It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish.
The second and third generations of ordinary grain seeds can still be used as grain, but they are not strong in terms of yield or drought and insect resistance.
Such grain seeds were transported back to 1960. Coupled with the impact of natural disasters, lack of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and other unfavorable factors, grain output would not increase much. It would not be more than doubled, and the yield per mu would only be about 150 kilograms.
Therefore, if you want to increase the yield, you must use high-yielding hybrid seeds, even genetically modified seeds. People are starving to death, and you still care whether they are healthy or not?
However, the disadvantage of hybrid seeds is that they cannot be used for breeding. You have to buy seeds for one season. This does not help in alleviating the national disaster.
However, it is obviously impossible for Lin Sanqi to keep traveling between the two eras without stopping transporting seeds. This is a "pseudo-medical novel", not a "farming novel". Medical treatment has become agriculture. Construction?
Therefore, the best way is to buy out the entire hybrid technology, let the agricultural experts in the 1960s study the hybrid technology themselves, and then promote it on a large scale. Only in this way can the domestic food shortage be alleviated.
Lin Sanqi knows the historical process. The domestic food shortage is not just a problem for three years, but will be tense for the next 20 years.
Even after the reform, there are still many people in poor areas who do not have enough to eat.
If the experts in 1960 could understand hybrid technology thoroughly and continue to study it from generation to generation, perhaps in the future, our country's hybrid technology would be far ahead of foreign countries and become a high-tech flagship product of our country, which could be exported to earn foreign exchange.
We must know that in 2023, domestic hybridization or genetically modified technology will lag behind foreign countries.
After all, the contribution of Mr. Yuan Longping alone is no match for the tens or tens of billions of dollars in research expenses spent by the entire foreign scientific research team every year.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi became more determined to purchase "backward hybrid technology".
When Ye Guoyong heard that Lin Sanqi wanted to purchase the first-generation hybrid corn technology, to be honest, his head was filled with questions.
"Boss Lin, did I hear you correctly? You want to buy the first-generation hybrid corn technology? What's the use of this? Let me tell you, the yield of this first-generation corn is only 500 kilograms, which is not optimistic.
Now the third-generation technology has generally reached a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. It is not uncommon to reach 1,500 kilograms and 2,000 kilograms. The yield of the same piece of land is doubled. What do you want from the first-generation technology? ”
Yin Lianyi was also a little surprised. She was in charge of finance and knew that the company's current cash flow was several hundred million, which meant that Lin Sanqi was not short of money at all.
Even if such a wealthy person suddenly became interested in agriculture, he would definitely introduce the most advanced technology.
Even a pig knows how big the difference is between 500 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms.
So why do we need this backward generation of technology? Have you started to have money? So he quickly dissuaded him and said:
"Yes, even if you want technology, you still want high-end technology. Why do you need this 20-year-old technology that is outdated?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, I also want third-generation technology. Who wouldn’t be greedy if the yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms? The poor farmers in the Ming Tombs only have a yield of more than 70 kilograms per mu.
But three generations of technicians are making money from this, so why are they willing to sell it?
Moreover, the technology is too advanced, and there is a "technological generation gap".
In 1960, the agricultural experts of that era might not be able to understand it, or they might understand that it would be in vain if they didn’t have the relevant instruments and equipment for experiments.
So take the most backward hybrid technology of this era and send it to 1960. It was enough for use, and it was also a complete black technology.
"That's it, Mr. Ye, I want this technology not to be used by myself, but to be used in poor areas. To be honest, buying grain once a year is still too expensive for the poor, and they can't afford it at all. ”
Ye Guoyong thought to himself, the cost of food has increased when buying third-generation hybrid seeds, but the yield is also high. In the end, it is still cost-effective to buy. How can this young man not settle accounts?
But how could he understand the pain in Lin Sanqi's heart.
"So I want to buy a first-generation hybrid technology. If I can produce my own grain, the cost will be reduced, and it can also benefit the poor, which is a contribution to society."
Ye Guoyong still couldn't figure out Lin Sanqi's thinking, and suddenly he thought of another possibility.
"Boss Lin, you don't want to buy a first-generation hybrid technology to get started, and then set up a company and laboratory to catch up with third-generation or even fourth-generation technology, right?"
Isn't there a saying that the rich second generation is not afraid of eating, drinking and having fun, but the rich second generation suddenly wants to start a business.
Young people like to be imaginative and do projects without research. They like to slap their heads and rush forward with money, thinking that money can solve everything. In the end, they lose everything.
In Ye Guoyong's view, young people like Lin Sanqi just want to enter the seed industry. Otherwise, why would they buy first-generation technology?
Ye Guoyong doesn't believe a word of this holy mother's statement about buying technology to serve poor households. For businessmen, Ye Guoyong doesn't believe a word of it.
