Monsanto
This company is thunderous!
Whether it is agent orange on which it made its fortune, or the later events of GM soybean and GM corn, or the later manipulation of soybean planting in North and South America, or the sale of glyphosate by seed binding, the company seems to have done nothing good.
Although Qi Lei doesn't know much about the company, later generations have also seen many stories about the company in various we media.
The most famous and closely related to my rabbit should be genetically modified soybean.
Normally speaking, the origin of soybean is our rabbit, and the main consumer country is also our rabbit. The planting area abroad was small in the 1990s.
Before 1994, we basically kept a balance between supply and demand of soybeans and did not need to import.
However, after 1994, with the improvement of national living standards, people began to advocate national nutrition balance, and the demand for soybean products such as soybean milk increased rapidly.
Since that year, soybean imports have doubled every year. From almost no imports before 94 to nearly 10 million tons in 1999.
You know, the domestic soybean production capacity is only more than 10 million tons, almost half.
Monsanto saw business opportunities during this period and began to focus on GM soybean projects.
It seems that around the year of 99 and 2000, Monsanto turned out that my rabbit was ready and failed.
Finally found the field.
But I didn't expect that Monsanto still made up his mind about rice seeds? This is something Qi Lei never heard of in later generations.
Well, Qi Lei doesn't know. To be exact, Monsanto didn't think of Shangbei rice seed.
What they want to build is a sample bank of global species. Monsanto has a shadow not only in China, but all over the world.
They collect animal and plant samples, map and analyze the gene map, and then provide materials for their advanced transgenic laboratory. This is also the foundation for Monsanto to monopolize nearly 100% of the GM market in future generations.
Let's say that in agricultural production, there are two factors that have the greatest impact on crop yield: one is insect pests; Second, weeds.
Farmers usually spray a lot of insecticides to deal with pests. Its side effect is pesticide residue, which is easy to 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 destructive" herbicide, which can kill almost all green plants, including crops.
Therefore, when spraying, farmers either have to use it before the crops sprout, or they have to carefully aim at the weeds to avoid damaging the crops.
The reason why Monsanto dominates the transgenic seed industry is that he has solved these two problems with the method of "transgenic".
For example, Monsanto's "insect resistant" corn seeds were implanted with a gene fragment called Bacillus thuringiensis.
This bacterium, a Gram-positive bacterium, has insecticidal activity against "Lepidoptera" insects.
The main pests of corn, such as corn borer, slime worm and cotton bollworm, are Lepidoptera. Eating insect resistant corn implanted with this gene will be sad. In this way, the corn itself can prevent insects without spraying pesticides.
In terms of herbicide resistance, as we said above, "glyphosate herbicide" can kill almost all green plants, but there are exceptions. A plant called Petunia will not be killed.
Monsanto implanted the gene of "Petunia" into soybean, corn, cotton and other crops, so it is not afraid of glyphosate.
How to put it?
There is no distinction between good and evil in science. Technology is a good technology and is absolutely ahead of the world.
But whether it is safe or not can only be measured by time and conscience.
Of course, Monsanto has always had no conscience, and security issues are not in its consideration.
To put it in a bad way, many people in Eagle sauce don't want to see it. If something happens, they will be punished to death, but they can't stand it. He earns a lot and has no opponent.
At this time, holding Xu Xiaoqian's hand, they snuggled up in the pavilion and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. Qi Lei was a little uncomfortable.
Xu Xiaoqian didn't know the meaning of what those foreigners said. Well, Xu Qian understood some, but she didn't understand the meaning. What's more, she didn't know Qi Lei's expression.
What? Are my hands rough? Why do you frown?
In fact, Qi Lei's worry is: you know this stupid company B is not a good thing, but now... You have no way to take him.
At present, although the country has the concept of food security, it has not been expanded to such a meticulous level as later generations. And Monsanto is reasonable and legal, and there is nothing you can do with him.
To put it bluntly, even if Qi Lei reacts to his father-in-law or even Lao Qin, he may not get attention. This is not the same as the last time. A biological sample has been collected, and this foreign company must have reported it to the relevant departments.
