A few weeks later, 14 institutions from 29 countries jointly completed the sequencing of the potato genome, which will accelerate the breeding of new potato varieties and help breed new potato varieties with excellent characteristics such as disease resistance, high nutrition and high yield.

The world's total population has reached 70 billion, which shows that scientific and economic progress has improved the level of human life security, but the rapid population growth has also placed a huge burden on global resources and the ecological environment.

At the headquarters of the Global United Organization, an emergency meeting focusing on global resource allocation and food security is in full swing. In the meeting room, representatives from various countries are dressed in formal attire and look solemn, discussing important issues concerning the fate of mankind.

At the meeting, the Secretary-General of the Global Coalition was speaking: "Dear delegates, we have just witnessed a major breakthrough in agricultural technology. However, at the same time, the global population has reached 70 billion, which is undoubtedly a severe test for our current resource allocation and food security system. We must work together to find solutions."

A representative of an African country then took the microphone and said: "Mr. Secretary-General, we African countries have long been facing the dilemma of food shortage. Although the potato genome sequencing has achieved remarkable results, for poor countries like us, how to translate these scientific research results into actual food production is still a huge problem. We urgently need the support and assistance of the international community."

As soon as he finished speaking, many countries sneered at it.

Who the hell doesn't know that you Africans are lazy? You don't want to work but want to eat for free?
A representative of a major Asian country spoke next, his words full of sympathy: "We understand the situation of African countries, and we are also well aware that in our country, although the overall food supply is relatively sufficient, people in some areas are still facing the threat of hunger. We are willing to work with all countries to jointly address this global problem..."

At this point, there was a brief silence in the conference hall. Then, a representative from a developed country expressed a different opinion: "We agree to strengthen international cooperation, but the limited resources are a major problem. We cannot simply rely on increasing food production to solve the problem of food shortage. We need to optimize resource allocation and improve resource utilization efficiency."

This view triggered a strong reaction from some delegates, and there was a quarrel in the meeting hall. The African delegate stood up emotionally: "We cannot just talk about the limited resources and ignore those who are suffering from hunger. For them, every grain of food is precious. We must give priority to their survival needs, rather than just talking about how to optimize resource allocation."

Most people present sneered when they heard this. The “they” mentioned here probably only refer to people from poor countries, or Africans. Which rich country would really be willing to give away its food for free?

The meeting fell into a heated debate, with representatives from various countries expressing their views and positions one after another. Some stressed the importance of scientific and technological innovation, some called for strengthening international cooperation, and some proposed the need to change the existing global resource allocation system.

The Secretary-General of the Global United Organization interrupted the debate at this time: "Dear representatives, please allow me to remind you that we are here to seek solutions together, not to argue. We must remain calm and look at this issue from a global perspective. Now let the representatives of the world's major grain producing countries, the United States, China, India, Russia, and the West, talk..."

With the mediation of the Secretary-General, the atmosphere in the meeting hall gradually eased.

In fact, in the early 20s, the Global United Nations had already begun to provide large amounts of economic and social assistance to Africa.

But after so many years, that place is still terribly poor, only South Africa is slightly more developed.

Although the global organizations and the international community have provided a lot of aid to Africa, this aid often has certain conditions and limitations. Some aid projects may not meet the actual needs and development direction of African countries, but are "investments" made by some developed countries or international organizations out of their own interests. In addition, the efficiency of the use of aid funds is often affected by various factors and it is difficult to achieve the expected results. Coupled with various other factors, countries are actually reluctant to provide aid to such a ghost place.

At this time, Chen Xi was celebrating the New Year at home, and he had no idea that a large-scale food aid was quietly kicked off because of a meeting.

The dinner at the Chen family became inexplicably strange because of the birth of Zhang Xuan and Chen Yifeng's son.

"Chen Deyi, what a nice name. Look at his face, he looks so much like Yifeng." Zhang Xuan held the child, trying to attract the attention of the elders of the Chen family, but no one picked up the child.

Under Chen Yifeng's gloomy expression, Huang Jingfang took the initiative to play with the child in order to smooth things over.

Chen Kaiwen, Chen Mingli and Chen Jingrui were sitting on chairs smoking.

Chen Zhou and Chen Xi were watching TV on the sofa.

At this time, a "patriotic blockbuster" "I Bet There's No Bullet in Your Gun" was playing on TV.

