Chapter 796 Three Soybeans, the Best Gift! 2 Million New Employees?
On the eve of the end of April, at dusk, a convoy of Red Flag cars slowly drove into Senlian Science and Technology Park.
Once the car came to a stop, a middle-aged man dressed as an assistant got out first, quickly jogged over, and opened the right-hand rear door of the car.
Immediately afterwards, four men in suits with bulging waists marched in unison to protect the Hongqi car.
Meanwhile, the outermost patrol officers and members of the Anguo Association were all on high alert, glancing left and right to make sure they didn't miss a single blind spot in the surveillance.
With a "click" sound!
The car door opened with a click.
The next second, Han Jinheng practically jumped out of the car. He glanced at his surroundings, nodded slightly, and smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Yansen, Meng Yuanzhi, Wang Jin, and others took the initiative to go forward.
“Old Meng, the land you approved for Chen Yansen is still too small, which is hindering the development of Senlian Group.”
Han Jinheng smiled and said, half-jokingly.
“Mr. Han is right. I’ll look into it and allocate another adjacent piece of industrial land to Mr. Chen.”
Meng Yuanzhi quickly responded.
The reason he initially wanted Senlian Group to settle in Luzhou was simply because he was interested in their e-commerce and smartphone industries.
Who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, a few years later, under Chen Yansen's management, Senlian Group would become China's number one private giant and a well-known multinational corporation with industries covering multiple fields such as chips, lithography machines, machine tools, lithium batteries and home appliances.
Now, with the development of Ora Gold 940 and Super Rice 2000, it's as if Luzhou has been transformed into a gold mine.
He originally thought he could get a combination of Xiaomi and JD.com, but who would have thought that he would raise a "real dragon" without even realizing it.
In Luzhou, Senlian Group is a major taxpayer and a top technology company, which is why Meng Yuanzhi always attends any press conference held by Senlian Group.
The 430,000 square meters of land approved three years ago now seems rather small.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Meng, actually, there are still 30% of the office space in the science park that are idle. The area doesn't matter as long as it can attract talent."
Chen Yansen smiled and offered a comment to help Meng Yuanzhi.
"Could you introduce me to the key figures behind the Ora Gold 940? I'd also like to know who made the difference."
Han Jinheng smiled slightly and pointed to the research and development personnel behind Chen Yansen.
By this time, he had already read the verification report by Wang Jin and others, and knew that the Ora Gold 940 soybean yield of 940 kilograms per mu was definitely not fake.
As the head of the central department, no one understood the strategic significance of this product to China better than him.
The emergence of Ora Gold 940 will break the monopoly of Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, and Syngenta on high-quality seeds, and completely overturn the market landscape of the global agrochemical industry.
The supply of domestically produced soybean raw materials will gradually become abundant, and oil extraction enterprises that have long relied on imported soybeans will switch to domestically produced genetically modified soybeans in large numbers, significantly reducing import and transportation costs.
At the same time, ample raw materials will drive the oil processing industry to expand its capacity, increasing the market supply of soybean oil and potentially lowering its price.
In addition, the soybean product processing industry will be able to obtain stable and sufficient raw materials, breaking the previous limitation on soybean product production capacity caused by the limited supply of domestic soybeans. The output of various soybean products such as tofu and dried bean curd will increase, and the product categories will be further enriched.
Soybean meal, the residue after soybean crushing, is still one of the core raw materials for feed. Previously, the supply of soybean meal was greatly affected by the amount of imported soybeans, and the price fluctuated frequently.
With the mass production of Ora Gold 940 soybeans, soybean meal production will increase significantly, resulting in a substantial reduction in raw material costs and enhanced stability for the feed industry.
This will benefit the livestock and aquaculture industries, reduce breeding costs, promote the expansion of breeding scale, and in turn increase the market supply of end products such as meat, eggs, and aquatic products, making prices more favorable.
Once it becomes widespread, the livestock industry will undergo tremendous changes, with the number of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep being slaughtered increasing exponentially.
In the past, we ate meat occasionally; in the future, we'll eat meat as much as we want!
Moreover, Ora Gold 940 soybeans can generate more than $40 billion in economic value annually, with a potential industrial chain value of up to trillions of dollars.
Sun Jianing is a graduate student at Yanjing Agricultural University and the project leader for Super Rice 2000 and Ora Gold 940.
Guan Yujie is a doctoral student at Luzhou University of Science and Technology and a senior researcher in the gene programming group.
..."
