Since that night in early 1985, when he was in a car accident on his way home and met a blind Chris, Gan Guoyang has always avoided two types of things, one is politics, and the other is science and technology.

Although Gan Guoyang was neither a member of the Politburo nor a participant in the online military enlargement conference in later generations, he also knew that in this era, politics and technology are the two types of factors that have the greatest impact on mankind.

But many times, the world does not move according to the will of the individual, if Gan Guoyang knew what the future situation of the county party secretary who shook hands with him would be like, he would probably leave Monsanto's factory quickly and go to Houston to practice.

Gan Guoyang traveled back in 2o11, at that time, except for the country's top leader and the second-in-command, other high-level Gan Guoyang did not know anyone, so after shaking hands with the secretary of the county party committee of Zhengding County and greeting other members of the delegation from China, he began to visit the production base of Monsanto with the delegation.

It stands to reason that a "bad guest" like Gan Guoyang should not be inserted casually, but Gan Guoyang is really famous in the United States, and the delegation from China did not expect that there would be a Chinese player in the basketball world in the United States, which made them both surprised and admired.

Gan Guoyang and this group of predecessors in their hometown, but they also broke the barrier of time and space, and began to talk about various changes in China.

Gan Guoyang left China in 1981, but he still retains all kinds of memories of China from his birth to 81 years, so there is no problem in communicating with the people in the delegation.

Before Gan Guoyang appeared, the delegation mainly talked about the feelings of the United States, and as soon as Gan Guoyang appeared, they focused their attention on the country, and they didn't understand Monsanto's high-tech agricultural technology for a while.

At that time, China's reform and opening up was still in its infancy, and in 1985, the country's work focused on rural work and enterprise reform, so there was this visit to the United States in Zhengding County.

However, on many detailed issues of reform, many different voices have emerged within the party and throughout the country, and naturally there will be different opinions and views in the inspection delegation.

Gan Guoyang, as a time-traveler with knowledge of future history, is watching his nose and nose at this time, and does not participate in their discussions, and Gan Guoyang only knows a little about this history, and he is not ready to cross, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that he will leak his mouth, especially if he mixes up time, maybe something will happen.

Unconsciously, the group has walked to Monsanto's genetically modified breeding farm, where many genetically modified watermelons are planted, and the big watermelon that Gan Guoyang ate last night is a genetically modified product.

"Comrade Gan Guoyang, what do you think of Monsanto's genetically modified technology?" The secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee, who had not participated in the discussion of the delegation, suddenly asked Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang has never been called a comrade in the United States, and he feels quite kind when he is called like this, but he feels a little headache about this problem.

In terms of genetically modified technology, Gan Guoyang naturally doesn't understand, although he also ate a genetically modified big watermelon yesterday, and he is still alive and kicking, but if he wants to give advice on genetically modified organisms, he really doesn't know what to say.

Gan Guoyang also knows that with the exhibition of science and technology, the two-sided nature of science and technology is becoming more and more intense, which not only brings a new life that I dare not think of, but also brings various problems that make people troublesome.

Therefore, in later generations, compared with the 80s, people's attitudes towards technology have also undergone a huge change.

In the seventies and eighties, it was a time when people were striving for all kinds of high-tech, as can be seen from the film and television works of the time, such as the Star Wars series, e-T, and science fiction works such as Back to the Future, which will be released in 1985, can be seen that people have no good vision for high-tech.

However, in the 21st century, people are becoming more and more cautious about science, thinking more and more about human nature and future destiny in science fiction works, and more and more people are pursuing "back to basics" in life, and society has also seen a phenomenon of deceleration of science and technology.

Gan Guoyang studied sociology in his later life, and he understood that people have a sense of fear in the face of increasingly powerful science and technology, and genetically modified technology is one of the key points of controversy.

"Secretary Xi, I think that whether a science and technology can ultimately benefit mankind and what kind of impact it will have on mankind in the future needs to be studied and observed for a long time. Gan Guoyang said.

"However, we should not give up on the exhibition of science and technology because of this, and the disaster brought about by the stagnation of all aspects in modern China is a bloody lesson. Whether GMO is good or not, I am a basketball player, and I am not qualified to evaluate, but no matter what kind of high and new technology, the country should exhibit and research, and the quality should be evaluated by those competent scientists. Gan Guoyang continued.

