Having to pay a lot of medical expenses, Su Yuying was so depressed that she couldn't sleep well all night.
I woke up before five o'clock in the morning.
She was afraid of waking up her husband and causing him to scold her, so she got up quietly, went to the living room, opened the curtains, and tried to open the window to let some air in.
Her heart was blocked as if a big stone was pressing down on her and she couldn't breathe.
As soon as the curtains were opened, but before the window was opened, she used the light in the living room to see the heavy snow in the sky outside.
She grew up in Beijing, and she only encountered such heavy snow when she was in elementary school.
The trains were all suspended at that time. I don’t know if the trains will be suspended this time.
She thought for a moment and dialed the train station phone number.
The staff told her that the train stopped running at midnight.
Su Yuying was surprised and happy.
The train stopped running, which meant that the Lin Mai family's agricultural products could not be transported into the capital.
However, the channels through which she obtains goods are different from Linmai's. All kinds of meat, grains and oils are obtained illegally from the Meat Federation and China Grain Reserves.
Other non-staple food items were obtained from state-owned food factories under the banner of her father.
Vegetables, eggs and other fresh food are purchased by salesmen in the suburbs of Beijing.
Therefore, the train suspension had no impact on Su Yuying at all.
She called Manager Qian and Manager Ma again and asked them to send salesmen to purchase agricultural products in the suburbs of the capital.
Ask the salesperson to tell the farmers that they are sent by the government to purchase agricultural products.
There are regulations above that all agricultural products in the suburbs of the capital can only be purchased by them, and the prices are also determined by them.
Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be held accountable by the relevant departments after the snow disaster is over. Those who should be arrested will be arrested and those who should be imprisoned.
Manager Qian and Manager Ma were both beating snare drums in their hearts. Isn’t it illegal to do this?
They expressed their worries.
But Su Yuying didn't care, saying that her father would hold up the sky if it fell, so she just asked them to do so.
The two managers had no choice but to follow her instructions.
The salesmen sent out, in the name of the government, quickly bought back a lot of agricultural products at low prices.
The prices for purchasing greenhouse vegetables from farmers in Hulu Town were still very low, which made farmers in more than a dozen villages almost furious.
They thought Huimin Market would raise their prices due to such heavy snow, but they didn't expect Huimin Market to be so dark and not raise a penny.
At around eight o'clock, Su Yuying went out despite the strong wind and snow.
She was fully armed first, with only one pair of eyes exposed outside, and sneaked to the Fuduoduo Market.
Seeing that Fuduoduo Market had no fresh food for sale today, she was secretly happy and hurried to her own Huimin Market in Xidanmen.
She was very dissatisfied when she saw that the prices of all products only increased slightly.
Ask Manager Qian to immediately double the price of fresh produce and milk powder.
Grain and oil prices increased by 50%.
Prices of other commodities increased by 20 percent.
She is particular about how she arranges the increase in commodity prices.
Those with a larger increase must be bought, while those with a smaller increase are optional or not.
Manager Qian was stunned when he heard this, and said for a long time: "If we have such a huge increase, will there be any customers to buy it?"
Su Yuying rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "Fuduoduo is out of stock. If those customers don't buy from us, where else can they buy?
If we don’t take advantage of this snowstorm to make some extra money, it will be impossible for us to have this kind of opportunity in the future.”
She planned to use this snowstorm to earn back all the medical expenses she had to pay, and preferably earn a little more.
Manager Qian smacked his lips, not daring to disobey, and arranged for employees to set prices according to Su Yuying's instructions.
At Fuduoduo Food Market, many customers looked at the empty fresh food area and asked the employees in the market: "Why are there no vegetables, pork or anything for sale today?"
The employee explained that all the agricultural products shipped from long distances were stuck at the Shijiazhuang stop.
Mr. Lin and Manager Tang are organizing manpower and vehicles to transport goods to Shijiazhuang.
The salesmen sent by their market to the suburbs of Beijing are also working hard to purchase, and they should be able to purchase a batch of agricultural products by noon.
The employees invite customers to come back after lunch, and then there will be vegetables, fish, meat, eggs and other fresh food.
Those customers left disappointed.
As soon as they walked out of Fuduoduo's gate, they saw several billing clerks from Huimin Market handing out advertising flyers to everyone they saw.
He also yelled loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Huimin Market sells everything. If you want to buy anything, go to Huimin Market and buy it."
The snow won’t stop for ten days and a half. If you don’t buy it now, maybe the Huimin market will be out of stock tomorrow.”
The people who got the flyers were furious when they saw the prices of the products on them: "You sell Chinese cabbage for 50 cents per catty, why don't you grab it?"
