After talking to Steven on the phone, Zhang Hao became more and more unwilling to give in, so he bit the bullet and called Mayor He. The other party actually bypassed him and contacted his second sister directly, which was a bit excessive.
"Mayor He, I am Zhang Hao!"
"Mr. Zhang? You came just in time. I want to say thank you on behalf of the people of Huicheng. You had the foresight. What I heard you was right."
Mayor He was in a good mood and put a tall hat on Zhang Hao as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhang Hao quickly said modestly: "I'm serious."
"This is not a compliment, I really want to thank you." Mayor He then said sincerely:
"I won't hide it from you. Not long ago, the federal government suddenly issued an emergency document, requiring all regions to actively prepare for disasters. It is said that the possibility of the Sulfonite Volcano erupting this time is as high as 30%."<
/p>
"Thirty percent? So high?"
Zhang Hao deliberately pretended to be surprised.
"I guess more than that, the past two days have obviously become more serious. It has been such a troubled time!"
Mayor He couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Hao immediately expressed his position: "Mayor He, I am willing to resell all the grain I purchased from the other side of the ocean to the city at the original price."
"Mr. Zhang, are you serious about this?"
Mayor He cheered up.
At present, international food prices are skyrocketing. If the current trend continues, by the time this batch of food arrives in Hong Kong, the price will at least double or triple.
If during this period, Sulfonite Volcano erupted.
Then it is possible to double it tenfold.
"Mayor He, you also know that I have made a lot of money through canned doomsday. Money is enough, but more is not good."
Zhang Hao said politely.
In a few days, the federation will declare a state of emergency, and local officials will completely transform from "small officials" to "big officials", with unlimited expansion of administrative power.
If you don’t embrace the official side now, when will you wait?
No matter whether the other party is sincere or not, what Mayor He cares about most is the ownership of the food:
"Mr. Zhang, there is no need to pay the original price. I think it is better to wait for this batch of grain to arrive in Hong Kong and the city will purchase it at the market price? What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhang Hao immediately understood the other party's intention. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to take the risk himself.
If the Sulfur Rock Volcano is completely stabilized in a month, food prices will definitely drop significantly by then, and the city will save a lot of money.
And if the volcano erupts, the city will not lose.
When the time comes, you will earn money if you buy it.
However, this is also very beneficial to Zhang Hao. Although he does not intend to make money, the money will come to his door automatically, and it is free of charge.
Anyway, the favor has been given away.
Mayor He was overjoyed after hearing this: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, when will you have time here? We are in business, it is best to sign a pre-sale contract."
"How was your afternoon?"
Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to ask about his second sister, but since we can meet face to face, let's leave it to the afternoon. Meeting face to face will be more effective.
"No problem, just tell me a location. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I will ask Secretary Bai to pick you up in person."
"Don't bother me, I'll do it myself..."
"You don't understand." Mayor He interrupted directly, "Recently, the war over food has become intense in various places. Many people have heard that a mysterious buyer has appeared in Huicheng and purchased a large amount of food from overseas. These
If no one can find you, Mr. Zhang, I can only stand guard at the door of the city hall every day."
"Is this still happening?"
"Ahem, actually there is a mix of dragons and snakes here, including representatives from Yandu. We are also under a lot of pressure. I hope Mr. Zhang can understand our difficulties."
"I understand, I will just listen to your arrangements."
"Okay, let's see you in the afternoon."
……
At lunch time, Zhang Chongxin came back from get off work.
The old man's face was glowing red. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed his grandchildren and pricked them gently with their beard stubble.
"Dad, you're back."
Zhang Hao stepped forward and said hello.
"Well, I see you looking so worried. What happened?" Zhang Chongxin frowned.
"It's the second sister's business."
"Have she and Steven set off yet?"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "It has been changed to the 28th. I'm afraid it's too late."
"She is an adult and has the ability to distinguish. You don't need to worry."
Zhang Chongxin waved his hand.
"Dad, I still feel uneasy. I want to fly over and bring my second sister and the others back."
Zhang Hao stated his plan.
When Zhang Chongxin heard this, he immediately became anxious:
"Don't be stupid. You are different from your second sister. You have an elder and a younger one. This family cannot live without you. Don't risk your own life."
Recently, whenever you turn on the TV, most of them are reports about the other side of the ocean.
The other side is almost in chaos.
Passing by at this time is no less than "a moth flying into a flame".
"Dad, I'll fly over tonight and I'll be back as soon as tomorrow. There won't be any delays."
Zhang Chongxin directly advised: "The West Coast is currently in chaos. Even if you go there now, as long as you delay a little on the way, it will almost be the 28th. If something happens to you again, you might even drag your second sister down."<
/p>
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
Zhang Hao immediately hesitated.
"Listen to me, stop fussing, stay at home with peace of mind, nothing will happen to your two sisters."
"But..."
"Stop it." Zhang Chongxin immediately changed the subject and said, "I forgot to tell you. Almost all the cans in the cold storage have been sold. They will probably be cleared tomorrow. What are your plans next?"
"So fast?"
"A big boss came to the store in the morning, and he was very quick to take action. He directly packaged 10,000 tons of goods."
Zhang Hao nodded: "There's no discount, right?"
As for whether to go to the other side of the ocean?
It's better to wait and see the situation in the afternoon. Flying there directly is indeed a bit reckless and can easily lead to self-defeation.
"No, I'm not stupid. It's completely a seller's market now. If you hadn't insisted, I would have raised the price long ago."
Zhang Chongxin shook his head.
"Ahem, it's okay to sell it. Since there is no goods to sell, let's give all employees a month's paid leave. We will discuss the situation later."
"Paid leave? Didn't you buy millions of tons of grain? When will it arrive? How about selling some of it first?"
"The first batch of goods will arrive in Hong Kong in half a month, but it is too late." Zhang Hao immediately explained: "I have already told Mayor He that all this batch of grain will be sold to the city."
"What price?"
Zhang Chongxin quickly asked.
"Don't worry, it will be calculated according to the market price."
"That's not bad. You can earn tens of billions from this one business. It's much more cost-effective than working hard to open a factory."
Zhang Chongming said with sincere emotion.
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly: "Dad, to be honest, I regret it now. I shouldn't involve my second sister in this matter. I would rather not make these tens of billions."
"Hypocritical, when your father was young, he dared to take risks alone and go to Africa to pan for gold for just a few thousand yuan of entrepreneurial capital. There is no reason to make money lying around in this world, so what's wrong with taking risks?"
