Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 272 Seed War
When Zhao Ye mentioned that Galaxy Agricultural Company could focus on developing small agricultural machinery, Zhou Yue immediately expressed his support.

China's national conditions are such that the development of large-scale agricultural machinery will not be achieved in one fell swoop and will take a long time.

Small agricultural machinery also has great potential in China.

Zhou Yue immediately introduced some small agricultural machinery to Zhao Ye, such as small excavators, pastoral management machines, walking tractors, scarifiers, small rice harvesters, small lawn mowers, etc...

In foreign countries, small agricultural machinery is also quite developed. Basically, rural families in developed countries in Europe and the United States are using agricultural machinery, but domestically it is still in its infancy.

After listening to Zhou Yue's introduction, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh softly, and became increasingly aware of the major challenges facing China's agricultural mechanization.

In addition, industries such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides also lag far behind foreign countries.

China must catch up! ! !
……

On September 9, Galaxy Agricultural Company officially started recruiting external talents.

Major headhunting companies around the world have received orders to recruit talents for Galaxy Agriculture Company.

With the help of the government, Academician Yuan Nongping decided to join Galaxy Agriculture Company, and also brought a team that had been working with him on super hybrid rice for a long time.

In addition, the government also recommended to Zhao Ye Academician Li Zhensheng, who is the founder of distant hybrid breeding of wheat in China and is known as "Contemporary Houji" and "Father of Distant Hybridization of Chinese Wheat".

The country obviously wants to use the resources of Yinhe Agricultural Company to speed up the research of hybrid rice and hybrid wheat in our country.

This is undoubtedly a recognition of Galaxy Agriculture Company.

Academician Yuan Nongping and Academician Li Zhensheng are more important than national treasures. It is not an exaggeration to call them "unparalleled national scholars" and "the backbone of the nation"!

Without them and the many silently dedicated scientific researchers behind them in previous lives, the Chinese people would probably not even have enough to eat.

Zhao Ye was very happy and excited when he learned that they had joined Galaxy Agriculture Company. He was full of hope for the future of Galaxy Agriculture Company.

Soon, Academician Yuan Nongping and Academician Li Zhensheng came to Shanghai with their respective teams, met with Zhao Ye and Zhou Yue, CEO of Galaxy Agriculture Company, and then each introduced the details of their research fields and made some requirements.

conference room.

Zhao Ye and Zhou Yue listened carefully to the reports of Academician Yuan Nongping and Academician Li Zhensheng.

"Cultivation of hybrid rice is a very arduous task. Hybrid rice is to mate two different varieties of rice through sexual reproduction, discover excellent varieties and reproduce them, in order to increase rice yield and improve rice quality. The purpose. To successfully breed excellent hybrid rice requires multiple steps and mastery of many complex details as well as countless experiments..."

"There are more than tens of thousands of rice varieties in my country, and different regions will choose to plant different varieties according to the characteristics of the terrain environment..."

"Currently, the rice yield per mu is 400kg. I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in hybrid rice yields..."

Is the current rice yield only 400kg per mu?
Zhao Ye remembered that when he was watching the news, the rice yield per mu exceeded 2014kg as early as 1000.

After Academician Yuan Nongping finished speaking, Academician Li Zhensheng began to introduce hybrid wheat.

“In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the wheat yield per mu was only 150 kilograms to 200 kilograms.”

"Today, the wheat yield per mu is more than 500 kilograms. If improved varieties are used and scientific management is carried out, the wheat yield can be effectively increased."

"My biggest wish now is to increase the domestic average wheat yield per mu to more than 1000 kilograms, so that more people can have enough to eat! It is the happiest thing in the world for the villagers to eat white flour buns every day~"

Yes, rural China is still very poor, and it is very common not to be able to eat white flour steamed buns.

Although China's GDP is very high, it is largely concentrated in big cities.

Moreover, the gap between rich and poor in China is extremely huge.

Not to mention anything else, Zhao Ye's wealth is hundreds of billions of dollars, but as for the peasant family, the total savings of the family may be less than 1 yuan?
Living in this era, Zhao Ye is well aware of the rural conditions in China.

When I heard Academician Li Zhensheng say, "It is the happiest thing in the world for the villagers to eat white flour steamed buns every day." I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

As a super rich man, Zhao Ye naturally has this idea.

Anyone with a good heart will be sympathetic.

"You two academicians, don't worry, after joining Yinhe Agricultural Company, we will give you a lot of research funding to speed up the cultivation of super hybrid rice and super hybrid wheat..."

After a pause, Zhao Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The scientific research funding is at least 10 billion yuan! In fact, I can give you more funding without any upper limit, as long as you use it up! The so-called 'People's Fund'" Food is the most important thing. As long as it can solve the problem of enough food for Chinese people, I don’t think it matters how much money we spend.”

Hearing this, Academician Yuan Nongping and Academician Li Zhensheng were shocked.

Zhao Ye is really wealthy and has given Yu so much scientific research funding.

They used to engage in research on super hybrid seeds and had relatively little scientific research funding.

For example, Academician Yuan Nongping once applied for scientific research funds from the state, and the maximum he could apply for was 3000 million yuan, but here Zhao Ye started with 10 billion yuan. No wonder the state asked him to join Galaxy Agriculture Company.

Big Boss Zhao Ye really doesn't take money as money. With so much funding, these scientific researchers can definitely speed up the cultivation of super seeds.

With sufficient funds, many experimental fields can be established and many sets of experiments can be conducted at the same time.

Many great scientific inventions are actually based on countless experiments.

Scientific research is expensive mainly because the cost of trial and error is high.

Not long after, Academician Yuan Nongping and Academician Li Zhensheng went to the hotel to rest, but their faces could not hide their excitement.

From time to time, they sigh and say, "It is possible that our country will achieve a breakthrough in grain production" and "Chinese people can finally have enough to eat"...

In the morning of the next day, the two academicians couldn't wait to leave Shanghai with their team and continue their scientific research work.

This time, they have a large amount of scientific research funds and can recruit more talents, let go and go big.

Foreign headhunting companies have since recruited a large number of agricultural talents for Galaxy Agriculture Company, including many world-renowned agricultural scientists, which has solved the talent shortage problem in super seed cultivation. However, these are not problems that can be solved with money. question.

The headhunting company has also recruited a large number of "genetically modified" technical talents for Galaxy Agriculture from companies such as Monsanto, Cargill, BASF, Bayer, Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences, ADM, and Bunge.

Poaching competitors' talents into your own company not only strengthens itself, but also weakens the other party, which to a certain extent slows down the development of "genetically modified" technology in Europe and the United States.

Moreover, Zhao Ye does not believe that these companies will be more willing to spend money on the "genetically modified" field than he is.

In the previous life, in 2022, the global seed market was US$472 billion, and it would definitely not reach more than US$1996 billion in 400.

The seed market is still relatively small, but it has great potential for growth.Furthermore, seeds are related to food security. In any case, Zhao Ye will not let other companies control the seed market.

Many people have heard of oil wars, chip wars, and currency wars, but they may not have heard of seed wars.

But many people should have heard Kissinger's words: If you control oil, you control all countries; if you control food, you control the entire human race.

Controlling oil and controlling the food of all mankind is Kissinger's national strategy for M country.

Monsanto will continue to acquire seed companies in the future. By 2014, Monsanto has mastered 90% of the world's genetically modified seed technology and occupied 70 to 100% of the market for various crop seeds.

Galaxy Agricultural Company is mainly targeting this company this time to recruit people.

Because Galaxy Agricultural Company also wants to launch a seed war, control the global seed market, and compete with Monsanto! ! !
