We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Hailun City, perhaps due to the influence of the Far East, Hailun County established Hailun County-level City last year, two years ahead of schedule.

Coming to Helen City again, Luo Nianzhong clearly felt that it was different from the last time he came.

Not only have the pedestrians on the road improved a lot in terms of appearance, but they even have cars.

But they are not new cars. Most of them are Jeeps and Polar Bear models from 20 or 30 years ago.

Maybe it’s because it’s the end of the year, there’s an endless stream of street vendors hawking their wares, and the line of stalls can be as long as two kilometers.

More people are buying New Year goods, and the economic standards of living have improved visibly.

Such a big change is definitely inseparable from the Far East system.

Since last year, Pioneer Seeds has increased its investment here. Now, there are more than 500 researchers at the Soybean Research Institute here, not to mention the local residents employed, totaling to over a thousand people.

In addition to Pioneer Seed's Soybean Research Institute, Watsons also established a soybean protein research center here in 1985, which is also quite large with more than people.

However, the most important thing is definitely Watsons' supporting industries such as the refinery and feed factory. In addition, all the arable land in Hailun City is planted with soybeans. It is no exaggeration to say that the Far East system supports the entire Hailun City.

These people's income has increased thanks to the Far East, and their living conditions have naturally improved.

Nowadays, the people of Hailun City are definitely the envy of the surrounding counties and cities. Even matchmakers are willing to come here because there is so much money to be made.

We drove to the Pioneer Seed Soybean Research Institute. Because there was no prior notice, only when Luo Nianzhong's convoy arrived at the door did people here know about it.

"Oh, boss, you came at a great time today, we are having a party."

"Party?"

"That's right." The director here, the now world-famous Professor Snape, nodded in confirmation.

"Today is the day when all the researchers return to the institute after the holiday, so we plan to celebrate. It happens that we haven't eaten the delicious food here for a long time, and many people are looking forward to this meal."

They actually forgot about this matter. It was Christmas for these Westerners. Their annual holiday was over and they all returned after staying at the headquarters of the United States for a while.

The local employees didn’t have any holidays at all because it was not the Spring Festival yet.

"Let's go, I'm also curious about what food you are so obsessed with."

Following Snape to the cafeteria, wow, there were thousands of people crowded inside, it was a spectacular scene.

Whether they are scientific researchers or locally employed workers, there is no distinction between high and low here and everyone gathers together.

King crab, abalone and other seafood, chicken, duck, fish and meat are gathered on the table. There is no difference and the dishes on every table are the same.

Let’s not talk about the salary and benefits of these local workers who work here, at least their living conditions are top-notch.

Many people may not get to eat king crabs and abalone of this size once in their lifetime.

"Boss, you really should try this local delicacy. You may not be used to it at first, but over time you will miss the taste and become addicted to it."

Pig-killing dish? Who would have thought that the delicacy that these beautiful Chinese people can’t forget is actually pickled cabbage.

It's not surprising. These beautiful Chinese people mainly eat meat except for vegetable salads. Foods like sauerkraut that can relieve greasiness are very suitable for them. Haven't you seen that German sauerkraut is a famous European delicacy?

Now that we've caught up, there's nothing much to say, let's just have fun together.

Fortunately, the two little girls in the family plan to join a tour group to visit the Shengjing Palace Museum, otherwise this house full of men would really not be suitable for them.

After a night of hangover, I woke up with a severe headache.

Luo Nianzhong can drink a lot, but no matter how much he drinks, he can't stop the many people toasting him.

Tom, a professional drink-blocker? Forget it. Don’t let the flying stick come while you’re asleep at night. Luo Nianzhong is really scared.

I stayed in the dormitory of the research institute for one night. It is called a dormitory, but it is just a series of small single rooms. It can be used as a hotel by building a front desk.

When I arrived at the laboratory, the day's work had already started step by step. I walked into Snape's office, thanked him for the coffee he brought me, and took a sip, feeling much more comfortable.

"Tell me the details. In the briefing, just say that there has been a major discovery and ask me to come over as soon as possible."

Snape didn't say anything, but opened the door and walked out. A few minutes later, he came back with a checkered tray full of soybeans, just like the last time he came.

After placing the tray on the table in front of Luo Nianzhong, Snape sat down and spoke.

“Remember the No. 19 soybean from more than three years ago?”

“The high-yielding variety?”

Luo Nianzhong still remembers this incident clearly. At that time, three types of soybeans were developed that performed well, including the high-oil No. 11, the high-protein No. 6, and the tested high-yield No. 19.

I remember that I took out a reward of 10 million US dollars to reward these people for their achievements.

“Yes, we have been continuously improving the No. 19 soybeans over the years, but the results are not satisfactory.

Last year, a laboratory in the United States successfully developed genetically modified soybeans, but the yield per mu was very low. Just to give it a try, I performed a genetic recombination between No. 19 soybeans and genetically modified soybeans.

You won’t believe the result. The two soybeans are a perfect match made in heaven. A few months ago, we tried to plant a few acres of land and had a good harvest, with an output of more than 480 kilograms per acre."

Luo Nianzhong knew about this. More than a month ago, at the end of the year, Pioneer Seeds' CEO Rodrigo reported this to him.

Now this batch of soybeans has been airlifted back to the United States, and will be planted on a large scale in Colorado after a while for final testing.

Snape couldn't have called me here in such a hurry just for this matter. He must have discovered something else.

Sure enough, Snape continued.

"In addition to the genetically modified soybean I named Helen No. 19, a researcher at the institute used No. , a newly discovered wild soybean, and a wild variety from the polar bears to breed it.

Boss, under our careful care, guess how much the yield per mu can reach?"

Unexpectedly, Snape also played the tactic of playing hard to get. However, Luo Nianzhong was in no mood to accompany this old white man to guess these things. He rubbed his head which was still a little aching and told him to speak quickly.

Snape shrugged his shoulders, made a helpless expression and said seriously.

"His yield per mu reaches about 400 kilograms."

Luo Nianzhong frowned. As non-GMO soybeans, this was a good breakthrough, but there was no need to rush for him to make a visit.

"And this new variety contains more than 40% protein, which is already very valuable."

That's fine, but it's not a good enough reason.

"The most important thing is that it seems to be very cold-resistant. Although there is no specific data to support it now, our inference is that there should be no problem if the temperature drops by 8 to 10 degrees."

This sentence made Luo Nianzhong's eyes widen, and he asked in disbelief, "How did you find out? Why do you say it's just a speculation?"

“Hailun’s soybeans are usually planted in late April or early May, with a growth cycle of about 120 days, which means they mature in late August or early September.

But for some reasons, we only planted this variety of soybeans in mid-June, and the area was very small, only half an acre."

Luo Nianzhong immediately grasped the key point: "What is the temperature here in October?"

“The average temperature during the day is around 12 degrees and around zero degrees at night.

However, when we harvested in mid-October, the temperature was still below zero, around 2 degrees, but we did not find any effect on the new variety."

If it is true as Snape said, then the polar bear Far East region will undoubtedly increase the area that can be cultivated, and the output of tens of millions of tons is inevitable, or even tens of millions of tons.

With food in hand, there is no need to worry. With more bullets, the Luo family's voice in the future soybean industry will undoubtedly increase a lot.

“So, I’ll keep half of this batch of soybean seeds for the experiment, and I’ll have someone pick up the rest in two days.

Since it is cold-resistant, I think planting it in a colder place will allow me to draw better conclusions.

When the time comes, you can send a few researchers to the Far East. Don't worry, your safety is absolutely guaranteed."
