Reborn as the richest man in India

Chapter 178 Election Barometer

Clothing is one thing, and agricultural products are no exception.

Because there is Udi Gerd on Wim's side. This guy invested nearly 1 billion in recent days to expand, and his company's size suddenly expanded rapidly.

The newspaper report that slandered his agricultural company came from Udi's mouth.

After his strength increased greatly, his self-confidence also expanded greatly.

This guy listened to Wim. Now that Jena and Wim are colluding together, their little brother is naturally waving the flag and shouting.

Originally, Qiao Ge was going to criticize the current production model of these agricultural products. Now that Udi has jumped out, there is nothing to say.

He allowed News to put chicken soup-for-the-soul articles in newspapers.

Those fruits and vegetables produced using pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc. are, firstly, unhealthy, and secondly, they are not in line with the status of the middle class and elites.

If you want to be healthy and have vegetables that match your identity, organic produce is the best choice.

In the past few months, with the help of Maupassant, Qiaogo has passed the review of the International Alliance of Organic Agriculture and became the first official member of India to join the alliance.

To be able to succeed, in addition to the fact that the planting base really complies with the standards, it also has the ability to make money, which gives many benefits to the people who come to review.

There's nothing to say. Everything meets the standards and there are benefits. These people will naturally report it as quickly as possible.

For this little money, Qiao Ge will not be stingy, because the harvest will be greater in the future.

To this end, the Alliance approved Qiaogo to establish an organic food certification agency in India.

In other words, in the future, organic food certification in India will only be through institutions under Qiao Ge’s name.

Of course, there will definitely be other organizations participating in the future, but I am at least the first one. Even if there is a second organization, I have to ask for my opinion.

Especially in the short term, it's just you.

In the field of organic food, you are the authority.

Professor Willis Nacker is very happy about this. He is engaged in agriculture, how could he not know about the International Alliance of Organic Agriculture?

This means that the level of future research topics of my team will be raised several levels, and the results in the future will be even more amazing.

With sufficient financial support from Qiao Ge, the team has made several major breakthroughs in research in the past few months, especially in tomatoes and onions. The new varieties have increased resistance to harsh weather and insect pests, shortened the ripening cycle, and Production increased, which made Jogo very happy.

You must know that the climate impact in the past few months has reduced the production of many agricultural products, especially tomatoes, which have plummeted.

Recently, the price of tomatoes has increased more than three times, and in some areas such as New Delhi, it has even increased more than five times, which is very outrageous.

This has brought huge pressure to the Indian people.

This is different from China. For vegetables such as tomatoes and onions in China, if the price increase is too outrageous, it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat them. At worst, you can switch to other vegetables.

But it's different in India. Tomatoes and onions are indispensable in Indian diet, and they are required in most dishes.

It's equivalent to pork in China. Think about the price of Brother 2's soaring in the past few years, and it's almost catching up with the price of beef. That's almost the feeling. In India, it's even more exaggerated.

Recently, there have been many tomato theft cases across India. Some were stolen from vegetable stores, and some were stolen in the fields. There were even murders. Many farmers who were guarding tomatoes were killed.

Now, if you see someone sneaking around holding tomatoes, they are probably thieves or people who spend huge sums of money to buy tomatoes. They are afraid of being robbed on the road.

Cartoons appeared in newspapers, sarcastically saying that tomatoes were rising faster than oil prices; some reports sarcastically said that buying tomatoes was more expensive than bribing government officials.

But the most famous one is an unknown singer who composed the "Tomato Song".

The general content of the lyrics is that because of the rising price of tomatoes, one cannot afford to eat various foods. There are a lot of them. Without tomatoes, there are almost no edible dishes in India.

This song instantly resonated with the people and was widely sung.

This little-known singer suddenly became one of the most popular singers recently.

The price increase incident caused many riots to occur in various places. Countless houses and vehicles were burned down, resulting in many casualties.

Tomatoes and onions actually have a very close connection with Indian politics.

Both are India's national vegetables. If the government cannot effectively lower the price, it will easily become a breakthrough point for the opposition party to attack and lose the election.

During the 1980 Indian general election, the price of onions skyrocketed. Indira, the then leader of the opposition Congress Party, immediately seized the opportunity to attack the ruling party. She also strung onions and hung them around her neck while giving speeches to canvass votes. Later, Indira Pullman was elected Prime Minister for the second time.

Although there are other aspects of the game, Onion still played a big role in his election.

This is India’s famous ‘onion and tomato politics’. Tomatoes are no less important to Indians than onions, and their influence on the political arena is similar.

The 'onion and tomato politics' did not end with Indira Gandhi's victory as Prime Minister. As long as the weather is not good and bad weather occurs, onion and tomato production will be reduced and prices will rise sharply, such a scene will happen again.

It often repeats every few years. The difference is that the scale of the riots varies depending on the price increase.

