Galaxy Technology Empire

Chapter 336 Dry Lake

Nearly two months have passed since the Queensland government restricted water use on farms around Lake Yamayama.

In the past two months, only the local government carried out artificial rainfall twice, but the amount of rainfall in those two artificial rainfalls was nothing more than a drop in the bucket - of no avail.

Barton Farm, the farmer Barton family is almost desperate now, because Lake Yamayama completely dried up yesterday.

Although the deepwater well he applied for has been approved, the vast majority of the groundwater in the Great Artesian Basin is salt water.

Anyway, he was very unlucky. He dug three wells on his farm, and all of them produced salty water.

Today is his last time to dig a well. The previous three wells have cost Barton a lot of money. He can only place his hope on the last well. If there is no fresh water this time, his farm can only wait for God to do it as soon as possible. rain.

If God doesn't rain soon, all the livestock on his farm will have to be sold, otherwise the only way to go bankrupt is to wait for him.

Even if they sell all their livestock, Barton will still lose a lot of money, mainly because the livestock prices this year are so low that they doubt their life.

The impact of the trade war and the stock market crash is huge. Tu'ao's livestock are not needed by Dongtang, and neither are Milijia and most American countries. After all, they themselves have overproduction and don't know who to sell it to.

The Xizhou Alliance is partly self-sufficient and could have absorbed part of the livestock production of Tu and Australia. The problem is that now it is affected by the stock market crash and the economy is very sluggish. In this case, the market demand for agricultural products and livestock has dropped sharply.

Heizhou cannot afford it, and they themselves are also an agricultural country.

The remaining Tianzhu, Xiaoba and the others are also quite cheating. Tianzhu doesn't eat beef, and Xiaoba and the others don't eat pork, and they don't have much money to spend.

Tu'ao was completely confused at this time. So many livestock and agricultural products were produced, but no one wanted them. They couldn't keep them for themselves to eat!

Due to the impact of the drought, many farmers had to sell livestock to reduce their stock and reduce risks.

The problem is that there are now mountains of livestock at the port, and no one is willing to buy them. If no one is willing to buy them, these livestock can only rot in the hands of the farmers themselves.

As a result, farmers who cannot recover funds will inevitably suffer serious losses or even bankruptcy if their livestock die on a large scale.

Boom boom boom...

The huge drilling machine, operated by the engineering team, penetrated into the ground like tofu.

In less than half a day, turbulent underground water gushes out.

Barton quickly took a bucket of water, held a handful of water in his hand, and brought it to his mouth. A salty and bitter taste filled his mouth.

"Poof!" Barton collapsed on the ground in despair.

The leader of the drilling engineering team said helplessly: "I'm very sorry Barton, this well is abandoned."

"Damn the weather."

"Barton, look for an opportunity to sell off part of the livestock." Others in the engineering team were also very helpless. They had seen too many desperate farmers these days.

Barton doesn't want to sell some of his livestock, but the prices of livestock that could make a lot of money in previous years have reached freezing point this year. It doesn't matter if the price is low, the key is that no one cares.

The real problem is that no one wants to buy it. If someone buys it, they can recover some of their money, but now they can't even sell it.

He missed the days when the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty went shopping in Tu'ao. He blamed the well-fed garbage in the council for following the Mi Li family all day long. Now that he was in big trouble, the Mi Li family didn't come to help.

It's really a licking of a dog until there's nothing left.

Throughout Tu'ao, there are many farmers who have suffered the same fate as Barton. Many of them could not bear the high debts and had to apply to the court for bankruptcy.

Soon, state governments across the country were complained by dissatisfied farmers, and large-scale demonstrations and bloody conflicts broke out in some places.

This huge pressure forced the gentlemen of the Tu-Ao Parliament to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

Whether it is livestock, agricultural products, iron ore, or desalination plants, the only way to solve these problems is to compromise with Dongtang.

However, facing the capricious Tuao, Dongtang and Galaxy Consortium planned to continue to give them a try.

September 20th.

Tu'ao finally could not withstand the huge domestic pressure and dispatched two heavyweights as plenipotentiary representatives to be responsible for negotiating agricultural products, livestock, iron ore, and desalination plants.

Keelung, Tianhan Group headquarters.

Ai Heping received the Turkish-Australian negotiating team on behalf of the Galaxy Consortium.

"Mr. Green, please." Ai Heping smiled and asked Green, the team leader, to take a seat.

"Mr. Ai, please."

As soon as he took his seat, Green said straight to the point: "We did mishandle the relationship between the two parties. Here, on behalf of the Tu-Macao Parliament, I am deeply sorry."

"Everyone makes mistakes, but I don't want to choose to forgive. I don't want to listen to dry words." Ai Heping replied, staring into Green's eyes.

"We are willing to hand over the 6G communication order to your company. I don't know how to apologize, is that okay?"

"Just a 6G order?" Ai Heping shook his head.

"What does Mr. Ai mean?" Green asked.

Ai Heping said calmly:

"Zhongxing Communications must enter Tu'ao. You must not treat it differently. This includes all industries under the Galaxy Consortium. Since you claim to be a country in the free world, please act like a free country."

"Mr. Ai, you know this request is impossible. We must have certain restrictions on some things. Freedom does not mean absolute freedom." Green retorted.

"Really? My request is not too much. We don't need preferential treatment from you, we just need a fair competition environment. If you can't do this, then why are you here to negotiate?" Ai Heping sneered.

"..." Green didn't know how to respond. After a while, he could only say helplessly: "I need some time to communicate with the country. We will talk tomorrow."

"Can."

The first meeting between the two sides ended on bad terms.

Obviously, the Galaxy Consortium asked Tu'ao to open market restrictions, which really embarrassed them. If they really agreed, with the power of Galaxy Technology, companies in Tu'ao might have to receive lunch boxes.

However, in negotiations, one party must ask for a high price and the other party must pay back the money.

As for their negotiations with Dongtang, the situation was almost the same.

After Green returned to the hotel, he hurriedly contacted the domestic parliament to discuss how to deal with the conditions of the Galaxy Consortium. Green discussed with them for most of the night before coming up with a preliminary plan.

the next day.

"Mr. Ai, we can grant your company market access in communications, electronic equipment, and automobiles, but other aspects may require security assessments." Green first set out the conditions.

"No, I think you should allow us to invest in agriculture, food processing and transportation. As a condition, we can build a desalination plant for you." Ai Heping put forward his own conditions.

The two sides have begun a new round of war of words. Tuao and Australia would rather allow the entry of industrial products from the Galaxy Consortium than open restrictions on agricultural investment and mining investment.

After all, they are not fools. Agriculture and mining are the pillar industries of Tuao. Once penetrated by the Galaxy Consortium, there may be big problems, so they have to beware of Galaxy Technology.
