Chapter 1126: Long drought brings nectar

The successful sale of so many fertilizers and fertilizer production lines naturally solved Suning's biggest concern, and it was worth it for him to be reborn in this era.

After the formal contract was signed between the two parties, Suning immediately arranged for its own shipping company to set off, carrying a whole shipload of fertilizers towards the mysterious East.

The sudden appearance of one hundred thousand ton ships after another naturally caused a huge sensation around the world. Soon, the Su Group's huge transportation capacity brought 10 million tons of fertilizer to China.

It just so happened that this was the first time that chemical fertilizers were used in China during the busy farming season. I believe that the joy after the autumn harvest must be all over the faces of the Chinese people, because Suning is too aware of the outstanding effects of these fertilizers.

On a farm in northeastern China, an elderly man looked at a bag of fertilizer in confusion. "Oh my! What the hell is this? Why does it smell so pungent?"

A slightly younger man nearby actually knew something about it. "I heard it's called some kind of fertilizer, and they say it can dramatically increase grain production after using it."

However, the old man grabbed another handful of fertilizer with a questioning look on his face. "Is this true? Is it really that magical? Hasn't farming always depended on the weather?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we'll just do whatever the farm leaders say. I heard there are even agricultural experts coming to guide us on fertilizing."

"Humph! Isn't it just planting crops? Why would you need an expert?"

"That's enough! Stop nagging! It won't be good if the farm leader hears you."

"Oh! I really hope there will be a good harvest this year. I haven't had a full meal in a long time."

"Tsk! We didn't feel hungry much before. In fact, our life is really good now. You know, we are the masters of our own house now."

"That's right! None of those devils, bandits, and white dogs were good people. They were all fucking beasts."

The same thing was happening in every corner of China. Ten million tons of various fertilizers were quickly used up. Little did they know that this would be the biggest surprise for the Chinese people this year.

After the fertilizer was used up, Zhao Lifeng contacted Suning again and discussed the payment. "Mr. Su, these 10 million tons of fertilizer have all been used. Can we discuss our payment method? After all, we really can't afford that much gold."

However, Su Ning seemed to have anticipated this and said with a nonchalant smile, "Director Zhao, I have a better solution. Would you and the other leaders like to consider it?"

Zhao Lifeng and several accompanying leaders looked at each other in surprise. Then Zhao Lifeng smiled and looked at Su Ning in front of him and said, "Mr. Su, go ahead."

"Because our International Trading Co., Ltd. has business dealings with large supermarkets in various countries, we need to provide these supermarkets with a large number of high-quality products. We can provide some samples to mainland factories for production. However, these products must be produced according to our technology and quality standards and must also be labeled with our Su Group brand. This way, not only can you in the mainland pay us quickly, but you can also earn a large amount of foreign exchange over time."

Sure enough, Suning's new plan excited Zhao Lifeng and the other leaders. Zhao Lifeng looked at Suning eagerly and asked, "Mr. Su, what categories are these products?"

"Hardware, sundries, various beverages and snacks, clothing, and we'll even consider outsourcing our automotive manufacturing to you in the future."

"What? These cover a lot of products and industries?"

"That's right! However, considering that domestic factories may be struggling, our Su Group is willing to provide a certain degree of technical guidance and can even directly provide various advanced production lines to mainland factories."

Zhao Lifeng exchanged glances with the leaders nearby, then excitedly agreed to the new plan. "Okay! We'll accept the production order for this batch of goods. Furthermore, our mainland boasts some of the world's most outstanding workers, and we can definitely produce high-quality products that meet international standards."

"That's great! Our company will soon have various samples delivered to us, and I believe your factory should be able to produce them."

Then, Zhao Lifeng and the other leaders stood up excitedly and shook hands with Su Ning. "Mr. Su, thank you so much."

"You're welcome! After all, these transactions are mutually beneficial. If an agricultural country wants to successfully transform into an industrial nation, it must have a large market for its industrial products. Our international trading company is willing to provide you with this convenience."

