Chapter 676: The Crying Child Has Milk

Chapter 676: A Crying Child Has Milk

Thai Agricultural Association, Na Kun came to the office of the chairman Song En early in the morning.

President, what do you need from me? Na Kun said respectfully.

Nakun, I've seen the news about the five billion baht purchase of agricultural machinery on the morning news. And the newspapers on the table also published relevant news. You did a good job this time, and your work efficiency is very high. , What I told you yesterday has been completed today! President Song En said.

Na Kun looked confused. He subconsciously glanced at the newspaper on President Song En's desk, and indeed saw the report on the purchase of agricultural machinery worth five billion yuan.

What's the situation? I haven't gone to the media yet, why did it get published? And it even appeared on the morning news on TV? Na Kun was a little confused.

Yesterday, President Song En arranged work for Na Kun and asked him to go to the media to publicize the five billion baht purchase of agricultural machinery.

But as a native Thai, how could Na Kun handle this matter immediately? This is not in line with the efficiency of Thai people.

So Nakun decided to talk to a few media today and ask them to publish a report so that they can communicate with Chairman Song En.

But I didn't expect that before the matter was done, the news had already been published in the newspaper, and it was even reported on TV.

Nakun was a bit puzzled by the monk who was two feet tall, and wondered who was the kind-hearted person who helped him with his errands!

However, in the face of the successive battles of President Song En, it is impossible for Na Kun to say that I did not do this.

So Na Kun nodded quickly, and then said: President, after you handed over this matter to me yesterday, I didn't dare to delay at all, so I immediately went to some familiar media to complete the work you assigned.

Credit is something like that, even if it's not your own, you have to recognize it.

...

At the same time, at the office of a certain evening newspaper in Thailand, the editor-in-chief personally delivered a stranger to the door.

After returning to his office, the editor-in-chief took out an envelope from the drawer and began to count the Thai baht inside.

This envelope was given to the editor-in-chief by the stranger just now.

After clearing,

The editor-in-chief put the envelope close to his body, and then called a subordinate.

Here is a report that will be placed on the front page of the evening paper. The editor-in-chief handed over a report.

The subordinates took a closer look and found that this was the news that the Thai Agricultural Association would spend 5 billion to purchase rice-growing agricultural machinery.

Editor-in-chief, this news has already been published in the morning paper, shall we continue to publish it in the evening paper? the subordinate asked.

Of course it has to be published. We have to let the farmers know that they will have new farm machinery soon! This kind of good thing that benefits the farmers naturally needs to be publicized more. The editor-in-chief said calmly.

Okay, editor-in-chief. The subordinate nodded and walked out of the editor-in-chief's office with the report.

Immediately, someone with trouble came forward and asked: Papan, what is the editor-in-chief looking for you for? Is there another good thing?

The editor-in-chief asked me to publish this report in the evening paper! Papan pointed to the report in his hand.

The news about the purchase of five billion agricultural machinery, didn't the morning paper report it? And I saw that other coal companies also reported it! It's a bit late for us to publish this news now. The other party said.

Remember the stranger who left just now? Most likely he came to give money to the editor-in-chief. After the stranger left, the editor-in-chief asked me to publish this report on the evening paper. Don't you understand? Papan Open your mouth and say.

Agricultural machinery purchases happen almost every year. It's a normal piece of news. Our newspaper reports the news normally. Where can the editor-in-chief get money? the other party asked.

Hey, you really don't understand! Papan lowered his voice and continued; The five billion baht purchase of agricultural machinery is equivalent to a subsidy for farmers. If such a thing is publicized, farmers will definitely support the current government. , which is good for the votes of the current government. The general election is only a few months away, and our current Prime Minister is running for re-election, should you understand that?

You mean to say that the stranger who came just now is a member of Mr. Prime Minister's campaign team? The other party nodded suddenly.

You finally got the hang of it! Papan continued: The prime minister's campaign team wants to publicize their political achievements, but they can't use administrative resources blatantly, otherwise they will give the opposition party a grip.

