I can extract side effects

Beijing, Syngenta headquarters building.

Sitting at his desk, Wang De seriously looked at the performance report on the computer, and couldn't help but smile.

Thanks to his wise leadership, the company's performance last year was quite impressive, and it delivered an amazing answer sheet.

Due to the strategic cooperation with Sanqing, the performance of the pesticide and seed business has increased rapidly, with a year-on-year increase of more than 80%.

Especially driven by the launch of super soybeans, the seed business, including vegetable seeds and other field crop seeds, saw an actual growth of 156% in annual revenue.

This is just the beginning, mainly for the overseas seed market business, domestic super soybeans are selling well, and have not yet been fully rolled out.

There are other super seeds being cultivated, waiting to be introduced to the market, and their performance next year will only be better.

With the impact of the global economic crisis, climate change, and regional disputes, the food crisis has intensified. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to increase investment in agricultural technology, increase production capacity, and use land more efficiently.

While thinking, Wang De recorded the thoughts in his mind one by one.

This is the future strategic development direction of the group, and the most important thing is undoubtedly the in-depth cooperation with Sanqing Group in gene technology.

Thinking of this, Wang De couldn't help sighing in his heart: "This Sanqing Group is really cheating. After the development of the fourth-generation genetic technology, it is applied to the rapid cultivation and mass production of genetic seeds. The efficiency is not ordinary. High, the effect is not generally good."

"Other super potatoes, super corn, super wheat and a series of seeds have also used this new technology, and mass production is just around the corner. It is estimated that there will be no problem in the market this year."

"The country's planting industry is about to undergo drastic changes, and the country has begun to open up this market. From now on, genetic crops will rule the world."

An unusual excitement spread all over his body, and with his keen sense of smell, he already smelled a storm coming.

The magnificent and grand scene slowly unfolded before his eyes, and he deeply felt a kind of trembling from the depths of his soul.

A thought in my heart became more unwavering.

"We must embrace the golden thigh of Sanqing Group, carry out the seed industry revolution to the end, and come out on top in this industry change and maintain a leading position."

When he was full of thoughts and emotions, his cell phone rang suddenly.

At first glance, it was Mr. Ding of COFCO.

The vice president is responsible for the cooperation with Syngenta. Since the cooperation between the two parties, the relationship has been very harmonious and the work has been very smooth.

He clicked the answer button, and immediately heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, long time no see, how are you doing? Are super soybean seeds sold like crazy?"

Although the other party was exchanging greetings, there was an irrepressible joy in his voice.

As soon as Wang De heard the other party's tone, he knew that this tactful Mr. Ding definitely didn't intend to know the sales situation of Super Soybeans. He immediately responded with a smile and directed the topic to the other party.

"The sales are not bad. Why, according to your tone, your soybean oil is also selling well?"

Mr. Ding slapped his thigh and immediately said.

"It's more than good, Lao Wang, you don't know, the super soybean oil we launched on the market is cheap, and it's made in China. It's really popular. It sold out in a few days. The online word-of-mouth has exploded. Encouraged, I am ready to make Super Soybean Oil a hit.”

"Originally, for such a new thing, the group still has doubts about the market acceptance. You also know that the reputation of genetically modified soybean oil is not very good. It is almost like a street mouse. Everyone is screaming and beating."

"To be honest, I also understand the concerns of the higher-ups. After all, it is all genetic technology, and it is easy for people to confuse it. If it is regarded as genetically modified food, it will definitely affect word of mouth and sales, and it will be difficult to correct it."

He sighed in admiration: "But I didn't expect that it sold like crazy when it was launched, especially some netizens spontaneously popularized the differences between genetically modified crops and genetically modified foods. We later arranged some experts and scholars to publicize and endorse. In short The market is booming, and the prospects are bright!"

"Now the executives are very confident in this soybean oil, and we are waiting for a bumper harvest of super soybeans. At that time, we will fully promote this product in all channels across the country, online and offline, and strive to replace the existing ones on the market as soon as possible." Genetically modified soybean oil."

