"The market for yellow beef is very popular now, so not only our family, but also many other families in Xiangnan have raised scalpers. Without any effort, they can also earn a lot of income. The calf of this scalper was bought from Xiangnan Agricultural Company. Including those muntjacs, they were all bought from Xiangnan Agricultural Company."

When Liu Chang came to the reservoir, Liu Chang's father was taking a few children to see the people invited to break down beef and pork. Liu Chang's mother's concern did not happen. Liu Chang's father killed cows and pigs just to give his family food, and he was not ready to sell them at all.

Their family is not short of money now. In the past, if they had left a scalper at home, they would definitely be reluctant to leave it. But now, Liu Chang's father is not heartbroken at all. Although this scalper is worth a lot of money, there are so many children at home, so they have to eat more meat to grow well.

The person who invited people was to help slaughter and decompose it, and then calculate the money by how much it cost to kill one. The family will be very lively this year. Liu Chang's brother and sister, as well as their children, will celebrate the New Year at home. With the addition of the happy event of children, Liu Chang's father would do this. In addition to pigs and cows, he will also kill a sheep, and eat the chickens at any time and kill them at any time.

"Uh... I don't know about this. But we have seen scalpers everywhere here recently. It's true. I thought it was just a few people who raised it, and they bought it. Isn't this scalper for a long period? Can you make money by raising it?"

There are a lot of scalpers nearby, and Liu Chang has seen this. The scalpers are gentle and not aggressive than buffaloes, so Liu Chang didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, because the market for scalpers is relatively good, there are more cattle raising. Anyway, there is no need to spend any effort on this, just go to the mountain to eat grass every day.

"Raising cattle is much better than raising pigs. It is easy to take care of it and feed grass. It will not pollute the environment. There are also those goats. It is not as good as raising pigs. It is too polluted and you have to feed various feeds. Recently, the city has been checking, and now no one is raising pigs around here."

Liu Chang's family has not raised many pigs here and has its own processing system and recycling, so it has not been investigated. Several other large pig farms are now locked up because they are too polluted. This is now a high-tech park, and it is definitely not good to be influenced by the smell of pig shit every day.

There are not so many worries about cattle and sheep, and they are all free-range here. Cattle and sheep will not feed them like other places. In addition, the number of breeding is much smaller than that of pigs, so they are not investigated. Anyone with some open space nearby will raise some, and then circle around outside and look at it, and then guard it in a fork room.

"We have been locked up a lot of pig farms? Why haven't I heard of this news? When did it happen?"

Liu Chang didn't pay much attention to this issue. Now, after hearing his father's talk about it, Liu Chang felt that some things must be cared for. It seems that his previous life was around these years, and many places were not raised for pigs. Then, when he encountered swine fever, the second senior brother suddenly became a hot commodity.

However, Liu Chang did not notice when, nor did he know when the rectification in his hometown began. He did not expect that he would start to rectify these things now. This is the focus and means many business opportunities.

"Well, it is said that there are only a few bases of Xiangnan Agricultural Company in Xiangnan City that have farms, because the facilities there are very good, and they are far away from cities and residential areas. Other private farms are closed, and no one in the surrounding villagers' homes now raise pigs. Unless there may be some people raising pigs in some mountainous areas, they will not be given any other place."

Liu Chang's father replied that he was a little confused about some things, why didn't even raise pigs? For many people, a pig is of great value and can also subsidize some household income. But now that pigs are not raised, how can you eat pork in the future? Those pigs are raised by big capital, and then they will decide the price of the pork.

He didn't tell Liu Chang this because Liu Chang is also a part of the big capital. The Liu family doesn't have to worry about not being able to afford pork, but others may not be sure. Liu Chang shouldn't cheat the people. In this way, it's because the above policies are a little problem.

This phenomenon is not rare. Anyway, as long as the leader says, the people below will directly fit the same size in order to please the leader. Their position is more important. No one will worry about how the people live. No one will find a way to have the best of both worlds. They just want to please the leader.

