Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 170: Nantianmen, another black pot for Fujima

Yu Yang didn't know that the reason why Lao Bu suspected that his family possessed gene editing technology was mainly because gene editing is the most discussed topic in the scientific community today.

The cause is that ADM's biochemical department and ADM's affiliated institutions, such as Dow AgroSciences, DuPont Pioneer Agriculture Company, etc., have burned more than 2 billion US dollars in scientific research funds in the past six months.

The 20 billion US dollars is not for investment or purchase of raw materials.

Once you spend all your money but don’t get any scientific research results, it means you have nothing.

This move not only made seed traders such as Bayer, Monsanto, Corteva, Syngenta, BASF, and Limagrain feel uneasy, but also made three other global grain traders feel uneasy, suspecting that ADM was going to make a big move.

So they sent out commercial spies, bribed ADM employees, or infiltrated relevant research laboratories.

Then ADM's research project was soon presented to many companies.

At this time, ADM no longer studied "playing the lute to a cow", "watching cartoons to pigs" or "using radar to illuminate seeds", but conducted serious experiments.

Because the Pingdong County Science and Technology Bureau saw Sanyuan Agriculture growing bigger and stronger, they felt that they were lacking in some aspects, so they collectively enrolled in several training courses to improve their skills in making up stories.

Now not only can we use hybridization theory, but we can also insert some genetic programming things.

Although the paper is still irrelevant, fruits, vegetables and Sany soybeans are all living examples.

This led to many experts and professors in the East becoming skeptical and starting to analyze and imagine.

As a result, many formal papers were published.

Once ADM collects these papers and draws on them, and then many seed traders steal the research reports from ADM laboratories, the scientific community will be bustling.

So much so that gene editing has become the hottest topic at the moment.

As a result, more laboratories began to burn funds.

But the happiest ones here are not the Pingdong County Science and Technology Bureau, nor ADM, nor the global seed traders and major laboratories.

It's the computer manufacturers.

Because modifying the genetic code is like modifying the words in a paragraph.

Every time you make a revision, you should "read it once" to see if it makes sense.

There are so many genetic codes in organisms that if we want to continuously modify, try and error, and restore them, we need huge computing power support, which means we need to use supercomputers.

As a result, the Nasdaq, which contains a large number of technology concept stocks, suddenly began to soar during its continuous growth, and has not stopped until now, breaking its historical highs all the time.

of course.

Yu Sanyuan, the instigator of the incident, was unaware of all this.

When he learned that Old Bu was planning to steal his pigs, cows, donkeys and horses, he immediately tried to use logic to infer Old Bu's intentions.

But Lao Bu is a military and industrialist, so why would he study pigs, cows, donkeys and horses?
Do you want to send pigs, cows, donkeys and horses to the battlefield?
Yu Yang thought hard but to no avail, and looked at the crossbowman Zhuge Eleven who was eavesdropping on the conversation between Old Bu and Barbara again.

"Just keep an eye on it. If there's any important news, call me directly."

"Okay, boss."

The crossbow soldier Zhuge Shiyi can understand Ingrid because his family has hired a group of foreign language teachers at a high price in the past six months to provide them with one-on-one training.

For example, the eldest Zhuge brother studied English, the second Zhuge brother studied Japanese, and the third Zhuge brother studied Korean.

Then they used the channels of the Hong Kong Aquatic Products Import and Export Company to send the smarter crossbowmen abroad, allowing them to fend for themselves.

After obtaining a level 1 town center, a new fortress option is added to the city wall, which allows you to recruit slingers, and a new military mansion option is added to the barracks, which allows you to recruit heavy infantry, elite archers, and two-handed swordsmen...

They were all placed in important occasions in Tai City, playing an extremely important role.

……

the next day.

Yu Yang invited Lao Bu and his wife Barbara to climb Mount Dongyue together, and the latter readily agreed.

Because the two were too old, the crowd did not take the steps of the Red Gate.

Instead, take a tourist sightseeing bus, starting from Tianwai Bridge, passing through the fairy-like Nantianmen, and follow the winding mountain road next to the W compound in the city, directly to the halfway point of the mountain.

Then take the sightseeing cable car invested by Sanyuan Construction to Zhongtianmen and walk to the Temple of the God of Wealth.

Today, after more than half a year of adjustment and upgrading, Dongyue has surpassed its past in terms of both hardware facilities and the scale of the scenic area, even surpassing another time and space.

The main thing is that the more antique buildings are built, the larger the area occupied by the family.

Therefore, the Dongyue Scenic Area advanced towards the southern mountainous area of ​​Dongshan Prefecture. No matter whether it belonged to Tai City or Dongshan Prefecture, they would occupy as much as they could.

Normally speaking, Dongyue is a holy place of Taoism and there should be Taoist priests.

