Chapter 797 Who wants to steal your business? I'm here to flip the table! 12,000 mu breeding base!
"Would you believe me if I said it was a fake?"
"940 kilograms per mu? Could it be that you had a brain fart and wrote soybeans instead of corn?"
"As human beings, we should understand a common sense fact: soybeans are a C3 crop, and their yield is inherently limited. Even under conditions of meticulous management and abundant water and fertilizer, it would be considered a miracle if the yield could reach 400 kilograms."
"But the report states that the company that developed Ora Gold 940 and Super Rice 2000 is Orange Biology."
Orange Biology, a subsidiary of Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology, may seem relatively unknown, but it has garnered significant attention overseas due to its headquarters and R&D center being located in Luzhou.
Previously, everyone wanted to know the purpose of Senlian Group in establishing this company, and now everyone knows.
The European and American netizens who were initially skeptical immediately shut up after verifying that the research and development institution of Ora Gold 940 and Super Rice 2000 was indeed Orange Biotechnology, which belongs to Senlian Group.
The reason is simple: Senlian Group has produced numerous scientific research achievements, and its track record is verifiable.
The fact that three Nobel laureates in Chemistry alone is not something that ordinary companies can easily rival. From the Deep Blue Battery to the Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine, and then to the Zhulong G1051 five-axis CNC machine tool and the Zhulong 3000 two-dimensional laser cutting machine, all of these prove that Senlian Group has a world-class R&D team.
Amid the skepticism from European and American netizens, there were also many opinions from scholars in the agricultural field.
Wilson, a lifetime fellow of the American Academy of Agricultural Sciences, published three long articles, stating bluntly: "The conversion of C3 crops to C4 is a pipe dream in the field of plant breeding. A yield of 940 kilograms per mu violates the basic laws of photosynthesis. If Orange Bio can prove this, I am willing to publicly apologize, but I know very well that it is absolutely impossible!"
In his view, if even Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Syngenta, and biological laboratories in Florida, Nebraska, and the University of California couldn't handle it, then Senlian Group certainly couldn't either.
The official account of the British journal Nature also reposted the controversy, adding the caption: "We look forward to Orange Bio providing reproducible experimental data."
Of course, Orange Bio has no shortage of supporters.
In Europe, America, Southeast Asia and South America, Senlian Group has a large number of users who use Orange phones with a series of apps such as Mimo, Pinbei, KuaiGo and KuaiRun Overseas Edition installed on them. Even the SLR cameras they use are products of DeepBlue Technology.
In the eyes of these people, Senlian Group is undoubtedly a technological mecca in Asia, leading the world's development time and time again.
"Have you forgotten how Xingyuan Technology took lithography machines from scratch to become a reality? They can even overcome the challenges of EUV light sources, so it doesn't seem impossible for them to change the photosynthetic pathway of crops."
“The energy density of Deep Blue batteries was initially criticized as being fabricated, but now Tesla, GM, BMW and Mercedes are all coming to us seeking cooperation.”
"Is it possible that the Forest Alliance is about to redefine humanity's understanding of crop yields?"
The reversal in overseas public opinion quickly reached China.
On Douyin, Kuaishou, and Toutiao, the voices are full of support.
"A bunch of damn bastards! Monsanto has been holding our seed industry hostage for decades, now it's our turn to strike!"
"Soybean seeds in the United States cost sixty yuan per kilogram. Soybean seeds alone cost three hundred yuan per acre. Add in fertilizer, pesticides, and labor, and you can't make any money at all!"
“If the yield of Ora Gold 940 can really reach 940 kilograms per mu, wouldn’t the economic value of one mu be three or four thousand yuan? That’s much more profitable than growing rice.”
"I trust Brother Sen, it's just that this production volume is too magical!"
"I heard that Orange Biotechnology is going to build a breeding base in Feixi, Luzhou. I don't know if they are hiring. I'm thinking of sending my dad there. He's in his early fifties, which is the age when he should be working hard."
