Bao Feiyang couldn't help frowning, if according to his thoughts, this matter should be handled as much as possible, and it is best to be able to start work in the afternoon. However, the invited experts are not cadres of the development zone, and he cannot be demanding.

"Do you have their phone numbers?" asked Bao Feiyang.

"Yes!" Wu Yucheng hurriedly took out a work notebook from his bag, flipped to the latest place and handed it to Bao Feiyang: "These are the people." ”

"Okay, you prepare, also call Xiao Wu, let's go to the city again in the evening, you may also have to prepare to go to the provincial capital and negotiate with the Daxia Seed Industry Development Company. Bao Feiyang took the note and said while copying down the phone number.

Wu Yucheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I can leave at any time." ”

After Wu Yucheng left, Bao Feiyang picked out the phone number of Zheng Yuqiong, a teacher at the Municipal Agricultural School, and called: "Teacher Zheng, hello, I am Bao Feiyang, director of the Development Zone Management Committee of Haizhou Lingang Economic Development Zone, and I want to ask you about some things." ”

"Oh, hello Director Bao, is it about the wheat harvest?" Zheng Yuqiong, as a teacher at the agricultural school, when the development zone contacted the agricultural school to find experts in the morning, Zheng Yuqiong was the candidate recommended by the agricultural school, but Bao Feiyang had not met Zheng Yuqiong yet.

Bao Feiyang briefly explained the situation and asked, "That's the case, I want to ask what does this highest ninth level mean?"

"I see. Zheng Yuqiong was silent for a moment before he said: "Let's put it this way, this resistance standard is a statistic on the infection of wheat in the case of experiments. For example, 10,000 wheat plants, all infected with leaf rust, and then we count them. Some of these single plants have better resistance, the disease is relatively mild, there may be only a small rust spot on the leaf and may even be completely resistant, but it may also die completely, we have to count it in various cases, the average level of five means that the average infection value of statistics is level five, what does this mean. If we use high resistance, medium resistance, and low resistance to express it, it should be medium resistance. If you add the levels of low susceptibility, medium susceptibility, and susceptibility, this is also the level of low susceptibility, and the incidence rate should be about 20%. ”

"Level 5 has only 20 percent infection rate, because more than 50 percent would be classified as level 9. If the resistance to common diseases is above level 9, then this variety cannot be marketed according to the regulations, of course, some rare diseases have nothing to do. Zheng Yuqiong said: "However, the statement that you just mentioned the highest level of nine means that in the case of leaf rust transmission infection, there is a possibility that more than half of the infection or even the harvest will not be lost, this risk is very large, for common infectious diseases, we usually should not choose this seed." Because of a very simple algorithm, even if the seed can increase the yield by 10%, once the disease occurs, the harvest will be lost. The loss is 100 percent, and even if it happens once in ten years, the gains of the first nine years of production increase will be in vain. ”

"Now we often talk about good seeds, good seeds. In addition to yield, there are two very important indicators, one is quality, in the case of wheat, starch content and protein content are quality. Even the whiteness is different, and the quality of flour from different wheat mills is different. Poor quality may only be used to feed pigs; another is resistance, poor resistance, two sick in three days, to use pesticides, even pesticides are not good, obviously such seeds can never be regarded as good seeds. ”

Zheng Yuqiong said: "At present, there is a trend in China's breeding industry, that is, too much pursuit of yield, what super rice, super wheat, super corn keep appearing, and the yield is also rising, but the simple yield is meaningless, you can't grow it in the field, because the growing conditions are different, and the quality is not good, what is the use of high yield?

Zheng Yuqiong obviously had a lot of opinions on this issue, and when he heard Bao Feiyang ask, he immediately made a long speech and said a lot.

Bao Feiyang heard Zheng Yuqiong start to criticize the chaos in the domestic breeding field, and began to complain a lot, and quickly interrupted him and said: "Teacher Zheng, does the country have any requirements for the resistance index of this wheat seed? I mean, for example, can he sell the highest ninth-level seeds, and if something goes wrong, can I ask him for compensation?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. Zheng Yuqiong paused and said: "China has a vast territory, and the pests and diseases in various places are different, for example, leaf rust is more common in the south, and it may be very rare in the north, so the country has not formulated a unified standard, because if it is a rare disease, it doesn't matter if the resistance is poor." You can choose according to your local situation. ”

"There were not many cases of large-scale leaf rust in Haizhou before, but there may be a problem in this, that is, our local rice varieties in Haizhou are relatively resistant to leaf rust, so the introduction of improved varieties is very complicated, at least now it seems that this Qiangmai No. 5 is problematic. ”

"Hmm. Bao Feiyang nodded, expressing his understanding, because the situation is not the same across the country, so the country does not have a unified requirement that varieties with resistance below how many grades cannot be sold or planted, but a grading standard for resistance has been formulated.

That is to say, there is no problem for Daxia Seed Industry Development Company to sell this kind of Qiangmai No. 5 wheat seeds, and their problem lies in the inconsistency of internal and external labels, and there is a suspicion of deliberate fraud, especially in the promotional materials issued by the Jiangbei Provincial Office of Daxia Seed Industry Development Company, the highly resistant propaganda slogan is very eye-catching.