Chen Yansen waved and gave a brief introduction to Sun Jianing and the others one by one.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Han Jinheng shook hands with each of them and expressed his gratitude.
"No, thank you, Mr. Han."
Sun Jianing and the others looked excited, grinned, and quickly responded.
They never expected that Han Jinheng would personally come to Luzhou for Ora Gold 940 soybeans.
"Come on, show me around."
After exchanging pleasantries, Han Jinheng pointed and said to Chen Yansen.
"Mr. Han, please come with me."
Chen Yansen walked to the left front, leading Han Jinheng and his group into the artificial climate chamber of Orange Biotechnology.
Without stopping along the way, we headed straight for the Ora Gold 940 soybean trial area.
When a field of golden soybean plants came into view, Han Jinheng stopped and looked down at a mature soybean plant that was right in front of him.
The plump pods were densely packed together; in sight, there were almost no pods with two soybeans, only pods with three, and they were twice the size of regular soybeans.
Under the soft light, it shimmered with a golden glow.
Han Jinheng plucked a bean pod. As soon as he touched it, he could clearly feel the plump shape of the bean. The pod shell was tough but not hard, and a slight squeeze produced a soft crackling sound.
"Are these bean pods strong enough to withstand mechanical harvesting?"
He looked up at Chen Yansen and asked.
“We have conducted special tests to adapt the Ora Gold 940 soybean pods to agricultural machinery. The pods of the Ora Gold 940 have been genetically optimized so that they will not crack on their own after maturity and can withstand the rubbing and threshing of combine harvesters. The loss rate is 8 percentage points lower than that of conventional soybeans.”
Chen Yansen answered calmly.
"Moreover, its plant height is controlled at around 110 centimeters, with thick stems, well-developed root system, and extremely strong resistance to lodging."
Sun Jianing, who was standing to the side, caught a glimpse of her boss's gaze and immediately received the signal, so she boldly added.
She knew very well that Chen Yansen was giving her a chance to appear in public, and she was naturally filled with gratitude.
In this life, all we really care about is fame and fortune.
Chen Yansen didn't care about this, but he wanted to fight for his subordinates, ensuring they received the bonuses and recognition they deserved.
After hearing this, Han Jinheng did not speak, but silently counted the number of pods and secretly examined the roots and branches of the soybeans to determine whether they were fake.
Five minutes later, he randomly selected a few more plants and secretly estimated the yield per plant, his face beaming with even more joy.
The yield data for Ora Gold 940 per acre is accurate!
Orange Biotech actually managed to transform C3 crops into C4 crops!
What shocked him most was that Super Rice 2000 was Orange Bio's first high-yield improved variety, but just a few months later, they developed C4 soybeans with three times the yield.
This indicates that Orange Bio has mastered a mature technology chain that can introduce high-yield genes from C4 crops into C3 crops.
In fact, such methods are no different from those of the Creator.
"I heard that you used the Morse algorithm model when developing the Ora Gold 940?"
Han Jinheng asked again.
In the past two or three years, the concepts of AI and AR have become increasingly popular. Google even released a Google Glass that can be controlled by voice to take photos, make video calls, determine direction, surf the Internet, process text messages and emails, etc. However, the market feedback was very poor. Even Google itself had to admit that the smart glasses plan was too ambitious and thus suspended the project.
However, Orange Biotech is probably the first company in China to use AI algorithm models to drive biotechnology development.
Is this reliable?
The thought of doubt had just arisen when he immediately suppressed it.
The Ora Gold 940 is right here, how could it be fake?
"The realization of C4 photosynthesis depends on the synergistic effect of a series of genes such as pepc and ppc. The Moss algorithm big model can integrate whole genome data and transcriptome data of C4 plants such as sorghum and maize, as well as the genome map of soybean, to quickly identify core C4 genes and cis-regulatory elements that are strongly related to photosynthetic efficiency."
In other words, it can quickly identify the core C4 genes that have the greatest impact on photosynthetic efficiency, as well as the regulatory components that work with these genes.
Furthermore, it can compare the genetic differences between C4 plants and soybeans, accurately identifying C4 gene fragments that will work in soybeans, saving researchers from wasting a lot of time on screening.
After Chen Yansen finished speaking the first half, seeing that Han Jinheng looked a little confused, he immediately switched to plain language.
He put it simply, but in fact, Moss's deep learning model can also help in designing optimal gene editing schemes, simulating editing effects to reduce blind spots, and predicting photosynthetic and yield traits in advance.