Even if Qi Lei said the situation of future generations, he was at most Lenovo.
Besides, you let me see you a few years earlier!
If we don't do anything else, we'll do something about the losses our rabbits have suffered in soybeans. If we have to buy your genetically modified soybeans, we have to try to stop them.
But now, at this time node, people's soybeans should have been successfully developed, even if it's too late to do something.
Because I can't help it. My rabbit has actually done very well. Even twenty years later, I didn't let their soybean seeds come in.
However, such a large increase in soybean consumption can not be controlled. You don't plant it all over the world, but you can't stop others from planting it!
You can't buy it or not!!
"Alas!" with a long sigh, Qi Lei was very upset at the root of the wall.
But manager Wen and Maguire over there didn't know Qi Lei's mood. They continued to work and chatted.
Obviously, manager Wen didn't quite understand Maguire's work, but was temporarily pulled to act as an interpreter to deal with unexpected guests like Qi Lei.
"Dr. Maguire, why are you so devoted to this kind of mechanical work? In our view of finance, the income is too low."
Maguire smiled, "maybe this is the difference between finance and scientific research."
"You are keen to be loyal and clever. Just like now, you cooperate with Dong to export and re import Shangbei's rice. If you just go to the sea, you have to make high profits. In the eyes of our scientific researchers, it is worthless!"
When manager Wen heard this, he didn't feel offended, but smiled. The voice was not loud, but with pride, "Dr. Maguire, it is this meaningless thing that you Monsanto are also involved in. Dong wants to use Monsanto's brand to package Shangbei rice."
Xu Xiaoqian: "
Qi Lei, "..."
Although manager Wen spoke very fast and deliberately lowered his voice, he still heard an idea in the quiet environment deep in the forest on the top of the mountain. Both of them had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
It turns out that Dong Zhanlin is going to make so much money. No wonder!
Xu Xiaoqian looked at Qi Lei without trace, "I'm going to tell my father!!"
Qi Lei shook his head slightly and pinched Xu Xiaoqian's hand. "Don't worry, listen again."
At this time, manager Wen also subconsciously glanced at the pavilion and saw that the two had hugged together and completely forgot themselves. He was also relieved.
And he was still laughing in his heart. Looking back, he could make use of the relationship between the two children with Dong Zhanlin.
Stop talking about business and say to Maguire, "you go on."
Maguire shook his head. "Finance is the moth of society. I don't like the act of cunning. Scientific research is different. We must explore step by step. As long as we enrich the gene library of biological samples, we can find more and better excellent research materials."
Manager Wen nodded. Maguire is a standard technician with high IQ and low Eq. you can't argue with him too much.
"Maybe you're 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's face turned black and decided not to talk to this guy. Tet is so ugly!
But he didn't say it. Maguire didn't say enough. He always looked down on those businessmen.
"Wen, what I said is true. You can't make money without us. Monsanto can have today by technology, regardless of cost. We invest $3 million in technology research and development every day!"
Manager Wen: "
Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian over there are also surprised. 3 million... What's special is US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 million RMB.
Monsanto's achievements in transgenic technology do not seem to be accidental.
Over there, Maguire continued to show off with manager Wen, "the projects we are developing include soybeans, corn, wheat, cotton and rice, covering almost all major grain varieties in the world. The company's future development strategy also focuses on our research."
"In the near future, Monsanto's genetically modified grain will dominate the world, including your financial industry!"
This is not without exaggeration. Manager Wen can't stand it.
"Dr. Maguire, I think you should keep a low profile! Don't forget, this is not the United States. Be careful of your business competitors, and don't underestimate China's mobilization ability."
Looking at Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian over there, "if these words spread out, they will try their best to surpass you!"
But don't want to, Maguire laughed, "Chinese? Don't be kidding!"
Also looked at Qi Lei and Xu Qian over there, "don't say they don't understand us, even if they understand, there's no way."
Manager Wen frowned, "what do you mean?"
Maguire, "the Chinese people are too backward in transgenic technology. They are still primitive and can't reach our level. Even if we don't do anything, they still can't catch up with them in 20 or 30 years."
