Chapter 797: Chance Encounter, Major Discovery
"But if the staple food of the Chinese people is genetically modified, it will be a disaster.
The staple food of the Chinese is wheat, rice and corn, and now rice and corn have been genetically modified on a large scale, I have to say that it is all the credit of agricultural experts and the Americans behind it, but why is there no GMO in domestic wheat? Ever wondered why? Zhang Yingji was completely attracted by Xia Xiang's speech, and asked urgently: "Why?" "The promotion of genetically modified staple foods in China is a series of operations by the Locke Foundation of the United States, combined with the second generation of Chinese officials, with the dual support of American biological capital and China's universal values.
Not to mention Xia Xiang's own strength, many high-level officials in China are helpless.
In fact, as early as the 80s, the Locke Foundation of the United States began to lay out in China.
Chinese like layout the most, and are the best at layout, but they often underestimate Americans who have little history.
But I don't know that the Americans are also the best nation in the world, and now they are better than the Chinese.
The Locke Foundation does not invest in projects in China, but in talents, and they know that the key point of personnel lies in people.
After 20 years of nurturing talent, the Locke Foundation stopped investing in China, and all research and development funding was able to come from state subsidies.
The Foundation's remaining main task is to manipulate the genetic talents it has cultivated over the past 20 years, and everything else, such as project funding policies, is to be completed by the trained talents.
This clearly shows that the so-called investment attraction is not that we are using foreign capital, but that the Locke Foundation is using Chinese funds and Chinese talents to use their money to complete their great and long-term cause on Chinese soil.
Americans are not living Lei Feng, and their cause is not to help other people's countries become strong and then pose a threat to their own country.
The only purpose of the Americans' foreign expansion is to ensure that the affluent life of all Americans in the United States is not affected by the world economic crisis, just as they attacked Iraq to control oil resources, and genetically modified technology is also a biological war of their foreign expansion.
Naturally, as a product of scientific development, genetically modified technology is not completely useless, genetically modified cotton is indeed a manifestation of scientific progress, but the promotion of genetically modified staple food has to make people doubt the wolf ambitions of foreign forces.
In particular, spare no effort to promote the transgenic technology of staple foods such as rice and corn, but do not promote wheat, the reason is very simple, because rice is the staple food of the Chinese, from the south to the north eat rice every day, and although wheat is also a staple food, but can only be one of the staple foods of the country, far less than the large population of rice, this is not the key to the problem, the key to the problem is that Europe and the United States almost do not eat rice, all eat wheat.
It is precisely in order to prevent the large-scale promotion of genetically modified wheat in China from causing genetic mutations, which will affect the staple foods of Europe and the United States, so the United States, which already has genetically modified wheat technology, has been controlling the promotion of genetically modified wheat technology.
The merits of the rights and wrongs, or the intentions of foreign forces, Chinese people are not stupid, especially those in high positions, which is not as clear as a mirror? It's one thing to know, it's another thing to stop it.
Xia Xiang also knew that he might not be able to convince Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, but he had to tell the truth and show his resolute opposition, so he made his position very firmly stated the issue of genetically modified staple food: "If the pilot promotion of genetically modified cotton, I support it."
If it's wheat and corn, I'm categorically against it! "I am fully opposed to the pilot promotion of genetically modified technology in Lang City!" Zhang Yingzhi's position is more conservative.
"There is always a process of acceptance of emerging events, and in order to make people accept the fact that the earth is not the center of the universe, the ultra-religious people also burned scientists to death!" Tu Yun seized a little attack on Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingji, "For some people who are outdated and backward in their thinking, what they need is not only to improve their political consciousness, but also to learn more about the dialectical theory of Marxism."
I fully support the Ministry of Agriculture in Lang City! Tu Yun sneered a few words with a smug expression.
Xia Xiang turned a deaf ear and ignored it, Zhang Yingji sneered: "Talking about the scientific concept of development? Mankind invented nuclear energy in the first place to find a new source of energy, and the result? As a result, tens of thousands of atomic bombs have been built around the world, which could blow the earth flat at any time! In the process of human progress, science has always used new mistakes to make up for old mistakes! If you have to argue about the development of science, there will be no conclusion after arguing for a day and a night, Xia Xiang wanted to interject to persuade him, but Gu Xiangguo couldn't help but patted the table lightly: "Okay, okay, don't argue."