"Thank you! Thank you so much."

Zhao Lifeng and others naturally understood what such cooperation meant. It was like giving China's industrial development a pair of flying wings, which would surely allow China's industry to enter a virtuous cycle of rapid development.

You should know that China held the first Canton Fair in 1957 because it urgently needed a large international industrial market, and the order from Su's Foreign Trade Company was like a blessing after a long drought.

Next, many factories in China received the samples provided by Su's Trading Company, and quickly trial-produced high-quality products with the same specifications and standards, and also gave Su's Trading Company the most favorable quotation.

As for those missing advanced production lines, Su's Trading Company also provided them, such as a beverage production line specifically for the production of cola puree, so the mainland factories soon burst out with a very terrifying productivity.

The trading company then transported these light industrial products with the Su brand label to supermarkets around the world through the shipping company under the Su Group, and then supplied them to consumers from all over the world for them to choose, purchase and use at will.

In a newly opened supermarket in Paris, France, a middle-aged white woman picked up a bottle of "Feichang Cola" in surprise and said, "Wow! What kind of cola is this Feichang Cola? How come I've never heard of it?"

Sure enough, a supermarket salesperson came over with a smile on his face and introduced, "Beautiful lady, Fanta Cola is a brand new beverage brand. Not only is the price very favorable, but the taste is far superior to Coca-Cola and Pepsi. If you don't believe me, you can try it here."

"Okay! Since you say it's so amazing, pour me a glass and let me try it."

The product promoter then poured out a small cup of Feichang Cola on the spot and politely handed it to the customer in front of him, "Ma'am, please have a taste."

"Thank you." The middle-aged white woman took the small cup of Coke nonchalantly, took a sip with a skeptical look, and then her eyes widened in surprise as she said, "It really tastes great! I'll have a bunch."

"Okay! I'll help you put it on the shopping cart."

"Thank you! Your service is really great. I will come to your supermarket to shop again in the future."

"Welcome to your next visit, ma'am."

The same thing happened repeatedly in supermarkets around the world. The high-quality products from the Su Group were selling out instantly. These products were simply too good and too cheap, leaving consumers with no resistance at all. ...

Time flies like water, and soon it is the annual autumn harvest season. However, the results of the 59th autumn harvest are particularly gratifying.

All the fields that used chemical fertilizers saw a surge in grain production. Whether from south to north or from east to west, the people of China were caught up in a harvest carnival.

Bai Hui from Lumen City has also noticed the joy of those around her recently. "Dad, I heard that the crop yields this year are exceptionally high. We can finally have a good meal."

At this moment, Bai Minghan's face was also full of smiles and joy. He felt that the land of China was really changing with each passing day. "Yeah, I heard that too. It seems that some kind of fertilizer was used. I didn't expect it to have such a great effect on food."

"Dad, I also asked the expert at our electronic instrument factory. He said that this kind of fertilizer is very effective in increasing grain production. Only some developed Western countries use chemical fertilizers. He also said that we won't have to go hungry here anymore."

"That's great! Haha, God bless China!"

However, the autumn of 1959 was not only filled with joy. Factories throughout the coastal provinces were producing products at full capacity, and all kinds of light industrial products were transported to various docks and then shipped to large supermarkets around the world via 10,000-ton cargo ships.

The railway line is filled with cargo containers, and the most common goods are various beverages and snacks. There are also a large number of clothing, shoes, hats and other products, because these products are the most popular among consumers from all over the world.

"Mr. Su, I'm not sure how much your trading company has helped us. This year's Canton Fair has attracted many new international customers. This year's Autumn Canton Fair alone exceeded $1.5 billion in orders."

"Director Zhao, it's mainly because of the excellent quality of the products produced by domestic factories that we've attracted so many new international customers. Therefore, domestic factories must focus on research and development in the future. You know, the international market is very fast in terms of product upgrades."

