"Zhang Jun, didn't you explain the benefits of participating in this selection to your company's senior management?" said Jiro Watanabe in disbelief. See. Wool, Chinese net

Zhang Zehong adhered to Qi Zheng's concept of "let you have all kinds of calculations, I will not move", shook his head and said, "In fact, our Xianming rice is already in short supply, and we are interested in becoming famous internationally, but we are not in a hurry." After all, this is your country's selection activity, unless we get an official invitation, otherwise, as international friends, we will not be in a big way. ”

The corners of Jiro Watanabe's mouth twitched.

There were so many slots in this statement that he didn't know where to refute it.

How good it sells, huh?

Do you have to get an official invitation to participate in the selection? Why don't you go to heaven?

Besides, where did you get the confidence that if you participate in the selection, you will be in a big way?

Well, if Xianming rice is elected, it is very likely to dominate!

But we don't want to lose face, everyone is Oriental, what about the modesty?

Jiro Watanabe was not reconciled, and he continued to persuade Zhang Zehong to promote cooperation.

But Zhang Zehong didn't want to accompany this man who was destined to be disappointed, and after a sincere perfunctory experience, he left.

After being rejected by Kaya, Jiro Watanabe did not give up, and after repeated and four attempts of persuasion to no avail, his activities in Nankai City became active.

On the one hand, they are visiting the government with the intention of promoting cooperation at the official level. However, Jiagu's cooperation with the government is more solid - it is a big investment, and it is also cultivating and leading an industry of tens of billions. If Jiagu does not cooperate, the government will not force it at all.

Jiro Watanabe frequently visits rice fields for harvesting, and has been in contact with the members of the cooperative, saying that he wants to learn more about the production process of Senmei rice, and even wants to discuss rice improvement plans with the researchers in the laboratory......

"This is simply Sima Zhao's heart!" Zhang Zehong said indignantly, "This little devil is not open to dark, he must be coveting our rice resources!"

After Qi Zheng learned about Jiro Watanabe's itinerary, his face was calm, "What's the panic, hasn't the laboratory experimented, Xianming rice can't be grown in other places at all, even if he steals our rice, the eggs are useless!"

Zhang Zehong does not have Qi Zheng's self-confidence, and has heard many stories about the business community of island countries trying to steal domestic patents, and he has already raised the highest vigilance against Jiro Watanabe.

"Where is this kind of thing accurate? The so-called not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what if, other parts of the country cannot be planted, what if there is a suitable place for planting in the island country?"

"Besides, have you forgotten the lesson of our country on the loss of soybean germplasm resources?"

Speaking of which, this is another sad story.

China is the homeland of soybean, with the most abundant wild soybean germplasm resources, and is a treasure house for soybean variety improvement in the world.

Since the twenties and thirties of the last century, the Americans have come to China to inspect and collect wild soybean materials, when the country was in the era of foreign invasion, warlord scuffle, frequent disasters, and people's livelihood, who would care about the precious soybean wild resources being arbitrarily extracted?

Even so, in the 70s, the United States sent a large delegation of plants to visit our country. At that time, it was the soybean ripening season in the northern region, and the delegation was personally accompanied by Chinese people, and traveled around the country to collect different types of wild soybean resources.

As the saying goes, "those who know are like treasures, and those who abandon them are like shoes", these "weeds" that are considered to grow everywhere in China have become precious soybean breeding materials in the United States, and have also become important test materials for biotechnology companies as genetically modified research and commercial utilization.

At the beginning of the new century, the media exposed a major news in the field of agricultural scientific research: "Planting Chinese soybeans infringes on US patent rights!"

It turned out that Monsanto of the United States applied for an international patent for high-yield soybeans and their cultivation and testing in 101 countries around the world, including China. The patent stems from a parent of a wild soybean material in the suburbs of Shanghai, China, which was crossed with another soybean variety to create a new variety with a genetic "marker".

Monsanto's ownership of the patent means that it has a monopoly on all soybean varieties, including control of this wild soybean genetic resource in China.

In other words, without Monsanto's approval, Chinese researchers will not be able to use genetic "markers" to conduct research or breed new soybean varieties on their own, even though it comes from China!

When the news came out, the people of the country were in an uproar.

The first fierce reaction is that foreigners blatantly "steal" China's soybean resources, obviously "you took China's wild soybeans, preemptively registered them as your own patents, and in turn peddled them to China!"