“My mom works part-time as a delivery rider for Kuaipao. I told her that if she doesn’t make 200 yuan a day, I will disown her as my mother.”
"Did I eat too many mushrooms, or is the person upstairs playing with abstract concepts? I can understand every word, but I'm still completely confused."
“Have you ever thought about this? If the yield data for Ora Gold 940 soybeans is accurate, no matter it's Monsanto or DuPont Pioneer, they'll all have to kneel down and call them daddy.”
"I just checked on Lingxi Search, and the yield of soybeans in the Americas is only 250 kilograms per acre. Ora Gold 940 increases it by nearly three times. From now on, Orange Bio can make a fortune just by selling soybean seeds."
"Holy crap! I need to send out my resume even faster."
Netizens were discussing it animatedly.
In fact, they weren't wrong. Orange Biotechnology is indeed going to build a large-scale breeding base in Feixi, covering an area of 12,000 mu.
Chen Yansen made his request on April 29, and Meng Yuanzhi's document was delivered to Senlian Science and Technology Park on the 30th.
In terms of efficiency, the Luzhou Central Office is first-class.
But Han Jinheng was also partly to blame.
This planned breeding base is not a traditional farmland complex, but is initially divided into five functional areas according to different uses: a core breeding area, an intelligent planting demonstration area, an organic fertilizer production area, an agricultural machinery research and testing area, and a supporting scientific research and office cluster.
Drone inspections, sensor-based soil moisture monitoring, and MOSS algorithm-based regulation, combined with automated, large-scale planting methods.
Therefore, this recruitment is mainly aimed at technical talents from agricultural universities. Although there are positions for general planters, the number of openings is relatively limited.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the 30th that netizens found the corresponding position on the recruitment section of Orange Bio's official website and immediately submitted their resumes.
When recruiting, the various subsidiaries of Senlian Group usually publish job information on their official websites.
This ensures fairness and avoids personnel corruption.
This is why netizens stayed in front of their computers, constantly pressing F5 to refresh the page.
In 2015, apart from low-level jobs like Yunsu Express, Kuaipao Takeaway, and Orange Mobile Phone Factory, most jobs were seen by ordinary people as having treatment and benefits comparable to civil servants.
As for whether they can even get the chance, nobody cares.
Submit your resume first, just in case the interviewer is blind.
at the same time.
In a luxuriously decorated meeting room at Monsanto's headquarters in St. Louis, across the ocean.
Grant held a research report, his face dark throughout, and read through the information collected by the third-party intelligence agency word by word.
Super rice 2000, yielding 2000 kg per mu?
Ora Gold 940 soybeans, yield 940 kg per mu?
The content here looks like a joke no matter how you look at it.
Both the headquarters of the China National Agricultural Cooperative Association and Orange Biotechnology have made it clear that the yield data for Super Rice 2000 and Ora Gold 940 soybeans are absolutely genuine.
Forty years ago, Grant would most likely have scoffed at it.
But right now, especially since both of these C4 grain varieties were developed by Orange Biotechnology, he has no choice but to believe it.
But he knew very well that if the data was verified, Monsanto would fall from the ranks of the world's top agrochemical companies.
What does a soybean yield of 940 kilograms per mu (approximately 0.16 acres) mean?
Even taking into account the price drop caused by overcapacity, farmers' income per acre can at least double.
Grant had no doubt that anyone who dared to block the import of Ora Gold 940 soybean seeds would be stuffed into a meat grinder by millions of farmers.
Monsanto's darkest hour may be coming!
Not long after, the Brazilian Agricultural Association announced that it would introduce Ora Gold 940 seeds for trial planting. If successful, they would completely replace Monsanto's XtendFlex series of soybeans.
The landscape of the global seed industry is quietly changing.
At the same time, senior executives from DuPont Pioneer and Syngenta were also holding an emergency meeting to figure out how to deal with the impact of Orange Biotech on them.
The technological gap between 250 kg and 940 kg per mu is simply too large!
Orange Bio isn't trying to compete with them; they're trying to destroy everyone's livelihood!
