Chapter 199 Sweep Outside the car window, there was a busy scene on both sides of the road, with roaring machines harvesting corn in Denghai is still thinking about Tianhe’s determination to fight counterfeiting. “Young people are still very courageous!” Yu Long, who was accompanying him, said sarcastically, "You just rely on your youth and like to compete. You will know the pain after you hit the wall a few more times." Li Denghai recalled the series of layouts of Tianhe Seed Industry. Although there were some minor flaws, each step was closely linked. Powerful products and unique marketing have made Tianyu No. 1 popular in the market. It is only a matter of time before Tianyu No. 1 tops the domestic corn seed market. However, the hardest hit area of copycat seeds will shift from Zhengdan 958 to Tianyu No. 1. In order to crack down on copycats, Tianhe chose to take the initiative. On the one hand, they are creating a hot situation, and on the other hand, they are increasing the premium per mu, just like a prostitute who is secretly soliciting customers, but behind the scenes she has set up a trap for them. But those who joined the game were not newly graduated college students, but wealthy wolves and tigers who had come down the mountain. The ending is unpredictable!
After thinking for a while, Li Denghai said, "Tianhe's crackdown on counterfeits is also a good thing for Denghai. There are many seeds in Denghai that have been counterfeited. From the perspective of fighting counterfeits, we are comrades-in-arms with Tianhe." "The chain of interests behind it is too deep." “So we need to unite even more.” ... On the other side, Guo Yang picked up two ears of corn that Luo Xiuxin had broken off from the chair and said, "You have a good eye." Luo Xiu said: "I carefully selected each ear of them, and I guarantee that they are the longest and thickest." Guo Yang looked at the corn cob again and estimated that the length of the cob was more than 30cm and the thickness was more than 5cm. The corn cobs have quite a few grains, and are truly a rare delicacy. "Okay, from now on, these two ears of corn will be put on the car." Ning Xiaojing looked at the tanned boss strangely and joked, "There are so many seeds of Tianhe and Muhe, do you want to take some of them?" Guo Yang shook the corn cob in his hand and said, "It represents different meanings. Corn is one of the staple foods, and its seed demand and sales revenue rank first in the country." “Is rice not as good as corn?” "Yes, among field crops, corn has the highest commercialization rate, reaching 98%. The higher the degree of commercialization, the larger the market size. In terms of sales revenue, rice can only rank second at this stage." Ning Xiaojing was surprised, because he had always thought that rice was the seed crop with the highest proportion in the country. If this is the case, Tianyu No. 1 is indeed the most representative seed at this stage. Although Alfalfa No. 1 is good, you can't put bales of hay in the car. She also touched the corn cob. The surface was a little rough but so smooth. When she took the corn from the boss, she accidentally felt its temperature. Seed Street is not far from the industrial park, and Guo Yang returned to the office after a while. After dealing with work for a while, most things went smoothly. The only issue is that Guannong Co., Ltd. is still deadlocked in selling its stake in Luo Potassium. Guannong wants to sell it to Jiahe at a valuation of 10 billion and a total price of million yuan.
Golden Harvest is also willing to take over. However, a local enterprise in Xinjiang Province took action, and its goal was to control Guannong Shares, and Luo Potassium was the most important asset of Guannong Shares. So there is room for a verbal battle. Guo Yang pondered the pros and cons. Thinking of one of the deck seed information that Tianhe already had, he roughly outlined a plan in his mind, but it still needed to be verified and prepared. But it’s still important to have lunch first. Luo Xiu had already prepared the food. Guo Yang took a look and walked over to the food tray. Jiahe’s canteen is also constantly improving, especially the variety of fruits and vegetables. Vegetable sales can be considered a sideline business of Tianhe, and naturally it also covers the canteen supply of various branches. Guo Yang's focus is on several vegetable varieties of Tianhe. In addition to hot bell peppers, vegetable seeds such as tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, and carrots have also been put on the market. Guo Yang took the plate again, added a little bit of each vegetable, and tasted them all at noon. Except for the tomatoes which were processed and therefore not so amazing in taste, everything else was very good. Carrots in particular were the first time Guo Yang had tasted them. The skin, flesh and core were all a rich bright red and tasted great. Due to the particularity of carrot seed production, seed roots are generally cultivated in the first year. After the seed roots are harvested, they are stored in cellars for a winter. In the spring of the second year, the seed roots are planted and the seedlings are transplanted. It took a long time, and the first batch of seeds was only harvested in late August this year, and they are probably still being sorted and processed. Cauliflower and tomato seeds and seedlings were sold simultaneously on a small scale last year. Like peppers, they were sold by Tianhe Seedlings Company, a subsidiary of Tianhe Seed Industry. As for Chinese cabbage, it has become famous in the market and its seeds are in short supply. The situation is still good. If he remembers correctly, Guo Yang remembers that domestic high-end carrot seeds are basically imported from island countries. After lunch and a short rest, Guo Yang found Wei Guan, who was in charge of seed counterfeiting, and asked, "How many clues of infringement do you have now?" "54 items have been preliminarily verified." Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "So many?" Wei Guan said: "A lot? Seed dealers from all over the country are the most sensitive to the market, followed by small companies that specialize in counterfeiting. Some popular varieties may have their parent materials leaked out before they have passed regional trials. Some of them have even been put on the market before the breeders sell them to the public. Tianyu No. 1 has done a very good job in this regard.” The parent materials of the seeds were leaked before they passed the approval, which is undoubtedly a problem with the variety approval system. Guo Yang had heard about how deep the water was here. But since the birth of Tianyu No. 1, the seed shop has solved all the troubles and guaranteed the safety of the parents to a certain extent. However, last year Tianhe’s seed production area reached 2 acres. Presumably, someone had already noticed it at that time and colluded with farmers to steal parent seeds for private breeding. This year the area has expanded to 10 acres, and the seed production bases are scattered in Yumen, Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places. There will be more stolen parent materials, and farmers will conceal seed production...
