.9ooo1[o]423 Chapter 899 Colored cotton and soybeans

Danb and Cui Qi were staying on the ash surface of the planting base for a long time. In fact, Tian Manhua called him over, mainly to ask for an increase in the scientific research budget. The 500 million invested previously had basically been reported at this time.

"It's really a burning money!" Zhang Qi said in a little amazement after hearing this. "Fan Wubing said a fair word, "The actual research practice has been around for about two years. It only takes less than 300 million yuan a year, and the average expense is less than one million a day. It's not too much. You should know that Mengsandu's scientific research fund is two million US dollars a day, which is incomparable to us."

"You can't say that. Chen Manhua explained next to him, "Although the boss gave only 500 million yuan in special allocation, our actual income, in addition to the necessary equipment upgrades, has basically been invested in scientific research. Overall, the actual investment is about 1.5 billion yuan."

"This base makes a lot of profits, which is more than some listed companies." After Cui Qi calculated, let alone the construction expenses of the planting base, he invested 1.5 billion yuan in scientific research in three years, which is indeed a big deal. This is rare among other domestic companies, not to mention that this is just a farming company, not a high-tech company.

Fan Wubing smiled when he heard this. "What's going on in China's currency company? You don't know what's going on? This little girl has nothing to compare with."

Zhang Qi knew very well what Fan Wubing said. The so-called listed companies of state-owned enterprises are excellent performance in one year, losses in two years, and hovering on the verge of asset restructuring for three years. Three years later, they were flooded by countless new stocks. This historical law seems to have not been broken since the birth of the domestic stock market.

However, Cui Qi also found a problem, that is, the research projects conducted in the base are all plant-based genetically modified projects, and there are no animal-based genetic research projects.

"The research on plant genes is relatively simple, and I don't want to create a large number of freaks in the laboratory." Chen Manhua answered this question.

Fan Wubing didn't say anything about this. In fact, he was also a little disgusted with the problem of animal genetically modified products. Chen Manhua's move coincided with his ideas. However, for scientific experiments, it is indeed a pity to give up one.

But if the plant-based GMO project and animal-based GMO project were carried out at the same time, the investment in funds would be even greater, at least more than three times the investment now. It would be a bit hesitant to use such a large amount of expenses to cultivate freaks.

Fan Wubing’s last meaning is also the best way to sprint for the research of plant-based genetically modified projects, concentrate superior forces to attack one point, and be able to make breakthrough progress in the shortest time.

In the past few years, Chen Manhua has made some achievements here, especially in the research on the genetically modified project of cotton seeds, which has made breakthrough progress.

When it comes to genetically modified cotton, we must mention Guo Sandui, a researcher at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who has made the most achievements in domestic insect-resistant cotton. Before he developed insect-resistant cotton, the domestic cotton seed market was monopolized by the United States Mengsandu Company. Later, his insect-resistant cotton seeds quickly changed this situation. Although the genetically modified cotton seeds of the United States Mengsandu Company still have a market, they are already declining and their market share is constantly being compressed.

In addition to insect resistance, the development direction of genetically modified cotton seeds developed by Fan's Investment Group is a re-study of the generation of heterochromatic fibers.

"Actually, this means that after the cotton grows, it is no longer a trace of unchanged white, but generates various colors according to our needs, and the color difference can be controlled within a very small range." Chen Manhua explained to Huiqi, then looked at Fan Wubing and said, "This is also a difficult problem that President Fan personally told us to focus on."

"Colorful cotton automatically grows?" Zhang Qi asked excitedly after hearing this, "Didn't that mean that there is no need to dye it? You can directly produce colorful cotton thread?"

Chen Manhua smiled and nodded. "Yes, we thought it was a bit incredible at the beginning, but experiments have proved that this idea is indeed feasible, and now we have obtained some relatively satisfactory sample genes in the Jianlai laboratory."

