Chapter 676 A crying child gets milk

Thai Agricultural Association, Nakun came to the office of President Song En early in the morning.

"President, do you have anything to do with me?" Na Kun said respectfully.

"Nakun, I have seen the news about the five billion baht agricultural machinery purchase on the morning news. The newspapers on the table also published relevant news. You did a good job this time and your work efficiency was very high.

, what I just ordered you to do yesterday has been completed today!" President Song En said.

Na Kun had a confused look on his face. He subconsciously glanced at the newspaper on Chairman Sogn's desk and indeed saw the report on the purchase of 5 billion agricultural machinery.

"What happened? I haven't gone to the media yet, so why was it published? And it was also on the morning news on TV?" Na Kun was a little confused.

Yesterday, Chairman Sogn arranged work for Nakun and asked him to go to the media to publicize the 5 billion baht purchase of agricultural machinery.

But as a native Thai, how could Nakun handle this matter right away? This is not in line with the efficiency of Thai people.

So Na Kun decided to talk to several media outlets today and ask them to publish a report so that he could report to President Song En.

Unexpectedly, before the matter was settled, the news had already been published in newspapers and even reported on TV.

Some of the two-foot-tall monks in Nakun were confused, wondering who was the kind person who had done the errand for him!

However, in the face of President Song'en's continuous battles, Na Kun could not say that I did not do this.

So Na Kun quickly nodded, and then said: "President, after you handed over this matter to me yesterday, I didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately went to find some familiar media to complete the work you assigned.

"

Even if credit is not yours, you still have to recognize it.

…

At the same time, at the office of a certain evening newspaper in Thailand, the editor-in-chief personally delivered a stranger to the door.

After returning to his office, the editor-in-chief took out an envelope from the drawer and began to count the Thai baht inside.

This envelope was given to the editor-in-chief by the stranger just now.

After counting, the editor put the envelopes away close to his body and called a subordinate.

"Here is a report, put it on the front page of today's evening newspaper." The editor handed over a report.

The subordinates took a closer look and found that this was news that the Thai Agricultural Association would spend 5 billion to purchase agricultural machinery for rice planting.

"Editor-in-chief, this news has already been published in the morning paper, do we still want to publish it in the evening paper?" the subordinate asked.

"Of course it has to be published. We have to let the farmers know that they will have new agricultural machinery available soon! This kind of good thing that benefits the majority of farmers naturally needs more publicity." The editor-in-chief said calmly.

"Okay, editor." The subordinate nodded and walked out of the editor's office with the report.

Immediately, a busybody came up to inquire: "Papan, what does the editor want you to do? Is there something good going on again?"

"The editor-in-chief asked me to publish this report in the Evening News!" Papin pointed to the report in his hand.

"Didn't the morning paper report the news about the purchase of 5 billion agricultural machinery? And I see other coal items are also reported! It's a little late for us to publish this news now," the other party said.

"Remember the stranger who left just now? Most likely he came to give money to the editor. After the stranger left, the editor immediately asked me to publish this report in the Evening News. Don't you understand?" Papan said

He spoke.

"Agricultural machinery purchases happen almost every year. It is a normal news. Our newspaper reports the news normally. How can the editor-in-chief still make money?" the other party asked.

"Hey, you really don't understand!" Papin lowered his voice and continued; "This 5 billion baht purchase of agricultural machinery is equivalent to a subsidy to farmers. If such a thing is widely publicized, farmers will definitely support the current government.

, which is good for the votes of the current government. The general election is only a few months away, and our current prime minister is seeking re-election. Do you understand this?"

"You mean to say that the stranger who came just now is a member of Mr. Prime Minister's campaign team?" The other party nodded in realization.

"You finally figured it out!" Papin continued: "The Prime Minister's campaign team wants to publicize its political achievements, but it cannot blatantly use administrative resources, otherwise it will give the opposition parties a clue.

So they spent their own money and asked the media to publish more of this news, so that they could publicize their political achievements and win the votes of farmers."

…

After the stranger left the newspaper office, he went to several media outlets, and in the evening, he appeared in Yue Ping An's hotel suite.

"Mr. Yue, everything you asked me to do has been done," the other party said.

"No one doubts you, right?" Yue Ping An asked cautiously.

"Please rest assured that I have not revealed my identity." The other party smiled slightly and then said: "I guess those in the media will still regard me as a member of the Prime Minister's campaign team.

After all, this 5 billion baht agricultural machinery order is a very important achievement of the current government, and if it is widely publicized, it can consolidate votes in rural areas."

Yue An'an nodded and then asked: "Have you found the agricultural expert I asked you to find?"

"We have found it. They took the money and are willing to write articles according to our requirements. In addition, I have also arranged for the TV station. I will do a program later and invite many agricultural experts to the scene to discuss the five billion baht

How to distribute agricultural machinery."

…

News of the 5 billion baht agricultural machinery appeared in the Thai media and spread rapidly.

Thai rice farmers suddenly burst into joy.

For ordinary farmers, five billion baht is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable. Such a large subsidy is undoubtedly a big pie in the sky.

