Chapter 430 The 10,000-Mu Farm Lacks Seeds; The Chu Family's Deadly Strikes: A Strategic Weapon
The 10,000-mu ecological farm in Qingshui Town has been completely transformed after the overnight construction work by the [All-Area Terrain Transformation Card] and the robotic engineering team.
The originally bumpy land has been leveled and stretched out to the horizon.
The dark, oily soil gleams in the sunlight, exuding the most primal and refreshing earthy fragrance.
Dozens of the latest fully automatic combine tillage tractors imported from Germany stood neatly parked at the edge of the field, like rows of steel behemoths.
The driver's cab was empty; the operation relied entirely on the AI system for automatic navigation.
The scene was as spectacular as a science fiction blockbuster.
Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Jianguo, squatted on the edge of the field, carefully picked up a handful of black soil, squeezed it in his hand, and then brought it to his nose to smell it.
On his face, etched with the marks of time, a genuine, radiant smile appeared—a smile rarely seen in his lifetime.
"Chen-ge'er, come quick!"
Jiang Jianguo's voice trembled with excitement as he waved to Jiang Chen, who was not far away.
"This land is incredibly fertile! It's ten times more fertile than those old plots of land in our village that have been passed down for generations!"
"This soil is so juicy, you could practically squeeze oil out of it!"
Jiang Jianguo has spent his entire life dealing with the land, and he knows what that means.
"As long as the seeds are sown, you don't need to do much; next year will definitely be a bumper harvest unlike any other!"
Jiang Chen walked over with a smile, feeling a warm glow in his heart as he looked at his father's excited expression.
He spends so much money and goes through so much trouble, all for the sake of making his parents proud and able to hold their heads high.
At the farm, hundreds of new employees recruited from surrounding villages and towns are receiving technical training.
Looking at this land full of hope and those agricultural machines that are so advanced they seem like a dream, everyone's face is filled with anticipation for the future.
However, just when everyone was preparing to make a big splash.
"Ring ring—"
A series of urgent bicycle bell sounds came from afar.
Li Suanpan rode his old, rattling bicycle—a 28-inch bike that rattled everywhere except for its bell—sparkling and flashing all the way.
Because I was riding too fast, I lost control at a bend and almost fell headfirst into the irrigation ditch next to me, bike and all.
He scrambled off the car, losing one of his shoes in the process, but didn't bother to pick it up.
"Brother Chen! Brother Chen! This is terrible! This is terrible!"
Li Suanpan ran up to Jiang Chen, his old face ashen, his lips trembling, clutching several faxed purchase orders tightly in his hand.
Jiang Chen frowned and quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Uncle Abacus, catch your breath first, and speak slowly."
"What's the matter that's causing such a rush?"
"We can't be slow, Brother Chen!"
Li Suanpan was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, and his voice even changed tone.
"The payments have stopped! They've all fucking stopped!"
Jiang Chen's eyes sharpened instantly.
"What, the supply has been cut off?"
Li Suanpan shook the purchase order in his hand so hard it made a rustling sound.
"Seeds! It's seeds!"
"We had previously signed purchase contracts with several international seed companies, ordering the top-of-the-line 'Insect-Resistant No. 1' soybean seeds and the 'High-Yield Giant Abundance' corn seeds..."
"This morning, they all unilaterally tore up the contracts and refused to ship the goods!"
Li Suanpan pointed to an inconspicuous clause in the contract, so angry that tears almost welled up in his eyes.
"The supplier sent a lawyer who simply replied with four words—'No comment!'"
"I had to use my connections in the provincial capital to inquire before I finally understood!"
"It's the Chu family! It's the 'Pangu Biological Laboratory,' controlled by the Chu family, that has initiated an exclusive blockade of the dozens of gene modification patents they hold worldwide!"
"They've reached out to all the downstream seed companies worldwide!"
"Not a single seed is allowed to be sold to anyone who cooperates with Jiangjia Village or the Jiang Group!"
"Even if it means paying us ten times the amount in liquidated damages, we'll do it!"
Li Suanpan's words were like a bucket of ice water, poured over the hearts of everyone present.
Jiang Shitou, who had just learned how to operate a drone and was excitedly scratching his head, didn't understand.
He scratched his bald head and asked, puzzled.
"If you don't want to sell, then don't sell. It's no big deal."
"Why don't we just go to the farmers' market in the county town and buy those ordinary seeds to plant? It'll be just as good, and much cheaper too."
Wang Dagou, standing to the side, didn't understand anything about gene patents, but he knew the seriousness of the matter.
He slapped Jiang Shitou hard on the back of the head with his backhand.
"You idiot! Are you stupid?!"
Wang Dagou glared and cursed.
"Are these tens of thousands of acres of land just ordinary land? This is all precious land that Brother Chen nurtured with his divine water!"
"If you plant those low-yielding, insect-prone common seeds, aren't you just turning perfectly good A5 Wagyu cattle into pig feed?"
"That's a terrible waste! Don't you understand?!"
Jiang Chen listened to their argument without saying a word.
But he knew better than anyone else what was going on.
How ruthless and vicious was Chu Tiankuo's move?
This is the true power of top-tier conglomerates.
He won't resort to low-level tactics like fighting and killing.
I won't play that boring game of burning money and exchanging blows with you.
He directly leveraged his legally protected intellectual property rights and genetic patents, which were strategically positioned upstream in the global industrial chain, to fundamentally undermine agriculture at its source.
Do you, Jiang Chen, have unlimited cash? Aren't you afraid of burning through money?
it is good.
Then I'll make sure you can't buy a good seed even if you have money.
No matter how much land you have or how advanced your agricultural machinery is, without good seeds, your thousands of acres of fertile land will be nothing but a barren wasteland!
This is the true, bloodless, and openly calculated scheme.
It makes you watch helplessly as your hard work goes down the drain, without even a reason to fight back.
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the vast expanse of black land before him, waiting to be sown.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the fragrance of earth.
He didn't get angry, and there wasn't even a trace of panic on his face.
He simply let out a cold laugh.
That laughter was filled with disdain, and a stubbornness and tenacity that came from the very bones of this land.
"You think you can starve me, Jiang Chen, to death here with just a few tattered patent papers printed with foreign languages?"
"Chu Tiankuo".
"You underestimate our land of China and the people of this land."