"What can I do after listening?"
Maguire smiled, and the man had no EQ, "it's called absolute strength. You don't need any fancy!"
Over there, Xu Xiaoqian's teeth are broken!
This is not the Chinese people who are used to seeing us media bombing in future generations, nor do you listen to others' stories through your mobile phone screen!
This is' 99
A child in the system has a right heart!
In front of her, gossip and openly laugh at
Xu Xiaoqian is shivering! What a bully!
However, it is unable to refute. Because Maguire is right, our country is indeed a little behind in many aspects.
In fact, it's not just a little behind.
The first "GM reverse technology development and business plan" was issued in 1999, and a few months later.
Even after 20 years, my rabbit will rise up, but in terms of gene technology, the high patent barriers built in the west make it difficult for my rabbit to surpass, so I can only bear it silently.
In fact, many domestic industries cannot develop, and patent barriers are the main reason.
At this time, Xu Xiaoqian's face turned red and realized what shame was for the first time! And the source of this feeling is not your own fault
Just because your country is backward... Too poor!
Xu Xiaoqian suddenly understood why Tang Yi went to the capital to protest.
Maybe Tang Yi was in the same mood as her at that moment.
Looking at Qi Lei, his face was cold and frightening: "I'm angry..."
See Qi Lei is also the gill Gang, green veins burst up! In response to the words of later generations, no one can say that she is bad except me!
It's time for 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, the oil yield of this sample is 16% higher than that of your existing soybeans in China."
"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, I will create a soybean variety with high yield, herbicide resistance and higher oil yield."
"At that time, the largest soybean consumption market in China will be yours!"
"Then you say, is it me or you who do finance?"
...
Maguire is showing his superiority as a scientist.
But hearing this in Qi Lei's ear... That's another matter.
"Hmm ~ ~ ~!?" Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and saw the sun through the clouds!!
What? You haven't made GM soybeans yet? Moreover, the source is northeast wild soybean?
This... Is a little interesting.
Originally, Qi Lei knew only a little about Monsanto. He really didn't know that Monsanto's genetically modified soybean originated in China and came from Longjiang.
According to his inference, genetically modified soybeans are coming out recently and should have been in the laboratory for a long time.
What makes you think there's such a thing?
Then this is
I didn't think of any good way, but now I brought it to the door myself.
She whispered to Xu Xiaoqian, "are you clear?"
"He said he would monopolize our soybean market."
Xu Xiaoqian bit her lower lip and looked angry: "well, I can hear you clearly!"
"I want to tell my dad not to cooperate with them."
Qi Lei is laughing in his heart. It's true that he won't die if he doesn't die. How can it be so simple to tell his father-in-law?
Hei hei smiled, "this is not a problem of non cooperation."
Xu Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
Qi Leiyin said, "this is a big gift for us!"
Although Xu Xiaoqian didn't know what gift Qi Lei said, she... Instinctively licked her lips.
Then, "get him?"
Qi Lei, "get him!"
Pull up Xu Xiaoqian, "let's go. The light bulb is uncomfortable. Let's go back!"
Over there, manager Wen and Maguire looked very happy and finally left.
But Qi Lei greeted Maguire warmly, "goodbye ~!"
Do you know Maguire very well?
......
Down the mountain, Qi Lei went directly back to the guest room of the resort and made a phone call in the room.
"Hey, Lao Bei, I'm Qi Lei. Do you remember me?"
The old Qin on the opposite side is quite strange. Why did he find this boy again after meeting him for more than half a month?
"What's up?"
Qi Lei, "I have something to tell you."
Lao Qin, "what's up?"
As a result, Qi Lei's first sentence startled Lao Qin into a sweat.
"Someone wants to monopolize our soybean market! Raise prices, manipulate the lifeline of grain! And then control our rice bowl!"
ok
Maguire said: the biggest soybean consumption market is the world of you businessmen.
As a result, Qi Lei added fuel and vinegar and pulled out so much. To put it bluntly, didn't Maguire know I was so ambitious?
The old Qin on the other side was stunned. His first reaction was what the hell did you do? Did you encounter such a life and death event again?