"Fortunately, the seeds are much cheaper now, and there are many good seeds that can make some pocket money. The government's seed companies have launched a lot of seeds, and your Xiangnan agriculture also has a lot of good seeds. Otherwise, the people's lives will not be able to live."

Nowadays, farmers need to plant something, and seeds are very important. In the past, they kept their own seeds and cultivated them next year. The quality of these seeds is average and the yield is not high. If you want to buy seeds, ordinary seeds have poor quality and often have fake seeds. Good seeds have too high prices. It is said that those seeds imported from abroad can only be planted once, and they cannot be kept.

What Liu Chang's father didn't know was that good varieties are an important strategic resource for increasing crop yields and maintaining food security. The competition for good varieties among countries is also very fierce. Various measures are taken to protect the country's germplasm resources from loss and to obtain the best possible seed resources of opponents.

This is why the export of high-quality rice and high-quality soybean varieties in China has been banned in recent years. The United States, which now has absolute control over the entire soybean industry, is also a seed problem. As the origin of soybeans, the country owns more than 90% of the world's wild soybean varieties. It used to truly control the soybean varieties, but it was not the country, but the United States.

But now, not only soybeans, but also many other seeds in China. The United States is the stealer, and the stealer has already counterattacked. In order to catch up with the other party in the seeds, the country has spent a lot of effort and even had other means.

A "Dabeinong" incident that happened in his previous life shocked the domestic agricultural community. Liu Chang remembered this incident very clearly and even went to learn more about it in detail.

In December 2013, Mo Hailong, head of Dabeinong International Business, was accused of stealing American genetically modified corn seeds and was arrested by the United States. At the same time, there were five other Dabeinong employees. In July of the following year, Mo Yun, the wife of Shao Genhu, chairman of Dabeinong Group, was arrested in Los Angeles, the United States.

In 2016, Mo Hailong pleaded guilty in the United States, admitting that he had been involved in the plan to steal trade secrets from DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto, and was sentenced to 36 months in prison.

Why did Dabeinong take such a great risk to steal the seeds of competitors? This is because seeds are the core of competition in agricultural development. It can be said that whoever grasps the seeds will master the commanding heights of the market and industry. Seeds are the first strategic resource of agricultural production and contain huge commercial interests.

The indictment of the Mid Court shows that the theft incident caused losses of US$30 million to US$40 million to these seed companies in the United States. This is why seed companies are willing to invest huge amounts of money in research and development, and even use illegal means to obtain high-quality germplasm resources.

As the link with the highest profit margin in the agricultural industrial chain, seeds support a huge market and industry. Agriculture itself is a weak industry and requires strong support and subsidies from the state, but the seed industry is a high-profit industry.

At present, the seed industry is highly market-oriented, internationalized, privatized, and has formed an oligopoly. Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta, Bayer, Dow and other companies account for more than 60% of the entire market. These multinational giants seize monopoly profits, and behind the purchase of the vast number of farmers who rely on subsidies to survive.

The seeds of these commercial companies can only be planted for one season and cannot be kept. They must purchase seeds from the company in the second year. International large agricultural breeding companies control high-quality seeds from major crops, which is itself a threat to national security. International seed companies can use this advantage to control a certain agricultural industry in a country.

For example, Argentina has encountered such a problem. Argentina not only has a powerful football team called the Pampas Eagles, but also the third largest genetically modified farmer in the world, and this can be said to be thanks to Monsanto.

In 1996, Argentina issued a license to Monsanto's anti-Roundup genetically modified soybeans. At that time, Argentina was facing the dilemma of capital outflow and economic recession. Large-scale soybean cultivation for exports could create foreign exchange, so it received support from the government and was quickly promoted by the genetically modified soybeans.

Monsanto did not register patents in Argentina, did not charge patent fees, and supplied seeds at very low prices. Monsanto soon monopolized the soybean seed market in Argentina and also broke most Argentine seed companies.

