Chapter Fourteen: You Won't Die from This Beating

  "Mr. Hall! Leather, don't blow it too big!" But then Liang Sanping sneered and said: "When your Anglo-Saxon ancestors were still only roasting meat and gnawing on tree bark, my ancestors had already begun stable agriculture!"

  "In the Book of Songs, which was written in the Spring and Autumn period over 400 years before Christ, there are records of as many as five kinds of grain crops. Among them, millet appears with a frequency of as high as 28 examples, followed by 16 examples of glutinous millet, 16 examples of millet and glutinous millet mentioned together, 10 examples of panicled millet, 9 examples of buckwheat, 11 examples of wheat, and 6 examples of rice! Where were your Anglo-Saxon ancestors at that time?"

  Nelson's face turned pale, and Hawke was speechless. The emergence of the Anglo-Saxons was in the 5th century AD, nearly a thousand years away from the Spring and Autumn period! What else can be said?!

  "From the archaeological findings of the Shang Dynasty, apart from a large amount of millet, broomcorn millet and glutinous millet, there were also wheat, barley and highland barley. In some areas, rice was also cultivated. For example, at the Shang Dynasty sites of Cao Yan Zhuang in Xingtai, Hebei Province, and Tai Xi in Gaocheng, carbonized millet grains have been unearthed. What were your Anglo-Saxon ancestors doing over a thousand years ago?"

  In the cave, they drill wood to make fire and roast meat... apart from this, what else can they do? Oh ~ right, they can also engage in some delightful human reproduction activities at night.

  "This is all in the past, sir. Even if it was glorious, that's still just the past!" Hol spat out, his voice harsh: "What we're talking about is now, and right now you don't have a grasp on advanced technology for agricultural development!"

  Hawthorne was matched with Liang Sanping, anyone who is publicly humiliated will have this expression. Especially these self-righteous Anglo-Saxons.

  They never thought they were wrong, all the mistakes were others'. Even if they humiliated and oppressed others first, they could still stand on the moral high ground to accuse others.

  "'Dwarf leg' South Special early maturing variety, generally yield per mu can reach 350-400 kg. After special cultivation and technical improvement, it can reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu! And its inventor is Hong Chunli and Hong Qunying, two people from Dongcang Production Team, Jinyu People's Commune, Chaoyang County, Guangdong Province! What does this have to do with you Americans?!"

  "What does three-line hybrid rice technology have to do with you Americans?! Nothing! This is an independent invention of the Chinese people!"

  "I also know that you are playing dirty tricks, trying to take advantage of our neglect of intellectual property rights to swallow up our patent project rights?! I tell you, don't even think about it!"

  But then Liang Sanping sneered and said, "Rest assured, I will soon apply to the state for comprehensive registration of all intellectual property rights in our country globally. Anyone who tries to infringe on our patents will pay a price!"

  Nelson and Hol were taken aback! In the US, there is an ongoing effort to register the three-line hybrid rice technology as their own patent. If China wants to transfer the technology later, the US will save a large amount of patent fees.

  But what they didn't expect was that a young man who looked less than twenty years old in the mountain valley would reveal this secret.

  They didn't know that Liang Sanping, who came from the future, had often heard Xia Zhendong's scathing criticism of America's shamelessness. In 1979, we shared our three-line hybrid rice technology with the US side as a scientific achievement based on trust.

  At that time, the US personnel immediately took advantage of China's lack of concept of intellectual property rights and registered almost all of these technologies as patents in the United States!

  This resulted in the US acknowledging only 1 item as valid when China transferred 11 core hybrid rice technologies to the US in 1981. The remaining core technologies were all required to be registered by themselves!

  "I know that you Americans have always been at the forefront of research on high-yielding corn, but I'm not afraid to tell you!" Liang Sanping looked at the two pale-faced men and said coldly: "We're not doing badly either!"

  "In 1970, Mr. Wallace of your American Pioneer Seed Company bred a superior corn variety. Your corn yield per hectare reached 12,500 kilograms. While that year, our corn yield per hectare was only 1,000-1,500 kilograms..."

  "But currently, the latest variety we can cultivate has been confirmed to have already reached a yield of 776.9 kilograms per mu after inspection!" Liang Sanping looked at Nelson and Hol, saying word by word: "We will surpass you!"

  "We don't necessarily need you either! This is the research result of a team leader from an ordinary rural agricultural science and technology team who independently developed it. I believe that in another ten years, he will break your record and even break the world's summer corn yield per mu record!"