"What's going on?"
Therefore, Qi Lei stated what Maguire had just said on the mountain to Lao Qin, and specially mentioned that they would use wild soybeans in Northeast China to cultivate genetically modified soybeans and monopolize the domestic soybean market. Of course, it's exaggerated.
But it's no exaggeration to listen to Xu Xiaoqian. She's angry! Qi Lei said nothing too much!
Moreover, listening to Qi Lei's tone of voice, the opposite should be the relationship he knows at home. He can manage this matter!
Xu Xiaoqian was on the phone
"What the Stone said is true!! I heard it too!! uncle, take care of it! They are going to beat us with our things. How angry!"
Lao Qin had to pay attention to it. He said that the two children's lives were really unusual. Did they really listen to the deadly things?
Why can't I touch it?
I pondered on the phone for a long time. Finally, "OK, this situation is very important. We know it. Don't worry."
"It's over?" Qi Lei glared, saying that it's over when we know?
Lao Qin said, "otherwise? Others comply with laws and regulations. What do you want? We are also reasonable people."
Well, the legal principle still needs to be talked about, but the situation provided by Qi Lei is really worthy of attention. You can make some preparations in advance.
But unexpectedly, Qi Lei insisted, "what are you going to do? Tell me about it?"
Lao Qin smiled and joked: "this is not what you should care about? Otherwise, you come to us? We must tell you well."
Qi Lei shrunk his neck, "forget it, I'm afraid I can't come back."
Lao Qin was speechless, "then don't ask."
"No!" Qi Lei quit, "why don't you come to me? I have a way to cure them, and it must be more desperate than yours!"
Lao Qin: "
When others say this, Lao Qin may be regarded as bragging and irrational, but Qi Lei
Still that sentence, this boy is evil!
Pondering for a long time, "are you sure?"
Qi Lei, "I'm sure!"
Lao Qin, "we'll arrive tomorrow morning."

Lao Qin smiled and joked: "this is not what you should care about? Otherwise, you come to us? We must tell you well."
Qi Lei shrunk his neck, "forget it, I'm afraid I can't come back."
Lao Qin was speechless, "then don't ask."
"No!" Qi Lei quit, "why don't you come to me? I have a way to cure them, and it must be more desperate than yours!"
Lao Qin: "
When others say this, Lao Qin may be regarded as bragging and irrational, but Qi Lei
Still that sentence, this boy is evil!
Pondering for a long time, "are you sure?"
Qi Lei, "I'm sure!"
Lao Qin, "we'll arrive tomorrow morning."

。
MonsantoThis company is thunderous!Whether it is agent orange on which it made its fortune, or the later events of GM soybean and GM corn, or the later manipulation of soybean planting in North and South America, or the sale of glyphosate by seed binding, the company seems to have done nothing good.Although Qi Lei doesn't know much about the company, later generations have also seen many stories about the company in various we media.The most famous and closely related to my rabbit should be genetically modified soybean.Normally speaking, the origin of soybean is our rabbit, and the main consumer country is also our rabbit. The planting area abroad was small in the 1990s.Before 1994, we basically kept a balance between supply and demand of soybeans and did not need to import.However, after 1994, with the improvement of national living standards, people began to advocate national nutrition balance, and the demand for soybean products such as soybean milk increased rapidly.Since that year, soybean imports have doubled every year. From almost no imports before 94 to nearly 10 million tons in 1999.You know, the domestic soybean production capacity is only more than 10 million tons, almost half.Monsanto saw business opportunities during this period and began to focus on GM soybean projects.It seems that around the year of 99 and 2000, Monsanto turned out that my rabbit was ready and failed.Finally found the field.But I didn't expect that Monsanto still made up his mind about rice seeds? This is something Qi Lei never heard of in later generations.Well, Qi Lei doesn't know. To be exact, Monsanto didn't think of Shangbei rice seed.What they want to build is a sample bank of global species. Monsanto has a shadow not only in China, but all over the world.They collect animal and plant samples, map and analyze the gene map, and then provide materials for their advanced transgenic laboratory. This is also the foundation for Monsanto to monopolize nearly 100% of the GM market in future generations.Let's say that in agricultural production, there are two factors that have the greatest impact on crop yield: one is insect pests; Second, weeds.Farmers