The secretary's office meeting is a place to discuss issues, not a place to quarrel.
The pilot promotion of the Ministry of Agriculture, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is worth trying. ”
The two were against it, the two were in favor, and the eyes of several people fell on Ai Chengwen.
Ai Chengwen hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't dare to make a decision: "This matter needs to be studied in depth, it is related to the food plans of millions of people, and it cannot be sloppy."
Personally, I am more inclined to Mayor Xia's suggestion, and then I will find relevant experts and scholars to understand the application and promotion of technology in the country of transfer around the world, neither hasty refusal, nor easy decision, but in line with the attitude of being responsible for all the people of Lang City, cautious and cautious. ”
Although Ai Chengwen's speech was not resolutely opposed, he finally had no personal feelings and made a reasonable decision.
However, Xia Xiang also knows that before external pressure intervenes, it is easy to make a decision that is in line with the interests of Lang City, and once there are other factors interfering, it is difficult to say.
In short, the prospects for this matter are not encouraging.
Gu Xiangguo said with dissatisfaction: "Director Bai of the Ministry of Agriculture said that the Ministry of Agriculture was originally preparing to choose a city between Lang City and Qintang City to promote the pilot.
But if it drags on for too long, it is not ruled out that the Ministry of Agriculture will eventually choose Qintang City. ”
After speaking, Gu Xiangguo turned around and left.
As soon as Gu Xiangguo left, Tu Yun also stood up, nodded slightly at Ai Chengwen, and ignored Xia Xiang and Zhang Ying, and left after him.
"I also ask Secretary Ai to consider carefully and not to make a decision that will harm future generations."
Xia Xiang said lightly, because he saw that Ai Chengwen was actually willing to accept the pilot promotion.
And Gu Xiangguo's words just now obviously made him waver.
Qintang City is much farther away from the capital, more than twice as far away from Lang City, and if the Ministry of Agriculture intends to spend money in Qintang City, it will not secretly inspect Lang City.
Very rudimentary strategy of the ancient to Congress is not clear? Of course he knows, but in the face of interests, it is not that he has lost his judgment, but that he has lost his justice.
Ai Chengwen didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingji walked out of the secretary's office side by side, Xia Xiang was about to go back to the office, Zhang Yingxiang said with interest: "Mayor Xia, listening to your theory today is quite novel, are you interested in discussing it with me?" I want to delve deeper into the relationship between genetically modified technology and genetically modified staple foods......" Xia thought about it, remembered what Zhao Xiaofeng said about Zhang Ying's position, and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, I also want to communicate with Secretary Zhang." ”
Then when I saw that it was already past 11 o'clock, I said, "Why don't we eat together at noon and talk while eating?" Zhang Yingji felt Xia Xiang's enthusiasm, and there was really nothing wrong with it, and at the secretary's office meeting just now, he and Xia Xiang agreed and had a common language, so he nodded: "Okay, but I can explain in advance, I will be the east, or I won't agree." ”
Zhang Yingji had a fairly positive response, and Xia Xiang was also quite happy: "Okay, then I'm not welcome, I'm ready to eat." ”
"Haha."
Zhang Yingji was very useful to Xia Xiang's joke, "I don't have much money, but it's not enough to make you poor." ”
Xia Xiang followed Zhang Yingji to a medium-sized hotel, and the name was very interesting: the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there were many people, and it was already full when he arrived.
However, Zhang Yingji is obviously a frequent visitor, and as soon as she enters the door, she is welcomed into the private room.
The private room of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is also very interesting, similar to the ancient barracks.
Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingji asked for a few dishes, such as the more famous dishes in Lang City, Guwa Yiguo Xian and Taiping Yan, which made Xia Xiang have a great appetite.
The two talked while eating, and they ate for more than an hour, and Xia Xiang's profound knowledge and unique insights made Zhang Yingji greatly impressed.
In fact, in all fairness, Xia Xiang is fully opposed to genetically modified technology, not only against genetically modified staple foods.
But he also knows that if he denies it all at the beginning, it will be easy to provoke all-round pressure from the other party, so it is better to retreat to the next best thing in order to have a buffer.
