Apocalyptic Hero System
Section 134 Food Crisis and Trade War
When Shang Qiuyuan saw Li Yuanhong, he stood up quickly: Brother Li, why are you here?
It's been a long time since I've been here. Let's see how things are going here! Li Yuanhong replied casually. Although Shang Qiuyuan's eyebrows were not as wrinkled as before, his anxious expression still hadn't dissipated.
Shang Qiuyuan quickly moved Li Yuanhong to the sofa and poured some tea. Seeing that Li Yuanhong was in a hurry, Li Yuanhong was a little distracted and almost spilled the tea when he poured it for himself.
Qiu Yuan, did something happen to you?
Oh, ah, it's no big deal! Shangqiu Yuan said a little unintentionally.
No, if it wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't be so worried. Let's talk, there are some things that you can't handle alone. The so-called team means that we have to face difficulties together. Li Yuanhong stared at Shang Qiuyuan and said.
Brother Li, I think we have a trade war! Shangqiu Yuan said.
trade war?
It's like this. Recently, our grain sales have suddenly increased significantly. This has not only caused a sharp decline in our inventory. If we continue to develop like this, in more than ten days, the grain in our hands will be sold out. By then our economic lifeline will be controlled by others. Shangqiu Yuan said with some worry.
Do you know who is buying our grain in large quantities? Li Yuanhong asked.
I asked Liu Hu to check for me, and I didn't find anyone buying our grain in large quantities. That's why I said it was a trade war.
Why do you say that?
If it is normal trade, no one will buy a material in large quantities unless there are special circumstances, unless the price of this material increases. But our food prices have always been stable, and we control food sales, so other Even if our merchants sell grain, they will not be higher than us. However, once our grain is gone, we will lose the pricing power of grain, and the market price of grain will skyrocket. The most important thing is that the other party's purchasing methods are very difficult. Being hidden prevents us from taking corresponding countermeasures, Shangqiu Yuan said.
Li Yuanhong thought for a moment, and then said: Actually, it is easy to check. Our grain sales have increased, so there can only be two situations. One is that more people are buying, and the other is that people who are buying grain are buying more. We can investigate from these two aspects.”
Shangqiu Yuan still shook his head helplessly: We have investigated and found that there are not many new caravans. The increase in the amount of grain they purchased is not large, and the previous caravans did not suddenly increase their purchases. They are all stable.
Otherwise, there is a deviation in your survey. The people I am talking about increasing their purchases are not the caravans, but the daily consumer groups. If each of them increases by one kilogram, then the entire city will be worth 20,000 kilograms. And this increase, It's something you didn't pay attention to, so you asked the statistics department to check which residents have suddenly increased their food purchases recently! Li Yuanhong said.
Oh, why didn't I think of that! I'm going to check it out right away! After saying this, Shangqiu Yuan stood up and walked out.
Wait a minute. After you collect the data, go to the conference room of the council hall. We will discuss the next action plan with Liu Hu later.
Okay! Shangqiu Yuan agreed, then walked out of the office.
Two hours later, Shangqiu Yuan arrived at the council office with a pile of materials. At this time, Li Yuanhong, Wang Jingrong and Liu Hu were sitting in the office waiting for him.
How was the investigation? Li Yuanhong asked directly without waiting for Shangqiu Yuan to sit down.
Well, we found some clues. Sure enough, there are abnormalities in the daily food consumption of more than 2,000 residents. Shangqiu Yuan replied.
So many, how come there are so many people who are cheating and cheating! Liu Hu said in surprise.
Let Qiu Yuan finish, many things may not be what you imagine. Li Yuanhong didn't look angry at all.
Well, I checked. These people are residents living in Community No. 1 and Community No. 5 respectively. Their consumption excess is not much. On average, each person consumes half a catty more grain per day, but these grains are all in They bought it together in the past ten days, so it suddenly appeared. If they spread it over a month, it wouldn't be so obvious! Shang Qiuyuan said.
Well, this means that these people consume 50% more food than normal. No wonder the food consumption has suddenly increased. Qiu Yuan, what do you think of this matter?