"Super soybean oil will become a popular product of the light of domestic products, and only we have it. It has high yield, high nutrition, high quality and low price. It will definitely defeat Arowana and them, and fully occupy the soybean oil market."

"I mainly want to tell you the good news, Lao Wang, the cooperation between our two groups needs to go deeper."

Mr. Ding rubbed his hands, eager to try: "Look at when super corn and super peanut seeds will be on the market. We plan to ride on the heat and plan to launch a series of new super corn oil and super peanut oil."

Wang De showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, we are already making arrangements. It will definitely be listed this year."

*****

Kunming, Sanqing Headquarters.

After the new year, the genetic laboratory became more and more busy.

"Jingle Bell!"

Tang Que frowned, and answered the phone a little irritably.

"Dr. Tang, more than a dozen scientific research institutions have called to inquire about the relevant information of Protobacteria proteolytic enzyme, and request the latest version of the sample."

Tang Que said impatiently: "Follow the procedure, how many times have I been told, don't ask me about this kind of thing."

"But now the company has no clear regulations on this aspect. If you want to provide samples to scientific research institutions, you must obtain your permission."

"Got it, got it. You send me the document and I'll sign it."

Tang Que hung up the phone, stood up abruptly, and walked up and down the room in a state of distraught.

After the announcement of the fourth-generation gene editing technology, domestic scientific research institutions have continuously sent requests, asking whether they can use this patent for free for scientific research, and also hope to obtain the latest version of the sample for research.

In the beginning, not many institutions sent applications, that is, the institutions of universities such as the Department of Biology of Peking University and the Department of Biology of Nantah University. Their state key laboratories cooperated with the Pangu Research Institute, and they were relatively well informed about the internal information of Sanqing. .

Tang Que readily agreed to their request. He had communicated with Wei Kang in advance and provided relevant materials and samples for free, so as to promote the popularization of the fourth-generation genetic technology as soon as possible.

After these institutions got the samples, they found in the scientific research work that it is indeed powerful and easy to use, the off-target rate has been greatly reduced, and the success rate has increased a lot.

After tasting the sweetness, the reputation of the fourth-generation gene editing tools spread rapidly, and became very popular among universities.

As a result, more and more scientific research institutions have sent applications.

Especially after showing its prowess in the mass production of seeds and its reputation bursting.

The provincial academies of agricultural sciences also saw the advantages of this technology and kept sending letters asking for samples and patent authorization.

Soon, almost all scientific research institutions and biological companies in the country were calling Sanqing.

Although Tang Que arranged a special staff to take charge of this matter, with the sharp increase in workload, the business volume in this area has grown to a terrifying number very quickly.

Since each distribution of samples requires the signature and approval of the director of the genetic laboratory, Tang Que already deeply felt that if no measures were taken, his work would be out of control.

Originally, he only needed to be in charge of the genetic laboratory, but now he has to be responsible for the management of genetic patents.

He had long wanted to quit and leave this job to other people in the R\u0026D department.

It's just that I was too busy a year ago, and I haven't had time to mention this matter to Wei Kang, thinking that it won't be too late after the New Year.

I never expected that after the Chinese New Year, these institutions and companies would call me incessantly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They were simply demanding and demanding.

He was overwhelmed and bored.

"No, if this continues, I'm going to go crazy, I have to tell Mr. Wei."

Tang Que made up his mind and initiated a meeting request to the boss.

Not long after, he came to Wei Kang's office and mentioned the matter.

"Mr. Wei, I can't do it anymore. The company must set up a special department to take charge of this matter. In the future, not only domestic institutions and companies, but also foreign scientific research scholars will send requests. Those who hope to provide samples will definitely increase their business volume. We need to make arrangements in advance.”

"And this matter has bothered me recently, and my work efficiency has dropped."

After hearing this, Wei Kang said in surprise, "This was my mistake. I didn't expect the fourth-generation gene editing technology to be so popular. I underestimated the interest and needs of domestic institutions."

He pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I will separate the work in this area as soon as possible, so you can concentrate on your work and won't be disturbed any more."

"I'll take care of this. Don't worry, but if you have the latest version, update it in time and put it in."