Older people tend to be good teachers, especially enthusiastic fellows from the Northeast, so Ye Guoyong kindly advised:
"I said to Boss Lin, if you want to join an agricultural project and make seed products, I advise you to think twice before doing it. It's not that I'm afraid of competition from my peers, but it's really not profitable in this industry.
Not only is it not profitable, but the initial investment is huge. For our Harvest Seed Company, the annual scientific research funding reaches one-third of sales. An instrument or a production line can easily cost millions or tens of millions. This investment is Too huge. It doesn’t matter that the investment is huge, but the key is that there are now many related seed companies in the country, the competition pressure is high, and the high-end market is basically monopolized by foreign countries. So, agriculture is not good food. Why are you young people so bad at it? Why are you doing agriculture? ”
Yin Lianyi also kept talking, thinking that even if you said you wanted to grow medicinal materials, it would be more reliable than growing food.
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed and could only laugh, but he would definitely not change his mind.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for the reminder, but I have made up my mind. Even if the money is wasted, it doesn't matter. I have tried my best anyway."
Lin Sanqi said tragically. Ye Guoyong couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Is there any place in the country that is so poor that even the seeds must use first-generation technology? If you really need it, come directly and buy the third-generation technology to produce more food. Okay?
"Mr. Ye, it's like this. I wonder if your company's first-generation hybrid technology can be sold to me? If it can be sold, let's talk about it. If you can't sell it, then I will go to other seed companies or the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Look for it.”
"Sell it, you can definitely sell it!"
Ye Guoyong thought to himself, it's really hard to persuade the damn ghost. Since you insist on buying it yourself, there is no reason why Harvest Seed Company should not make this windfall.
"But Boss Lin, please sit here for a while. I'll make a call to discuss with the company's senior management. Xiao Zhang, come and make tea for Boss Lin and this beauty!"
"Mr. Ye, you are free to do whatever you want, I will take a look first..."
More than ten minutes later, Ye Guoyong came back and said with a smile:
"Boss Lin, I have negotiated with the company. We can sell the first-generation technology of hybrid corn. All the information can be given to you, even the experimental seeds, but the price requires 5 million yuan, haha... ”
Ye Guoyong felt a little blushing.
Thinking about the technology of 20 years ago, it would cost 5 million yuan to just copy some information from the computer and print out some corn seeds. I have to say that my company is too shady.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, wow, a scientific research result that countless scientific researchers spent countless funds and energy on was sold for 5 million yuan. This is too cheap.
Using Lin Sanqi's standard of measurement, isn't it just the price of two or three wild ginseng sticks?
Of course that's not how business works.
Because he suddenly thought that in 1960, there was a shortage of all technologies except corn seeds. Since the price was not expensive, why not pack them all and take them away? So he proposed again:
"Mr. Ye, look, in addition to corn seeds, your company also has wheat, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and more. Are they vegetable seeds? I don't want your company's most advanced technology. All I want is the first." Modern Technology, do you think we can give you a preferential package price?”
Ye Guoyong thought to himself, this young man seems to be really crazy. He is determined to engage in agriculture, but he also has the most backward seed technology. He is preparing to lose money to his grandma's family.
Without much persuasion, I made another call and offered a fixed price of 50 million yuan for Fengshou Company’s first-generation hybrid technology of all 18 varieties.
In the end, the two parties bargained and the deal was settled at 40 million.
In addition, Fengshou Company also donated 5 tons of Lin Panax drought-resistant and insect-resistant hybrid corn seeds, 5 tons of wheat seeds, and several vegetable seeds...
This deal was a huge success for the company. Their profit for the year was less than 40 million yuan, and the entire company was in a state of turmoil.
Lin Sanqi did not lose anything. He took from the people and used it for the people. His thoughts were slowly changing. He thought that he had made so much money, so he should give back even a little to the country.
And there is another advantage to doing this, that is, paying protection fees.
As long as Lin Sanqi's existence was beneficial to the country and the people, and could continue to bring the most advanced technology and materials to the country in 1960, no one would harm him, and even the officials were willing to cooperate with him.
In the same way, if someone can get a real five-axis machine tool, a 3nm lithography machine, a full set of design drawings for the fifth-generation fighter jet F-35 from abroad in 2023, etc.
Do you think the country will arrest him and shoot him like a spy, or will he be treated like an ancestor with good food and drink?
Yin Lianyi was still a little dizzy when she came out of the headquarters of Fengsheng Company. She originally planned to buy some food, but in the end she bought a container of information and spent a total of 40 million yuan?
Just like dreaming.
"Lin Sanqi, do you know what you are doing? Are these technologies really useful?"
Lin Sanqi was in high spirits and said without looking back:
"Whether it was in the past or now, for the common people, having enough to eat is always the first priority, and everything else is fucking bullshit!!!" (End of Chapter)
