Chapter 512: Scared So Soon?

When the audience saw Link say that "sex with the 'beast [56] is 'actually the same', so they are ashamed to say it", the anti-GMO advocates applauded, and the supporters were dumbfounded.

Still, regardless of what they thought of Link's claims, the interview was still playing.

Jessica added later: "In fact, we only ate green food two years ago, and then we only ate what we could grow, or farmed. We don't eat genetically modified foods, but we do eat produce using the Benihans technology. For the past year, the bread, cakes and other wheat products we have eaten have been made from flour grown from wheat seeds grown by the Benehans company. Link's vineyards are using biological pest control products produced by Benihans. ”

"According to the scientific community, if a chronic disease is caused by food, it takes two to three years for digestive diseases to accumulate, and cancer takes eight to ten years to accumulate," she continues with a smile. In short, food safety is definitely not 90 days to prove that it is safe. We know our product the most and are the most confident that it is safe. So we're eating it ourselves. ”

"The reason why we dare to eat the so-called genetically modified foods that we produce ourselves is because we don't think of ourselves as gods, and their changes are still within the constraints of nature, and they are 'essentially the same' as traditional agricultural products," Link said. In contrast, other companies only dare to say that there is no evidence that their food is harmful. So, if we get sick from eating our own things, we can be sure that it is our body's own problem. However, some companies will say: even if you don't eat their food, you will get sick, so you can't prove that the disease is related to their food. Of course, you really can't prove that you got sick because you ate their stuff. Because no matter what evidence you come up with, they will retort: if you don't eat anything, you will die!"

The team that interviewed Amanda cut it out overnight and then spent a morning promoting it. She didn't know how effective the publicity would be.

Since the video was uploaded, she has been following the changes in video viewing data. The data at the beginning was not encouraging. However, in the afternoon, the number suddenly soared, and in the evening it exceeded 6 million.

It's not that high, but it's the best compared to the other videos on her private website. Other videos, the number of views in a day, is only 500,000 times at most.

Seeing this data, she couldn't be more satisfied. This is not only because she can get more advertising money based on this number of views, but more importantly, she feels that this data can satisfy Link.

The platform for Link's counterattack this time, of course, is the most ideal for those TV stations. Although the TV interview cannot be broadcast at any time like her here, the audience is more stable and the influence is greater.

If he is worried about time, Link can go to Meiya Media Group.

Amanda is also in New York, and some time ago, Meiya Media took advantage of the craze for Link to win the Venetian Casino Hotel, and made a fierce promotion. Of course, she knew about Link's participation. So if Link wants to do an interview on TV, it can be broadcast on the same day.

She didn't understand why Link was looking for her. However, she felt it was a key opportunity to seize Link's line. If Link can be satisfied this time, her cooperation with Link will be stronger in the future.

Amanda and Link were satisfied. But some people are not satisfied.

For example, those who support GM - mainly those who rely on GM technology to eat, people from various related interest industries.

Link didn't explain what GMO is in the interview, but he uncovered everything they didn't want the public to know about GMO. The root cause of people's opposition to GM is the fear that GM will cause genetic instability. Now, however, Link is even more concerned with morality: he equates heterologous GMOs with beasts[45].

These people understand this, of course, but they don't think it's wrong to see themselves as God's equal Creator.

In fact, Link doesn't think it's wrong either.

Link also said in an interview: "In fact, we oppose heterologous genetically modified organisms, and only oppose the use of heterogeneous genetically modified technology to abuse it in agriculture before it can be proven harmless." Some genetically modified products have been proven to be extremely beneficial to humans, such as the hepatitis B vaccine and the production of insulin, which are produced using genetically modified technology. They benefit humanity as a whole. Even if the cotton gene is used in sheep, the wool produced is only worn outside the body, as long as it is not poisonous, I think it is acceptable. ”

"But agricultural products are not medicines. Nor is it an external object. Drugs are only used on patients, and patients are taking risks when they receive treatment. Food is a necessity for all of us and will eventually become part of our body. The key point is that we don't have to take any risks when we eat. But when we eat heterogeneically modified foods that have not been proven harmless, we run the risk of drug side effects. That's not fair to us!"

