Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.
Chapter 446 New Questions
It is actually very difficult to interfere in John Bull's family affairs since they are in cahoots with Rogue Eagle.
But now, because of the Suez Canal incident, I want to turn the tables and sit firmly on the throne, so naturally I hope to completely trample the former king under my feet so that he cannot struggle.
Through the mist of history, Ren Zhong has the vision of several decades to look at this matter from the beginning, so when John Bull is in trouble now, he does not follow suit and step on the king of the previous generation to make him die faster.
Instead, he wanted to see if he could give them a break and at the same time plant a thorn between the two generations of kings.
The rogue Eagle's move of kicking someone when he's down has, at least in the eyes of contemporary John Bull politicians, left a sore spot. As for how deep the damage is, it depends on how much of a contrast the rogue Eagle's next actions will be to their traditional perceptions.
Just as Harold could not imagine that the rogue eagle would sell off the pound at John Bull Finance's most critical moment, once this impossible thing happened, the rift would be irreparable.
Ambassador Jin passed this information to Harold, not to force Harold to do anything now, but to give him a spoiler before it happened, and easily completed a real conspiracy of Amomum villosum pig heart.
Because he was sure that even if he told Harold about this now, Harold would not be able to stop it from happening.
The Suez Canal is extremely important. John Bull and Gaul have always worked together to control the energy supply of the entire European continent and the exchange of goods between the East and the West. The fees collected from tolls are just pocket money. The most important thing is that they control the entire trade throat between the East and the West.
For the University of Tokyo, it was impossible for this vital point to be controlled by itself, and it would not fall into the hands of the Pharaoh Empire which had just gained independence not long ago.
Instead, it could only fall into the hands of the stronger Big Bear and Rogue Eagle, which would make them even more arrogant.
If they can be prevented from achieving this goal without loss, and at the same time alienate the relationships within the Rogue Eagles, it will be a win-win for Todai.
What's more, Qianlong Project had foresight on this matter. When they took profits and went long, they were helping John Bull and making money at the same time. It was a win-win situation, or even a win twice!
It is still unknown how the meeting between Ambassador Jin and Harold went, but after the dinner, Harold went home and did not sleep all night.
Next, many heavyweight congressmen began to comment on the so-called new bill that George and his colleagues had provoked, but it was difficult to put it to a vote.
It seems to be a normal phenomenon in John Bull's House of Commons, where a bill can be argued over for several years without any result.
But Ambassador Kim got the signal.
Harold's expectations for the Rogue Eagle were shaken, and he was trying to drag the matter out, waiting to cash in on some of the words the cash ambassador had said.
The special envoy returned to Dongda with Ambassador Jin's feedback. After being passed around several times, the information also reached the ears of Ding Wei and Ren Zhong.
"Old Ding, you can relax for now. Continue to boldly open up new plantations." Ren Zhong said with a smile, "Since we have stabbed those grain capitalists, how can they behave if we don't stab them deeper?"
"But we need to make some adjustments to our strategy. We will still be in charge of growing grain, but I think we need to change our strategy for selling grain. We should talk to the Rothschild family and ask EIC to reach a strategic cooperation with LD in the sales of grain and its processed products. We can also bring Barclays over to grow bigger and stronger together and strive to become the world's largest grain supply company."
"If we don't take action, they won't be able to succeed." Ren Zhong didn't expect his opponent to make a move so quickly, and he had to adjust his original strategy of hiding completely in the back.
I didn't expect that the John Bull, the sun never sets, couldn't hold on any longer. Without a pull, it really sank.
"I didn't expect that the internal struggles of the great powers are not much different from those outside," Ding Wei sighed, but he didn't feel sorry. "After we take this opportunity to get on board, the grain business may reach the break-even point faster. It's just that it feels a bit weird to cooperate with the great powers like this."