Around 2000, Monsanto changed his face and wanted to charge high patent fees for Argentine farmers, but the Argentine government was unwilling to compromise. Monsanto threatened to evacuate Argentina. Once Monsanto evacuated, the entire genetically modified soybean cultivation in Argentina will be in danger and the seed industry will be unsustainable.

However, Monsanto did not leave Argentina and announced at the end of 2004 that it would charge European buyers what it believed South American farmers should pay. Since then, Monsanto also litigated to prevent Argentina from exporting soybeans to the EU. Argentina lost control of the soybean industry.

Monsanto has absolute control over genetically modified soybeans, and he is also a complete thief. In April 2000, Monsanto discovered that some kind of wild soybean originated from the country contained a genetic marker that led to high yield traits. Then he applied for gene patents in 101 countries around the world, making billions of dollars in profits every year, and my country also had to pay patent fees.

In 1995, the country became a soybean importer. Now, the domestic import volume has reached 93 million tons, with a 90% dependence on foreign countries. The country has paid a heavy price for the germplasm resources it once lost. In fact, it is one of the countries with the most serious loss of germplasm resources.

In addition to soybeans, there are other resources, such as New Zealand kiwi is known to be synonymous with high-end fruits. New Zealand kiwi accounts for more than one-third of the world market, but its domestic and international market share has shrunk significantly.

But what many people don’t know is that New Zealand’s kiwi fruit was stolen from China. Now, the New Zealand kiwi fruit that has returned to its "hometown" is 10 times more expensive than domestic kiwi fruit. In order to maintain and improve the quality of kiwi fruit, New Zealand is still collecting wild kiwi fruit resources in China.

"There will be more and more good seeds in the future, and they will be better and better."

Liu Chang thought for a while and replied that the seed plan of Xiangnan Agricultural Company was launched when Xiangnan Agricultural was established. Over the years, Xiangnan Agricultural has a large number of excellent seeds in its hands. Compared with Monsanto's monopoly companies, Xiangnan Agricultural's seed market share is not much worse.

More importantly, Xiangnan agriculture has focused a lot on genetically modified seeds. In recent years, due to Liu Chang's previous arrangements, various soft media, and news reports, they have promoted the harm of genetically modified seeds, and Haoyouduo chain supermarkets even directly resisted the entry of genetically modified agricultural products, which has put genetically modified technology under greater restrictions than in previous lives.

Whether at home or abroad, genetically modified products are the targets of boycott, and even feed and processing oil are resisted. However, Xiangnan agriculture only takes the path of improving seeds, and improves yield and quality in the original seeds in various places.

GMO technology is also developing in southern Hunan, but in addition to part of the research, the other part of all seeds is exported abroad. These things are not practical at home and in China. Is there any problem with GMO? Liu Chang has not received enough information to prove it now, but this does not prevent him from using this.

Whether it is Monsanto or Bayer, they are old-fashioned large companies. Xiangnan Agriculture still has a long way to go to defeat them. It is normal to use some means. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and others have never been kind to the country.

In the past, these people took a lot of detours in China. Those people regarded foreigners as their own fathers, thinking that foreigners would send charity to help them, but never thought that these foreigners had never been better, and they were all very poisonous.

Unfortunately, many people still don’t understand this truth. They treat foreigners as their own fathers, and others give some sweetness, but they don’t even know where their ancestors are. What’s even more hateful is that these people help their foreign fathers harm the country. There are many such things, and they happen every year, but unfortunately Liu Chang can’t control so many.

He just has some money, and he really can't control what others do. But he tries to change everything around him. For example, the seed problem now, Xiangnan Agriculture has really invested a lot in this area, otherwise Xiangnan Agriculture can earn more every year.

The rise of Xiangnan Agriculture is not so easy to walk on. Now those companies just haven't reacted, so they gave Xiangnan Agriculture a chance to rise. After all, no one expected that Xiangnan Agriculture would do bases everywhere in China to grow seeds.
