Chapter 193: Build the plank road openly, secretly attack Chen Cang, the sword is pointed at July 1st.
During the Sanyuan Agriculture press conference.
The staff brought breakfast to the podium.
This is a pressed employee dinner plate made of 316 food-grade stainless steel.
On top were two fried eggs, a few slices of cucumber, three slices of tomatoes, a roll of crisp lettuce leaves, two pieces of beef bacon, a finger-long ketchup bun, and a bowl of rich celery and corn soup.
Yu Yang tore open the sauce packet, picked up the cucumber slices, and looked at the reporters attending the press conference:
“In the past, if we wanted to obtain cucumbers with higher yield and better taste, we would often bring together two or more excellent varieties through mating, and then select and cultivate new varieties. This method is also called The principle of hybridization is genetic recombination.”
"During the breeding process, there is a one in 10,000 chance of causing a genetic mutation, resulting in cucumbers with ultra-low yield, super-high yield, or weird shapes."
"It is also possible to cause chromosomal mutations, resulting in 'mule-like cucumbers that cannot reproduce the next generation.'"
"In general, cross-breeding is time-consuming, labor-intensive and full of uncertainties."
"In recent years, in order to take shortcuts, some biological laboratories have begun to intercept excellent genes from other organisms and transfer or replace similar gene nodes in cucumbers, breaking the reproductive isolation between organisms."
"For example, in 1991, experimenters introduced the coat protein gene of CMV (cytomegalovirus) into cucumbers to enhance the CMV disease resistance of transgenic plants."
"This is a very successful experiment and is expected to increase cucumber yields by 15% to 20%."
"However, this also means that the genetically modified cucumbers have CMV antibodies."
"Zhang San eats CMV disease-resistant cucumbers. Although it is difficult to absorb CMV antibodies, the CMV antibodies that appear in the body are like 'you roared to catch the thief in the village', activating his own immune system and inducing an increase in his own CMV antibodies. ”
"There is no harm in doing this in the short term. It can resist CMV."
"But if it is like this for a long time, it means that the whole village is highly tense, and then it is like 'wolf is coming', causing no one in the village to believe your words anymore, until the thief really comes, or the cytomegalovirus really comes, but it fails to activate the immune system ”
"At the same time, the long-term presence of CMV antibodies in the body means that your immune function has been overloaded against cytomegalovirus, which will inevitably reduce the production of other antibodies, such as colds that heal slowly, wounds that are easily inflamed, etc."
“Furthermore, the increase in CMV antibodies can cause giant cell inclusion body disease, causing infants and young children to have developmental delays, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, jaundice, hemolytic anemia, congenital malformations, mental retardation, and neuromuscular movement disorders. etc."
"A simple case of genetic modification can cause so many impacts. Three-Yuan Agriculture will definitely not engage in this kind of technology."
"As for why Sanyuan Agriculture is so clear... I emphasize again that we never conduct biochemical experiments."
Reporters on the scene: "..."
"Therefore, our Sanyuan Agriculture has chosen 'gene optimization', one of the three major development directions of genetic engineering."
"Some people may ask, which are the three development directions."
"In my opinion, in addition to the transgene just described, it also includes gene editing and gene optimization."
"GMOs are equivalent to changing species, and will give birth to strange creatures, such as horses that look like cows, pigs that look like elephants, and tortoises that look like turtles."
North American reporter: "Mr. Yu, you seem to have it at home."
"Is there any? Sorry, that might be the product of a biochemistry experiment."
Yu Yang said, coughed, and continued: "Gene editing, to put it simply, is equivalent to deleting or adding the genome."
"For example, Zhang San suffers from a family hereditary disease and hopes that the next generation can grow up healthily. What should he do? Gene edit the fertilized eggs or embryos to delete the gene fragments involved in the family hereditary disease."
"This is a good idea because it will benefit the next generation."
"However, just like a computer, if you delete a piece of code, the entire system may run normally, but if an accident occurs, such as a hacker intrusion, and this piece of code is needed, what should I do?"
"What can I do? The machine is dead."
"Similarly, when edited humans suffer from diseases, the immune system needs to use this gene fragment, which is very likely to cause immune inefficiency and ultimately no cure."
"Furthermore, human beings are living creatures with variability. If a gene is deleted, adjacent gene segments may "eliminate each other," causing the following strange changes in gene-edited humans."
"It may be a change of temper and hatred of the same kind; it may be a tall and majestic person with a simple mind; it may be a discoloration of the skin and great strength..."
North American reporter: "Mr. Yu, fat black man, fat black man!"