But after the scenic spot was commercialized, there were no more ascetics in Dongyue as early as the 1960s and 1970s.

Therefore, during the upgrade of Dongyue Scenic Area, the Taoist Association contacted "Sanyuan Tourism" and hoped that Quanzhen Taoism could settle in Dongyue.

However, with the rise of Futu Temple, this matter suddenly had no follow-up.

Yu Yang suspected that the Buddhist temple might be too powerful. If someone came to discuss Buddhist scriptures and doctrines, losing would be a small matter, but losing face would be a big matter.

So, it’s better not to come.

Therefore, the huge Dongyue Taoist Temple was empty for half a year.

Until later, he recruited heavy infantry, elite archers, and two-handed swordsmen...

Finally, Taoism experienced a revival.

For example, on the eastern slope of the Dongyue Scenic Area, there is a Taoist temple where three heavy-armored infantrymen as strong as bulls live. They wrap yellow scarves on their heads and wear yellow robes, and they call themselves Yellow Scarf Warriors.

For example, at the west foot of the Dongyue Scenic Area, there is a Taoist temple where five tall elite archers live. They wear free-spirited crowns and free-spirited robes, and can walk on the mountain as if it were flat ground, and fly over eaves and walls in the streets and alleys...

For example, in an inconspicuous valley at the northern foot of Mount Dongyue, there is a thatched cottage where a two-handed swordsman with a resolute face lives. He wears coarse linen clothes, a large wine gourd tied around his waist, and a heavy giant sword tied with a black iron chain in his hand. Whenever this man who calls himself the Drunken Sword Immortal gets drunk, he will swing the heavy sword with world-beating moves while shouting "Slay demons and exterminate monsters in heaven and earth"...

Let me ask you, facing this situation, do you want to practice Taoism?

It's a pity that there is no real Taoist priest in the family, and no one understands the Taoist scriptures.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism with the Buddha Temple.

But even so, the three major Taoist temples in Dongyue have increased the number of tourists to Dongyue Scenic Area by four or five times.

Some were burning incense, praying for blessings, hoping to become a Taoist monk, and some even changed their sects to become disciples...

The level of liveliness is no less than that of Futu Temple.

The only trouble is that, affected by Nantianmen, Tianwai Bridge has very slow business at 4:30 p.m. every time.

Not to mention human figures, even animals and insect sounds have disappeared.

Even though Yu Yang didn't believe in gods and demons, he still felt the surroundings were eerie when he passed by Nantianmen on his way back.

I even felt a chill down my spine, as if something was whispering in my ear: 'Don't look back~, don't look back~, outside the Nantian Gate is the Yin-Yang Road~, looking forward is the human world, looking back is the underworld...'

"By the way, the building materials of Nantianmen, could they be radioactive?"

'Or is it just a psychological effect? ​​'

Yu Yang turned his head to look in disbelief. Apart from the old Bu couple with stiff faces, and many staff members who also looked unhappy, there was nothing strange.

Sure enough, we have to believe in science.

Yu Yang thought so in his heart and couldn't help but quicken his pace of leaving.

……

That night.

Yu Yang had a dream.

He dreamed that he took Old Bu and his wife to visit the southern foot of the Dongyue Scenic Area, and then when they passed by Nantianmen on the way back, he heard a strange murmur and could not help but turn his head back.

In an instant, the old Mr. and Mrs. Bush and the staff all disappeared, and everything in the field of vision turned into a misty gray-white mixed with a hint of scarlet.

At this moment, Black and White Impermanence, accompanied by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, slowly walked out of the smoke...

"Brothers, help!"

Accompanied by hysterical shouts, tens of thousands of strong men poured out from all directions.

Not only farmers, but also spearmen, light cavalry, crossbowmen, elite archers, elite archer cavalry, two-handed greatswordsmen...

Even the catapults and siege vehicles were pushed out by the brothers.

When the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil saw this, they ran away.

Yu Yang rode on the blindfolded and stupid warhorse and raised his arms and shouted, "Fuck, you dare to scare me, brothers, let's rebel, capture the palace, and burn the Book of Life and Death..."

Suddenly.

"The boss?!"

"Come on!"

"Boss, wake up quickly."

"Ok?"

"Master, are you okay?"

Yu Yang opened his eyes and saw Chang Fu looking at him with concern.

But when I looked around, I realized that I was dreaming.

"Ah Fu, I'm fine, you go out first, I'll sleep for a while."

"Ok?"

"Continue the unfinished dream."

"..."

However, after Yu Yang lay down, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not find the dream he had just had.

No wonder many people feel grumpy when they wake up.

How can I not be angry when my good dream is disturbed?
"Changfu, outside the Nantian Gate, have you turned back?"

"I have definitely been back."

"Did anything strange happen?"

"That's not the case."

"Nothing at all?"