"That makes sense! If there are any changes in the international market in the future, I hope Mr. Su and your company can remind us more often."

"Yes! The trade volume in the past six months has also made our trading company very profitable."

"That's great! Also, I've been officially transferred to the Import and Export Corporation. I hope we can continue to cooperate better."

"Director Zhao, congratulations! Our cooperation will definitely continue."

The changes in China are naturally what Suning most wants to see. All industries should experience rapid development, and China's industrial development has not caused any pain to the Chinese people.

Therefore, Suning is undoubtedly feeling very proud at this moment. It will continue to make persistent efforts to place new orders in the future, and it will surely get the title of the world's factory in its hands sooner.

……

Now the construction plan of the first nuclear submarine is going very smoothly. After all, there have been no technical barriers in the construction process. It is estimated that it will take another three years to be successfully built.

The "Water Drop Project" in Lumen City, Xichuan, is also proceeding in a bumpy manner, as if the Lumen Electronic Instrument Factory is not in a hurry at all. Moreover, Chu Huaiqiu, who originally planned to lead a team to Lumen City to join the research and development work, also canceled the trip due to sudden health reasons.

Lin Ranhai, who had just been ordered to Lumen City, looked at the "Snow Wolf" in front of him with confusion and asked, "Ge Yun, what's going on in Lumen City recently? Why do they seem unenthusiastic about the 'Water Drop Project'?"

"Ran Hai, I also feel very strange. Not only did Chu Huaiqiu not come to Lumen City, but even An Wendong, who just returned home, has not shown up."

"Director Kou arranged for me to come to Lumen City this time to urge your intelligence team to gather information quickly. I feel that the development of the mainland has been too rapid recently."

"Ran Hai, isn't this all caused by that businessman named Suning?"

"Oh? Ge Yun, have you also heard of this Suning?"

"I've heard of it! Rumor has it that this person's origins are very mysterious, and his strength is also very powerful. He has placed many large orders with factories in the mainland. Many new factories have been built in Lumen City for this purpose, and many nearby villagers have been arranged to work in the factories."

"Oh? What do the factories in Lumen City mainly produce?"

"Mostly hardware and small general merchandise stores! There are also some small factories producing clothing, shoes, and hats. I heard the benefits in these factories are very good, much better than the hard-working farm workers I used to work in."

"Ge Yun, can we sabotage these factories? We can't just sit there and watch them prosper, right?"

"Sure! Our intelligence team is quite powerful in Lumen City. We can definitely cause some trouble for the factories in Lumen City, but I'm worried about whether it will affect the 'Water Drop Project'?"

"That's fine! Headquarters analyzed that the 'Water Drop Project' might have been shelved due to funding issues, which is why the R&D work in Lumen City is so slow. So, we should first create some trouble for the production in Lumen City."

"Okay! Ran Hai, I'll follow your instructions."

"No! Ge Yun, you should listen to the headquarters again."

However, Lin Ranhai and Ge Yun were unaware that their actions were under surveillance by the Lumen City Public Security Bureau. Jiang Shikui, the captain of the Lumen City Public Security Bureau's action team, looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Director Zhang, we've really caught a big fish this time. Kou Xuesong from the Bureau of Secrets was willing to send his top general, Lin Ranhai, to Lumen City."

Zhang Yan had already lost his patience. These hidden Secret Service agents were simply too rampant. "Hmph! Now that they have so much information, it's time for the Lumen City Public Security Bureau to close the net."

However, Jiang Shikui asked about the key figure, Bai Minghan, with doubt in his mind. He was now almost certain that Bai Minghan was their senior. "Director, what about Senior Bai Minghan?"

"After we take down the Snow Wolf Intelligence Team of the Secret Service, we will have a proper meeting with this senior from the Public Security Bureau. We will also arrest Bai Hui directly. This time, we will definitely catch all the agents in Lumen City in one fell swoop."

"Yes! Director."
