Chapter 459: Counterattack of the Vegetable Seed Industry

After returning to Jiuquan, Bi Qiang found out that there were more seeds in several old places. As usual, these seeds would bring him surprises after being planted.

But this time it was obviously not what he expected.

This made him feel a little relieved. To be honest, seeds that were too good would put him under a lot of pressure.

He didn't know where these seeds came from. Maybe Guo Yang had other arrangements. It was normal for such a large group to have other research teams.

For example, the desert botanical gardens established by Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in Minqin and other places have cultivated many varieties that make him feel very impressive.

There are also Jiahe Biochemical's Xanthoceras sorbifolia and Leprosy trees, each of which is a monster.

I don’t know how those people were cultivated.

In Jiahe, in addition to the breeding of grain and cash crops, ecological plant breeding is also an important section, and sometimes Tianhe Academy of Sciences will also help to expand the breeding of some plants.

"Except for summer and autumn vegetables in Yunnan, Guizhou and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, breeding teams in other regions have already been deployed," said Bi Qiang.

Domestic alpine vegetables are divided into three regions, and the Yangtze River Basin is only the smallest alpine region.

The other two are summer and autumn vegetables from western Yunnan and Guizhou and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and cool-season vegetables from the Hexi Corridor in the northern Bashang area and the Loess Plateau.

Tianhe has a solid foundation in the Hexi Corridor and the Loess Plateau, which were previously known as plateau summer vegetables.

In the western Yunnan, Guizhou and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, apart from Qinghai-Tibet, the competitive pressure in Yunnan and Guizhou is not low, especially Yunnan Province, which has attracted the attention of many seed companies very early.

It is also Tianhe’s key area in the past two years.

"Well, I'll leave this one to you."

The coffee table was filled with the aroma of sesame tea. Guo Yang gestured to Bi Qiang to drink some tea and drank a cup himself.

Drinking a cup of hemp tea in the morning can make you feel refreshed and comfortable.

Bi Qiang also took a cup of tea, and immediately felt his lips and teeth watering. The light aftertaste went straight to the top of his head, and the fatigue from the continuous business trips dissipated a lot.

“How are vegetable seed sales in other areas?”

"According to Yuan Wenwu, seed companies in the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, the United States, and South Korea now hate Lin Song and the Beijing News."

"Huh?" Bi Qiang said in surprise, "Aren't they in the same group?"

Lin Song and others praised Syngenta's advantages in the vegetable seed industry to the sky, and some subsequent media once again praised the vegetable seeds of South Korea and other countries.

In theory, it can be considered a disguised form of publicity. Foreign seeds are very powerful in this wave of public opinion. Their prices are several or ten times that of domestic seeds, and their sales volume is even higher than that of domestic seeds, which is enough to show how popular they are among farmers.

Spontaneous media publicity is like free advertising, which no company would not welcome.

But now it seems that they are having internal conflicts.

"Maybe they licked their faces and approached them." The people who 'licked their faces' were naturally Lin Song and others. Guo Yang smiled and said:
"In short, this wave of publicity has helped promote Tianhe vegetable seeds."

Bi Qiang didn't understand, but Guo Yang was also concerned about the spring sowing situation during this period.

Every year from the end of the Chinese New Year to before spring sowing is a critical period for the sale of seeds, seedlings and various agricultural supplies.

Corn and soybeans are the basic crops for spring and summer planting, and they are as stable as ever;

Fruit tree seedlings are also on the rise, but have not yet reached their peak (excluding Jiahe Biochemical);
What remains are vegetable seeds and seedlings, which is also Tianhe’s key breakthrough area in the near future.

...

a month ago.

Shouguang.

This is China's largest vegetable basket.

But one of the important reasons why Shouguang's vegetable industry has achieved a breakthrough among many vegetable producing areas in China is that it was the first to introduce foreign seeds.

Vegetable farmers generally focus on the quality of seeds and the price of their products, and never ask about nationality.

As long as you can produce more vegetables and sell them for more money, vegetable farmers are willing to pay.

This made foreign seeds very popular in Shouguang.

Because it is really good.

For many years, foreign varieties have been superior to domestic varieties in terms of commercial traits, yield, and resistance to disease, drought and flood.

The Dutch Rijk Zwaan Seedlings Group was founded in 1924 and has consistently ranked among the top ten in the world's seed industry.

Mainly engaged in professional vegetable breeding, seed production and seed sales.

It established a branch in Qingdao in 2001.

