Friday, September 23rd.

Tomorrow will be the last day of the fourth round of Sino-British negotiations.

During the week-long negotiations, there was no progress at all on either side.

The three major television stations in Hong Kong sent reporters to hold special sessions and seized every opportunity to interview the officials participating in the meeting, but they did not get any meaningful information.

Seeing this scene, until the penultimate day of the meeting, the long-tense psychology of the people of Xiangjiang suddenly collapsed.

Since the morning, all supermarkets, department stores, grocery stores, etc. in Xiangjiang have been frantically purchased by the public.

Whether it is firewood, rice, oil and salt, or various daily commodities, including toilet paper, they are all bought by the people as if they don't need money.

It was only 10 o'clock in the morning, and most of the daily necessities in Xiangjiang were snatched up.

As for pork, beef and mutton, fruits and vegetables, these things were bought out by the uncles and aunts before 9 o'clock.

The remaining part of the department stores left in the warehouse were directly ordered by Governor Youde to prohibit them from being sold today, lest they not sell at all tomorrow, which would cause more terrifying panic buying and immeasurable turmoil.

At the same time, the chief secretary also urgently met with the chairmen and owners of more than a dozen department stores and supermarkets in Xiangjiang as soon as possible, asking them to replenish the goods as quickly as possible, and strive to restore the supply of daily goods to the people in the shortest possible time.

Then all the police officers in Xiangjiang canceled their vacations and were on call 24 hours a day.

Tens of thousands of police officers patrolled the streets with loaded guns, and they were given the power to shoot directly without asking for instructions when the situation was critical.

It's no wonder they're so nervous.

If it is a luxury item, whether it is a car or motorcycle, or clothes, shoes and socks, etc., these are less or directly out of stock, and the impact on people's lives is not great.

But now it's firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables, and it's a daily necessities, you try not to eat for a day or two to see if the people will panic?

If people don't have food to eat and their lives are threatened, it's not surprising that they do something that doesn't make sense.

Almost all the dynasties of Hua were overthrown under this circumstance.

Even such a powerful country can be overturned, and a mere Xiangjiang is nothing.

At present, the Xiangjiang government does not want to care about the negotiation at all, and they only hope that the panic will not spread and cause immeasurable consequences.

At that time, they must have been the ones who carried the black pot!

No one wants to carry this super black cauldron!

Almost all of Xiangjiang's agricultural supplies, food, drink, and Lasa are imported.

Most of them are imported from Treasure Island, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Thailand and other places.

But everyone has a contract and a quota, and for a while, where can we find so many goods to supply the whole of Xiangjiang?

Xiangjiang now has a population of nearly 7 million, and if they don't just eat, but store goods for the winter, to protect themselves, then this consumption is even more staggering.

Because residents don't buy according to their needs at all, but buy when they see it, and snap up it, regardless of whether they really need it.

This is called panic buying.

Fortunately, these people also knew in their hearts that if Xiangjiang was in turmoil, they would not have good fruits to eat, so as soon as they came out of the political secretary, they immediately mobilized their own forces to find a source of goods.

Li Chaoren is the smartest and found Yin Jun directly.

Watsons Group, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa, in addition to Watsons' hypermarket, also has a ParknSHOP supermarket, which is known as the two major supermarkets in Xiangjiang along with Hongkong Land's Wellcome supermarket.

Basically, the supermarkets in Hong Kong occupy 80% of the scale.

So today, PARKnSHOP Supermarket has not escaped the catastrophe, and all the agricultural products and daily necessities that can be sold have been snatched up.

And according to the company's business strategy, everyone didn't react at first, and they were replenished after being robbed, and the warehouses near the supermarket were emptied.

If it weren't for the quick contact of Youde's office, I am afraid that the remaining part of the goods would be transported to major supermarkets and then robbed by the people.

"So exaggerated?" Yin Jun also saw the news from TV, and was shocked when he heard Li Chaoren talk about it.

"Actually, it's more exaggerated than I said. Li Chaoren smiled bitterly, "This has never happened before, so our daily imports are quantitative, especially vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables, grains, edible oil, etc., all according to demand.

I asked, the quota imported tomorrow will be enough for 3 million people for a day at most. To say that this is enough on weekdays, after all, there is Wellcome, and there are other importer channels. But that's not the case now, they obviously bought enough for two or three days, but they didn't feel safe at all, and it seemed that they wanted to buy enough for a month before they stopped!"

"Could it be that we still have to stock up on a month's worth of goods?" Yin Jun thought it was an exaggeration.

Oh, Yin Jun didn't worry about this.

Hutchison Whampoa is a company controlled by Cheung Kong Group, and Yin Jun is the second largest shareholder of Cheung Kong Group, and PARKnSHOP is of course his business.

