Chapter 170: Nantianmen, giving Teng Zhen another scapegoat
Yu Yang didn't know that the reason why Lao Bu suspected that he had gene editing technology was that gene editing was the most discussed topic in the scientific community today.
The reason is that the ADM Biochemical Department and ADM's affiliated institutions, such as Dow AgroSciences, DuPont Pioneer Agriculture, etc., have burned more than 2 billion US dollars in scientific research funds in the past half year.
This US$2 billion is not an investment or the purchase of raw materials.
Once all the money is spent but no scientific research results are obtained, it means nothing is lost.
This approach not only makes Bayer, Monsanto, Corteva, Syngenta, BASF, Limagrain and other seed merchants on pins and needles, but also the other three world grain merchants are uneasy and suspect that ADM is making big moves.
So they sent out commercial spies, bribed internal ADM employees, or sneaked into relevant scientific research rooms.
Then ADM's research projects quickly appeared in front of many companies.
At this time, ADM no longer studied ‘how to play the piano with a cow’, ‘how to show cartoons to pigs’, ‘how to illuminate seeds with radar’, but was conducting serious experiments.
Because Pingdong County Science and Technology Bureau saw that Sanyuan Agriculture was becoming bigger and stronger, it felt that it was inadequate, so it collectively signed up for several training classes to strengthen its nonsense skills.
Now not only can hybridization theory be applied, but some aspects of genetic programming can also be inserted.
Although the paper I wrote is still wrong, the fruits, vegetables and Trinity soybeans are living examples.
This caused many experts and professors in the East to become dubious and start to analyze and speculate.
As a result, many formal papers were published.
When ADM collects these papers and draws on them, many seed dealers then steal research reports from ADM laboratories, and the scientific community becomes lively.
So much so that gene editing has become the hottest topic right now.
As a result, more laboratories began to burn funds.
But the happiest person here is not the Pingdong County Science and Technology Bureau, nor ADM, nor the global seed dealers and major laboratories.
But computer manufacturers.
Because modifying the genetic code is like modifying the vocabulary in a paragraph.
Every time you make a revision, you have to 'read it again' to see if it makes sense.
There are so many biological genetic codes. If you want to constantly modify, trial and error, and recover, you need huge computing power support, which means you need to use a supercomputer.
As a result, Nasdaq, which contains a large number of technology concept stocks, suddenly began to skyrocket in the process of continuous growth, and it still has not stopped until now, breaking through historical highs every moment.
certainly.
Yu Sanyuan, the initiator of the figurines, did not know all this.
When he learned that Lao Bu planned to steal his own pigs, cattle, donkeys and horses, he immediately tried to use logic to deduce Lao Bu's intention.
But Lao Bu is a military industrialist. What is he doing studying pigs, cows, donkeys and horses?
Is it possible that you still want pigs, cows and donkeys to go to the battlefield?
Yu Yang thought hard and failed, and looked at the crossbowman Zhuge Shiyi who had once again eavesdropped on the conversation between Lao Bu and Barbara.
"Just keep an eye on me. If there's any important news, just call me directly."
"Okay, boss."
Zhuge Shiyi, the crossbowman, could understand Yinglaisi because his family had spent a lot of money to recruit a group of foreign language teachers in the past six months to provide them with one-on-one training.
For example, Zhuge Lao studied English, Zhuge Lao Er studied Japanese, and Zhuge Lao San studied Korean.
Then, through the channels of the Xiangjiang Aquatic Products Import and Export Company, the family sent the more intelligent Lian Nu soldiers abroad, allowing them to find their own way out.
As for obtaining the first-level town center, a new fortress option will be added to the city wall, slingers can be recruited, a military palace option can be added to the military camp, heavy infantry, elite archers, and two-handed swordsmen can be recruited...
They are all placed on important occasions in Tai City and play an extremely important role.
…
the next day.
Yu Yang invited Lao Bu and Lao Bu's wife, Barbara, to climb Dongyue together, and the latter readily agreed.
Because the two of them were too old, no one took the steps to the red door.
Instead, take a sightseeing bus, starting from Tianwai Bridge, passing through the fairy-like Nantianmen, and following the winding mountain road next to the City W compound, reaching halfway up the mountain.
Then transfer to the sightseeing cable car invested by Sanyuan Construction, come to Zhongtianmen, and walk to the Temple of Wealth.
Today's Dongyue, after more than half a year of adjustments and upgrades, both the hardware facilities and the scale of the scenic spot have surpassed the past, and even surpassed another time and space.
The main reason is that the more antique buildings you build, the larger the area your home occupies.
Therefore, the Dongyue Scenic Area advances towards the southern mountainous area of Dongshan Prefecture. Regardless of whether it belongs to Taishi or Dongshan Prefecture, you can occupy as much as you can.
