The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space

Xia Meng was about to leave after she finished speaking, but how could the people in the conference room let Xia Meng move away!

"Governor Xia! Governor Xia, please don't leave!"

"Governor Xia, let's talk again, let's talk again!"

"Yes, Governor Xia, you can't leave!"

Everyone stood up hurriedly and blocked Xia Meng's way, fearing that Xia Meng would leave.

Xia Meng looked at everyone.

"Why? What do you want to do?"

"You want to control my personal freedom?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately shook their heads like rattles and hurriedly explained,

"No, no, Governor Xia, please don't misunderstand me."

"Governor Xia, your words are too serious. How dare we say that?"

"Yes, Governor Xia, we dare not!"

"Governor Xia, we just want to have a good chat with you!"

Xia Meng crossed her arms and spoke in a cold tone. She glanced at everyone with a cold and arrogant look that kept strangers away.

"Talk? Fine! Let's talk again!"

Everyone's expression relaxed. Xia Meng slowly turned around and sat back in her seat. Then she looked at everyone.

"Go ahead."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one wanted to be the first to stand out, for fear that Xia Meng would hold a grudge against them.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Pan Xiong.

After all, this was Pan Xiong's territory. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Pan Xiong cursed all of these people's ancestors in his heart, then he walked forward as if nothing had happened and talked to Xia Meng with a smile.

"Governor Xia, please don't be anxious. We don't mean that."

"We can all understand the problem you just mentioned, but... we are doing business after all..."

"If we lose, how can we continue in the future?"

"Governor Xia, I hope you can understand our difficulties."

"Yes, Governor Xia, it's not easy for us either!"

"In this world..., we must first ensure that we can survive!"

These people began to play the victim.

"Governor Xia, we still have so many workers under us. If there is not enough profit, our workers will have nothing to do but starve."

Each one speaks more miserably than the other, they just don’t want to lose their own interests.

They keep saying that they are doing this for the workers, but they are all talking nonsense.

When they were making money on weekdays, I didn’t see them being very nice to their workers. Now that they are in trouble, have they thought about their workers?

Xia Meng, "How about this... I'll hold a meeting after I get back and increase the purchase price of farm products that you haven't signed an agreement for by another 30%."

When everyone heard Xia Meng say that the purchase price would be increased by 30%, they looked at each other, with a hint of deep disappointment in their eyes.

Only thirty percent?

This... is too little!

As long as the grain is shipped out, they can earn several times or even dozens of times the profit. However, Xia Meng, this stingy woman, took their grain but only increased the purchase price for them by 30%. She is so... stingy!

Everyone looked at Pan Xiong again, hoping that Pan Xiong would speak for them.

However, Pan Xiong ignored the gazes of these people. He had already gone too far just now, so that was enough.

Although Governor Xia is an open-minded person, he should know his limits!

There was no choice but to ask a man in his sixties with gray hair to stand up.

"Governor Xia, this... is only a 30% increase. Isn't it... too little?"

"Yup!"

“It’s really too little!”

“This price is not good!”

"Absolutely not!"

Everyone shook their heads, saying that this price was not acceptable!

Seeing this, Xia Meng could only sigh, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about."

Seeing Xia Meng was about to leave again, everyone immediately stopped her.

"Governor Xia, this price is indeed not high. Please raise it a little bit!"

"Yes, Governor Xia, we need to eat too."

“Without sufficient funds, how can we further expand our farm?”

Xia Meng: "This is your business."

Seeing that Xia Meng refused to buy it and wanted to continue walking out, these people panicked and immediately shouted,

"Three times! As long as you triple the price, we will sell them all to you!"

"Correct!"

"Governor Xia, the price is only tripled, it's not expensive!"

"Yes, Governor Xia, you don't know that someone has already offered me eight times the price to sell the grain to them."

"Governor Xia, three times is really the lowest price we can offer."

Of course Xia Meng was unwilling and still refused to give in.

"The original price was not low to begin with, and if we increase it by 30%, I think this price is acceptable. Of course..." Xia Meng looked at everyone,

“You can choose not to accept it.”

If these people choose not to accept it, then there is no point in talking about it.

"No, no, Governor Xia, double! How about double?"

Three times is already everyone's bottom line, they don't want to lower it, but seeing that Xia Meng's attitude is really firm, if they don't agree, based on their understanding of Xia Meng, she can do what she says, and then they will definitely suffer greater losses.

When they heard someone offer to double the price, although everyone kept silent, they did not object either, but their faces looked very unhappy.

But even if it was twice as much, Xia Meng didn't want to agree.

Twice may not sound like a lot, but with that much grain purchased at a price beyond expectations, the money spent would be an astronomical figure.

Life is already difficult for ordinary people, and the government does not have much resources and money in reserve, so every penny must be spent wisely.

This group of profit-seeking people will become really insatiable if we don't give them a good beating.

Xia Meng just snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

This time, everyone looked at each other and no one said anything to stop it.

