Chapter 336 The Dry Lake
It has been nearly two months since the Queensland government restricted water use for farms around Lake Yamayama.

In the past two months, only the local government has carried out two artificial rainfalls, but the rainfall of those two artificial rainfalls is tantamount to a drop in the bucket-no help.

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

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

Anyway, his luck was very bad. He drilled three wells in his own farm, all of which were salty and salty water.

Today is his last well drilling. The previous three drillings have already cost Barton a lot of money. He can only pin his hopes on the last well drilling. If there is no fresh water this time, his farm can only wait for God to come down as soon as possible. rain.

If God doesn't rain as soon as possible, all the livestock on his farm can only be sold, otherwise the only way to wait for him is bankruptcy.

Even if all the livestock were sold, Barton would still lose a lot of money, mainly because the price of livestock this year was so low that they doubted their lives.

The impact of the trade war and the stock market crash is huge. The livestock in Tuao and Dongtang are not needed, and neither are Milijia and most of the American countries. After all, they themselves have excess production and do not know who to sell to.

The Western Europe Alliance is partly self-sufficient, and could absorb part of the livestock production in Turkey and Australia. The problem is that it is now affected by the stock market crash and the economy is very sluggish. Under such circumstances, the demand for agricultural products and livestock markets has dropped sharply.

Heizhou can't afford it, and they themselves are also an agricultural country.

The rest of Tianzhu and Minibus are also quite cheating. Tianzhu doesn’t eat beef, and Minibus doesn’t eat pork, and they don’t have much money to spend.

Now Tu'ao is completely confused. So many livestock and agricultural products are produced, but no one wants them, so they can't keep them for themselves!

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

The problem is that there is a mountain of livestock at the port, and no one is willing to buy them. No one is willing to buy them. These livestock can only rot in the hands of the farmers themselves.

In this way, farmers who cannot get back their funds will inevitably suffer serious losses or even go bankrupt once their livestock die on a large scale.

Boom boom boom...

The huge drilling machine, under the operation of the engineering team, went deep into the ground like tofu.

In less than half a day, the turbulent groundwater gushed out.

Button hurriedly took a bucket of water and took a handful of water with his hands, and sent it to his mouth, a salty and bitter taste filled his mouth.

"Pfft!" Barton slumped on the ground decadently.

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

"Damn the weather."

"Barton, find a chance to sell some of the livestock." The rest of the engineering team were also very helpless, they had seen too many desperate farmers these days.

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

The real big trouble is that no one is willing to buy, and if someone buys, they can still save part of the money, but now they can't even sell it.

He missed the days when the Dongtang people were shopping in Tu'ao. He blamed the full-fledged rubbish in the council for making comparisons with Mi Li's family all day long. Now that he was in big trouble, Mi Li's family did not come to help.

It's really licking the dog until nothing is left.

In the whole of Tuao, there are not a few farmers who have encountered the same situation as Barton. Many of them cannot bear the high debt and have to apply for bankruptcy in the court.

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

This kind of huge pressure made the gentlemen of the Australian Parliament also have to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

Whether it is livestock, agricultural products, or iron ore, or seawater desalination plants, if these matters need to be resolved, they can only choose to compromise with Dongtang.

However, in the face of the capricious Tuao, Dongtang and the Yinhe Consortium intend to continue to let them go.

9 month 20 day.

Tu'ao finally couldn't bear the huge pressure in the country, and sent two heavyweights as plenipotentiaries to be responsible for negotiating agricultural products, livestock, iron ore, and seawater 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 invited the team leader Green to take a seat.

"Mr. Ai, please."

As soon as he was seated, Green said straight to the point: "As for the relationship between the two parties, we did have some mishandling. Here, on behalf of the Turkish-Australian Parliament, I am deeply sorry."

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

"We are willing to hand over the order of 6G communication to your company. I don't know the apology, can you?"

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

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

Ai Ping said flatly:

"Allstar Communications must enter Tuao, and 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 that 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 your preferential treatment, we just need a level playing field. If you can't do this, then why are you here to negotiate?" Ai Heping sneered.

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

"can."

The first meeting between the two sides broke up unhappy.

Obviously, the Galaxy Consortium asked Tuao to open up market restrictions. This matter really made them quite embarrassed. If they really agreed, with the strength of Galaxy Technology, companies in Tuao might all receive lunch boxes.

However, when negotiating and negotiating, one party must ask for the price, and the other party will pay back the money.

As for their negotiations with Dongtang, the situation is 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 most of the night before coming up with a preliminary plan.

the next day.

"Mr. Ai, we can agree to your company's market access in communications, electronic equipment, and automobiles, but other aspects may require a safety assessment." Green first threw 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 started a new round of verbal war. Tuao would rather allow the industrial products of the Galaxy consortium to enter than open the restrictions on agricultural investment and mining investment.

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