Rebirth of the Wealthy Country

The executives who were filled with indignation just now fell silent instantly.

The meeting hall fell into dead silence again.

At this time, Li Chungang's cell phone suddenly rang.

The executives all felt a little strange.

Because during normal meetings, Li Chungang would never turn on the sound on his mobile phone, or even bring it with him.

Li Chungang didn't explain anything, just turned on the speakerphone and turned the volume to the maximum.

"Hey, is this Pavilion Master Li? The grain has been sold out, and now all distribution channel vendors are asking for price increases, or the Yuan Lao Pavilion will provide subsidies, otherwise they will stop selling!"

Someone immediately muttered below: "How can the price be raised at this time? How can such shady money be made? Where is your conscience?"

However, after he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him like an idiot.

The price of food is rising all over the world, why don’t they?

Distributors are businessmen, not philanthropists!

"You should hold off for a while and don't raise the price," Li Chungang said.

"I can't hold it off any longer. Recently, those distributors said that they have given the Yuan Lao Pavilion a lot of face by not raising their prices in the past few days. Grain distributors in several surrounding countries have already made crazy profits! And now the various costs of grain are also rising.

They have lost too much due to the price increase and need to make money to make up for it!"

"Moreover, outside the stores of major distributors, there are people waiting to buy food. Once they know that food prices will increase five to ten times, I'm afraid something will happen."

"On my side, it can take up to half a day at most. After half a day, I can't do anything."

"Okay, I understand. I will give you a clear answer within half a day at most."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chungang looked at the senior executives coldly.

"You heard it too! In half a day, all distributors will raise prices!"

"Don't you know what will happen to the country once food prices skyrocket?"

Hearing Li Chungang mention the "Earth Kingdom", all the senior executives trembled!

"Now, outside distribution stores across the country, there are large numbers of people waiting to buy food. If this matter is not handled well, people will die!!!"

"We only have half a day. I want you to give me a constructive opinion and stop talking nonsense!!!"

Li Chungang, who has always been elegant, couldn't help but curse at this time.

But who dares to speak now!

Because there are no constructive opinions at all!

The root cause of this matter is that the four major foreign grain companies want to increase prices!

If you want to solve the problem, you have to meet the requirements of the CEOs of the four major grain merchants!

Just now they were scolding the CEOs of the four major grain merchants for being too whimsical. Are they now going to persuade Li Chungang to agree to his request?

Isn’t this a slap in the face?

At the same time, everyone has realized why the CEOs of the four major grain merchants are so confident.

Now it’s really time to get there!

If the food price problem cannot be solved, once the chaos like that in the early days of the Earth Kingdom occurs, the Emperor will definitely come to hold the Council of Elders accountable!

No one spoke, no one dared to speak.

No one was willing to take on this responsibility. They all lowered their heads, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and endured it for a second like a year.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings smiled bitterly and were helpless about the situation.

Time passes minute by minute.

The appointed time has arrived.

Li Chungang's cell phone rang again.

"Hey, Pavilion Master, do you have an answer?"

"I can't bear it anymore!"

"Some distributors have started to raise prices on their own initiative, and I don't dare to punish them. Some people who are so hungry that they can't stand it have smashed the doors of distributors to steal food, and..."

"Hold on for another 10 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, I will definitely give you an answer!"

"..."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds and said helplessly: "Master, if you don't give me a reply in 10 minutes, I will have to acquiesce to all distributors to increase prices. I can't hold on anymore..."

The phone hangs up.

Li Chungang said coldly: "Everyone must express their opinions! No silence is allowed!"

"Who starts first?"

Everyone took two steps back reflexively.

Who dares to say this first!!!

The responsibility is too heavy!!!

If you don't do it right, people will die!!!

At this moment, Shang Ying suddenly said: "Pavilion Master, do you still remember the genius Zhang Xuan that our Elder Pavilion hired at any cost?"

Li Chungang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Remember."

"Xuan Zhang has been paying attention to what happened during this period, why don't we listen to his opinion?" Shang Ying said.

Li Chungang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Henry Zhang's residence is very close to the Senatorial Pavilion, and he was picked up within 5 minutes.

Seeing all the senior members of the Elder Pavilion looking at him, Henry Zhang suddenly felt so proud!

He stared at Li Chungang's throne and thought to himself: From now on, that throne will definitely belong to me!

"Xuan Zhang, you should have heard about the matter. Do you have any good suggestions?" Li Chungang said.

Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Pavilion Master, this matter can be solved very easily as long as you listen to me."

Li Chungang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me about it!"

Henry Zhang smiled as he should have: "As long as we agree to the conditions of the four major grain dealer CEOs, won't all the troubles be solved?"

Li Chungang: "..."

The Four Heavenly Kings: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Isn’t this fucking bullshit?

Everyone knows that the problem can be solved by agreeing to the conditions of the CEOs of the four major grain merchants! What do you need to say?

Li Chungang frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

Henry Zhang shook his head: "Pavilion Master, this is the only way to solve the problem! Everyone knows it!"

"Besides, I don't think there is any harm in agreeing to the conditions of the CEOs of the four major grain merchants."

"I have studied abroad for many years, and I think the productivity and technology in foreign countries are much better than those in Daxia."

"Inviting investment and letting foreign capital come in to boost our domestic industries is a great thing!"

"Even if there is no food price issue, I would still like to support it with both hands!"

"Oh, of course, the conditions still need to be discussed, otherwise it will appear that our Senate has no qualifications. On behalf of the Senate, I am willing to negotiate conditions with the four major grain merchants, lower the price, and at the same time let them

Food prices must be lowered starting today!”

Li Chungang and other senior executives frowned after hearing Henry Zhang's words.

"What do you think?" Li Chungang asked.

Shang Ying said: "I think what Henry Zhang said makes sense. Since there is no other way to deal with the matter, we can only negotiate conditions with the four major grain merchants to minimize our losses."

Liu Wuchang nodded in agreement: "Well, it's an emergency. Lowering food prices is a top priority. We can only compromise."

Wang Pengpeng said helplessly: "There seems to be no other way."

Zhuge Youtu scratched his head and said: "Listen to Henry Zhang, if this continues, the distributors and the people will lose control."

Li Chungang looked around at the senior executives: "Who is in favor and who is against?"

As a result, none of the executives who had been impassioned and indignant just now objected and collectively chose to approve.

Li Chungang's heart was extremely desolate.

The dignified Daxia Elder Pavilion was actually taken advantage of by four shabby foreign grain companies!

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to agree to their conditions!

In the end, Li Chungang seemed to have lost his energy and spirit, waved his hands in a decadent manner and said: "That's all, just do what Henry Zhang said."