Yu Yang heard the excited shouts and looked at the copy written by the Science and Technology Bureau on the teleprompter. He was slightly startled, thinking that his simple-minded brothers who needed to go out to gain knowledge would almost have believed it if they had not known that he was cheating.
"Nonsense. The premise of gene editing is to complete gene sequencing. That is, after editing, test whether the entire genetic system can operate normally. Otherwise, the gene chain will collapse and the living body will die. Do you know how much is needed for complete gene sequencing? Computing power, how much money?”
"Let me tell you, it requires 30,000 computers with a computing speed of 8 billion operations, and requires 70,000 graphics cards to form an array, and to run around the clock for 69 days. The total consumption will not be less than 3.8 billion US dollars." (Expensive at the time, now. Sequencing only costs 1,800 yuan)
North American reporter: "Mr. Yu, why do you know so well?"
Yu Yang looked at the copy edited by the Science and Technology Bureau and wanted to say, 'How the hell do I know? ’.
…
at the same time.
Xiangjiang, ADM Asia Pacific Headquarters.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith carefully analyzed the next step of three-yuan agriculture with the help of videos passed by reporters from the scene.
Wait until you hear what Yu Yang said about gene sequencing.
Old Smith contacted North America immediately.
Sure enough, someone is long on "Nasdaq, which owns a large number of technology concept stocks."
As well as long stocks of HP, Dell, Microsoft, Nvidia and other companies.
Fortunately, Sanyuan Agriculture's press conference was not broadcast live globally, and there were only a few forces who knew about it.
But when news of the press conference gets out, technology stocks are sure to take off.
After all, the 'genetic engineering technology' that the outside world hopes to obtain has been revealed by Yu Yang.
And gene sequencing, which has not yet been completed in the world, requires a large number of CPUs and massive graphics cards...
Old Smith lit a cigarette and said, "Our little friend finally reached out to the area beyond the east."
Mrs. Smith smiled slightly and said, "Wait until he stretches a little, and then cut it off."
Suddenly.
Old Smith's assistant hurried into the conference room.
"Mr. Smith, just now, there were more than 2,000 offshore accounts, in the name of North American private equity investment companies, shorting DuPont Biologics, Monsanto, Dow Chemical, Switzerland's Syngenta, Faguo Limagran, and Mexico's Sennis , Dutch Edvata, stocks of seven major seed companies, 10 times leverage.”
"And in some small and medium-sized securities companies, the leverage is as high as 30 to 50 times."
"A total of $775 million was purchased."
After hearing this, Old Smith looked towards the 'Three Yuan Agriculture press conference'.
What is certain is that the only person who can leverage the world's seven largest seed dealers is Yu Sanyuan.
Because the genetically optimized seeds have developed into the second generation.
Think tanks and many scientific research institutes speculate that three-line seeds are likely to surpass genetically modified seeds in the fourth generation.
And although the yield of optimized fruits and vegetables is not as good as that of genetically modified vegetables, the taste and texture have surpassed that of genetically modified fruits and vegetables, and their future competitiveness in the market will be unparalleled.
In general, it is not difficult at all for Yu Sanyuan to short the seven major seed dealers.
However, the other party would definitely not dare to do this.
One is Sanyuan Agriculture’s competitor, the Smith family, which dominates the two major stock markets in North America.
How much money Yu Sanyuan poured into the stock market was equal to how much money was trapped.
Second, once Sanyuan Agriculture shorts the world's seven largest seed companies, the foreign trade start-up created by beverage exports may be directly destroyed by China, the Netherlands, Switzerland, etc.
Third, Sanyuan Agriculture does not have that great influence overseas. Even if it can obtain more than 2,000 offshore accounts, it cannot obtain the corresponding North American private equity investment companies.
Therefore, the forces that are shorting the world's seven largest seed companies are not Yu Sanyuan.
"Who could that be?"
"Old Bu?"
More than 2,000 offshore accounts and more than 2,000 private equity investment companies are just the tip of the iceberg for the Lao Bu family.
But Lao Bu is a military businessman. In addition to his wife Barbara's natal family, there are several farms on the Texas-Mexico border used for smuggling weapons and noodles.
The Lao Bu family and the Carlisle Group controlled by Lao Bu do not have agriculture-related industries.
If there is no related industry, but you play stocks in this field, you will lose half of it directly.
Lao Bu is not that stupid.
So, it’s not Lao Bu either.
Old Smith took a deep breath, "Is there new capital, coveting the technology of three-yuan agriculture, intending to disrupt the situation and enter the market again?"
