Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 633, Something Happened

The factory's general meeting lasted almost an entire afternoon.

Fortunately, this meeting was just part of the Social Education Movement, and it only echoed what followed, not the rest of the movement.

The main focus is on addressing issues related to the factory leadership's work style and economic management.

The conference ended, and it was already time to leave work.

Next, the working group will conduct an investigation at the factory.

Wang Qingsong wasn't too worried, as he had never done anything outrageous other than studying.

Even when he was procuring supplies, he never made a profit from the difference between the price and the cost.

The factory also experienced a half-day production delay.

There were people complaining there, mainly the workshop directors and management.

Wang Qingsong shook his head.

Many of the things these people say now may become "handles" they use against them in the future.

……

I rode my bike back home.

Xiaomai isn't home; she's probably out playing with the kids in the courtyard across the street.

Wang Qingsong arrived home first, so naturally he was the one to prepare the food.

Sometimes when there are too many choices, you don't know what to eat.

The chef from Hong Kong prepared many dishes in the space, and they didn't get cold even when left there.

But deciding what to eat is indeed a headache.

Take out the crispy suckling pig and two servings of stir-fried vegetables, and just wait for the two of them to come back.

As for the source of the food, in his words, "You two just need to eat; you don't need to worry about where it comes from."

Explaining everything is just too tiring.

After setting out the food, he took out a book.

"Selected Works!"

These books of quotes and selections have been available for several years and have been bestsellers, so he would naturally buy a few.

He had been preparing for it for several years.

I'll memorize it whenever I have a spare moment.

The quotes aren't many, but he's already memorized them perfectly. In the future, when he encounters "special situations," he can simply find the right words to respond.

As long as it's not a substantial error, the problem shouldn't be too big.

This is for ordinary people.

Once you reach a certain level, these things become less useful.

Memorizing texts is a real ordeal.

Fortunately, he had gotten used to the high-intensity memorization he had done over the years.

"Brother! I'm hungry! Is dinner ready yet?"

Lost in thought, I heard my younger sister calling out and the sound of a bicycle coming from outside.

It's obvious that the two of them came back together.

The children played in the alley, and Liang Chunxiao would call them when she came back.

Then the two people parked their car and came in.

"The food is ready, you can eat now. Xiaomai, go get the rice."

Wang Qingsong said with a smile.

He then looked at Liang Chunxiao and his smile faded: "What's wrong?"

Because Liang Chunxiao's expression didn't seem very happy at this moment.

Liang Chunxiao put down her bag, sighed, looked outside, and said softly, "My dad has been suspended from his job."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong frowned.

He knew that many people had indeed been suspended from their posts at this meeting, but he didn't expect Han Youjun to do it so quickly.

This is not a good thing!
This isn't even the climax yet!
Then, frowning, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

Liang Chunxiao shook her head: "I don't know the specifics either; my aunt told me."

"What about your aunt?"

Wang Qingsong thought for a moment and then asked.

If it's because of Chen Suqin, then the situation isn't too serious; if it's not because of Chen Suqin, then the situation is very serious.

Liang Chunxiao shook her head: "Auntie is fine!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong frowned.

It’s over.

Things were more serious than he had imagined.

However, he knew that Han Youjun would be fine in the short term, but he was afraid that things would get worse later on.

He hadn't experienced it either, so he could only comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, your dad will be fine! It's just a temporary suspension. You have to believe in your dad."

He just hoped that nothing serious would happen in a few months!
Upon hearing this, Liang Chunxiao sighed, "There's nothing I can do to help right now!"

Then, as if remembering something, she bit her lip and said shyly to him, "Qingsong, I have good news for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong was taken aback.

She quickly asked, "You went for a checkup? How did it go? Are you pregnant?"

The two have been officially married for several months, and they officially received their marriage certificate last month.

However, she has not gotten pregnant yet.

Liang Chunxiao's period is almost a month late this month.

So I told her to go to the hospital this morning to get checked out.

That must be it.

really.

Liang Chunxiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am pregnant. The doctor said I'm almost two months along, but I haven't had any symptoms yet!"

"Great!"

Wang Qingsong was also overjoyed.