He sneered at the camera and said, "They tampered with our subject matter and then said we were hypocrites? We can provide a full toxicology test report to the public before our products are sold. We are not afraid of causing our 'big loss' after letting the public know about those things because they are afraid to use them. ”

"Yes, you heard it right. They said that after we looked at their toxicology experiments, they would have significant losses. I can't think of any major loss from this, which is not experimental data for product development, but just medical reports of a few mice. They fear that it will cause them significant losses. I can't think of any other reason for them to refuse to show us their products other than that the mouse's medical report would have scared us and turned us down. ”

In St. Louis, the bald old man was also watching Link's interview video. His originally gloomy face was now gloomy. He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake in initiating a confrontation from the media.

Link not only refuted, but even took the opportunity to distinguish between Benehans's genetically modified technology and theirs.

And he found that he couldn't argue with Link anymore.

The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, and as long as you speak seriously, the truth is easy to come out.

They can turn to something else, deliberately vague the concept. But Link wouldn't do that. Link is clear about what he is against, and why he is against it. And to the heart of the matter – "unproven harmful" can be applied to drugs, but not necessarily to food.

Perhaps few people have embraced this notion yet. But once this idea is accepted by the public, most of their products will be driven out of the market.

In particular, he was worried that Link's public opposition to heterologous GMOs would cause a chain reaction.

There are indeed many scientists who support genetically modified technology, but there are also many who oppose genetically modified food. Those independent scientists who have been suppressed will inevitably come out again to make trouble when they see an opportunity.

The scientists were disobedient, but he had to admit that they might be more capable than the chief scientists he had hired. If these scientists and Link join forces. With Link's financial resources, the destructive power of those sciences to them, I don't know how many Samuel Epsteins will be.

That Epstein, who once cost him at least billions of dollars. Although it was the milk industry and there was no direct use of GMO technology, the so-called recombinant bovine growth hormone was a genetically modified product. That Epstein study proved that hormone increases the risk of cancer in milk. As a result, milk producers have to label their dairy products and promise that they do not contain milk sources that use the hormone.

His face was gloomy, and he didn't want to admit it in his heart, and he could only accept this defeat. He picked up the phone, dialed a number and said, "Stop all reporting." …… Yes, stop now. ”

He only hopes now that his worries don't arise. The last leak almost wiped out politicians close to his company. Now those politicians have to be careful with their dealings. He doesn't have the freedom to do whatever he once wanted.

And Link, of course, is watching the development of this matter. He's waiting for his opponent's move. However, he didn't wait for the other party's follow-up move, only waited for Mr. Jiang's phone call.

Mr. Jiang told him in very subtle words: If he has such news to announce next time, he can go to Meiya Media.

Link smiled perfunctorily.

Of course, he knew that he could go to Meiya Media. But why did he look for them? Just because he owns 15 percent of them?

But he wanted more.

Now American Chinese television needs to expand its influence. As Amanda said, he is confident that a lot of the United States is interested in his affairs. His interview should be regarded as a program that is easy for people outside the Chinese community to want to watch.

But after he helped increase the ratings of American Chinese TV, what good did he have?

It was precisely because he should have given the interview to American Chinese TV that he specially asked Amanda to do this interview. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want American Chinese TV to be better now.

The outside world applauded, resented, annoyed, and dissatisfied with his interview. But he didn't wait for the other party's counterattack. This sent his fist ready to shoot into the air.

It made him very unaccustomed to it, and it also made him feel very abnormal.

However, he soon discovered that the other party may not have no follow-up tactics, but was busy vaguely mixing what he said in the interview.

Although those scientists were really refuting his words, the softness of his words gave him the illusion that the confrontation between himself and the other party suddenly turned into criticism and self-criticism between comrades.