"Oh, I had a dream that night. I dreamed that the Black and White Impermanence were taking my life."

"and then?"

"What am I? I'm a bandit. I'll definitely go to hell when I die. Rather than being tortured in hell, I might as well rebel. I'll charge into the underworld with a spear and fight for my life and death in the flames."

"Good boy, no wonder we can pee in the same pit."

After Yu Yang finished speaking, he immediately reacted, "Fuck you, we are ordinary people!"

"Oh, that's right. No bandit would ever call himself a bandit."

"Grass!"

……

The next day.

Yu Yang invited Lao Bu and his wife to come to the fairy-like Nantianmen again.

It’s nothing more than burning incense to wash away the bad luck from last night.

Afterwards, everyone boarded the hot pot train, sat in the retro carriage, ate hot pot, looked at the scenery, and arrived at Liangshan Marsh to continue their tour.

Wait until the fourth day.

The first batch of bicycles produced by Sanyuan Bicycle Factory rolled off the assembly line. The shapes were different from the 28-inch bicycles, but adopted curved beam, mountain bike, folding bike, tricycle and other styles.

And the material is lightweight, the color is high-end, and the quality is very good.

This made the employees of Sanyuan Agriculture very happy, and everyone was discussing it.

When Mr. and Mrs. Bu heard about this, they were particularly interested.

He also requested Yu Yang to visit the bicycle factory and learn about Sanyuan Agricultural's processing and manufacturing capabilities.

Yu Yang did not refuse and immediately took the old Bu couple to visit the Sanyuan Bicycle Factory.

At the same time, he asked his eldest brother Zhao Qian to temporarily build a tricycle at the blacksmith shop, and then install an electric motor purchased from outside to assemble a Laotoule and send it over.

Mr. and Mrs. Bu got on the Old Man's Car and were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They couldn't put it down and drove it all day long.

……

A week later.

Mr. and Mrs. Bu, along with old man Le, set off back to Texas.

Although the two sides didn't talk about anything during the trip.

But the moment the two sides met, hugged and greeted each other, the discussion was over.

That is, Sanyuan Agriculture and Marubeni Corporation jointly opened the Eastern Front battlefield to contain the Smith family's capital in the East and even in Southeast Asia.

The Bush family opened the Western Front in Europe and the United States, exhausting the Smith family's capital in the financial field.

But Yu Yang has given a lot of considerations to this cooperation.

Because the Marubeni Corporation controlled by Bush has an influence in the East that is no less than that of the Smith family.

If we get rid of the Smith family and wait for a year or two, when Bush becomes the head of North America, his family will face a double encirclement from capital and politics.

However, the Smith family's siege of their own home became increasingly tight.

Especially the current general manager of North America, Klin, is the nephew of old Smith.

To their own family, the current threat posed by the Smith family is greater than that of the Old Bull family.

So, there is no problem in cooperating with the Bush family.

But it is hard to say whether they will work and contribute during the cooperation period.

What's more, Old Bull came here to recruit foreign aid.

When you ask someone to do something for you, you should always show some appreciation.

For example, Marubeni Corporation's Wanhong Investment in the East is so rich that it even dares to help Mrs. Smith with foreign exchange at a ratio of 1:15. Now it is looking for Sanyuan Agriculture to wholesale some beef at a super high price, or some soybean meal at a super high price, which is a disguised way of supplying some ammunition to Sanyuan Agriculture. Is that okay?

Otherwise, where does Sanyuan Agriculture get its motivation from? !

"It's a waste of all the years I've lived in the East. I don't even understand the ways of the world."

Yu Yang lit a cigarette and complained.

At this time.

Old Bu, who was about to board a business jet, suddenly turned back.

"Dear Yu, Fujima's three hounds are very good. I also hope to have a few of them."

"As you wish, how many?"

"100."

"???"

"It can be converted into blue Great Man banknotes according to the price Fujima bought it for. After the goods are delivered, I will ask Wanhong Investment to transfer the payment to Sanyuan Agriculture's company account."

100 lines x 1000 million US dollars equals 10 billion US dollars.

Of course, what Bush gave was not US dollars, but the blue giant banknotes that Marubeni Corporation could not exchange.

That is 10 billion US dollars x 8.25 exchange rate, 82.5 billion blue giant banknotes.

After Yu Yang made some calculations, he fell silent.

Either way, it's a huge sum of money.

Facts have proved that Old Bush really understands the ways of the world.

What's more, Yu Yang thought of the "Calling Eagle Sauce" in That Year That Hare.

Then the support from the Eagle Sauce came.

Logically speaking, we should be happy.

But why can't I be happy?
In deep thought.

The Bush family's Gulfstream V business jet takes off.

Yu Yang took a deep puff of smoke, took out his phone, and contacted Lao Dong, "Boss, Lao Bu wants three pandas."

