Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"The Genetic Engineering Laboratory of Haidian District is a public research institute, so the funding depends on all walks of life." Yang Rui made a gesture of invitation, and led Director Lu and Director Jiao to the laboratory.

Although the leaders of the various units in the courtyard were a little excited, they were all respectful after all, and they would not block Yang Rui's way like reporters did. Seeing Yang Rui's firm attitude, they quietly let go.

Yang Rui dragged Director Lu and Director Jiao into the room, and then continued: "As you know, the Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory is an ordinary district-level laboratory, and the funds are insufficient, so we have to find a way from other aspects. gone."

"You just thought of donating money?" Director Lu was really curious. On the other hand, he also wanted to dilute the tense atmosphere just now.

Yang Rui smiled, and said half-truthfully: "We are a purely public research institute. If we don't open up to find funds, we can't make the scientific research results that appear now. If you donate money, you just tried it at the beginning. Thinking that everyone is saving face, if there is no additional resistance, this will basically be a fixed source of funds for us in the future, at least I hope so.”

"If your laboratory receives donations, whose results are they?"

"Of course it is a research institute. A donation is a donation. Although some foreign institutions have given money, they have to specify the purpose of the donation. Considering the national conditions, I don't want to accept this kind of donation for the time being."

"Is anyone willing to donate?" Director Lu is an old-fashioned person, and he doesn't quite understand the key points.

Yang Rui nodded, and said, "China Animal Husbandry, Qingmu, and Huaixi Dairy have donated a lot, and there are some other ranch companies that donate a lot."

"Why are you unwilling to take the donations from these people just now?"

"They're trying to save money, not really donating money."

"How to say?" Director Lu was aroused curiosity.

Yang Rui then explained Zhike's different pricing standards, and said: "What I gave to Lugouqiao Farm is the standard for peer research institutes. Other non-research institutions that have not donated money will have to pay a lot more. They are now The donation is just to get the embryos at a price of 1300."

"1300 is not a lot." Director Lu said so, but his heart skipped a beat.

Director Jiao turned around and said, "Zhike wants more."

"How to say?"

"It is said that the asking price outside has already reached 3,000.

"Chang Jiao himself is a shareholder of Zhike, he has not heard of it.

Director Lu's heart beat again: "3000 embryos?"

"It may not be possible to get it yet. Now the money is paid according to the time. The price of 3000 will not be able to do the embryo transfer until nearly two months later." When talking about this, Director Jiao is quite proud.

"Two months later? Isn't it possible to do the second batch of embryo transfers?" Director Lu frowned slightly.

Yang Rui smiled: "Master Jiao understands it very clearly."

"You have to find out the situation." Director Lu didn't smile anymore. The current situation was beyond his expectation.

Yang Rui nodded, and said: "The second batch of embryo transfers is planned to be done in 3 months, but at that time, the embryo transfer service will be sold in batches, so if you spend 3000 yuan to buy it now, at least it will be better than the first batch." The second batch of people should be a little earlier. At least a month earlier."

"The first batch of people came three months earlier. By that time, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the first wave of export earnings. What's the point of that?" Director Lu said with an attitude of lowering prices.

Yang Rui laughed twice, and said: "Let's not say that the sales process takes time. The payment time in foreign countries also has a first and a later time. Even foreign countries have different requirements for the growth time of cattle."

"Huh? How do you say it?" This is a professional thing, and Director Lu gradually became serious.

"The beef sold abroad is not only divided into parts, but also divided into ages. The common ones are 280 days, 350 days, and 500 days. However, in terms of the highest price and the most popular, in fact It is veal under 180 days old, and many restaurants abroad, especially high-end restaurants, will list it separately on the menu." Yang Rui said here, using English, and said: "Americans put veal under 8 months old. Beef is called veal, and cows over 8 months old are called beer. In addition, veal under 80 days old is also very popular..."

In the 21st century, foodies with a little more precision can say the above content, but the information channels in 1985 are so blocked.

Director Lu was born before liberation, grew up in a mountain village without electricity, joined the army by luck, retired and returned to the farm, started as a farm worker at the grassroots level, and spent the passionate and passionate 1960s and 1960s. The seventies, and for the past few years, got promoted and got lost.

His entire life trajectory is so clear that there is no chance of meeting with foreign countries at all.

Even, as a farm manager in the capital, he has no chance to deal with people who have eaten foreign meat.

It seems that there is no need to deal with foreign meatmen. The work of Director Lu is nothing more than growing vegetables and land and raising chickens, cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and mules.