While providing high-quality varieties, we have also established a technical service team to provide growers with full-process services from planting to harvesting all year round.

Yang Yan is an eggplant crop specialist at Rijk Zwang. He is in his thirties, wears a windbreaker, and often shuttles between greenhouses.

At this moment, he was in a place called Tianliu Town.

He was accompanied by the marketing manager Xia Jun, but Xia Jun was not very happy along the way. He looked constipated after checking the customer list of the Tianliu Town sales point.

"The situation in Tianliu Town is not ideal either. Eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers...none of them have met expectations."

The shop owner was a tall man in his fifties, wearing a black coat and with the same sad expression on his face.

"The competition is too fierce. We have lost many old customers. Hey, Manager Xia, we have to think of a solution!"

"Lower the price a little more."

"It's not a question of lowering prices. Vegetable farmers only care about quality and yield."

Xia Jun pondered and said, "Let Yang Yan and I go visit the farmers later. Didn't Li Shinong come to buy seeds last year?"

The shop owner shook his head and said, "No."

Li Shinong is a large vegetable grower with four greenhouses at home, covering a total area of ​​more than 30 acres.

For many years, Li Shinong has been a loyal customer of Rijk Zwang, and Xia Jun has brought technical service personnel to his home more than once to help him solve problems.

Yang Yan also had a deep impression of it. After all, driving a BMW to grow vegetables gave him a great shock at the time.

"That shouldn't be the case. I remember that Li Shinong has always been fond of Britta and Baili. He won't change the seeds easily."

The shop owner said, "Li Shinong has stopped growing Brita a long time ago."

Yang Yan was stunned.

"You're out!" Xia Jun shook his head, "Britta may be a thing of the past."

"How is this possible!" Yang Yan exclaimed.

Britta is a purple-black eggplant variety. One eggplant can grow to 3 meters or even taller and has a long harvest period. Whether it is delayed winter cultivation in autumn or early spring cultivation, the yield per mu can reach more than 3 jin.

Since entering Shouguang, it has been invincible and has a market share of up to 90%.

The price of seeds has also been rising year by year, with a seed costing 70 or 80 cents and a seedling costing more than one dollar.

This brought high profits to Rijk Zwaan.

When Yang Yan heard that Britta might be eliminated, he didn't believe it.

He is an eggplant crop specialist. His main job is to study the supporting cultivation techniques of eggplant and provide technical services to farmers.

During his countless technical service operations, he experienced the farmers' joy.

Brittany, Sharapova, Huamo, Elysee, Cocoli...all the long and round eggplant varieties are extremely popular.

Especially for Britta, one shed can bring tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan of wealth to farmers.

One acre of land can bring Rick Zwaan one to two thousand yuan in seed and seedling income.

The high profits also mean that Rex Wang offers excellent welfare benefits. Over the years, Yang Yan has experienced the company's meticulous care for its employees.

It also made him feel highly identified with Rick Zwaan.

He really couldn't believe that without the high-profit seeds, Rex Wang would still be able to maintain its high welfare benefits.

"Not only Britta, but Bailey may also face being eliminated by the market." Xia Jun sighed: "Otherwise, why has the sales volume dropped so sharply in the past two years?"

Bailey is a large red tomato variety and also a very popular product of Rijk Zwaan.

Yang Yan said: "Farmers always need to use seeds, and I really can't think of any seeds that can replace Britta."

"I'll take you there and see for myself."

Xia Jun greeted the shop owner and took Yang Yan to the village. There were rows of greenhouses stretching as far as the eye could see.

Some are harvesting, and some are raising seedlings and planting.

From a distance, Yang Yan saw a BMW 5 Series parked on the side of the road, half on the concrete road and half on the dirt slope.

He knew that he had come to Li Shinong's territory, and it seemed that it was not because of bankruptcy...

Li Shinong has four sheds, two large and two small. The big shed was not locked, so Xia Jun did not call him and went in to take a look.

The first sight gave him a strange look.

"eggplant."

After Yang Yan crouched down and entered the shed, he felt a wave of heat and saw the long purple-black eggplants hanging there. They had a smooth and shiny texture, green calyx and no thorns.

Xia Jun asked in confusion: "It looks a lot like Britta. What the hell is Li Shinong doing? Where did he buy the seedlings?"

"It's a little strange." Yang Yan half squatted down and stared at the eggplant.

"Who's there?" A burly peasant woman came over.

"Aunt, I'm Xia Jun from Rixwang."