  Liang Sanping was firm and resolute, word by word. He was indeed firm and resolute, because later this village farmer who created the corn miracle not only broke the world summer corn yield record but also broke it twice!

  Li Denghai, an agricultural scientist from a rural family in Jiaodong. However, in the later generations of agricultural circles, he can be named along with Yuan Longping, the "Father of Hybrid Rice"! Known as the "Father of Hybrid Corn"!

  In the agricultural sector, two people are known as "Southern Yuan and Northern Li". This old man who is not well-known in the folk, is actually a real billionaire. On April 18, 2005, Donghai Seed Industry was listed on the stock market, and with an issue price of 16.70 yuan, it created the highest issue price for small and medium-sized boards!

  Although his name is not well known to many people, the seeds he cultivated are well-known in every corn-growing household. In 1989, Li Denghai's high-yielding new corn variety - Ye Dan 13 - set a world record for summer corn yield of 1096.29 kg per mu, verified by experts from the National Corn Expert Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture!

  In 2005, Li Denghai's painstakingly researched new corn variety "Denghai Super Trial No. 1" again rewrote the world record for high-yielding summer corn with a yield of 1402.86 kg per mu!

  This scientist who had been cultivating in the cornfield and never showed his face outside broke his own record of high yield by himself, but his record was never broken again.

  "If you're so confident, then I believe you won't need to buy fog machines from us anymore?! This deal is over, and there's no possibility of cooperation between us! You also don't have to think about using any products from our company again!"

  Huo was suddenly scolded by Liang Sanping, and he jumped up in a hurry, loudly saying: "Then you can continue to develop on your own! I'd like to see when you can surpass us!"

  As he spoke, he was about to stand up and leave with a flourish. Liang Sanping, on the other hand, was hugging his arms, coldly smiling at Hool.

  "Mr. Hall, are you really representing all agricultural machinery manufacturers in the United States?! I believe there are still many agricultural machinery manufacturers willing to cooperate with us!"

  Li Sanping was disdainful of Huo Er in his heart, who are you trying to scare? Do you really think that without you, we can't buy a humidifier? Die, Zhang Tufu, I don't need to eat mixed rice porridge anymore.

  Nelson's face changed upon hearing this, and he opened his mouth as if to say something. But seeing the iron-like complexion of Hogg, ultimately nothing came out.

  "Mr. Nelson! Don't bother with him, he can't even get a job as a farmhand! What's the point of arguing with him, given your two identities?!"

  Gou Jufeng also stood up at this time, and saw him bowing his head with an extremely humble attitude towards Nalson and the other person, saying: "You two can rest assured, we will deal with him immediately! We will seriously deal with him!"

  As he spoke, Gou Jufeng turned around and straightened his waist, looking coldly at Liang Sanping and snarling: "I'm telling you, Liang Sanping, now you must apologize to the foreign guests immediately! Otherwise, it will become an international incident, and you will be held responsible! You can't afford to take responsibility!"

  After finishing, Gu Youfeng added another sentence in his heart. Don't think that apologizing is the end of it. If I don't take down you little brat this time, what face will I, Gu Youfeng, have left?!

  Gou Jufeng still didn't know that Liang Sanping had become the production department's clerk, but seeing Liang Sanping following Liu Lao and others out, Gou Jufeng naturally guessed that Liang Sanping was not unlucky.

  "You're just a country bumpkin, I advise you to be more honest!" However, Gou Jufeng sneered and walked closer to Liang Sanping, saying in a low voice: "I'm telling you, hurry back to your countryside to dig up food from the soil and raise pigs! That's the real deal."

  Liang Sanping smiled faintly and didn't say much. What's the point of talking to such an idiot?! Liang Sanping didn't think it was necessary to waste his breath on him.

  But seeing Liang Sanping ignoring him, Kou Jufeng's eyes blazed with even greater anger!

  But before he could act, Hall and the others had already stood up with a cold hum and walked away. Nelson beside him also got up reluctantly.

  "You'll be back begging for my help, Professor Liu!" But then Hol saw him sneer condescendingly and say: "For now, the agreement with Batou is still in effect. If we appeal to the committee, I believe your losses will be greater than ours!"

  As soon as Hall's words came out, the faces of Liu Lao and others changed. Although Sino-US relations have eased in recent years, there has been a lot of cooperation between the two sides. But the BAT still exists stubbornly.

