Chapter 488: Ah San's Confidence
No one cares about the thin and hard land, and it can still be cultivated next year.

Apart from the highway transport hub of Ahmednagar, Chengdi also ventured to several cities in Maharashtra and even other states.

To be honest, the Indians are not very friendly to the Chinese, especially when the popularity of the Red Flag River in China is growing, a wave of opposition has formed among the Indians from top to bottom.

Along the way, he was targeted too much.

Fortunately, he was following Professor Satnam from the University of Mumbai. Today, Satnam is very well-known in India and is warmly received wherever he goes.

India is a loose federation cobbled together by force, and there is a weak sense of identity among the states.

But agriculture is an important industry in every state, and everyone wants to have higher-yielding sugarcane and cotton seeds.

As a result, Satnam received many invitations, and Cheng Di was able to visit many farms while ensuring his safety.

Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh...

The vast majority of people were immersed in the joy of the harvest, and even if a few people noticed something unusual, they would soon be overwhelmed.

Instead of spending time on this, you might as well curse the Hongqi River a little more.

After secretly observing enough farms, Cheng Di became more and more surprised!
What kind of seed is this!
Although the output has increased several times, the water consumption has also increased exponentially. The depletion of soil fertility can be described as "cutting off the offspring", which is absolutely difficult to recover in the short term.

Either one would be fatal to Ah San.

The struggle over land and water resources among the Indian states has never stopped, and even gun fights have occurred over this.

If the two existing varieties spread completely, it is difficult to imagine the future of Asan, and it is not impossible that it will split.

Where do the seeds come from?
What does the boss want to do?
Who is behind the boss or Golden Harvest?

Cheng Di hid one problem after another in his heart. He couldn't even sleep well at night and didn't dare to contact people from home.

It was not until after New Year's Day, when all of Asan's sugarcane and cotton were stored in warehouses and all of the sugarcane was sent to the sugar mill, that Cheng Di set out on his journey back home.

Only when he finally arrived at Jiayuguan did he completely relax.

The northwest seems a bit desolate in winter, and the sea buckthorn forests on the green Gobi Desert have lost all their leaves.

But when you get near Jiahe’s headquarters, you can always see plants full of vitality.

Just as he was about to enter the building, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the building.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Cheng Di hurriedly trotted, "Boss."

Guo Yang shook hands with him, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go upstairs first, sit down and talk slowly."

A warm feeling emerged in Cheng Di's heart.

After returning to the office, Cheng Di wanted to speak several times, but Guo Yang said there was no rush and calmly made a pot of tea according to standard procedures.

"Have a cup of tea first and take it easy."

Cheng Di drank it all in one gulp.

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Now I can tell you. It looks like it should be good news."

Cheng Di groaned and said, "I don't dare to do a test, I can only visually inspect it, and it shouldn't be wrong. The water consumption and soil are as the boss expected."

"What did I expect?"

"Uh……"

It is true that he was only allowed to observe and the results were not told to him, but isn't this obvious?

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Remember, this is all thanks to Professor Satnam. It has nothing to do with Tianhe or you."

Cheng Di hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do I still need to go back?"

"Scared?"

"Well... I think I'm more suited to research. I didn't expect this to happen before I went to India."

"But you did an excellent job."

Cheng Di was suddenly a little confused.

Guo Yang shook his head slightly. "It's not good for you to just leave and not come back. It will easily arouse suspicion. So we really need you to go back and create the illusion that Tianhe's investment in Asan was not going well and was forced to withdraw."

Cheng Di said: "It's too complicated."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "It's not difficult actually. Tianhe will invest a sum of money, leave a loophole, and let the local government swallow it up, and then they will naturally have a nominal exit."

Cheng Di was a little surprised, "That's not necessary. It's not worth losing a lot of money like this."

Guo Yang pondered and said, "It is necessary to leave something behind. In the future, when we have a verbal battle with you internationally, at least we will have a reasonable excuse on the surface. It should be more appropriate for you to do this. After all, they may have labeled you as weak."

Cheng Di smiled bitterly. The rights to two powerful new varieties were swallowed up just like that. This was a sign of weakness.

Finally he nodded and agreed.

Guo Yang also knew about the current situation in Ah San's country. On the one hand, the agricultural situation was very good, but on the other hand, the anti-Hongqi River wave was rising.

Every time a discussion about the Hongqi River is raised in the country, it will cause fierce opposition and protests in India.

Various television stations, media, non-governmental organizations, and group institutions seem to have found a unified point to vent their conflicts.

Make noise, make noise, make noise as much as you can!

Let's see how long you can make trouble! Cheng Di really came back at the right time, and his timing was extremely precise. The day after he came back, the amount of sugarcane to be crushed in Ah San this season was freshly announced.

The total amount of sugarcane crushed was about 1.92 million tons, and the net sugar output was close to 1300 million tons, both of which increased by more than 30% year-on-year!