Normally speaking, Dongyue is a Taoist holy land and there should be a Taoist priest.
However, after the commercialization of the scenic spot, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, there were no monks in Dongyue.
Therefore, during the upgrade of Dongyue Scenic Area, the Taoist Association contacted Sanyuan Tourism, hoping that Quanzhen Taoism could settle in Dongyue.
However, with the rise of the pagoda temple, this matter suddenly had no follow-up.
Yu Yang suspected that Monk Miao was too good at beating him. If someone came to talk about scriptures and Taoism, it would be a small matter if he lost, but a big deal if he lost face.
So, it’s better not to come.
Therefore, the huge Dongyue Taoist Temple has been empty for half a year.
Until later, he recruited heavy infantry, elite archers, and two-handed swordsmen...
Finally, Taoism ushered in a revival.
For example, at the east foot of Dongyue Scenic Area, there is a temple in which three heavy infantrymen as strong as cattle live. They wear yellow scarves on their heads and yellow robes, and call themselves Yellow Turban Warriors.
For example, at the west foot of Dongyue Scenic Area, there is a temple in which five tall elite archers live. They wear Xiaoyao crowns and Xiaoyao robes, walking on the mountain as if they were on the ground, climbing over eaves and walls in the streets and alleys...
For example, in an inconspicuous mountain col at the northern foot of Dongyue, there is a thatched cottage, and there lives a two-handed swordsman with a resolute face. The man is wearing coarse linen clothes, with a large wine gourd tied around his waist, and in his hand is a sword tied with a black iron chain. Whenever this man who calls himself the Drinking Sword Immortal drinks too much, he will wield the heavy sword and use the most unparalleled moves in the world, while shouting to kill demons and demons in the world...
Let me ask you, faced with this situation, do you want to become an immortal?
It's a pity that there are no real Taoist priests in my family, and no one understands the Taoist scriptures.
Otherwise, there would be a Buddhist and Taoist dispute with the Buddha Temple.
But even so, Dongyue Three Avenues Temple has increased the number of tourists to Dongyue Scenic Area four to five times.
Those who burn incense, pray for blessings, those who hope to become Taoist priests, and even those who change their families and come to become disciples...
The liveliness is no less than that of Futu Temple.
The only trouble is that due to the influence of Nantianmen, whenever it comes to 4:30 in the afternoon, Tianwaiqiao's business will be bleak.
Not to mention the human figures, even the animals and insects have disappeared.
Even though Yu Yang didn't believe in gods and demons, when he passed by Nantianmen on his way back, he felt the surroundings were eerie.
I even felt chills running down my spine, and something whispered in my ear: 'Don't look back~, don't look back~, Yin-Yang Road outside Nantianmen~, ahead is the world, behind you is the underworld...'
‘Speaking of which, the building materials of Nantianmen shouldn’t contain radiation, right? ’
‘Is it just a matter of psychology? ’
Yu Yang turned his head and looked around in disbelief. Apart from the stiff-faced Lao Bu and his wife, as well as many staff members with equally unattractive faces, there was nothing strange about them.
Sure enough, you have to believe in science.
Yu Yang thought so in his heart and couldn't help but speed up his departure.
…
It's night.
Yu Yang had a dream.
He dreamed that he took Lao Bu and his wife to visit the southern foot of Dongyue Scenic Area, and then when passing by Nantianmen on the way back, he heard a strange murmur and couldn't help but turn around.
In an instant, Lao Bu, his wife and the staff all disappeared, and everything in his field of vision turned into misty gray and white, mixed with traces of scarlet.
At this moment, Black and White Wuchang, with a bull's head and a horse's face, slowly walked out of the smoke...
"Brothers, help!"
Accompanied by hysterical shouting, tens of thousands of strong men poured out from all directions.
Not only farmers, but also spearmen, light cavalry, repeating crossbowmen, elite archers, elite archers, two-handed swordsmen...
Even the trebuchets and siege engines were pushed out by the brothers.
When Black and White Wuchang and Niu Tou Ma met, they ran away.
Yu Yang rode on the blindfolded war horse, raised his arms and shouted, "You dare to scare me, brothers, let's rebel, attack the land, and burn the book of life and death..."
Suddenly.
"The boss?!"
"Come on!"
"Master, please wake up."
"Um?"
"Master, are you okay?"
Yu Yang opened his eyes and saw Chang Fu looking at him with worry on his face.
And looking around, I realized that I was dreaming.
"Ah Fu, I'm fine. You go out first and I'll sleep a little longer."
"Um?"
"Continue the unfinished dream."
"..."
However, after Yu Yang lay down, no matter how he thought about it, he could never find the dream he just had.
No wonder so many people get upset when they wake up.
Can you not be angry if your sweet dream is disturbed?
