I can extract side effects

Anhui Province, Lu City.

Autumn plowing is approaching, and the Seed Street in the North District has ushered in another year's peak season.

On the less than 200-meter-long street, there are 30 to 40 seed shops crowded one after another.

Reporter Xiao Wang was walking on the street, feeling a little nervous, and couldn't help but look at his companions around him.

This middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life looked very leisurely, looking around with a relaxed face, as if he was really traveling.

The middle-aged man's name is Li Dong, and he is a rights defender of the Syngenta Group. His main job is to go to seed markets all over the country to investigate and collect evidence, and to crack down on criminals who infringe on the rights of seed decks.

Xiao Wang is an investigative reporter for the Agricultural Resources News. This time, he is following Li Dong to follow up on Syngenta's anti-counterfeiting and rights protection cases and collect first-hand information in order to report news and expose the whole story of corn seed production, processing and sales. Underground industry chain, see through the multiple root causes of seed deck infringements that have been repeatedly prohibited.

The two traveled all the way from Suihua in Heilongjiang Province, Chifeng in Mongolian Province and other places, and came to the southern region for investigation. The next step is to go to Ili in Xinjiang Province. The entire journey has accumulated nearly 10,000 kilometers, which can be described as a long and difficult journey.

Due to the proliferation of decks in the seed market, which has almost suffocated industry innovation, the industry is increasingly worried that seeds will become the second chip that gets stuck.

So there was a "turnaround of the seed industry" proposed by the central government at the end of last year. Since then, the central government has held meetings and issued documents, demanding to "strengthen the national seed industry". The protection of intellectual property rights is to protect innovation, and the voice of cracking down on the infringement of seed decks has grown. Instantly swept the entire industry.

As a giant in the domestic seed industry, Syngenta has responded to the call of the country without hesitation, firmly said 'no' to infringement, and launched a series of anti-counterfeiting operations since the beginning of the year.

Li Dong has worked for many years and is very familiar with the seed market. Xiao Wang followed him all the way, which opened his eyes and saved a lot of news materials.

The two of them have been running around for the past few days, and they have been tanned and shiny, and their clothes are also dusty and very simple, and they are almost similar to pretending to be farmers.

Strolling and strolling all the way, Li Dong quickly found the target.

He walked into a seed store, picked and selected the shelves for a long time, and finally picked up a bag of corn seeds, with a few big characters "Heyu 187" written on it.

This is the benchmark variety of the seed industry under Syngenta, but the bag in his hand is not genuine, but a fake one.

Similar fakes have been flooding the market. He has seen a lot and has rich experience. He can tell the real ones from the first hand.

The next step is the key link of buying and formulating.

Xiao Wang followed behind, pretending to be calm, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He couldn't help but not be nervous, because when he was inspecting in the north, he and Li Dong were often spotted by the shopkeepers, and there were almost accidents a few times.

He clearly remembered that it was his first time working as an undercover investigative reporter in a seed shop in SH City, Heilongjiang Province, and he was excited and nervous.

At that time, I had already paid the money, and I was about to pick up the goods, but the shopkeeper suddenly saw through, and was thrown out by a few big men on the spot, and the other party said harshly: Come again next time, break three legs!

The two left in embarrassment, Xiao Wang had already forgotten how to get back, leaving only an impression in his heart, how exciting!

Later, he ran wildly on this thrilling road of rights protection, and all the way went to the dark.

I hope this time it will go well and nothing will happen, he thought in his heart, put his right hand into his pocket, and quietly turned on the recorder.

Li Dong took the bag of corn seeds and walked up to the female shopkeeper: "Madam, how much is this bag of seeds?"

The female shopkeeper took a look and offered without hesitation: "80 yuan."

Li Dong smiled and said, "Do you have other brands here?"

The female shopkeeper flicked her fingers on the phone without raising her head and said, "The goods are all in the shop."

Li Dong still wants to work harder: "Do you have Dade 216 and Yuanke 105? I heard that they are both brands of Syngenta. I want to buy both and try which one is better."

The female shopkeeper raised her head and said with some hesitation: "We usually sell a lot of Heyu 187 here. The two you mentioned sell less, and there is no stock in the store. Do you want it? If you want it, we can go to the warehouse to get it."

Li Dong was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Of course I want it. When can you give it to me in the afternoon? We came from other places, so we have to take the high-speed train back at night."

The female shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, but you have to pay a deposit."

"Of course." Li Dong weighed the bag of seeds in his hand: "I want two bags of this one, and one bag for the other two. Is it also the price?"

"That's right." The female shopkeeper pointed to the QR code on the cash register: "Scan the code to pay here."

