Chapter 26 Protection Fees


Chapter 26 Protection Fee

Guo Yang can understand the mood of Director Su Guozhou.

Breeding is a long process, especially traditional cross-breeding.

And the approval process for new seed varieties in this era is even more stringent.

For variety approval, the applicant first submits an application for new varieties to be tested, and submits instructions on the source of the new variety, the breeding process, basic traits, key points of cultivation, and non-GMO certification or guarantee.

Then, the seed management department will organize and carry out certification tests, including at least 1 year of preparatory testing, 2 years of regional testing and 1 year of production testing, with a total time of no less than 4 years.

Coupled with the time it takes to breed new varieties, it often takes more than ten years from the beginning of screening to the launch of a new crop variety.

Although it is slow, the new seed varieties approved at this time have excellent characteristics and long-lasting market vitality. A small number of varieties are still active in the market even more than ten years later.

Unlike more than ten years later, the approval of new varieties has become more relaxed. Sometimes more than 500 corn varieties are approved in a year.

Among these seeds, there are also original and good seeds that scientific researchers have worked hard for several years or even more than ten years to solve problems, but more of them are high imitations or even seeds that are copied from gourds.

It took Su Guozhou and others more than ten years to cultivate the alfalfa seed in 1997, which was named 'Hua Alfalfa No. 1'.

The variety is early maturing, drought-resistant, barren, cold-resistant, salt-alkali tolerant, grows rapidly, has strong regeneration ability, is rich in nutrients, and is loved by livestock.

The disadvantage is that it has average downy mildew resistance and average lodging resistance.

In terms of variety characteristics, this is already a very excellent alfalfa variety.

But even such a variety is still in the process of production testing for variety approval.

At this time, Guo Yang claimed that he had an alfalfa variety that had been approved and had better properties.

How could Su Guozhou believe this? How dare you believe it?

From Guo Yang's perspective, it is difficult for him to answer this question.

Super alfalfa seeds are given in a gift package, and the variety approval process and approval certificates are also completed by the seed store.

But does he need an answer?

"Director Su, I understand your feelings, but how this variety was selected is not important to today's meeting."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe in its variety characteristics. As a Investors, the funds for improving saline-alkali land are all self-owned funds, and I am willing to bear this risk.”

“And I came to the capital and the Ministry of Agriculture to seek help, not to discuss the feasibility of the project. , and I’m not here to be questioned.”

“Therefore, I will definitely invest in the construction of this project.”

Hearing Guo Yang’s resounding answer, Su Guozhou choked for a moment.

Yes, he is the investor.

What can he do if others are willing to take the risk? Even if others want to use false seeds, what can he do? Incompetent and furious?

Su Guozhou looked helplessly at Minister Lin.

Minister Lin pondered for a moment and said: "Since Mr. Guo has decided to do this project, each department should also talk about the current relevant policies and situations. Those who have opinions can also put forward their opinions."< br>
After the conference room was silent for a while, someone from the Planting Industry Department spoke up: "I wonder if Mr. Guo has the idea of ​​growing food. After systematic engineering management, saline-alkali land can also grow food, and now Breeding of salt-alkali-tolerant rice and wheat has also yielded some results.”

"In recent years, the area and output of grain cultivation have been declining year by year, and the pressure on food security is great. The ministry is now studying relevant subsidy policies, which are expected to be introduced soon."

Of course Guo Yang is familiar with the grain subsidy policy , he often applied for it in his previous life, and the subsidy standards in different provinces are mostly different.

In general, with the rapid development of mechanization, planting costs have decreased, and it is profitable to grow grain with subsidies.

But this was not part of his plan. His main purpose was to accumulate natural energy by improving the salt-alkali land.

And he doesn’t trust the current salt-alkali tolerant grain varieties. Guo Yang shook his head and said: "There are no plans to grow food at the moment. My main plan is to plant grass, and then do grass breeding and seed production, grass planting, silage processing, feed processing, etc. This is also for the country. Contribute to food security ”

Hearing this, the person in charge of the Planting Industry Department nodded expressionlessly, thinking about it he felt a little unhappy.

But the Department of Animal Husbandry echoed: "Indeed, judging from the current development trend of the domestic feed industry and the development goals of grain production, our country will still be in short supply of feed grain resources in the next few years. Energy feed, protein There is a large gap in feed demand, low self-sufficiency rate, and heavy reliance on imports. "And my country is short of high-quality forage resources, and grassland grass sometimes cannot even meet the needs of pastoral farming."

"So Mr. Guo's project can be said to be timely for the development of my country's animal husbandry industry. Our Animal Husbandry Department will definitely provide strong support, and relevant expert technical service teams can be formed at any time."

When Guo Yang heard this, he smiled heartily.

Subsequently, the Department of Industrial Policy and Regulation and the Department of Agricultural Mechanization Management also expressed their opinions.

But it’s all nonsense, without even verbal support.

Guo Yang is also becoming more and more confused.

It stands to reason that since Minister Lin convened everyone to organize this meeting, something will be produced no matter what.

But now judging from the speeches of several departments, it has not been clear where the Ministry of Agriculture will provide support.

Is it just the expert technical team of the Animal Husbandry Department?

That would be too boring.

The expert technical team will not be permanent. The occasional inspection will not only play a limited role, but will also increase the company's reception costs.

While listening, Guo Yang saw the short-haired girl who was taking notes again.

In just a moment, he suddenly realized that this girl was Chen Yue.

No wonder the voice felt a little familiar when I heard it just now.

It’s good-looking, but it’s a bit far from the long-haired image he imagined, so it’s not his cup of tea.

But at the moment I can only watch the beauties out of boredom, otherwise I have to watch a group of gentlemen talking nonsense.

Minister Lin was sitting opposite Guo Yang. He noticed it when Guo Yang started to wander away and his eyes began to peek at the beautiful girl.

If Guo Yang was from a functional department, he would already be training people by now.

But Guo Yang was invited to attend the meeting by him, and his purpose was made clear when he contacted Director Zhang.

He, Guo Yang, came here to seek help from the Ministry of Agriculture!

Since you want help, then I will help you!

It depends on whether you can catch it.

When everyone had finished talking, Minister Lin knocked on the table and said to Guo Yang:

"Mr. Guo, after listening to the introductions from various functional departments, you now have a basic understanding of our situation, right?" !”

Guo Yang nodded, it’s just that he has no money!

"The ministry does have a budget shortage, and may not be able to provide any financial help for the time being, but there will be support policies."

In Guo Yang's expectant eyes, Minister Lin continued:

"The planning and design work of the '200,000 acres of saline-alkali land improvement project' can be left to the planning and design institute directly under the ministry. Their professionalism is unquestionable in this regard in China."

What does it mean? ?

Guo Yang thought carefully in his mind before reacting.

Does this mean I still have to pay you money?

But he is willing to pay the money.