The woman also saw the man clearly and recognized him. She shouted and soon Li Shinong appeared. He was tall and thin, but looked very strong.

Xia Junxian praised: "This year's eggplant is good!"

Li Shinong smiled. This compliment touched his heart. He wanted to take out a cigarette, but when he remembered that he was in the greenhouse, he gave up.

It was a bit awkward for a moment. Xia Jun was familiar with him. He was the marketing manager of Rijk Wang. He had bought seeds from him in the past few years.

But the times are different now.

Before Xia Jun could speak again, Yang Yan had already come to the conclusion, "This is not Britta."

Li Shinong sneered and said, "Of course not. These are seedlings bought from Tianhe Seeds. The quality and yield are both good."

"Sure, Mr. Li."

Xia Jun was very experienced. He signaled Yang Yan not to talk too much with his eyes, and then continued to ask: "How many kilograms can it produce?"

"Thirty thousand pounds is very stable."

Li Shinong was not averse to chatting with Xia Jun, Yang Yan and others. The marketing and technical service personnel of the seed company all knew some technology.

More communication will actually help him understand information from the outside world.

These are the eggplant seedlings planted at the end of August last year. After more than 8 days, the first batch of eggplants will be available on the market.

In the following October and November, the second batch of eggplants began to bear fruit. Around the Spring Festival, the price of eggplant reached the most expensive time of the year.

It is not until April and May, when outdoor eggplants are available in large quantities, that the third batch of eggplants will become cheap.

Nowadays, eggplant can be sold for about 3 or yuan, and can be sold for as much as yuan at the highest during the Spring Festival.

Xia Jun estimated in his mind that Li Shinong built a super greenhouse, and one greenhouse covered 10 acres of land.

He inquired, "Has this shed produced 200,000 catties this year?"

Li Shinong grinned and said, "Almost 300,000 kilograms."

"Almost there, huh?" Xia Jun initially heard it as almost 200,000 jins and thought it wasn't there yet, but he quickly realized, "300,000 jins?!"

Yang Yan also listened with eyes wide open.

"It's about right." Li Shinong was a little unsure whether it had reached 300,000 kilograms.

But this was enough to make Xia Jun and Yang Yan stunned.

Your yield of 30,000 jin per mu is not very stable, it is a foregone conclusion!
There is still one crop of fruit left!
Including the third crop, we may have to touch the threshold of 400,000 kilograms.

Yang Yan's lips felt slightly bitter. No wonder he could drive a BMW to grow vegetables.

"You've sold it for at least 60 yuan."

"Not only that." Xia Jun asked: "Mr. Li, what do you grow in the other three greenhouses?"

“Cucumbers, bitter melon, and sweet peppers.”

“No tomatoes?”

"I guess Tianhe hasn't released any tomato seeds recently."

So you only use Tianhe's varieties? Xia Jun frowned slightly, sensing the difficulty of the matter. He wanted to mention Rex Wang now, but it was difficult to mention it.

After holding it in for a long time, they could only start with the prices of seeds and seedlings and took the initiative to propose a price reduction.

Li Shinong just said he would consider it, but Xia Jun knew there was no hope.

Just taking eggplant varieties as an example, the yield difference between the two is several thousand kilograms. This is a huge gap that cannot be solved simply by lowering prices.

Just like a few years ago, domestic eggplants were about 2 cents each, while Brittany could be sold for or cents, a difference of to times.

But the farmers still chose Britta.

To put it bluntly, farmers value benefits, and Tianhe’s seeds and seedlings are not cheap. The cost of one acre of seedlings is three to four thousand yuan, which is comparable to Britta, but the benefits are much better.

For Rick Zwaan, this was an unsolvable problem.

After visiting for a while, Xia Jun and Yang Yan returned to Jimo District, Qingdao, where Rex Wang China's headquarters is located.

Not only does it have an experimental center, it also has dozens or even hundreds of glass greenhouses, winter-warm solar greenhouses, and plastic greenhouses for scientific research and seedling production.

Xia Jun wrote a material report and submitted it.

Information from various vegetable producing areas is constantly gathered on the desk of Sun Wei, general manager of Rijk Zwaan (Qingdao).

Rijk Zwaan has long since expanded beyond Shandong Province and has dealer teams in vegetable producing areas in Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu and other places in China.

The autumn overwintering vegetables (greenhouse) are still in the harvest period, but the early spring open-field vegetables are in the seedling and planting period.

However, Rijk Zwaan's sales in recent years have not been optimistic, and this year's sales data is even more dismal.