So they spend their own money to get the media to publish more of this news, so that they can have the effect of publicizing their political achievements and win the votes of farmers.

...

After the stranger left the newspaper office, he left several media outlets, and in the evening, he appeared in Yue Ping'an's hotel suite.

Mr. Yue, everything you told me has been done. The other party said.

No one suspects you, right? Yue Ping'an asked cautiously.

Please rest assured that I did not disclose my identity. The other party smiled slightly, and continued: I guess those people in the media will still regard me as someone from the prime minister's campaign team.

After all, the 5 billion baht order for agricultural machinery is a very important achievement of the current government. If it is publicized, it can consolidate votes in rural areas.

Yue Ping'an nodded, and then asked: The agricultural expert I asked you to find, have you found it?

I have already found it. They received the money and are willing to write articles according to our requirements. In addition, I have also arranged for the TV station. I will do a program in the future. Many agricultural experts will be invited to the scene to discuss five billion baht. How should the agricultural machinery be distributed.”

...

The news of the 5 billion baht agricultural machinery appeared in the Thai media and spread rapidly.

Thailand's rice farmers were elated.

For ordinary farmers, 5 billion baht is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable. Such a large subsidy is undoubtedly a big pie in the sky.

Of course, there are voices of opposition. After all, this is 5 billion baht, which is a lot of money considering the size of Thailand's economy. The opposition party will naturally accuse the ruling party of spending money indiscriminately.

The dog-eat-dog incident of various parties is common in Thailand, and the common people are used to it.

At this time, articles by some agricultural experts appeared in the media, discussing how to distribute rice worth 5 billion baht.

The five billion baht agricultural machinery is all provided by the famous Japanese agricultural machinery company Kubota. The price of Kubota's rice rotary cultivator is more than 1 million baht, while the price of the rice harvester is around 1.5 million baht.

We take a median price of 1.25 million baht, and 5 billion baht can buy 4,000 sets of agricultural machinery. I think 3,000 of them should be supplied to the main rice-producing areas of the Central Plains.

The rice-producing area of ​​the Central Plain has fertile land and is a concentrated production area of ​​deep-water rice. The rice production also accounts for a quarter of the country. It is necessary to vigorously promote agricultural machinery operations and develop the geographical advantage.

Another article wrote: The rice planting area in the eastern region accounts for 40% of the country's total, and it is also the main production area of ​​fragrant rice. Moreover, the natural conditions in the eastern region are poor, so more agricultural machinery should be used to improve unit output.

The third expert wrote: At least half of the 4,000 agricultural machinery should be transferred to the northern region. The irrigation conditions in the northern region are relatively good, and the unit yield of rice is the highest in the country, and the use of machinery is also the most cost-effective.

There are four main rice-producing areas in Thailand, and the varieties of rice planted for different products are also different.

The northernmost area is the northern rice region, including 17 prefectures. The area of ​​rice fields in the northern rice region accounts for a quarter of the country's rice fields. The irrigation conditions there are relatively good, and the planting technology is also advanced. The unit yield of rice is the highest in Thailand.

In the northern rice region of Thailand, close to Myanmar, is Thailand's upland rice planting area, and a little further south, transplanted rice is planted.

The plateau in northeastern Thailand is the rice producing area in the northeast, that is, the area facing the Mekong River in the east. The natural conditions there are relatively poor, and the unit yield is also the lowest in Thailand. However, because the sown area of ​​rice is relatively large, the rice yield is a little bit There are many children.

Transplanted rice is also grown in the northeast near the border with Laos, and direct-seeded rice is grown in other places.

Live-streaming rice does not mean that Internet celebrities open live-streaming to plant rice, but the meaning of direct sowing. The seeds are sprinkled into the soil, and then let the rice grow by itself, without the link of seedling cultivation and transplanting.

This is obviously the most primitive way of growing rice. As a big rice-growing country, Thailand still grows live-directed rice on a large scale, which also shows that Thailand's agricultural technology is indeed relatively backward.