Then, realizing things were about to get chaotic, he said, "How about we don't go to work?"

Liang Chunxiao laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous! I'm only two months pregnant! Back in the countryside, many people would work in the fields and only go home to find a midwife when they felt they were about to give birth!"

Besides, if I stop going to work this early, I'll lose my job. There's no such thing as a long maternity leave! It's only 56 days.

Wang Qingsong was pondering these words.

indeed.

It's not normal for someone not to be at work this early.

"Brother, is your wife pregnant?"

Wheat brought in the rice and asked excitedly.

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded, "Yes! Your sister-in-law is pregnant."

"Yes, that's great. I have a nephew, I'll take him out to play from now on."

Wheat was overjoyed.

Wang Qingsong was speechless for a moment upon hearing this: "How do you know it's a boy? It could also be a girl!"

Xiaomai thought for a moment and said, "Everyone in the village says that when asking this question, you can't say 'girl,' you have to say 'boy,' otherwise people will be unhappy."

As he spoke, he placed his rice bowl on the table.

Wang Qingsong rubbed her head and laughed, "That's for other people. It's the same with Third Brother. He likes both boys and girls."

Seeing this, Liang Chunxiao asked, "Girls are fine too?"

Wang Qingsong turned his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I like girls too. Look at my sister, isn't she just as well-behaved and sensible? Okay, stop thinking about it and hurry up and eat. We can't let the child go hungry!"

Hearing this, Liang Chunxiao smiled.

The news of her pregnancy finally eased some of the somber atmosphere at home.

Fortunately, Liang Chunxiao had one good thing: she didn't experience much morning sickness.

Eating and drinking are normal.

However, he promised to make some soup every day from now on and try to eat lighter meals.

After the meal, Wang Qingsong took out some fruit, and the group ate some.

Liang Chunxiao then went to wash the dishes.

Meanwhile, Xiaomai took out her violin and started playing.

"Sailing the sea depends on the helmsman"

Wang Qingsong selected some revolutionary songs that Xiaomai could play later, and this was just one of them.

Two or three years have passed, and although Xiaomaila's playing may not be considered highly accomplished, it is already a fluent piece of music to the average listener.

Now that we've moved here, we're not afraid of being noisy anymore.

Every morning, Xiaomai plays the violin in her room.

When it's time for the Down to the Countryside Movement, we'll find a way to get him into the army.

Or directly with the unit's propaganda team.

At that time, every unit needed to have a propaganda team, and musicians with a clean family background were quite scarce.

He also calculated the time.

This year, Xiaomai will not be able to continue her studies. She will miss a few years of schooling and will eventually be able to attend sixth grade.

If given the opportunity in the next two years, she will graduate from high school in 75.

During that period, even when people went to the countryside, it was always in the suburbs.

It won't be too far.

As for Liang's eldest daughter and second daughter, he really couldn't persuade them anymore.

Mr. Liang was also a responsible father; he did not prevent the two girls from going to school just because they were not his biological children.

He stated frankly that he would sell everything he owned to ensure all his children could go to school.

For this, Liang's father gave him a long lecture.

This is actually a good thing.

But the timing is special!
Since things had already come to this point, Wang Qingsong didn't try to persuade him anymore and could only say that they would take it one step at a time.

Liang Chunxiao came back after washing the pots and pans.

Wang Qingsong then gave her the quotations.

Liang Chunxiao pouted: "Read it again! You know me, I'm not good at studying! I'm most afraid of this."

"Sweetie! Let's learn together!"

Liang Chunxiao sighed helplessly, "Alright! I'll carry it. We all come from different parts of the country, working for the same cause..."

Wang Qingsong was providing guidance from the sidelines.

After carrying the baby for a while, Liang Chunxiao suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, what should we name the child?"

Wang Qingsong was taken aback by these words, then laughed and said, "I'll take care of that!"

"Oh!"

Liang Chunxiao gave a soft "oh".

Wang Qingsong then went to memorize the five classic texts.

"Serve the People", "In Memory of Norman Bethune", "The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains", and so on.

These are the five texts that were memorized by the entire nation in later generations.

He naturally needs to be able to memorize.