…
other side.
Wajima, Marubeni Trading Company.
Igawa Keiko, who had just assumed the position of president, walked into the office building escorted by two tall and tall Ikawa samurai.
Although she is very young, although the Igawa family has fallen into despair, although she does not have much prestige in the company.
But Rumsfeld's order can exempt all of this, making everyone in the company obedient.
Those who were disobedient were thrown into Tokyo Bay last night.
Including the head of the board of directors sent by Mitsubishi, the second shareholder, and the head of the supervisory board sent by Sanyo, the third shareholder, who was beheaded by a samurai sword at the shareholders' meeting.
It's a pity that Fujima's faction is very honest and actively cooperates, and cannot kick the other party out.
Of course, while openly fighting, the four shareholders also engaged in a series of secret fights.
For example, the Mitsubishi Samurai teamed up with hundreds of gangsters to attack the Igawa family's headquarters in Kobe, but the Ikawa Samurai beheaded hundreds of people.
For example, Sanyo sent more than a dozen gunmen to assassinate the only two remaining grandsons of the Igawa family.
For example, the Ikawa family counterattacked Mitsubishi and killed two sons of the opposing president Teru Tojo.
Well, Teru Tojo, the second son of the war criminal Tojo Ki.
Mitsubishi is not, as people think, mainly engaged in automobiles, air conditioners, and refrigerators.
In fact, it is the behemoth of Japan's land, sea and air, dominating Japan's warships, fighter planes, submarines, missiles and other defense industries.
It was transformed by Yataro Iwasaki and 'Lord of the Tosa Domain-Goto', who used the abandoned domain of Wajima to establish a prefecture and took over the official shipyard.
After World War II, the Iwaqi Foundation was disbanded, and Tojo Teru, the second son of the war criminal Tojo Ki, took over the company and became the president, and it has been running it to this day.
As for how the son of a war criminal became the head of a super enterprise.
That's up to North America.
Therefore, Mitsubishi is similar to Marubeni, with American capital behind it.
The largest shareholder is BlackRock, the second shareholder is Vanguard Group, the third shareholder is the Friendship Group, and the fourth shareholder is JP Morgan...
Normally, the Smith family, which controls BlackRock, should be able to control Mitsubishi Industries, and then use the rights of Marubeni's second shareholder to influence Marubeni.
But in fact, the Smith family has no say in Mitsubishi Industries. Even the old Smith did not dare to arrange for his own people to attend the Mitsubishi Industries shareholders' meeting.
Because whoever is sent there will be killed on the same day.
So much so that Teru Tojo has the final say at Mitsubishi Industries.
As for who Tojo Teru listened to...
The military-industrial complex behind the North American military-industrial complex.
They are also called North American Defense Contractors.
Including DuPont, Boeing, Raytheon, Grumman, Carlisle Group-Allied Defense...
It can be said that Mitsubishi Industries is the upstream supplier of the North American military-industrial complex. It is responsible for providing materials, experimental technology, testing original models, etc., and reducing all aspects of costs for the North American military-industrial complex.
What Igawa Keiko has to do today is to go long on Nasdaq and short on the seven major seed traders, and then use this as a cover to use short-term gains to short Mitsubishi Industries and replace Ikawa Industries.
Even if it cannot be replaced, it must capture 50% of Mitsubishi's materials business, 30% of its high-precision metal parts OEM business, and 20% of its armament parts OEM business.
It also received the Raytheon F-22 fire control system installation test project and the United Defense’s ‘ship-based missile vertical launch technology’ experimental project.
This is very important to Yu Sang.
Because the customers of Sany Heavy Industry are locked up in foreign trade business by American capital.
If Ikawa Industrial seizes half of Mitsubishi's business and then secretly gives it to Sany Heavy Industries, the latter can have a large number of loyal "CNC machine tool customers."
As for whether North America will stop the 'Ikawa family from shorting Mitsubishi Industries'...
North America must know that Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd., led by the Igawa family, is fighting with its second shareholder Mitsubishi and its third shareholder Sanyo. But they didn't stop.
Because the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
U.S. capital hopes to take advantage of the melee between the three parties to increase its controlling stake in the three Japanese companies.
Therefore, as long as the Igawa family group provides sufficient benefits to the US capital and is more submissive to the military-industrial complex, even if the Tojo family behind Mitsubishi Industries is eliminated, the US capital will not say anything.
It's a pity that the Igawa family is in decline and can't give much at the moment.
As a result, this time we can only take a bite from Mitsubishi Industries instead of killing Tojo Teru's family.
