A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 261 Purchase of 1st Generation Technology
It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.
The second and third generations of ordinary grain seeds can still be used as crops, but their yields and drought and insect resistance are not strong.
If such grain seeds were shipped back to 1960, coupled with a variety of unfavorable factors such as natural disasters, lack of fertilizers and pesticides, grain production would not increase much. At most it would double, and the yield per mu would be only about 150 kilograms.
Therefore, if you want to increase production, you must use high-yield hybrid seeds, even genetically modified seeds. People are starving to death, so why do you care whether they are healthy or not?
But the disadvantage of hybrid seeds is that they cannot be bred, and one has to buy seeds for one season to plant one season, which is of no help in alleviating the disaster situation across the country.
However, it is obviously impossible for Lin Sanqi alone to travel back and forth between the two eras and transport seeds. This is a "pseudo-medical novel" but not a "farming novel". Has medical treatment become agricultural construction?
Therefore, the best way is to buy the entire hybridization technology, let the agricultural science experts in 1960 study the hybridization technology themselves, and then promote it on a large scale, so as to alleviate the domestic food shortage.
Lin Sanqi knew the course of history. The domestic food shortage was not a problem for just three years, but would last for the next 3 years.
Even after the reform and opening up, there are still many people in poor areas who cannot get enough food.
If the experts in 1960 could fully understand the hybridization technology and continue the research from generation to generation, perhaps in the future our country's hybridization technology would be far ahead of foreign countries, become a high-tech flagship product of our country, and be exported to earn foreign exchange.
You have to know that in 2023, domestic hybridization or genetic modification technology lags behind that of foreign countries.
After all, the contribution of Mr. Yuan Longping alone cannot match the research expenses of tens of billions of dollars spent by the entire foreign scientific research team every year.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi became more determined to purchase the "backward hybrid technology".
To be honest, when Ye Guoyong heard that Lin Sanqi wanted to purchase the first-generation hybrid corn technology, he was full of questions.
"Boss Lin, did I hear you correctly? You want to buy the first generation of hybrid corn technology? What's the use of this? Let me tell you, the yield of this first generation of corn is only 500 kilograms, which is not optimistic.
Now the third generation technology has generally reached an output of more than 1000 kilograms per mu, and 1500 kilograms and 2000 kilograms are not uncommon. The yield of the same piece of land is doubled. What do you want with the first generation technology? "
Yin Lianyi was also a little surprised. She was in charge of finance and knew that the company now had hundreds of millions of cash flow in its account, which meant that Lin Sanqi was not short of money at all.
Even if such a rich person suddenly becomes interested in agriculture, he will definitely introduce the most advanced technology.
Even a pig knows how big the difference is between 500 kg and 1000 kg.
Why do you need this backward technology? Are you getting rich and becoming arrogant? So I quickly tried to dissuade him:
"Yes, even if you want technology, you want high-end technology. Why do you want this 20-year-old technology?"
Lin Sanqi thought, I also want the third-generation technology. Who wouldn’t be envious of an output of 2000 kilograms per mu? But poor farmers in the Ming Tombs only have an output of more than 70 kilograms per mu.
But the third-generation technicians are making money from this, so why would they be willing to sell it?
Moreover, the technology is too advanced, and there is a "technological generation gap" here.
By 1960, agricultural experts of that era might not have failed to understand it, or even if they understood it, it would have been useless without the relevant instruments and equipment for experiments.
Therefore, even the most backward hybridization technology of this era was sufficient by 1960, and it was definitely black technology.
"It's like this, Mr. Ye. I don't want this technology for my own use, but to be used in poor areas. To be honest, the cost of buying seed grain once a year is still too high for poor people. They simply can't afford it."
Ye Guoyong thought, buying the third generation hybrid seeds would increase the cost of grain, but the yield would also be higher, so it would be a cost-effective purchase in the end. How could this young man not be able to do the math?
But how could he understand the pain in Lin Sanqi's heart?
"So I want to buy the first generation of hybrid technology. If I can produce my own crops, the cost will be reduced, and it can also benefit the poor, which can be regarded as a contribution to society."
Ye Guoyong still couldn't figure out Lin Sanqi's thinking, and suddenly he thought of another possibility.
"Boss Lin, you don't want to buy the first generation of hybrid technology to get started, and then set up a company and laboratory yourself to catch up with the third or even fourth generation technology, right?"
There’s a saying that goes, we’re not afraid of the second generation of rich people eating, drinking and having fun, but we’re afraid of them suddenly wanting to start a business.
Young people like to have wild ideas and do not conduct research before starting a project. They like to act on impulse and rush forward with money, thinking that money can solve everything. In the end, they suffer huge losses.
In Ye Guoyong's opinion, young people like Lin Sanqi just want to enter the seed industry, otherwise why would they buy the first generation of technology?