"Of course, you don't need a month's supply, but in the next three days, it's best to prepare a half-month supply of 3 million people. Li Chaoren said with a straight face, "Then as long as you give me these three days, I will be able to raise supplies." ”

Yin Jun smiled, "Listen to what Li Sheng means, are you sure that I will help you prepare?"

"Yin Sheng, you're not kind. Li Chaoren also laughed, "Over there in the mainland, you are much more familiar than me." With you in the background, of course, it is easier to dispatch supplies urgently. Besides, this time is also a great opportunity, right?"

"I want to hear about it. Yin Jun raised his hand and said.

"Today, only 20% of Hong Kong's supplies, except for water resources, are imported from the mainland. Li Chaodao, "As long as the mainland extends a helping hand in this disaster and gives the people of Xiangjiang great spiritual stability, then they will naturally have more sense of belonging to the mainland, don't you say?"

"Yes!"

Yin Jun nodded.

Li Chaoren actually thought of this as soon as he came to him.

When there is a crisis, it is the time to win the hearts and minds of the people.

If the mainland acts as the anchor of the sea this time, then who will dare to spread rumors in the future, saying that the mainland is going to ruin Xiangjiang?

I'm going to destroy you, what am I going to do with your supplies?

Simply cut them all off, and even don't even give drinking water and domestic water, isn't this even more killing.

Therefore, this is also a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength and goodwill of the mainland.

"Leave it to me!" After pondering for a while, Yin Jun said, "You let Parknshop Supermarket prepare, and by tonight at the latest, the goods will come in a steady stream." ”

"Okay, I'll go and say hello to the Chief Secretary and the Governor, and let the border side cooperate. Li Chaodao, "You also have to pay attention to the formalities, don't be grabbed by people and bark there again." ”

"I know. ”

Yin Jun replied with a smile.

After sending Li Chaoren away, Yin Jun immediately called Zhu Pingfan, the leader of Eastern Guangdong Province.

In fact, Yin Jun is more familiar with Rui Chengzhi, the top government leader of Yuezhou City.

But once you come to Guangdong, it is still a little far away from Xiangjiang, and Nanwan is the closest.

Second, he was worried that there would be too many materials and forces that needed to be called this time, and Rui Chengzhi was probably not so good at all, so he went directly to Zhu Pingfan.

After receiving a call from Yin Jun, Zhu Pingfan was still a little surprised.

But after hearing what Yin Jun said about the situation in Xiangjiang, as well as his request, Zhu Pingfan, such a smart person, immediately knew what Yin Jun meant.

"The sooner the better, this has a very good effect on the image of our mainland. "And the bigger you get, the better." ”

Zhu Pingfan was very happy to hear the word "we are in the mainland" said by Yin Jun, and thought to himself that Huo Lao did not lie to me, Yin Jun still has his heart for the motherland.

But what he attaches more importance to is what Yin Jun said.

After thinking about it for just a minute, Zhu Pingfan said decisively: "I know, it's 1 o'clock in the afternoon, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you send a big truck into the mainland, I will open a special channel for you, return directly after loading, and come back after unloading...... Make sure you have as much as you want, and you won't go home empty!"

"You're so happy, you don't even talk about money. Yin Jun said with a smile.

"Money or anything is a trivial matter, just as Mr. Yin said, our credibility and confidence in our compatriots in Xiangjiang are more important. Zhu Pingfan said, "First of all, the first batch is mainly based on firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables. You ask them to open a list and come over, and we will prepare it here to ensure that things will not be delayed. ”

"Good!"

Yin Jun said briskly.

This is not the time to be polite, and it is better to solve things early than to say 10,000 sentences.

Of course, he believes that Zhu Pingfan can do this, and the execution of the Chinese people is definitely the best.

It's like jumping off a river to block a dam that bursts an embankment, hundreds of people jump when they say they say, and compared to that kind of execution, this kind of thing of mobilizing materials, and it is an effort to gather the strength of a province, is not a problem at all.

Putting down the phone, Yin Jun called Li Chaoren to explain.

Li Chaoren was amazed that it had been solved so quickly, and he hadn't even returned to the company.

But neither Yin Jun nor Zhu Pingfan can joke about this matter.

So after he hung up the phone, he called the warehousing department of Parknshop Supermarket, and made another call to his subordinates and asked them to contact a transportation company.

Yin Jun's second call was to Le Yiling, asking her to arrange for people from Kylin Satellite TV and "Kylin Daily" to use the most powerful lineup to do the report, and through the TV screen, it can be seen by thousands of households.

In such a panicked environment, it's useless for you to just say how much supplies I have.

Even the ancient people knew that the grain trucks were sent to the warehouse after turning around the streets and alleys, and they all knew the effect of display, and there was no reason why modern people would not use it.