In an old northwestern town, on a dusty street, two taverns stand in opposition to each other. Under the setting sun, the protagonists "Gun King Yan Wudan" and "Cannon God Zhao Dadan" stand between the two taverns, surrounded by townspeople who come to watch the fun.

Yan Wudan looked at the black muzzle with a confident look on his face, with the corner of his mouth raised: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, I bet there is no shell in your cannon!"

Zhao Dadan sneered and flicked the cannon with his finger: "Yan Wudan, are you really that bold? This is my ancestral silent cannon. Although the shell is small, it is extremely powerful. How dare you say that my cannon is empty?"

Yan Wudan pretended to be mysterious. He took out a piece of rag from his bosom and began to wipe the non-existent dust. "Brother Zhao, you don't know that my eyes can see through everything, from cannonballs to human hearts. Don't believe it? Look at the muzzle of the cannon. Is there any trace of gunpowder?"

Zhao Dadan narrowed his eyes and pretended to look at the cannon carefully. The townspeople held their breath and waited. The atmosphere was extremely tense. At this time, Zhao Dadan suddenly laughed: "Haha, Yan Wudan, are you insulting my intelligence or challenging my patience? This cannon of mine was just pulled out of the warehouse. It is full of shells, just waiting to give you a good start!"

Yan Wudan: "Oh, there are no shells in your cannon!"

Zhao boldly pointed his cannon at the person in front of him and said, "Okay, then I'll bet with you!"

Yan Wudan smiled and walked straight to the muzzle of the cannon: "You can try. I have a habit of killing anyone who fires at me, even if there is no shell in his cannon. You light the fuse, and if the cannon goes off, I'm done for. But if the cannon doesn't go off, you will pay with your life and lose a dollar to me!"

"Okay!" After saying that, Zhao Dabing lit the fuse.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the cannon.

"How...how could it be...where are my shells?" Zhao Dabing was so scared that he was shaking all over.

"Here's your shell!" Yan Wudan reached for his crotch, and somehow, a shell appeared in his hand. He used his hand to hold the shell in place: "You lose a dollar!"

"Hahaha!" The two young men in front of the TV burst into laughter.

"Is it funny? This is the name your father gave to you." Zhang Xuan appeared in front of the two men with her hands on her hips.

"What are you doing? You're blocking us from watching TV." Chen Zhou was a little displeased.

At this time, Zhang Xuan brought the child to Chen Xi and said, "Come, Deyi, call me brother!"

Looking at the child in front of him, Chen Xi sneered in his heart.

This kid will grow up to be just like Chen Yifeng, a real acting genius.

When Chen Kaiwen passed away, no one in the family cried, but this kid burst into tears at the funeral, making it seem like he had a deep relationship with Chen Kaiwen, just like Chen Yifeng who cried at the grave that year.

The most important thing is that Chen Kaiwen has never met Chen Deyi many times, because he has been opposed to this marriage from the beginning to the end.

"He looks quite similar to Yan Wudan on TV. I guess he can be an actor in the future." Chen Xi pointed at the TV.

"Yifeng, look. Chen Xi said Deyi looks like that ugly guy on TV!" Zhang Xuan looked at the man not far away with grievance.

Chen Yifeng glanced at his son on the sofa and said, "All you do is watch this kind of stupid TV series every day and laugh like a fool. You haven't done anything since you returned to China. I don't know how much money I would have made by your age."

"That's not right, second brother. When you were Chen Xi's age, you should have been working for his grandmother." The next second, Chen Mingli exposed Chen Yifeng's lie. "Ahem!" Chen Yifeng coughed lightly and said no more.

Qilin City, Yang family villa.

"We've made quite a bit of money this year. The investment company, waste recycling business, and our food factory have made a combined profit of almost over 10 billion!" Yang Dingtian happily announced this year's achievements at the dinner table, but the numbers had been modified by him.

"Xiaodan is sensible now, and has done well in the company after graduation. I believe he will be a qualified successor in the future." said an elder of the Yang family.

On the sofa, Yang Dan was staring at the screen on TV with wide eyes: "Impossible, how could this be a TV series shot by that guy Chen Xi? This special effect, this scene... I clearly saw their filming process last time..."

On TV, "Fights Break Sphere" is in full swing.

Various dazzling special effects emerge in an endless stream, bringing the audience into a bizarre fantasy world.

The grandeur of the scene is beyond imagination. Every frame reveals the ingenuity and ultimate pursuit of the production team. The quality of its special effects is superior to 99% of mainland movies, which is breathtaking.

Not only him, but audiences across the country were also shocked by the production level of this drama.