usually spray a lot of insecticides to deal with pests. Its side effect is pesticide residue, which is easy to 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 destructive" herbicide, which can kill almost all green plants, including crops.Therefore, when spraying, farmers either have to use it before the crops sprout, or they have to carefully aim at the weeds to avoid damaging the crops.The reason why Monsanto dominates the transgenic seed industry is that he has solved these two problems with the method of "transgenic".For example, Monsanto's "insect resistant" corn seeds were implanted with a gene fragment called Bacillus thuringiensis.This bacterium, a Gram-positive bacterium, has insecticidal activity against "Lepidoptera" insects.The main pests of corn, such as corn borer, slime worm and cotton bollworm, are Lepidoptera. Eating insect resistant corn implanted with this gene will be sad. In this way, the corn itself can prevent insects without spraying pesticides.In terms of herbicide resistance, as we said above, "glyphosate herbicide" can kill almost all green plants, but there are exceptions. A plant called Petunia will not be killed.Monsanto implanted the gene of "Petunia" into soybean, corn, cotton and other crops, so it is not afraid of glyphosate.How to put it?There is no distinction between good and evil in science. Technology is a good technology and is absolutely ahead of the world.But whether it is safe or not can only be measured by time and conscience.Of course, Monsanto has always had no conscience, and security issues are not in its consideration.To put it in a bad way, many people in Eagle sauce don't want to see it. If something happens, they will be punished to death, but they can't stand it. He earns a lot and has no opponent.At this time, holding Xu Xiaoqian's hand, they snuggled up in the pavilion and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. Qi Lei was a little uncomfortable.Xu Xiaoqian didn't know the meaning of what those foreigners said. Well, Xu Qian understood some, but she didn't understand the meaning. What's more, she didn't know Qi Lei's expression.What? Are my hands rough? Why do you frown?In fact, Qi Lei's worry is: you know this stupid company B is not a good thing, but now... You have no way to take him.At present, although the country has the concept of food security, it has not been expanded to such a meticulous level as later generations. And Monsanto is reasonable and legal, and there is nothing you can do with him.To put it bluntly, even if Qi Lei reacts to his father-in-law or even Lao Qin, he may not get attention. This is not the same as the last time. A biological sample has been collected, and this foreign company must have reported it to the relevant departments.Even if Qi Lei said the situation of future generations, he was at most Lenovo.Besides, you let me see you a few years earlier!If we don't do anything else, we'll do something about the losses our rabbits have suffered in soybeans. If we have to buy your genetically modified soybeans, we have to try to stop them.But now, at this time node, people's soybeans should have been successfully developed, even if it's too late to do something.Because I can't help it. My rabbit has actually done very well. Even twenty years later, I didn't let their soybean seeds come in.However, such a large increase in soybean consumption can not be controlled. You don't plant it all over the world, but you can't stop others from planting it!You can't buy it or not!!"Alas!" with a long sigh, Qi Lei was very upset at the root of the wall.But manager Wen and Maguire over there didn't know Qi Lei's mood. They continued to work and chatted.Obviously, manager Wen didn't quite understand Maguire's work, but was temporarily pulled to act as an interpreter to deal with unexpected guests like Qi Lei."Dr. Maguire, why are you so devoted to this kind of mechanical work? In our view of finance, the income is too low."Maguire smiled, "maybe this is the difference between finance and scientific research.""You are keen to be loyal and clever. Just like now, you cooperate with Dong to export and re import Shangbei's rice. If you just go to the sea, you have to make high profits. In the eyes of our scientific researchers, it is worthless!"When manager Wen heard this, he didn't feel offended, but smiled. The voice was not loud, but with pride, "Dr. Maguire, it is this meaningless thing that you Monsanto are also involved in. Dong wants to use Monsanto's brand to package Shangbei rice."Xu Xiaoqian: "Qi Lei, "..."Although manager Wen spoke very fast and deliberately lowered his voice, he still heard an idea in the quiet environment deep in the forest on the top