Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.
Chapter 443: The Beginning of a Confrontation
Sawadee Kapamei Village.
Village chief Badiva felt it was a little unreal when he looked at the yield of the new rice seeds. The village's more than 3000 acres of hybrid rice had an astonishing yield of 430 kilograms per acre after drying, which was nearly 40% more than the previous two rice seasons!
This yield increase is much better than the data promised by agricultural experts from the University of Tokyo!
"Village chief, this year's hybrid rice is really great. Can we get free hybrid rice seeds next year?" asked villager Boding excitedly.
According to the agreement between Dongda and these new promotion areas, the cost of hybrid rice in the first year will be subsidized by Dongda half and the local government half, which means it is given to the villagers for free.
However, starting from the second year, this preferential treatment was reduced, the subsidy from Dongda was cancelled, and the local government continued to subsidize half of the subsidy. In the third year, the subsidy was completely cancelled.
This is to promote the cultivation of local hybrid rice.
However, after this year's per-acre yield was announced, mountain villages that wanted to grow hybrid rice rushed to submit their applications to the local government like mushrooms after a rain, and there was no need for local officials like Supa to give them advice with all their heart.
The hundreds of thousands of acres of hybrid rice demonstrated in Sawadika have all achieved bumper harvests, and the growth rate is almost the same as that in Badiva Village. After all, everything from planting methods to top dressing is now standardized.
With the harvest demonstration of hundreds of thousands of acres, the surrounding people were immediately excited, and other villagers who received the news from newspapers and brochures now have a strong desire to plant rice, which has caused the hybrid rice in the Southeast Asian promotion area to increase several times, and the early target of 3000 million acres was reached ahead of schedule in the second year.
For Ding Wei, who is in charge of this business, this is certainly extremely exciting good news.
But after the news spread, it was like an earthquake for farmers in North America. The Chicago Stock Exchange's successive sharp reductions in wheat futures prices for the following year made these farmers instantly hostile to Dongda's hybrid rice.
York Daily: "The idea that these developing countries in Southeast Asia should feed themselves is outdated. They should grow more economically profitable crops such as coffee and rubber trees to develop their economies. As for food, they can better ensure food security by relying on North American agricultural products, which in most cases cost less."
Wall Street commented: "The hybrid rice produced by Dongda is a destruction to local agriculture in Southeast Asia. The hybrid rice varieties that cannot reproduce themselves are undoubtedly a sword hanging over the heads of Southeast Asian farmers!"
The Washington Post: "The safety of hybrid rice has not been fully studied and tested, and scientists have no evidence of its effects on the human body."
In the world of Bright Sword, strange ideas that have never appeared before began to appear. They were afraid that the people in Southeast Asia would be able to sell their food to the international market after they had enough food.
"Mr. Ding, this is a summary of recent international agricultural intelligence information. Among the news we received today, there are several pieces of news from North America that are worthy of attention." The secretary handed today's collection of newspaper and magazine briefings to Ding Wei. As someone who is now engaged in international affairs, Ding Wei has developed a habit of watching information from the mainstream media of major countries in the world.
This information is naturally collected and organized by reporters stationed locally from Chinese news agencies, and then sent back to China via telegram for reference. This briefing is currently just an informal publication of "Overseas News Summary", which is generally only distributed to major ministries and major domestic companies engaged in foreign trade.
As for private foreign trade companies that need this information, they can also subscribe after certification and approval by the local business department.
It is an informal external window.
After flipping through the information for a while, Ding Wei saw the information that slandered hybrid rice and couldn't help but frown.
Ding Wei loves what he does. Now he is not only a battle-hardened warrior, but also a business giant with broadened horizons in international agriculture. His every move can affect the nerves of the entire international agriculture.
Be it the York Times or the Wall Street Review, these opinions are not groundless. They release these news, which means they have started to act, but how will they act next and how to deal with it?
Ding Wei thought about it for a while, but still had no clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"It's a headache. I should find someone who understands. These things are too troublesome, much more troublesome than war." Ding Wei shook his head, packed up his things, and prepared to find someone who understood.
"These red-neck old hooligans are really sincere and can't keep their composure now." Ren Zhong smiled softly after reading the news.
No one is more sensitive to market changes than capitalists.
The huge increase in hybrid rice production has now gone beyond the borders. If it were only in Southeast Asia, where there are hundreds of millions of people, any increase in production would be almost entirely self-sold. After all, Southeast Asia's per capita arable land area is relatively small in the world, and it is difficult for the country to eat its own food. It is not possible to sell agricultural products on a large scale internationally.
The wheat used in the internationally popular convenience foods and puffed foods they sell is now mostly made from North American wheat.
However, hybrid rice has now achieved success overseas, and its output in Southeast Asia is astonishingly large. Once the scale is expanded, it will undoubtedly have a serious impact on future food prices.
Because after these countries have a good harvest, they will definitely sell their grain to the international market.
"Brother Ren, I think they will start to sabotage it. I just don't know how we should deal with it." Ding Wei asked, "I especially want to know how they will sabotage such a thing?"
"There are many ways to disrupt the situation, and it's hard to prevent them, which is very troublesome." Ren Zhong is well-informed in the main world, but he knows all this very well. "First, they will try to destroy the area we plan to cultivate, and tell the local government with aid or other means that if they don't use our hybrid rice from Dongda, they will get benefits. This is a common method, and they will basically use it. Although this method is old-fashioned, it works quickly and is difficult to prevent. Obviously, we can't compete with the rogue eagles in terms of financial resources."
"Secondly, they will make threats. Of course, they will not directly target the planting, but use other things as an excuse to instigate these local opposition groups to cause all kinds of trouble. They are very familiar with these methods. If we are not careful, it will be very troublesome. Because after these opposition groups are instigated and bribed, they will come forward to incite local farmers to boycott planting, and we will have no good way to deal with them."
