Under the guidance of the canteen staff, Zhang Hao took a dinner plate with his own hands, then randomly selected a window and consciously stood at the end of the line.
In less than five minutes, it was his turn.
As expected, the staff meal was very simple. It was neither as good nor as bad as expected. There was no distinction between staple food and side dishes, just a pot of hodgepodge.
Zhang Hao poked it twice with a kuai. There were rice, cabbage, onions and potatoes in it. It looked okay, very healthy, and not something to fool people.
After finishing the meal, he found an empty table with his dinner plate. Jiao Huaxian followed him and sat on the opposite side. Finally, Zhou Jianneng and Lu Gangliang also sat down.
The four of us just shared a table.
Soon someone brought four bowls of soup. It was the common kelp soup. The clear soup was watery and there was no oil star in sight.
Jiao Huaxian said apologetically: "Director Zhang, Mr. Zhou, our Minde is a small city and our conditions are limited. Please bear with us."
"Leader, is there sufficient food supply in the city?"
Zhang Hao asked casually.
"It can only be said that we are not optimistic." Jiao Huaxian shook his head and then explained: "As we all know, the terrain characteristics of our Fujian state are known as 'eight mountains, one water and one field', and the food self-sufficiency rate is very low. If there is no
The federal grain reserves have already left hungry people everywhere."
Zhang Hao picked up the dinner plate and took a bite of the hodgepodge. There was no discomfort on his face. He had suffered a lot in the dream, and even chewed mud in the worst time.
"Leader, stockpiling food is not a long-term solution. In my opinion, it can only last for another two or three years at most. It is best to make plans in advance."
Jiao Huaxian quickly asked: "Director Zhang, can you tell me specifically what preparations need to be made?"
Southeast Fisheries is a stroke of genius.
He has long wanted to find a topic to talk about.
"First of all, I personally think that we must be mentally prepared for a protracted war; secondly, try to build as many plantations as possible and then conduct unified management; and lastly, and most importantly..."
Zhang Hao paused deliberately.
"What is it?" Lu Gangliang couldn't help but interrupt.
"No matter how much it costs, try to stockpile as much coal and oil as possible. Energy is the foundation of everything."
Jiao Huaxian immediately shook his head: "Director Zhang, the importance of energy is unquestionable. If possible, we would also like to purchase more energy. Unfortunately, we cannot buy it now. We can only wait for the regular allocation from the Ministry of Energy." p>
"Leader, in addition to coal, oil and natural gas, firewood can actually be used instead. You just said that Minzhou is mountainous. I think as long as you are willing to raise the purchase price, everything will not be a problem." Zhang Hao suggested.
In the next three years, due to the energy crisis, almost all the trees in the mainland will be cut down, and in some areas even the roots of the trees will not be spared.
Of course, even if they are not cut down, these trees will rot sooner or later. With the extreme cold and lack of sunlight, no wild plants can survive.
"The problem is that the city doesn't have the money."
Jiao Huaxian replied while eating.
"There is no money to raise electricity prices."
Zhang Hao seems to have become a greedy capitalist.
Jiao Huaxian couldn't help but be stunned: "The local electricity prices are uniform, how can we increase the electricity prices?"
"Leader, please don't forget that due to last year's snowstorm, the local power grid was completely disconnected. Currently, they are all working independently, and there is a high probability that they will not be restored in the future. If this is the case, why can't prices be increased?"
"Well, even if you are right, the price of electricity is almost 20 yuan per unit now. Is there any room for increase? If it continues to increase, who can afford it?"
Jiao Huaxian frowned.
"If you can't afford it, don't use it. It doesn't matter if residents use less electricity. At most, it will make their lives inconvenient. The excess electricity can be left to factories, especially plantations. Once industrial production is interrupted, that will be the most fatal." Zhang Hao explained patiently.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Huaxian immediately put down Kuaizi and whispered, "Director Zhang, do you have any inside information here? If it's convenient, you might as well reveal it?"
The person in front of me is not an ordinary person. He has a very close relationship with the upper echelons of the federation. Not to mention the Southeast Fisheries, Dawn New Energy is not something ordinary people can get involved in.
"There is no inside story." Zhang Hao shook his head, "To be honest with you two, I made an inference based on the current situation. I believe that an unprecedented energy crisis will inevitably break out in the next few years."
"How can you see it?" Jiao Huaxian asked quickly.
"Europa is already in chaos, and it will definitely affect the oil-producing areas in the Middle East. This is inevitable."
"Hiss? So serious?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the other party thoughtfully: "The higher-ups are preparing for war. I think the leaders should know better than me."
】
The old fox is still pretending to be stupid with him.
"Preparing for famine and war is just a precaution." Jiao Huaxian waved his hand quickly, "However, Director Zhang, your speculation is very feasible. The city really needs to pay attention to it, but the electricity price..."
"I suggest that we just do it in one step and directly increase the basic electricity price to 100 yuan per kilowatt hour."
Zhang Hao didn't hesitate at all.
This is also the electricity price for next year, but it is only one year in advance. Purchasing wood one year in advance can greatly alleviate future energy pressure.
"One hundred dollars?"
The other three people were shocked.
If this price is announced, it will most likely be criticized. Maybe even the city government will be criticized by the people to relieve their hatred.
Zhang Hao said solemnly: "Although the price of electricity is high, as long as they don't use electricity or use less electricity, the burden on ordinary people is not very heavy. What we are harvesting is the leeks of the rich. To be honest, they don't care about this little money."
”
"What about industrial electricity? Factories are big consumers of electricity." Lu Gangliang's face was solemn.
"Subsidies can be provided to factories in difficulty."
Zhang Hao replied.
"But..." Jiao Huaxian opened his mouth, and then sighed deeply: "Alas..."
At this sensitive moment, he really doesn't dare challenge the fragile nerves of the people casually.
"Leader, this is also to put the bitterness first and then the sweetness. Once an energy crisis does occur, the city can deal with it calmly and not be helpless."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but persuade.
Jiao Huaxian nodded seriously: "The city will consider it carefully. No matter what the final result is, I want to say thank you on behalf of the city."
"You're welcome." Zhang Hao waved his hand towards the other party, "Actually, the reason why I made the suggestion is also selfish. If the city's power supply is insufficient, it will definitely affect the production of Minde Times and the recycling factory." p>
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. It is our official responsibility to ensure the power supply. Minde Times is our pillar industry. Even if the city government's power supply is cut off, we will give priority to ensuring your power consumption."
Jiao Huaxian made a commitment on the spot.
Next, Zhang Hao had a brief chat with several employees next to him. They didn't talk about any sensitive topics. They mainly talked about some household matters and just wanted to express their feelings.
