Rebirth of India: Superior

As expected, things did not go as Shakru expected. The Sanyi matter was quite difficult to deal with. Even if these tea plantation owners were willing to pay a large sum of money to smooth things over, no one of the money-grubbing government officials dared to accept it. Of course, this was also Because Shakru was coming forward, no one dared to just accept the money without doing anything. Many people directly told Shakru that the money was too hot. Not only would they offend the Ministry of Railways, but they would also be responsible for opening this hole. , no one can afford it nor is willing to bear it.

If Shakru could understand the concerns of these people, then the words of some confused officials almost made him curse, because some people were actually saying: "You friends are the same, why do you have to be in traffic so badly?" If you want to build a tea garden in a good place, just find a place with convenient transportation to plant tea trees." Such words like "Why not eat minced meat" made Shaklu very suspicious, how could this guy who only grows fat but not brains. Sneaking into the government.

Fortunately, his efforts were not fruitless. When he was in urgent need of medical treatment, he actually got a glimmer of hope from the Ministry of Petroleum. Pradhan, a powerful figure in the Ministry of Petroleum, heard from Shakru that he could pay a huge amount of facilitation money. , pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, there is no solution to this matter, but there are more joints that need to be opened."

Shakru said without hesitation: "As long as the matter can be done, it will be fine. Now this matter is related to the life and death of these tea plantation owners, so they are willing to pay any price."

Hearing what Shakru said, Pradhan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, then you inform them and quickly submit an application for planting Jatropha to our Ministry of Petroleum."

Shakru asked a little confused: "Jatropha? What does this have to do with solving the railway problem?"

"Of course it does matter, it's just that the twists and turns are a little bigger. Do you know what the top priority of our petroleum department is now?" Pradhan replied slowly.

Shaklu shook his head and said: "How can I, a small businessman, know about such a big thing?"

Pradhan explained: “The top priority of our Ministry of Petroleum is to reduce the import of crude oil and reduce dependence on overseas crude oil. Now India has become the fourth largest consumer of crude oil products in the world, second only to the United States, China and After Japan. Such large consumption also makes us the fourth largest oil importer in the world. This year alone, the national crude oil demand is as high as 4.1 million barrels/day, while the domestic crude oil supply is only 1 million barrels/day. The crude oil supply gap continues to expand.

What is even more worrying is that with the continuous expansion of India's transportation industry and industry, and the government's encouragement of infrastructure construction and manufacturing such as highways, India's oil demand will accelerate in the next two years. Although the fall in energy prices is a good thing for India, a major oil consumer, in the long term, if energy prices continue to fall, investment in upstream oil and gas projects in India will definitely decrease. This means that India's petroleum technology research and development will be affected. "

"I know this, but what does this have to do with planting Jatropha?" Shaklu was still confused.

Pradhan said with some displeasure: "Why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet. In order to solve this problem, we decided to mix ethanol into gasoline and biodiesel into conventional diesel. And this biodiesel is the source. Regarding biofuel crops, the most typical crop is jatropha.

Next year our plan is to achieve a 5% blending of gasoline and conventional diesel. This will require a large amount of biofuel crops, namely Jatropha. So if the tea plantation owners you mentioned are willing to sign a contract with our Ministry of Petroleum, we will ensure the production of Jatropha. supply, then we can solve the problem of biofuel crop supply by The problem is to transform their railway. This matter is carried out by our Ministry of Petroleum, so others cannot find fault. However, these funds must be provided by them. We are only responsible for providing a name. Of course, as for this We will not interfere with the use of these railways, and they can operate them independently. "

After hearing this, Shakru finally understood what Pradhan meant, and sighed in his heart that the circle was indeed big enough, but it was still a solution. However, Shakru still had a question, so he asked: "But the question is, is the Jatropha tree you mentioned suitable for planting on the plateau?"

Pradhan glared at Shakru and complained: "Why are you so stupid? Our Ministry of Petroleum only wants the supply of jatropha. Who cares where it is grown! You won't let them find people elsewhere." Plant it and send it to us?”

After listening to Pradhan's words, Shakru couldn't help but slap his forehead. He was indeed stupid. How could he forget such an obvious and common government operation method? So he quickly changed the subject and said: "Yes, yes, Yes, I am stupid. Oh, by the way, Mr. Pradhan, is this biodiesel really that useful?”

"It is definitely not as good as conventional diesel, but there is nothing we can do about it. We must show some attitude to let those foreign suppliers see that we are not at their mercy. And no matter what, this biodiesel It’s much more reliable than the gutter oil fuel produced by the guys from the Ministry of Science and Technology,” Pradhan said nonchalantly.

"What? Gutter oil fuel?" Shakru simply doubted whether he heard correctly.

"That's right, it's waste oil fuel. I don't know what those people in the Ministry of Science and Technology are thinking. They actually plan to extract fuel from used cooking oil, that is, waste oil. Their theoretical basis is that India is a country of fried food, and the amount of cooking oil consumed each year is 20 to 22 million tons. If a reliable system is established to collect and use these second-hand oils, then it is possible to extract 2 million tons of biodiesel from them. Tell me, isn't this pure nonsense!" Pradhan said with disdain.

Although he has seen too many Indians' brains open and various creative ideas in recent years, the idea of ​​waste oil fuel still shocked Shakru. This, this is too incredible. After a long time, Shakru finally came to his senses and asked, "So, how is the research going now?"

"There is no sign at all. I guess it's the guys in the Ministry of Science and Technology who are cheating on the funds, but it was approved. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Go back and ask those tea garden owners if they agree with this plan. If they do, you have to hurry up and do it. There are many links to open up here."