Seeing the message on WeChat that the money had arrived, she immediately got up to pick up the goods.

"Wait a moment!"

A sudden voice interrupted the female shopkeeper's movements.

A fat middle-aged man suddenly appeared from behind the container, he stared at the two of them, kept looking up and down, with a surprised expression on his face.

Oops, things are out.

This thought flashed through the minds of both of them at the same time, they gave each other winks, and they were ready to turn their faces and run away almost instantly.

Li Dong was mmp in his heart, but he asked with a smile on his face: "You are the boss, what's the matter?"

The boss hurried forward, with a smile on his face and said: "The bag of seeds in your hand is a sample. It has been stored for a long time, and the quality is not very good. We will get you a new bag."

Without any explanation, he took the corn seeds in Li Dong's hand, stuffed them into his pocket, then quickly rummaged through the cabinet, found two packets of seeds and handed them over.

"These two packs are the 'Heyu 187' you want to buy." He paused word by word, emphasizing the five words 'Heyu 187'.

"Also, Daedeok 216 and Yuanke 105 are temporarily out of stock here, so we won't sell them anymore." The boss hesitated and added.

Li Dong's heart sank. As soon as he got the two packets of seeds, he glanced at them and saw that they were genuine products, not the fake ones in his hand before.

It seems that the other party has seen through, and this store is afraid that it will return without success.

His complexion changed: "Just now the proprietress said that there are goods in stock, why don't your words count?"

The boss chuckled: "She is not familiar with the situation in the store, so she made a mistake."

Li Dong put the two packs of seeds in his hand on the shelf, and said angrily: "Then I won't buy these two packs, I will refund the money!"

The boss waved his hand, and the lady boss quickly took out her mobile phone and refunded the money.

Li Dong and Xiao Wang looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and walked quickly towards the gate.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Dong turned his head and said angrily: "Boss, what do you want to do?"

"Aren't you from Syngenta?"

"This..." Li Dong couldn't hold back immediately: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

The boss smiled and said, "If yes, how about we make a deal?"

"No?"

"Then why don't you go?"

Li Dong turned around and walked back: "What deal?"

"Hehe, don't worry, please answer my question first."

The boss asked curiously, "I've been wanting to ask the people from Syngenta to find out. By the way, do you really produce soybeans with a yield of 1,000 jin per mu?"

Li Dong smiled confidently: "That's still fake, it's been reported on the news."

"If I believed in the news, I wouldn't ask you to ask me in person. Media articles, especially official accounts, all speak like flowers. How many words can I believe?"

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Li Dong glanced at Xiao Wang, and as expected, he was embarrassed.

"Super soybeans really exist, I won't lie to you about that."

The boss looked suspicious: "Haven't you always been doing non-GMO crops? Corn is your strong point, but soybeans, isn't Eagle Country the strongest GMO variety?"

Li Dong puffed up his chest and said confidently: "That was before, since we cooperated with Sanqing Group to develop gene-edited crops, soybeans are the strongest in China."

"I have seen the experimental field of super soybean planting with my own eyes. It cannot be faked, and it will be harvested soon. The real data will come out soon. To tell you the truth, the yield per mu was the highest in the rapid planting workshop before. The actual yield still depends on the data of the experimental field, and I can’t say whether there is a thousand catties.”

The boss nodded: "What you said is reasonable, you are an honest person. Now I really believe that there is such a super soybean."

He suddenly smiled, rubbed his hands together and said, "Then when will the super soybean seeds be on the market? Do you think I can apply to be an authorized dealer?"

He became enthusiastic all of a sudden, and Li Dong couldn't react immediately: "No, aren't you selling fakes? Why do you suddenly want to be a regular dealer?"

The boss smiled and said: "You guys have such good seeds, why am I selling fakes? Real seeds can't be sold, and no one can make money, right? Besides, there are no fakes to sell in genetic seeds. It’s reasonable to wash your hands and go ashore to sell authentic products.”

Li Dong was immediately amused: "You're smart, in fact, we still have super corn, super rice, super peanuts, and a series of seeds, which will be spread across the board at that time. If you sell fake products again, you will have to pay for it."

When the boss heard it, his heart became hot and he became more anxious.

"That's great. We've chatted for so long, and we've made friends. I'm going to apply for a dealer..."

Li Dong smiled and interrupted him: "Boss, let's put aside whether you are friends or not. What about the deal you talked about?"

The boss waved his hand and said in a very grand manner: "What kind of deal, I'm joking with you. The main reason is that I am very familiar with the seed market and chatted with you very well, so I have some information to offer."

"By the way, you are here to crack down on counterfeiting and defend your rights. I can tell at a glance that you two outsiders are easily exposed, but I can tell you some facts so that you don't have to go all the way."