At the same time, by relying on the most primitive technology of direct seeding rice, so much rice can be grown, which also means that the land in Thailand is really very fertile, and there is no need for seedlings to be transplanted, and there will be rice after the seeds are planted. eat!

Moreover, this is a place with relatively poor natural conditions in Thailand, and there are places in Thailand with relatively good natural conditions.

That is the central plain rice area, which is the plain impacted by the Chao Phraya River. It is the real rice warehouse in Thailand, and the rice production accounts for a quarter of Thailand's total. Of course, direct-seeding rice is also grown there.

This may also be the reason why Thai people do things slowly. The land is too fertile, so you can grow food by planting seeds, and you don’t have to worry about eating every day. Who still has the heart to work hard!

The fourth rice production area is the southern production area, which is the narrow area in southern Thailand from the Myanmar border to the Malaysian border. The rice field area accounts for 7% of Thailand, and it is basically ignored.

Now there are 5 billion baht of pie to be allocated, how much to allocate to each rice product is naturally worth discussing.

All rice-producing areas want to get a piece of the pie, and Thailand's various provinces are not idle, and they also want to compete for it.

Then the topic of agricultural machinery distribution, from rice-producing areas, to each prefecture.

A group of Thai agricultural experts published articles in the media one after another, clearly stating how much agricultural machinery each province can get.

Several agricultural experts with different opinions were even invited to debate on TV. Naturally, these experts said that the public is right and the woman is right.

All of a sudden, how to allocate the five billion baht of agricultural machinery became a hot topic.

...

The agricultural expo in Thailand has ended, and the exhibitors are all packing their bags and preparing to leave.

At Bangkok International Airport, in the VIP waiting room, Song Chengde looked around, only seeing Li Weidong, but not Yue Anan.

Song Chengde originally wanted to find another opportunity to show off, but Yue Ping'an didn't show up, so it's not good to show off.

So Song Chengde couldn't help but walked over and asked, Chairman Li, where is Yue Ping'an? Didn't I take the same extension as you?

Mr. Yue still has some business to deal with, so he has to stay for a few more days. Li Weidong replied.

It's probably because you don't want to leave! Thailand has a lot of girls who do massage! Song Chengde smiled sinisterly, and cursed maliciously:

Chairman Li, you'd better remind him to be careful. This country is not as good as the country. Don't contract AIDS and lose your life!

Li Weidong first put on a confused expression, then he suddenly realized, and then said: Sorry, I am a relatively simple person, and I didn't think about what you said for a while, unlike Chairman Song, I'm more experienced with this convenience.

I... Song Chengde was suddenly dumb eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.

Meanwhile, a Kubota representative was in the VIP lounge, watching a Thai-language program on TV.

In the program, several agricultural experts were discussing the allocation of agricultural machinery.

Although the Japanese representative at the head couldn't understand Thai, he could understand the words Kubota when Thai people said it.

This program seems to be talking about our Kubota, what are they talking about specifically? The representative asked the translator next to him who understands Thai.

They are discussing the distribution of agricultural machinery. The translator added: It is our order of five billion baht!

The contract has just been signed, and the things haven't been produced yet, so we're starting to discuss how to distribute them? The representative was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself, is this still a Thai I know? When did it become so efficient?

...

The issue of the allocation of agricultural machinery in the media has been discussed for several days, and many Thai farmers have some understanding of it.

After listening to the fierce discussion and analysis of experts, many farmers have realized that their prefectures may not get much agricultural machinery.

A prefecture can't get many sets of agricultural machinery, so how many can they get in counties, districts, and villages? When it comes to families, those who can get agricultural machinery are probably like winning the lottery!

In a certain village in Ayutthaya, Thailand, before the sun set, the farmer Prayuth returned home, turned on the radio, leaned back on a chair, and began to lie down.

The radio is discussing how to distribute the five billion baht agricultural machinery.