I was very interested when I saw Zhang Qi, so Chen Manhua agreed to take her to the laboratory to see the sample cotton

The security level of the laboratory is very high. Not only does it require identity verification, but it also requires several doormen's inspections. The identity backup of the visitor was carried out in the computer system, and then I entered a room in the Colored Cotton Genetically Modified Project Research Room. As expected, thousands of colorful cotton plants were planted here. The red, blue yellow and purple cottons can be seen, but some colors in color cannot meet the requirements of the researchers.

"There are really colorful cotton!"

"The naturally grown colored cotton is obviously more environmentally friendly than cotton dyed with pigments, but from the perspective of genetic changes, we have not yet come up with a very clear view. Is it good or bad? Chen Manhua said, "So now we are only strictly controlling their growth in the laboratory, just because we are worried that it will affect other crops. We will consider officially launching this variety after the pathological or toxicity test is fully passed.

Fan Wubing is quite interested in this colored cotton variety, otherwise he would not have specifically instructed to conduct research on this project before.

Some naturally grown cottons are dark brown when picked. In fact, Indian farmers in America are very familiar with cotton that are not naturally white, but all of these brown cottons, which are native to America, have too short fibers to be used in commercial use by machines.

American botanist Sally Fox discovered these cottons afterwards, and she was very interested in colored cotton. She patiently cultivated the varieties of cotton with darker colors, and selected those with fiber length and strength that were imitated into fabrics for making clothing, sheets and towels and gloves. She founded a natural cotton color company ten years ago to sell cotton of various colors.

The varieties of animals sold by the company include reddish-brown, yellow-brown and olive-green cotton fabrics.

Since colored cotton is not transmitted through any caustic dyes used in cotton processing technology, colored cotton can eliminate almost all environmental hazards related to woven production.

These colored cottons also have a unique but still unexplainable characteristic. Their color will deepen after initially washing twenty to thirty times and then return to the color in the cotton field, but will never become lighter than the original color.

In fact, China started research and development of colored cotton breeding six years ago, and now it has grown colored cotton with colored colors such as green, yellow, red, and purple. It is leading in the international colored cotton variety improvement. Two of the varieties have been used in field production and product development since the previous year, but it is not very successful at this time and has not been widely used in actual commercial production.

However, considering that the colored cotton varieties of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are not yet mature, Fan Wubing is worried that their patent issues will affect the actual application and increase the production cost too high, so he decided to do it alone. After all, it is easier to start research on genetically modified technology in this regard and the market prospects are also better.

In addition, he also has a large production base in Xinjiang, so Fan Wubing chose this project as a breakthrough in genetically modified technology. It seems that it is quite successful now. At most two years later, I believe that the colored cotton project can be launched on the market in large quantities.

Xinjiang is sparsely populated and has a natural barrier, and can erect a wide isolation belt for colored cotton of different colors, which is very suitable for colored cotton. With this unique natural environment, Fan's Investment Group can easily enter the field of colored cotton. In addition, a number of new varieties with excellent quality and bright colors that have been cultivated can easily pass the colored cotton seed certification of the Ministry of Agriculture and obtain the colored cotton seed patent.

In addition, Fan's Investment Group itself has a planting base and actually controlled cotton imitation factories and wool spinning factories. Therefore, it is very convenient to produce and process colored cotton products in small quantities. It is easy to establish a colored cotton industry chain that integrates scientific research, planting, processing and sales recommendations. Not only can it recover all investments in a short period of time, but it also hopes to obtain huge profits.

At present, the research center is conducting stable genetic research on new varieties such as blue, red, duck egg blue, and research on colored cotton against cotton aphids and bollworms, striving to make colored cotton rich in color and better quality.

Of course, among various research projects, what Fan Wubing cares most is the soybean genetically modified project.

As the GMO project with the greatest impact on people's daily lives, Fan Wubing requires Shen Manhua to have enough patience and invest enough funds in the soybean GMO project. Once this project can make substantial progress, it will not be so easy for foreign GMO soybeans to enter the Chinese market again.

At least Fan Wubing's idea is very clear. If the government relaxes restrictions on genetically modified foods, it is better to make money by asking foreigners to make money. Anyway, it will cost money and not go to outsiders' fields. At least he will conduct group investigations very seriously so that he will not maliciously add any genetic fragments that cannot be determined in the seeds.
