Chapter 604

In order to get Monsanto's GM products on the market as soon as possible, Karim spared no effort to provide a variety of attractive services, such as free aircraft spraying operations, as well as free agricultural insurance and other promotional means. Monsanto's genetically modified seeds are unique in the world today. It has formed its own technical barriers. If any other company wants to enter this field, it must not use the gene fragments registered by Monsanto. This gene fragment comes from Petunia, the only grass that can't be killed by Roundup herbicide. In other words, other seeds can not use Petunia gene fragments to develop herbicide resistant transgenic products.

Because it is recommended by the farmers association, the price is cheap and the service is considerate, so many farmers have signed an agreement with Monsanto. With the help of Griffith, Monsanto instantly occupied 30% of the market in South Dakota and won its first good start since its listing.

So far, Monsanto's molecular biology breeding Division has not made a profit. However, this does not affect Xie liaosha's respect for this department. At the suggestion of shaeliosha, Karim further increased his support for molecular biology laboratory. Start to carry out transgenic research on all vegetables, fruits and even cash crops on the market, so as to enrich the content of product line and expand the profit point of the company.

Xie liaosha found a new piece of land near Golgi automobile factory as the construction land of the automobile factory jointly owned by Volkswagen Group. He used his past management experience and contacts in the construction of workers' new town project to find a suitable construction unit. In addition, this is a national key project with sufficient funds. So it soon entered the construction stage. In order to control the automobile factory, Xie liaosha selected some people he trusted from the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and Gorky automobile factory. Because he did not really intend to hand over the automobile factory to the Soviet government, but to transform the existing automobile product lines of the Soviet Union, so as to better occupy the Latin American market.

Since chuerbanov's return to Moscow, the judicial organs of the Soviet Union have never visited again. Although Sochi is a place with high mountains and far away from the emperor, Moscow is a place where dignitaries gather. If ligachov wants prosecutors to search chuerbanov's residence in a big way, it will have a bad impact, The old ministers left by Brezhnev would not agree. So Moscow is much safer than Sochi. At least ligachov doesn't dare to let prosecutors take chuerbanov away.

But the local officials who didn't live in Moscow were in bad luck and became the blowers of ligachov, in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia and so on. With the in-depth investigation of the judiciary, a series of corruption cases have been reported to ligachov. This time, under the guidance of the principle of openness, it will be published in the newspaper when ligachov investigates and deals with it. It is also because of the principle of openness that the reports on the former leaders of the Soviet Union began to show a tendency of criticism. Gorbachev and Yakovlev did not have the courage to criticize Lenin. However, from the mistakes and faults of Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and other leaders in power, the media did not take into account the criticism, such as Stalin's national policy, Khrushchev's great power chauvinism, and Brezhnev's connivance for corruption. This has shaken the image of these leaders who were high in the hearts of the people.

Both Gorbachev and Yakovlev thought that this was a good thing. However, these public reports caused dissatisfaction among some ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. For example, the Baltic three countries were dissatisfied with Stalin's policy of great cleansing during the annexation of the three countries during World War II. In the past, because of propaganda reasons, most people did not know about it, However, once this issue is discussed openly, it is tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb on the ethnic issues of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. But none of these can be compared with the impact of the Chechen issue. You know, Stalin exiled most of the Chechens and ingushes to Central Asia in those days. Now the wound has been opened again. Those Chechens and ingushes who have settled down in Central Asia have asked to return to their hometown.

Yakovlev's policy awakened the weakened national consciousness in the Soviet Union, and many ethnic minorities began to care about when their nationality was incorporated into the territory of the Soviet Union. This inevitably involved the cruel history of the early Soviet Union and even the Tsarist period. Since Gorbachev no longer restricted the people's right of association, some groups studying ethnic issues began to set up in these areas, such as the Historical Research Association of the three Baltic States, the Historical Research Association of Chechnya, and the Historical Research Association of Georgia. They are mainly studying their past history independently from the traditional history of the Soviet Union, which means that the history of these nationalities is no longer a part of the whole history of the Soviet Union, but an independent history separated from the history of tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.

The conservative party, likachev, is angry at Yakovlev's behavior of discussing the faults of Stalin, Brezhnev and other leaders. He thinks it will hurt the party's authority among the people. However, with the support of Gorbachev, Yakovlev has become a new generation of grey bishop, and the ideological field has been independent from the terms of reference of the Secretariat. As an intellectual who has lived in Europe and America for ten years, Yakovlev has always felt that there are big problems in Lenin and Stalin's economic policies. He always wants to change and create a new set of theories.

Xie liaosha has been watching the struggle in the ideological field all the time. He feels that the discussion has begun to develop in an uncontrollable direction. The elites of various nationalities in the newspapers have denounced the chauvinism and invasion and expansion of the tsarist Russia and the Russians, which makes the vast majority of the Russian elites feel very angry. They began to discuss the issue after the founding of the Soviet Union, Russian people are subject to various restrictions, such as unfair treatment in joining the party, employment, education and so on. Some Russian economic experts even think that it is because the government has given too much investment to the minority areas that the Soviet economy has problems.

Just as the discussion in the newspapers became more and more excessive, the Uzbek cotton case became the first case of ligachov. Dozens of local officials in charge of Uzbek cotton affairs were escorted back to Moscow by ligachov's men for investigation.