Guo Yang pondered for a while, "How many more suspicious ones are there?" Wei Guan said: "There are still more than 100 pieces of information that have not been verified. Ordinary seed farmers are very active and are still providing me with information." "What about those who steal seeds and propagate privately?" “You can only check it bit by bit.” Unauthorized proliferation is the most concealed because many of the varieties are approved, and it is difficult to stop them if they are just renamed. Guo Yang looked at the corn cobs that Qu Yang placed on the table and had an idea. "Field demonstrations are being held in various places. Tianhe can check which growers have a particularly high yield of corn this year, but they didn't grow Tianyu No. 1. They can try to test the ingredients." Wei Guan seemed to be thinking about something and thought that this was indeed a way to do it. The yield gap between Tianyu No. 1 and other varieties was too large. There are not so many high-yield seeds in China. Guo Yang continued, "With the same idea, as long as the merchants and manufacturers advertise high corn yields, we can also check them out." Wei Guan looked at him in surprise, his face full of disbelief. “The scope involved is too huge.” "Since we are going to fight against counterfeiting, we must do it thoroughly. We must record every clue, sort out the most harmful ones one by one, and mobilize the dealers and Tianhe's marketing personnel." Wei Guan was still hesitating. This would almost mean screening all the five major corn ecological zones in the country. Not to mention the people that would be offended, the manpower, material resources and financial resources consumed would be incalculable. Guo Yang thought about it and felt that the noise was indeed a bit loud, so he had to get some people in. The Seed Industry Summit is a must. But just going this way and relying solely on your words will hardly be convincing. It would be best if you could catch a few big fish. "I remember the clues I reported two days ago. There seems to be something going on in Yili." "Yes, it's very serious. The suspected counterfeit brands circulating on the market mainly come from two places, Yili and the eastern part of Mongolia Province." "We have already obtained some evidence in Yili, but it is difficult to defend our rights. In Mongolia, there are still great obstacles in collecting evidence." The eastern part of Ili Inner Mongolia Province is also a high-quality corn seed production base in China. Although the conditions are not as good as Zhangye and the seed quality is also a level lower, the land price is cheap. Guo Yang and Wei Guan chatted for nearly an hour and basically understood the situation of the Yili card set. In Kokdala, which is under the jurisdiction of Yili, a certain regiment-owned enterprise has a seed production base that is suspected of infringing on the Tianyu No. 1. Tianhe has some evidence, but there is no DNA fingerprinting technology or genetic comparison means in the local area, so it is difficult to identify the authenticity of the variety. There must have been obstruction from relevant forces as well. Behind a successful anti-counterfeiting campaign are two major factors: the determination of the rights-defending companies and the actions of the law enforcement agencies. Guo Yang has already decided on how to mobilize the forces of Ili law enforcement agencies. Take a step back on Luo Potassium and exchange pieces with a certain master. Anyway, the players in the deck are all rats, so I guess the master doesn't care.
Guo Yang said to Wei Guan: "Let's arrange it this way first. Before the summit, we will focus on the 54 clues that have been initially verified, and the whole group will cooperate." Next, Guo Yang first convened a meeting of relevant personnel, and those who were away also participated through various means such as telephone calls. Guo Yang personally took charge and Tianhe made every effort to combat counterfeiting. At the same time, Jiahe also contacted the law enforcement department of the Ministry of Agriculture and obtained some verbal support. In short, it had a legitimate reason to do so. After paying a considerable cost, Tianhe joined forces with provincial and municipal law enforcement agencies to carry out surprise raids on seed production bases in Zhangye and other places. Especially those who are the main suspects. Fighting against counterfeiting at seed production bases is the most convenient and effective way. Once it reaches the processing and circulation stage, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, Tianhe acted decisively. Batches of hidden rats were constantly being caught. The processing and storage locations of these infringing seeds were all hidden in the countryside. They were generally stored as loose seeds and were packaged and taken away as soon as the order was placed. But now is the harvest season, and they were caught on the spot by law enforcement officers, followed by quality inspection. Batches of infringing seeds are constantly being seized, and more and more big fish are constantly being implicated. (End of this chapter)
