Chapter 494: Another year of famine!

In mid-April, the weather is getting hotter, the beach is cloudy and rainy, and the whole world is impetuous!

Due to the emergence of Du Haisheng, there have been some changes in the historical trajectory of the Republic of China. The war between Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and the Jiang government in Nanjing did not start, so the three sides avoided great damage to their vitality.

For the Gui army of Bai Chongxi's department, the old Jiang government also adopted a soft policy, which is not as threatening as before.

In the current situation, the three warlords Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang contain the Japanese army in the Republic of China respectively, and the only eye-catching war is the 18th Army and the coalition of Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu.

Nearly two months have passed since this war, but they are still fighting happily every day. Residents of Shanghai can hear the sound of cannonballs, submachine guns and rifles mixed in it every day. The sound is so powerful, but after two months, no one has eaten the other party, let alone any. Which side wants to admit defeat and show signs of surrender.

It's even more ridiculous. The two sides have more than 200,000 troops fighting every day, charging and charging back every day, with a lot of casualties every day. But up to now, people seem to be the same as pinching with mud. It's still a continuous stream, still overwhelming, killing batch after batch, and then alive. Batch after batch.

In the end, it gives some people the feeling that there are still so many people, and they still do not increase or decrease, no more or less.

Moreover, what makes them more curious is that Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu's allied forces of more than 100,000 people, how did they get the food to eat?

The Iron-blooded 18th Army firmly controls all kinds of docks on Shanghai, and in addition to the Central Army, it is also the Central Army. As we all know, Tang Shengzhi, Wu Peifu and Lao Jiang are simply bitter and deep hatred. In the past two defeats, they have almost disappeared from the eyes of the people of the Republic of China. The people have been talking behind their backs. After this battle, it may be necessary to fight with the Jiang government in Nanjing, let alone provide them with assistance.

However, it is not what these ordinary people can worry about.

Du Haisheng's appearance has changed the trajectory of history, but no matter how he is, he can't change the weather.

Just in the middle of April, the whole weather began to run in a strange direction. The whole Republic of China is either rainstorm or sunny. Although rainstorm and bright sun are two kinds of weather, there is one thing in common in the current Republic of China, that is, a kind of weather lasts for a long time! It is long enough to change the local armor growth and people's lives.

Among the most important grain-producing areas of the Republic of China in Henan, Anhui and Sulu, Henan is suffering from a drought that is not weaker than last year. There has been a drought south of the Huaihe River in Anhui for nearly two consecutive months, and no raindrops have fallen, while the north of the Huaihe River has been drifting and heavy rains all the time. The situation in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces is better. But it's not much better.

As the general manager of Du's Enterprise Grain and Oil Sales Co., Ltd., Zhang Liming has been paying attention to the weather all over the country recently. Last year, Rao made preparations in advance, but in the end, there were still corpses all over the field. Now it's April. Seeing that there was not much snow last winter, and the crops and seedlings were not well maintained. And now it is even worse, and reducing production is an inevitable reality. Du Haisheng has never given him any order to buy grain, which makes him a little anxious. Moreover, he can't guarantee that the summer will survive, and the autumn full of locusts will not appear like last year.

Therefore, when Du Haisheng just got up in the morning and was about to have breakfast, Zhang Liming had already arrived at Du's apartment.

"Yo, you guy, why are you so free to come to me today?"

Du Haisheng looked up and saw that it was him. He smiled at him and waved to him to sit down. For Zhang Liming, Du Haisheng still appreciated it. In just over a year, the grain and oil company made a lot of trouble. Although the grain price was not high under his own interference, the profit was continuously increased. At the beginning, he was asked to be this. The manager also needed it for a while. Later, he wanted to change a better department for him, but he saw that this guy did a good job in this aspect, and there was Li Jie's full support behind him, so he gave up the idea and made the best use of it. The ability in this industry may not be the same in the new department.

As the saying goes, the line is like a mountain, which is exactly the truth.

On weekdays, Zhang Liming seldom comes to Du's apartment, and even Fang Bo has rarely seen this low-key young man, but he has a good impression.

