Hou Jie said in surprise: "Will it really be like what you said, my country will purchase a large number of foreign soybeans in the future, and cotton and linen raw materials will also rely on imports?" ”

Then he kept shaking his head and said: "The soybean and flax raw materials in our province still have advantages over imported goods, even cotton has the main producing areas of Xinjiang, how can the raw materials of China's agricultural products be more expensive than foreign goods, this is simply impossible!" ”

Hou Jie didn't believe what Lin Qiangsheng said anyway, the price of China's agricultural products has always been very low, and industrial products have not exceeded foreign goods, let alone agricultural products. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he even thinks that Lin Qiangsheng is a bit exaggerated, developed countries have strong industries, and developing countries rely on low-cost agriculture to win, which is right!

Lin Qiangsheng sighed and said: "Governor Hou, let's put it this way, if China's agriculture is 1.0, then American agriculture is 3.0." We have just established a foundation and are working towards mechanization, while the United States has completed the mechanization of agriculture and is developing at a deeper level.

Using advanced science and technology, genetic engineering, biological engineering, and chemical engineering, the Americans have begun to develop and utilize seed genes, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and biological soils at an in-depth level. Coupled with the huge capital advantage of the United States, three of the four major international grain merchants are in the United States, ADM, Bunge, and Cargill.

U.S. agriculture is a combination of capital + technology, the speed of development of U.S. agriculture is unpredictable, the future will be more rapid than the past few decades, and the results achieved are more and more amazing, which is the real advantage of U.S. agriculture compared with our country! ”

He said bitterly to Hou Jie: "If China does not quickly complete the mechanization and modernization of agriculture, and upgrade from agriculture 2.0 to 3.0, then China's agriculture will fall behind in an all-round way sooner or later!" ”

Hou Jie was a little shocked, it was the first time he heard this kind of remarks, and said: "Xiaolin, don't worry about it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said heavily: "The Americans will not give us time to develop, and when that time comes, American capital will enter the country with agricultural high and new technology, and it will fully occupy China's agricultural market, from seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers, to comprehensively affect China's agricultural production." Our seeds are not as high-yield, high-quality, and well-managed as American seeds, and farmers buy foreign seeds directly. At that time, international grain merchants and seed companies will directly control our agricultural raw material market, soybeans, flax, cotton, as long as foreigners raise their prices a little to cause market fluctuations, we will lose the cost advantage of raw materials, and we will have to purchase foreign goods with good quality and stable supply. And entrepreneurs will go directly to the coast to set up factories for production, we lose the cost advantage, and then the advantage of the main soybean flax production area will also be lost! ”

Hou Jie said in surprise: "Will it really develop like this?" Xiaolin, don't talk nonsense! ”

Lin Qiangsheng revealed a piece of news to Hou Jie, saying: "When I went to the United States to purchase soybean crushing equipment this time, the international grain giant ADM made a proposal to us to set up a joint venture factory in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to produce edible oil.

I calculated, if the import of soybeans from the United States to China for processing, than from our province to the cost of soybeans is not much more, but in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can directly supply the edible oil market in the vast areas of the south, this is a very attractive investment, I think ADM has made up its mind to direct investment in China, and then the United States soybeans will also enter China! ”

Hou Jie asked strangely: "The Americans actually asked you for a joint venture, so do you plan to participate in this project?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "ADM has taken a fancy to the foundation of Dongxing Group in China, and there must be some uncertain policies for American grain merchants to set up factories in China directly, so find a collaborator to share the risk." ”

He hesitated for a moment and said to Hou Jie: "The southern market is vast, and this is a good speculative plan. In addition, if I don't do it, someone else will do it, not to mention that ADM has experience in business management and agricultural processing, so it is also a learning opportunity for us. ”

Hou Jie sighed when he heard the news, but he also said with relief: "Since it is a profitable business, there is no reason to give it to others, and the development of Dongxing Group is also the pride of the province!" He patted Lin Qiangsheng on the shoulder and said, "I support your decision and strive to learn the advanced experience and management technology of others in the cooperation with the Americans!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, thank you Hou Province!" ”

Hou Jie laughed and said: "You little ghost, tell me this, is it the next step for your Dongxing Group to invest in agriculture?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and smiled: "Yes, Hou Province, this matter can't be hidden from you, in addition to I want the province to pay attention to agricultural science and technology, that is, I want to set up a seed company and establish a national germplasm bank in our province, also called an animal and plant gene bank." I would like to cooperate with the agricultural units in the province to collect the animals and plants in the province, especially the seeds of crops, and make some efforts for the preservation and cultivation of varieties! ”

Hou Jie nodded and said: "This idea is very good, the American agriculture you said is a combination of capital and technology, and I think your Dongxing Group also has hope to take this road." ”

He said to Lin Qiangsheng: "I will talk to the comrades on the agricultural front in the province about this, and send a document when necessary, so that they can cooperate with your work, this matter is very meaningful!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and smiled: "Then thank you so much to Hou Province, I won't tell you that in the future, I want to run this germplasm bank to the whole country, and each province must build one, and also carry forward my country's excellent crop varieties!" ”

Hou Jie nodded and smiled: "This is a great thing, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future!"