  COCOM is a embargo organization specifically aimed at socialist countries. They will prohibit the sale of chemical, weapon, mechanical... and other products to all socialist countries including the Soviet Union and China.

  Now that Sino-US relations have eased, the US, which hosted BAT, has turned a blind eye to exchanges between the two sides. But if someone were to sue over this, and it was an influential agricultural machinery company in the US, then BAT naturally could not sit idly by.

  "I welcome you to appeal! Really! I hope you go and appeal immediately! Thank you!" However, Liang Sanping burst out laughing and stood up, facing Hol and others.

  This sentence made the faces of both Hol and his wife turn pale. Hol's lips trembled, he let out a cold hum, didn't eat the banquet anymore, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

  Gou Ju Feng saw this and smiled obsequiously as he approached, but was instead stared at with wide eyes, looking extremely awkward.

  Until the two men left with the translator, Gu Youfang, who was ignored at the banquet, finally got angry when he saw the back of Huo and others! However, he suddenly turned around and shouted at Liang Sanping.

  "You damned peasant, you're covered in mud and dirt! What do you know?! What are you even good for?!" Just then, Gou Jufeng gritted his teeth and approached Liang Sanping, who had stood up, like a jackal eyeing rotting flesh.

  Gu Youfang didn't dare to utter a loud word against Ge Tai, no way! If he left the two courts, he still had to be accepted by others. And he even more dared not to utter a loud word against Liu Lao and others.

  Everyone here is a big shot in the industry, and each one of them has a reputation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Agricultural Academy. No one dares to offend anyone here, so they all turned their firepower on Liang Sanping instead.

  When the thunder god beats the eggplant, it's better to pick the soft one! Counting on fingers also knows that Liang Sanping is undoubtedly the weakest among this group of people. Who else would they bother if not him? Besides, it was he who spoke out and triggered the conflict with Huo Er and others.

  Of course, the humiliation of Hol and others is nothing in the eyes of Gou Jifeng.

  "Do you really think that gold can be dug out of the ground?! I'm telling you, even if you dig for a lifetime, it's not comparable to what others can achieve with just one day of machinery!" Gou Jufeng said, pointing at Liang Sanping's nose with extreme sarcasm.

  "But it's just a coincidence that you know some things, and you really think you're something. I'm telling you, this is the life of a digger! Honestly go back to the soil and dig for your food, gnaw on your corn bread!"

  "This is high-tech! Do you understand?! High-tech! Does your kind of hoe-playing know what high-tech is?! Do you know what mechanization is?! Even if you follow your parents in the village and dig in the ground until death, you won't be able to dig out any money! You bunch of dead farmers are destined to die poor! Covered in dirt and still trying to act like a big shot..."

  Gou Jufeng scolded, but didn't notice that his words had already made Liu Lao and others extremely angry! However, he saw Liu Lao and others slowly standing up, coldly staring at Gou Jufeng who was still shouting.

  "Bang!" A fist, a punch landed on Gou Jufeng's face. But to see that Gou Jufeng's words were directly interrupted, and the whole person was directly knocked flying out.

  He stared incredulously as his teeth flew out of his mouth in mid-air, while he himself crashed into the table and chairs with a loud bang.

  "How dare you hit me?! You're a dead peasant, how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?! You..."

  "Bang!" Liang Sanping's face turned cold, and he quickly stepped forward, without saying a word, raised his fist and started punching. Gu Youfeng's words were all knocked back into his stomach by the series of punches. All that was left were miserable cries.

  "You're a damned peasant! You're dead for sure! You're dead for sure......" Gu Qufeng was still shouting, but he didn't notice that even Ge Tai's eyes showed a hint of pleasure.

  "Whoa!" Liang Sanping didn't say a word, and directly picked up the chair to heavily smash it onto Gu Ju Feng's body. Gu Ju Feng's mournful howl turned into pleading cries.

  His miserable wails eventually turned into sobs, with nose and tears dripping down. He pitifully looked at Ge Tai, hoping that Ge Tai could pull away this crazy Liang Sanping.

  Actually, it's not that no one has tried to pull Liang Sanping apart. Unfortunately, everyone just pretended to do so. Who can stand Gou Jufeng's smug face?!

  Here, most people are engaged in agriculture, and your words have offended everyone. And Ge Tai, his family is still a peasant household! His parents are still farming on their land back home.
