Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 512 Crazy Beef

"I hope so. If we can't farm the land in the future, we don't know what else we can do, and we don't know what we will eat then."

Regarding Liu Chang's words, Liu Chang's father didn't deny it, but just expressed a little emotion.They are from southern Hunan. Now many families no longer grow anything by themselves. They spend money to buy it, or collectively grow it in the village, and then distribute it to each family.

Shonan is okay here, after all, there is still so much arable land.No one here is wasting arable land, but in those rapidly developing cities, their arable land is decreasing day by day, so what will those people eat.

"Hehe, you can still go out to travel if you can't farm. The family doesn't necessarily need you and my mother to earn money. And we don't lack arable land, and we don't lack food and vegetables. Why are you worried about so much?"

There are some things that Liu Chang can't say too much to his father.For example, Liu Chang has always been worried about these things.Although many things in the previous life have not happened now, who knows what will happen in the future?For example, the Dabei Agricultural Company, there has been no incident of seed theft in this life, because they are cooperating with Shonan Agriculture.

But this is just an example. There are still many things that Liu Chang had no access to or did not know about in his previous life. Those things happened as they happened, and maybe the same thing happened at this time, but Liu Chang didn't know about it.So there are not many things he can change, just change what he knows.

"Have you guys had enough fun? When you've had enough fun, help grandpa take these things home. In the evening, we will eat beef and drink beef bone soup. Be full!"

After Liu Chang's words, Liu Chang's father didn't express his joy after hearing it, but turned his head and called the little guys who were having fun, asking them to help bring some things home.After the meat is decomposed, it has to be stored at home, not in the large reservoir.

But today, when cattle are slaughtered at home, it is inevitable to eat large pieces of meat.In addition to beef, there are also pig dishes.These are things that are usually difficult to eat, and can only be eaten by killing pigs at home.The three generations of the Liu family don't usually eat these.

Liu Chang saw his father's reaction, but he didn't continue to say anything.The times are different, and the knowledge and cultural level of the two are also different. Even if Liu Chang said something clearly, his father might not understand it, so it's better not to say it.

"By the way, on the hillside next to your reservoir, how is your project doing? Now you don't see any digging, but the number of construction workers hasn't decreased much."

When they were walking home together, Liu Chang's father suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Chang.There is a project going on here, Liu Chang's father naturally knows, and he also knows that a lot of money has been spent.This has been going on for some time now, and I don't know when it will start to finish.

For this project, Liu Chang's father had always been watching coldly from the sidelines. He felt that Liu Chang had too much money and no place to put it, so he made such a thing.He hadn't seen the car digging the dirt for a while, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's almost there next year. Now the main project has been completed, and the rest is to install the equipment and machines inside, so there is no need to continue digging inside."

After hearing this, Liu Chang replied that this barrier project has been going on for several years, and now it has entered the final stage.Liu Chang's father thought it was only on the reservoir, but it was actually bigger below him than he imagined.Including the bottom of the nearby reservoir, and the bottom of the surrounding paddy fields, they are actually covered.

After the main project inside is completed, various things will be stored in it next year, including planting some things.Anyway, I have time all these years, so it's good to slowly toss in it when the time comes.It shouldn't be a problem for my father to toss down the reservoir by himself, and do something down there by himself.

"Mr. Liu, Monsanto has recently been caught in a series of disadvantages. Should we start a plan to acquire this company? If we intervene at this time, we should be very sure that we can take this company down. The only concern is the American Will the government stop it?"

When Chinese New Year was approaching, the person in charge of Shonan Agriculture called Liu Chang.Now the seeds and pesticides have not been separated, and they are all managed by Shonan Agriculture.So in this regard, he also reported the situation to Liu Chang together, and he also knew about Monsanto's affairs.

In fact, it is not just Monsanto. Over the years, several other large seed pesticide companies in the world have fallen into a series of disadvantages.For example, Syngenta, Dow, etc., are facing various problems.In particular, Liu Chang made people spread some things on a global scale, such as those things that used to bring fatal factors to people.

These are real facts, coupled with various soft articles, and the emotions of the people who were brought up, several large companies in the world are facing various difficulties.In fact, there is no such thing as what Liu Chang did. Monsanto and Syngenta in the previous life, and another company, did not last long, and then the acquired ones were acquired and merged.

For example, Monsanto was acquired by Bayer, and Syngenta was acquired by a domestic chemical company, all at a purchase price of hundreds of billions of dollars.For Liu Chang, if he wants to acquire, it is not difficult.After all, his assets alone are more than this.

"No, that company means nothing to us. They have new technologies, and we have caught up with them. But their reputation is bad, and acquiring them will only bring us a series of negative effect. We are taking a green and healthy path, not the same path as them.”

After thinking for a while, Liu Chang replied, for a while, he really wanted to take Monsanto into his hands.Because this company used to be too awesome in Liu Chang's memory.But after thinking about it, I gave up the idea because it was unrealistic.

First, the United States will definitely not be willing.After all, food seeds are something that is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The United States will definitely not let domestic companies control it, and other countries are fine.Monsanto was acquired by Bayer, and it took so many twists and turns, and there are also these reasons, but Bayer is in the hands of Westerners.

Second, it is exactly what Liu Chang said just now.The philosophies of the two companies are not the same, and there is not much difference in technology, so after the acquisition, there is really no benefit to Shonan Agriculture, and it will be implicated by various stigmas, so the acquisition is completely unnecessary.

"However, even if we don't buy Monsanto, Shonan Agriculture still needs to make some adjustments. The things we did in the past are still publicized. Even if these companies are in trouble, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. We must let them lose more. In addition I am going to spin off the research on pesticides and seeds, set up a new company, arrange other people to manage it, and then go public.”