Since then, tomatoes and onions have become one of the 'barometers' of India's general elections. As long as prices rise sharply during the general election, the ruling party will definitely have a hard time.

The government's first response is to lower prices, but blindly lowering prices is definitely not a good thing. Consumers' votes may have been saved, but farmers who grow onions and tomatoes are starting to cause trouble again.

It's a mess now.

So Qiaogo starts with these vegetables. As long as his scale is large enough and his output is large enough, he can indirectly influence the political arena.

This is no longer purely a financial gain.

Therefore, Qiao Ge must not give up on agricultural products and must make it bigger and stronger.

We need all the basic necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, only if the people and politicians cannot live without us.

This is your best talisman.

For other matters such as shipping, Jena and Wim have already said hello, and all people and companies related to them have given up cooperation with them.

At that time, Huaida persuaded many friends to give him the maritime transportation job, but now some of them have also terminated their contracts.

Because these people are friends of Huida and also have good relations with Wim.

So after weighing the pros and cons, I chose not to offend Wim Ambani.

Qiao Ge was not surprised at all when these situations occurred.

For these people who have a normal relationship with them, and even those who are separated by a layer of distance through their relationship with Huida, in their eyes, there are still many differences between themselves and Wim. Isn't it obvious which side to choose?

Originally, Qiao Ge had already planned that the shipping company would not make money in recent years. Even if he suffered losses for a few years, he could completely bear it. In a few years, a batch of ships in the shipping company could transport Malay goods.

Since I have overseas business, it is always more convenient to have my own ship, and it can also be kept more confidential.

But working with Barry gave him another hope.

That is oil transportation from the Middle East.

Barry promised that he would contact his relatives there. He is not yet able to participate in the petrochemical industry, but he can still be just a transporter.

In this way, the ships on our side will not be idle and lose money.

Also, Qiao Ge still wants to be involved in the petrochemical industry in the future, so there is nothing wrong with getting in touch with it now to get familiar with it.

That night Adela came to see Jogo.

Adela looked very anxious. Finally, he said that something happened to Sirideiyu and hoped that Qiao Ge could help.

"Uncle Adela, don't worry, what happened?" Qiao Ge asked him after asking him to sit down.

"Sirideyu was blackmailed." Adela said angrily, "That bastard actually asked for 10 million rupees."

"Who?" Qiao Ge said solemnly.

Who is so brave?

"This~~" Adela hesitated for a moment, "Qiao Ge, it's related to Sirideiyu's reputation, I~~ you can't tell it."

Qiao Ge agreed.

It turns out that Sirideyu was pursued by a male star in Bollywood named Mithun Chakraborty a few years ago, but Sirideyu refused.

It's just that he and Mison have worked together in movies before and are considered friends, so they saved face for each other.

Unexpectedly, the guy was so shameless that he even forcibly held Xili Daiyu's hand when they were outside.

That was it originally, and the guy didn't bother much anymore.

It's just that in the Bollywood circle, there are some rumors from time to time, saying that Siridea and this guy are in love.

Who came from this news?

Who else could it be besides this guy named Mi Sen?

Although Mi Sen is slightly famous, he is worlds apart from Xili Daiyu.

Qiao Ge can completely guess his purpose of getting close to Xili Daiyu, which is to gain Xili Daiyu's reputation. Of course, if someone can get it, wouldn't it mean that he would have both body and appearance, and wouldn't wealth also come rolling in?

That's killing three birds with one stone.

The idea was good, but it was a pity that Xili Daiyu didn't give him any sympathy at all.

As Xili Daiyu's reputation has become more and more popular over the years, no one dares to mention the previous rumors.

Misen himself didn't mention it anymore. After all, if Xili Daiyu retaliated, he might be a little overwhelmed.

But just yesterday, Xili Daiyu received a photo and a note. The photo was clearly taken at the moment when Mi Sen forcibly held hands.

As for the note, it was naturally some threats. For example, if the money was not paid, Xi Lidaiyu would be ruined and her stardom would be blocked.

After all, it was just rumors before and there were no substantive photos or anything like that.

When this photo appears, doesn’t it make it unclear?

Needless to say, this must have been arranged by Mison.

His purpose at that time was to take photos so that in the future he could claim to the outside world that he had a close relationship with Xili Daiyu, that he was dating, etc., in order to increase his popularity and worth.

But at that time, he didn't release the photo.

Unexpectedly, it took several years before he sent Xili Daiyu for blackmail.

"Xili Daiyu came to my house last night. She felt aggrieved and cried for a long time. My wife tried to persuade her for a long time, but she couldn't persuade her. The guy was so hateful. Calling the police would definitely not work. Once this incident spreads widely, it would be very harmful to Xili Daiyu. Jade's influence is too great, so I want to ask you for help to see if this matter can be resolved privately?" Adela said with some expectation, "It's not that I can't give you money, but I'm afraid that this guy will take advantage of it. This kind of bastard has no chance. You can’t trust people.”