No... I can't let Chen Xi succeed. I have to find a way to bring him down.

Oh yeah, I figured it out!
Yang Dan's brain was working fast, and he suddenly came up with a way to ruin Chen Xi's future in film and television.

"Xiaodan, why are you watching TV alone on New Year's Day? Come over and have dinner." Yang Dingtian shouted to his son with some displeasure.

"Oh, here I come. I'm watching my TV series that just came out!" Yang Dan quickly changed the channel to prove that he was doing something serious.

"Well, I heard that the filming of the movie was very successful and it was well done this time." Yang Dingtian nodded slightly.

He heard that the film "I Bet There's No Bullet in Your Gun" had aroused a lot of discussion online, but what he didn't know was that everyone's discussion was full of sarcasm.

"Now, as long as you pay these directors and actors enough money, you can let them shoot however they want. I have already talked to the relevant departments, and in the future we will make more patriotic blockbusters like this to tell positive stories for the next generation of young people." Yang Dan patted his chest proudly.

"Oh, Xiaodan has made great progress. He has started to think about his future education. That's good."

"That's right. I think Xiaodan has been very smart since he was young. His brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people."

Yang Dan's grandparents still like their grandson very much.

As for Yang Qing... although she has outstanding abilities, she is a girl after all.

Yang Dan felt a little flattered by everyone's praise, and the food he ate tasted much more delicious.

"Well, um...you have to work hard. I'm closer to Mr. Xu now. You were a bit useless in the past, so I didn't say a lot of things to you. I think Mr. Xu's daughter is quite pretty. Why don't you try to pursue her?" Yang Dingtian suddenly said while eating.

"Ah? That woman is so arrogant, there's no chance!" Although Yang Dan is not very ambitious, he is no stranger to picking up girls.

Xu Yun looked at him as if he were trash, and Yang Dan knew it very well.

"I asked you to try, but you're so timid. Mr. Xu is a big boss. If you can marry his daughter, some of my business projects can be carried out better." Yang Dingtian glared at his son.

"I...I understand. I'll give it a try." Yang Dan said perfunctorily.

"By the way, what's going on with several financial companies? Their revenue seems to have declined recently." Yang Dingtian asked again.

"Well...well...it seems that there are some problems with the medical beauty institution we are cooperating with. I will ask them to find new partners when the time comes..." Yang Dan felt a little guilty after hearing this. His father assigned him some of the loan business. However, he didn't pay much attention to it and threw the business to his younger brother.

Several medical beauty clinics were investigated during this period, so he didn't dare to report the situation to Yang Dingtian.

The Chen family was also having New Year's Eve dinner, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as that of the Yang family.

At the dinner table, Chen Mingli brought up the old matter again, mentioning the matter of the brothers Zhang Yan and Zhang Tao stealing materials. This was simply a slap in the face of Zhang Xuan in front of Chen Yifeng.

Naturally, the two of them broke out into another fierce quarrel.

"It's New Year's Day, can you please not talk about work?"

"Second brother, I think you have lost your mind. You used to always say that you should keep your private and public life separate, but now you are clearly shielding the Zhang family. And you, Zhang Xuan, don't think that you are great just because you gave birth to a child for the second brother. Those two brothers of yours are not clean, and who knows what they will do in the future."

"That's enough. Are you done yet?" Seeing that the other party was scolding everyone, Chen Yifeng slammed the chopsticks heavily on the table.

After this New Year’s Eve dinner, the Chen family gathered separately every New Year.

"Chen Xi, what do you think about this matter?" Chen Mingli looked at his eldest nephew.

"I think a company must strictly follow management systems, and any illegal actions of employees must be dealt with in accordance with regulations. Otherwise, if this precedent is set, anything could happen in the future." Chen Xi didn't want Huade to go bankrupt, so he spoke his mind.

"Do you mean to call the police? I think that's a good idea." With the support of his eldest nephew, Chen Mingli grinned.

Chen Yifeng didn't say anything, but just glared at the two of them.

Chen Mingli knew that his younger brother would not choose to call the police, but just wanted to take the opportunity to attack several people in the Zhang family.

Ever since the Zhang family members were assigned to work in the company, Chen Mingli has suffered a lot.

Every time he mentioned someone from the Zhang family, the other party would use the excuse of being relatives and ignore what he said.

Huade had been reformed under Chen Xi's original suggestion, but now it is somewhat returning to the direction of a family business. (End of this chapter)
