Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

Chapter 1469 Procurement Channels

"Oh, I'm not talking about your Dongting County!"

Naturally, what Ling Chengyue was talking about was not Dongting County. He had already known that Dongting County was preparing for a rainy day.

now!

Since Dongting County can complete the construction of the new city, they will definitely not have any big problems in dealing with the disaster.

Zhou Pengcheng's planning played a key role at this moment.

But Ling Chengyue is not the county party committee secretary, he is the leader of Shonan Province, so he must consider the issue from the perspective of Shonan Province.

"Our economy in southern Hunan Province is relatively backward, and there are many ethnic minorities gathered here, so we need to take care of many things at the same time. County Magistrate Zhou, Secretary Ling and I have seen the achievements you have made in Dongting County. , but some things should not be said carelessly. A province is not comparable to a county, it is much larger..."

Guimingshan also said softly, although the country must have a batch of disaster relief supplies coming.

But to be honest, this kind of emergency anti-disaster supplies can only be used for emergencies, and even for emergencies, they may not be enough!

Ling Chengyue nodded and said: "Currently, the financial pressure in the province is also very tight. Disaster prevention work in various places requires allocations, and there are many other expenditures. Now our primary focus is disaster prevention. As for logistics, Protection can only come second to disaster prevention..."

"So, once we encounter such a big disaster, the government will be under great pressure. Secretary Ling and I rushed back this time, mainly to take charge of these things. But Xiao Zhou, don't be too stressed. , what you have done is good enough.”

Guimingshan didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhou Pengcheng.

Zhou Pengcheng nodded and said: "Secretary Ling, Secretary Gui, I said there are ways, and there really are some. First, let me talk about the first one, which is the food problem..."

"The food problem is also a top priority. People are displaced, and the next most important thing is food. Xiao Zhou, do you have a solution? I talked to comrades from the Provincial Food Department before, and the current food reserves are Some, but because it’s not the autumn harvest season yet, we’re still short of money now.” Ling Chengyue frowned.

"Secretary Ling, can you consider purchasing some from other places?" Gui Mingshan asked.

"Once a disaster strikes, food prices will continue to rise. Firstly, the government doesn't have enough money. Secondly, if there is a disaster here, there will be no disaster elsewhere. I don't know how many people across the country have been affected by this disaster. , so many situations are still unknown."

Ling Chengyue was most worried about this problem. If it was just Bashu Province or Xiangnan Province that was affected by the disaster, it actually didn't matter!

Although it is not easy to mobilize the whole country to save a province, it can still be done.

But now, it is no longer just a problem of a certain province or city. The population density along the entire Yangtze River is very high.

It is estimated that disasters in various provinces are inevitable. At this time, the landlords may not have any surplus food. Who will sell it to you?

No money, no food to buy?

It seems that all this has fallen into a dilemma.

"That's true. After we get back, we need to hold a meeting immediately to make arrangements. The superiors told us that the floods are expected to reach our southern Hunan province no later than tomorrow afternoon. Time is tight and the task is heavy." Guimingshan also looked solemn. said.

"Xiao Zhou, tell me about the food problem..." After Ling Chengyue finished speaking, he once again gave Zhou Pengcheng a chance to speak.

"Secretary Ling, Secretary Gui, didn't I purchase food for our Dongting County before? At present, it should be enough for the people of Dongting County to support the people of Dongting County for three months."

"We already know this. Your Dongting County is not short of food. But you are not the only Dongting County in Xiangnan Province..." Ling Chengyue said in a deep voice.

Zhou Pengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Ling, I know. What I want to say is that this time we are purchasing rice from country T."

"Country T? Your rice is actually imported from abroad?" When Ling Chengyue heard this, he was a little shocked.

Guimingshan also asked with some confusion: "We have a lot of domestic food, right? Why do you want to go to country t to import rice? Isn't this just letting foreigners make our money for no reason?"

"The rice from country T tastes very good, although the price is a little higher. But at that time, I also considered that if we buy rice from China, we will be comfortable with it, and there will not be much left for our other brother provinces. Already..."

Zhou Pengcheng's considerations were right, but these were not one of the reasons why he bought rice from country T!

But because Wu Tai and the others also control the largest rice company in country T, so even if the price is higher, most of the money earned is still made by Wu Tai.

the most important is!

This time Zhou Pengcheng asked Wu Tai to hoard all the rice he could collect in case of emergency.

Wu Tai didn't hesitate much. His rice was already piled up in many warehouses.

But he didn't know why Zhou Pengcheng was hoarding rice?

Zhou Pengcheng only told Wu Tai this matter once in private, but Wu Tai may have forgotten this matter now!

"That makes sense. But even if you buy rice in Dongting County, it has little to do with Shonan Province, right?"

"Secretary Ling, if it doesn't have anything to do with it, I won't talk nonsense. What I want to say now is that it has a lot to do with it..."

Just the next moment!

Zhou Pengcheng brought him even more shocking news...
