Chapter 649: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity (2)

Yao Yi covered his big mouth, went back to his bedroom, stomped Li Hongtai's feet angrily and left directly, and when he left, he also took Yao Yi's grandfather to the Chinese permanent office in Geneva, where on the one hand he communicated with the country in a timely manner, and on the other hand, he was able to discuss some things secretly in a timely manner.

That night, James rushed to Yao Yi's place, and as soon as he saw Yao Yi, he asked, "Duke Yao, what's wrong!"

Yao Yi asked, "How's the oil storage?"

"Everything is going according to our plan, and with increasing production, I believe it won't be long before we reach our storage target of 30 billion barrels," James said.

Yao Yi said: "Further faster strength, in addition, you have to do one more thing!"

James said, "What's the matter!"

Yao Yi said: "This is an opportunity to make a fortune, a godsend, to ensure that we make a lot of money, you now use all the cargo ships to buy a large amount of wheat, soybeans, 'jade' rice and cotton 'flowers' from the United States, and store all these goods in the horse collar, and within ten days the quantity will reach 20 million tons of each type!"

James asked puzzledly: "Why do you do this, this year is a bumper year in the world, there is no need to do these things, the world's demand for food has not increased too much, I don't see any business opportunities!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "You don't see any business opportunities, hehe, I can only say that you don't pay attention to the changes in the world form, do you know that there are demonstrations in the Soviet Union that are higher than one 'wave'!"

"It's not news anymore, and it's been going on for more than a year, and so far, I don't see any business opportunities," James said.

Yao Yi said with a smile: "You didn't see a business opportunity, that's because you don't understand the situation, the demonstrations in the Soviet Union have seriously affected their already fragile agriculture, at that time, if it weren't for my trading company to continuously transport a large number of agricultural products from China, the Soviet Union's contradictory plan would have been even more powerful!"

James understood at this time and said: "It turns out that the Soviets have persisted for so long, and it is you who have continuously supported them behind your back, have you made extremely rich profits!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "You are only half right, I have made a lot of money, but if we don't do this, there are other people doing this business, and the Soviets themselves know very well what they need, so don't take us businessmen too seriously, we are only doing business, and we have little impact on the political situation!"

In fact, Yao Yi understands in his heart, but the reason why he belittles himself like this is that there are some things that are not good to say to James, after all, James is British, and the relationship between the British government and the Chinese government is not very good, Yao Yi doesn't want James to understand some things and do things that are unfavorable to China, so, to a certain extent, deliberately conceal some facts.

James thought for a while and said: "I heard that prices are inflating in China now, does it have anything to do with you, you have transported a large number of agricultural products from China to the Soviet Union, and made huge profits, but there are not enough agricultural products in China, which has caused prices to rise!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "Don't 'mess' button my hat, I said, we are just businessmen, where there is profit, there is our figure, do what I say, and make a fortune this time!"

James thought for a while and said: "We have invested such a huge amount of grain this time, once it is shipped to China, all kinds of prices will fall in response, and at that time, our profits cannot be guaranteed!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "Do what I say, there is absolutely no problem, rest assured, it will definitely make you double the profit!"

James was surprised and said: "What, the profit of grain can be doubled, this is unheard of, but, according to what you say, we transport grain in such a large quantity, what should the US government do if it is aware of it!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "Why did I say that you should take ten days to complete this matter, so we must hurry up and seize the business opportunity, this business opportunity is fleeting, you know this aspect better than me!"

When James heard this, he said, "Understood, I'll arrange it!"

Yao Yi said: "You must complete the task, this matter is a big deal now!"

James said: "Don't worry, we have our own logistics company, as well as our own fleet, to complete such a thing, it's not easy, let's see, it won't take ten days, it can definitely be done!"

Yao Yi believed in James's words, and knew James's ability, and after getting James's promise, he went back to the bedroom and slept beautifully.

In addition to sleeping, Yao Yi paid close attention to the situation in China and hid for three days in a row.

During these three days, the situation in China became more and more intense, and all parts of the country became 'chaotic', and some bankrupt state-owned factories and unemployed people in society took the opportunity to make trouble, and the whole situation was even more 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' than in the Soviet Union.

Naturally, all the armed forces are already in a state of combat readiness, and the United States and the Soviet Union are also paying close attention to the demonstrations in China.

It turned out that the peaceful demonstrations turned into smashing and looting, and many stores closed their 'doors' one after another, while Yao Yi's stores in China closed their 'doors' early, and all the employees stayed at home except for those on duty.

On the streets, incidents of smashing bottles, smashing cars, and burning shops are not uncommon in Yanjing City.

For a period of time, the soaring prices have caused the anger in the hearts of the common people to be constantly released, and the Chinese society is a society that does not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and everyone is poor, but if some people get rich through special means, while others are still poor, this society will naturally have turmoil.

During the three days, Li Hongtai was originally going to return to China early, but in the end, under the arrangement of Chairman Wei, he could only stay in Switzerland.

In this regard, Chairman Wei calculated very accurately, if at this time, Li Hongtai was in the country and Yanjing City had a 'turmoil', Li Hongtai would inevitably be held responsible, but if Li Hongtai was abroad, he could shirk responsibility for this matter and find a scapegoat to take the blame.

On the other hand, Chairman Wei also saw very clearly, he knew that the root cause of the matter was the problems that arose during the reform, and in the final analysis, it was an economic problem, if Yao Yi could be allowed to help, when the time came, Li Hongtai would return to China, and then he would not be a person at fault, but a person with merit.

However, at the critical time, Yao Yi hid and didn't see anyone, Li Hongtai simply stayed here with Yao Yi, as long as he saw Yao Yi, he would definitely not let Yao Yi go, in addition, after discussing with Yao Yi's grandfather, the strategy of how to deal with this was basically determined, just waiting for Yao Yi to appear and hold Yao Yi down to solve the problem.

Yao Yi held back for three days, and felt that it was almost over, so he came out.