This made him furious at the meeting.

"After peppers and tomatoes, sales of eggplant and cucumber seeds and seedlings have also dropped by 5%!"

"This is a direct cut in half!"

"If you continue like this, the company will have no choice but to lay off employees," Sun Wei said sternly.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Qingdao company is only a link in the Rijk Zwaan distribution, equivalent to the general distributor, because the core breeding is all in the Netherlands.

The core mission of Qingdao company is promotion and sales, and it is responsible for making money.

Now the ability to make money has dropped significantly, and the profits handed in are not enough, so we can only reduce costs and increase efficiency. After getting angry, Sun Wei began to ask the reason.

"It's Tianhe. Tianhe has gone crazy. Not only have they increased their advertising and marketing investment, they've also lowered their prices!"

“Several of Tianhe’s varieties overlap with ours.”

"Tianhe's price cut is quite drastic. It used to be more expensive than ours, but now it's even cheaper. We can't sell it. We absolutely can't sell it."

Xia Jun, who also participated in the meeting, did not know the reason. Since Shouguang greenhouses accounted for the majority, and Tianhe was well-known here, the price cut was not severe.

He groaned and said, "If we lower the price, sales in Shouguang in summer and autumn may also be difficult."

Sun Wei said sternly: "Shouguang must be saved!"

“It’s difficult. Tianhe’s vegetable seeds have been grown in Shouguang for seven or eight years. The seeds of spicy peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, bitter melons, etc. have also been grown for three years.

Tianhe has a high reputation, and if he continues to maintain the highest market price, he may still have a chance to catch his breath.

Once it gets drastically reduced in price, I can’t think of anything to resist.”

Xia Jun became more and more frustrated as he spoke. Shouguang is the largest vegetable base in the country, with more than 50 acres of greenhouses and more than 30 acres of open-air vegetables.

It is also the largest vegetable seed and seedling market in the country.

Rijk Zwaan, Syngenta, Seminis, Monsanto, South Korea's Shinong Company, Israel's Hazera and many other companies have gathered here.

Each company can offer at least thousands of vegetable varieties.

Even with so many rivals, Rick Swang lived a comfortable life before Tianhe's rise.

Because everyone has something they can show off.

But after Tianhe varieties came out, this balance was gradually broken.

In particular, the spicy sweet peppers, which initially expanded the market by adopting the affordable route, dealt a heavy blow to many companies.

Fortunately, after expanding the market, Tianhe raised its prices.

Newly launched varieties such as eggplant, cucumber, bitter gourd, etc. are taking the high-end route as soon as they enter the market.

Taking eggplant as an example, the seed investment per acre for local varieties is about 50 yuan, while the seed investment per acre for Rex Wang's leading eggplant variety, Britta, is about 1800 yuan.

However, Tianhe's investment in eggplant seeds per mu reached 2500 yuan.

But there are still people who pay for it, and word of mouth continues to grow.

Now Tianhe’s eggplant seeds have adjusted their prices again, with the investment per mu only needing 1500 yuan, and promotion has been greatly accelerated.

Sun Wei groaned and said, "We'll also lower the price."

Someone asked: "What if Tianhe lowers the price again?"

Someone answered: "Tianhe's R&D and production costs are definitely lower. We still need to import species from the Netherlands."

"The price can't be lowered as much as Tianhe's."

"Has Tianhe gone crazy? Why did they suddenly cut the price so drastically?"

If Tianhe does not lower its prices, Rexroth will suffer a slow death, but he believes in Rexroth's R&D capabilities and can develop new varieties before a variety completely loses its market value.

But a drastic price cut could lead to cardiac arrest!
When one variety after another loses its dominance in the high-end market and is forced to engage in price wars, it is a fatal blow to companies like Rijk Zwaan.

Why did Tianhe increase its marketing promotion while drastically reducing prices? This is the question Sun Wei urgently wants to know.

He looked at the marketing director, who projected a document on the big screen.

"Maybe it has something to do with the recent news."

The marketing director said: "After the hearing on Monsanto's acquisition of Syngenta, there was a wave of foreign seed craze in China."

"There are a lot of media reports that foreign seeds have taken over the domestic vegetable seed industry."

"That's it?" Sun Wei felt incredible.

"Besides this, I can't think of any other reason."

"What the hell is going on!"

At this moment, Sun Wei hated Lin Song and others. It was truly an unprovoked disaster.

