Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

The dramatic reversal at the United Nations General Assembly has spread like wildfire across the globe.

Those arrogant international grain traders in the West were celebrating with champagne the day before, fantasizing that China would succumb to hunger.

The next day, the wine glass in his hand was smashed all over the floor.

Not only that.

This super rice from China is not only cold-resistant and durable, but the rice it produces is absolutely amazing!

After steaming, it has a sweet and fragrant taste even when eaten plain, without any side dishes.

Its texture is even more chewy and springy than the tribute rice that the emperor used to eat, and its nutritional value far exceeds that of ordinary wheat and rice.

As soon as the news broke, the Western public, who had been watching the spectacle with skepticism, were all tempted.

On the black market, a small bag of Chinese "Fairy Rice" that leaked out through special channels was being sold for an astronomical price!

It's expensive but there's no market for it!

Beijing, the high-level negotiation hall of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

In the past, Chinese representatives always felt like they were walking on thin ice when they sat at this long table.

We had to withstand enormous pressure to haggle with those arrogant Western representatives over that pitiful amount of food import quotas.

They even have to endure the various political conditions they impose.

But today.

The atmosphere completely changed.

Minister Li of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of China sat steadily in the main seat.

Holding a purple clay teacup in his hand, he slowly and methodically skimmed the tea foam.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

Sitting opposite him were several blond, blue-eyed Western agricultural and trade representatives dressed in suits.

Their original purpose for this trip was to use the flour and meat they had stockpiled to exert final pressure.

They attempted to extort a large sum of money from China by exploiting industrial equipment and rare minerals.

"Minister Li."

Smith, the leading U.S. representative, cleared his throat, trying to appear calm.

"Regarding this year's grain import quota, we are willing to increase your country's meat supply by another 5 percent on top of the existing quota."

Smith leaned forward slightly, his tone still carrying his usual condescending air.

"In exchange, we hope your country will grant us the rights to mine rare earth elements in the Northwest..."

"stop."

Minister Li didn't even put down his teacup, but simply uttered a single word.

Just as the translator was about to begin, Smith froze.

"Mr. Smith, I think you've made a mistake."

Minister Li put down his teacup, raised his head, and a cold, extremely mocking glint flashed in his sharp eyes.

"We're not here today to talk about imports."

"Our granaries are now so full they're almost overflowing."

Minister Li leaned back in his chair and placed his hands on the table, crossed over each other.

"We're here today to discuss exports."

exit?!

These two words came out through the translator's mouth.

It was like dropping a bombshell in a quiet conference room!

Smith and the other Western representatives' eyes widened instantly.

"Exports? Minister Li, you must be joking!"

Smith chuckled twice, thinking it was utterly absurd.

"Your country has over a billion people, and you can't even feed yourself. What are you going to export? Are you going to sell tree bark that even birds won't eat?"

Minister Li was not angry; he simply smiled slightly.

"Xiao Wang, show them."

The secretary behind him nodded, took out a small insulated container, and opened the lid.

moment.

A rich, mouthwatering aroma of rice filled the entire negotiation hall.

That was rice steamed using the latest harvest of "super cold-resistant rice".

Crystal clear, each grain distinct, they resemble plump pearls.

Gudong.

Smith and the other representatives smelled the aroma and their stomachs were instantly whetted.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling utterly pathetic.

"This is China's new generation of super rice this year."

Minister Li's tone was calm, yet it exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"Not only is its nutritional value five times that of ordinary wheat, but also..."

"Our initial export quota to the international market is ten million tons!"

boom!

Ten million tons!

This number struck Smith like a hammer blow to the heart!

This isn't just exporting; it's practically reshuffling the international market with grain!

Once such a large quantity of high-quality grain enters the international market...

They hoarded and speculated on stale grain and substandard flour, attempting to cut off supplies.

It will instantly turn into a pile of unsellable garbage!

Bankruptcy!

In an instant, images of countless international grain traders jumping off buildings flashed through Smith's mind.

"No...this is impossible..."

Smith turned pale, stood up abruptly, and his legs were trembling.

"Minister Li! You can't do this! It will destroy the international grain market price system!"

"destroy?"

Minister Li snorted coldly, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

"When you imposed a food embargo, trying to starve us, why didn't you consider the market system?"

"What goes around comes around, Mr. Smith."

Minister Li stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at the trembling Western representatives opposite him.

"Now, it is China that calls the shots!"

"Want this batch of super rice? Sure!"

"Exchange your most core high-end machine tools and semiconductor equipment!"

These words were spoken.

Smith slumped completely into his chair.

He knew that the situation was hopeless.

The food weapon that the Western world is so proud of has been used by China in the most hardcore and most dimensional way.

It was smashed to pieces!

Outside the conference room.

Zhang Huaimin, wearing his clean little cotton-padded jacket, stood quietly in the corridor with his hands behind his back.

He peered through the crack in the door at the once arrogant Western representatives inside.

now.

They all lowered their proud heads, and some even stood up and bent over.

He pleaded with Minister Li in an almost begging tone.

I pray that I can get even a tiny bit of authorization for super rice seeds.

This contrast is striking.

This is a truly gratifying reversal.

This brought a satisfied smile to Zhang Huaimin's lips.

"These foreign devils have finally learned what it's like to kneel and beg for help."

Zhang Huaimin didn't look any further. He turned around and left the office building with light steps.

The weather outside is no longer so cold.

The ice and snow melted, and the spring breeze caressed our faces.

On the withered branches of the old locust tree in Nanluoguxiang, a few green buds are faintly sprouting.

Zhang Huaimin walked in the warm sunshine and took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the fragrance of earth.

He looked down at his own two soft, chubby little hands.

"This five-and-a-half-year-old body, although it has many special qualities."

"But after all, it's still a little baby, and there are some things that are still a bit inconvenient to do."

Zhang Huaimin secretly made plans in his mind.

With the success of super rice, the first step in the rise of a great power has been firmly taken.

Now, it's time to truly explore the vast universe.

"If you count the days, her sixth birthday will be just around the corner."

Zhang Huaimin raised his head, a dazzling, cold glint of technology flashing in his clear eyes.

"It seems it's time for a complete system upgrade."

"At six years old, one must have the demeanor of a six-year-old."