What about buying technology to serve the poor? As a businessman, Ye Guoyong doesn't believe a word of this saintly talk.
Older people tend to be more of a teacher, especially the enthusiastic fellows from Northeast China, so Ye Guoyong kindly advised:
"Boss Lin, if you want to join the agricultural project and make seed products, I advise you to think twice before you act. It's not that I'm afraid of competition, it's just that this business is really not profitable.
Not only is it not profitable, the initial investment is huge. For example, our Fengshou Seed Company spends one-third of its sales on research and development in a year. One instrument or one production line costs millions or even tens of millions. The investment is too huge. The huge investment is fine, but the key is that there are many related seed companies in China, and the competition is great. The high-end market is basically monopolized by foreign countries. So the food of agriculture is not good. Why do you young people do something else but agriculture? "
Yin Lianyi also nodded repeatedly, thinking that even if you said you wanted to grow medicinal herbs, it would be more reliable than growing crops.
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed and could only laugh, but he would not change the decision he had made in his mind.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for your reminder, but I have made up my mind. It doesn't matter if the money is wasted. Anyway, I have done my best."
Lin Sanqi's words were tragic and Ye Guoyong couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Where else in the country is so poor that even seeds have to use first-generation technology? If you really have a need, why not just buy the third-generation technology to produce more food?
"Mr. Ye, this is the case. I wonder if you can sell me a copy of your company's first-generation hybrid technology? If you can, let's talk about it. If you can't, I'll look for it at other seed companies or the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
"Sell it, it will definitely sell!"
Ye Guoyong thought to himself, it's really hard to persuade that damn ghost. Since you insist on buying it, there is no reason for Fengshou Seed Company not to make this unexpected fortune.
"But Boss Lin, please sit here for a while. I'm going to make a phone call to discuss this with the company's top management. Xiao Zhang, come and make tea for Boss Lin and this beautiful lady!"
"Mr. Ye, please feel free to do as you please. I'll just take a look first..."
More than ten minutes later, Ye Guoyong came back and said with a smile:
"Boss Lin, I've already reached an agreement with the company. We can sell you the first generation of hybrid corn technology. All the information can be given to you, even the experimental seeds. But the price is 500 million RMB, hehe..."
Ye Guoyong felt a little embarrassed.
I thought that this technology was 20 years old, and it was just copying some information from a computer and printing it out, and giving some corn seeds, but it cost 500 million yuan. I have to say that my company is too shady.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, wow, a scientific research result that countless scientific researchers spent countless funds and efforts on was sold for only 500 million yuan. This is too cheap.
According to Lin Panax notoginseng's standard, it's just the price of two or three wild ginsengs, just a drop in the bucket.
Of course, that's not how business works.
Because he suddenly thought that in 1960, except for corn seeds, there was a lack of all technology. Since the price was not expensive, why not take a package with you? So he proposed again:
"Boss Ye, besides corn seeds, your company also has wheat, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and this, isn't it vegetable seeds? I don't want your company's most advanced technology, I just want the first generation of technology. Can you give me a preferential package price?"
Ye Guoyong thought, this young man seems to be really crazy. He is determined to engage in agriculture and insists on using the most backward seed technology. He is preparing to suffer huge losses.
Without further persuasion, he made another call and gave a flat price of 18 million yuan for the first-generation hybrid technology of all 5000 varieties of Fengshou Company.
In the end, the two sides bargained and the deal was settled at 4000 million.
In addition, Fengshou Company also donated 5 tons of drought-resistant and insect-resistant hybrid corn seeds of Linsanqi, 5 tons of wheat seeds, and some vegetable seeds...
Fengshou Company made a huge profit from this deal. Their annual profit was less than 4000 million yuan, and the whole company was in an uproar.
Lin Sanqi did not lose out either. He took from the people and used it for the people. His thinking was slowly changing. He thought that since he had made so much money, he should give a little back to the country.
And there is another benefit to doing this, which is paying protection money.
As long as Lin Sanqi's existence is beneficial to the country and the people and can continue to bring the most advanced technology and materials to the country in 1960, no one will harm him, and even the officials are willing to cooperate with him.
By the same token, if someone can get a complete set of design drawings of a real five-axis machine tool, a 2023nm lithography machine, a fifth-generation fighter jet F-3, etc. from abroad in 35,
Do you think the country will arrest and shoot him like a spy, or treat him like an ancestor and feed him with good food and drink?
After coming out of the headquarters of Harvest Company, Yin Lianyi was still a little dizzy. She had originally planned to buy some food, but ended up buying a container of information and spending a full 4000 million yuan?
Just like dreaming.
"Lin Sanqi, do you know what you are doing? Are these techniques really useful?"
Lin Sanqi was very excited and said without turning his head:
"Whether in the past or now, for ordinary people, having enough food is always the first priority, and everything else is bullshit!!!" (End of this chapter)