"Boss, the weather at the beginning of spring this year is similar to last year, which is very strange. I guess that in summer, the harvest is not much better than last year, and there is still a shortage of food. Do you think we should prepare in advance?

When Du Haisheng heard this, he put down the breakfast in his hand, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Well, I know. Have other grain merchants taken any action?"

"Yes, many businessmen have begun to collect grain at high prices, but this year's people have grown up their minds. They have not sold all their own grain, and landlords and old money have also seen the business opportunities, and they do not buy grain. Recently, grain prices have shown signs of rising, although not big, But I'm worried that as soon as summer passes, there will be last year's situation.

Zhang Liming didn't understand why Du Haisheng asked himself so. Now he is watching other businessmen take action. There is still no movement on his side. He is anxious, and the boss in front of him doesn't seem to have such thoughts at all.

This made him a little frustrated, but he also knew that he was just a manager of a department. Now Du's enterprise has too many industries, too big, and his company is not light in these companies and is in an awkward position. Especially recently, he also heard that Du's enterprises have a lot of money. Some of them were placed in the R&D department of the hidden five-person ordnance manufacturing company.

However, even so, he still wants to fight for it. After all, although the account of the grain and oil company is operated independently by him, once a large-scale acquisition is carried out, it is not something that a grain and oil company can afford.

"Then let them put it away."

Du Haisheng listened to the situation introduced by Zhang Liming, thought about it slightly, and then smiled strangely and replied indifferently.

"What?"

Zhang Liming looked at Du Haisheng in disbelief, and even thought that he had heard it wrong and asked them to accept it? What should we do with our own grain and oil company?

However, before he could question, Du Haisheng said, "The account of the grain and oil company is independent, so you can use the money in your hand to buy it. Remember, only the landlord's old money is collected, and it should be collected at a low price. If the other party doesn't buy it, you can tell them that when summer comes, there will be no regret selling medicine, warning, threat. Well, just say this to them like this. If you ask who said it, just say it to me.

Du Haisheng has also known for a long time that those businessmen saw that they had made preparations in advance last year, hoarded a large number of grain at a low price, and finally suppressed the price of grain with one person's strength. It can even be said that one person tried to turn the tide. Compared with last year, the weather this year seems to be even worse. These people They are all shrewd businessmen. They are not only rich and unkind. They must be profit-oriented, and it is certain to take action.

If you don't take action, you are a real fool!

However, Du Haisheng doesn't seem to be worried about these at all, and he already cares about them.

However, after listening to Du Haisheng's words, Zhang Liming was still a little worried: "What if those landlords don't buy it?"

Zhang Liming knows that those guys are all miser, iron chickens, old and cunning. They have seen the business opportunities in them, and naturally they will not fall behind.

Not to mention the acquisition at a low price, even if it is affordable, he will burn incense and worship Buddha. But depending on the meaning of the boss in front of him, it seems that everything is well-made.

"Hehe, they don't want it if they don't buy it!"

Du Haisheng just smiled, full of mystery, which made Zhang Liming even more elusive for a while. What kind of medicine the other party sold in the gourd?

"Zhang Liming, there is no doubt about your ability. I also appreciate it. Your greatest advantage is that you complete your duties very seriously. However, your biggest shortcoming is also this. You just fulfill your duties seriously, but let the rules bind your thoughts, brains, do not know how to change, do not understand. Smooth, this is not good for your life. Of course, I don't ask you to be smooth when you do things with me, but in business. Some things can be completely smoother and flexible. The world is not only a little big, and the Republic of China is not the only country on the earth. You should broaden your horizons. The Republic of China does not Foreigners don't necessarily have things. If you can't buy them in China, you can go to a foreign country to buy them. This is a very simple thing. Can a living person suffocate?

"Hey, good boss! Then I won't bother you. Let's go first!"

What Du Haisheng said, Zhang Liming's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed. However, this guy is also a smart person. He is dull but does not mean stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. Although Du Haisheng said something obscure, he also understood it at all. He immediately understood the meaning. He smiled and stood up with a fart, no Any stay out of Du's apartment, full of excitement to drive away...