For example, by using AI algorithms such as convolutional neural networks and combining them with hyperspectral imaging technology, the growth status of genetically modified soybeans in the field can be monitored in real time.
For example, by capturing spectral images of leaves, AI can quickly analyze the differences in photosynthetic pigment content and leaf structure between soybeans with the C4 gene and ordinary soybeans, promptly identify trait defects caused by abnormal C4 gene expression, and help Sun Jianing and others adjust the planting conditions in the artificial climate chamber.
While others use "hoes" for research and development, Orange Biotechnology uses intelligent algorithms. The gap between the two is a full ten years.
"The security of the MOSS algorithm must be in place! I will have the Central Division coordinate with the National Security Department to help you establish a dedicated network protection system. We must not allow the core technology to be leaked."
A hint of approval flashed in Han Jinheng's eyes. He raised his hand and patted Chen Yansen on the shoulder, giving him a solemn instruction.
"The core data of the algorithm is stored using quantum encryption, and the computers of the R&D team are physically isolated, making them inaccessible from the outside network."
Chen Yansen replied casually.
He personally deployed the firewall for Senlian Group, so even the most skilled hacker would be exposed.
"Make a list and submit it. You all deserve academic honors and national science and technology awards."
Han Jinheng felt reassured and immediately expressed his opinion.
In his view, merit should be rewarded, with both honor and cash prizes.
"Thank you, Mr. Han," Chen Yansen replied immediately.
As they spoke, the group walked out of the artificial climate chamber.
Night has fallen, and the streetlights in the park have come on, outlining the overall shape of the science and technology park.
Han Jinheng looked up at the starry sky, then looked down at the three soybeans in his palm, and suddenly said, "This is the most precious gift I have ever received! I want to make the industrialization of C4 soybeans a strategic project, with Senlian Group as the lead unit, and there will be a series of preferential policies in the future."
In addition to special funds, there are also green channels for import and export customs clearance, support for overseas patent rights protection, and even the ability to coordinate military resources to help ensure the safety of your seed breeding base.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
The implication is that he would grant any wish, no matter what it may be.
"Mr. Han, I own Orange Sanitation Services Company and would like to take on all outsourced business."
Chen Yansen replied without hesitation.
Sanitation services?
Han Jinheng stood there stunned. He had imagined many possibilities, but he had never guessed this requirement. Even if Chen Yansen wanted to get involved in the military industry, he would not hesitate.
The influence and strategic value of C4 soybeans are simply too great!
But the other party only made a very small request.
"You're making me take the bullet for you."
Han Jinheng said meaningfully.
With over 1,300 counties across the country, the interest chains in each region are intricate and complex. It may seem simple for one company to grab this piece of meat and put it into the Senlian Group's bowl, but in reality, it is not easy.
But since the words have already been spoken, I can't go back on my word!
Han Jinheng stared at Chen Yansen for a full three seconds, trying to find even a hint of a joke on his face, but the other man's eyes were open and his tone was calm, clearly not a spur-of-the-moment thing.
Meng Yuanzhi, who was standing next to him, was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and almost swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Senlian Group is already a multinational technology giant, so why did Chen Yansen choose to focus on seemingly low-end businesses like sanitation instead of high-profit sectors such as military and energy?
"I'll have Li Qingsong notify you once I've coordinated things."
After careful consideration, Han Jinheng finally agreed to Chen Yansen's request.
A business worth billions of yuan a year might be troublesome for others, but for him, it's something he can finalize with just a few words.
Since Chen Yansen wants it, then let him have it.
"Thank you, Mr. Han." Chen Yansen thanked him and saw Han Jinheng and Meng Yuanzhi into the car.
For him, securing the contracting rights would allow him to take on more than 2 million sanitation workers nationwide, providing nearly a million more humanitarian workers a year.
It was a small amount, but Mr. Chen always believed in the principle that "even a mosquito's leg is meat," and he didn't mind at all.
Soon after, the taillights of the Hongqi convoy disappeared into the night.
Chen Yansen turned around and said to Sun Jianing, "Go back and rest early."
“Yes, boss!” Sun Jianing and Guan Yujie replied quickly.
...
...
The following morning, the agricultural cooperative headquarters announced the existence of Super Rice 2000 and Ora Gold 940 soybean varieties.
There's no need to hide this thing. First, it can't be kept secret, and second, since it's going to be sold, it'll have to be announced eventually.
But netizens' first reaction was, "How the hell is that possible!"
Soon, it went viral on YouTube, Facebook, and Mimo, and the discussion exploded instantly!
