Chapter 2138 - 2138: 2138

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "According to the habits of the Great East Pot, this year's summer grain originally had a poor harvest, but the data they published still showed an increase of several billion jin compared to last year!"

"So, even if this year's autumn grain harvest has issues, of course, according to everyone's data analysis, there will definitely be major problems, but they will likely publish a report saying they've increased production by several billion jin compared to last year, although the increase might not be substantial, right?"

"Saving face at the cost of suffering is something they always like to do. When the real grain shortage comes, they'll definitely increase their external grain imports. Grain is the rice bowl; if you can't fill it, there will be problems."

"How about this, let's use the agricultural and forestry cooperation channel to send the Great East Pot our research report, predicting their future grain production and shortage comparison. Simultaneously, the grain import channels of the Great East Pot are just a few; we don't need to study them. We must choke the grain channels of Balse, and take over the grain export channels of Balse entirely based on our existing foundation. If the Great East Pot doesn't seek to import grain from us, I'll resign immediately!"

All the think tank members couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Currently, the Great East Pot mainly imports small amounts of grain from Balse, with the bulk coming from the United States, Dana Country, Eastern Europe as Kekistan, and the Evil Luo Country.

But now, the world political landscape, economic landscape, affected by Trump's tariff war and wars, the most stable grain-producing regions still have to be the United States, Dana Country, and Balse.

Kekistan has no choice; they have enough grain for themselves and a small surplus to export in exchange for foreign exchange.

The Evil Luo Country is not feasible; affected by the war, the number of people farming has decreased, mainly producing only potatoes and wheat, leaving other types of grain insufficient.

This means that as long as the Wale Republic fully takes over Balse's grain export channels, they'll control nearly one-third of global grain import and export trade, haha...

So, let's proceed according to President Liu's arrangement!

Seven days later, the Wale Republic and Balse's agricultural trade export company fully connected and signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement.

All of Balse's agricultural products, including grain and fruits, were handed over to the Wale Republic for operation.

Everyone knew that Valle People were good at business and generally wouldn't incur losses.

There are two nations in the world known for their business prowess: the Judeans, now the main ethnic group of Jing Rui Lie, known worldwide for their excellent business skills.

But the newly emerged business powerhouse is now the Valle Clan. Haha, do you accept it or not?

What was Valle like before, and what is it like now, and what contributed to it doesn't need to be elaborated, right?

Therefore, the Balse people absolutely trust the Valle. The financial sector related to the Wale Republic saw a booming rise in stock prices due to this agreement! The foresight of capital should not be underestimated because false judgments result in losses, haha...

And just the day after the agreement was signed, while all aspects of the world were optimistic about this cooperation, the Great East Pot's reply to the Wale's agricultural and forestry department arrived.

The Great East Pot used email to refute the Wale Republic's meteorological research report, stating:

"Thank you for your country's research and goodwill, but your meteorological research is just a waste of effort and money, an exercise in futility, or rather, an erroneous judgment, utter nonsense!"

"We don't know what your goodwill is, whether it's international friendship, innate kindness, or something else. Can you research our meteorological and agricultural data, our consumption of food and grain, or do you have many spies lurking in our country? This violates international law and ethics, and we will strengthen counter-infiltration efforts."

"Meanwhile, although our Two River Basin and nearby northern and northeastern regions faced autumn floods and rainy weather, under organizational leadership, we have launched harvesting operations and allocated special funds for grain drying and storage activities. Furthermore, spearheaded by the government, we have organized massive early buying operations, differentiated pricing for wet and dry grain, striving to ensure this year's autumn harvest is completed smoothly, achieving the expected increase in production, at least a 2% increase from last year. So, where is this supposed grain shortage coming from?"

"We advise your country not to attempt to interfere in other countries' grain markets and deliberately create a shortage panic. The friendship between Valle and the Great East Pot is hard-earned; your country should cherish it and not overlook the strength of our great organization; do not underestimate the resolve of national grain farmers to overcome difficulties and achieve a great victory in the autumn harvest! Thank you!"

Such an email is a bit disrespectful, isn't it?

Good intentions mistaken for donkey liver and lungs, right?

Actually, the related departments of the Great East Pot are already covered in gloom, with inner anxiety turning into a ball. Poor harvest, reduced production, these are inevitable. The damned autumn rain comes wave after wave, day after day, sometimes it's sunny and hot, then soon turns to flooding.

The autumn harvest situation is causing quite a headache!

Writing reports afterward on increased production? How to report the data?

The key issue is, it's not just the Wale Republic saying this; the World Food and Agriculture Organization also released a pessimistic outlook report. The Great East Pot is prominently listed as a secondary disaster area for grain, with the shortage index almost reaching a red famine level.

Of course, this report is not allowed to be known by the public inside the Great East Pot. Anything translated and brought back that involves grain will be immediately censored and sealed, immediately!

The issue of food is always a top priority!

Running out of food leads to problems!

Even on the self-media platforms within the Great East Pot, any videos or content published about grain shortages will be blocked immediately! They absolutely cannot be allowed to surface or circulate, as it will accelerate social instability factors!

The Wale Republic did not respond at all to the Great East Pot's censure, simply continuing with their own affairs.

First, the Wale Republic Grain and Agriculture Import and Export Company announced that the global autumn grain reduction is now an expected trend, and related farm product prices are projected to rise by about ten percent compared to the previous year.

This really angered the Great East Pot; their news inflamed people cursed directly: saying some countries' businessmen are simply against humanity, seeing opportunities to raise prices, profiting from famine, as if unaware that one-fifth of the world's population is still going hungry? How can they sleep at night doing this? People are acting, and heaven is watching!

Well, the Great East Pot's true situation has been exposed, unable to be hidden anymore.

Liu Zhizhong and his government did not respond, sneering coldly. We've got a way to deal with those who talk tough!

Secondly, the Wale Grain Import and Export Company welcomes countries worldwide to submit early orders for the next five to ten years, with as much favorable pricing as possible, but slots are limited, first come, first served!
