Chapter 36 "Heavy losses"
February 11th.
The day before the Lantern Festival.
It's almost eleven o'clock at noon.
A police car and a news vehicle drove into the gate of the Hailufeng eel breeding base in Shioding Village.
The people who got out of the police car were Ma Qiang, deputy captain of the Economic Investigation Brigade, and two ordinary policemen.
"Manager Zhang, Mr. Jiang."
"Cavalry, welcome!" Zhang Xincheng greeted them with a smile.
"Hello! Cavalry team, please come inside..." Jiang Miao also smiled and stretched out his hand.
CCTV crew members and reporters carrying large and small bags also got out of the car one after another.
Soon the three parties communicated about some arrangements for the interview.
Zhang Xincheng first took the photographer to the inside of the farm to take some photos and videos as news editing materials.
Jiang Miao and Ma Qiang discussed with reporters some details of the interview questions later, including what questions to ask and the content of the answers. Although it is recorded content, it must not be acted on the spot. Only by discussing it in advance can the shooting progress be smooth and fast.
It took more than two hours to complete the shooting and interview.
Jiang Miao invited the group to have lunch in the company cafeteria before asking Li Zixuan and Ke Yong to see them off.
That night.
In the small villa in Nanhu Village, Jiang Miao and Shuya were lying on the sofa in the living room. He was resting his head on Shuya's thigh, watching tonight's TV program. Shuya had no interest in the TV program and was watching the TV show. This professional book on edible fungi cultivation.
Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
There was a slight shaking sound from the window, and the cold spring wind was a bit fierce.
And Jiang Miao finally sat up, because it was the time when the evening news started.
On the screen, the host reported today's interview news within a few minutes of the opening.
"Lingnan police recently detected a major economic crime case. The case caused direct economic losses of hundreds of millions of yuan, and indirect losses may be as high as billions of yuan. Now please watch the detailed report from the reporter ahead..."
The scene changes.
It was Zhang Xincheng running out of the office in a hurry, then the police car with flashing lights entered, and then there were interviews with Xiao Cai, Sun Moon Lake and others wearing prison striped shirts.
After these scenes flashed by, the formal interview session entered.
"Five days ago, on February 10, a major economic crime case that shocked the local area occurred here. The criminal suspect Cai Mouyu stole a confidential formula and a bottle of confidential feed from Hailufeng Agricultural Technology Company, and Sold to Wang Moufu, the owner of a Ryukyu company, for 1.5 million yuan..."
The reporter quickly and concisely introduced the details of the case.
Then there is part of the investigation of the case. For example, Zhang Xincheng discovered a problem and reported the case. Fang Hongbin immediately led people to arrest Xiao Cai. By following the clues, the Pengcheng police arrested Sun Moon Lake and others.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Cai explained how he went on the road to crime step by step, and how Sun Moon Lake hooked up with Xiao Cai through the Internet and lured the other party to steal the confidential feed and confidential formula of Hailufeng Company.
Next is the reporter’s interview at the Lingnan Aquaculture Research Institute.
"Hello, Researcher Hu Fei, does the artificial eel breeding technology really have such huge economic value?"
Researcher Hu Fei nodded seriously: "Yes, the eel fry currently on the market are divided into three categories, one is imported wild glass eel fry, and the other is domestic wild leaf eels caught at river estuaries. The third type of eel fry is the artificially propagated glass eel fry produced by Hailufeng Company.”
In fact, the Lingnan Aquaculture Research Institute has noticed the glass eel fry produced by Hailufeng Company since November last year. After all, this kind of eel fry is out of season. As a researcher at the Aquaculture Research Institute who specializes in eel artificial breeding technology, Hu Fei immediately thought of artificial breeding technology.
"Excuse me, what is the difference between the three types of eel fry?"
"Some time ago, our institute studied Hailufeng's eel seedlings and found that they were healthier than wild ones. The survival rate of their glass eel seedlings exceeded 98%, which is much higher than the 80% survival rate of wild glass eels."

