Resource Tycoon Reborn

After talking about business, Yu Dongfeng and Xun Botao each lit a cigar, and the three of them chatted casually about some recent trends in the international community.

"Master Fang, what do you think of these genetically modified crops?" Xun Botao asked with a smile. "I Am Legend" was officially released at the North American Film Market and the Hong Kong Film Market before Christmas in 2003. There is no doubt that it will

It won the weekly box office championship and has continued to this day. The box office is still very strong. Although it is difficult to compare with the box office performance of "Terminator 3", it is still the box office performance among the many weekly box office champions in 2003.

The second place!

However, compared with "Terminator 3", after the release of "I Am Legend", many film critics believed that the movie reflected mankind's strong concerns about the negative effects of the current endless stream of advanced technologies. The development of technology has brought about

It’s not all happiness! A lot of science and technology is an extremely sharp double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you may hurt yourself. There are enough precedents in many aspects.

The "Terminator" series of movies by "Fang" well reflects human beings' concerns about the emergence of artificial intelligence. "Jurassic Park" reflects people's concerns about the abuse of cloning technology, and this time "I Am

"Legend" reflects people's concerns about the large-scale cultivation of genetically modified crops. Although the movie does not point out by name that the culprit is genetically modified technology, after watching the entire movie, from the plot and character dialogue of the movie, I feel

It is not difficult to come to this conclusion.

This has triggered a new round of debate in the international community about whether the practical application of genetically modified technology is too fast. Those who believe that genetically modified technology is not yet mature and their safety cannot be fully confirmed, and therefore oppose the scientific research of large-scale planting of genetically modified crops.

Naturally, people want to take this opportunity to promote their own opinions. And those who stand on the side of practicality of genetically modified technology will naturally not show weakness. They are also promoting the advantages of genetically modified crops on a large scale. Since there are interest groups behind it

Support, the momentum is even greater.

But no matter how loud their propaganda is, mainstream scientists in the world agree that there is no problem with genetically modified technology. For example, the U.S. FDA, WHO, and the Royal Society of the United Kingdom all believe that genetically modified technology is OK. How can we say that the United States is the country that cultivates and uses the most genetically modified technology in the world?

Country. Americans have been eating it with confidence for many years. So far in the world's scientific community, there has not been a scientific paper proving that genetic modification has problems, which has been generally recognized by peers. So far, no case of disease has been confirmed and eliminated.

Genetically modified foods have something to do with it, but people’s suspicions cannot be suppressed.

"European countries believe that a new product should be restricted as long as its dangers cannot be denied. The United States believes that as long as it cannot be scientifically proven to be dangerous, it should not be restricted. In fact, I personally support European countries.

I think genetically modified technology needs to be researched, but it should not be promoted on a large scale before its dangers are determined." Fang Mingyuan said, "Even if it is promoted, people must have the right to know and have the choice of whether to eat or not to eat.

Rights! In any country, the government has no power to force citizens to eat genetically modified foods, and it does not even have the right to question! To put it bluntly, in an era where people can even have freedom of belief, citizens do not even have the freedom to eat or not eat genetically modified foods.

No, this is really like a joke!"

Xun Botao and Yu Dongfeng nodded in unison. It was indeed what Fang Mingyuan said, which indeed sounded ridiculous.

"Moreover, this view of the United States is likely to cause catastrophe. It is not without precedent in history. For example, Freon, for example, DDT. Aren't the warnings given to us enough?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Freon is a stable, non-flammable, non-corrosive and non-toxic refrigerant. Before its appearance, refrigerators often used some dangerous and even toxic gases as refrigerants. Because leaks often occurred, casualties occurred.

After Freon was invented, it has been put into mass production since the 1930s due to its many advantages. It is indispensable from household refrigerators, air conditioners to deodorant sprays. But in the 1970s and 1980s,

It was only forty or fifty years after its appearance that people gradually discovered that Freon would cause holes in the earth's ozone layer!

The earth's ozone layer can absorb a large amount of ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths harmful to humans, animals and plants emitted by the sun, providing the earth with a barrier to prevent the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Its importance is self-evident. If there is no

Without the ozone layer, humans are susceptible to and aggravated eye diseases, skin cancer and infectious diseases. Scientific research shows that if stratospheric ozone decreases by one ten thousandth, the global incidence of cataracts will increase by 6 to 8 percent.