The purpose of listing is nothing more than to absorb more funds and then use them in various research and development.Otherwise, these alone would slow down the pace of agricultural development in southern Shonan a lot every year.The scale of Shonan's agriculture should be larger, so that Liu Chang can feel a little bit of security, which is far from enough now.

After chatting with the person in charge of Shonan Agriculture, Liu Chang held a video conference with the senior management of Shonan Agriculture Company, and then sent people to Shonan Agriculture to control the management of Shonan Biological Company and arrange the listing plan.

"Mr. Liu, our researchers have discovered a new case in Europe, which is suspected to be a new evolutionary case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. This case is more contagious than the previous disease, and the transmission method is simpler. So far, there have been Suspected cases have been found in several countries. It’s just that they don’t seem to be paying attention, and they are hiding information.”

Just as Liu Chang was preparing to list Shonan Biotech with great fanfare, a piece of bad news came from Shonan Biotech's overseas base, which caught Liu Chang's attention.Because this incident didn't happen in Liu Chang's memory, maybe he didn't even know it happened.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is mad cow disease, which affects not only cattle but also humans.Now that he heard the report from the scientific researchers on his side, Liu Chang immediately became nervous.Next to it, there is a shadow of swine fever that is developing to the east, and this brings up a new problem. Isn't this frighteningly scary?
"How is the health of our researchers? If these things are found to be harmful to the human body, an immediate retreat plan will be launched. These things are only spreading in Europe now, and they are still far away from us. The health of the technicians is more important, we must protect them .”

"Our research and development personnel have taken protective measures, and there is no abnormal phenomenon now, and we have made a lot of progress in the prevention and treatment of mad cow disease recently. These new cases should be handled better, so these people don't want to withdraw for the time being. , they still need more data analysis research.”

After listening to Liu Chang's words, the people at Shonan Biology replied that Liu Chang didn't understand these things. He just instinctively felt that it was dangerous, so he asked his researchers to withdraw first.But for those researchers, they really want to study this new type of case.

However, none of them expected that this case was much more powerful than they imagined.Although it has little effect on those researchers, it has a big impact on those cattle.Due to the cover-up and ignorance of some people, this new type of cases quickly hit the whole of Europe.

Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe were not spared.Even the United States, South American countries, and island countries across the ocean were quickly implicated.On the contrary, many countries on the east side have not been affected for the time being, which made Liu Chang breathe a little easier.

"What's the situation with the beef this year? Why has the price been increasing all the time? The beef at the market has increased by several dollars, and only the beef at Trust-Mart has not increased much. Fortunately, our family has raised several cattle, so there is no need to worry about running out of meat. eat."

The outbreak of the new mad cow disease has caused the price of domestic beef to rise accordingly. Although the supply has always been sufficient, it cannot stand up to various gossip.Liu Chang's family prepared more meat this year than usual, and Liu Qian was confinement at home, which consumed a lot of meat.

Liu Chang's mother came back from shopping outside this day, and couldn't help nagging.Her family didn't need to buy these meats, and things for the New Year were ready, so she was just chattering casually, without any other meaning.

"You usually watch the news, so you know that you are staring at those TV dramas every day. Now the cattle abroad are almost dead, and the beef sold outside is more expensive. Everyone wants to go abroad to make a lot of money, and the domestic beef is naturally less. , it’s normal to sell expensive.”

Liu Chang didn't say anything, but Liu Chang's father answered with a smug look on his face.The beef has gone up, and the few cows he raised can be sold at a high price again.In addition, whether it is in Shonan, or around the bases of Shonan agriculture in the whole country, those ordinary people who raise cattle have to earn a good fortune.

"The life and death of these foreigners has nothing to do with us. We won't sell them any beef. In case they are full, and when they have something to do, we have to let them have no meat to eat!"

Liu Chang's mother doesn't usually read the news very much, but occasionally, what she sees is that the country of the United States is bullying that small country again, and then the country of the United States is doing something again, so she has never had a good impression of foreign countries, and she thinks crooked nuts are all very bad.

While the whole world is watching the beef, Shonan Biology hastened to start a new research plan for new cases based on the original results.Compared with other institutions, their original results on mad cow disease were very good, but before they had time to publish their results, they encountered this incident again.

"Choose a time, first publish the preliminary research results of mad cow disease, and release the location abroad. Take the time to study the three types of cases, and don't worry too much about the others. Just at this time, let our company make a public appearance, which is convenient for the future. listing plan."

When the whole world was on guard against Type III mad cow disease, Liu Chang called the person in charge of Shonan Biology and asked them to prepare and announce their latest research results.They have found a way to prevent and treat it. Although it is not against Type [-], it is also of great benefit.

"Ok."

The newly appointed person in charge of Shonan Biology was originally in charge of seed research and development and pesticide research and development. Someone from Shonan Agriculture wanted to take over the sovereignty, but Liu Chang denied it and only matched a deputy.He is worried that those people don't understand technology and will lead the company astray.

It is better to do research and development professionally, and it is easy to carry out these research and development work with the support of people who understand technology.The people in Shonan agriculture are engaged in planting and breeding, and those who are engaged in the market are involved in the market. They cannot be involved too deeply in Shonan biology.

However, what Liu Chang didn't expect was that Nanya fell before Shonan Biology released its research results.For some countries here, cattle were originally their sacred things, but now, they are inevitably infected with those problems.

All of a sudden, the whole world is struggling with this problem.The global beef is rising rapidly, and the rising momentum is even more terrifying than the price increase of pork that Liu Chang experienced.Almost in the international market, the price of beef is the same every day.
