Chapter 649: God-given Opportunity (2) Yao Yi covered his big mouth and went back to his bedroom. Li Hongtai stamped his feet and left in anger. When he left, he also took Yao Yi's
Together with my grandfather, I took him to China’s permanent office in Geneva, where he could communicate with the country in a timely manner and discuss some matters secretly in a timely manner.
That night, James rushed to Yao Yi. As soon as he saw Yao Yi, he asked: "Duke Yao, what happened?"
Yao Yi asked: "How is the oil storage going?"
James said: "Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to our plan, and production is increasing day by day. I believe that it will not be long before we can achieve the storage goal of 30 billion barrels."
Yao Yi said: "Work harder and faster. In addition, you have to do one more thing."
James said: "What happened?"
Yao Yi said: "This is an opportunity to make a fortune. A God-given opportunity, we are guaranteed to make a lot of money. You are now using all cargo ships to buy a large amount of wheat, soybeans, corn and cotton from the United States, and store all these goods in Ma Ling
, and within ten days the quantity reached 20 million tons of each type.”
James asked in confusion: "Why do you do this? This year is a bumper harvest year for the whole world. There is no need to do these things. The world's demand for food has not increased much, and I don't see any business opportunities."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "You don't see any business opportunities? Haha, I can only say that you are too indifferent to the changes in the world. Do you know that demonstrations are breaking out in the Soviet Union?"
James said: "This is no longer news, and it has happened for more than a year. So far, I have not seen any business opportunities."
Yao Yi said with a smile: "If you don't see business opportunities, it's because you don't understand the situation. Demonstrations in the Soviet Union have seriously affected their already fragile agriculture. At that time, if it weren't for my trading company's continuous flow of money from
China shipped a large amount of agricultural products, and the Soviet Union's contradictory plans became even more severe."
James understood at this time and said: "It turns out that the Soviets have persisted for such a long time and it was you who continued to support them behind the scenes. Didn't they make extremely huge profits?"
Yao Yi smiled and said: "You are only half right. I have made a lot of money. However, if we did not do this, there would be other people doing this business. The Soviets themselves know very well what they need, so
"Don't take us businessmen too seriously. We are just doing business and have little impact on the political situation."
In fact, Yao Yi understands in his heart, but the reason why he belittles himself in this way is that there are some things that are difficult to say to James. After all, James is British, and the relationship between the British government and the Chinese government is not very good. Yao Yi does not want James to know something.
and did things that were detrimental to China. Therefore, to a certain extent, some facts were deliberately concealed.
James thought for a while and said: "I heard that China is experiencing price inflation. Does it have anything to do with you? You transported a large amount of agricultural products from China to the Soviet Union and made huge profits, but China's domestic agricultural products are not enough.
This has caused price increases.”
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Don't blame me randomly. I said that we are just businessmen. Wherever there is profit, we will be there. Do as I say and I will ensure that you make a fortune this time."
James thought for a while and said: "We have invested such a huge amount of food this time. Once it is shipped to China, the prices will drop accordingly. By then, our profits will not be guaranteed."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "If you do as I say, there will be no problem. Don't worry, you will definitely make double the profit."
James said in surprise: "What? The profit from food can be doubled? This is unheard of. But, according to what you said, we are transporting food in such large quantities. What will the US government do if it finds out?"
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Why did I ask you to take ten days to finish this matter? So we must seize the time and seize the business opportunity. This business opportunity is fleeting. You know this better than me."
After James heard this, he said: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away."
Yao Yi said: "We must complete the task. This matter is a big deal now."
James said: "Don't worry, we have our own logistics company and our own fleet. It's not easy to complete such a thing. We'll see, it won't take ten days. It can definitely be done."
Yao Yi believed deeply in James' words and knew James' abilities. After getting James' promise, Yao Yi returned to the bedroom and had a good sleep.
Apart from sleeping, Yao Yi paid close attention to the situation in China and stayed in hiding for three days in a row.
In the past three days, the domestic situation in China has intensified. Chaos broke out all over the country. Some bankrupt state-owned factories and unemployed people in the society took the opportunity to cause trouble. The whole situation was even more chaotic than the Soviet Union.
Naturally, all armies have reached level one combat readiness, and the United States and the Soviet Union are also paying close attention to the demonstrations in China.
What turned out to be peaceful demonstrations turned into vandalism, smashing and looting, and many shops closed down. Yao Yi's shops in China closed down early, and all employees except those on duty stayed at home.
Incidents of smashing bottles, smashing cars, and burning shops on the streets are not uncommon in Yanjing City.
For a period of time, the soaring prices have continuously released the anger in the hearts of the people. Moreover, Chinese society is a society that is not worried about scarcity but inequality. It is okay for everyone to be poor. However, if some people become rich through special means,
If other people are still poor, the society will naturally collapse.
Within three days, Li Hongtai originally planned to return to China early, but in the end, under Chairman Wei's arrangement, he could only stay in Switzerland.
In this regard, Chairman Wei has made a very accurate calculation. If Li Hongtai is in China at this time and something happens in Yanjing City, Li Hongtai will definitely be held accountable. However, if Li Hongtai is abroad, this matter will be fine.
Shirking responsibility and finding a scapegoat to take the blame.
On the other hand, Chairman Wei also sees clearly. He knows that the root cause of the matter lies in the problems that occurred during the reform. In the final analysis, it is an economic problem. If Yao Yi can be helped, then Li Hongtai will return
In China, it is not people who are at fault, but people who have made meritorious deeds. The outcomes of meritorious deeds and faults are very different.
However, at the critical moment, Yao Yi hid from people, so Li Hongtai simply stayed with Yao Yi. As long as he saw Yao Yi, he would never let Yao Yi go. In addition, after
After Grandpa Yao Yi's discussion, the strategy on how to deal with this has basically been decided. They are just waiting for Yao Yi to appear and hold Yao Yi down to solve the problem.
Yao Yi held it in for three days and felt it was almost done, so she came out.