"There is no permanent friendship between countries, only permanent interests in the future. Old Ding, if you are in your position, you should not consider too much emotion, but the interests of Dongda. When the new king is cleaning up the world, it is a good thing for the developing Dongda to help the old king not to die too quickly. Rising peacefully in development is the only way for everyone to grow and develop in the future. The way of growing by war and plunder has completely died in World War II."
"In the future, we must not only have sufficient military force to protect ourselves, but also have continuous technological innovation to lead the world."
"Food, energy, industrial products, these are the most important things in this world, and we cannot lack any of them."
The origin of hybridization technology can be traced back to the 19th century when Mendel began his research on animal and plant hybridization in the garden of a monastery.
Unlike other priests who are keen on preaching and solving ideological confusions, this priest in the monastery is fascinated by science!
Mendel conducted continuous hybridization experiments by planting plants such as peas, pumpkins, mirabilis jalapa, hawkweed, strawberries and corn. Through these experiments, Mendel brilliantly deduced the basic principles of genetics: the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.
However, due to his identity as a pastor, this master who had made great achievements in establishing a school of thought had his achievements buried in the long river of history for more than 30 years before they saw the light of day again.
Before the hybridization technology research was carried out at the University of Tokyo, no one had used these genetic research works to screen excellent grain varieties.
Before the University of Tokyo promoted hybridization technology, no one had thought that hybridization technology had the potential to solve the world's food shortage.
Of course, everyone knows the answer now. Whether it is Jiaji or Bangui, there have been several teams searching for various wild grains and cereals in the Amazon and Latin America to carry out hybridization and screening of new varieties. However, their results are much slower than those of Dongda. So far, they have only obtained some new varieties with certain potential, but they are still far from the excellent varieties of Dongda that can stably produce more than double or even higher yields than the original varieties.
There is no shortcut in the research of hybridization technology. The reason why Dongda has made rapid progress is that Ren Zhong has read through a large amount of research materials and found in advance those wild varieties that may be used to cultivate excellent offspring for the team. This is to do this from a God's perspective, so in just a few years, the first generation of original seed varieties with stable production increases were produced. These are the first generation of seeds that are continuously reproduced in a strictly confidential process. For outside users, they can only get hybrid seeds generated after the hybridization of the first generation of seed sources.
It is almost impossible to reversely deduce the source of the first generation of original planting sites.
So since Jiaji's competitors are making moves behind the scenes, we can only discredit them from the perspective of food safety.
Of course, their approach won't be so direct.
Instead, it is very insidious to raise some sharp questions and research directions about the safety of hybrid varieties in such an authoritative scientific journal as Nature. There is indeed no research in these fields now, or in Ren Zhong's eyes, these are things that have been completely proven to be safe in the main world, and there is no need to conduct research in this area.
Therefore, these research gaps became areas for Jiaji's researchers to attack. The various safety issues they raised were obviously some preliminary topics and questionable conjectures, but after being summarized and published in newspapers by competitors and exaggerated in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, the food safety of these hybrid rice and hybrid wheat suddenly became the type of popular science articles that were seriously questioned by scientists!
With the support of their advertising fees, they began to promote the product to the public continuously!
Unlike the initial small-scale trials, this time the three monopoly leaders joined forces to contribute money and resources to launch a comprehensive attack. In the mainstream media of the major powers, food produced by hybrid technology suddenly became very unsafe.
As the saying goes, "When one thing floats, the other does." After seeing that John Bull's family's provocation had reached a stalemate, George and his men chose to launch new offensives in other areas. Ren Zhong had no good solution for the attacks launched in this regard. After all, the University of Tokyo had little control over the current global public opinion.
The University of Tokyo has almost no influence on the mainstream newspapers and magazines of the major powers.
"Brother Ren, this is going to cut off the sales of the crops grown by our hybrid technology to the Western powers." Ding Wei's side was already sensitive, and now the mainstream media of the powers began to launch a formal public opinion attack. How could he not know what his opponent wanted to do.