Zhang Yingji completely denied the genetically modified technology, but after listening to Xia Xiang's analysis in simple terms, genetically modified cotton is also a small progress, although it may not have any serious consequences in the future, but after all, it is not food, and if it is not eaten, the impact will be much smaller, so I can't help but nod in agreement.
I also heard Xia want to talk about the harm of genetically modified staple food, saying that genetically modified staple food may be aimed at the genetic defects of colored people, especially yellow people, and special improvement, and even scientists have researched, after some genetically modified potatoes are eaten by Chinese, they will be considered junk food by the stomach and intestines in the body and not added to the absorption, directly excreted from the body, which is equivalent to eating for nothing, without any nutrition, Zhang Yingyuan clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger.
After eating a meal, Zhang Yingji's impression of Xia Xiang deepened a little.
Originally, he thought that Xia Xiang was a flower who had never been out of the greenhouse of Yan City, could not withstand the wind and rain, and did not have any political level, after in-depth contact, he knew that prejudice kills people, Xia Xiang is not only rich in knowledge, profound political insights, but also has a roundabout wrist and long-term vision, in terms of his age, it is indeed very rare.
Moreover, he is not worried about the country and the people, but also has the calmness and strategy to deal with the complex situation.
Zhang Yingji's impression of Xia Xiang changed from estrangement to cordiality, and they narrowed the distance between each other a lot.
When they were about to return to the municipal party committee, Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingji had just walked out of the door, and the two of them came up to them, which made Xia Xiang startled and stunned.
There was a man and a woman, the woman was dressed in silver, her body was colorful, and her beautiful face was unremarkable, it was Silver Jasmine.
Of course, Silver Jasmine's appearance here was not the reason why Xia Xiang was stunned, but the man with a sneering face and fiery eyes beside her made him sigh after being stunned, it was really a meeting everywhere in life, but I didn't expect to see an old friend here again after a year.
The old friend is none other than Director Bai Zhan Mobai, who is now serving in the Ministry of Agriculture.
Bai Zhanmo's eyes were glued to Yin Jasmine, he couldn't move half a minute like roots, and the smile on his face was also warm and flattering, it was indeed Silver Jasmine who was too beautiful and attractive, better than Cong Feng'er, and Cong Feng'er was a little older, compared with Yin Jasmine's * brilliance, only to know that women are better than women, and they are really angry with men.
Today, Yin Jasmine personally accompanied him to eat, Bai Zhanmo was ecstatic, he was already full before he ate, the ancients said that the beauty is delicious, and I am not deceived.
As soon as he walked to the door, Bai Zhanmo suddenly felt that something was wrong, it seemed that there was a familiar figure in the corner of his eye, and he was shocked, don't be Xia Xiang.
Together with several experts, he came to Lang City to secretly investigate, visited some peasant households, met with Oh Ni Chen in private, and also exchanged views with several major party and government leaders in Lang City.
As for the destructive role that Xia Xiang may play, Bai Zhanmo had already planned it, and he also discussed it with Oh Chen, and the confrontation on the surface could be suppressed by Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo.
Secretly, you can also use some means to properly sound the alarm bell for Xia Xiang.
Bai Zhanmo was still a little afraid of Xia Xiang in his heart, and he didn't want to face Xia Xiang face to face, but he didn't expect that the road was really narrow, and he could meet after a meal, which was really evil.
If he didn't say hello when he met, he seemed too timid, Bai Zhanmo pretended to be surprised: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Mayor Xia, fortunately, fortunately."
I haven't seen you for a long time, Mayor Xia has been promoted again? Xia wanted to understand the reason behind Bai Zhanmo's active and enthusiastic greeting, and took the initiative to reach out: "It turned out to be Director Bai, I have heard that you came to Lang City a long time ago, and I know that I will not come to me in Lang City, I am afraid that I will not invite you to dinner?" Hehe. ”
Bai Zhanmo thought that he had managed to keep his face from changing, but when he heard Xia Xiang's title of "Director Bai", he thought that he was demoted from the deputy hall to the main department, in the final analysis, it was all due to Xia Xiang, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and his face changed slightly: "I have fallen from the secretary of the district party committee to the point where I am now, it is all the handiwork of Mayor Xia, and I have not dared to forget your affection for more than a year." ”
Silver Jasmine blinked a pair of beautiful eyes on the side, secretly looking at Xia Xiang.
