: Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth Food War

After Li Yuanhong built the griffon lair, he returned to the office and began to think about how to deal with the remaining zombies in Vladivostok. After all, there are more than 100,000 zombies left, and most of these zombies are mutated zombies. Maybe the boat capsized on these zombies.
At this time, the office door was pounded and pushed open vigorously. Ma Fengyong ran in anxiously: "Brother Li, something has happened!"
Li Yuanhong frowned slightly. What happened to these people recently? They didn't knock at the door anymore! Li Yuanhong didn't struggle with this matter either, so he asked, "What happened?"
"Our food is almost gone!" Ma Fengyong said breathlessly.
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, drank the warm water in one breath, then put the cup on the table, wiped the water stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and exhaled gently before saying, "That's right, these two Today, some people in the market began to buy food on a large scale. The Minister of Commerce said that there is not much food in stock now. If there is no way, the food will be sold out in three days!"
When Li Yuanhong heard it, his brows frowned. How did it feel like the last commercial war, except that the other party did it sneakily last time, but this time he acted with great fanfare. It seems that these guys don't put themselves to death. Yeah. So Li Yuanhong asked, "Who is the other party?"
"The Minister of Commerce said that it was the one named Chen Yong last time, but this time he was buying food in a fair way, and we couldn't stop it like the last time."
"Well, it's not easy! By the way, how much did he spend on buying our food?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"This time he spent almost 50,000 crystal cores on the acquisition!"
"Fifty thousand? The number is not small. If you count what he lost last time, there are already seven to eighty thousand. This can only be obtained by killing seven to eighty thousand zombies. It is estimated that his snobbery after being taken is not small, but Xiang He I fight, he is almost, unless he can have a million crystal nuclei!" Li Yuanhong secretly calculated.
"Ma Fengyong, you go back and tell Shang Qiuyuan that in the past two days, you will control the foreign food sales. In addition to ensuring the residents' food, the foreign sales will be reduced by half, and you will declare to the public that Hunchun City is going to attack the zombies recently, so a part of it must be allocated. Military food, in order to prevent accidents, temporarily control the amount of food purchased, and return to normal after five days!" Li Yuanhong said to Ma Fengyong.
"Brother Li, can you recover in five days?" Ma Fengyong looked at Li Yuanhong with some doubts.
"Don't worry, there will be food delivered in five days. At that time, the other party will not prepare a few million crystal nuclei and never want to buy all my food!" Li Yuanhong said confidently.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell the Minister of Commerce to go." Ma Fengyong finished speaking, and went out anxiously.
The arrival of Ma Fengyong made Li Yuanhong feel the seriousness of the situation. After all, the position of Ma Fengyong among the people in charge of Hunchun City is a bit more relaxed. If the situation is not urgent, Shang Qiuyuan will just send a follower here. Li Yuanhong said to himself: "It seems that the offensive plan is going ahead!"
In the next three days, Hunchun City was enveloped in an atmosphere of inexplicable tension. Many businessmen began to raise the price of grain in their hands. Although the official grain price in Hunchun City has not changed, and there are no restrictions on the purchase of grain sold by civilians. The reduced amount of food sold in the market still makes many people smell unusual. At the same time, there is news in the market that Hunchun City’s reserves are about to run out, and there will be no grain to sell in two days, and that Hunchun might still the grain from these merchants at that time. This makes these merchants also anxious. Sell ​​the inventory in hand. After all, these merchants are composed of mercenaries, and there is no real business, and I don’t know what the hoarding and raising prices are. Soon the market, the food becomes priceless, and in addition to ordinary citizens, they can buy food from Shangqiu Yuan. In addition, the survivors who bought food from outside could no longer find a place to sell food.