"Chang Fu, outside Nantianmen, are you looking back?"
"I'll definitely come back."
"Did anything strange happen?"
"That's not the case."
"Nothing?"
"Oh, I had a dream that night, and I dreamed of black and white impermanence asking for my life."
"Then what?"
"What are we? We are bandits. If we die, we will definitely go to hell. Instead of going to hell and being tortured, it is better to do the opposite. I will go into the underworld with a spear and fight to the death."
"Good guy, no wonder we can pee in a pit."
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he immediately reacted, "What the hell, we are serious people!"
"Oh, that's right. How can any bandit say that he is a bandit?"
"Grass!"
…
The next day.
Yu Yang invited Lao Bu and his wife to come to the Nantianmen of Xianli again.
Without it, add incense to wash away the bad luck from last night.
Then everyone boarded the hot pot train, sat in the retro carriage, ate hot pot, looked at the scenery, and came to Shuibo Liangshan to continue their tour.
Wait until the fourth day.
The first batch of bicycles produced by Sanyuan Bicycle Factory rolls off the production line. The shape is different from the 28 big bars, but they adopt the styles of curved beam, mountain bike, folding bike, tricycle and so on.
And the material is lightweight, the color is high-end, and the quality is great.
This made the employees of Sanyuan Agriculture very happy and everyone was discussing it.
When Lao Bu and his wife heard about this, they were particularly interested.
He also made a request to Yu Yang to visit the bicycle factory and understand the processing and manufacturing capabilities of Sanyuan Agriculture.
Yu Yang did not refuse and immediately took Lao Bu and his wife to visit the Sanyuan Bicycle Factory.
At the same time, he asked his eldest brother Zhao Qian to temporarily build a tricycle through the blacksmith shop, then install an electric motor purchased from outside, assemble a tricycle and send it to Laotou Le.
The old man and his wife sat on the old man's car, grinning from ear to ear with joy, and couldn't put it down and drove the car all day long.
…
A week later.
Lao Bu and his wife took Lao Toule and set off back to Texas.
Although the two parties didn't talk about anything during the trip.
But the moment the two parties met, hugged and said hello, the conversation was over.
That is, Sanyuan Agriculture and Marubeni Trading Company jointly opened the Eastern Front battlefield to contain the Smith family's capital in the East and even in Nanyang.
The old Bu family opened the Western Front battlefield in Europe and the United States, exhausting the Smith family's capital in the financial field.
But Yu Yang thought more about this cooperation.
Because the Marubeni Trading Company controlled by Lao Bu is no less influential in the East than the Smith family.
If the Smith family is killed and Xiaobu becomes the general manager of North America in a year or two, his family will face a double encirclement and suppression by capital + politics.
However, the Smith family's containment of their home became increasingly tight.
Especially the current general manager of North America, Colin, is the nephew of old Smith.
For my family, the Smith family is currently more threatening than the Lao Bu family.
Therefore, there is no problem in cooperating with the Lao Bu family.
But it’s hard to say whether work and effort will be spent during the cooperation.
What's more, Lao Bu is here to attract foreign aid.
When asking for help, you have to be willing to do so.
For example, Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. is so rich in its investment in Oriental Wanhong that it even dares to help Mrs. Smith with the exchange at 1:15. Now it is looking for Sanyuan Agriculture to wholesale beef at super high prices, or wholesale soybean meal at super high prices, in disguised form to Sanyuan Agriculture. Yuanong Nong can deliver some ammunition, right?
Otherwise, where would the motivation for ternary agriculture come from? !
"I have lived in the East for so many years and don't even understand the world."
Yu Yang lit a cigarette and complained.
At this time.
Lao Bu, who was about to board the business plane, suddenly turned back.
"Dear Yu, Fujima's three hounds are very good, and I hope to have a few of them."
"As you wish, how many?"
"100."
"???"
"It can be converted into blue great man banknotes according to the purchase price of Fujizhen. When the goods are delivered, I will ask Wanhong Investment to remit the payment to Sanyuan Agriculture's company account."
100 items x 10 million U.S. dollars equals 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Of course, what Lao Bu gave was not a U.S. knife, but blue Great Man banknotes that Marubeni Trading Company could not exchange.
That is, 1 billion U.S. dollars x 8.25 exchange rate, 8.25 billion blue notes.
After Yu Yang made some calculations, he fell into silence.
In any case, this is a huge amount of money.
Facts have proved that Lao Bu does understand the ways of the world.
What's more, Yu Yang thought of the "Calling Eagle Sauce" in the rabbit that year.
Then the support from Eagle Sauce came.
Logically speaking, we should be happy.
But why can't you be happy?
Thinking.
The old Bu family's Gulfstream V-type business jet took off.
Yu Yang took a deep breath of cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and contacted Lao Dong, "Boss, Lao Bu wants three pandas."
