Chapter 158 The Notorious Monsanto
Guo Yang lived alone in a high-end community in Jiuquan City. When he finished washing, Lao Song was already waiting downstairs.
Out of the community.
The quality of the surrounding environment is pretty good.
Guo Yang said: “Jiuquan’s ‘six modernizations’ construction has achieved remarkable results.”
"The main thing is that the quality of the houses is good. This is a new urban area expansion with complete functions."
Not far away, there were slightly more vehicles in the city, with cars, bicycles, and people intertwined.
Old Song remembered the vendors he saw when he went out in the morning, and rarely said anything.
“It’s not the same at my place. The vegetable stalls are arranged in a haphazard manner. Recently, my wife has been complaining that the price of vegetables has increased so much.”
Guo Yang was concerned and thought of The Gobi Desert I saw yesterday.
Both Jiayuguan and Jiuquan are expanding their construction in the north-south direction, neglecting to develop the 20 kilometers of Gobi Desert adjacent to the east and west between the two cities.
The urban expansion of the two cities has occupied a large amount of agricultural land, and there is also a lack of coordination in urban planning and construction.
It is all caused by unreasonable administrative divisions.
Jiahe Group is located in the industrial park, and Tianhe’s seed processing plants are mainly located here.
In addition, well-known companies such as Huihuang Seed Industry, Shazhou Seed Industry, Pioneer Seed Industry, and Gandi Pharmaceutical are also gathered here.
It took more than ten minutes to get to the company.
I was so hungry that I realized I hadn’t eaten breakfast. The canteen was closed, so I asked Lao Song to buy a paste pot and come back.
Xie Shijie smiled and said: "Boss, look, I said it's time to assign you a life secretary. I even forgot to eat breakfast."
"I'm not particular about eating."
Guo Yang glared at him, "How is the media and public opinion situation now?"
After sitting down in the office, Xie Shijie took out the compiled information.
“The discussion on the Internet was very intense, and several local media also published the article, which caused repercussions in major cities.”
“It will only get worse in the next few days. Lie."
Guo Yang browsed the web. The article he and Xie Shijie co-wrote has been reprinted on the Internet a lot, and there are many original ones.
The public opinion situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are divergent opinions.
Guo Yang watched intently, and Xie Shijie said: "Boss, the introduction about Monsanto's past that you polished also aroused great public opinion."
Guo Yang also saw the comments from netizens and those in the media. , "Everyone is calling for beating Monsanto now!"
Xie Shijie curled his lips and smiled, "The main reason is that boss, your writing is too detailed, and Monsanto's underwear has been pulled down."
“It’s popular everywhere now.”
“Especially the ‘notorious Monsanto’ part, many media and networks just use it without changing it.”
"Is this done secretly? Does anyone else know?" Guo Yang asked worriedly.
“No.”
Guo Yang was relieved. Monsanto has been operating in China for many years and has close relations with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In terms of size and background, it is difficult for Jiahe to compete head-on with it for the time being.
We can only resort to some unscrupulous measures, such as business wars, how can we be so high-minded? It’s okay if we don’t pour boiling water on your money tree.
Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
His attempt to divert trouble eastward may not be able to stop the expansion of genetically modified soybeans in the country, but it will disgust Monsanto.
What’s more, Tianyu No. 1 has climbed out of the whirlpool of public opinion, and its reputation for high productivity has further spread.
At this time, Jiahe naturally wants to be as low-key as possible. Don’t cause trouble for the leader, just watch the show.
Lao Song bought the paste pot, and Guo Yang finished it in a few strokes. It was comfortable and enjoyable.
Those who love the paste pot will enjoy it like glutinous rice; those who don't love it will throw it away like worn-out shoes.
Guo Yang also had a fever and caught a cold. He went to Jiuquan to have a bowl of paste pot, sweated all over, and was cured immediately.
Since then, I like to have a bowl from time to time.
……
Beijing.
Barty Allen, the president of Monsanto China, looked at the relevant reports brought by his subordinates without saying a word.
As a China general, one of the subtitles stimulated his eyes.
“The notorious Monsanto!”
He saw the detailed development history of Monsanto.
Monsanto has a monopoly on Indian cotton seeds and Argentine soybean seeds. How miserable the two countries are. Don't mention it anymore, the facts can't be quibbled with.
But for two of the crimes, even when he saw them, he felt incomprehensible and almost cursed them.
During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military sprayed 72 million liters of Agent Orange, killing more than 1 million Vietnamese and 100,000 U.S. troops.
In sprayed areas, 50,000 children were born with horrific deformities.
Secondly, in the United States, 20,000 residents of a small town sued Monsanto because PCB wastewater pollution caused residents to die from direct or indirect diseases.
Alan gritted his teeth.
Distorting the facts and deliberately discrediting it!
For example, for Agent Orange, Monsanto is only the main manufacturer. What about the other two? Not even mentioned?
As well as the injured US military troops and residents, Monsanto has paid a total of nearly 1 billion US dollars in compensation.