Gao Zhiyuan was sitting in his office that day, wondering if he was going to Russia to get some food back. The last bullet gave him a small fortune. Although the fuel monopoly he had agreed with Li Yuanhong had not yet come true, After all, Li Yuanhong has not won the Russian fuel transfer station Shuangchengzi, so this matter has to wait. However, businessmen are not afraid of a lot of money. The recent food shortage incident has made Gao Zhiyuan aware of business opportunities. Recently, food prices have doubled, and there is a continuing upward trend. Although Hunchun announced that food supplies will return to normal in five days, this is the end of the world. , Food production has stagnated, it is so easy to find a large amount of food. Although Gao Zhiyuan admired Li Yuanhong very much, he did not believe that Li Yuanhong could win a city no smaller than Hunchun within five days, but he would have to face hundreds of thousands of zombies. Since he followed Li Yuanhong to Russia, Gao Zhiyuan has been deeply involved. Realized, the real corpse group is powerful.
Just as Gao Zhiyuan finished drinking the tea in the teapot in front of him, someone knocked on the door of the office. Gao Zhiyuan was taken aback, wondering, who would come to him at this time?
"Come in!" Gao Zhiyuan shouted in the voice of a superior.
The door opened, and one of his attendants came in. Now he is assigned to be in charge of this shop: "Gao Tou, the Minister of Commerce is here to find you!"
"Minister of Commerce? Hurry up!" After saying that, Gao Zhiyuan got up and went out to greet him.
Gao Zhiyuan welcomed Shang Qiuyuan in. After the two of them were seated, Gao Zhiyuan ordered: "Hurry up and see the Minister of Commerce tea."
Shang Qiuyuan quickly said: "Boss Gao, you don't have to be polite. Today I have something to discuss with you." After that, Shang Qiuyuan stopped talking, but looked at Gao Zhiyuan meaningfully.
Gao Zhiyuan, who has been in the mall for a long time, immediately understood what it meant, and quickly said to the person next to him: "Go down and guard at the door. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."
"Yes!" The attendant retired.
Only Shang Qiuyuan and Gao Zhiyuan were left in the house, so Gao Zhiyuan asked in a low voice, "What do you want from the Minister of Commerce here?"
"There is a secret commission, which needs to be kept strictly confidential." Shang Qiuyuan also lowered his voice.
"The Minister of Commerce can rest assured, no matter what dangerous commission, 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 is absolutely confidential." Shang Qiuyuan emphasized again.
"Okay, the Minister of Commerce just ask."
"That's it. Tonight, a batch of materials will be secretly transported into the city, and no one should be allowed to know. For this transportation, you can only use the vehicles of your Mercenary Association. None of our vehicles in Hunchun City can be used. Also, transport Personnel must be managed centrally within five days and cannot go out privately. You'd better find a reason to make others think that you are doing the task."
Gao Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "No problem, how many vehicles are needed this time, and where to transport? What remuneration?" Gao Zhiyuan is in business, and this negotiation is essential.
"The reward is one hundred crystal nuclei per vehicle, twenty trucks are needed, and it is estimated that the entire transportation needs to run three times to the first terminal at 10 o'clock in the evening. Enter the city from the secret city gate at the north gate, so before entering the city, We need to change the driver outside the west gate."
"Okay, no problem!" Gao Zhiyuan answered quickly. After the two parties had negotiated, Shangqiuyuan hurriedly left.
After sending off Shangqiu Yuan, Gao Zhiyuan returned to the house and thought about it. Suddenly, Gao Zhiyuan shouted outside the door: "Xiao Gao, come in quickly."
Gao Zhiyuan's follower rushed in, Gao Zhiyuan whispered a few words to this follower, and then the follower looked at Gao Zhiyuan with surprise: "Boss, do you really want to do this? Aren't we at a loss?"
"Loss? We are making a lot of money, and we won't have this chance to make money anymore! Go ahead and do it."
So in the afternoon, news broke that Boss Gao sold all the food he had hoarded because he was afraid of Li Yuanhong’s compulsory purchase of grain. As a result, dozens of tons of grain of Gao Zhiyuan were sold out that afternoon.
Due to Gao Zhiyuan's sell-off, two more stores couldn't resist the pressure in the next two days and sold the grain in their hands. The total sales reached nearly 200 tons. Since then, there has been no grain sales in the market.
On the day when the time limit for the announcement came, people were watching the official store in Hunchun City. Although the store was open as usual, a notice was hung at the door: the store’s grain sales were suspended and normal in the afternoon.
Although the notice stated that it was back to normal in the afternoon, no one believed it, because today the official shops, even the residents' daily food, stopped selling.