of the mountain. Both of them had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.It turns out that Dong Zhanlin is going to make so much money. No wonder!Xu Xiaoqian looked at Qi Lei without trace, "I'm going to tell my father!!"Qi Lei shook his head slightly and pinched Xu Xiaoqian's hand. "Don't worry, listen again."At this time, manager Wen also subconsciously glanced at the pavilion and saw that the two had hugged together and completely forgot themselves. He was also relieved.And he was still laughing in his heart. Looking back, he could make use of the relationship between the two children with Dong Zhanlin.Stop talking about business and say to Maguire, "you go on."Maguire shook his head. "Finance is the moth of society. I don't like the act of cunning. Scientific research is different. We must explore step by step. As long as we enrich the gene library of biological samples, we can find more and better excellent research materials."Manager Wen nodded. Maguire is a standard technician with high IQ and low Eq. you can't argue with him too much."Maybe you're 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's face turned black and decided not to talk to this guy. Tet is so ugly!But he didn't say it. Maguire didn't say enough. He always looked down on those businessmen."Wen, what I said is true. You can't make money without us. Monsanto can have today by technology, regardless of cost. We invest $3 million in technology research and development every day!"Manager Wen: "Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian over there are also surprised. 3 million... What's special is US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 million RMB.Monsanto's achievements in transgenic technology do not seem to be accidental.Over there, Maguire continued to show off with manager Wen, "the projects we are developing include soybeans, corn, wheat, cotton and rice, covering almost all major grain varieties in the world. The company's future development strategy also focuses on our research.""In the near future, Monsanto's genetically modified grain will dominate the world, including your financial industry!"This is not without exaggeration. Manager Wen can't stand it."Dr. Maguire, I think you should keep a low profile! Don't forget, this is not the United States. Be careful of your business competitors, and don't underestimate China's mobilization ability."Looking at Qi Lei and Xu Xiaoqian over there, "if these words spread out, they will try their best to surpass you!"But don't want to, Maguire laughed, "Chinese? Don't be kidding!"Also looked at Qi Lei and Xu Qian over there, "don't say they don't understand us, even if they understand, there's no way."Manager Wen frowned, "what do you mean?"Maguire, "the Chinese people are too backward in transgenic technology. They are still primitive and can't reach our level. Even if we don't do anything, they still can't catch up with them in 20 or 30 years.""What can I do after listening?"Maguire smiled, and the man had no EQ, "it's called absolute strength. You don't need any fancy!"Over there, Xu Xiaoqian's teeth are broken!This is not the Chinese people who are used to seeing us media bombing in future generations, nor do you listen to others' stories through your mobile phone screen!This is' 99A child in the system has a right heart!In front of her, gossip and openly laugh atXu Xiaoqian is shivering! What a bully!However, it is unable to refute. Because Maguire is right, our country is indeed a little behind in many aspects.In fact, it's not just a little behind.The first "GM reverse technology development and business plan" was issued in 1999, and a few months later.Even after 20 years, my rabbit will rise up, but in terms of gene technology, the high patent barriers built in the west make it difficult for my rabbit to surpass, so I can only bear it silently.In fact, many domestic industries cannot develop, and patent barriers are the main reason.At this time, Xu Xiaoqian's face turned red and realized what shame was for the first time! And the source of this feeling is not your own faultJust because your country is backward... Too poor!Xu Xiaoqian suddenly understood why Tang Yi went to the capital to protest.Maybe Tang Yi was in the same mood as her at that moment.Looking at Qi Lei, his face was cold and frightening: "I'm angry..."See Qi Lei is also the gill Gang, green veins burst up! In response to the words of later generations, no one can say that she is bad except me!It's time for 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, the oil yield of this sample is 16% higher than that of your existing soybeans in China.""