Of course, there are also voices of opposition. After all, this is 5 billion baht, which is a lot of money considering the size of Thailand's economy. The opposition party will naturally accuse the ruling party of spending money indiscriminately.

Dog-eat-dog incidents between political parties are common in Thailand, and ordinary people are used to it.

At this time, articles by some agricultural experts appeared in the media and began to discuss how to distribute rice worth 5 billion baht.

"Five billion baht of agricultural machinery are all provided by Kubota, a famous Japanese agricultural machinery company. Kubota's rice rotary tiller costs more than 1 million baht, while the price of a rice harvester is around 1.5 million baht.

We take a middle price of 1.25 million baht, and 5 billion baht can purchase 4,000 agricultural machinery. I think 3,000 of the agricultural machinery should be supplied to the main rice-producing areas of the Central Plains.

The rice-producing areas of the Central Plains have fertile land and are concentrated deep-water rice production areas, accounting for one-quarter of the country's rice production. Agricultural machinery operations should be vigorously promoted to maximize the geographical advantages."

Another article said: "The rice planting area in the eastern region accounts for 40% of the country's total, and it is also the main production area of ​​fragrant rice. Moreover, the natural conditions in the eastern region are poor, and more agricultural machinery should be used to improve

unit output.”

A third expert wrote this: "At least half of the 4,000 agricultural machinery should be transferred to the northern region. The irrigation conditions in the northern region are better, the unit yield of rice is also the highest in the country, and the use of mechanical operations is also the most cost-effective.

"

There are four main rice-producing areas in Thailand, and different varieties of rice are grown for different products.

The northernmost one is the Northern Rice Region, which includes 17 provinces. The rice fields in the Northern Rice Region account for a quarter of the country's rice fields. The irrigation conditions there are relatively good, the planting technology is also advanced, and the unit yield of rice is the highest in Thailand.

In the northern rice area of ​​Thailand, close to Myanmar, is Thailand's upland rice growing area. A little further south, transplanted rice is grown.

The plateau in northeastern Thailand is the Northeast rice-producing area, that is, the area adjacent to the Mekong River to the east. The natural conditions there are relatively poor, and the unit yield is the lowest in Thailand. However, because the rice sown area is relatively large, the rice yield is a little

There are many children.

Transplanted rice is also grown in the northeastern area near the Laos border, while direct seeded rice is grown elsewhere.

Live-streaming rice is not about Internet celebrities planting rice live, but direct sowing. Sprinkle the seeds into the soil and let the rice grow by itself. There is no link of raising seedlings and transplanting.

This is obviously the most primitive way of growing rice. As a major rice-growing country, Thailand still grows direct-seeded rice on a large scale, which also shows that Thailand’s agricultural technology is indeed relatively backward.

At the same time, relying on the most primitive technology of direct seeding rice, so much rice can be grown, which also means that the land in Thailand is really very fertile. There is no need to raise seedlings and transplant them. Once the seeds are planted, there will be rice. This is really a blessing from God.

Eat!

Moreover, this is a place in Thailand with relatively poor natural conditions. There are also places in Thailand with better natural conditions.

That is the central plain rice area, which is the plain impacted by the Chao Phraya River. It is the real rice warehouse of Thailand. Rice production accounts for a quarter of Thailand's total. Of course, direct-seeded rice is grown there.

This may be the reason why Thai people do everything slowly. The land is too fertile. If you sow seeds, you will grow food. If you don't have to worry about eating every day, who has the heart to work hard!

The fourth rice producing area is the southern producing area, which is the narrow area in southern Thailand from the Myanmar border to the Malaysian border. The rice field area accounts for 7% of Thailand, and it is basically ignored.

Nowadays, there is a pie of 5 billion baht to be distributed. How much to allocate to each rice product is naturally a matter worthy of discussion.

Every rice-producing area wants to get an extra piece of the pie, and every province in Thailand is not idle either and has to compete.

Then the topic of distributing agricultural machinery spread from rice-producing areas to all prefectures.

A group of Thai agricultural experts have published articles in the media, clearly stating how many agricultural machinery each province can receive.

Several agricultural experts with different opinions were even invited to debate on TV. Naturally, these experts said that the public was right and others were right.

Suddenly, how to allocate these 5 billion baht of agricultural machinery has become a hot topic.

…

The agricultural expo in Thailand has ended, and exhibitors have begun to pack their bags and prepare to leave.

In the VIP waiting room of Bangkok International Airport, Song Chengde looked around and saw only Li Weidong, but not Yue Ping An.

Song Chengde originally wanted to find another opportunity to show off, but Yue Ping'an didn't arrive, so it was uncomfortable to show off.

So Song Chengde couldn't help but walked over and asked: "Chairman Li, where is Yue Ping An? Didn't he take the same extension flight as you?"

"Mr. Yue still has some business to deal with, so I have to stay for a few more days." Li Weidong replied.

"You're probably too happy to miss Shu! There are a lot of girls in Thailand who do massages!" Song Chengde smiled sinisterly and cursed maliciously:

"Chairman Li, you'd better remind him to be careful. Foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones. Don't get infected with AIDS and lose your life!"