The time he is closest to the frontier of the world, except for some inexplicable meetings, is when he is standing on a tractor.

One of the advantages of the state farm, or the pride of the state farm workers, is that they have adopted a Soviet-style large-scale industrial production method.

Seeders, rice transplanters, harvesters and tractors, although it cannot be said that they can be used every time, there are some on the farm after all. When needed, all the machines that can be started will be started as much as possible.

However, no one has ever told Mr. Lu that when raising cattle and selling beef, the age of the cattle must be divided.

In fact, in the headquarters of China Animal Husbandry Corporation, there are not many officials who have this concept.

China Animal Husbandry is not only in the cattle business. Exporting beef to earn foreign exchange is one of their strategic development directions. However, in the environment of 1985, they not only bear the blame of breeding, they also produce veterinary medicine and feed, and use this as their main business. one. The task of growing alfalfa, wheat, and vegetables also made the major state-run farms in the capital feel heavy responsibilities. In the breeding industry parallel to these tasks, pigs are still the most meat-raising livestock on state-run farms, and the number of cattle and mules used for draft is similar. At the same time, they still have to bear the burden of raising chickens, ducks, fish, etc. Duty to ensure that the great people of the capital and officials at all levels living in the capital have food to eat.

For animal husbandry professionals who focus on beef cattle and carefully study the status quo of foreign beef cattle, it is really hard to say whether China Animal Husbandry really has them.

Furthermore, ten or eight years earlier, companies like China Animal Husbandry were not necessarily qualified to directly export agricultural products. There are professional export companies in China, just like Guoyue Foreign Trade specializes in the export of medicines. They don't necessarily have to produce medicines, but all exported goods have to go through them.

This makes the monopoly of information stronger.

Layer upon layer, the person in charge of the Lugouqiao Farm is already at the grassroots level of the industrial chain. It can only be said that he has a higher vision than the farm workers who directly participate in the front-line work, but he is still a front-line employee.

Head Lu was stunned by Yang Rui's message and said: "Cows under 80 days old died accidentally, right? We try to deal with such cows for the employees in our ranch. People like to eat this?"

Yang Rui shook his head, and said, "Americans breed a lot of cattle, and they are specially slaughtered, and they must be specially slaughtered. In addition, veal also depends on the breed and place of origin."

"Slaughtering cows that are 80 days old? That would be too wasteful. The 8-month-old cows are too young and haven't started to grow meat yet." Director Lu is very familiar with the characteristics of the cows themselves. Contrary to what people generally imagine, during the growth stage of cattle, the most important thing to grow is bones, which is the process of increasing body size. It is not until a year later that the cattle begin to enter a phase of rapid growth of fat and muscle.

Therefore, in the process of cattle breeding, there is usually the saying of "shelf cattle", that is, the body has grown up, and it can be regarded as a shelf, but it has not yet begun to grow meat and fat.

An 8-month-old cow is not even counted as a shelf cow. In the eyes of Director Lu, it is naturally a waste.

Yang Rui shrugged and said: "The breeding conditions in foreign countries are different from ours. Their cattle raising costs are high, so calves that exceed the demand will be slaughtered within half a year. It cannot be said that they are slaughtered specifically for meat. Yes, they were slaughtered because they didn’t want to raise them anymore.”

After a pause, Yang Rui continued: "Of course, in order to make money, foreigners also specialize in breeding and fattening cattle for slaughter. We can do this too, nothing special."

"That is to say, if you do a cow embryo transfer, you can sell it within a year at the earliest?" Director Lu did not dwell on the specific details, but first grasped the factors that were beneficial to him.

From embryo transfer to calving, it takes about 280 days, plus the growing period of less than 80 days, veal can indeed be produced in less than a year.

In other words, if the embryo transfer is done now, you can see foreign exchange before the Chinese New Year next year.

Director Lu thought of this, and couldn't help asking: "The people in charge of those pastures outside know this situation abroad?"

"More or less, we will send a brochure to anyone who comes to inquire about the embryo transfer business of cattle to ensure that they can understand under what circumstances they are profitable, and under what circumstances they are most profitable." Yang Rui said, and handed a pamphlet to Director Lu.

Compared with the brochures of later generations, the brochures produced by genetic engineering laboratories are much simpler, more like the multi-page format of cheap leaflets, with an envelope set outside to protect it, and you have to pull it out if you want to read it. nondescript.

However, such protection is necessary, because the brochure is not only for the guests to read, but also for the convenience of the guests to bring back and discuss with the audience.

In addition, such a booklet is also very suitable for self-propagation.
