In Dubai, DuPont CEO and his team were warmly welcomed by Mohammed, the Crown Prince of the Desert.
Mohammad wore a white burqa and held a grand meeting in the splendid palace.
The two parties chatted for a while and then quickly got down to business.
Mohammad had an anxious look on his face. Desert locusts have also been raging in Dubai recently, scaring all the tourists away. The economic situation has plummeted.
However, desert countries rely on imports for most of their food. The threat of locusts to agriculture is not great, and the impact is mainly reflected in the economy.
After listening to the product introductions of the three agrochemical giants, his frown suddenly relaxed and he made a decisive choice.
"We in the desert country are not short of money. It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. We just need the best insecticides. That biopesticide sounds great. The insecticidal effect is second best. The main reason is that it causes less environmental pollution. This is very important to us. important."
"As we all know, Dubai is the hub of a desert peninsula. In a desert, there are oases everywhere and high-rise buildings. It is the favorite Garden of Eden for tourists from all over the world. Such beautiful scenery costs a lot of money."
"If the sprayed pesticides will pollute the environment and cause harm to the human body, will tourists come here to play at the risk of poisoning? And without tourism, how can our economy be sustained?"
DuPont CEO Robert nodded in agreement: "The Crown Prince is indeed wise. The biopesticides we jointly developed with Roche are very environmentally friendly and will definitely meet your requirements."
"That's good. Let's sign the contract as soon as possible and order 1,000 tons immediately. I want to try the effect in Dubai first, and then spread it to other places."
Mohammad quickly placed an order. Most of his country is desert, and locusts are raging mainly in major cities, so these 1,000 tons should be enough. If not, he can continue to buy.
DuPont's new drug costs US$200,000 per ton, and one order costs US$200 million. Only rich people like Desert Country can afford it.
Robert suddenly smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. The profit of this order was higher than that of the original medicine. This deal was so cost-effective. After the effectiveness of the locust extermination in Dubai was revealed, there would be no need to worry about other countries on the desert peninsula not placing orders. You will definitely make a lot of money at that time.
Robert stayed in the desert country to prepare for the plane spraying pesticides, while the CEOs of Bayer and BASF continued to the country of Tianzhu.
The two of them were also prepared for this. The countries on the desert peninsula are all rich and have little agriculture. They must buy the most expensive and best medicine. Bayer's heavily polluted locust killer medicine will probably have to find buyers further east. .
Sure enough, President Tianzhu expressed strong interest in this.
The effectiveness of BASF's old pesticides is unknown, but the price is cheap, only US$40,000 per ton.
However, Bayer’s new locust-killing drug is extremely effective and only costs US$50,000 per ton, making it a bargain.
Although ordinary insecticides only cost 30,000 US dollars per ton in the off-season, this is a new drug with special effects against locusts. Now is the time of disaster. Pesticides are sold like crazy and out of stock everywhere, so the price is naturally not expensive at all.
President Tianzhu nodded secretly. The Europeans were kind and much friendlier than the treacherous Eagle Country people. At this time, they did not rip off customers and gave such a kind price.
The two parties quickly signed a contract, but President Tianzhu considered that there was a big enemy not far from him, which attracted the main firepower of the locusts last time. The damage to his house was not serious, and the main focus was on prevention and control, so the order was not large. Only 1,000 tons were ordered.
As for the environmental pollution problem caused by Bayer's insecticides, President Tianzhu thinks it is not a big problem. As long as the price is cheap and the killing rate is high, environmental pollution is just a problem. It is better than losing food.
After going around in a circle, the BASF CEO didn't sign a single order. He couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he could only sell pesticides to the Filipino brothers.
If this is the case, the output can be increased and the factory's inventory can be doubled to 5,000 tons, which should be able to meet the needs of one or two Philippine countries.
Before leaving, he looked to the left and then to the right. The Persian country on the left was being sanctioned by the Eagle Country and could not sell pesticides. The Pakistani country on the right was fighting fiercely with China and would definitely give priority to purchase. Syngenta pesticides.
He found that BASF had nothing to do with these two disaster-stricken countries, so he returned to the Philippines at the speed of light.