Today, the Dongxing College in Jiangbei ushered in Academician Dong Yuchen, in 1959 she put forward the term "variety resources", in the winter of the same year, at the National Crop Breeding Science Conference, she first put forward the task of China's crop variety resources, organized the construction of the national crop germplasm bank, and promoted the collection of about 200,000 crop germplasm resources in the country to be basically preserved.

Academician Dong Yuchen collected more than 600 wild wheat relatives throughout the country, and almost traveled all over the north and south of Xinjiang in 82~83 years, and she began to investigate the northern region in 86 years.

This time I was invited by Lin Xiang to inspect the seed cultivation center and germplasm bank of Dongxing College, the academician in his 60s is kind and kind, very simple, just like an old lady next door, if it weren't for the identity of an academician, others would really think she was an ordinary person.

The seed center of Dongxing College is an 8-storey building, the first floor is the office space and seed bank, the second ~ seventh floor are laboratories, and the eighth floor is the power distribution room and computer room.

Dong Yuchen looked at the seed bank and experimental equipment here, and said to Lin Xiang: "Your seed bank is the most advanced in the country, and if it is put into use, it will really help the local agricultural development." She instructed Lin Xiang to say: "You have to cooperate well with the Agricultural University and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, you can't do the seed project alone, that is not enough, the Agricultural University and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are very experienced in this area, you have to cooperate with them, and if necessary, find the national germplasm bank to cooperate, we will also help." ”

Lin Xiang looked at the smiling old lady and said happily: "Academician Dong, we have introduced excellent soybean seeds and flax seeds from the United States this year, and we are cooperating with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for local domestication. ”

Dong Yuchen nodded and said: "It is necessary to introduce foreign varieties, China's seed cultivation work is later than that of developed countries, and the development is slow, so the introduction is a good way." But there is also a problem, that is, how to develop China's local variety resources, insist on cultivating China's local crop varieties, and don't give up! ”

Lin Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "What you said is the same as what my brother said, Johnson & Johnson also attaches great importance to domestic species resources, and also said that domestic crop seeds, soybean seeds, flax seeds, and cotton seeds should be taken abroad to register patents. ”

Dong Yuchen was quite surprised: "Oh? Your brother really said that, you should support this matter! ”

Looking at Lin Xiang's puzzled gaze, Dong Yuchen said: "Our country goes abroad to buy excellent seeds, foreigners are required for patent fees, and my country is developing slowly in crop patents, but I support you to do this thing first, and the national germplasm bank can also help!" ”

This was very unexpected, Lin Xiang said inexplicably: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Johnson & Johnson when I go back." ”

Dong Yuchen said with a smile: "You kid may not understand why crops should be patented, let me tell you, if my country has the advantage of a certain crop, and this crop is precisely a foreign registered patent, then my country can not export, which will cause losses to my country's agricultural trade!" ”

Lin Xiang suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "It turns out that it is really useful to register a patent for crops!" ”

Dong Yuchen nodded again and again, and said with a sigh: "This thing should have been done by the state, but now the funds are limited, and a large number of crops in my country have been improved from abroad, and my country is not very serious about crop patents, which is very helpless." On the one hand, our country's crops continue to lose, and on the other hand, because we do not pay enough attention to foreign countries, we are also powerless. ”

Lin Xiang nodded and said: "I have written down this matter, I used to think that the matter of crop registration patent can be slowed down, I don't know that it is so serious, then we will put this matter in the first place, so that the country will not lose foreign exchange in vain." ”

Dong Yuchen was very pleased, she didn't expect that there was a company in Bincheng that was willing to work hard for China's agricultural development, she thought about it and proposed to Lin Xiang: "The national germplasm bank can help you in this matter, I advocate encouraging the sharing of germplasm resources, you have developed information technology here, there are so many so advanced computers, you can establish a sharing platform, establish H province and the national crop resources information database, so that your provincial and national agricultural resource workers can come to you to inquire about information, I think the significance of this is very significant. ”

She said to Lin Xiang: "First you have an experiment here, and when the comrades in other provinces realize this significance, they can promote it again, which is very convenient!" ”

Lin Xiang felt that this was also something that could be done by the way, so she happily agreed, she said: "Academician Dong, we didn't expect this matter, if the national germplasm bank can help us establish this platform, of course, it is good, and it also provides convenience for us to inquire about information, of course we welcome it!"
