The new bank opened, and Link spent two days socializing in Texas.

For the past two days, he has been keeping an eye on the news about Hannah on the Internet.

There are also a lot of celebrity news on the Internet. However, he found that as Jessica feared, the news of the star came out, but the public's attention to Hannah remained undiminished. I don't know if it's because those celebrities don't have enough places or because Hannah is not a star, so stars have no effect on her.

Things didn't change as Link wanted anyway.

He came back from Texas, and Martin and Jonathan came with him.

Jonathan was here for the theme park, and Martin was for Link.

I don't know if Martin also saw Hannah's news and proposed that this ad should be starring him and Hannah.

"You want the news of celebrities to take down the public's attention to Hannah, and that's a good idea. But something is unrealistic. Martin said with a smile. "In the eyes of the public, Hannah is a beautiful and cute little girl, and the star is the star. There is no conflict between the two, and everyone is likely to pay attention at the same time. Of course, maybe that would make the reporter pay less attention to Hannah. ”

If you can get reporters to pay less attention to Hannah, as long as there is no reporter to lead the rhythm, Hannah is concerned, Link also thinks there is something. But it was clear that there were still quite a few reporters standing guard outside the kindergarten gate.

It's just that the reporter account has changed. Before, it may have been some people who have been in the industry for a long time, but now they are some rookies.

Link feels that since the attention to Hannah on the Internet has not decreased, he simply does a reverse operation, and maybe he can also do what Jessica said, so that people can no longer just focus on Hannah's finding the treasure.

He agreed to let Hannah shoot a commercial with him.

Martin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then we can get started." ”

"What's creativity?"

Hannah endorses the competition that bears her name. What could be a better idea than this?"

The corners of Link's mouth twitched, and he said, "Do you think Hannah can say anything beautiful about advertising?"

"Come!" Martin said with a smile. "I'm going to go to Jonathan, and I think he's going to come up with a good advertising message for us. If it's fast, maybe I'll be able to go back tomorrow to do the post-production. ”

Martin said he would do it, and he hurried to Fox to find Jonathan.

When he was gone, Jessica came over and said, "I have good news for you!"

Link hurriedly stood up and helped her sit down, looking at her uncontrollable smile, and couldn't help but joke, "What good news." Do you have not just two children in your belly, but four?"

"Oh my God. Four. If it's four, they'll come out next month. ”

"Really, I regret not working harder, if it was four, I would have seen my babies two months earlier. ”

Jessica laughed and slapped him on the arm. She put away her smile and said, "The good news I said was about high-yielding wheat. My dad just called me and said that one of the experiments they were doing had significant shape separation in one of the experimental groups. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?"

No wonder he was so surprised. Now they found out, it should have been at the beginning of the year, the seeds they wanted had appeared in the lab, but those seeds had to be planted twice before the results were known.

In the first generation of treated seeds, of course, there must be no shape separation, otherwise the yield will not meet the standard. And a second generation has to emerge to stop farmers from keeping their seeds.

"It's not yet confirmed, and the laboratory has to do a verification experiment. That's about half a year. ”

"The timing was perfect. "Link can afford to wait for half a year. "Half a year later, the winter wheat we planted was ready to be harvested. ”

If the shape separates after two generations, then they have to plant a lot of seeds. He plans to grow wheat on all three farms to be used as seeds, which will then be treated before it can be sold.

Jessica might have been on the phone for a while, and she thought about another question.

"Now we have a breakthrough in our project, but it is also easy to sell the seeds to foreign countries. ”

Link has always feared that his products would be used as political bargaining chips, which could affect the company's operations. Actually, Jessica didn't think it was a big deal. In any country, any product that can be used as a political bargaining chip is a strategic product. If the seeds produced by Benehans can become a strategic product, the U.S. government will also provide some protection for the company.

However, Link was worried that the company would gradually become controlled by others, so he didn't want that to happen.

Jessica knew his worries weren't unnecessary.

If their high-yielding seeds are considered a strategic resource, the U.S. government will not allow them to remain under the control of Link, a yellow man. They will certainly be plotting to seize control of Benehans.

Link didn't want that to happen, so he wanted to produce the same seeds in other countries, hoping to get out of the hands of the U.S. government.

Jessica also knew that being considered uncooperative by the government would also have a big impact on Benehans.

But if she had to choose, she would only support Link.

The fact that Link is yellow cannot be changed. No matter what he does, the U.S. government will not really support him. On the contrary, if he manages the internationalization of the seeds well. Even if the U.S. government doesn't like him, it needs to think about more things. And after dealing with him, the United States can't get what they want, which makes it easier for them to give up dealing with Link.

