Zhang Hao quickly explained: "Second sister, aren't I starting a business? I happened to take over a large shopping mall with an area of more than 3,000 square meters. No matter how much food I have, I can sell it."
"Shopping mall? In today's big environment, you actually dare to open a physical store? What do you think?"
"Second sister, have you ever heard of a saying? 'I am greedy when others are afraid, and I am afraid when others are greedy.' Only by going against the grain can you make a fortune. You will never make big money by following the crowd."
"You're talking about stock trading, right?"
Zhang Jiayi rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, the meaning is the same. If you don't believe me, read on. This earthquake will definitely trigger widespread panic. It is estimated that there will be a wave of panic buying soon. Your brother and I are destined to make a lot of money." p>
"Bah, it's just a blind cat that encounters a dead mouse!"
Zhang Jiayi has to admit that my little brother is really lucky.
"Hey, don't care if you are a blind cat or not. Anyway, I opened the right shopping mall. Just give me all the food in stock and I will give you twice the market price."
"Are you serious?" Zhang Jiayi said in surprise.
"I'm not a child, how can I joke with you? Let's do this, I will transfer 2 billion to your account tomorrow, and you can help me convert it all into food."
In fact, Zhang Hao has already had similar ideas.
He knew nothing about the grain trade, so it was most reliable to leave it to his second sister, who was the professional.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Their company obviously only sold for 1.5 billion.
"I started a business partnership with someone else, and each party paid one billion." Zhang Hao made it up casually.
"With so much money, don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Jiayi couldn't help but persuade.
"Second sister, let me tell you straight. We are all optimistic about rising food prices in the future. Even if there is no end of the world this time, as long as the volcano is unstable, we will not have to worry about selling food. At most, it will be a matter of making more or less.
”
"Have you thought it through yourself?"
"Don't miss this opportunity; the time will never come again!"
Zhang Hao is decisive.
Zhang Jiayi is not an indecisive person:
"Okay, leave this to me! The most important thing in Ralston is farms. Two billion can buy all the local grain. It shouldn't be twice the market price. I will try my best to help you lower the purchase price.
”
"Second sister, don't lower the price too hard. Just give it a try, but you have to do it quickly, otherwise the price will definitely rise sharply when the market reacts."
"You don't need to tell me, I understand."
"By the way, don't be too picky. Try to buy whatever you can. I won't be picky here, and it doesn't matter if the quality is a little low. At worst, it will definitely not be a loss if it is shipped back to be used as feed."
"Are you too impatient?"
"Second sister, I am also thinking about your safety. Don't wait any longer. Finish the matter as soon as possible, and then fly back directly with the second brother-in-law and the others."
After all, the later it gets, the harder it is to buy a plane ticket.
And the price is extremely expensive.
"I got it." Zhang Jiayi couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, "I didn't hang up beforehand. You can call my mother later to make sure I'm safe. I may not be able to get through here."
"No problem, I'll call you later."
……
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao first called his home. After his mother received the message, she said "God bless" three times into the phone.
Especially after hearing that the second sister planned to come back, I even agreed with her hands and wished I could see the second sister and her family tomorrow.
After dealing with his mother, Zhang Hao immediately contacted Manager Liu of Guangdong Shipping Co., Ltd.
"Manager Liu, I am Zhang Hao, do you still have any impressions?"
"Mr. Zhang? Hello! Hello!"
Manager Liu immediately recalled the other party.
In Huicheng, this person is now considered a prominent figure, especially the previous "sky-high price canned food" incident, which made the people of Huicheng remember this black-hearted boss.
"I'm not disturbing your work, right? I have something to ask you."
"Don't bother me, please tell me!"
"That's it. Has the 'Shunda' under my name arrived at the Port of Los Angeles?"
As early as a month ago, Zhang Hao made clear his request for use and asked the other party to sail the cargo ship directly to the Port of Los Angeles, the largest port on the west coast.
"It arrived a week ago. I was just about to inform you that if you don't have business needs, there are big customers who are willing to rent the 'Shunda' at a high price."
"Oh? What's the price?"
Zhang Hao asked smoothly.
"It's almost twice the usual shipping cost."
Manager Liu quickly replied.
Zhang Hao suddenly had an idea: "Manager Liu, I just received a big order here, and I am worried about not being able to find the cargo ship? Do you have any extra ships here?"
If there is extra transportation capacity, he doesn't mind working on a big job again. Whether he makes money or not is secondary. The main reason is to transport more food back.
To be honest, he still feels a little guilty.
In fact, as long as he is willing to disclose the secret, he may be able to save more people and materials, but he really does not dare to risk himself and his family.
After all, in the dream, this happened more than 20 years ago. Many things are blurred. I only know a rough idea and there is no way to verify it.
To give the most obvious example, fortunately the day of the incident happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise he would not even be able to remember the specific time of the volcanic eruption, let alone other things.
This is really no joke.
If you make random predictions, you will end up either drinking tea in a police station or being imprisoned in a mental hospital.
After all, the "doomsday" thing is just a plot in a novel, but no one believes it in reality.
"Well, yes, there is..."
Manager Liu obviously wanted to wait for the price. Not long after the earthquake, his company had received several times the usual orders. It was now a seller's market.
"I'm willing to pay ten times the shipping cost."
Zhang Hao said neatly.
After all, no matter how expensive the freight is, it is nothing compared to the huge profits. His idea is to cut the knot quickly to avoid unnecessary complications.
"Oh? Mr. Zhang, are you kidding me?"
"No kidding, I am in a hurry with this shipment, so please help me."
Manager Liu had no reason to refuse: "No problem, but we have to wait a week or two..."
"Okay, I'll come over and sign the contract right away."
Zhang Hao said impatiently.
Due to limited traffic in the disaster area, procurement and transportation also take a long time. As long as we can leave before mid-September, there is a high probability that it will be in time.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Federation will immediately declare a state of emergency, and then launch a general mobilization to launch a comprehensive rescue operation. At that time, all transport ships will be uniformly mobilized, and there will be no room for private intervention.
"Mr. Zhang, how many goods do you have here?"
"About half a million tons. Anyway, the more the merrier. Can it be done?"
"Half a million tons? It's a bit difficult! If it's two to three hundred thousand tons, it should be no problem."
"It's okay. You try to find it. The freight is not a problem. I can eat even one million tons."