The reporter continued to ask: "Then where is its value reflected?"
Researcher Hu Fei had obviously reviewed the manuscript and immediately started talking: "With the pollution of the marine environment and overfishing, the current population of Pacific eels has decreased sharply. Last year, the catch of Pacific eel fry was less than 35 tons, and At its peak, the catch of wild eel fry was as high as about 200 tons..."
"In this case, without artificial breeding technology, the Pacific eel population may be on the verge of extinction in the future, and it will be difficult for us to eat eels anymore."
The reporter asked again: "According to relevant information, several Japanese research institutions also have artificial eel breeding technology. Is there any difference between their technology and that of Hailufeng Company?"
"There is a big difference." Researcher Hu Fei paused for a moment: "The technology of Japanese research institutions cannot be mass-produced at low cost, while the technology of Hailufeng Company has achieved mass production at low cost, and it is also That is to say, the former is only a laboratory product, but the latter is a mass-produced product in the factory. ”
"Then let me ask Researcher Hu, how much do you think the value of Hailufeng Company's technology will be?"
"It's hard to say exactly, but based on the current market wholesale price of glass eels, plus the scale of Hailufeng's sales of tens of millions of eel fry every month, it can generate at least about 1 billion yuan in revenue a year. As for profits, I don’t know the company’s production costs.”
"Okay, thank you, Researcher Hu, for clarifying my doubts."
The screen changed and it was back to the Shiomachi Breeding Base.
The reporter took the microphone and asked Jiang Miao: "Chairman Jiang, what impact will this case have on your company?"
"The main impact is that technology leaks and large-scale dissemination cause our company to lose its leading edge. Other companies can develop similar technologies through confidential formulas. I estimate that new competitors will appear in as little as half a year. ." Jiang Miao showed a look of helplessness and anger.
"Is it possible to protect your company's invention patent through legal means?"
Jiang Miao shook his head and said helplessly: "Although we have applied for many patents at home and abroad, as long as the other party does not openly sell the confidential feed, or add some substitute materials to the original confidential feed, it will be fine. Avoiding patent restrictions, not to mention that if it is a foreign nursery company, it is difficult for us to investigate and collect evidence, and it is also difficult to litigate abroad. ”
However, the topic changed and Jiang Miao added: "But our company will not give up using legal means to defend its legitimate interests. We have now joined forces with the Japanese Kagoshima Eel Company to file lawsuits against Ryukyu Saikai Company in various regions. ”
"I deeply sympathize with what your company has experienced."
The screen returned to the host, which meant the news was over.
Detailed press releases are also uploaded to the CCTV News client and web page simultaneously.
Many Shanmei locals saw today's evening news, and then posted the news on WeChat Moments and QQ groups.
Suddenly a stone stirred up waves in the local area.
Many people yelled at Xiao Cai for being ungrateful and cheating, which was simply an embarrassment to his hometown.
Fortunately, the press release did not mention where Xiao Cai was from Shantou or Meizhou, otherwise someone might have painted on the door of Cai's house.
The Cai family also saw the news forwarded in their circle of friends, and completely gave up the idea of causing trouble for Hailufeng Company and Jiang Miao, and even had the idea of moving out of Ma Palace as soon as possible.
Obviously they are afraid. That technology is so valuable. If they compare their feelings, they will inevitably worry that Jiang Miao will find someone to mess with them.
Therefore, they discussed overnight and planned to move to a relative's house in the city for the next few days and did not dare to stay in Magong Town.
In fact, this matter has spread throughout Magong Town in the past few days, and many neighbors are talking about it behind their backs.
Especially those whose family members worked at Hailufeng Company did not give the Cai family a good look.
After all, this incident affected the profits of Hailufeng Company, and indirectly affected its employees. Those employees and their families must be unhappy with the Cai family, especially after hearing that they went to the headquarters of Hailufeng Company to cause trouble a few days ago, they became even more disgusted with each other. .
