Chapter 408: Surge in Tourists

On the way back, sitting in the car, Lele intimately helped Niu Li, who had drunk too much, rub her temples.

"It's not easy!" Cao Wu didn't say much at the dinner table: "No wonder it's five cents when you open your mouth, it seems that they still want to sell us the aged grain." ”

The storage time of grain is generally about one to three years, and beyond this time limit, it is counted as aged grain.

Because of long-term storage, the Aspergillus flavus in aged grains exceeds the standard, which cannot be directly used as rations, and is generally used to make biofuels, such as ethanol gasoline for vehicles.

It's just that the current biofuel industry in China is still in the initial stage of development, and ethanol is generally refined from corn, but Huang Rong and his main desire to sell is aged wheat.

If you buy such a thing and ship it over, good things will become bad things.

It doesn't seem to be a reliable introduction from a friend.

Niu Li pinched the bridge of her nose and pondered: "It doesn't matter if the aged grain is old, at most we don't buy them, and spend more money to buy other temporary storage grains, mainly because I heard them talk about quotas, it may not be easy to get it!"

Since the beginning of '07, international cereal export prices have risen sharply. At the same time, the price of oil and freight costs have also increased significantly, which has led to a sharp increase in the price of basic food products in countries around the world. At the same time, domestic grain harvests have been bumper for several consecutive years, and exports have begun to surge, which has aroused national concern.

Although domestic food stocks are abundant and the market is well supplied, rising food prices are not a good thing.

As a country with a population of more than one billion, food security remains a matter of great concern.

At the end of '07, the government abolished the grain export tax rebate rate, and from '08 began to impose a provisional export tariff of 5%-20% on grain.

The most important thing is that since 08, the national team grain has implemented export quota license management, and if you can't get a license, you can't export food abroad.

Huang Rong They have a good idea, this international charity activity has the participation and support of the government, they think that they will definitely open a part of the quota to Xinghai or directly grant a special license, they want to take this opportunity to dispose of a batch of aged grain smashed in their hands.

But apparently they got the wrong idea, charity is the icing on the cake, and the food issue is a bottom-line issue, and quotas and permits are impossible.

Jingle bells!

The phone rang, Niu Li took out her mobile phone and looked at it, it was Song Yan calling.

"Hey, Mr. Niu, have you arrived at the hotel?" Song Datou's laughter was still hearty.

Niu Li adjusted her sitting posture: "Not yet, it's coming soon, it's still on the way, thank you for your concern." ”

"Haha! Mr. Niu, how do you feel about talking today?"

Niu Li said with a smile: "Our requirements have been made very clear just now, first, the price must be advantageous, second, the quality must be guaranteed, and third, the quota must help us get it." ”

"Everything else is easy to say, it's a matter of this quota...... Lao Huang: They do have some difficulties. Song Yan groaned, and then said with a smile: "But it's okay, business is not benevolent, Mr. Niu, you should treat it as having a meal with your friends, it's not a big deal." ”

"Okay, I still want to thank Mr. Song for your hospitality. Niu Li smiled.

"Haha! You're welcome, I'll come here to play again when I have time, and I'll take you to have a good time when the time comes!" Song Yan knew that he couldn't talk about it, so he simply put the topic behind him.

Businessmen, no matter whether the business is negotiated or not, friends still have to be made.

After hanging up the phone, Lele couldn't help but ask: "Let's not buy it through them, right?

Niu Li shook her head and said: "At present, it seems that it is more difficult to walk from China, I want to find a way to contact the Indian side! ”

Since they decided to change the plan, Cao Wu and the others don't need to follow Niu Li as a live signboard. The next day, they went straight back to the magic capital.

Niu Li stayed with Xiaobai and others, she was going to learn about the market situation, and stop rushing to India and being knocked off.

During this period of time, the most hotly discussed topic in the world is this international charity concert.

People from various countries also set their sights on this event.

The media of various countries are following up and reporting on the details of the preparations for the event every day, and interviews about the stars who may participate in this concert are not uncommon.

This is the first time that the people of the whole world have come together to accomplish something, without any conflict of interest, but only good wishes born out of the common purpose of love and peace.

As one of the co-sponsors and one of the several guests confirmed so far, the Black Hole Band has aroused the curiosity of people throughout Asia.

Popular science about the Black Hole Band appeared on social media in various countries, and many people in Asian countries who usually don't pay much attention to foreign music also knew for the first time that there was such an excellent young rock band.

Their recently released new album "Rock?and Metal" topped the charts in more than a dozen countries, and the physical album also sold out several times, and the momentum was unparalleled.

In the past month, the number of people applying for visas to China has surged, and in addition to journalists from various countries, more music fans and tourists want to attend the event.

In order to hold this grand event, the Modu Municipal Government specially asked the New International Expo Center to move all the booths of all the exhibitions held at the Expo Center from the middle of next month to the end of next month into the exhibition hall, leaving outdoor space to hold this unprecedented concert.

The New International Expo Center has the largest square in the city, with an area of 130,000 square meters, which means that even if there is one person per square meter, it can only accommodate 130,000 people.

What's more, there is still a considerable part of the internal area that is ineffective areas such as passages and greenery.

Therefore, this concert can only receive 100,000 audiences.

However, according to the data sent back from the visa office abroad, so far more than 13 million new tourist visas have been applied for in East Asia and South Asia this month, of which more than one million are tourists who want to attend the concert.

And this is not counting the domestic audience, these 100,000 places are indeed a bit small.

There was no choice but to tighten the visa review criteria first, especially for tourists who applied to come to this concert.

Of course, this caused a lot of complaints, and many tourists who were not attending the concert were also affected.

But even so, it is expected that more than 200,000 new tourists will start pouring into the city next month.

The magic capital is one of the largest megacities in the country, but the sudden surge of 200,000 tourists is not so easy to deal with.

Not to mention, these 200,000 people are all going to stay in hotels, and the price of the Modu Hotel has been soaring since the end of last month.

This is only one aspect, 200,000 people eating, drinking, and Lazar is also a big problem, this month, the Modu Culture and Tourism Bureau has been busy with legs and stomachs, and is busy preparing for work.

This is the largest non-governmental charity activity in history involving the largest number of countries.

No one has any experience, and they all cross the river by feeling the stones.

Xinghai Culture is all working overtime, and more than half of the employees live directly in the company with bedding, and everyone is rotating in a row, striving to do a good job in this activity.