I think there must be someone behind this incident, otherwise these people wouldn't suddenly increase their food purchases. Shangqiu Yuan guessed.
What do you think, Jing Rong? You have done criminal investigation.
This should be an economic case, which is my weakness. However, for this kind of collective behavior, they must know each other, otherwise, ordinary people will not participate if they don't know each other, and there must be interests in this kind of dispersed purchase, otherwise It will not sustain their desire to buy. After all, food storage takes up a lot of space. Before the end of the world, I only bought enough food for a few days, and there was no room to store more.
Liu Hu, what do you think? Li Yuanhong asked Liu Hu again. Liu Hu was also a police officer and was good at criminal investigation.
I agree with Jing Rong's point of view. Another thing is that I think this organizer lives in these two communities, so that he can speak out and influence the behavior of others. Liu Hu said.
By the way, Shangqiu Yuan, are there any discounts for our residents when purchasing grain? Li Yuanhong asked Shangqiu Yuandao.
Well, in order to take care of our residents here, we sell grain at par price and market price. Parity price is ten percent lower than market price. Only our working residents enjoy this treatment. Outsiders and mercenaries are Not enjoying it.”
Hearing this, Li Yuanhong had an idea, and then said to Liu Hu: Liu Hu, privately investigate who the people in these two communities sold their grain to. Remember, it must be done privately and not publicly.
Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Liu Hu stood up.
Li Yuanhong hurriedly said: Don't be anxious, it's not over yet. In the near future, I will ask the survivor army of our base to go out to participate in actual combat. You arrange a defense change today, remove the survivors' army and replace them with swordsmen and archers. And , let these soldiers who have been replaced strictly check the people entering and leaving the city to see if anyone entering or leaving the city is carrying more than the normal amount of items. If the items are purchased from us, be sure to check the receipt to prevent private transactions from leaking out. Li Yuanhong ordered.
Okay, does Brother Li have any other instructions? Liu Hu was not in a hurry to go out this time.
No, you go out and do these two things first! Li Yuanhong ordered.
Liu Hu walked out of the conference room with long strides.
Li Yuanhong said to Shang Qiuyuan again: Qiu Yuan, if those people who buy rice come to buy rice, can you add something to their rice, something that has a special smell but is harmless to people eating. Li Yuanhong Speaking of.
Brother Li, what are you doing? Shangqiu Yuan didn't understand Li Yuanhong's intention.
There are only two possibilities for these people to buy grain. One is to transport it away, and the other is to store it on site. If it is transported away, we can check it out when we leave the city. If it is stored on site, how do you think you can find out? Li Yuanhong He looked at Shangqiu Yuan with a smile.
Shangqiu Yuan still didn't understand, and then turned to look at Wang Jingrong. Wang Jingrong thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: Brother Li, do you want to use those little puppies?
The little puppies are almost as tall as a person. I don't dare to hold them anymore. It just so happens that they have been fed all day and are fine, so it's time for them to do something. Li Yuanhong said.
Shang Qiuyuan looked at Li Yuanhong and Wang Jingrong with confusion on his face: What are you two talking about?
Ignore it, have you thought about what to put in the rice? Li Yuanhong asked.
After thinking about it, I got a pack of expired curry powder some time ago, which can be sprinkled on the rice. It has a strong smell, but it will not harm people. It will be washed off when washing the rice, so it will not affect the taste and texture. Shangqiu Yuan analyzed it methodically.
Well, not bad, by the way, remember to leave some samples for Wang Jingrong, he will be useful.
no problem.
At this time Wang Jingrong interrupted: Brother Li, which little puppy do you plan to let come to work?
Li Yuanhong thought for a moment: Let Shanying come over. This guy has been familiar with you before, and you can command it. The other two are so spoiled that they don't easily listen to other people's orders.
Okay, how about you keep it here from now on! Wang Jingrong said expectantly.
Let's talk about it then, I will definitely equip you with a police dog unit in the future! Li Yuanhong promised a blank check.
When Wang Jingrong heard this, he immediately smiled and thanked Li Yuanhong repeatedly.
