Zhao Liang was very embarrassed after hearing this: "In a hurry, I couldn't get out ten tons of grain, and I could barely get out half a ton of cooking oil."
"Then how much food can you put out now?"
"Three tons of flour and rice in total." Zhao Liang said, "This is all the inventory I have."
Lin Mai thought for a moment and said, "Then send all three tons of grain over here first, and then quickly send people to the countryside to buy grain and oil."
Zhao Liang hummed, hung up the phone, and followed Lin Mai's instructions.
Lin Mai then went to the dining room to have lunch.
Grandpa Fang and the others were sitting at the dinner table, waiting for her.
Lin Mai said angrily: "Grandpa and grandma, I have told you many times to let you eat first. In the winter, the food gets cold quickly, so you have to wait for me~"
Grandpa Fang said with a cheerful smile: "To eat hot pot, the whole family must eat it together to make it delicious."
One of the old couple picked up the hot pot and the other added charcoal to the stove. The fire in the stove suddenly became louder.
Let's eat hot pot together.
After finishing the hot pot meal, Lin Mai put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the phone in the living room rang again.
The call was still from Tang Yi.
He told Lin Mai on the phone that all state-owned dairy factories in Beijing were controlled and would not sell milk powder to him.
Lin Mai was determined to win: "Raise the price and see if they sell it."
Now in the era of reform and opening up, state-owned units are also beginning to focus on economic efficiency.
Lin Mai didn't believe that state-owned dairy factories could resist the temptation of high prices, unless their leaders didn't care whether their financial statements looked good or not.
Tang Yi said frustratedly: "I've tried it, but they won't sell it even if I increase the price."
This is obviously aimed at Fuduoduo.
Unless Lin Mai is a fool, he still can't react until now. Su Yuying is behind everything.
It can be seen that the person who falsely spread the imperial edict in the suburbs of the capital and prevented local farmers from selling agricultural products to her salesmen was probably Su Yuying.
Su Yuying is too courageous. She actually dares to use the name of the government to restrict others from purchasing agricultural products and dairy products. Does she think her father can cover the sky with one hand?
Lin Mai said: "I will solve this problem."
Su Yuying thought that since she controlled all the dairy factories in the capital, there was nothing she could do?
Lin Mai called Tana's mother and asked her to get as much milk powder from Su as she could, as well as some meat products from Su.
I also want beef and mutton.
Tana's mother said: "It won't be a problem if I want more Su milk powder and meat products.
The problem is, we have a blizzard here and the trains are suspended. It will take three days to return to normal, and it will take three days for me to deliver the goods."
Lin Mai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
If Tana's mother couldn't deliver the goods in time, she would have to call Zhao Liang and ask him to ship all the milk powder in Jiangcheng's inventory.
Worried that the milk powder was not enough, Lin Mai asked Zhao Liang to contact Yangzijiang Dairy, buy all their inventory, and quickly transport it to the capital.
Zhao Liang told Lin Mai by the way that just now, he had sent three tons of grain and half a ton of rapeseed oil to Shijiazhuang on an express freight train.
Arrive at Shijiazhuang at ten o'clock tonight at the latest and let them be ready to receive the goods.
Lin Mai asked him to tell Tang Yi the news and he would arrange to receive the goods.
Although the purchase of grains, oils and milk powder at Fuduoduo Market was restricted, they were all sold out before 2 p.m.
The people were too panicked and too many people bought.
Some customers who did not buy anything and whose economic conditions were not good refused to leave for a long time.
It wasn't until Tang Yi assured them that there would be grain and oil supplies at noon tomorrow that the customers gradually dispersed.
Those customers with good economic conditions saw that Fuduoduo had no grain and oil for sale, so they went to Huimin Market long ago.
Today, in the huge capital city, only Huimin Market sells fresh food, and the market is overcrowded with customers buying fresh food.
It's not even noon yet, and all the fresh food is almost sold out.
Su Yuying saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart.
Let partner Ji Jianjun take his salesmen to the suburbs of Beijing to continue purchasing agricultural products.
In fact, just ask the salesperson to go directly to the suburbs of Beijing to purchase agricultural products.
There is a reason why Su Yuying did not let Ji Jianjun lead the team.
Why was it that Ji Jianjun was enjoying the fruits of her hard work and hard work for the two Huimin markets?
Although Ji Jianjun's father worked hard to win these two markets, this is not the reason for him to sit back and enjoy the success.
Ji Jianjun received Su Yuying's call. Although he was very unhappy, he could only obey.
To be fair, Su Yuying put in too much effort at the two markets. He had to do something, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.
Ji Jianjun's wife saw that he was going out and asked where he was going.
Ji Jianjun told Su Yuying that she had assigned him to purchase agricultural products in the suburbs of Beijing.
Ji's wife was very displeased: "You two are partners and we are all equals. Why does Su Yuying order you to do this or that?"
Ji Jianjun explained: "Because the two of us are partners, Yuying can't just worry about the two markets. I also have to contribute." After that, he went out.
Ji's wife chased after her and said, "Yuying Yuying, please call me so affectionate. I think you just like to work hard for your little green plum."
Ji Jianjun said "unreasonable" and walked away.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Yi called again and told Lin Mai that several salesmen sent to purchase agricultural products in the outer suburbs had returned with agricultural products.
I bought three pigs and are arranging for them to be slaughtered.
There is a lot of Chinese cabbage, red and white radish, green onions, Chinese cabbage, and cabbage.