"Teacher Zheng, that's the case, let's go to the city in the evening, please have a meal with the two teachers from the Agricultural Bureau and the seed company, and then ask you specifically about this seed resistance problem, do you think it's okay?" Bao Feiyang sent out an invitation.

Zheng Yuqiong said: "Okay, this incident reflects that there are still problems in the management of seeds in our city, and I can communicate with you when I have this opportunity." ”

Bao Feiyang personally called and invited two "experts" from the Municipal Agricultural Technology Station and the seed company, and they were also happy to agree, but in their opinion. It is also normal for Bao Feiyang to send out invitations, because the experts' appraisal opinions will affect the qualitative and handling of the final matter, such as the failure of this seed. It can be said that there is a problem with the seeds, or it can be said that there is a problem with the farmers when they are cultivating and taking care of it.

After Bao Feiyang finished the call, he called Yan Anping over again and talked to him about the communication with several shipbuilding repair companies in the afternoon: "You prepare, tomorrow we will go to the Xugou shipyard together." ”

Speaking of this, Bao Feiyang paused before continuing: "By the way, how much do you know about the Xugou Shipyard and Wang Zipeng?"

Yan Anping thought for a while and said: "The Xugou Shipyard was originally a joint venture shipyard between the Shipping Bureau and Guandong County. The boss of shipbuilding in the city is Haizhou Shipbuilding, and any orders will be given priority to Haizhou Shipyard. The Xugou shipyard was not taken seriously. However, Wang Zipeng is still capable, after he served as the factory director, he has paid close attention to management in recent years, and he has taken a group of sales staff to run around. I grabbed a lot of business from Haizhou Shipyard. ”

"Now the situation of Haizhou's shipbuilding market is basically Haizhou shipyard to contract orders from municipal enterprises and a small number of thousand-ton orders, other small ship orders, individual and private orders are taken by the shipyard, the state-owned shipping company in recent years operating in general, but the demand for private boats has increased greatly, so the benefits of the shipyard are better than those of Haizhou shipyard. It is said that in the past two years, Xugou has been preparing to expand the scale of the slipway, requiring a large slipway of 1,000 tons or even 5,000 tons, including 1,000 tons in the past, most of which were also handed over to the shipyards in Tongcheng and Qindao. Yan Anping was able to be selected by Xue Shaohua to be sent to the development zone, and was originally prepared to let him take over the work of the development zone. As a cadre born and raised in Haizhou, he also has a good understanding of many situations in Haizhou City.

Bao Feiyang nodded. He also looked at the information of Haizhou's shipbuilding industry these days, but there are some things that cannot be seen in the information, and after Yan Anping said this, he is much clearer: "Well, you should pay more attention to the Xugou Shipyard and Wang Zipeng, and our development zone will do shipbuilding industry." Local resources still need to be utilized. ”

Yan Anping nodded hurriedly: "However, the shares of the Xugou Shipyard should be 50% each owned by the Municipal Shipping Bureau and Guandong County, whether it is to move the Xugou Shipyard to the development zone." Or put the newly built slipway in the development zone, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance. ”

"Of course, no one wants the cake in their bowl to be cut away, but we don't want to grab the project in Guandong County, we can exchange, you can also think about it in this regard, what suitable projects can be put in Guandong County, or cooperate with Guandong County to do it, we can't let Guandong County suffer, and even let them get cheap, this matter can naturally be done." Bao Feiyang said.

Yan Anping laughed twice: "I'm afraid this is not easy, although the Xugou Shipyard is not big, but for Guandong County, it is almost a pillar industry, to dig up the entire Xugou Shipyard, I am afraid that Secretary Zhong will fight with us, I suspect that after he hears the news, maybe he will come to the director today to trouble you." ”

"It seems that Secretary Zhong's work style is vigorous and resolute. Bao Feiyang smiled and said, "If he comes, it will save me the trouble of going to him." ”

Bao Feiyang was talking to Yan Anping when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and the voice of Huo Yingcai, the deputy director, sounded at the door: "Director, are you inside?"

"Come in!" Bao Feiyang said.

Huo Yingcai pushed open the door and walked into the room with Wang Zhonghou, the manager of the seed company, both of whom had some joy on their faces.

"Director Bao, I have found evidence, this harvest is really none of my business. Wang Zhonghou said with some excitement as she raised her two hands, one of which was holding a bag of seeds, and the other holding a small piece of paper.

"Director Bao, you see this is the label inside the seed bag, which says that the highest resistance to leaf rust is level nine, that is to say, if this Qiangmai No. 5 is infected by leaf rust, it will be harvested in the worst case, this is the defect of this seed, I really didn't use fake seeds!" Wang Zhonghou has already begun to be investigated by discipline inspectors in the afternoon, even if he is confident that there is no handle on the batch of seeds of Qiangmai No. 5 for the discipline inspection committee to find, but in other aspects, he does not dare to guarantee it. Wang Zhonghou was also about to be cornered, and finally let him find the label in this bag, he was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly contacted Huo Yingcai, and then came to find Bao Feiyang.

