Chapter 513 Confrontation
The autumn mornings are a little chilly.
This was He Yating's first feeling when she returned to her workstation, "I will never step on the spot again."
A colleague nearby heard her sigh and said, "You always say that."
"Today is different."
"What's the difference?"
"I ran into the chairman when I was scouting the location."
"..."
The news that the chairman returned to the company spread quickly within the group. It was like a signal, reminding people that the founder had stepped out of his comfortable life.
Guo Yang returned to his office on the top floor.
The pattern remains unchanged.
You can see the Qilian Snow Mountain and the vast sea buckthorn forest under the mountain.
After a while, Qi Ziwen also came, "Boss, as soon as you showed up, you caused a sensation in the company's internal group."
Guo Yang crossed his legs and said, "This shows that you still need to work harder."
Qi Ziwen was not annoyed. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to sit in this position. He was pushed there by Guo Yang.
I wouldn’t say I’m terrified every day, but I’m definitely walking on thin ice.
After chatting over a cup of tea, the rest of the people arrived one after another for a small meeting on Hongqi River investment.
This was a meeting that Qi Ziwen had prepared before the big boss contacted Guo Yang.
So the information is complete.
In addition to the finance, audit, legal and other personnel from the headquarters, Fang Xiaozhang from Jiahe Biochemical and Fei Xiaofeng from Ji Xiaobai also came.
"The total investment in Hongqi River is expected to be 2 trillion yuan. In addition to the main project, industries along the route and agricultural development in the northwest are also planned."
"And the group expects to invest 5000 billion yuan."
Such a grand move surprised Fang Xiaozhang, Fei Xiaofeng and others much more than Qi Ziwen.
Fang Xiaozhang said: "If we only let Jiahe Biochemical and Ji Xiaobai bear the cost, no matter how much money we make, we won't be able to afford such a huge investment!"
recent years,
Jiahe Biochemical and Ji Xiaobai are also money printing machines.
Strong ability to make money.
The second generation of seedlings of Jatropha curcas and Xanthoceras sorbifolia have been launched one after another, replacing the first generation of seedlings, and their prices have also increased significantly, which can be said to be making a fortune every day.
In addition, income from the processing stage is also increasing.
In addition to the highest-yield biodiesel, various by-products also show extremely high value in medicine.
But what is most commendable is that Xanthoceras sorbifolia and Jatropha curcas seedlings have begun to go abroad, and the growth rate of income shows no sign of slowing down at all.
In comparison, Ji Xiaobai is much worse, but it can also contribute billions of profits every year.
However, even so, the two combined cannot support the huge investment of 5000 billion.
Qi Ziwen glanced at Guo Yang and said, "The boss said that the bulk of the funds will be transferred from Weiguang Company, and Jiahe Biochemical and Ji Xiaobai will mainly participate in agricultural development."
"Ok, that's no problem."
Fang Xiaozhang thought for a moment and then said, "In fact, we can also bring in Jiahe grain and oil. The northwest will be a major granary in the future."
Guo Yang then said, "Forget about the grain. Jiahe will not take the lion's share. This part may be handed over to the National Grain Group."
Under the current circumstances, India and the United States, two major agricultural countries, have successively encountered agricultural problems, and food has become a major killer.
It is extremely beneficial for domestic maneuvers in the international arena.
The higher-ups shouldn't give up.
Jiahe can want to get a piece of the pie, but it will inevitably cause conflicts with Guoliang and others, so there is no need for that.
As long as the Northwest can develop agriculture on a large scale, Jiahe will have to do it. The seeds, agricultural machinery and pesticides needed for so much land are enough for Jiahe to make money.
Fighting for food again would be a bit too greedy and the cost would outweigh the gain.
Fang Xiaozhang nodded, "That's fine with me. All the employees of Jiahe Biochemical have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"That's fine with me too. Ji Xiaobai is looking forward to it too." Fei Xiaofeng also said with a smile.
Guo Yang smiled helplessly and said, "You guys are talking as if you have been waiting for decades."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Being able to participate in this historic event is a rare experience for each of them.
When I get old, I will have something to brag about to the old men and women in the community, as well as my children and grandchildren.
When others mention Hongqi River,
Once: I participated in it that year.
In an instant, he became the most handsome old man in the audience.
For those who participated in the construction of Hongqi River, no matter what their purpose was, they all had a desire to complete this project.
Because the whole world is watching.
Perhaps in decades or hundreds of years, it will still be one of the most magnificent super projects on earth.