In northern rural areas, there are not many winter vegetables that can be grown in winter, and there are only these few vegetables.
Unlike rural areas in the south, many kinds of vegetables can be grown in winter.
There were also chickens, ducks, and eggs that the salesmen also bought some.
Although a lot of agricultural products were purchased, the prices were not cheap and had increased by 50% compared with usual prices.
After Tang Yi reported the situation, he said: "The prices of all agricultural products have increased, and our fresh food prices must be adjusted accordingly and sold at cost prices.
Now the cost price is equal to the purchase price plus the cost of gas and the salesperson’s wages, do you think that’s okay?”
Lin Mai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's sell it at the purchase price."
Tang Yi was silent for a moment and said: "If we sell it at the purchase price, we have to pay for the gas and the driver's wages.
I know Mr. Lin wants to share the difficulties with the people of Beijing.
As long as we don't make money from them, we have a heart-to-heart relationship with them and there is no need to lose money.
Besides, the sales of grain, oil, fresh food and milk powder at Huimin Market have doubled. We sell them at cost price, and the people of Beijing will see our determination to share weal and woe with them."
Lin Mai was shocked. At the critical moment, Su Yuying drove up prices. Was she seeking death?
She pondered for a moment and said, "Then it's up to you. We'll sell it at cost."
Since the prices of goods in Huimin Market are so high, even if Fuduoduo sells them at cost price, it will bring out the ugly face of Huimin Market that always distributes disaster money, so there is no need to sell at a loss.
Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Lin Mai would insist on his own opinion. If he did, he would lose a lot every day.
Lin Mai asked: "Why did I only buy three pigs? Is it enough to sell them?"
"Of course it's not enough, but I couldn't get it at all. The three pigs I got were all found by the salesman who went to villages and villages."
Lin Mai was surprised and said: "No way, someone stopped farmers from selling pigs?"
"That's not true. Farmers sold or slaughtered their pigs before the New Year. After the New Year, there will be no pigs left."
Lin Mai had forgotten about this incident.
After talking to Manager Tang on the phone, Lin Mai called the railway system in Beijing and asked when this section of the railway in Beijing would be reopened to traffic.
The person in charge who answered the phone gave an official answer, saying that the approximate opening date could not be determined at present, and everything would depend on the weather.
Lin Mai called the Central Meteorological Observatory again and asked when the heavy snow would end.
At this time, China was very backward in all aspects. It didn't even have weather satellites, so how could it be predicted when the heavy snowfall would end.
The staff at the meteorological station could only tell Lin Mai that the heavy snow might not stop in the next week.
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Ordinary families, no matter how much New Year supplies they store at home, will still have enough to eat after a week.
If the blizzard doesn't stop at that time, problems may arise in the lives of the people in the capital.
The first thing to bear the brunt is that the supply of food baskets cannot be guaranteed.
Linmai decided to increase the transportation volume of cheap seasonal vegetables to protect citizens’ vegetable baskets as much as possible.
It seems that we have to find Zhao Liang again.
She called Zhao Liang and told him to ask her men to buy large quantities of Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, carrots... these common and worthless vegetables in Hu Province in the winter.
Transported to the capital for emergency treatment.
Her Fuduoduo market can’t just sell greenhouse vegetables.
No matter how cheap greenhouse vegetables are, they are much more expensive than seasonal vegetables, and they are not something ordinary citizens can afford to consume every day.
So we still have to sell seasonal and cheap vegetables to the public.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Liang said: "I have thought of this a long time ago, and just sent a salesperson to the urban village of Jiangcheng and surrounding rural areas to purchase these seasonal vegetables.
When the vegetable farmers heard that we were purchasing these vegetables to support the capital, almost no one raised their prices and said that they also wanted to support the people of the capital."
Thinking of that touching scene, Zhao Liang couldn't help but get excited.
It feels so good to have support from all sides when one side is in trouble!
Lin Mai said: "It's better to increase the prices for those farmers appropriately. During the Chinese New Year, if people pick vegetables for us, we have to pay them overtime anyway."
Zhao Liang said hello.
Lin Mai asked him whether pigs could still be harvested in rural areas of Hu Province at this time.
Zhao Liang said: "Who would keep the pig and sell it after the new year? Wouldn't it be good for him to sell it at a high price before the new year?"
Lin Mai was a little disappointed. She couldn't buy live pigs in Hu Province. Her Fuduoduo market would probably be out of pork the day after tomorrow.
I heard Zhao Liang say: "But our two pig farms still have hundreds of pigs, which can be killed in case of emergency."
Lin Mai was quite surprised: "When did our family set up a pig farm? Why didn't I know about it?"
“The year when Fuduoduo Market was first opened, you were worried that you wouldn’t be able to harvest pigs during the Chinese New Year.
Let Brother Feng set up two temporary pig farms and collect some pigs early to raise them in pens.
Brother Feng later developed the two temporary pig farms into fixed pig farms.
Buy a batch of piglets every year and hire someone to raise them to cope with the situation when pigs are not available during the Chinese New Year or after the new year.
This year, because we received enough pigs before, the pigs from these two pig farms have been kept until now, which can just meet your urgent needs."
After Zhao Liang mentioned it, Lin Mai remembered what had happened. She asked Zhao Liang to arrange a truck to send a hundred pigs to the capital first.
We also purchase as many eggs as possible and transport them to the capital.
She was afraid that eggs, like pigs, would not be easy to buy in the suburbs of Beijing.