As for why Igawa Keiko listened to Yu Sanyuan.
Igawa Keiko sat at her desk, looking at the five busy traders, and a handsome bad guy came to mind...
"President, the press conference has entered the 'gene optimization stage'."
"Relevant news has been released to the outside world, and we are preparing to short the seven major seed dealers. When the stocks plummet, we will sell all the purchased parts, and then wait for the next step and short Mitsubishi Industries."
"yes!"
…
Xiangjiang, ADM Asia Pacific Headquarters.
Old Smith looked at Nasdaq, which had already taken off but was now lifted higher, with some trepidation.
Because Nasdaq has long been a bubble.
Who knows when it will be pierced, causing Nasdaq to be cut in half, cut in half, and then cut in half again.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to patch up Nasdaq so that this giant bubble will burst at the moment he wants.
To this end, Old Smith used two major securities companies in North America to withdraw massive amounts of U.S. dollars from the fund accounts of BlackRock, Vanguard Group, Blackstone Fund, Fortis Fund and other giants to receive the Nasdaq stocks sold by retail investors. Avoid plummeting across the board.
Fortunately, Yu Sanyuan doesn't have that much money. This time, he used the press conference to disclose the genetic engineering technology and took the opportunity to go long on Nasdaq. He could earn at most one to two billion US dollars.
As for the unknown forces shorting the six major seed dealers, they will be trapped as long as they wait two more hours for the U.S. stock market to be suspended.
"Something big will happen in these two hours."
Old Smith took off his glasses, put a few drops of eye drops on his eyes, and took out his mobile phone to contact his capable men, Soros and Buffett.
With two people in charge, plus myself, they are enough to deal with this raid on the financial market.
Just then.
The press conference relayed by frontline reporters began to describe the genetic optimization technology of ternary agriculture.
…
"The reason why I know how many computers and graphics cards are needed for gene sequencing is because the genetic optimization technology chosen by Sanyuan Agriculture is different from what the outside world imagines."
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he played the PPT.
There are 10 soybean seeds on the screen.
Sany soybean type A, high in fat.
Sany soybean type B, high yield.
Sany soybean type C, drought-resistant.
Sany soybean type D, anti-tuberculosis.
Sany soybean type E, resistant to pests...
At the same time, underneath these soybean seeds, there is also a lot of nonsense data fabricated by the Science and Technology Bureau.
For example, the genome of Sany soybean type A is composed of 20 chromosomes, with a total gene fragment of 1115Mbp, and the number of known genes is about 70,000.
For example, Sany soybean type A has a gene fragment related to high-fat characteristics, which is about 278Mbp and involves 8,000 genes.
also.
At the bottom of these soybean species, there is also a ‘three-line original species’.
Also called 32 embryo seeds, they are used to receive the advantages of 10 31 soybean seeds.
"I believe that all the gentlemen and ladies present here should be able to understand this PPT."
"Then, next, we have to appreciate the birth of Saner Soybean."
Accompanied by voice.
Sany soybean type A was crossed with B, C, D, etc. and the other nine soybean species 10,000 times respectively.
Immediately, type B was hybridized with C, D, and other eight soybean species.
In the same way, the same goes for C, D, E...
“The process is not complicated, it’s just a simple pairing.”
"But due to the huge amount of data, the current read and write speeds of floppy disks, optical disks and other media are relatively slow, so I thought of a graphics card with memory particles."
"The graphics card has a certain computing power. Although it is not as good as the CPU, it is indeed very suitable for 'soy matching' work."
"And the more graphics cards, the more total memory, and the faster pairing."
"Ultimately, we will obtain 177 billion Gbp of gene fragments, which is equivalent to approximately 1.77G of data."
"At this time, we need to filter the data to find the gene sequence we want, or find a gene sequence that is close to what we need."
"Unfortunately, since we only provided 10 basic seeds, instead of selecting 10,000 or even 100,000 basic seeds like the laboratory, we only got a high-fat and high-yielding 'quasi-32' soybean this time. kind'."
"Its disease resistance is average, it is not resistant to drought or cold, and it is easily drowned."
"However, it can be seen from this that the preliminary breeding work of three-yuan agriculture is..."
"Manually select the basic species, manually test the characteristics of the basic species, store them separately, and affix serial numbers."
"Then the characteristics of the basic species are entered into the database, just like the 10 basic species above, waiting for matching."
"The next step will definitely consume computer computing power..."
"And when we get the seed we want, since it is virtual data, how do we monetize it?"
"At this time, we need to intercept the 'final virtual species gene fragments' contained in tens of thousands, or even 100,000 basic seeds, and replace them with the original species."