Tang Que heaved a sigh of relief, and asked curiously, "Boss, we discussed last time. Is the matter of patent authorization settled now?"

Wei Kang smiled and said: "You should have heard of the gene patent licensing strategy of the Broad Institute."

"Our patent licensing policy must be better than theirs, in order to attract foreign scientific research scholars to use our technology."

Tang Que was both surprised and delighted, and asked, "What's the specifics?"

"Scientific research institutions and basic research can use our technology for free. For commercial use, small-scale, low-amount, and non-profit applications, no money is required."

"Only large-scale, high-revenue commercial applications need to pay patent fees, and the amount will be relatively low. It is a symbolic fee, and it is enough to make a point."

"The main purpose is to promote this patented technology, especially abroad."

"Only by breaking the shackles of patents and sharing this technology as much as possible can we attract more and more people to use it and promote the continuous development of the biological industry."

After Wei Kang finished speaking, Tang Que nodded in sympathy.

He admired his boss's foresight and grand layout.

However, Wei Kang still had some words left unspoken.

Although he encourages everyone to use their own gene editing technology, it does not mean that they have given up the benefits of patents.

As long as any institution or company, or even an individual, has made a breakthrough in commercial applications.

With Sanqing's current abundant funds, it is entirely possible to acquire or invest in these potential applications and bring them under its control.

The prospect of gene editing technology in the biological industry is too broad. Giving up the patent licensing fee will fully release the full potential in this area.

Instead of collecting patent taxes like Qualcomm, it is better to take the road of investment and acquisition like Penguin, which can get more benefits.

However, in this case, Sanqing's establishment of an industrial fund should also be put on the agenda.

Not only can it raise funds from the society, but it can also introduce major capital, concentrate on major tasks, and promote the development and application of new technologies.

Capital is like a scourge. It sounds scary, but if it can be tamed and used well, it is nothing more than a tool. It may not be beneficial to society and benefit all people.

Wei Kang couldn't help thinking about it, and felt that there was a lot to be done about this matter, but it still needed to be discussed in the long run.

A few days later, the Sanqing Group officially issued an announcement, announcing the authorization of the fourth-generation gene technology patent to the public.

This decision instantly triggered numerous praises, and the entire biological industry applauded for it.

In fact, Sanqing is not much different from the Broad Institute in this regard, and they are all used by scientific research institutions around the world for free.

Only when the enterprise has made a breakthrough in commercial applications, will it charge patent licensing fees.

However, because Sanqing is a new technology and is secretly resisted by the West, it has to give up a large part of its benefits in exchange for its rapid popularization.

Basic technology is different from applied technology. The most important thing is to be widely popularized so that results can continue to emerge.

Sanqing’s own capabilities are limited. Only when more and more institutions and enterprises use this technology, make breakthroughs, and have commercial applications, can Sanqing benefit from it as much as possible.

When the news broke, the first people interested were overseas biohackers.

They immediately sent an application to Sanqing, hoping to obtain samples for research.

Some gene hackers quickly got free samples, applied them to their own projects, and were pleasantly surprised to find that it was much better than the Broad Institute's CAS9 protein.

The world's biohackers are boiling, and since then Sanqing has been promoted to the altar.

After hearing the news, other pharmaceutical companies were also very excited.

They soon also sent a request to Sanqing, and after obtaining the samples, they tried to apply them to their own gene drug research and development.

Of course, this is all done in the dark.

After all, Sanqing would not be too idle to disclose his client list.

*****

Wei Kang soon received a call from his old acquaintance Andre.

As the head of Pfizer's Oncology Division, Andre has been cooperating with him on anticancer drugs and has established a deep friendship with him.

So as soon as I came up, I went straight to the point and made a request directly.

"Dear Wei, we at Pfizer are also very interested in the fourth-generation gene editing technology, and hope to get some samples for research on gene medicine."

Wei Kang agreed immediately: "No problem, there is a special page on our official website to deal with this matter, you only need to fill in the relevant information, and we will mail you samples through overseas branches."

"Wonderful, thank you so much for your generosity."

Andre hung up the phone very excitedly, opened Sanqing's official website, and soon saw a striking logo and entered an order page.