She always thought that Xia Xiang was pretending to be serious in front of her and her sister, but when she saw it today, she had a little doubt, because Xia Xiang's eyes never looked randomly, not like Bai Zhanmo, sweeping around, and at first glance, he looked greedy and hateful.
After Xia Xiang just nodded to her, his gaze never fell on her again, as if she didn't exist.
Isn't he pretending, but really a decent man? Silver Jasmine's little mind turned around, puzzled.
Xia Xiang didn't care about Bai Zhanmo's angry words, and waved his hand: "Director Bai is polite, at that time, everyone was just doing their own thing, and if one person is right and standing firm, others can't push it down."
But if you keep walking on the edge of the cliff, sometimes you will fall down by yourself if you get a little windy. ”
Bai Zhanmo finally couldn't help but change his face: "There are still accounts to be settled between us, don't be too complacent too early." ”
After speaking, he glanced back at Silver Jasmine, "Let's go eat and ignore some boring people." ”
Bai Zhanmo and Yin Jasmine were accompanied by several people, and at first glance, they were Oh Chen's people, and when they saw Bai Zhanmo getting angry, they were all eager to try to disadvantage Xia Xiang.
However, Silver Jasmine did not speak, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Zhang Yingji also knew who Bai Zhanmo was, and quipped: "It seems that Director Bai took the initiative to say to Mayor Xia just now, is it considered self-deprecating?" Bai Zhanmo was furious: "Who are you?" Where is your turn to speak? Zhang Yingji put her hands behind her back: "It doesn't matter who I am, anyway, if the pilot promotion is discussed by the Standing Committee, my vote will definitely be against!" When Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingzhi went far, Bai Zhanmo came to his senses and asked, "Is he Zhang Ying, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?" Silver Jasmine "um", she didn't say much, she was disappointed with Bai Zhanmo's performance just now, although she was not a person with complex thoughts, but it was obvious that in the confrontation just now, Bai Zhanmo had fallen behind.
Bai Zhanmo was annoyed for a while, how could he inadvertently offend Zhang Yingzhi again, it was really a mistake.
I didn't hear that Xia Xiang had allies in the municipal party committee, why did he and Zhang Yingzhi get closer in a blink of an eye? However, thinking of Xia Xiang's methods when he was in the dismount area, Bai Zhanmo couldn't help but fight a cold war, and suddenly realized that the promotion of genetically modified pilot projects in Lailang City was estimated to face greater resistance than imagined.
Go back and talk to Oh Chen to discuss, and if necessary, he will also use some dark means to knock Xia Xiang, anyway, he has no roots in Lang City, and no one protects him.
Xia Xiang and Zhang Yingzhi returned to the municipal party committee and went back to the office.
However, the scene when he and Zhang Yingji entered the building at the same time was fully seen by Gu Xiangguo upstairs, and a trace of vigilance flashed in Gu Xiangguo's eyes.
As soon as Xia Xiang entered the office, Li Caiyuan came forward with a mysterious face: "Leader, as soon as you and Secretary Zhang went out today, I noticed that Yang Bin made a phone call, and after a while, Mayor Tu went downstairs, and he hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where he went, but Secretary General Tang secretly followed." ”
Since Tu Yun is arrogant enough, Xia Xiang decided to cut her first, who made her have the most loopholes? Moreover, it is not safe for Yang Bin to have such a time bomb by his side, and it is also a very critical first step to be able to take out two people with one stone.
Yang Bin may have some secrets that no one knows.
As soon as Xia Xiang thought of this, Li Caiyuan said: "I carefully thought about the car accident a year ago, and I suspect that the driver who hit the person may be Yang Bin!" "Where did you find the clue?" Xia Xiang was pleasantly surprised, if Yang Bin was really the driver who hit people, there would be a clue to connect the whole incident.
Li Caiyuan hadn't answered Xia Xiang's question yet, and Tang Hualai hurriedly knocked on the door and came in: "Mayor Xia, a major situation has been discovered!" ”
