Rebirth of India: Superior

On this day, Shakru was inspecting his hotel when he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the bar, and there were many wine bottles staggered around him.

I walked over and saw that it was his old client and a close friend - Coca-Cola India President Gupta. Looking at him like this, he must have encountered something troublesome and was drinking to drown his sorrows, so Shakru Curious, he walked over and asked, "Gupta, what's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much by yourself?"

Gupta waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just upset. Don't worry, I didn't drink too much."

Shaklu nodded and said: "I know your drinking capacity, this little drink will definitely be fine, but I am curious about what is making you so upset?"

Gupta sighed and then said, “Well, now the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala have announced, Banning the sale of Coca-Cola products in and around public schools and government offices has suddenly reduced the business of a quarter of the area. Do you think I can avoid being upset?”

Hearing this, Shakru couldn't help but took a breath and said: "What's going on? Why do you want to ban Coca-Cola? Is Pepsi doing it behind the scenes?" Although Shakru didn't have any evidence. , but according to general circumstances, this is done by competitors, and Coca-Cola’s biggest rival is Pepsi-Cola.

Gupta shook his head and said, "Not Pepsi, because they are also banned in these areas."

"Then who has such great ability and dares to offend two giants at the same time?" Shaklu asked in surprise.

"The reason is that some time ago, an organization called the Indian Center for Science and Environment announced their quality test results on August 5. The pesticide content of Pepsi-Cola's soft drink products was 36 times higher than the EU's regulated content level. Coca-Cola also 30 times higher in this test. Twelve bottles of drinks were used, and the agricultural pesticides lindane, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, marazion and chlorpyrifos were found in them. These pesticides may be latent in the human body and cause cancer and destroy the immune system. The center also tested. Similar products in the United States but no similar ingredients were found.

Narain, director of the prodigal organization, also said: "They claim to have global unified standards, but this test proves that this is not the case at all. These companies have taken advantage of legal loopholes in India where there are no soft drink water quality regulations." The center also said that their The testing process is based on the US Environmental Protection Agency standards, and outsiders are welcome to inspect. "Gupta said depressedly.

Shakru frowned and asked: "Indian Science and Environment Center? What kind of department is this and where is it managed?"

Gupta took a breath and said: "This is not a government organization at all, and I don't know where it came from. But there must be someone behind them, but I don't know who it is yet."

"Hey, it's no wonder you're depressed. This will definitely seriously affect your sales." Shakru agreed.

Gupta replied with a bit of laughter and tears: "Don't tell me, the sales volume really hasn't been affected much, because since this incident was announced, Coca-Cola has been researched into new uses by some guys."

"What other uses can Coke be used for?" Shakru asked, not knowing why.

"It can be used as a pesticide. How can you think of it? Maybe it was inspired by the pesticide residues in Coca-Cola. Not long ago, hundreds of farmers in Andhra Pradesh and Chhattishar, India, tried to use Coca-Cola to kill insects on crops. With success, Andhra villager Lak Si Mai is one of the inventors of "Cola Insecticide". He sprayed several acres of his cotton fields with Coke this year and is satisfied with the effectiveness of "Coke Insecticide". According to his observation, when he sprays the right amount of After Coke was sprayed into the cotton fields, the pests began to die in droves.

The reason for this is that using cola to kill insects is not only cheaper than pesticides, but it is also very safe and simple and does not require dilution. In India, one liter of concentrated insecticide costs 10,000 rupees, while a 15-liter bottle of Coca-Cola costs only 30 rupees, and spraying an acre of land costs only 270 rupees. Shakru, tell me, what do these guys think? "Gupta explained with a wry smile.

This time Shakru was completely stunned by the imagination of these guys. After a while, he said: "This is too ridiculous. Let's not talk about whether Coke has this effect. Just say that Coke is not as expensive as pesticides." , I absolutely can’t believe this.”

Gupta explained: "This is true. Pesticides in India are indeed very expensive. The cheapest pesticide is 500-600 rupees per liter, the super concentrated one is 10,000 rupees per liter, and the diluted one is about 1,000 rupees per liter." Acres are indeed much more expensive than Coke.”

This made Shakru complain in his mind and suddenly thought, if he contacted a domestic pesticide company to come to India, wouldn't it be fatal? I think pesticides in China are very cheap.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Gupta continued: "Not only that, they also developed a use for Coke. It is to pour Coke on the urine stains in the toilet, wait for ten or eight minutes, and then scrub it off with a toilet brush. , you will find that it is cleaner than using toilet cleaner, and there is no odor.”

Hearing this, Shakru was completely speechless. This was obviously something for people to drink, but why did these weird third brothers get it on the toilet? This, what kind of brain circuit is this!

In order to prevent Gupta from saying anything more serious about the new use of cola, Shakru took the initiative to change the subject and asked: "Such a big thing happened, your head office can't have no reaction at all, right?"

Gupta nodded and said: "Of course there is no way there is no reaction. The head office's attitude is very firm. It flatly denies that the product contains excessive pesticides and denounces the political conspiracy behind this exposure.

And after the investigation, it was announced that the pesticide residues in the cola products they produce are negligible compared with the pesticide residues found in milk, eggs and most meat products. These pesticides mainly come from the groundwater used to produce cola. Even if there is a problem, it is a problem with Indian groundwater and has nothing to do with the cola company."

Originally, Shakru thought that the matter would end here, but he never expected that this time the Indian government really took a ruthless approach to the two cola companies and used a trick to cut off the source of funds, because three days later, he saw in the newspaper that the Supreme Court of India issued a notice to the Indian companies of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, requiring them to disclose the chemical composition and ingredient details of their beverages. The two companies must respond within four weeks, otherwise the Indian court has the power to ban the two beverage giants from selling beverages in India. (.)