I only write about how Monsanto squeezes farmers and charges seed patent fees, but fails to mention how much production has been increased and how much cost has been saved.
What about the advantages of genetic modification, have they also been eaten up?
But can Monsanto explain?
The article clearly states that the Vietnamese have not received any compensation, and they are still asking for help and suing pathetically all over the world! I'm afraid that once Monsanto comes out, it will be covered up by public opinion!
The person who wrote this article is really mean!
Alan frowned, it was so disgusting, as if he had fallen into a cesspit.
However, the article that had the greatest impact on him was the last point: Monsanto’s Chinese ambitions!
First, it stirred up people's disgust towards genetically modified foods, and then it wantonly poured dirty water on Monsanto.
The true purpose was finally revealed.
In 2004, Monsanto obtained permanent import safety certificates for domestic Roundup Ready genetically modified soybeans, two types of genetically modified corn and cotton.
And are trying to apply for a safety certificate for genetically modified rice.
There is also the proliferation of genetically modified soybeans in the country, and the domestic soybean industry is facing a life and death crisis...
What a good move!
Barty Allen sighed to himself, can this change the pattern of China's soybean market?
Monsanto’s international reputation is not good to begin with, so why did it ever care!
This is all just the roar of the incompetent!
It can't even be called a roar, it can only be regarded as a mouse hiding in a dark corner and grinding its teeth, shivering under the gaze of the cat.
Occasionally make murmurs.
They are scared!
Alan put down the material, thinking he had seen through everything. Although he didn't care, he still had to do what he had to do.
Looking for someone!
If you can send it, so can I.
At the same time, the front-end agents of the four major grain merchants including the Mordu Yihai Group also mobilized their own efforts.
Experts from domestic universities and companies that have achieved R&D advantages in the field of genetically modified technology also come forward to popularize science from time to time.
......
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Guo Yang fell asleep lightly on the sofa, and was woken up by the sound of thumping.
"Boss, have experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences come out to speak?" Xie Shijie still had a faint smile on his face.
Guo Yang guessed that there should be another good show to watch.
“What did you say?”
“It mainly introduced the development process of genetically modified technology, as well as its pros and cons. The meaning behind the words is to support the development of genetically modified technology.”
Guo Yang asked: "What then?"
"I was scolded miserably."
Guo Yang also looked at it curiously and was frightened by the fighting power of the people.
“Experts are cultivating genetically modified food, ask them if they eat it themselves?”
“No matter how white it is, if it cannot retain seeds, it will make people fearful.”
< br>“Since it’s so good, let’s start from your family. You, your son, your daughter, your old man, your wife, your daughter-in-law, all eat genetically modified foods every day. Try eating them for two consecutive years.”
Guo Yang asked in confusion: "Why do you think no one cares about companies like Syngenta, DuPont, and BASF?"
"Hey, the main reason is that the boss's description of Monsanto is too accurate. I think the Chinese people The resistance to genetically modified foods has become even stronger.”
Guo Yang also knows the situation in China. Even in future generations, the vast majority of people will not be able to accept genetically modified foods.
“These are just stop-gap measures. The focus is to expand and promote the Tiandou No. 1 commercial variety this year.”
Xie Shishi found a piece of material and handed it to Guo Yang , "The seed production base in Shandong Province sent back information two days ago. I read it and found that it is growing well."
Guo Yang took a cursory look and found that the photo looked pretty good.
“Make a schedule and go see it someday.”
The debate on genetic modification continues to ferment, and has actually affected thousands of households.
People avoid genetic modification.
Suddenly, non-GMO has become a selling point of many products.
Housewives walk into large supermarkets and see on the dazzling supermarket shelves some edible oil packages that say: This product is a genetically modified food.
If there is no problem with genetically modified food, why should it be labeled?
Then he picked up a bucket of non-GMO oil.
Two days later, Guo Yang was busy discussing with the Strategic Investment Department about raising seafood in saline-alkali land. He had boasted, but he still had to think about cashing in.
Now we also have the strength to engage in research and development of inland seafood.
While still discussing how to break in, Guo Yang received a strange phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hahaha... Mr. Guo, I am Xue Liqiang from Jiusan Grain and Oil."
Guo Yang remembered that the two of them were in the capital before We have met at Weiguang Company. Jiusan Cereals and Oils is also one of the largest national oil and fat processing companies in the country.
Xue Liqiang said with a smile: "There has been a lot of buzz about genetic modification recently, and our factory's non-GMO cooking oil is very popular!"
"Huh...??" Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, and then his buttocks tightened!
The news was leaked? It shouldn’t be, the Ministry of Agriculture should have come to the door first if it was leaked.
“Now there is a GMO debate in Europe and the United States internationally. Non-GMO soybeans are very popular and the market demand is huge, Mr. Guo.”
Guo Yang still doesn’t understand and thinks that the truth is really revealed. "Mr. Soybean planting base.”
Guo Yang thought carefully, there must be information that he didn't grasp.
Slow down first.
“Mr.