With Guo Yang's participation, the meeting went smoothly, and the funding allocation, time nodes, and respective tasks were all divided.
A few days later, Jiahe transferred the first phase of 1000 billion yuan of funds into the account of Hongqihe Group.
And state funds were also transferred in gradually.
The bidding process for the Hongqi River project is also ongoing, and the entire project is divided into four phases.
The first phase is the first stage of the route in southern Tibet: Yarlung Zangbo River - Yangsang River - Danba Qu - Zayu River.
It is also the toughest bone to chew.
The first thing to do is to build a dam to store water, which is at the confluence of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Yangsang River. The west bank of the river is Dudeng, which has been taken over by the army.
Then a super-deep tunnel will also be built from Yangsang River to Danba Qu, but the distance will not be long, only about four or five kilometers.
At the same time, a water storage dam will be built at the confluence of the western and eastern lines of the Chayu River to allow water to flow from the eastern line through the high mountains and valleys to the Nujiang River...
The second phase is to cross the Three Parallel Rivers area from the Chayu River across the Hengduan Mountains.
The third phase is the route that flows into the Yellow River.
Finally, the Yellow River connects the three main rivers of the Hexi Corridor, passes through Lop Nur, and merges into the Tarim River, thus achieving water access along the entire line.
Actually,
Each issue is not easy to deal with.
Any one of these projects alone would be a mega project that makes more than 95% of the countries in the world feel despair.
However, the great Eastern country made a big move.
A super artificial water diversion river has appeared across the southwest and northwest of China.
Possibly the most ambitious engineering feat in centuries.
Such a project will hardly be possible in this century.
This instantly shifted the world's attention from India and the United States, two countries that were suffering, to the great Eastern power.
Environmental organizations strongly oppose it.
The international media reports were extremely shocking and sharp. They were not so active even when Monsanto was destroying American agriculture.
"Is Dongda diverting water from the Yarlung Zangbo River to drain the blood of Southeast Asia?"
“How many lives will be buried by the water hegemony of the University of the East?”
This is a question from the BBC.
The New York Times also published a similar headline: "Using nuclear bombs to transform the Qinghai-Tibet River System is a new era of ecological terrorism."
At the same time, the New York Times also published a special column with a picture of the dry riverbed of Lop Nur: Sixty years ago, atomic bombs were used to create a sea of death, and sixty years later, water diversion projects were used to create a river of death!
in Europe,
The cover story of Germany's Der Spiegel features several satellite images. "The glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have retreated by 12%, but engineers at the University of Tokyo are still frantically extracting water from Asia's water tower - they want to turn all of South Asia into the Sahara!"
"The Hongqi River will be the biggest environmental crime of the 21st century!"
Reuters used a video report, "While Dongda officials boasted about 'the desert turning into Jiangnan', Cambodian fishermen were crying for the dried-up Tonle Sap Lake!"
Compared with the above media,
AFP was more direct.
Under the dark filter, the Dudeng camp was filled with a solemn atmosphere. Fighter planes soared over the Yangsang River, and the dense forest and black current below added a layer of mystery.
"Banditism!"
It seemed as if the whole world was the enemy, and most countries stood on the opposite side of the Hongqi River.
"Construction of the Hongqi River will lead to an intensification of extreme climate!"
“It will destroy the planet.”
South Korea and island countries are also strongly opposing it.
"According to a professor at the University of Tokyo, the Red Flag River will cause 2000 more earthquakes in the archipelago each year!"
Asan, who was in chaos due to "vampire" leeches, competition for water resources, depletion of soil fertility, etc., was even more hysterical.
The Hongqi River water diversion project is undoubtedly draining its blood.
"The blood of the mother river Ganges is about to be drained by the Red Flag River!" - "Assan Christian Newspaper"
"Fakirs in Varanasi protest on a dry riverbed: If the Red Flag River dam is allowed to stand at the mouth of the Yangsan River, the wrath of Lord Shiva will burn New Delhi!"
The global attention has also emboldened domestic experts and social figures who hold opposing views.
Express your dissenting opinions in public or on the Internet.
“Once the ecological chain of the Three Rivers Source collapses, the flow of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers will both stop!”
“Some people keep talking about how much water is flowing out of the country. Do they know that more than 300 million people in the five Mekong River countries depend on this river for their survival?”
An academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences angrily rebuked: "What's the point of bragging about turning the desert into fertile farmland? No matter how much water is poured into the saline-alkali land of the Taklimakan Desert, crops won't grow there!"
