Chapter 140 Food War

After Li Yuanhong built the griffon nest, he returned to the office and began to think about how to deal with the remaining zombies in Vladivostok. After all, there were more than 100,000 zombies left, and most of these zombies were mutated zombies. If he was not careful, he would Maybe the ship capsized on these zombies.

At this time, the office door was pushed open with a bang, and Ma Fengyong ran in in a hurry: "Brother Li, something big happened!"

Li Yuanhong frowned slightly, what's wrong with these people recently? They don't even knock on the door when they come in! Li Yuanhong didn't hesitate on this matter, so he asked: "What happened?"

"Our food is almost sold out!" Ma Feng said with courage and panting.

Li Yuanhong stood up, poured a glass of water, and gave it to Ma Fengyong: "Drink a glass of water and speak slowly!"

Ma Fengyong took the cup, raised his neck, and drank the warm water in one breath. Then he put the cup on the table, wiped the water stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and exhaled softly before saying: "That's it, these two Today, someone in the market started to buy grains in a big way, and the Minister of Commerce said that there is not much grain in stock now, and if we don’t think of a way, all the grain will be sold out in three days!”

When Li Yuanhong heard this, he frowned. This felt like the same pattern as the last business war, except that last time the other party did it secretly, but this time they acted with great fanfare. It seems that these guys will not give up until they put themselves to death. ah. So Li Yuanhong asked: "Who is the other party?"

"Minister of Shang said that it's still the same person named Chen Yong from last time, but this time he is buying grain legitimately, and we can't stop him like last time."

"Well, it's hard to handle! By the way, how much did he spend to buy our grain?" Li Yuanhong asked.

"This time he spent almost 50,000 yuan on crystal cores!"

"Fifty thousand? It's not a small number. If you include what he lost last time, it's already 70,000 or 80,000. This can only be obtained by killing 70,000 or 80,000 zombies. It is estimated that he will be snobbish after being killed, but Xiang He If I fight, he is still close, unless he can have one million crystal cores!" Li Yuanhong secretly calculated in his heart.

"Ma Fengyong, go back and tell Shangqiu Yuan that in the past two days, we will control the external food sales. In addition to ensuring the residents' food, we will reduce the external sales by half. Then declare to the outside world that Hunchun City will launch an attack on zombies recently, so we will allocate part of it to the outside world." Military rations, in order to prevent accidents, we temporarily control the quantity of grain outsourcing, and it will return to normal in five days!" Li Yuanhong said to Ma Fengyong.

"Brother Li, will you be able to recover in five days?" Ma Fengyong looked at Li Yuanhong with some confusion.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be food shipped in five days. If the other party doesn't prepare millions of crystal nuclei then, they can't even think of buying up all my food!" Li Yuanhong said confidently.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the Minister of Commerce." After Ma Fengyong said that, he went out in a hurry.

The arrival of Ma Fengyong made Li Yuanhong feel the seriousness of the situation. After all, among the people in charge of Hunchun City, Ma Fengyong was the only one with a more leisurely position. If the situation was not urgent, Shangqiu Yuan could just send a follower over. Li Yuanhong said to himself: "It seems that the attack plan will be advanced!"

In the next three days, Hunchun City was shrouded in an inexplicable tense atmosphere. Many merchants began to increase the price of food in their hands. Although the official food price in Hunchun City has remained unchanged, and there is no purchase limit on food sold to civilians, there is no limit on food sold to civilians. The reduced grain sales in the market still make many people smell something strange. At the same time, there is news that Hunchun City's reserves are about to be exhausted, and there will be no food to sell in two days. Moreover, Hunchun may also snatch the food from these merchants. This makes these merchants anxious and one after another. Sell ​​your inventory. After all, these merchants were all mercenaries. They had no real business experience and did not know what hoarding and raising prices was. Soon, food became priceless in the market. In addition to ordinary citizens, they could also buy food from Shangqiu Yuana. Outside, the survivors who came from outside to buy food could no longer find a place to sell it.