"Note that this is not genetically modified, because we used computers to simulate the hybridization process and performed massive complex calculations, which shortened the evolution process."
"Although we used gene editing, we did not delete or modify genes, and the final product does not belong to gene editing in the traditional sense."
"After doing all this, we get three-two soybeans."
"But whether it can survive and whether it really has so many characteristics requires genetic sequencing, as well as trial planting, production testing, and inspection."
"So I know what equipment is needed for genetic sequencing."
“That’s why Sanyuan Agriculture is the first company in the world to complete gene sequencing.”
Wow…
Reporters present, including official representatives, applauded.
No matter what Yu Yang said is true or false.
At least the large-scale LEDs covering the entire background wall really shocked everyone by showing hundreds of millions of data strings, billions of genomes, and the process of reorganization, disassembly, and reorganization.
This is a scene that has never appeared in science fiction movies.
Or perhaps, future science fiction movies will stage this scene to reflect their own science fiction attributes.
Wow…
The scene burst into applause again.
Yu Yang clasped his fists and said, "The reason why we held a press conference today is due to the unreasonable suppression and unfair treatment of our Sanyuan Agriculture by overseas capital."
"Once again, I announce an important decision..."
As he spoke, he switched to PPT.
The background wall screen flashed, showing new content.
Yu Yang said: "Sanyuan Agriculture announced that starting from today, companies from any country in the world can entrust Sanyuan Agriculture to cultivate the seeds they want, or to genetically optimize specific seeds, or to genetically modify a certain organism. Sequencing…”
While talking, the reporter on the scene went crazy and pressed the camera shutter frantically.
Yu Yang waved his hand with a smile on his face, indicating to reporters that there was no need to be so crazy.
But reporters on the scene ignored it and became even crazier.
Some people even rushed up directly.
Yu Yang stood up and signaled, "Journalists..."
At this time, several North American reporters walked around the podium and continued to take pictures against the background wall.
The on-site staff had already reacted, rushed to the large LED switch, entered the password, and cut off the power.
Yu Yang turned around.
The moment the power was cut off, he saw through the screen afterimage that he had used the shipyard and blacksmith shop to configure the formula of plastic blasting particles, as well as the design drawings of an intercontinental hypersonic missile and an ultra-low-altitude hypersonic short-range missile.
Of course, the formula is obscured by data, and the design drawing is not fully displayed.
But the play still has to be played.
"Fuck!"
Yu Yang looked at the assistant operating the computer, who hurriedly ejected the floppy disk, then picked up another and stuffed it into the computer main case.
"Director Yu, you put the confidential CD in the materials, I don't know..."
Yu Yang's expression changed, "Seal down the scene and all reporters hand over their cameras and video equipment!!!"
…
Xiangjiang, ADM Asia Pacific Headquarters.
When the Smiths saw the images and pictures passed by the reporter, their expressions changed.
Fuck, Yu Sanyuan really dares to do this?
But if you think about it carefully, with the science and technology embodied in three-yuan agriculture and the industrial level demonstrated in the competition process, it is not difficult to build missiles.
The problem is...
He had what the Smith family had dreamed of!
At this time.
Old Smith's assistant walked in hurriedly.
"Sir, the stocks of the seven major seed merchants have plummeted, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism and suspending trading for 15 minutes, but there is still an hour and a half before the suspension."
Old Smith ignored the missiles and picked up his laptop to quickly check the information on the National Stock Exchange.
Unknown forces bought 775 million and were bearish on the seven major seed dealers. In conventional securities trading companies, the leverage was full, about 10 times, and in unconventional stock exchanges, they borrowed 20 to 50 times the shares.
Now that the circuit breaker mechanism is triggered, it is expected that US$20 billion will be taken away when transactions resume.
Old Smith pondered for a moment, "Pull up the stocks of the seven major seed dealers!"
"Yes, sir."
A little bit.
The Ice Bear News Agency suddenly revealed a shocking secret.
North American Steel purchased unqualified steel materials from Mitsubishi Industries, fabricated qualified test reports, and conducted fraud for 17 years.
During this period, these crudely made steel materials were used by many North American military industrial companies to produce aircraft carriers, battleships, and H-submarines.
at the same time.
North American Steel triggered a circuit breaker on the New York Stock Exchange.
The stocks of many military-industrial companies all fell sharply.
The stocks of Mitsubishi Industries in North America and Wajima all fell to the bottom.
Old Smith narrowed his eyes but had not yet spoken.
The translator murmured: "It turns out it's to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