"Also, these ribs cost five yuan a pound. They are not fresh, they are frozen from the meat joint.
It’s so expensive, we can’t afford it!”
The salesmen said disdainfully: "Whether you want to buy it or not, there is no store in this village and it's too expensive! I'm afraid that in two days, I won't even be able to buy it with money!"
Their words caused a lot of panic among the people.
Everyone was talking about it. The snow was so heavy and we didn’t know when it would stop.
If it really happens in the next ten days and a half, the family will have to run out of food.
What ordinary people fear most is hunger.
Everyone put it together and took advantage of the fact that there are grains and oils for sale in Fuduoduo now, and they are still cheap, so it is better to buy some back.
No matter how long it continues to snow, I will not panic if I have food at home.
Those customers who had just walked out of Fuduoduo Market turned around and swarmed in again.
Not only were the order clerks at Huimin Market stunned, but Su Yuying, who was hiding in the dark, was also dumbfounded.
She thought that since the Fuduoduo market did not sell fresh food, customers would go to her market to buy groceries.
Unexpectedly, customers stopped buying vegetables and started panic buying grain and oil.
Su Yuying walked away angrily.
She secretly made up her mind that when the food and oil in Fuduoduo Market were sold out, those unscrupulous customers would go to her market to buy.
When the time comes, she will raise the prices of grain and oil to let them know how powerful she is.
Because there are no fish, meat, vegetables and other fresh food for sale, and there are not many customers, the employees at Fuduoduo Market are very idle.
Everyone was standing together in twos and threes, chatting about the weather, when suddenly they saw people pouring in like a tide.
Just when everyone was confused, the crowd rushed towards the grain and oil area.
As if rice, flour, oil and various cereals were free of charge, everyone rushed to buy them.
You have two bags and I have three bags. Each bag is fifty pounds.
The employees responsible for selling grain and oil were suddenly as busy as octopuses.
The employees selling fresh food had nothing to do and immediately ran to support them.
Some employees reported the situation to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi came out to take a look and realized that the people were afraid of road closures and food shortages, and were panicking, so they desperately stocked up on food and oil.
He made a quick decision and used a loudspeaker to shout, stipulating that each person was limited to one bag of rice and flour, which was fifty pounds.
Regardless of sesame oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil, the purchase limit is three kilograms per person.
The purchase limit of noodles is ten kilograms per person, and the purchase limit of various miscellaneous grains is thirty kilograms per person.
If there is no purchase limit, the grain and oil in the market and in stock will be sold out in less than two hours, and the customers behind will be unable to buy anything.
Although Fuduoduo has temporarily introduced a policy to limit the purchase of grains and oils, customers understand their intentions and everyone is very cooperative.
The panic buying of grains and oils was finally solved, but after noon, the panic buying of milk powder started again.
Most of the people rushing to buy milk powder are families who feed their babies with milk powder.
These families are afraid that due to heavy snow and road closures, they will not be able to buy milk powder and their babies will starve, so they buy several bags at a time.
Before the Fuduoduo Market put up a sign restricting the purchase of milk powder, the milk powder was sold out.
When Tang Yi once again used a loudspeaker to limit the purchase of milk powder, no customer returned the extra milk powder.
They can accept purchase restrictions on food, and it doesn't matter if adults are hungry.
But they cannot accept the fact that the baby is hungry.
The customer didn't want to return the extra milk powder he bought, so Tang Yi had no choice.
You can't take it away from customers.
He had no choice but to call Lin Mai quickly and tell her that grain and oil were about to be out of stock, and milk powder was out of stock.
Lin Mai still knew how much grain, oil and milk powder there was in the market.
There is obviously enough to sell for two or three days, why is it suddenly out of stock?
When Tang Yi told Lin Mai the whole story, Lin Mai didn't even bother to eat lunch.
Tang Yi was instructed to contact several state-owned milk powder factories in Beijing to purchase their milk powder stocks.
Although several state-owned milk powder factories are on holiday for the Chinese New Year, they still have some inventory to ensure supply during the Chinese New Year.
In this era, in addition to the national reserve materials that are not allowed to be sold without authorization, non-reserve materials such as milk powder and snacks can be sold to the outside world.
Don't overdo the planned price and market price.
Supplying to state-owned shopping malls or small stores is a planned price.
If self-employed people like Fu Duoduo buy it, it is the market price.
Tang Yi immediately hung up the phone and went to the state-owned milk powder factory in person to purchase milk powder.
Lin Mai immediately dialed Zhao Liang's phone number.
Ask him to quickly send ten tons of grain and half a ton of cooking oil, mainly rapeseed oil, to the capital. The capital is in urgent need of grain and oil.
