After work, Link takes Hannah's hand down the stairs.

As soon as I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I happened to meet Neil and Claire who came out of the elevator together.

"Link, we're going to Song's for noodles, do you want to come along?" Claire shouted when she saw him. "Oh, and lovely Hannah. Does Hannah like noodles?"

"Yes, but I'm going home. ”

The two of them walked over, and Link smiled and said to Neil, "Hi, Neil. You came back last night?"

"Yes. "Neil used to have a private jet, but it was confiscated by the bank the last time he went bankrupt, and he hasn't bought a new one yet. He came back from New York, of course, only by flight. The flight certainly does not land at Mora Airport. "Came back here at one o'clock in the morning. ”

Link said with an ambiguous smile, "It's a little earlier than I expected." He didn't intend to laugh too much, and bowed his head to Hannah. "Hannah, how are you supposed to say hello?"

Hannah tilted her head and winked at him, then waved at the two of them, "Hello Neil!

"Hello Hannah!" Claire solemnly held out her hand to shake her hand. Hannah giggled.

Neil just smiled and nodded, "You're good, Hannah!" and then he looked up and said to Link again. "I saw yesterday someone criticizing your plan on a TV show. It seems that someone else did that today. ”

Claire stopped teasing Hannah at this time, raised her head and said to Link, "Link, we have to pay attention to this issue. You know, the first step in our bank's plan is to work with pollution-free farms, and the new bank will also have business in this area. If pollution-free standards are not implemented as a result, it will have a big impact on our plans. ”

Link certainly understands this, but he feels like it's time to come out on his own. The pollution-free standard needs to be known to more people, and this debate, regardless of whether it wins or loses, is an opportunity to promote the pollution-free standard. Moreover, he has his own position.

"I'm watching those comments as well, but I think Kempner will have a way to deal with it," he laughed. ”

Neil chuckled and said, "I know I can't hide it from you." It was indeed he who asked me to ask your opinion. It seems that you are on the same page. ”

Link smiled and said, "When the need arises, I will make it clear that I will cut down." But I don't think it's right now. ”

"I will tell him what you said. ”

"Actually, if he has something, you can communicate with him directly. Link concluded.

Neil shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe he's worried that he can't help but make a request of you." ”

Link laughed and said, "That's normal, isn't it? If it's too late, Jessica should be worried again. "After the last car accident, whenever he returned to the castle a little later, Jessica would call to make sure he was safe.

Tiger drove his car to the door of the company, and Link first picked Hannah into the car and put her in a child safety seat. I just turned around and got into the car.

A few more days later, and soon another weekend is coming, but this weekend Link is going to Texas.

The foundation stone for the low-rent apartment in Houston planned by the Hans Foundation is to be laid.

The construction of low-rent apartments has not been so publicized before, and this time Martha and they think there should be a groundbreaking ceremony.

The Houston government is also very supportive, and Mayor Allen of Houston will be present at the ceremony to lay the foundation stone for the project.

Of course, the most indispensable person in the groundbreaking ceremony is the journalist. Without journalists, the ceremony would be a waste of time.

Martha also came, and she was in charge of the entire flow of the ceremony. Who was invited and how the process was arranged, she planned it. Link just nodded or shook his head at her plan.

She took advantage of the time to explain the process of the ceremony to Link one last time: "You're going to be the first to speak for five to ten minutes, and then Mayor Allen is going to give a speech, which is also five to ten minutes, and then we're going to lay the groundwork." Finally, we will be interviewed by the media on site, which will last about half an hour. Do you have any comments on that?"

"So be it. ”

"Good. In addition, I have no problem with the interview I arranged for you. ”

"No, I can do an interview with Catherine later. Martha prepared three media interviews for him.

Those interviews were for the whole low-cost apartment project, before, now, and beyond. So that doesn't need to be done in a day. As for the first interview, the interview certainly belongs to his own media. Catherine will be interviewing him at the hotel today.

As they spoke, Campner walked up to him. Kempner was also invited today, pledging to donate $1 million to the day-to-day operations of the low-cost apartment in Houston.

It can be regarded as a prestige for Lin Ke.

However, he didn't come to Link for this low-rent apartment problem.

Martha saw the opportunity and left.

With a smile on his face, Kempner said, "Link, now GMO tech supporters are constantly attacking our pollution-free food standards. What do you think?"