After Link was reminded by her, he was also a little worried.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Florin first." ”

He dialed his future father-in-law: "Florin, it's me. I heard Jessica say, you might have found a solution to the problem of high-yielding wheat seeds?"

"Yes, we are preparing to do a validation experiment. ”

"Do many people know about this?"

"For the time being, only members of Shi Yanzu know. You know, now we're not sure. Florin added. "And, for the sake of secrecy, I ask that the members of the test team not disclose information to anyone else for the time being. ”

Link was still not reassured, saying, "Florin, you know that high-yielding wheat seeds are very important to us and we have to keep them a secret. ”

"I'll keep it confidential. I think my group will understand that too. ”

Understanding is one problem, but whether or not you can do it is another. Link thought for a moment and said, "You and your group members said that after the experiment is completed, I will reward each team member with more than 100,000 US dollars." And they can all start a project of their own, with a million dollars in research funding. These projects can be exempt from the number of projects in the lab. ”

Florin is not a fool. Link offered such a big reward, he knew that it must be very concerned about the secrecy of this experiment. "I'll keep them shut," he assured. "It's almost $100,000 and you can get an investment in a research project, which is good enough to make the young team members understand what to say and what not to say. And it allows them to resist the temptation from the outside.

Link smiled and said, "I'll go to the lab in two days." By the way, is there any progress on the other seeds?"

"Research on high-yielding seeds for corn and soybeans has reached the validation stage. Alfalfa seeds are still being studied for sterilization. However, if the generational limitation of high-yielding wheat seeds is successful, they can also gain some experience. ”

When Link heard this, he smiled and said, "Very good!"

Just a wheat high-yielding seed is not enough for him.

In fact, corn and soybeans are now the world's most important foods.

Some large countries have entered an era dominated by meat rations. Both corn and soybeans are the main ingredients used to make animal feed. Corn can be grown in many countries. But the main exporters of soybeans are the United States and South America.

So corn and soybean seeds may actually be more important than wheat seeds.

But he hopes that the world's major cereal seeds can occupy a certain position: "What about rice seed research?"

"For the time being, progress is still relatively lagging behind. Experiments in the genetic screening and laboratory planting phases are still being carried out at the same time. However, it is said that 60% of the gene segments have been combined experimentally. Maybe the seeds needed are being grown in the lab. ”

Those experiments need to be planted to know if they have been successful. And it takes many generations of cultivation to determine that the experiment results in a product with stable traits. So any high-yielding seed needs to be experimented with over a long period of time.

Link hung up the phone, hugged Jessica and kissed him twice, and said, "Maybe in half a year, we can make world agriculture branded with Benehans." ”

Whether it is genetically modified or hybridized, it is all about increasing yields. It's just that some people think very highly of themselves when it comes to GMOs. Whether they're right or not, Link can't agree with it.

Of course, maybe those scientists don't need his approval either.

But he can use practical actions to let them know that his disapproval can have serious consequences.

He has to admit that the emergence of high-yield grain seeds is essentially due to genetically modified technology. However, it is very different from the genetically modified technology applied in agriculture.

To give an example, the experiment done by Benihans is equivalent to the completion of normal IVF in human beings. The vast majority of genetically modified technologies are also in vitro fertilization, but they are using the sperm eggs of other animals and human sperm eggs for fertility.

Jessica is not as optimistic as he is: "But we still need at least half a year, and now the attack on pollution-free standards by genetically modified technology is getting more and more severe." ”

The smile on Link's face flickered, but he immediately smiled again and said, "Just let them run rampant for another half a year." Kempner is now resisting, but the argument between the two sides is not fair. The propaganda platform of GMO proponents is far larger than Kempner's, and the academic community's tolerance of GMO opponents seems to have reached its limit. Scholars from all over the world have come forward to participate in this great debate in society.

Kempner isn't exactly at the bottom of the pack, though.

No matter how much scholars say, their previous high coldness makes consumers reluctant to trust them easily. Especially the Americans.

Americans take the right to know and the right to choose very seriously. The previous images of genetically modified food producers facing Senate questions have been leaked in many documentaries.

Their actions to block GM labeling are disgusting to Americans, knowing that most of the countries in the world that accept genetically modified foods will legislate to require genetically modified foods to have clear labels. And the United States does not, which makes the Americans feel that it is a conspiracy.

This sentiment of consumers is a good thing for both Link and Kempner.