, which means that the number of people who are blind will increase by tens of thousands. At the same time, a large amount of ultraviolet radiation will also have a serious impact on the earth's animals and plants and the ecological environment.

Therefore, since the 1970s, governments around the world have successively issued orders banning the production and use of Freon. By 2010, all major countries in the world will ban the production and use of Freon.

As for DDT, it began to be sold on the market in the 1940s. Due to its wide range of insecticidal effects, it can not only prevent sanitary pests, but also prevent and control agricultural and forestry pests. Its efficacy lasts for a long time and its lethality is obvious, so it is known as

It is a "universal pesticide". Its inventor won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1948. At that time, DDT was widely recognized by the academic community as a safe and risk-free pesticide for humans.

But is it really safe and risk-free? Twenty years later, American research institutions discovered that DDT had a greater negative impact on the ecological environment and human health than people imagined. So from 1972

Since then, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced a complete ban on DDT in agricultural production in the United States! If it was "safe" and harmless at the time, does that mean it will definitely be harmless in the future?

"After all, genetically modified food is for human consumption and must be taken directly into the mouth. I won't say that it has no side effects. No one can guarantee 100% now that it will not cause serious side effects to users. Some people say

There is no point in debating whether genetically modified crops are safe. This sounds even more confusing. As a crop that is intended for human consumption, it is meaningless for people to even question its safety? Then there is also food safety.

What does the department do? Is it just a decoration?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Fang Mingyuan is not opposed to research on genetically modified technology. In fact, he had acquired a genetically modified research company a few years ago, invested heavily in related research and development work, and obtained a number of important patents for genetically modified technologies. But so far,

, the company did not commercially promote the results obtained, but only tried the seeds on a very small scale to observe the effects.

He just disagrees with the large-scale promotion of genetically modified crops before their harmlessness to humans is confirmed, especially in China! The domestic food safety situation can be said to be extremely serious, with various poisonous foods emerging one after another.

, it is impossible to prevent it. The people have long been heartbroken by the inaction of relevant departments. Under this situation, they promote this originally controversial crop and call on everyone to eat it, but do not give the people sufficient

The right to know and the right to choose will naturally arouse the resentment of the people and be suspected of supporting interest groups.

Just when the three of them were chatting happily, Li Xintong walked in and whispered a few words in Fang Mingyuan's ear. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Okay, I understand. Brother Yu, from Fengyuan City

Secretary Li has come to see me for something urgent, so I have to excuse myself for a while. You two can feel free to stay with me, Xintong, please help me receive him."

"Li Dongxing, what's the matter? What's the matter?" Yu Dongfeng was no stranger to Fengyuan's main leaders, so he immediately realized who the visitor was, and couldn't help but have some questions in his mind.

Fang Mingyuan quickly came to his living room, where Li Dongxing was already sitting upright.

"Uncle Li, why did you come without notifying me in advance?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Did you hear that a financial sponsor was coming, and which company do you want to help go public?"

Li Dongxing smiled and said that he also knew Yu Dongfeng and Xun Botao. Yu Dongfeng was used to hiding behind the scenes. Although the fund he controlled was well-known in the industry, ordinary people did not know about it. On the contrary, Baifusheng

Securities Company, as the largest securities company in Hong Kong, is more familiar to people. In recent years, Qinxi Province has had several companies listed in Hong Kong, all of which were listed with the help of Baifusheng Securities Company.

"If your Qinxi Iron and Steel Group Company is willing to go public, I believe that both Baifusheng Securities Company and the province will be very happy to see it happen." Li Dongxing said with a smile. So far, the Fang family is still the only company in the country that has Carrefour

One company in the group is listed, and the rest of the companies have no intention of going public. In fact, many officials in Qinxi Province are still happy to see more companies listed, not only because there are companies in the province that are listed, which is a dazzling job.

The political achievements are also due to the fact that these industries under the Fang family have no worries about going public at all!

Fang Mingyuan smiled. He had already been completely heartbroken by the domestic stock market in his previous life. He neither wanted to make money from it nor become a target and a thorn in the eyes of others. Only the Carrefour Group was listed, no matter how "special" it was.

"Walking alone", no matter how it conforms to international practice, they can't say anything, but if there are many companies doing this, I'm afraid someone will secretly interfere with the Fang family who has ruined their financial path.

Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to end up in a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides in the country! (To be continued...)