Experts mentioned several places, but Dacheng Mansion was not mentioned. Probably because the land area of ​​Dacheng Mansion is relatively small, so it was ignored by experts.

Prayuth, who was lying on the board, became more and more angry. According to experts, the five billion baht of agricultural machinery could not be allocated to Taicheng Mansion, let alone Prayuth.

Prayut has heard a lot of similar expert discussions recently.

A few days ago, the media reported that there would be 5 billion baht of agricultural machinery to be distributed to farmers. Prayuth was happy for a while, but he didn't expect that when it came to actual operation, he would not have his own share!

Wouldn't that be nothing but joy?

No, why do other mansions have so many, but our Dacheng Mansion doesn't!

Prayuth sat up fiercely, he decided to do something, such as go to Bangkok to protest! Ask the Agricultural Association to allocate more agricultural machinery to Dacheng Mansion, and it is best to allocate one to yourself directly!

Crying babies have milk, now is the time to cry hard!

...

Dacheng Prefecture is not far from Bangkok. Prayut united with other villagers, and then contacted some farmers from the next-door village to protest in Bangkok.

Not only the nearby villages, but also many farmers from nearby counties and districts joined in when they heard that they were going to Bangkok to ask for agricultural machinery.

It was not the busy farming season at that time, and the farmers were also very idle. Instead of lying around at home every day, it is better to go to Bangkok. If you can get an agricultural machine for yourself, it would be a bloody profit!

So in front of the Agricultural Association, more than a hundred farmers from Dacheng Prefecture appeared, and they asked the Agricultural Association to distribute agricultural machinery to Dacheng Prefecture.

President Song En stood in the office, looking at the farmers who were protesting with signs outside, his brows were almost twisted into a rope.

Na Kun, the efficient right-hand man, asked from the side: President, there are farmers protesting outside, what should we do?

The agricultural machinery order of 5 billion baht has just been signed, and the manufacturer has not yet produced it. I come to ask for agricultural machinery now, and I can't get it! Songen sighed helplessly.

President, it's not a problem for these farmers to stay here all the time! It's the slack time for the farmers, and the farmers have plenty of time to spend with us. Even if they stay for ten days and half a month, they may not go back. Nakun said.

Song En pondered for a moment, then said: First find a way to send these farmers away! Tell them that they came early, the manufacturers have not yet produced these agricultural machines, and when these agricultural machines arrive, the Agricultural Association will give priority to Dacheng Mansion.

...

Song En originally thought that he would write a bad check first and send away the protesting farmers.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the number of farmers holding signs at the door increased instead of decreasing.

We all know that a crying child has milk.

What's more, the farmers of Dacheng Prefecture came to hold a sign for a day, and the Agricultural Association immediately stated that it would give priority to Dacheng Prefecture when distributing agricultural machinery, so other prefectures should not hurry up.

Thailand's land area is not too large, only 510,000 square kilometers, about the same as Sichuan Province. This is divided into 77 provinces, so one province in Thailand is equivalent to one county in China.

Thai farmers running from various provinces to Bangkok is equivalent to people from a certain county in Sichuan going to Chengdu. How difficult can it be?

A crying child needs milk, isn't it just crying louder than anyone else!

If more than one hundred farmers come to your Dacheng Mansion, then I will come to two or three hundred farmers; if your Dacheng Mansion holds a sign for one day, then I will hold a sign for two days. I will increase my price everywhere, and I will definitely get better conditions than your Dacheng Mansion.

All of a sudden, farmers who were idle in various prefectures and wanted agricultural machinery rushed to Bangkok to hold signs at the gate of the Agricultural Association.

Two or three hundred people came to a mansion, and in the blink of an eye, twenty to thirty thousand people gathered at the gate of the Agricultural Association.

Although Bangkok is the largest city in Thailand, the sudden arrival of a protest group of 20,000 to 30,000 people was also a big event. At that time, all the Thai media focused their attention on the Agricultural Association.