……

The next day, Wang Qingsong went to work as usual. By this time, there was a sense of unease and paranoia in the workplace, especially among the management.

For ordinary people, this is naturally nothing.

Anyway, all they know is that a few leaders in the factory made mistakes and had problems with their ideological awareness.

Wang Qingsong just stood there watching silently.

After all, this working group isn't the main focus; the focus is on what happens at the end of this month and in August.

……

At noon, Wang Qingsong quietly left the place again.

Upon returning to Hong Kong Island, he immediately called Du Wanting.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Wan Ting, it's me!"

"Hmm, are you asking about Professor Chen?"

"Yes, how should I say it!"

"He's very interested in both things you gave me, after all, he's an agriculture professor, especially that genetically modified soybean thing. I've already made an appointment for you; he's at the university today, you can just go and see him."

Oh, by the way, I'll give you the number and address.

Wang Qingsong listened to the phone call and took notes.

"Okay, I'll head over there first."

After confirming, I hung up the phone and drove straight to the school.

It's ten kilometers from here.

In less than twenty minutes, he drove to the school, or rather, one of the schools.

This school was formed by the merger of several different schools.

Professor Chen was only at one of the schools.

Upon arriving at the location, I took out my mobile phone and made a call to the other party's landline.

Hello!

"Professor Chen! I am Wang Zixuan!"

"Oh, Mr. Wang, hello there!"

"Professor Chen, I'm at the school gate, where am I supposed to find you!"

Upon hearing this, the other party gave an address before hanging up.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong drove his car inside.

The security guard must have been notified; after asking a few questions, he let him in.

Tell him the exact location as well.

Wang Qingsong drove the car to an office building and got out.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang?"

As soon as I got off the bus, a young man came over and asked me a question respectfully.

"Thunder Monkey! That's me!"

"Oh, Mr. Wang, Mr. Lei Hou! Professor Chen asked me to meet you here."

Wang Qingsong nodded and said, "Okay, please lead the way!"

The other person nodded.

I took him to the fourth floor.

I knocked on the door of an office.

"Come in!"

The door opened, revealing an office inside.

A man in his fifties, dressed in a white research suit, sat at the desk. The room was air-conditioned.

"Professor Chen, Mr. Wang has arrived."

The other person nodded: "Thank you for your help. You can go ahead and get back to work!"

"Hey!"

The other party agreed and turned to leave.

The door closed, and Professor Chen had already left his desk and moved to the front.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. I never imagined that the person who invented the mobile phone was so young. Thank you for your contributions to education."

Wang Qingsong naturally shook hands with the other party.

He smiled and said, "Professor Chen, you flatter me. I can only say that I have done my bit of help."

Professor Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you're too modest. Please have a seat!"

He gestured briefly before leading the way to the coffee table on the side.

"Mr. Wang, would you like tea or coffee?"

Wang Qingsong glanced at the cup and, realizing he didn't have much time and that making tea would require brewing it, smiled and said, "Then let's have coffee! With sugar and milk."

Upon hearing this, the other person laughed heartily.

"When I first went to the United States, I couldn't get used to the bitter taste, so I had to drink more sugar and milk."

Then I started making him coffee.

However, the coffee wasn't served very quickly.

Wang Qingsong asked curiously, "Where is Mr. Chen's ancestral home? Is it Beijing? His accent sounds somewhat like it."

Professor Chen chuckled as he worked, “My ancestral home is Suzhou. Back then, the official language was Beijing dialect, so we all learned the official language. Doesn’t it sound like a Beijing accent? But Mr. Wang, I really can’t tell which region you’re from.”

You should be speaking Mandarin now, right? Your Mandarin is very standard!

Wang Qingsong suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this.

This dates back to the Qing Dynasty.

However, considering the other person's age, it's not surprising.

He then laughed and said, "Yes, it's called Mandarin now! Sometimes I need to go to the mainland to make purchases, so I've learned some Mandarin!"

He didn't know if the other party was trying to find out his background.

Naturally, not everything will be revealed.

Professor Chen smiled upon hearing this and brought over the brewed coffee.

Two servings in total.

"Mr. Wang, please try asking the question!"

Wang Qingsong naturally took a sip, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "Geisha Coffee?"