"I'll ask my superiors."
"Well, Lao Bu said, let's keep it for ten miles for nourishment, and then take it back to Texas when he comes next time."
"Okay, I get it."
…
November 25th.
Han Gaixi, beside the Yellow River, Sanyuan Heavy Industry.
This super machinery manufacturing enterprise invested 51 billion yuan. Currently, it only has three steel-structured plastic greenhouses, one for offices, one for scientific research, and one for dormitories.
And there are only 1.5 billion available funds in the corporate account.
After all, the funds were used to build bridges and roads, and the payments for sales of conventional machine tools and three-axis machine tools could not be recorded in the accounts.
However, Sanyuan Heavy Industry's personnel are quite complete.
Front desk, reception, security, finance, purchasing, sales, as well as various mechanical engineers, various mechanical operators, various mechanical designers recruited from the Northeast...
"Hello, Mr. Yu~~~"
"Good, very good."
Yu Yang glanced at the three slightly mature receptionists, nodded with a smile, and walked into the chairman's office.
Soon, the financial director who was transferred from the three-putting team hurriedly walked in.
"Director Yu, after North America signed the bill, in just one week, countless Japanese and German cheap machine tools appeared on the market, including three-axis linkage CNC machine tools with 0.01mm precision."
"What about the price?"
“CNC machine tools that were almost unavailable before are now two-thirds cheaper.”
"This is all our credit. Otherwise, how could North America sign the relevant bill?"
"But machine tools that use waterways cannot be sold anymore."
"Reducing the price, our cost is so low, it can be four-fifths cheaper than before."
"In this case, the big customers who purchased machine tools before will definitely not be willing."
"So what if you don't want to? Sue us? What we do is inherently illegal."
"That makes sense."
In another time and space, it was common for prices to be reduced immediately after purchasing something.
Especially for houses, when did the developers make up the price difference?
Yu Yang thought for a moment, "The waterway business will take a long time. For the sake of reputation... let's do this. Give a few sets of molds to big customers, and at the same time show that North America is doing this just to make waterway business easier. The business went bankrupt. In fact, the water route team also lost a lot of money, but for the sake of future business, we are willing to give some compensation to major customers. Remember to let the contact person cry more and make the cash more miserable. "
"good!"
"How is the research on our own machine tools going?"
"There is no progress at the moment because it is too difficult to bypass patents."
"Take your time, this is just the beginning."
"Yes, Director Yu."
"The next step is to find a way to purchase 100 good-looking native dogs."
"Um?"
"Yes, you heard me right. Then we will send these local dogs to the old No. 2 plastic greenhouse to be raised for a period of time. During this period, we will go through quarantine and inspection procedures, and then send them to Austin, Texas..."
As Yu Yang spoke, he logged into the computer and printed out the orders sent by the United Defense Company, an industry owned by the Lao Bu family.
The financial director picked up the paper in confusion, saw the purchase quantity, and carefully counted the total payment, and couldn't help but rub his eyes, "This?"
"You read that right, 1 billion dollars, 100 dogs."
"..."
At this time.
The female counselor who came back from school called me.
"The Smith family took action against Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. and listed to the arranging agency that signed the Wassenaar Agreement the advanced equipment, advanced medical equipment and many technologies that Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. provided to the East, as well as many technologies that were on the prohibited supply list."
"Will Marubeni Trading Company be eliminated?"
"With the protection of the Lao Bu family, even if the North American general manager Klin is biased towards the Smith family, the damage to Marubeni Trading Company should not be great."
"Okay instructor, I understand."
Yu Yang hung up the phone, thought over and over again, and made an extremely important decision.
Kill Marubeni.
Because the other party's influence in the East is too great.
As for the cooperation between my family and the Lao Bu family...
Without Marubeni, the Lao Bu family has to rely on itself.
Besides, sooner or later the two sides will fall out, for fear of giving up.
As for how to kill Marubeni...
Affected by patents, it is indeed difficult for our own companies to develop machine tools that belong to the East.
Due to the influence of chips, it is difficult for our own companies to develop CNC machine tools with a precision exceeding 0.01mm.
But as the logic teacher said, when looking at a problem, you must look at the essence.
What are machine tools used for?
Increase production capacity, reduce costs, and improve accuracy.
Then there are the manufacturing of some processing devices that are difficult to complete manually, such as turbine engines for jet fighters and propellers for large ships.
Here, engine crankshafts and engine fan blades, which may seem complicated but are very simple in structure to a blacksmith shop, can actually be produced.
What's more, the shipyard can directly produce propellers for large ships.
After all, this is a shipyard, dedicated to shipbuilding.
So.
If there are turbine engine blades and large ship propellers that cannot be made in the East...
Who takes the blame?
Of course, again and again, this is the last black pot for Fujima.