"What can I think? I think they're feeling threatened. In the face of collaborators, Link did not intend to use diplomatic rhetoric. "The previous green food standard could not have completely threatened their survival, so they never attacked green food. And now our standard is to threaten his existence, and of course attack us. ”

"I think so, too. But we cannot allow them to slander us. We need to fight back. ”

"Aren't you doing that?" he had seen Kempland retort at the Texas TV show at his hotel last night. "I think we're winning now if we don't get knocked down. We need this argument. ”

"But we also have no evidence that our pollution-free standards are better than theirs. Their forces are very strong, and their propaganda capabilities are much stronger than ours. ”

It can be said that after entering the 21st century, almost all biologists have turned their research direction to genetically modified technology, and those who oppose genetically modified technology will definitely be attacked by the group. Opposition to GMOs is, of course, also seen as an act of anti-authority.

In this atmosphere, it's normal for Kempner to feel stressed.

But Link didn't feel any pressure. He believes that as long as the pollution-free standard can be known to some people in a short period of time, it will be a huge victory. Because before that, the vast majority of Americans did not know the word pollution-free.

"The power of academia may be strong, but they can't deny their fatal flaws. We may feel a certain amount of pressure right now, but in fact, they should be more stressed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have attacked us like this. ”

"I think if we can concentrate all our efforts to fight back, maybe we can make it easier for the pollution-free standard to penetrate into people's hearts. ”

Link frowned and said, "You mean, harnessing the power of the public?"

"Yes. There are many people in the United States who oppose genetically modified foods. If they can also stand up, we will be much less stressed, and more people will understand the dangers of GMOs. ”

Link listened to him and found that his attitude towards GMOs was not exactly the same as that of the other party.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Kempner, I have to show you my attitude towards GMOs. ”

"I remember also genetically modified food. ”

"I'm against genetically modified foods that may be a potential threat to humans. ”

"Aren't all genetically modified foods that haven't been proven harmless?"

Link said with a smile: "Kempner, first of all, we have to admit that genetically modified technology, on some levels, has great benefits for human beings. For example, in the treatment of some diseases, do you know insulin and artificial hepatitis B vaccines? Without genetically modified technology, the cost of medical care would be very high. ”

Kempner had to nod his head and say, "I admit it." However, we also have to distinguish that although it is a product that uses genetically modified technology and is used in the human body, it is a specific ingredient that is purified. There is a big difference with genetically modified foods. Genetically modified foods are complete living organisms with a complete set of genes. No one can guarantee that GM will not cause those groups of crops to mutate and produce substances that are harmful to humans. ”

That was also one of the keys to Link's opposition to GMOs.

"I also think that genetically modified foods have that risk. Link whispered. But we also have to admit what those people said. Genetically modified and artificial selection are actually changing the genes of living organisms. Although no matter how much they say, they dare not say the essence of GMO. But I don't think all genetically modified foods are at that risk. ”

"Before, the public didn't understand what GMO was, and now they have to tell the public everything they can say. This will allow the public to have more awareness of GMOs. ”

Kempner frowned and said, "I think that's more beneficial for them!"

"No, it's good for everyone!" Link said, shaking his head slightly. "We have to think about it. The pollution-free standard is certainly a good production standard. But I don't think we should have a monopoly on the entire food supply. You know, there's competition to make progress. ”

Kempner knew that even if he wanted to monopolize the U.S. food supply industry, there was no way to do that. Even if his influence can affect the whole country, it is impossible to control the national pollution-free standards association. The most he can control is Texas.

I also heard Link say: "Now people who oppose GMO have taken anti-GMO as a kind of faith, just like religion." If they are agitated, if we win, we will indiscriminately attack all research on GM technology. That's not right. ”

He nodded and said, "Maybe you have a point." I'll be careful. ”

Link smiled and said, "I can't jump out of this time." You know, Benehans' products are also genetically modified in nature. It's just that we don't use any foreign genes, and the difference with hybridization only strengthens the artificial control in breeding. If I jump out now, it will be a big shock to the company's products. ”

He paused and said, "When the public knows more about GMOs, I will join the debate." Of course, I'm definitely on your side. ”

"Exogenous genes?" Kempner finally understood why Martha's people had to set a "non-exogenous genetically modified" when they agreed with him on pollution-free beef production standards.

It seems that Link's goal is to get those academics to explain the meaning of genetically modified food, and then he can use this key as an entry point to express his attitude towards genetically modified food - selectively opposing the application of genetically modified technology in agriculture.