Returning to the Philippine Alliance Center in Ethiopia again, BASF CEO found Jemol with confidence.
"How are you thinking about it? I looked around and found that the locust plague was too serious, so I specifically applied to the board of directors to have a factory in Europa suspend maintenance and re-produce a batch of goods. Finally, I collected 5,000 tons of pesticides. , should be enough for you to use for a while.”
Jermall smiled faintly: "Oh, really? That's really troublesome for you. But while you were away, we had already signed a contract with a Chinese company, and their first batch of drugs has just been delivered. We will start tomorrow We’re about to start killing locusts.”
BASF CEO smiled slightly: "Is it Syngenta's pesticide? I haven't heard that they have developed a new locust-killing pesticide. They must be using old pesticides. The effect is the same as ours, and the price is about the same."
"I heard that Bucky also bought pesticides from Syngenta. I suspect that their production capacity may not be enough. You in the Philippines need a lot of pesticides, so it would be no problem to buy pesticides from both of us at the same time."
Jemol shook his head: "It's not Syngenta, it's Sanqing Pharmaceutical's special insecticide."
The CEO of BASF was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
After a few seconds, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is too ridiculous. If I guessed correctly, Sanqing Pharmaceutical is a pharmaceutical company. They research drugs for human use. I have never heard that they have Pesticides have been developed.”
"If we were developing drugs for human use, I wouldn't have any doubts about Sanqing's strength. But this is a pesticide. It's an area Sanqing has never been involved in. How could it be developed so quickly?"
"Are you kidding me? I..."
Jamol interrupted him with a wave of his hand and handed over a tablet showing a locust extermination video.
"First of all, take a look at this video. This is the scene of Pakistan using Sanqing's insecticide to eliminate the locust plague."
The CEO of BASF looked at the picture on the tablet in shock.
A Bashshak trainer aircraft was soaring in the sky, with swarms of insects like dark clouds beneath it.
The plane hovered over the locust swarms, with long spray poles extending from its abdomen, and countless nozzles spraying pesticides into the air.
The white mist formed by pesticides enveloped the locust swarm like a veil, and soon disappeared.
However, the locust swarm seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and began to riot.
After a while, the locusts fell from the sky in pieces, and soon the blue sky and white clouds were revealed.
The entire swarm of locusts, like a dark cloud, completely disappeared.
The plane drew a curve on the horizon and quickly flew into the distance.
The CEO of BASF stretched out his trembling hands, clicked on the screen, and replayed the video several times.
He finally confirmed that everything in the video was true.
"Oops," he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and thought with great frustration, "our insecticide is in our hands."
At this time, both Tianzhu and Desert Country also received the first batch of pesticides and began large-scale locust extermination operations.
Mohammed stood on a tall building, holding a telescope and looking at the locust swarms in the distance.
Robert stood by, smiling and confident.
Behind the two people stood a group of TV reporters with cameras, ready to take pictures of this beautiful locust extermination scene.
Soon, planes were loaded with enough pesticides and took off quickly, spraying pesticides over Dubai.
Many people from desert countries, wearing headscarves, cheered loudly in the buildings.
Mohammad stroked his beard and couldn't help but smile.
He believes that with DuPont’s reputation and strength, this locust plague will be resolved quickly.
One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed.
The locust swarms in the sky are still flying around, rushing towards the green areas, gnawing to their heart's content.
They looked very hungry. They ate whatever they saw and gnawed all the green trees bare.
The smile on Mohammad's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Robert and asked rudely: "Didn't you say that the pesticide developed by DuPont is a new fast-acting pesticide? The killing rate has reached 100%. 90%, the effect is three times better than the previous biopesticides?”
Robert nodded: "Yes, it is indeed better than the previous one. The previous biological pesticides took ten days to take effect. With our new product, the effective time has been shortened to three days."
"If you spray pesticides now, the locusts will die in swarms in three days. It will also reduce the reproduction rate and is very friendly to the environment."
"Isn't it amazing?"
Mohammad's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to spit in Robert's face.
It takes 3 days to take effect. Is this what DuPont calls a quick effect?
In three days, not to mention the green trees in Dubai, even the grass will be gnawed away by locusts.
