Chapter 618: The Battle of the System

"Let's talk about Jiagu's special rhizobia agents. ”

When Schroeder said this with a smile, he was full of helplessness.

As for China's soybean revitalization plan, Bunge is not without attention.

Even the "rumor" that the new soybean varieties promoted by the Chinese have yields of up to 400 kg / mu is no secret after the International Soybean Growers Alliance lobbied China back.

However, like many Westerners have such a high-minded taste of China in their bones, Bunge is also full of pride and prejudice against similar "rumors".

After some investigation, Bunge first confirmed that the soybean varieties promoted by the Chinese are still traditional varieties, not genetically modified varieties, and most of the worries have been dispelled; if there is anything to pay attention to, it is probably the supporting rhizobia preparation.

However, by inoculating rhizobia preparations, the average soybean yield increased by 10% is already an internationally recognized conventional technology, and it is really not a "secret weapon" in developed countries.

In the United States, the popularity of soybean rhizobia biological nitrogen fixation technology can reach 60%, which is one of the reasons for the high yield of soybeans in the United States. It is only in China, where the penetration rate is less than 1%, that rhizobia agents will be regarded as treasures.

Naturally, Bunge has not paid much attention to the changes that have taken place in China's soybean industry.

However, when Jiagu's special rhizobia preparation can increase soybean yield by an average of 30%~50%, this is not a "conventional" technology - this data is derived from the first wave of early maturing soybeans in China after harvesting. It is said that the soybeans planted by the Chinese in the south with sugarcane did not change to the highest-yielding "Jiadou No. 13", but only popularized the special rhizobia preparation of Jiagu, which ushered in a sharp increase in production.

This kind of tangible results is no better than any mouth cannon or laboratory data, and then insisting that the Chinese are bluffing is brainless.

Qi Zheng was not surprised that Bunge would first look at Jiagu's special rhizobia preparations.

As a supporting technology, there is no need to go through complex land enclosures, no need to go through hard land reclamation, no need to increase the conflict between labor and management, and only need to be promoted in the existing soybean plantations, which can have a significant yield increase, which is really valuable.

Such a technology is of great significance to the four major grain merchants that control the majority of soybean cultivation in the Americas.

Therefore, although he was extremely helpless about Bunji's misjudgment of the situation, Schroeder could only quickly turn his brain and prepare to deal with Qi Zheng's lion mouth.

Qi Zheng behaved like a pure good friend: "Based on our good cooperative relationship with Bunge, we are very happy to share special rhizobia agents if Bunge needs it......"

Watt? That's it? Schroeder, who was waiting for him, almost flashed his waist like a stick on cotton.

Schroeder didn't believe that this guy would be so easy to talk to, his eyes, his expression, all told Qi Zheng, don't try to lie to me, what conditions, just say it.

Qi Zheng smiled, and then said: "It's just that our special rhizobia preparations, Bunge is estimated to be unable to grasp and use. ”

Schroeder chuckled in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat and said: "Don't underestimate us." If breeding is not our strong point, we still have a strong accumulation in the fertilizer business. ”

Microbial preparation products made from rhizobia as production strains are, in the final analysis, nothing more than a bacterial fertilizer.

Of course, Qi Zheng will not underestimate Bunge's accumulation in the field of fertilizer, and no one dares to underestimate the fertilizer overlord in South America.

But......

Qi Zheng shrugged: "My friend, you must know that rhizobia nodulation is specific and selective, so a rhizobia usually only nodules and fixes nitrogen on one or a few legumes. Jiagu's special rhizobia agents are also only matched to specific soybean varieties. ”

"Huh?" Schroeder's heart sank.

Bunge understands that such a possibility exists, but he never wants to see such a possibility become a reality. Such a good "weapon" for increasing production can only be seen if it can't be used, which is too bad.

"Of course, the specific effect has to be proved by the test, and we can provide samples of the preparation for Bunge to test for himself. Qi Zheng smiled mysteriously.

Schroeder observed Qi Zheng's relaxed expression with an inexplicable expression, and after a while, he thanked him: "Thank you, no matter what the value is, we have recorded Jiagu's sincerity." ”

Schroeder came full of hope, but was dismissed by Qi Zheng's words, and there was not much interest in playing golf later.

Qi Zheng looked at his calm steps that were definitely not as expressionless, and his heart was a little excited.

Bunge, or the Big Four, has yet to realize that China's revitalized soybean industry is a competition between another system.

Genetically modified soybeans led by multinational grain merchants are matched with water and fertilizer, pesticides, machinery, credit, etc., and are a complete set of systems.

The four major grain merchants, together with seed giants such as Monsanto, have formed an alliance of interests to maximize their profits in this genetically modified soybean industry system.

If Jiagu only makes one or a few leading things, it will basically be useless compared to the entire genetically modified soybean industry system. If the domestic soybean industry wants to live comfortably, it can only develop its own competition system without being influenced by these alliances of interests.

Qi Zheng did not lie to Schroeder, Jiagu's special rhizobia preparation is tied to domestic soybeans, or in other words, it is tied to Jiagu soybean varieties.

This kind of bondage, which is based on the assimilation of "Reiki", is difficult for genetically modified soybean interest groups to lift. Unless the whole system of soybean production of the Jiagu system is introduced, as in the Russian Far East, can its true value be brought into play, otherwise, it is not as effective as the general rhizobia preparation.

But will the multinational grain chamber abandon its own system and lean towards Jiagu?

Think about it with your ass and you know the answer - the repression is pretty much the same.

The reason why they haven't realized this now, and Qi Zheng can also see it, is because of their consistent pride.

China is on the rise, we are both their customers and their adversaries, they need us, they have to guard against us, they are both proud and afraid.

With their first-mover and strong technical and economic strength, they can still be proud and confident, in their eyes, the Western system represents the advanced dominance, while the East has always been backward, subordinate and subordinate—so that they can rest assured that they only work four and a half days a week, drink until dawn at night, and work only by making a few phone calls......

What scares them is that they can't stop us at all, just like the revitalization of domestic soybeans as scheduled.

In the past, Jiagu was only a "bridge pier" - "Jiadou No. 13" high-yielding variety, special rhizobia preparation, farmers' cooperatives...... It is only a problem in a certain link in the industrial chain that is solved.

Now, when Jiagu began to connect the scattered piers and pave the bridge deck, we slowly formed our own soybean production system.

Qi Zheng is excited that the domestic soybean system is showing its power as soon as it is established, and more agricultural production systems are looming.