Rijk Zwaan is just a microcosm. Syngenta and Seminis Seeds, which are still in the process of mergers and acquisitions, have not escaped the siege launched by Tianhe.

Gained reputation but lost market.

From mid-March to early April, all major foreign-funded seed companies experienced a cliff-like decline.

In contrast, Tianhe and Denong continue to make great strides.

On the one hand, it is due to the continuous fermentation of word of mouth, and on the other hand, it is also related to the continuous madness of Tianhe’s grassroots staff.

Everyone seemed to hold their breath.

In early April, the Shouguang International Vegetable Seed Expo, which will last for a month, opened.

Yan Qun appeared in the exhibition hall on behalf of Tianhe, and with him was Yuan Wenwu.

"There are 75 varieties of vegetables on display this time, which is full of hope."

"There are more than 3000 varieties in the entire exhibition hall, and Tianhe accounts for about 2.4%. It will also be ruined." Yan Qun pondered.

This time, Tianhe brought out all the approved vegetable varieties just to show off.

At the booth, all kinds of vegetables were planted in various containers. There was a constant stream of people coming and going, and many people placed orders.

Yuan Wenwu and Yan Qun went to the booth and said, "It always feels awkward to exhibit in the exhibition hall. Facility vegetables should be exhibited in greenhouses."

"That's right." Yan Qun's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's see if Tianhe can apply to host it next year."

Yuan Wenwu said: "It may be a bit difficult. Shouguang Vegetable Seed Industry Group was established this year and they may want to host it."

The establishment of Shouguang Vegetable Seed Group is also a counterattack by the local area against the powerful foreign seeds, and it has brought together a number of national, high-tech research institutions and colleges.

It can be said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

If there is no Tianhe, this is the hope of the domestic vegetable seed industry.

Yan Qun smiled and said, "It's just a listing now. It may take another year or two for it to be operational, so next year is Tianhe's last chance to host it."

"Then we must do it!"

An expo is an opportunity to increase influence. It is usually sponsored by the government and hosted by enterprises. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not too difficult to obtain the qualification to host the expo.

The two were chatting as they walked, and coincidentally a reporter was at Tianhe's booth asking about the price of seeds.

In front of the reporter was an intern wearing Tianhe clothing. Maybe he was not very familiar with the prices, so he mumbled and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yuan Wenwu was a little annoyed when he saw this, and worried that the reporter would report something indiscriminately again, so he stopped to the side and said:
"That box is Tianhe long eggplants. There are 1000 eggs in a bag and they sell for 700 yuan. There are 500 bags in a box and they can be exchanged for a high-end car."

He was immediately confused by the reporter's words and exaggeratedly compared the box, which did not look very big.

"One box for a luxury car?"

The intern also responded, "Yeah, it's fair, 35 yuan per box."

"Hiss... I'm afraid what's being sold isn't gold."

“It is not uncommon for a good seed to be more valuable than gold.”

"..."

Yuan Wenwu and Yan Qun went to other places, but the reporter refused to leave and stayed where he was until someone really came to buy eggplant seeds at 35 yuan a box. Only then did he leave in shock.

He looked around the entire store, but couldn't find a more expensive eggplant variety than this one.

...

Mellon has been puzzled these two days.

He was scolded by his leader.

The reason was that seed companies such as Syngenta, Rijk Zwaan, and Monsanto all called the Beijing News.

"Stop your nonsense propaganda, and talk about foreign seeds being the kings. I'm about to be beaten into a grandson!"

Although the words were not so crude, this is what the leader meant.

It’s not enough to help you promote it!
This made him very dissatisfied.

So he personally visited several foreign seed companies headquartered in Beijing.

When he stated his purpose, the other party's eyes suddenly became ferocious, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces on the spot.

Fortunately, he was covered with skin.

After learning the details, he finally understood the whole story.

Then, he was stunned.

Are domestic vegetable seeds catching up with foreign seeds?

The giants merged because of poor performance, and their performance in China is also shaky and precarious...

He felt that it was a bit exaggerated, and the other party might want to make a lot of money quietly, but in the end the foreigner came out in person to talk to him.

The other party is worried that if they continue to spread the propaganda in this way, the Chinese government will come up with some ruthless move.

One Tianhe is already miserable enough.

Now there is the Shouguang Vegetable Seed Group, which integrates the scientific research strength of more than 40 top institutions in China.

Come up with some new policy... for example, genetically modified seeds will not be allowed to enter China within ten or twenty years.

It's hard to handle, hey.

The foreigner tried earnestly to get him to shut up.