Of course, there were also people who looked at Xia Meng hesitantly, wanting to agree, but seeing that so many people were refusing to agree, and not wanting to be the first to speak out and be hated by others, they could only shut up.

After Xia Meng disappeared, these people couldn't help but start cursing:

"what!"

"That's right! Isn't she just a governor? Look how proud she is! What a joke!"

"A woman who doesn't go home to give birth to a child and keeps telling us what to do, does she deserve it?"

"I'm so angry. Twice the price is already a huge discount, and she's still not satisfied?"

"If you don't want to protect me, then don't protect me. Who cares? There are so many of us. We can hire someone to protect us. We don't need her!"

"Yes, there are so many of us, we can just pool some money and hire bodyguards, there won't be any problems."

Everyone nodded, indicating that the plan was feasible. Although some individuals were a little worried, since so many people agreed, there was no point in their objection.

After Xia Meng left, Zhang Xiangqian immediately drove to Xia Meng's side, and Ruan Feng helped Xia Meng open the car door.

Just as Xia Meng was about to get into the car, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Governor Xia? Governor Xia?"

Xia Meng turned around and saw Pan Xiong running towards her in a hurry.

Xia Meng stood still and looked at Pan Xiong. She waited until Pan Xiong ran to her and stood still before she spoke.

"Mr. Pan, is there anything else?"

Pan Xiong ran too fast and was still a little out of breath when he stopped. When he heard Xia Meng's question, he immediately said,

"Oh, that's it, Governor Xia, you...are you really not going to consider it again?"

"I'll tell you the truth, twice the price is really not high!"

Xia Meng nodded and admitted very straightforwardly, "I know, this price is not only not high, but it is already very low at present."

Pan Xiong looked at Xia Meng in surprise, "Since you know, why don't you agree?"

Xia Meng sighed softly, "Doubling the price doesn't sound like much, but the authorities are really powerless."

"There have been so many natural disasters over the years, and the government has to provide disaster relief every year. Where can we get so much money?"

"More and more people are pouring into Tangzhou. In order to buy more food and help more people, I cannot accept double the price."

After hearing what Xia Meng said, Pan Xiong opened his mouth and finally closed it.

What could he say?

From Xia Meng's point of view, Xia Meng was right.

Since Xia Meng is an official, the survival of the people should be her top priority.

It is her responsibility and obligation to ensure that the people have enough to eat and eat well.

Businessmen like Pan Xiong only need to consider their own interests.

It's not wrong to consider the issue from a businessman's perspective.

But Xia Meng doesn't allow it!

Don't allow them to make this fortune!

There is no way. Compared with these people’s wealth, the lives of ordinary people are more precious!

After Xia Meng finished speaking, she nodded to Pan Xiong and was about to leave in the car. Pan Xiong was unwilling to stop Xia Meng.

"Governor Xia, is there really no room for negotiation?"

Xia Meng looked at Pan Xiong with a firm gaze, without a trace of wavering.

"no!"

Pan Xiong, "Governor Xia, 30% is too little, really!"

Xia Meng, "Who knows!"

What does this mean?

Pan Xiong looked at Xia Meng in confusion, but Xia Meng had no intention of explaining for Pan Xiong and just got in the car and left.

Pan Xiong did not call Xia Meng again. A price increase of only 30% was still unacceptable to Pan Xiong. It was too far from the price in his mind.

After getting in the car, Xia Meng said to Ruan Feng, "Reduce the supply of new seeds to those people!"

Because of the rampant natural disasters, in order to ensure that the people in the country can have enough to eat, scientists have racked their brains to study new types of food crops. They not only study new types of food seeds, but also various scientific planting methods.

Now the per-acre yield of wheat and corn has exceeded 2,000 kilograms. When grown in glass greenhouses, three crops can be produced a year.

Of course, this also places high demands on the fertility of the soil, and scientists have studied several types of fertilizers for this purpose.

Now both fertilizers and new seeds are regulated. If Xia Meng cuts off their supply, where can they find high-yield seeds and fertilizers to keep the soil fertile?

The government provides seeds and fertilizers to these merchants almost free of charge, so that when the grain is harvested, the price is low, leaving room for the merchants to make money. If the purchase price is low, the price sold to the people will naturally be low as well. This is the only way to maintain the stability of grain prices to the greatest extent.

If we allow these merchants to raise prices, they will dare to raise the price of grain tenfold, twentyfold, fiftyfold within a day...

As for the lives of ordinary people, they don't care.

When Ruan Feng heard what Xia Meng said,

"okay, I get it!"

Ruan Feng thought for a moment and asked again, "What if they want to buy it?"

Xia Meng's expression was slightly indifferent, "Not for sale!"

Ruan Feng, "Yes!"

The next day, Xia Meng got the news. Pan Xiong and his colleagues worked out a plan that night. On the one hand, they contacted merchants outside Tangzhou and sold grain to them at a price twenty times higher than before, and then they formed a security team.
