Even if these tea plantation owners are willing to pay a lot of money to dredge, but no one dares to accept a greedy government official, of course, this is also because Mr. Gather came forward, no one dares to only collect money and do nothing, many people directly say that this money is too hot, not only to offend the Ministry of Railways, but also to open this opening too much responsibility, no one can afford it and is not willing to bear.

If these people's concerns can be understood, then the words of some confused officials make him almost can't help but curse, because someone is actually saying: "You tea merchants are too, why do you have to build a tea garden in a place with such bad transportation, just find a convenient place to plant tea trees." This kind of words similar to "why not eat minced meat" made Shakru very suspicious of how this kind of guy who only grows fat and no brains got into the government.

Fortunately, his efforts are not without results, and Pradan, a powerful figure in the Ministry of Oil, said after listening to Sha Kelu say that he could come up with a huge amount of dredging money: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to do this, but there are more joints that need to be opened." ”

Shakru said without hesitation: "As long as the matter can be done, this matter is now a matter of life and death for these tea plantation owners, so they are willing to pay any price." ”

Hearing Shakru say this, Pradhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you can 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?"

"Of course it matters, it's just a little bit bigger. Do you know what is on the top of our oil ministry right now?" Pradhan replied slowly.

Shakru shook his head and said, "How can I, a small businessman, know about such a big thing. ”

Pradhan explained: "The priority of our oil ministry is to reduce crude oil imports and reduce dependence on foreign crude oil, and now we in India have become the fourth largest consumer of crude oil products in the world, after the United States, China and RB. This large consumption also makes us the world's fourth largest oil importer, this year alone, the country's crude oil demand is as much as 410,000 barrel days, while the domestic crude oil supply is only about 1oo million barrel days, and the crude oil supply gap is widening.

More worryingly, India's oil demand is set to rise over the next two years as India's transport sector and industry continue to expand, as well as government incentives for infrastructure such as high-speed roads and manufacturing. Although the decline in energy prices is a good thing for India, a major oil consumer, in the long run, if energy prices continue to fall, India's upstream investment in oil and gas projects will definitely decrease, which means that India's oil technology research will be affected. ”

"I know that, but what does it have to do with growing jatropha trees?" Shakru was still confused.

Pradan said with some displeasure: "What are you in a hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." To solve this problem, we decided to mix ethanol in gasoline and biodiesel in conventional diesel. And this biodiesel is derived from biofuel crops, the most typical crop of which is jatropha tree.

Next year, our plan is to achieve a 5% mixture of gasoline and conventional diesel, which requires a large number of biofuel crops, which are jatropha, so if you say that these tea plantation owners are willing to sign a contract with our Ministry of Petroleum to ensure the supply of jatropha, then we can use the problem of biofuel crop supply to renovate their railway, which is carried out by our Ministry of Petroleum, so no one can find fault with it, but these funds must be provided by them, we are only responsible for providing a name, of course, as for the use of this railway, we will not interfere, they can run it independently。 ”

Hearing this, Shakru finally understood what Pradhan meant, and sighed in his heart that this circle was really big enough, but it was not a solution, but Shakru still had a question, so he asked: "But the question is, is this jatropha you said suitable for planting on the plateau?"

Pradhan glared at Shakru and complained, "Why are you so stupid, all we want from the Ministry of Oil is the supply of jatropha trees, who cares where he grows them!

Listening to Pradan's words, Sha Keru couldn't help but pat his forehead, he was indeed stupid, how could he forget such an obvious and common government operation method, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm stupid." Eh, by the way, Mr. Pradan, is this biodiesel really that good?"

"It's definitely not as good as conventional diesel, but it's also something that can't be helped, we have to make some attitude to let those foreign suppliers see that we are not at their mercy, and in any case, this biodiesel is much more reliable than the gutter oil fuel that the Ministry of Science and Technology is engaged in." Pradhan said disapprerovingly.

"What?gutter fuel?" Shakru wondered if he had misheard.

"That's right, it's gutter fuel. I don't know what the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology think, but they actually plan to refine fuel from the cooking oil that has been used, that is, gutter oil. Their theory is that India is a big country of fried food, and the amount of edible oil consumed every year is 2ooo to 2200000 tons, and if a reliable system is established to collect and use these second-hand oils, then it is possible to extract 2oo00000 tons of biodiesel from it.

Although I have seen too many Indians brain-opening and various ideas over the years, the idea of this gutter oil fuel is still shocking Shakru, which is too unbelievable. After a long time, Shakru relieved himself and asked, "So, how is this matter being studied now?"

"There is no sign at all, I guess this is the guy from the Ministry of Science and Technology who is cheating on funds, but it was passed, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, you quickly go back and ask those tea plantation owners, do you recognize this plan, if you do, then you have to hurry up, there are many joints to be opened." ”
