Leonie thought seriously for a long time: "You didn't just say that just to ask me to accompany you, right?"
"It does mean something like that." Wang Ai scratched his face in embarrassment: "But it's actually a kind of rotation. In the past, we did horizontal rotation. This is vertical rotation. Can you go up or down? You are still young anyway, right?
?"
Leonie thought again: "Why didn't you say it before?"
"Before..." Wang Ai was embarrassed again: "Before, our relationship was not settled, and I wanted to tell you to come down, but you might have misunderstood. Now we are a family, what does it matter if we go up or down as a family?
As long as you figure it out, that's fine. There's no need to remove you, right?"
Seeing that Leonie was still hesitating, Wang Ai smiled and said: "I'm just giving you a suggestion, not a request. If you are willing to do it, my parents will be very happy to have you as a right-hand man. But I will give you two suggestions.
Here’s an example, think about it yourself.”
"you say."
"Have your family studied the case of Steve Jobs returning to Apple?"
"Well, after Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he increased research and development efforts, causing Apple's market value to continue to rise, and eventually it became a great company." Leonie thought about it and said, "Mr. Wang used this to educate us, so that the company at home can also
Take the high-tech route. The annual R&D investment in papermaking has reached 5%. We are a low-profit manufacturing industry, and the food industry is similar. Selective breeding has already started from the genetic level."
"genetically modified?"
"No." Leonie shook her head: "Hybrid technology, didn't you say you should be cautious about genetic modification?"
"Yes." Wang Ai sighed: "The future of genetically modified genes is bright, but the road must be tortuous. Any new thing is bound to not be smooth sailing, but the problem is that diseases enter through the mouth, so you must be careful about what you eat.
Yes, we cannot afford unexpected losses."
"But……"
Wang Ai shook his head: "Since the saying that those who make missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, our Chinese scientific community has gone to the other extreme. Scientific ethics in many fields have been abandoned and regarded as old-fashioned. However, China's annual
Document No. 1 is all about agriculture, you know, right? I’ve heard a lot about them, such as knocking out a pest gene or something. On the surface, of course it will lead to high growth, but..."
Wang Ai made a gesture: "Just like the hillside, this grassland, and these weeds in front of us, after tens of thousands of years of cruel natural selection, they must be suitable for their survival in all aspects. We see it
With all kinds of imperfections, how do you know that it is actually a kind of perfection? For example, if the fruit is sweet and juicy, animals will eat it, helping it spread its seeds, and then the plant species will reproduce. Suppose there was a plant in history
, a stone shell has grown on its seeds. Indeed, no animals can harm its seeds, but its seeds cannot be spread. Look, what is perfection? Sometimes, perfection is just a kind of imperfection.
.”
"You mean..."
"Mad scientists have always been feared by Hollywood. In fact, they are indeed worthy of fear. What do scientists say? You can't survive without being crazy, but they have huge energy. For example, those who engage in genetic modification will definitely seek a perfect species, or a god species.
. But can they compare to the billions of years of attempts in the earth's biosphere? Why is there still no divine species? Because the divine species must have major flaws. In this biosphere and the food chain, every link is
And if you make a round one that bites back and forth, and no one can bite it, then the chain it belongs to will be broken, and in the end it will perish."
Leonie pressed her hands on the feet of a pair of leather boots: "If the horse runs wildly, it is very likely that a near-perfect species will appear with high yields and low cost in the short term. Then, when nature reproduces its natural enemies or its own hidden dangers
When an outbreak occurs, although I believe humans will definitely find solutions, food output will definitely fluctuate dramatically in the short term. But China has more people and less land, and cannot withstand such a torment, is that what you mean?"
"Yes." Wang Ai looked at the hillside in front of him: "Some scientists are indeed sincere, but scientists are also a profession, and it also has its own paranoia and narrow-mindedness. For example, many scientists will say that science is higher than life, which generally means that
I am willing to dedicate myself to science, but this has another meaning, that is, science is also higher than other people’s lives. I believe that all human food will be genetically modified in the future, but it cannot be eliminated. The food issue is too important and must be
We must be cautious and proceed step by step. Unlike the United States, China has a large amount of land as a reserve. Even if genetically modified areas fail, it does not matter. If the rest of the land is reclaimed, Americans will not starve to death. But China cannot do that. China has no reserves.
Land, especially with so many of us.”
"Okay." Leonie understood, and then asked strangely: "Why are we talking about this?"
"I'm worried. Originally, scientists have a very high status in the minds of the masses, but on this issue, scientists' paranoia and people's conservatism will clash fiercely, which is detrimental to the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education." Speaking of this,
Wang Ai smiled bitterly: "I can't control it. I've only been studying agriculture for more than two years. I can only ask our family's company not to get involved in this matter and to use traditional selective breeding methods. I'd rather go slower."
After Wang Ai finished speaking, he thought for a while, "Let me continue what I just said. For the second example, do you know that there is a thirteenth elder brother in "Yongzheng Dynasty"? Historically, this man has been watching politics for a long time. After his fourth brother became the emperor,
He just came out of the profession, but once he started doing anything, he was an incredible talent. If you look at this and Steve Jobs together, you can come to a conclusion. To train your management skills, you don’t necessarily have to focus on business every day and step out to observe.
Learning is also a way."
"Well..." Leonie hit Wang Ai on the face with her forehead: "If you want to remove me, you have to compensate me!"
"What compensation? I gave you my body."
"It's not fun. If you're tired of it, try something else."
"what?"
Leonie licked her lips slyly and whispered in Wang Ai's ear: "Are you here? Let's have a show under the covers?"
Wang Ai said in surprise: "Are you crazy? Then you can't let others see it?"
"Who can see it? It's so dark? Look, the moon is hidden behind the clouds. It's such a rare opportunity!"
Wang Ai remained silent, and Leonie urged: "Do you want to do it or not? I finally got into the mood."
Wang Ai looked serious and frowned: "Do it!"
Then he immediately added: "But you have to keep your voice down, it's too quiet, don't let the neighbors hear... Hey, don't take off my clothes, I will take them off myself..."
