Chapter 240 DeportationHawker 850xp is a mid-sized business jet and cannot be compared with the luxury business jets on the market. But its advantage is that the aircraft has good take-off and landing performance, requires a low runway length, and can take off and land on gravel and grass. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has also approved this model to land at airports in high-temperature and high-altitude areas such as the northwest. At the same time, the price is right, so Guo Yang is very satisfied with this aircraft. Finally I can fly freely everywhere. After arriving at the airport, under the guidance of the staff, Guo Yang saw the white fuselage from afar, and the winglets also looked beautiful. Led by the crew, Guo Yang visited the interior of the Hawker, which was fully equipped. It was Lao Song who came to pick me up at the airport again today. He got on the plane and said, "This space is really spacious. It has everything for eating, sleeping, and entertainment." Guo Yang sat on the small sofa, touched the table, and said with a smile: "It's pretty good. We can also hold meetings on the plane." After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned and no one spoke.
Are you still thinking about work at this time? After all, in China, only a few people can afford private jets. Faced with this new thing, some people think that it is a game for rich people to show off their wealth. But the boss in front of him seemed to have no such thoughts at all, and only regarded it as a convenient means of transportation. After watching the planes, I rushed to the company. Now there were more than two hours before the end of get off work. Just in time to plan the next trip. Jiuquan was sunny and warm in May, and Guo Yang was thinking about several projects in other places. You must go to the Ferula Gobi Desert. The Altai region enters early spring in May, which is the time for sowing. We also went to Xiangyang Lake to investigate and go fishing. The 10th Division also sent us a cordial invitation. Located in a remote area in northern Xinjiang, if someone is interested in investing, we must seize the opportunity. Also, when he met with Minister Lin, he mentioned Qingtu Lake. This shows that the higher-ups have been paying attention to it, especially since there is an agreement with the top leaders, so Minqin has to go back again. New desert contracts are also about to be implemented... At the same time, the news that someone had bought a private jet spread quickly in this small town, causing a stir. In the past, people only saw cool scenes in the movie world of foreign tycoons flying private planes over forests and across oceans. While I was amazed and envious, I always felt that such noble items were so out of reach. But nowadays, some people in this small northwestern city also own private jets. People fantasize about flying a plane that belongs entirely to them and flying freely in the sky like an eagle. When I embraced the white clouds and kissed the wind, I completely threw away my depression and anguish, as if every cell in my body seemed to relax... When I came back after being away for a few days, everything was still so well organized. As graduation season approaches, Guo Yang also sees many new faces, probably college students coming for internships.
Some of them left a deep impression on him. For example, when everyone is greeting him, there is one person who just ignores it or realizes it too late. It always makes people feel different, and it's always good to have fresh blood. Just as Guo Yang sat down, Ning Xiaojing, wearing a professional suit, walked in and talked about her recent work and documents. Not long after, Xie Shijie also came, "Boss, people from Netero and Monsanto have been to the ranch." "How about it?" "Yu Xiaochuan has already been sent away, and he even signed several large orders in front of Netero's people." Netero is the largest alfalfa seed company in the United States. Yu Xiaochuan's move was equivalent to not giving anyone any face at all. Xie Shijie just felt that he was holding back. Guo Yang picked up the statistical table in his hand and shook it. It was the recent order situation of Muhe. “Orders are OK this year.” Xie Shijie smiled and said, "Hehe, it's all thanks to Mr. Xiang. He worked hard for several years, and I am the one who gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor." It is only May now and the export orders for alfalfa are already close to 70 tons. Alfalfa currently has two alfalfa planting bases in Jinta and Wuyuan, each with an area of 20 mu, with an annual high-quality output of about 100 million tons. In addition, the Wuyuan factory will also purchase high-quality alfalfa that meets export standards from farmers for processing, which also amounts to 40 to 50 tons. The total annual production capacity is approximately 150 million tons. This is equivalent to completing nearly half of the annual sales volume. Although the export price has dropped slightly, it still fluctuates between 2500 and 3000 yuan per ton. The overall output value is still considerable. Guo Yang said: "Let's put things in perspective. Muhe is now in your hands, so you are responsible for it. Lao Xiang has his own tasks." "okay." “Have the Monsanto and Nitro people left?” "No, he's still in the underworld." Guo Yang advised: "Then keep watching, keep a close eye on it. Monsanto is not a good person, not to mention we tricked Monsanto last year." Xie Shijie thought about Yu Xiaochuan's words and said worriedly: "Monsanto may block the germplasm and genes of Jiahe." Guo Yang waved his hands indifferently. "That's just bluffing. Monsanto's weapons are genetically modified soybeans, cotton and sunflowers, and the matching herbicides." "The domestic cotton market is barely manageable now. Sunflower varieties such as SH363 have also emerged, and soybean seeds include Tiandou No. 1. In China, Monsanto cannot cause any trouble." Seeing his boss's confidence, Xie Shijie said, "The revitalization of the seed industry is just around the corner!" Guo Yang shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic. Domestic seed companies are too scattered. In the end, it all depends on Tianhe." "There have always been restrictions on foreign seed companies in China, but using protection to resist shocks is not a long-term solution. After all, seeds with higher performance are beneficial to farmers in increasing production and income.