Gan Guoyang's words are actually not much different from not saying them, but as an athlete, he can stand at such a height and answer this question with such a line of thought, but the people in the delegation did not expect it.

The secretary of the county party committee of Zhengding also nodded when he heard this, and did not say anything more, so he continued to visit with the guide of Monsanto.

Gan Guoyang also breathed a sigh of relief, Gan Guoyang has seen a lot of celebrities in the United States, like Michael Jackson is now a superstar in the American music scene, no one in the NBA can compare with him, Gan Guoyang has never been nervous in front of Jackson.

However, in front of the secretary of the Zhengding county party committee, Gan Guoyang is a little bit of a follow-up, and he always feels like a subordinate who reports to the leader.

Gan Guoyang has seen a lot of arguments on the Internet about the issue of genetically modified organisms, and he has long known that this is a dead end, and those who support it feel that those who oppose it have no scientific quality, and those who oppose it feel that those who support it are scientific religionists or simply thugs of agricultural companies.

Gan Guoyang didn't want to bring this kind of controversy to this time and space in advance, anyway, he would be over if he just said a few good words and fooled the past.

After the morning visit, Monsanto invited the whole delegation to have a meal with Gan Guoyang, as well as Stockton and Hansen, as for whether the meal was genetically modified Gan Guoyang, he didn't know, anyway, he didn't care.

In the afternoon, Gan Guoyang and Stockton decided to go to Hansen's farm to play, Hansen's farm has an outdoor basketball hoop, Gan Guoyang's hands have already begun to itch, for him basketball is the most important thing.

Before saying goodbye, Gan Guoyang and the people of the delegation took a photo together, and finally, Gan Guoyang also took a group photo with the secretary of the county party committee of Zhengding County.

"Goodbye, Secretary Xi, I hope that the motherland can get better and better, and I also believe that China will soon become rich and on par with the United States! …… And this photo, I believe, will become very precious in the future! Gan Guoyang held the photo taken by Polaroid for the two of them, and he thought that the NBA would soon enter China, and as long as he played well in China at that time, the influence would definitely be great, and this photo would naturally be very precious.

Gan Guoyang is right, this photo will indeed become very precious, but it is not only because of the NBA entering China, but more importantly, it is the life trajectory of the county party secretary in the future, which Gan Guoyang would never have imagined.

"Goodbye, Comrade Gan Guoyang, your words inspire me a lot, I don't actually know basketball, but I will slowly pay attention to basketball in the future...... Oh yes, Comrade Gan Guoyang, I heard that after a while, the Chinese men's basketball team will also visit the United States, and you, as a Chinese player, will definitely meet with them, and when the time comes, you will be able to have a good exchange! The secretary of the county party committee held Gan Guoyang's hand and said with a smile, but it was another bombshell thrown to Gan Guoyang.

"The Chinese men's basketball team is going to visit the United States?" When Gan Guoyang heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Since the Chinese men's basketball team is going to visit the United States, Gan Guoyang is going to participate in the reception of the Chinese men's basketball team by the American Basketball Association, and it will definitely be indispensable to play with them at that time.

Gan Guoyang still remembers that at the opening ceremony of the 84 Olympic Games, the athlete who represented China as the flag bearer was the big forward of the Chinese men's basketball team, Song Tao.

If Gan hadn't come to this era, Song Tao would have been the first Chinese player to be drafted by the NBA – although he ultimately missed the opportunity due to injury.

In 84, Gan Guoyang watched the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games, but he did not have the opportunity to contact them.

Gan Guoyang knew the news, and his mood was even more nervous than playing in the Western Conference Finals, because in Gan Guoyang's heart, he always hoped to represent the Chinese men's basketball team in international competitions, even if he was punished for disturbing the big history, he was willing to take this risk.

After leaving Monsanto in Hansen's father's car and coming to Hansen's farm, Gan Guoyang lost his previous interest and began to think about the Chinese national team.

"Hey John, do you have a phone number for Stern's office?" Gan Guoyang suddenly asked Stockton.

"What's the matter, Gan, do you want to ask Mr. President to raise your salary for you?"

"Don't be kidding, I'm going to contact him first, but don't when I'm wandering around, and he can't find me when he needs it, I have something important."