When Mellon saw "a box of domestic seeds in exchange for a high-end car", his defenses were broken, he became autistic, and his spiritual home was gone.

At the same time, in an office, Ren Jianxin smoked one cigarette after another, and Lin Song dared not say anything.

"Monsanto sent me a message telling us to shut up."

"Look, you, why did you insist on picking vegetable seeds? You hit an iron wall."

Lin Song also felt very aggrieved, he was clearly talking about pesticides!

……

Jiuquan.

The ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window was dyed with layers of green. Bi Qiang was still sipping his tea, with a rich aroma in his heart.

"So, the Chemical Industry Group and the Beijing News have helped Tianhe a lot. They will soon be able to take over the Shandong market!"

"I can't say whether I've captured him, but at least I've gotten rid of this bad feeling."

Guo Yang laughed and said, "There are about 60 acres of eggplant in Shandong Province, and Tianhe has acquired 10 acres this season!

Shouguang has 6 mu of eggplant, and its market share has reached over 50%. "

"The total eggplant planting area in China is 1110 million mu, and the annual sales of eggplant alone is expected to exceed 5 million!"

"There are also cucumbers, hot bell peppers, tomatoes, bitter melons, cabbages... this market is still very large!"

China has the largest vegetable planting area in the world, with peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables accounting for more than 50% of the global planting area.

The world's number one vegetable producer without a doubt.

Unless you go abroad, Chinese people can't imagine how rich the vegetables are in China. The Koreans and Japanese would drool at the sight of them.

However, in the field of high-end vegetable seeds, China has been lacking a voice for a long time.

Tianhe has now made up for some of its shortcomings.

Guo Yang has cultivated a total of 10 vegetable varieties using the seed store.

The earliest ones were Tianjiao No. 1 and Chihong No. 1, followed by tomatoes, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, and carrots. Later, another tomato was cultivated.

As well as cucumbers, eggplants, cabbages and bitter gourds cultivated four years ago.

With these 10 varieties as the backbone, Tianhe Science Academy has also launched 65 vegetable varieties, including some eye-catching varieties such as Tianbai No. 1.

It can be said that a preliminary system has been formed.

Compared with Rijk Zwaan's more than 1800 vegetable varieties and Syngenta's thousands of varieties, Tianhe may still be a little thin.

But the 10 core varieties are all very durable!

Punch Syngenta, kick Rexroth, and sit on Syngenta to death...

Bi Qiang smiled and said, "Is there a chance that the sales of vegetable seeds will exceed 10 billion?"

"Uh..." Guo Yang choked, "That's a nice thought, the entire domestic vegetable seed market is only over 100 billion.

It will increase significantly in the next two years, but it will be extremely difficult to reach 10 billion just for Tianhe Vegetables.”

"With Tianhe's current promotion method, the seeds will flood the entire country in a few years, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

One is a long and steady stream,

One is to earn excess profits in the short term by increasing the number of troops. At the same time, domestic counterparts can also use the cosplay technique to squeeze out the profit margins of foreign seeds.

Tianhe chose the latter.

Let’s straighten out the energy first before doing anything else. Besides, when seeds become abundant in the future, Tianhe will also be the orthodox one.

Bi Qiang laughed and shook his head, the word cosplay was really an apt description.

It is difficult to guard against counterfeiting of vegetable seeds, which is much more difficult to deal with than grain seeds. Just setting up a greenhouse to produce seedlings will make it much more difficult to combat counterfeiting.

"I hope that in the next three years, Tianhe will independently develop more than 200 vegetable varieties, including more than 10 breakthrough varieties."

"Hahaha, I remember it."

The whole morning passed by drinking tea. In addition to talking about vegetable seeds, Guo Yang also discussed with Bi Qiang the expansion and promotion of new varieties.

This time, he separated out new varieties bred in the seed shop.

Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Jiahe Ecology, Jiahe Biochemistry, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Tianhe Seed Industry, and Ji Xiaobai each bear a part of the responsibility.

More efficient and less conspicuous.

There is actually not much involved with Tianhe, sugarcane and beets are the main ones.

In addition, there is still a lot of natural energy left, which he plans to use for emergencies.

More than two months have passed since the CBP seizure of Xinjiang cotton. The storm seems to have passed, but tensions remain high on both sides of the ocean.

It might break one day.

Moreover, with the current domestic productivity, there is a high possibility that there will be a large surplus of vegetables in the future. If we don't cause the collapse of several countries, we will see what the country will become like in the future.