Just like now, the income gap between soybeans and other crops is getting bigger and bigger, and farmers are not very motivated to plant them, which will also become a new problem. " Xie Shijie vaguely understood something and said, "The fundamental thing is to improve research and development capabilities." Guo Yang smiled and said, "Yes, Tianhe and Muhe are already competitive in the fields of corn and forage grass." "But it is still on the defensive. If we want to go abroad, we need to have stronger breeding and research and development capabilities." Xie Shijie thought of Bi Qiang. Tianhe Scientific Research Institute has been very active recently, with new R&D projects being launched continuously. - Seminis Seeds. "Alfalfa is very protective of its original seed farms, and it is impossible to obtain parent seeds from the breeding farms." Qiu Jianqing's tone was firm. Two years had passed and he was still the manager of the Jiuquan branch. Although the treatment in foreign capital is good, his position has reached its limit and there is no possibility of further advancement. Batty Allen didn't push it too much. He had seen the scene and asked, "Can you dig up some similar salt-tolerant plants and bring them back?" “Preferably wild.” Qiu Jianqing shook his head. "This is illegal. I can't do it. Even if I collect it, you can't take it away." Allen and Barnes looked at each other and sensed the difficulty of the situation. After a moment of silence, Allen said, "Senness's recent performance has declined severely!" Qiu Jianqing nodded and said, "Yes... the sales of hot peppers and cauliflower seeds and seedlings have dropped significantly." Alan looked at him directly, his eyes hinting at a threat: "Do you think you have any responsibility?" "It will be the same if someone else comes." Qiu Jianqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We have already done the publicity work, but we can't compete in terms of price and quality." Allen could feel that Qiu Jianqing's attitude was very firm, so he had to let him get busy. Barnes asked in confusion: "Why not be more forceful? If you were to fire him, he might help." “Nitro is not a global company, but Monsanto is.” Barnes's expression changed unnaturally, but Allen continued to speak: "Qiu is an excellent employee, and Saint Nice needs him." Barnes asked: "So what do we do now?" Not long after, Allen took Barnes to meet a man, Kim Yong-soon from South Korea's Shinong Company. Allen directly stated his purpose: "We need to collect some wild plant seeds, and we need you to come forward." Jin Yongshun agreed without thinking. This was somewhat surprising to Barnes. After Jin Yongshun left, Barnes said, "South Koreans are really docile, like dogs." "Hahaha..." Allen also laughed, "Several South Korean seed companies have now been acquired by Monsanto. How can they not be docile?" "That's true." Barnes lowered his eyebrows and said, "China's germplasm resources are too rich." "Monsanto's initial soybean germplasm resources also came from Huaxia. The high-yield genetically modified Roundup II soybeans we have just cultivated have an output of about 2 kilograms per mu, which is almost twice the output of Huaxia soybeans."