However, after reflecting on the past, the process of domestic soybean resources continuing to flow abroad is "both thieves and moles". However, the main reason is that China's understanding of germplasm resources started late.

The vast land and abundant resources have given birth to abundant crop species resources, but it has also made insufficient attention to its protection and excavation and utilization.

This is true for soybeans, and the same is true for rice.

In addition to being transferred to the United States, the early promotion of hybrid rice in China has been set as the preferred strategic measure to solve the problem of food shortage in other countries by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, so it has been promoted free of charge.

Nowadays, in terms of hybrid rice seed resources, foreign countries have actually obtained basic genetic resources, and from a technical point of view, it is entirely possible to develop excellent hybrid rice combinations suitable for local applications.

If we sell a large number of new hybrid rice varieties abroad without applying for genetic protection from the local country, it is possible for enterprises and even individuals in the local country to slightly improve these new varieties and protect them in their own name, thus becoming their intellectual property rights, resulting in the problem of "planting Chinese rice infringes on foreign rights......

Zhang Zehong spoke of these lessons bitterly, and said that these tragedies must not be allowed to happen to Jiagu.

Qi Zheng was dumbfounded.

Zhang Zehong is not him after all, he doesn't know that Xianming rice can't survive without the spirit array, although there are laboratory tests to prove it, but in his opinion, the risk still exists.

I think Jiro Watanabe has the same idea, what if? When the blind cat still encounters a dead mouse, if he can make a breakthrough, it will really happen!

Qi Zheng thought about it and did not object to Zhang Zehong's opinion.

Even if Xianming rice is not afraid of seed loss, other excellent crop varieties in Jiagu still need to pay attention to this problem, and it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to establish a germplasm loss prevention system.

"And what do you want to do?"

Zhang Zehong's eyes rolled, and he laughed......

So the next day, Jiro Watanabe found that he was being taken care of by Katani - wherever he went, he was accompanied by Kaya's people, and he was called a professional tour guide.

Jiro Watanabe "......"

There is no need for members to come into contact, and if you have any questions, you can ask the "professionals" around you directly; you can visit the rice fields, but you can just look at them from a distance, and getting too close will affect the harvesting operation......

Watanabe Jiro enjoyed the "close" protection of Katani in this way, and no one stopped him when he protested, and he was always "sent out of the country", and Zhang Zehong breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Zheng saw that he was relaxed, and deliberately said, "Actually, if we have the heart, it is difficult for us to completely prevent the outflow of rice, even if you prevent it this time, as long as you work hard, you can get our rice." ”

"Take Thailand, for example, they protect rice seeds tightly enough, and jasmine rice seeds are banned from being exported. In the experimental field on a hill in the production base, ditches more than one meter wide have been dug all around, and it is impossible to reach out and pick a few grains of grain; the airport customs inspection is strict, and it is difficult to smuggle the grain out of the country. ”

"But if you really want to get the seeds of Thai jasmine rice, can't you get them at all? ”

"It's just that if you are born in Huainan, you will be orange, and if you are born in Huaibei, you will be orange. Top rice is different from other varieties and mainly depends on the place of origin. The origin does not meet the standards, and it is useless to have seeds. ”

Zhang Zehong was taken aback, frowned again, and said, "Then you can only rely on luck?"

Qi Zheng glanced down at the "Array Ring" that appeared on his fingers, and said with a light smile, "I still don't believe that little devils have such good luck, just look at it, they are destined to be in vain!"

"However, Jiagu still needs to have seed protection measures, you go back and discuss with the strategy department to see how to avoid this situation. ”

Zhang Zehong agreed, but he still sighed, and he always felt that he was not as optimistic as Qi Zheng.

On the other side, on the plane back home, Jiro Watanabe, who had tried his best to pass through the customs security check, took out a small handful of plump rice, smelled the fragrance of rice, and smiled proudly.

Although it is a pity that Jiagu refuses to cooperate, he has long prepared a plan for the other party's refusal to cooperate.

Even if Jiagu is prepared, he is definitely experienced in this kind of operation.

Katagu is still a little tender.

Not much paddy was obtained, but it was enough to carry out preliminary studies.

Of course, he also knew that the origin of the top rice was very important, but what if, if he could get the favor of Amaterasu, even if he could not replicate the Xianming rice, it would be worth the trip to improve the Hokkaido rice varieties.

If you are lucky enough to cultivate a complete Xianming rice, you will be able to completely dominate the island country, and it feels beautiful to think about......