"I'll ask my superiors."

"Well, Old Bull said to keep it in the nutrient-rich place for now and bring it back to Texas next time he comes."

"okay, I get it."

……

11 month 25 number.

West of Hangai, on the bank of the Yellow River, is Sanyuan Heavy Industry.

This super machinery manufacturing enterprise, which cost 510 billion yuan to establish, currently has only three steel-structured plastic greenhouses, one for office, one for scientific research, and one for dormitory.

And there is only 15 billion in available funds in the company's account.

After all, the funds were used to build bridges and roads, and the proceeds from the sales of conventional machine tools and three-axis linkage machine tools could not be recorded in the accounts.

However, Sanyuan Heavy Industry has a complete staff.

Front desk, reception, security, finance, purchasing, sales, as well as various mechanical engineers, machine operators, and mechanical designers recruited from the Northeast...

"Hello, Mr. Yu~~~"

"Good, very good."

Yu Yang glanced at the three slightly mature receptionists, nodded with a smile, and walked into the chairman's office.

Soon, the financial director transferred from Santui came in hurriedly.

"Mr. Yu, after North America signed the bill, within just one week, countless cheap Japanese and German machine tools appeared on the market, including three-axis CNC machine tools with a precision of 0.01mm."

"What about the price?"

"CNC machine tools, which were almost impossible to buy before, are now two-thirds cheaper."

"This is all thanks to us, otherwise how could North America sign the relevant bill?"

"But the machine tools that 'run on water' are not selling well."

"Lower the price. Our costs are so low that we can definitely make it four-fifths cheaper than before."

"If this happens, the big customers who purchased the machine tools before will definitely not be happy about it."

"So what if you don't want to? Sue us? What we did was not in compliance with the law in the first place."

"Makes sense."

In another time and space, it is common to see prices drop after buying something.

Especially for houses, when have developers ever made up the price difference?
Yu Yang thought for a moment, "The water route business will still be going on for a long time. For the sake of reputation... let's do this. Give a few sets of molds to the big customers and make it clear that North America is doing this just to bankrupt the water route business. In fact, the water route team has also lost a lot of money, but for the sake of future business, we are willing to give some compensation to the big customers. Remember to let the contact cry about being poor more, and then make the cash out more miserable."

"it is good!"

"How is the research on our own machine tools?"

"There has been no progress so far because it is too difficult to circumvent the patent."

"Take your time, this is just the beginning."

"Yes, Mr. Yu."

"Then find a way to purchase 100 local dogs that look good."

"Ok?"

"Yes, I heard it right. Then send these dogs to the old No. 2 plastic greenhouse to be raised for a period of time. During this period, they will go through quarantine and inspection procedures before being sent to Austin, Texas..."

As Yu Yang spoke, he logged into the computer and printed out the order sent by the United Defense Company, an industry under the Old Bush family.

The financial director picked up the paper in confusion, saw the purchase quantity, and then carefully counted the total amount of the payment. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, "This?"

"You read that right, 10 billion US dollars for 100 dogs."

"..."

At this time.

The female counselor who was carried back from school called.

"The Smith family took action against Marubeni Corporation. They listed the advanced equipment and medical devices that Marubeni Corporation provided to the East, as well as many technologies that were on the prohibited supply list, to the organization that signed the Wassenaar Arrangement."

"Will Marubeni Corporation be destroyed?"

"With the protection of the Old Bush family, even if the North American General Manager Klin is biased towards the Smith family, the damage to Marubeni Corporation should not be too great."

"Okay instructor, I understand."

Yu Yang hung up the phone, thought again and again, and made an extremely important decision.

Kill Marubeni.

Because the other party's influence in the East is too great.

As for the cooperation between our family and the old Bu family...

Without Marubeni, the Bush family will have to rely more on itself.

Besides, the two sides will fall out sooner or later, so there is no point in being afraid.

As for how to kill Marubeni...

Due to the influence of patents, it is indeed difficult for a company to develop its own unique machine tools.

Due to the influence of chips, it is difficult for companies to develop CNC machine tools with a precision exceeding 0.01mm.

But as the logic teacher said, when looking at a problem, we must look at the essence.

What are machine tools used for?

Increase production capacity, reduce costs and improve precision.

Another thing is to manufacture some processing components that are difficult to complete by manpower, such as the turbine engines of jet fighters and the propellers of large ships.

Among these, things like engine crankshafts and engine fan blades, which seem complex but have very simple structures for a blacksmith shop, can actually be produced.

What's more, the shipyard can directly produce propellers for large ships.

This is a shipyard, after all, dedicated to shipbuilding.

Then.

If the East had turbine engine blades and large ship propellers that the East could never make...

Who will take the blame?

Of course, this is the last time Fujima will be blamed for this.
