"Lao Huang, I've been looking for you for a long time. "The person who came spoke Chinese. "This is Mr. Hans. I have admired the name for a long time!"

"Link, this is my friend Jason Lee, president of the Chinese Development Bank of California. Fan Zhongkun smiled and introduced them in English. "This is Link Hans, of course you know. This beautiful lady is the president of Benehans Technologies GmbH and Link's girlfriend. ”

Jason Lee exchanged a few words with Link and Jessica in English,

Fan Zhongkun smiled and said, "Jason, you and Link both run banks and media companies, maybe you will have a common topic, you can talk." I lost my company first. ”

Link knew he wanted to let himself and Jason Lee have a good time.

Jason Lee waited for him to walk a little further before he smiled and said to Link: "If it weren't for Michael's reminder, I would have forgotten that Mr. Hans also runs a media company." In the past six months, the development of West Hollywood Media has been very eye-catching in California's media industry. ”

Link smiled and nodded, "Actually, I didn't interfere with the operation of West Hollywood Media. But it's a good thing for me that the company is doing well. ”

In fact, West Hollywood Media has not expanded this year, Catherine has only reorganized the company, and business expansion is her main achievement.

He added: "Whether it is newspapers or the Internet, the depth of propaganda is still not comparable to that of TV stations. I heard that Mr. Li's TV station is the largest Chinese-language TV station in California!"

"The audience of Chinese-language TV stations is too narrow, and even the largest Chinese-language TV stations in the United States do not have too many audiences. It's just more than that. "Jason Lee is humble, but he is also telling the truth.

"Why don't you set up a program channel that is acceptable to the English-speaking community?" Link said with a smile and a small sip of his wine. "As long as the show is done well, I don't think the audience will care who the owner of the TV station is. ”

"It's a really good way to grow your business. But the risk of investing is too great for us to afford. You know, opening a new channel requires a lot of investment, and whether it will be accepted by the audience or not, no one can say for sure until the ratings come out. ”

Link nodded. At the end of the day, it's about money.

He laughs and says, "Actually, I'm very interested in the operation of the TV station. Can I take a tour of your TV station?"

Jason Lee was a little surprised by his request, but he immediately said, "Of course, it's our honor." ”

After all, the two have just met, so there are not many topics, and after talking for a while, Jason Lee used the excuse of seeing a friend.

Not long after the two separated, the organizers invited some people to give speeches. Some want to go into politics, and there are people in the business world. Fan Zhongkun invited him to come on stage to say a few words, but he refused.

He listened to the crowd in the audience, but it was all the same old tune. What he said was nothing more than the development of the Chinese people and the unity of the Chinese people, as well as all kinds of hopes and expectations. Insights and recommendations are all in one. As for whether it can be implemented, who cares?

Link participated, socialized with many people, and declared his presence in the Chinese circle. Talked to Jason Lee again. His purpose was all accomplished.

After the sorority, Link had a few more conversations with Jason Lee, but he didn't agree on a time to visit the TV station. He just had the idea of buying a TV station, but he also needed to listen to the opinions of professionals.

No matter how rich he is, he can't pat his head and decide on an investment, especially this investment may require a large amount of money in the future.

Now in California, Link and Jessica went on a trip to Sacramento. Jessica first called her mom and learned that her mom was at the winery, so the two went to the company first.

Florin was overjoyed to learn that they were coming. However, Link looked at him and felt that he was not just happy to see his daughter.

As soon as he entered Florin's office, he asked, "Florin, are you so happy because of the significant results of your research?"

"You're right. Florin smiled even more. He laughs. "We have made a major breakthrough in our exclusive virus research on the prevention and control of Amaranth longiflora. The virus only reacts to Amaranth longifolia and does not infect crops and other plants at all. As long as the viral generation restriction is proven to be successful, the viral product can be put on the market. ”

Link is an agriculturalist, so of course he knows about it. In fact, there is also such grass at Hanova Farm. Workers remove the grass by hand, and they remove it as soon as the grass grows, so the amaranth there is not overspread. But it costs a sum of money every year to hire temporary workers to pull weeds. Otherwise, the entire pasture could be overgrown.

It's a good thing that, if it goes into production, Benehans could enter the agricultural market in more than 30 states before high-yielding seeds appeared.

He asked, "How long will it take to get on the market?"

"In about a month, we will be able to grow a product that can be sold. "They have enough experience in the study of the era restrictions of the virus. "But if you want to mass production, it may take another half a month. ”

"Good!" Link said as he sat down in his chair with a smile. "If we can have such a fist product, our company will be able to open up the market in the whole United States. ”

Jessica was also excited about Flolin's news. Previously, her main business had been vineyard only, but with the virus product that Florin said, the company could expand its business to soybeans, wheat, corn and cotton, the main crops in the United States.