The boss talked incessantly, and introduced the underground industry chain of seed counterfeiting and infringement one by one, which shocked both of them.

"In fact, selling decks of infringing seeds is almost an open secret in the industry. The infringing seeds you find here may have their real source in a certain seed production field in Xinjiang Province, 5,000 kilometers away."

"Behind the deck infringement seeds is a long chain, which is a collective carnival with clear division of labor and collaboration in different places."

"Deck infringement has been banned repeatedly. The main reason is that the infringing seeds are fake and not inferior. It's like Moutai bottled in Erguotou wine, but it is still sold at the price of Erguotou. Except for the companies and distributors who have been cheated, no one will object."

"The price of fake seeds is cheap, farmers get benefits, and it is conducive to the development of local agriculture. Therefore, for a long time, the crackdown on decks has been a lot of thunder and little rain."

"If you want to crack down on decks, you have to go to Yili to destroy the bases of infringing seed production, so as to deter those deck companies and boost the morale of cracking down on counterfeiting."

Xiao Wang firmly held the recording pen in his pocket, and was ecstatic in his heart. Now that it was released, the truth came to his door.

It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

With these detailed first-hand information, it is sure to be able to completely curb infringement and fraud from the source.

And his own report also has a heavy weight.

He couldn't help smiling.

*****

Eagle Country, Wisconsin.

In a spacious conference room at Cargill headquarters.

President Wallace looked gloomy at the executives sitting around him, and said coldly.

"Whether this China's super soybean is real or not, who can give me an accurate news?"

The executives looked at each other in blank dismay, but were speechless and could only shake their heads.

Wallace's face became ugly, and he was about to have a seizure when the secretary came over.

"ADM, Bunge, and the president of Louis Dreyfus all called and asked to speak with you to hold an industry meeting together."

Wallace connected to the video conference with a serious face. He knew that the three colleagues came here together, and something must have happened.

The presidents of the other three grain merchants soon appeared on the screen.

Everyone's expression was heavy, and there was a deep worry in their eyes.

"Mr. Wallace, hello, since our four major grain merchants have always advanced and retreated together, I will stop talking nonsense and directly enter the topic."

Patricia, the president of ADM, is a middle-aged woman with short blonde hair. She is serious, has sharp eyes, and has an aggressive demeanor.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw out a heavy news.

"We have confirmed that the super soybeans of Syngenta, the largest seed industry group in China, are absolutely true."

The executives in the audience suddenly became commotion.

Only the four presidents stood still, their faces expressionless, not even a single wrinkle moved on their faces.

Wallace said slowly: "Ms. Patricia, I wonder if the source of the news is reliable?"

Patricia said in an unquestionable tone: "We have cooperation with COFCO. They have always imported our soybeans, but recently they proposed to adjust the long-term soybean import contract, and our Yihai Group has extensive contacts in China. And channels, they also confirmed the news."

The four presidents looked at each other, and they all saw the fear hidden in each other's eyes.

Wallace said in a deep voice: "The matter is very serious. Everyone knows that China is our largest soybean export market, and more than 100 million tons of soybeans are sold to the East every year. The blow of losing this market is something we cannot bear. "

Patricia said coldly: "This is not just a business crisis, but also a political incident. I suggest contacting the White House immediately and working together to deal with it."

The other two CEOs nodded slowly: "I agree."

A senior executive suddenly raised his hand and asked: "Dear Ms. Patricia, I have a question. Syngenta has not been able to develop a genetically modified soybean comparable to ours for so many years. Why is there such a thing all of a sudden?" A major breakthrough?"

Everyone else nodded and looked at the big screen.

Patricia sighed and said: "They have received help from Sanqing Group, and the two parties have jointly developed gene-edited crops, and have achieved fruitful results."

She scanned the audience, her eyes were as cold as eagles: "Everyone should know Sanqing's strength in genome research, which further confirms the existence of super soybeans. If soybeans with a yield of thousands of catties per mu can be fully promoted in China, it will be a big deal for us." We will be a disaster."

"Moreover, Huaxia has super soybeans, which are bound to be promoted to the world and compete fiercely with us."

"There must be a battle between us and Huaxia."

"This battle is a matter of life and death, and it is inevitable."

Everyone present was suddenly silent, and a faint panic rose in their hearts.

It was a kind of fear that there was no way out, but there were people approaching from behind.

The breath exhaled by the pursuers has been sprayed heavily on the back of their necks.

So will the day when we surpass them, or even leave them behind, be far away?

The era when the four major grain merchants cover the sky with one hand and control the lifeline of global grain.

Can it continue?

I'm afraid it's gone forever.