"Old Ding, our work in this area does have some flaws, but don't panic. Continue to follow the established plan to increase food production capacity first. I'll think of a way to deal with this matter later," Ren Zhong said solemnly. "But I don't think it's a big problem. The group we are initially targeting is not mainly the food supply of the great powers. For these great powers, their domestic food supply has long been guaranteed. We can't shake this fundamental in the short term, so let's put it aside for now."
"We are trying to solve the hunger problem in Asia, Africa and Latin America. For the people in these places, being able to fill their stomachs is something they are thankful for. They are not so picky. To put it bluntly, most of them can barely read. The smear campaign by our competitors cannot penetrate these places."
This is the biggest flaw of Jiaji and his men. In these truly hungry places in Asia, Africa and Latin America, they have no choice at all. All they need is cheap and sufficient food, no matter what it is, as long as it can fill their stomachs.
"But we can't always be so passive," Ding Wei said distressedly, "Brother Ren, you have a quick mind and many ideas. See if there is any way we can fight back against this evil trend."
"Let me think about this. To be honest, our influence on world public opinion is far from established. Next, we should take action to seize the initiative in the public opinion battlefield."
The control over world public opinion is not formed overnight. Even a hidden giant like the Rothschild family took nearly a hundred years to gradually form their own complex relationships with the major powers. These relationships include shares and board seats in some mainstream newspapers, giving them a strong influence on public opinion.
Although Rothschild and Dongda are now cooperating tacitly in the field of minerals, that is something they both know tacitly. There is no friendship that can push them to clash with the power behind the three major global giants such as Jiaji in public opinion.
Even if we want to bring a European family like the Rothschild into a New World grain giant, this is only the next step. Now this matter has not yet taken shape. It is still unknown whether hybrid grain varieties will impact the international grain market in the future.
Ren Zhong returned to the main world. After studying the possible strategies at hand, he found that he did not have many cards to use.
He had to gather the Dragon and the Phoenix together to discuss countermeasures, but of course it was not that straightforward.
However, Liang Xiaofeng is in charge of overseas business in Heifei, and Zhao Lidong is in charge of Hong Kong Island respectively. The only talented person who can be called upon at any time in Jincheng is Wang Wenhui.
"Mr. Ren, the problem you mentioned is a bit unsolvable. You don't even have any media tools at your disposal. Are you kidding me if you want to change the direction of public opinion?" Wang Wenhui thought hard for a while and said with a bitter face, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your assumption is too difficult."
"There are no newspapers, magazines or media tools, and there is no Internet. But what about television? Although television and radio are on the decline, there are still many people who learn about the world through television."
Wang Wenhui seemed to be talking to himself. The boss had problems, and as his right-hand man, he couldn't solve anything. This had a certain impact on his image as a member of the senior management team. Now, with the development of these businesses under Ren Zhong, Wang Wenhui and his team were also doing better.
He has truly become a manager of a company with sales of over 100 million yuan and is a member of the white-collar class with an annual salary of over one million yuan.
Although they didn't say it in their hearts, everyone knew that the success of these companies came from Ren Zhong's sales work through unknown channels, which injected a large amount of R&D funds into the company and continuously launched new products.
"It's not that there is nothing, we still have television." Ren Zhong listened to Wang Wenhui's example and suddenly had an idea.
Television media does still exist.
Today’s satellite TV is the best at home!
After a period of networking, Liangjian World has now completed global satellite TV broadcasting coverage. Liangjian World's mainstream television media are now basically renting Dongda's satellite TV channels to conduct business.
Moreover, overseas, the TV has two powerful allies, Mr. Chen and Mr. Situ, who own cable TV networks and satellite coverage networks throughout Asia-Pacific!
Using television media to fight back seems to be a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack, but if we use television media, what method is suitable for fighting back?
It is absolutely not okay to read a long paper! Even if it is one of our own people, if you really do that, you will ruin a TV channel in two days. (End of this chapter)
