Chapter 303 A Butterfly Flaps Its Wings
After visiting the night market, Ye Zhou was finally able to calmly chat with Chen Hao about the application direction of gene editing technology.

The two sat at the small table of the barbecue stand, drinking cheap beer, and chatting about their future dreams. Because there is no confidentiality involved, people passing by occasionally did not take their words seriously, but just listened to them. When it came to topics such as "genes", "lasers", and "big airplanes", there was a little teasing smile on his face.

In their eyes, this is probably two frustrated young people talking about the fantasies in their minds.

That's fine too, isn't it?

Being humble and not daring to forget about the country is probably the unique romance of the Chinese nation.

However, what they don't know is that every word spoken by these two people may change the pattern of the whole world.

And when they were enjoying the rare leisure time, somewhere far, far away, there was a butterfly flapping its wings.

The wind it whips up will soon cross the sea, and with the help of some people, a storm will be brewed.

And Huaxia is the target of this storm.

……

Yindu, northern Deccan Plateau, Punjab.

This is the main wheat-producing area of ​​Yindu, which exports more than 800 million tons of wheat to the world every year. This export volume accounts for more than 8% of its total wheat production. This year, its planned export volume will even continue to increase.

In April alone, their wheat export volume has reached 140 million tons. If this trend continues, the wheat export volume is likely to reach more than 1400 million tons this year.

A full 75% increase.

Yindu officials have obtained huge financial revenue from grain exports, but corresponding to this is the increasingly difficult life of domestic farmers.

This is a perfectly logical and obvious fact.

A country with a population similar to that of Huaxia has less than half of China's grain production, and even the per capita grain production is not as good as that of the Northern Peninsula.

But in this case, unlike China's crazy import of grain every year, they are still exporting a large amount of grain.

How to get enough to eat has become the biggest problem for farmers here.

Ricksh sat in front of the dilapidated house, with a serious expression and a hint of expectation.

He is an ordinary farmer in Punjab. He manages a small wheat field. The annual output can barely support the next family's life, but it is difficult to eat better and let his children go to school.

But this year, an opportunity appeared in front of him.

Due to the high temperature climate in the world's major grain-producing regions and the special situation of a major wheat exporting region, the international wheat price has been rising all the way, and in Punjab, the local wheat purchase price has also begun to rise.

If calculated according to the current price, he can earn close to 6 rupees at a time as long as he sells all the wheat in stock, which is enough for his daughter to spend in a girls' school for a year.

However, such an operation is also risky for him, that is, if the wheat harvest this year is not good, then he will face the embarrassing situation of having no food to eat. At that time, it will be difficult for him to survive in this barren country .

According to the thoughts of ordinary farmers around him, it is impossible for them to spend this money on the education of their children, but Rekesh’s thoughts are different from them. He has been to the city and seen the world, and knows that in this era, education How much education and lack of education affect a person's future.

So, he wanted to give his daughter a chance.

Thinking of this, Rekesh beckoned and called his daughter to him, and asked:
"Gesma, do you want to go to school?"

The 11-year-old girl looked at him ignorantly, and asked with some doubts:
"Dad, why do you want to go to school?"

Rikesh was choked by this question, he opened his mouth to explain, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

After a few seconds of silence, he replied:

"Don't worry about why, do you know what it means to go to school?"

Gesma hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"So do you like going to school?"

Now it was Gesma's turn to not know how to answer.

She did see rich children in towns wearing school uniforms and carrying schoolbags and passing by the side of the road, and every time she would hide in the fields and look at them enviously, but this kind of envy came more from the Clean clothes on their bodies, the smell of bread in their hands, and the occasional beautiful bicycle.

For school itself, she didn't have much feeling.

Because she didn't know what it was like in school at all.

Seeing Gesma's expression, Reksh sighed deeply.

After thinking for a while, he finally made a decision for his daughter.

"You'd better go to school, at least, you have to learn to count and read."

Ge Shima nodded obediently. She didn't understand where her father's idea came from, but at least she understood that being able to go to school meant that she didn't have to marry someone else early—this was probably all she could think of. Not much first good thing.

Rekesh stood up and walked towards the merchant who was collecting grain not far away.

Just half an hour later, he sold most of his wheat stock for [-] rupees.

Driven by him, the enthusiasm of the nearby farmers to sell grain has also increased. They have no foresight and hardly think about the future. They only know that if they sell the grain at the current price, they can immediately get a big money.

And this money, they can use it to drink, eat meat, get married...

This is a huge temptation.

An experience opportunity that they have never had before is placed in front of them, and almost no one can refuse.

The butterfly has already flapped its wings, and those who will control the storm have already begun their planning.

....
Across the sea, the Office of Strategic Analysis.

Johnson was sitting behind the desk, with thick materials on the table in front of him, and among all the materials, the word that appeared most frequently was "grain".

The analyst stood in front of the screen and explained to a set of data:

"...At present, the price of wheat in the main producing area of ​​Yindu has risen to the highest point in history, an increase of 75% compared with the same period last year."

"However, according to our judgment, in the next period of time, considering climate factors such as easing of high temperature weather and increased precipitation, wheat prices will most likely begin to fall around mid-August."

"From now to mid-August, a total of 8 days is our operating window."

"If we can make good use of this window period, we can completely control the grain market in Yindu, thereby enhancing our control over international grain prices."

"After that, we will release corresponding expectations and force China's grain prices to rise from the international market, thereby inducing the other party to sell grain reserves to stabilize prices."

"And we will take advantage of our capital to buy in a lot-this time it will be our officials who dominate, no matter how much they throw, we will eat it."

"Our purpose is to reduce their grain reserves."

"Maybe this time, the damage to them will not be too great, but as long as we can persist and launch the next shock, their food security system is very likely to collapse."

"At that point, it's time for us to regain the initiative."

After listening to the analyst's introduction, Johnson nodded slowly.

In fact, this strategy is also from his own handwriting, and the logic of his attack in this direction is also very simple:
Energy, food, currency, military power.

Now they have lost two of these four key factors for their side to dominate the world, and the last military strength is very likely to be shaken after the end of this international military competition.

Therefore, they must ensure that the lowest and most critical factor is firmly in their own hands.

food.

In the past time, China's vigilance for food security has always been maintained at an extremely high level, and it has also made quick and firm counterattacks against its own tentative attacks, but this does not mean that its own side is concerned about their food security. The system has no way.

The previous failure was simply because the implementation was not firm enough.

But now, our own side has almost been driven to a dead end.

Now is the time, as they say, to "fight the last stand".

At this time, no one will shrink back—and as long as all businessmen, capital, and farmers unite, the power they can gather will be extremely terrifying.

Johnson is confident that absolutely no one can survive such a force.

And after one's own side completely defeats the opponent in the grain field, the advantages of the other three elements can also be slowly regained.

This is the last chance and the only chance.

Thinking of this, Johnson took a deep breath, and then said:
"I have figured out the situation."

"Then, starting today, we will implement according to the predetermined plan."

"Summer is coming, let the storm blow."

　Thanks to the leader of iuaena for the reward!thanks!