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, I will create a soybean variety with high yield, herbicide resistance and higher oil yield.""At that time, the largest soybean consumption market in China will be yours!""Then you say, is it me or you who do finance?"...Maguire is showing his superiority as a scientist.But hearing this in Qi Lei's ear... That's another matter."Hmm ~ ~ ~!?" Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and saw the sun through the clouds!!What? You haven't made GM soybeans yet? Moreover, the source is northeast wild soybean?This... Is a little interesting.Originally, Qi Lei knew only a little about Monsanto. He really didn't know that Monsanto's genetically modified soybean originated in China and came from Longjiang.According to his inference, genetically modified soybeans are coming out recently and should have been in the laboratory for a long time.What makes you think there's such a thing?Then this isI didn't think of any good way, but now I brought it to the door myself.She whispered to Xu Xiaoqian, "are you clear?""He said he would monopolize our soybean market."Xu Xiaoqian bit her lower lip and looked angry: "well, I can hear you clearly!""I want to tell my dad not to cooperate with them."Qi Lei is laughing in his heart. It's true that he won't die if he doesn't die. How can it be so simple to tell his father-in-law?Hei hei smiled, "this is not a problem of non cooperation."Xu Xiaoqian raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"Qi Leiyin said, "this is a big gift for us!"Although Xu Xiaoqian didn't know what gift Qi Lei said, she... Instinctively licked her lips.Then, "get him?"Qi Lei, "get him!"Pull up Xu Xiaoqian, "let's go. The light bulb is uncomfortable. Let's go back!"Over there, manager Wen and Maguire looked very happy and finally left.But Qi Lei greeted Maguire warmly, "goodbye ~!"Do you know Maguire very well?......Down the mountain, Qi Lei went directly back to the guest room of the resort and made a phone call in the room."Hey, Lao Bei, I'm Qi Lei. Do you remember me?"The old Qin on the opposite side is quite strange. Why did he find this boy again after meeting him for more than half a month?"What's up?"Qi Lei, "I have something to tell you."Lao Qin, "what's up?"As a result, Qi Lei's first sentence startled Lao Qin into a sweat."Someone wants to monopolize our soybean market! Raise prices, manipulate the lifeline of grain! And then control our rice bowl!"okMaguire said: the biggest soybean consumption market is the world of you businessmen.As a result, Qi Lei added fuel and vinegar and pulled out so much. To put it bluntly, didn't Maguire know I was so ambitious?The old Qin on the other side was stunned. His first reaction was what the hell did you do? Did you encounter such a life and death event again?"What's going on?"Therefore, Qi Lei stated what Maguire had just said on the mountain to Lao Qin, and specially mentioned that they would use wild soybeans in Northeast China to cultivate genetically modified soybeans and monopolize the domestic soybean market. Of course, it's exaggerated.But it's no exaggeration to listen to Xu Xiaoqian. She's angry! Qi Lei said nothing too much!Moreover, listening to Qi Lei's tone of voice, the opposite should be the relationship he knows at home. He can manage this matter!Xu Xiaoqian was on the phone"What the Stone said is true!! I heard it too!! uncle, take care of it! They are going to beat us with our things. How angry!"Lao Qin had to pay attention to it. He said that the two children's lives were really unusual. Did they really listen to the deadly things?Why can't I touch it?I pondered on the phone for a long time. Finally, "OK, this situation is very important. We know it. Don't worry.""It's over?" Qi Lei glared, saying that it's over when we know?Lao Qin said, "otherwise? Others comply with laws and regulations. What do you want? We are also reasonable people."Well, the legal principle still needs to be talked about, but the situation provided by Qi Lei is really worthy of attention. You can make some preparations in advance.But unexpectedly, Qi Lei insisted, "what are you going to do? Tell me about it?"Lao Qin smiled and joked: "this is not what you should care about? Otherwise, you come to us? We must tell you well."Qi Lei shrunk his neck, "forget it, I'm afraid I can't come back."Lao Qin was speechless, "then don't ask.""No!" Qi Lei quit, "why don't you come to me? I have a way to cure them, and it must be more desperate than yours!"Lao Qin: "When others say this, Lao Qin may be regarded as bragging and irrational, but Qi LeiStill that sentence, this boy is evil!Pondering for a long time, "are you sure?"Qi Lei, "I'm sure!"Lao Qin, "we'll arrive tomorrow morning."......