Bao Feiyang didn't pick up what Wang Zhong took over: "Manager Wang, so you haven't read this label before, and you don't know that Qiangmai No. 5's resistance to leaf rust will reach level 9 at the most?"

Wang Zhonghou hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes." I really don't know, and if I had, I wouldn't have introduced this seed. I didn't expect that a company as big as the Great Xia Seed Industry Development Company would sell such substandard seeds, I am innocent-"

"Innocent?" Bao Feiyang suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table: "As the manager of a seed company, you didn't even read the label in the bag clearly when you introduced and sold this new seed, how do you do things?"

"You saw it, too, this bag of seeds. It determines the harvest of two acres of land in one season, and these seeds are in addition to problems. The income of these two acres of land in one season is lost, and the farmer has to put a lot of money into it, and buying your seeds is equivalent to pinning this season's income on it. But what about you, that's how you check everyone?" Bao Feiyang stared at Wang Zhonghou and said loudly.

"Ahh

"The reason why farmers go to the seed company to buy seeds is because they believe that the seed company is run by the government and can be trusted, but you have failed to live up to their trust and have not strictly reviewed the seeds sold to them. Nearly 20,000 acres of wheat were harvested, and the losses were as high as tens of millions, and the development zone had to bear tens of millions of losses for this. Do you still think you're innocent?"

"I, I'm ......" Wang Zhonghou was speechless for a moment.

Huo Yingcai looked at Yan Anping, the latter's eyes were lowered, and he didn't mean to speak, Huo Yingcai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Director, since this is a seed problem, if you want to pay for it, it should also be the compensation of Daxia Agriculture." Besides, it doesn't seem like you need to accompany so much?"

"It's not that simple. Bao Feiyang glared at Wang Zhonghou fiercely: "If there is no label, this batch of wheat will not be harvested." We can also say that the seed index given by Daxia Agriculture, the fifth level of resistance is a false standard, but with this label, Daxia Agriculture can say that they do not have a false standard, as for whether to use these seeds, that is a matter of your seed company, maybe there are no leaf rust in some places, so it is okay to use it?"

Wang Zhonghou raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "But, if that's the case, those farmers buy seeds completely voluntarily, and they can't let the company lose money or money, right?"

The more Wang Zhonghou said, the weaker his voice became, if according to the normal commodity transaction, as long as the seed company clearly marked the product and did not deliberately deceive, naturally there was no need to guarantee the harvest after the seed grows, especially in the case of pests and diseases. However, the seed company is a state-owned institution, not a simple place to sell seeds, but also undertakes public functions such as guiding the cultivation of crops in the region and improving varieties.

Now the results of the experts' identification have not yet come out, but this time the failure of the No. 5 seed of Qiangmai has a lot to do with the low resistance of this variety to leaf rust. However, low resistance and high risk do not mean that you will necessarily be infected with this disease, agriculture depends on the weather, and this time, it cannot be said that there was a natural disaster, but luck did not come, at least the year before the first use of Qiangmai No. 5 did not occur the spread of leaf rust, and the final yield was indeed higher than other varieties.

Agriculture depends on the weather, the risk is relatively large, under the mature system, there should be agricultural insurance, but the domestic agricultural insurance has not been promoted, the whole Haizhou has not yet had this insurance. If there is insurance, the insurance company can pay the claim, and now there is no insurance, and if the seed company is not willing to pay, there is no problem legally, but these farmers will have to bear the losses alone, and some families will be in trouble.

Moreover, the relationship between farmers and seed companies cannot be seen as a purely commercial relationship, and the government can neither sit idly by and watch the affected farmers do nothing, nor can it allow the seed companies and the government to lose credibility together, and ultimately the government will take care of the intelligence.

Wang Zhonghou is obviously well aware of the consequences, and if the government does not compensate them, the peasants will certainly not be able to accept this result, so they will have to continue to go to the seed company, to the development zone, and even to the city and province to ask for explanations, as they did in the morning.

He just felt that since the responsibility was not with the seed company, or at least not the responsibility of the seed company, then the compensation did not need to be so much, and there was no need to compensate two or three hundred yuan per household according to the standard of 400 yuan per acre, and 100 yuan per acre of land would be about the same.

Bao Feiyang glanced at Wang Zhonghou: "The seed company is responsible for this matter, the seed company can't pay compensation, and the development zone can only cover the bottom, as for the standard of compensation, in short, we can't let the people suffer." ”

Bao Feiyang waved his hand: "Okay, before the conclusion of the expert group's investigation comes out, the investigation of the seed company will continue, and I don't want the same problem to occur next time." ”

Bao Feiyang said.

Wang Zhonghou's face suddenly turned pale, he came to find Bao Feiyang, just hoping that Bao Feiyang would stop staring at the seeds and check down, check and check, even if he has no problems in the matter of Qiangmai No. 5, other aspects can't withstand such an investigation, as long as he continues to investigate, his problems will be exposed sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, Bao Feiyang seemed to have known that Qiangmai No. 5 had an internal label, but he obviously did not give up his intention to continue to investigate.

Wang Zhonghou suddenly felt a little desperate. (To be continued)