She smiled and said, "It seems that the company's sales department is going to expand." Well, maybe we're still working with affiliates?"

Link asked, "Florin, according to your estimates, what about the cost of this product?"

"It's about three to five dollars per acre of product needed. Of course, I didn't take the research into account. ”

Jessica smiled even more: "That's great." Based on the current cost of herbicides in U.S. cotton fields to cope with the cost of herbicides for Amaranth longiflora, we can sell it at $80 per acre. ”

She can't be blamed for being so excited about a virus that can control weeds.

Amaranth is a weed found throughout almost all of North America. But this weed has grown into a superweed in U.S. farmland.

Why is it a super weed? Many scientists believe that genetically modified crops were planted.

The genes of genetically modified crops are drifted from the genetically modified crops to the weeds during the planting process. The evidence is that the genes for which weeds are resistant to glyphosate are basically the same as those of genetically modified crops.

Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Nonda, and the GM has a Roundup resistance gene that makes crops immune to herbicides.

Amaranth is a super weed because of its glyphosate-resistant genes, and it has now spread to more than 30 states in the United States. This grass is very harmful to agriculture. Animals can be poisoned if they eat too much, because of their super vitality, it is easy to form a dominant community in farmland or pasture. It can not only reduce the yield of agricultural products or even eliminate the harvest, but also reduce the yield of pasture pasture.

A farmer once paid $500,000 to hire a weeding expert to help him eradicate Amaranth from his farm. As a result, when the farmer was interviewed, he was asked who had won the war between him and weeds.

The farmer bitterly said one word: grass!

And the weeding expert he invited also said innocently: I have never seen such a powerful grass in 20 years of professional weeding.

Because of the presence of amaranth, cotton farmers do not even dare to use combine harvesters. And in order to deal with this weed, the use of herbicides has to be increased year by year. The cost of herbicide for an acre of cotton fields in some states has allegedly increased to $160.

How large is the area of farmland in the United States. If all Benihans products were used, sales could easily exceed $20 billion. And, that's definitely a huge profit.

She couldn't suppress her excitement when she thought about it.

Link said to Jessica, "Maybe we can advertise now. ”

"I'll get to work. "Jessica is just crazy. "I also want to become super rich as soon as possible!"

Florin, perhaps because she was much older, was much calmer than they were. Of course, it is also possible that he has already been happy, so now he is calmer.

"But the right temperature for this virus to grow is 12 to 35 degrees Celsius," he laughs. Outside of this temperature range, viral cysts form. If the temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius or above 38 degrees Celsius, the cyst becomes inactivated. ”

"That's great, isn't it?" Jessica didn't think that kind of temperature would have any impact on the sales of that viral product. On the contrary, it ensures that the product does not overflow in nature and allows farmers to buy their produce every year.

Link had also gradually calmed down. Florin said that the products would make the company a lot of money, but he was more interested in the fact that Benehans would gain a foothold in the American agricultural market. Before, he thought about relying on high-yield seeds, but now it seems that the company can make a name for itself before the high-yield seeds are sold. That would make it easier to promote high-yielding seeds.

All he thinks about is his agricultural plan, and one of the keys to it is those high-yielding seeds. He said to Flolin, "Flolin, I think I have to congratulate you and your research team. You've done a great job!"

"Thank you! We're all so happy to be there!"

"I don't want to spoil the fun at this time, but I still want to ask, how is the research on super wheat seeds going?"

Before Florin could speak, Jessica preemptively said, "Link, maybe we can ignore the shape separation of wheat seeds for the time being. We can totally bundle the virus of Super Weed. As much of our seeds as they buy, we sell as much of the area as we use the virus. ”

Link thought about it for a moment, and thought it was a little interesting. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong.

Superweeds have a very large impact all over the world, and those superweeds have spread all over the world with the international trade of agriculture. It already threatens the food security of the entire world. It not only reduces the yield of farmland, but also increases the cost of agriculture.

Why do American farmers dare not use combine harvesters because of super weeds? Because agriculture in the United States is very developed, and domestic consumption is simply not enough, so many agricultural products have to be exported. Now countries around the world are quarantining weeds when they have the conditions.

Once it is found that there are seeds of super weeds in the crops for export, the goods are refused import. If all U.S. agricultural products are denied imports, the entire U.S. agriculture will be doomed. So some buyers will also ask farmers to sell produce without those weed seeds.

If weed seeds are found, the farmer's harvest will be difficult to sell, or may even not be sold. Therefore, in order to save costs and trouble, farmers should accept such an agreement.

But he doesn't think that virus will always be a necessity for farmers. Therefore, the idea of bundling, if you think about it deeply, I don't think it's feasible.

Florin didn't seem to finish speaking: "Actually, I have one more news to tell you. ”