Gao Zhiyuan was sitting in his office that day, wondering whether he should go to Russia and get some food back. The last bullet made him make a small fortune. Although the fuel monopoly agreed with Li Yuanhong has not yet been realized, After all, Li Yuanhong has not yet captured the Russian fuel transfer station Shuangchengzi, so this matter will have to wait. But businessmen are not afraid of money. The recent food shortage incident has made Gao Zhiyuan smell business opportunities. Food prices have doubled recently, and there is a trend of continuing to rise. Although Hunchun announced that the food supply will return to normal in five days, in this apocalyptic world , food production has stagnated, and it is not that easy to find a large amount of food. Although Gao Zhiyuan admired Li Yuanhong, he did not believe that Li Yuanhong could capture a city no smaller than Hunchun in five days. He would have to face hundreds of thousands of zombies. Ever since he followed Li Yuanhong to Russia, Gao Zhiyuan was deeply moved. I realized how powerful the real zombie group is.

Just as Gao Zhiyuan finished drinking the tea in the teapot in front of him, there was a knock on the office door. Gao Zhiyuan was stunned and felt very puzzled, who would come to him at this time?

"Come in!" Gao Zhiyuan shouted with the tone of a superior.

The door opened, and in came one of his followers, who was now assigned to be in charge of this store: "Tou Gao, the Minister of Commerce is here to see you!"

"Minister Shang? Please invite me quickly!" After saying that, Gao Zhiyuan stood up and went out to greet him.

Gao Zhiyuan welcomed Shang Qiuyuan in. After the two sat down, Gao Zhiyuan ordered: "Hurry and show Minister Shang some tea."

Shangqiu Yuan said quickly: "Boss Gao, you don't have to be polite. I have something to discuss with you today." After saying that, Shang Qiu Yuan stopped talking and looked at Gao Zhiyuan meaningfully.

Gao Zhiyuan, who has been in shopping malls for a long time, immediately understood what he meant and quickly told the person next to him: "Go down and guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."

"Yes!" The attendant withdrew.

Only Shang Qiuyuan and Gao Zhiyuan were left in the room, so Gao Zhiyuan asked in a low voice: "What is Minister Shang's order here?"

"There is a secret commission that needs to be kept strictly confidential." Shangqiu Yuan also lowered his voice and said.

"Don't worry, Minister Shang. No matter what the dangerous commission is, as long as there is a chance to complete it, I will definitely accept it. There is absolutely no problem in keeping it confidential."

"There is no danger, it's just absolute confidentiality." Shangqiu Yuan emphasized again.

"Okay, Minister Shang, just ask."

"That's right, a batch of supplies will be transported into the city secretly tonight, and no one can know about it. Only the vehicles of your mercenary association can be used for this transportation. None of our Hunchun City vehicles can be used. Also, transportation The personnel must be under centralized management within five days and cannot go out privately. You'd better find a reason to make others think you are on a mission."

Gao Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "No problem, how many vehicles are needed this time, and where will they be transported? What is the compensation?" Gao Zhiyuan is in business, and price negotiation is essential.

"The reward is one hundred crystal cores per vehicle. Twenty trucks are required. We will arrive at the first dock at ten o'clock in the evening. It is estimated that the entire transportation will require three trips. Enter the city through the secret gate at the north gate, so before entering the city, The driver needs to be replaced by one of our people outside the west gate."

"Okay, no problem!" Gao Zhiyuan replied readily. After the two parties negotiated, Shangqiu Yuan left in a hurry.

After sending Shang Qiuyuan away, Gao Zhiyuan returned to the house and thought carefully about the matter. Suddenly, Gao Zhiyuan shouted to the door: "Xiao Gao, come in quickly."

Gao Zhiyuan's follower quickly ran in. Gao Zhiyuan whispered a few words to the follower, and then the follower looked at Gao Zhiyuan in surprise: "Boss, do you really want to do this? Aren't we losing money?"

"Loss? This is a huge profit for us. If it's too late, we won't have this opportunity to make money! Hurry up and do it."

So in the afternoon of that day, news came out that Boss Gao was afraid that Li Yuanhong would force him to purchase grain, so he sold all the grain he had hoarded. As a result, that afternoon, dozens of tons of Gao Zhiyuan's grain were sold out in an instant.

Due to Gao Zhiyuan's selling, two more stores could not withstand the pressure and sold their grain in the next two days. The total sales reached nearly 200 tons. Since then, there has been no grain sales in the market.

On the day when the announcement deadline came, people were waiting to see what happened at the official store in Hunchun City. Although the store was open as usual, a notice was hung at the door: Food sales in our store are suspended and will return to normal in the afternoon.

Although the notice said that things would return to normal in the afternoon, no one believed it because official shops and even residents’ daily food had stopped selling today.