"These people are so damn disgusting," Ding Wei couldn't help cursing after hearing what Ren Zhong said about some of the other party's methods. He felt a little numb. Frankly speaking, if he faced these methods, he really didn't have many ways to fight back.
It is obviously a good thing to solve the global food shortage, but it is difficult to implement it smoothly.
The capitalists in the entire grain industry cannot tolerate people and countries who want to fill everyone's stomachs.
"Brother Ren, faced with so many problems, how do we solve them?" Ding Wei asked.
"The first thing we need to do is to conduct extensive popular science coverage of the entire hybrid rice production process, explaining that our entire process is very safe, and that we have not changed anything fundamental about the rice varieties. We have only screened out better superior varieties. At the same time, we will increase publicity that hybrid rice has absolutely no impact on human safety. We must not let these capitalists discredit its safety. This is the fundamental thing." Ren Zhong did not have many clever tricks for these, and could only respond to each move as it came and make sure to defend the edible safety of hybrid rice or hybrid grains.
"Secondly, we must work with the local government to sign contracts and conduct publicity and explanation work on planting. This can only be done in cooperation with the people on the diplomatic front. Although we will not force anyone to do anything, there must be a price to pay for breach of contract. We cannot expect to get benefits from both sides. If there is a breach of contract, we must consider opening up new plantings and conduct a lot of publicity and exposure of the rogue eagle's despicable intentions internationally, and firmly pin the hat of undermining international food security on his head!"
Ren Zhong recalled how we dealt with similar situations in the main world, and began to analyze and instruct Ding Wei one by one. Although these methods may not be able to eradicate the damage caused by the rogue eagles, they can undoubtedly increase the cost of their damage.
After all, we are not trying to seek much benefit in this matter. Overall, we are helping agricultural countries to take food production to a higher level, so that the international food prices can be stabilized or even lowered. This is naturally a good thing for food-deficient countries.
Of course, for Ren Zhong, there is an even more beneficial benefit. After resolving the food crisis, there will be much less conflict in the world, which will promote the development of the entire world in advance and change the situation where Rogue Eagle is the only one in the lead more quickly.
The evolution of the Suez Canal War has made it clear that two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are completely silent. The triangular relationship between the two superpowers and the University of Tokyo is now much weaker than that of the University of Tokyo. Such an unbalanced world is very unfavorable to Ren Zhong's strategic goal of finding the third largest sales market with the help of the developing world.
It is now obvious that the two largest markets for Dongda's industrial products are Rogue Eagle and Continental Europe, and sales to the Big Bear and the Third World combined are less than those to the first two markets.
There is no way. The third world is really poor now. Airplanes and cars are only affordable by a small number of local powerful people. In terms of population proportion, they account for less than 1% of the local population.
"Brother Ren, after hearing what you said, I feel even more depressed. I really can't handle so many methods." After hearing what Ren Zhong said, Ding Wei's head was buzzing. He had never imagined many of these ideas before, but Ding Wei still had no doubts about Ren Zhong, just like Chief of Staff Ye.
"Lao Ding, the world is so complicated, nothing can be solved simply.
Faced with the counterattack of these capital groups, we can only respond accordingly and continue to respond.
We also need to prepare for the worst. We will talk more with Lao Li later. We may have to speed up the rapid response force. Our opponents will not give up easily. They will never surrender to the interests of the entire international grain market. They will definitely instigate something. We must ensure the existence of the rapid response force and be able to dispatch our troops to any place where we need them at any time. "Ren Zhong said.
"What we encountered before was just the tribe's greed. What we will encounter next may be the instigation of various forces behind the scenes. No matter what, we must have a strong force to deal with their challenges."
"Now our rapid reaction force is like a fist. Next, our naval task force will also be formed. With the help of the small flat naval task force's regular cruises around the world, we can also deter many scoundrels who intend to cause trouble!"
In addition to the way of benevolence, the way of the king must also be assisted. For some forces, the truth you say a thousand times is not as effective as a punch.
Ren Zhong is very clear that a world war in this world is almost impossible now. Although the faster rising University of Tokyo cannot yet form a three-legged tripod, it will not be too bad. Under this power comparison, no one dares to easily start a new world war!
Even the rogue eagles are no match for them. Even though they now have the strongest navy in the world, it is useless. In terms of air force, Dongda already has superior combat power within the territory.
Once the J-9 is put into service in large numbers, the air superiority will be further expanded. At least in Asia, Dongda will be invincible!
Therefore, Ren Zhong does not think there is anything wrong with sending military forces overseas to protect the interests of the University of Tokyo.
Both the small flat-bed and large supply ships are nuclear powered, greatly reducing the reliance on logistics, which enables the upcoming task force of the East University to have the ability to carry out special missions around the world. In the face of armed challenges from local warlords, a task force is enough.
"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. It seems my old friend can't stop either." Ding Wei said with a wry smile, "It seemed that we could have a few days of relaxation, but now it seems that we are overthinking. Some people don't want us to rest."
"As long as life continues, the fight will never stop. We now have some strength to get out of here." Ren Zhong said with a smile, but in his heart he couldn't help but sigh at the difficulties of the main world. In this world, after relying on his own sales to master the big killer, no matter what, few people dare to turn against him completely.
"We are also capable of helping those in need. If they are really provoked, we are not soft persimmons that can be bullied. We dare to take action when it is necessary!"
What the two were talking about was obviously shocking in this world, but neither of them cared. To them, they already had the power to influence the world today.
After the small tablet is successful, the large tablet will be launched in full swing. The future world will only be more exciting for them. (End of this chapter)