"As long as China relaxes its soybean control, Monsanto seeds will destroy China's soybean industry." “I just hope things will go better for South Koreans.” "We can definitely get it." Alan said confidently. But what they didn't expect was that Muhe's people were watching their every move. Qiu Jianqing and Jin Yongshun of Shinong Company have both dealt with people from Tianhe Seed Industry many times. Therefore, when Jiahe saw Jin Yongshun, who was in charge of seed production, appeared in the city, it immediately aroused Jiahe's vigilance. Five days later, at Jiahe Company. "Boss, there are a few more tourists from South Korea. They seem to be from other parts of the country." Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. The originally planned itinerary had to be delayed because of the discovery of Monsanto's abnormality. His later experiences taught him that there were many plant spies active in the country. "Where did it come from?" "Well... I can only roughly confirm that it is from the southwest region, and it should have been in the country for some time." Guo Yang pondered for a moment. The southwest has many nature reserves and various scenic spots, which are also a treasure trove of plant resources. If it is involved with Monsanto, there is no way to escape. "Okay, take protective measures for Alfalfa. Also, forget it, I'll make the contact." Guo Yang did not dare to delay for a moment and first contacted the Ministry of Agriculture. Unexpectedly, the attitude of the Ministry of Agriculture was somewhat ambiguous. Guo Yang was stunned for a moment before realizing that Monsanto has deep cooperation with domestic companies. Especially in the field of GMOs, China's relevant technology reserves are second only to the United States. However, the Ministry of Agriculture only mentioned some precautions and showed a zero-tolerance attitude towards those who steal seeds. Guo Yang successfully got in touch with the people from the National Security Bureau and provided some accurate information. Finally, after many confirmations, when Jin Yongshun met Allen again, the National Security Bureau arrested him. A large amount of germplasm resources were seized on the spot. These tourists who enter the country under the guise of tourism, disguised as plant lovers, are actually seed spies. In the subsequent investigation of illegal express delivery agencies by the National Security Bureau, many rare wild plant resources were seized. Tubers and rhizomes of some precious species such as snow lotus, alpine rhododendron, and XZ saxifrage. As for the relevant tourists, those who were convicted of espionage were directly imprisoned, while those like Barnes and Buddy Allen were directly deported. After everything was settled, the comrades from the National Security Agency came to Kejiahe and praised Jiahe's actions. "Once these resources are lost abroad, it will bring immeasurable losses to our country." "In addition to economic losses, it will also damage our country's biodiversity, weaken our ecological security and national security, and thus achieve political and military goals."
"Jiahe's actions prove that as long as we take strict precautions, we can definitely prevent it." After seeing off the Guoan people, Guo Yang conspired with Qu Yang and Bi Qiang in the office. "If Tianhe Seeds wants to expand into the global market, it will inevitably involve the collection of global germplasm resources." Qu Yang's eyes flickered, and he understood almost immediately: "We are also sending people abroad?" Bi Qiang said: "To cultivate quality suitable for overseas countries, it is best to set up research and development institutions abroad, but there is never too much germplasm resources, but where to start?" Qu Yang thought for a moment, "We can also disguise ourselves as scholars, tourists, etc., and bribe, lure, and threaten relevant personnel from various countries to help with the theft or provide information." Bi Qiang said: "It is difficult, and it is easy to get caught, causing international disputes and damaging Tianhe's image." Guo Yang was also thinking about how to break the deadlock. Europe and the United States have coveted our germplasm resources since the 19th century, and can be traced back to the East India Company's theft of tea seeds and tea-making technology. There are also Chinese herbal medicine technology and kiwi fruit. These are all lessons from history. Europe and the United States certainly have rare plant resources, but the risk of going to these countries is higher. Suddenly, Guo Yang remembered the Hua Xia Agricultural Reclamation Company mentioned by the Agricultural Development Group. The agricultural reclamation company has invested in more than ten farms in Africa. At the same time, the country also encourages private enterprises to invest in Africa. Guo Yang asked: "What about Africa?" The African continent is also ancient and mysterious, with rich plant resources. Qu Yang and Bi Qiang also nodded. Qu Yang said: "I think Yu Qin will also be very interested. African marigold is an ideal raw material for extracting natural yellow pigment." "What suitable projects does Tianhe have?" "Tianhe can invest in rice farms." Teach Africans to farm? Guo Yang suddenly found it very interesting. It seemed to complement the country's strategy. "Then let's decide on this first, and then perfect the details." Investing in farms in Africa is more of a symbolic meaning for Jiahe, and it can be regarded as a base for collecting resources. What good things are there in Africa? Guo Yang thought of the baobab tree, which cannot survive in most parts of China but has extremely strong water storage and drought resistance properties.