There were also comments from private individuals: "The cost of water transfer is 30 yuan per ton, and farmers in Xinjiang have to spend 5 yuan to irrigate one acre of land. Even growing gold would be a loss!"
“Instead of spending the hard-earned money of ordinary people to paint a picture in the desert, it would be better to build a few more Hope Primary Schools!”
The faster the progress of Hongqi River,
The stronger the voices of opposition!
At first, some people thought the country was joking. After all, a trillion-dollar mega project was finalized in just two or three years, which sounded like a rumor.
Now that the bidding has started, it is clear that they are serious about it. If we don’t object now, we may not have a chance.
Looking at these voices of opposition, Guo Yang was sweating.
I don't know if they can handle it.
He couldn't bear it anyway.
At this time, he began to feel fortunate that he had confessed to his superiors. If he did not have the support of special abilities, their superiors would not have taken the brunt of this tragedy.
After the upper echelons found out about it, they succeeded in causing trouble in India and the United States, and with the addition of funding, the upper echelons ultimately acted decisively.
"Now it depends on how the higher-ups respond." Guo Yang muttered to himself in the office.
"Oh, by the way, it's time for the high-performance material to come out. If I hand this over, the people above me will be so excited!"
Thinking of this, Guo Yang contacted Yu Qin and said that it was a high-performance material, but it was actually a plant material, but the seeds were special.
Now it has been planted.
However, the King of All is not very good at materials science and has never been able to get started.
Guo Yang also decided not to hide it anymore.
If we keep it in our hands, we won't know when it will be effective. It would be better to hand it over to domestic military experts for study.
When the higher-ups learned about the new materials, they were very excited and immediately organized people to receive them.
And let Guo Yang not worry about the outside situation.
Earthen chicken and tile dog ears!
The louder you shout, the more it proves that I am right!
Instead, it reveals that the West is strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
In human history, it is the historical norm that big countries determine the fate of small countries.
Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and later Ukraine were all sold out. Only Afghanistan can be said to have the same answer: "You can't defeat them because you are weak."
There is a line in a South Korean drama: It is a great honor to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty.
In the era of cold weapons, small countries still had the power to resist due to geographical and logistical reasons.
But in the industrial age, these are not obstacles, public opinion and morality are just fig leaves. The only thing that can stop the ambitions of a great power is another great power.
And now America is overwhelmed.
Europe and Russia are too far away to defeat them and may not be able to do so.
Faced with numerous inquiries from the international media, the spokesperson responded one by one, with the same bland responses as in the past few decades.
But the Hongqi River project never stopped.
In addition, the spokesperson left a sentence, "The United Nations should consider how to deal with the food crisis."
"China's surplus grain is only open to friends."
With this remark,
South Korea and the island countries immediately became submissive.
The agricultural crisis in India is spreading. Faced with the temptation of profits, Indian farmers are still switching to new varieties of sugarcane and cotton.
The grain planting area has been greatly reduced and the output has continued to decline.
Not to mention it, even our own food supply is in serious danger.
And America,
Even worse,
Right from the start, everything was wiped out, with a nationwide crop failure and production reduction. Only a very small part of the country survived, and it was even doubtful that they could even solve the problem of food shortage for their own families.
These two countries were originally major agricultural countries and important food exporters in the world.
Now, they have all been destroyed at once, and we even have to rely on imports.
In addition, Monsanto's Roundup has also entered Brazil, threatening Brazil's food production.
The only remaining major granaries are in Eastern Europe and the populous China.
This is bad news for countries that rely on food imports.
If China tightens its grain exports again, I can’t imagine what kind of human tragedy that would be.
Therefore, for the sake of food, more and more countries have stood by the side of the University of Southeast Asia, starting with oil-producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa such as Saudi Arabia.
Subsequently, South Korea and the island countries also secretly expressed their requests.
The voices of opposition suddenly became fewer.
However, it still exists, and it mainly comes from within. Faced with the global food crisis, people are also worried about the impact on their own countries.
At the same time, the Golden Harvest threat theory has not dissipated.
After resolving the external crisis, the upper echelons also shifted their attention to the domestic situation.
In the face of a possible global food crisis, the State Food and Grain Administration announced this year's expected grain production.
After years of fallow, the country's total grain output has begun to grow rapidly again.
finally,
It gave a number beyond imagination.
8.8 billion tons!
Still ranked first in the world!
The world's total annual grain output is estimated to be only 21 billion tons, and China accounts for nearly 41%!
In the past, this proportion was about 25%.