The National Sugar Refiners Association of India also adjusted its sugar production estimate for the 2011/12 crushing season to 3500 million tons.

An increase of more than 800 million tons year-on-year!
It's explosive growth!
This explosive growth has also made the whole country of India excited! The national pride is overflowing!
The media, the public, and the government all said that this was a historic moment, a remarkable achievement, and that people all over the world should remember this day.

Sometimes, Asan is mysteriously confident.

The country's leader made irresponsible remarks at an international conference.

"Australia is a super populous country. It ranks first in Asia and third in the world in terms of military and economy. Our Tejas fighter jet is already under development."

"We have also made outstanding achievements in agricultural development. We are the world's second largest exporter of agricultural products. Because we are low-key, we never claim to be number one in the world."

"But it is difficult to keep a low profile now. Our rice and sugar exports are already the world's largest, and cotton is also growing significantly. We will not allow the United States to say that it is the world's largest."

This inexplicable self-confidence is full of humor.

Moreover, Asan always likes to compare himself with China. Now that the sugarcane harvest has been great, he can't wait to let all Chinese people know.

Some Indian netizens frequently post on domestic social media.

"Show the world how rich we are. Other countries will be envious when they see us plowing the land with two cows."

"The Chinese people have no idea how powerful India is now. The Tejas fighter jet can crush the Chinese J-10!"

"I heard that the Chinese have to import millions of tons of sugar every year. How pitiful! Unlike us, we have long achieved sugar freedom."

"There is no doubt that Indian agriculture has surpassed that of China."

"Not only in agriculture, but also in military, India has surpassed any country except the United States and Russia, including China. The Chinese have no say in the competition."

"And the Red Flag River. The Chinese simply don't have the ability to build such a mega project. On the contrary, we are about to build a large number of dams and hydropower stations on the Brahmaputra River!"

One post after another was reposted in China.

Regarding the issues of southern Tibet and the Yarlung Zangbo River, netizens and the public who paid attention to this matter were extremely angry.

They all threatened that real action should be taken.

"Condemn, severely condemn, condemn year after year. What is the J-10 used for? The J-20 has been flying for almost a year, why can't it be taken out for a spin?"

"Coward!"

"I'm so angry, Ah San is about to jump on my head and shit on me!"

But I am speechless about India's mysterious self-confidence. Damn it! They have been bragging about the Tejas fighter for many years, but in the end, the Tejas fighter will crash before it really goes to the battlefield.

However, in the face of Ah San's confident self-boasting, the authorities are reluctant to uncover its hypocritical veil.

The netizens who were fighting against each other were also very troubled and could only leave famous quotes on the Internet.

"Ah, you're right."

“The future of the earth lies in Asan.”

India is very popular in the country and there are endless arguments about it. Although there are various problems, it is a fact that India has made a breakthrough in sugarcane.

In comparison, the domestic market is a bit weak in white sugar, and it needs to import several million tons every year.

Moreover, the increase in India's sugarcane production is due to a significant increase in the average per-acre yield.

In other words, its production cost is lower, which is not good news for domestic sugar factories.

The domestic cost of growing sugarcane and beets has always been much higher than the international average cost. Now the emergence of monsters like India is simply adding insult to injury!
What is even more cruel is that after Ahsan released the data, the international white sugar futures spot price plummeted! It fell like a waterfall!

In just a few trading days, sugar futures went into free fall.

Margin calls are happening one after another, and a large number of sugar mills at home and abroad are facing operational crises.

Faced with possible opportunities, the newly established Jiahe Sugar Industry also started target screening around the world.

In addition, the company is also preparing to build a sugar beet and sugar cane raw material base in the country, once again going against the current during the downturn.

"This is what you call preparation. Are you sure Jiahe is not taking advantage of the opportunity to make money?"

Under the pretext of holiday greetings and inspecting the development of the seed industry, the top leader appeared in Zhangye and summoned Guo Yang in a reception room.

Guo Yang smiled and took out the graphic and text materials that Cheng Di had compiled over the past few days.

"Making money is just a byproduct. If you don't make money, you're a bastard. It takes a lot of money to promote ecological and environmental governance projects, and the purpose of the matter has been achieved."

The big boss picked up the document.

Pictures, text, data, locations...

What caught his attention most was a description: the land will be exhausted in two to three years, and it will be difficult to produce any agricultural products in a few years. At the same time, the amount of water consumed is incalculable. Given the current conflicts and disputes over water resources in various states, there is a high probability of civil war or even national division...

The big boss calmed down and said, "I won't ask anyone to confirm the authenticity. Let's just look at the final result."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "In two years at most, Ah San will no longer be able to suppress the spread of this disease."

"Humph, even if it wants to control it, it can't be controlled." The big leader paused and asked, "If it spreads to the country, is there any way to control it?"
