Chapter 313: Keep the Food
In the vast and fertile black soil of Northeast China, He Yuzhu, with his extraordinary wisdom and unremitting efforts, transformed this land into the well-deserved "China's granary".
Under his careful management, the output of crops such as corn, rice, sorghum and wheat has achieved a leap-forward growth, five times higher than before, and some varieties have even increased by as much as ten times. The scene of the bumper harvest is shocking.
The golden wheat waves surge in the breeze, the heavy rice ears bend with smiles, the plump corn cobs sparkle with an alluring luster in the sun, and the entire Northeast is filled with the joy of harvest.
At this time, a guest came to He Yuzhu from across the ocean. He was Richard, a businessman from abroad.
Richard was tall and strong, wearing a well-tailored suit and shiny leather shoes, and his every move revealed the style of a wealthy man.
When he saw He Yuzhu, he got straight to the point without any greetings, his eyes flashing with eagerness and greed: "Mr. He, I have heard of your name for a long time! I came here this time just for your mountain of food.
I asked for a huge amount, 7 trillion tons of food, I will eat it all! As for the price, you don't have to worry at all, I will give you three times higher than the market price...
No, if you are willing, I will give you five times the price! This is a big deal that will make you a lot of money!"
When He Yuzhu heard this, his heart was shocked, but his face remained expressionless.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked carefully at the seemingly generous foreign businessman in front of him.
Having been in the business world for many years, he keenly realized that there seemed to be an unknown secret behind this matter.
Seven trillion tons of grain is not a small number. What is the purpose of purchasing it so eagerly and at such a high price?
He Yuzhu chuckled and said slowly, "Mr. Richard, you are really generous. Such a large order would be exciting to anyone.
However, when doing business, there must always be a reason.
You need so much food all at once. I am really curious, what are you going to do with it?"
A hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across Richard's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He laughed dryly and said, "Oh, Mr. He, as you know, our country has recently suffered from severe natural disasters, food production has dropped sharply, and the people are facing the threat of starvation.
I am trying to save countless lives, so I am eager to purchase a large amount of food to bring back for disaster relief."
He Yuzhu thought to himself that Richard's answer seemed reasonable, but he always felt something was wrong.
He continued calmly, “Mr. Richard, your concern for the people is truly admirable.
However, food is an important material that affects the national economy and people's livelihood, so I cannot make a decision lightly.
Please give me some time to think about it."
Richard was a little anxious when he saw that He Yuzhu did not agree immediately, but he couldn't show it too obviously, so he had to say: "Mr. He, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible.
Time is running out, and those people who are struggling with hunger are waiting for this batch of food to save their lives."
After seeing Richard off, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought.
He was well aware of the importance of food to a country and that he would never do anything that would harm the interests of the country and the people for the sake of temporary gain.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, he immediately arranged for people to conduct an in-depth investigation into Richard's background and the situation of his country.
After several days of investigation, the truth gradually surfaced.
It turned out that the country to which Richard belonged was not suffering from any serious natural disasters, but was planning a food war against other countries.
They attempt to achieve their ulterior political goals by hoarding large amounts of food and controlling prices in the global food market.
He Yuzhu was furious when he heard the news: "These people are so despicable that they actually used food as a weapon to seek personal gain and endanger the security and stability of other countries.
I absolutely cannot let their conspiracy succeed!"
At this time, Director Wang, the head of the national grain department, came to the Northeast to investigate the grain production situation.
After He Yuzhu learned the news, he went to visit immediately.
He Yuzhu told Director Wang everything about Richard. After listening, Director Wang's face became very solemn: "Yuzhu, you did the right thing.
This matter is indeed very serious. If these grains fall into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous.
We have to find a way to ensure food security for the country.”
He Yuzhu said firmly: "Director Wang, I have decided that I will sell these grains to the state at a price 10% lower than the market price.
I cannot allow those with bad intentions to use food to threaten our country and our people.”
After hearing this, Director Wang's eyes were full of admiration: "Yuzhu, you have this awareness, which is really precious!
However, if you sell below market price, you will lose a lot of profit.”
He Yuzhu smiled and said, “Director Wang, profits are important, but in the face of national interests, these are nothing.
My achievements today would not be possible without the support of the country and the people.
The country needs me now, and I must step forward.
Moreover, only when these grains are kept in the country can their value be truly realized, ensuring our country’s food security and allowing the people to eat well and feel at ease.”
Director Wang held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Yuzhu, on behalf of the country and the people, I thank you! Your patriotism and responsibility are worthy of learning for every one of us."
A few days later, Richard came to He Yuzhu's office again, and asked expectantly, "Mr. He, how are you thinking about it?
I come here with sincerity, and as long as you agree, we can sign the contract right away."
He Yuzhu looked at him coldly and said, “Mr. Richard, I’m sorry, I can’t do this business with you.
I have decided to sell this grain to the state."
When Richard heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Mr. He, you have to think it over carefully! The price I give you is several times higher than the national price. You will lose a lot of money if you do this."
He Yuzhu said righteously: "Mr. Richard, I know the price you offer is very tempting, but there are some things that money can't buy.
Food is the foundation of our country. I cannot ignore the country’s food security for my own personal gain.
I believe you understand this.”
Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, Richard knew that no amount of persuasion would help, so he had to leave in shame.
Not long after, He Yuzhu successfully signed a grain purchase contract with the national grain department.
At the grain handover ceremony, He Yuzhu watched the trucks loaded with grain slowly driving away into the distance, his heart filled with pride.
He knew that he had made the right decision, which protected the country's food security and the happy lives of countless people.
He Yuzhu's deeds soon spread across the country, and people expressed their admiration for his patriotism and noble character.
He demonstrated the responsibility and commitment of an entrepreneur through his actions and became a hero in everyone's eyes.
However, He Yuzhu did not become proud and complacent because of this. He still stayed at his post and continued to contribute his strength to the country's grain cause.
He knows that food security is an eternal issue for the country. Only by continuous efforts can this land always be filled with the hope of a good harvest, so that everyone can eat well and live a happy and fulfilling life...
However, a conspiracy against him is growing wildly in the dark...
