation is very important, we know, you don’t have to worry about it."

   "It's over?" Qi Lei stared, and once we know it, it's over?

   Old Qin Ze said, "Otherwise? People are compliant and legal, what do you want? We are also reasonable people."

   Well, the legal principles still need to be explained, but the situation provided by Qi Lei is indeed worthy of attention, and some preparations can be made in advance.

   But I didn’t expect Qi Lei to be reluctant, "What are you going to do? Tell me about it?"

   Old Qin smiled and joked: "This is not something you should be concerned about, right? Or, are you coming to us? We must give you a good talk."

   Qi Lei narrowed his neck, "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

   Old Qin was speechless, "Then don't ask."

   "Don't!" Qi Lei quit, "Why don't you come to me? I have to treat them, and it must be better than yours!"

  Old Qin: "......"

   When others say this, Lao Qin may be regarded as bragging and irrational, but Qi Lei...

   Still the same sentence, this kid is evil!

   pondered for a long time, "Are you sure?"

   Qi Lei, "For sure!"

   Old Qin, "We will arrive tomorrow morning."

  ......