This is the Geisha that would later become famous.

Professor Chen was surprised to hear this: "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to know so much about coffee. This is a very niche coffee."

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Gold always shines eventually! This coffee comes from Ethiopia and has a floral aroma, tropical fruit notes, and a strong sweetness."

He awkwardly spoke while holding up information he had found in later generations.

Professor Chen was surprised upon hearing this, and nodded slightly: "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to know so much."

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "If Professor Chen wants to drink some, you can go to the second floor of our company. There is a coffee shop there that sells this kind of coffee beans."

Oh! Really?

Professor Chen was pleasantly surprised.

"Oh, yes!"

Wang Qingsong hummed in response, but he didn't have much time to chat with the other person right now.

He then asked, "Professor Chen, have you looked at the materials I had someone give you before?"

When it came to serious matters, the other party finally became serious.

"I've looked at the information you provided. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide, but according to the description, it is a very strong, non-selective herbicide, especially against annual broadleaf weeds that compete with crops."

However, this method should be used for a variety of grain and non-grain field crops, as well as non-agricultural areas that require comprehensive vegetation control.

However, it plays a role in regulating the growth of grains.

Wang Qingsong nodded: "Yes! We can already produce this kind of thing. I brought some samples with me, but what I want are genetically modified soybeans, as well as various other genetically modified products."

It is resistant to glyphosate.

Upon hearing this, the other party hesitated for a moment: "Some of the concepts you mentioned regarding genetically modified organisms are currently being researched in specialized laboratories in the United States."

In 1958, Matthew Mercerson and Franklin Starr confirmed the mechanism of DNA replication in the Mercerson-Starr experiment.

Later, Crick's team's research showed that the genetic code is composed of three bases arranged in a non-repeating manner, called a codon.

In 1961, Hal G. Corana, Robert W. Hawley, and Marshall Warren Nirenberg deciphered the genetic code formed by these codons.

We are still in the introductory stage when it comes to this type of topic.

Your information mentions that a resistance gene was cloned from petunias, and that the promoter control gene from the petunia plasmid was introduced into the soybean genome using particle-mediated transfer DNA technology, thereby breeding glyphosate-resistant soybean varieties.

Our team can't do that technology yet.

Wang Qingsong nodded in agreement: "I know, that's why I need your research. I can provide some relevant information. The research results can be used for your school's research and development, but for final commercialization, I need the ultimate ownership of the patent, as well as other related intellectual property rights."

However, you can enjoy 3% of future commercial revenue!

Upon hearing this, Professor Chen hesitated for a moment.

His hesitation wasn't about the profit split.

The question is whether or not one has the ability.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mr. Wang, if I may be frank, our team is not confident that we can meet your requirements at the moment. I'm afraid... your investment will be wasted."

If we can't figure it out, it'll be embarrassing!

It also affects reputation.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "It's alright! You don't need to worry about that. You just need to do the research. I'll give you $100 million in research funding every year."

As for how to transplant foreign genes into the DNA of a plant to give it a new characteristic, I will send you the relevant information later.

In fact, agricultural research doesn't require that much investment.

After all, it doesn't require a lot of equipment; there are only a few experimental fields around.

US$100 million is equivalent to HK$600 million, which is a huge sum of money.

The most important technique for this research is gene transplantation, a technique that was already well-known in 1983.

He could find the relevant documents, but they were all expired patents.

It's important to know that many genetically modified species in later generations have gone through several generations; soybeans, for example, seem to be in their fifth or sixth generation.

This technology doesn't seem to exist in China.

After saying that, he just watched quietly.

Professor Chen thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay! We will set up a special research lab to develop these things for you."

Actually, what he cared about more was the technology that Wang Qingsong mentioned.

As for how to transplant foreign genes into the DNA of a certain plant so that it can have a certain new characteristic.

This is the most important.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Then it'll be a pleasure to cooperate!"

"Okay, happy cooperation!"

The two have reached an agreement.

Wang Qingsong checked the time and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll have the company send over a special contract later."

"it is good!"

Professor Chen agreed.

Once the matter was settled, Wang Qingsong left the office.

As for other matters, Du Wanting will naturally take care of them.
