Living like a salted fish in the end times

At the group headquarters, as soon as Zhang Hao arrived at the company, he called all the middle and senior management to hold a small meeting. There was only one theme of the meeting, and that was how to deal with the energy crisis.

Zhang Jiayi first said: "Our Haotian Group relies heavily on energy, whether it is growing mushrooms or raising earthworms, we cannot do without heating.

Fortunately, summer is coming, and the demand for coal has dropped a lot. Generally speaking, the risk is controllable, and even the worst situation can be dealt with.

The only uncertainty now is how long this energy crisis, which has just begun, will last? "

"Then prepare for the worst outcome."

Zhang Hao said without hesitation.

"Worst outcome? Can you give me a hint?"

Zhang Jiayi frowned.

"Cough..." Zhang Hao cleared his throat, and then replied, "The three-year truce period... plus seven or eight years of civil war, let's just count it as ten years!"

"Ten years? Is it too exaggerated?"

Everyone at the scene started talking.

You must know that the last civil war lasted only five years in total. The two camps were exhausted from fighting and ran out of ammunition and food, so they had to choose to compromise in the end.

Zhang Hao knocked on the table: "What I said is not an exaggeration at all. Don't forget the current special environment. This civil war can easily turn into a tug-of-war. I hope all of you can realize the seriousness of the matter."

"Zhang Dong, we understand."

Gao Ce took the lead in expressing his opinion.

This is the general manager of Huimin Mushroom Planting Company and the veteran of the group. His status is second only to Zhang Hao and Zhang Jiayi, and he is the third person with real power.

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Here, let me set the tone first. In the next few years, the group will not make any expansion. I only have one request for you, and that is stability."

"Will this be too conservative?" Zhang Jiayi questioned on the spot, "Just this month, we prepared a big project with the city to expand the scale of earthworm breeding tenfold. Can we make an exception for this? "

"Big project? Signed?"

Zhang Hao hurriedly asked.

Zhang Jiayi stroked her hair, followed by the Hui report: "There is no contract, at most a preliminary intention was reached verbally, and I am preparing to report to you!
Speaking of which, Mayor He first brought up this matter. He encircled us a large piece of land in the Luogang Economic Development Zone, about mu in size. "

"The area is not small, but does the group have the money to invest? If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be much liquid capital in Huizhong's account, right?"

"Uh, less than million."

Zhang Jiayi replied helplessly.

The WFP has kept the purchase price of earthworms very low, with an annual profit of to million yuan, ranking the bottom among the three subsidiaries.

"Then where did you get the funds? Let's talk about it first, don't count on me, I owe a lot of foreign debts now, and I can't pay for it at all."

Zhang Hao received a vaccination in advance.

Zhang Jiayi smiled: "You don't need to worry about the funds. Mayor He contacted the bank for help. Huizhong Company's profits are very stable. If you want, it's not a problem to borrow tens of billions."

"Tens of billions? Where did you get the confidence to borrow so much money?" Zhang Hao was taken aback.

Zhang Jiayi waved her hand and quickly explained:

"You misunderstood me. I'm just giving you an example. The new base doesn't need a complicated factory building. It doesn't cost a few dollars. A billion or so is enough."

"More than a billion? Twenty thousand mu? Are you serious?"

Zhang Hao expressed doubts.

The current one billion or so is only equivalent to five or six billion two years ago, which is absolutely not enough.

Zhang Jiayi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, this time the city wants something from us, and I'm not stupid. Of course, I will do my best to strive for various preferential terms."

"The city won't go back on its word, will it?"

Zhang Hao said worriedly.

It is an open secret that official finances are tight.

"I don't think so. This is the promise given by Mayor He himself. Besides, if the city doesn't cooperate, the project will be ruined. Anyway, we don't have much loss."

Zhang Jiayi has a well-thought-out plan.

"What's the matter with that piece of land? Is it given away for free by the city?" Zhang Hao followed up and asked.

"How is it possible? It should be considered a half sale, half giveaway!" Zhang Jiayi shook her head.

"Half sale, half gift? That's a lot of money, where did you get the money from?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.

Zhang Jiayi took a sip of water calmly, and then threw out the answer: "I didn't pay a dime in cash, but issued an IOU to the city. Huizhong Company takes out one-third of its profits every year." Pay the debt."

"How much is the total?" Zhang Hao asked impatiently.

"Not much, 50 per mu, and 100 mu is exactly billion. I asked someone to estimate that the money for buying the land can be paid off in about ten years. The burden is not heavy."

"50 an acre is really half selling and half giving away."

The price of the land in Huicheng, especially the land near the east, is almost five or six times that of two years ago. No matter how you look at it, this deal is not a loss.

Zhang Jiayi strikes while the iron is hot: "Then what do you think of this project, Mr. Zhang? Do we agree?"

"I have no objection in principle." Zhang Hao replied after thinking for a while, "However, let's put our ugly words first, and the energy crisis is coming soon. The city must be responsible for the energy supply of the new base."

"Of course, according to my observation, the WFP may be behind this incident. In a sense, they are more happy to see it than us."

With the escort of the WFP, there will be absolutely no problems at the new base.

Zhang Hao suddenly realized: "I said, even if this new base is built, the city will not be able to take advantage of it. It turns out that the food agency is the mastermind."

"You are wrong. The city has also benefited a lot. The new base can provide at least jobs. Mayor He is not blind. How could he be indifferent?"

"Okay, then this matter is settled."

Zhang Hao said with a hammer.

Zhang Jiayi finally showed a smiling face: "You just agree, seriously speaking, this energy crisis is a great opportunity for us.

As we all know, many star companies complete their expansion in adversity. The most famous example is the once-in-a-decade economic crisis. Every economic crisis is a process of survival of the fittest and big fish eating small fish. "

"This expansion is limited to Huizhong Company and the new base. I don't want to see other projects launched. Even if they are sent, I will not sign."

Zhang Hao finally warned.

Because of the butterfly effect, his "foresight" is becoming less and less effective, coupled with the influence of mental age, the whole person inevitably slides into conservatism.

Zhang Jiayi nodded solemnly: "I assure you, unless there is an emergency, the company will not launch another project in the next ten years."

I would like to add here that the feed factory has merged with the vermiculture company. With such sufficient raw materials, expansion is a matter of time.

Next, Zhang Hao turned his attention to Huimin Company. The Eastern Academy of Sciences has recently bred a new type of shiitake mushroom. Although the output has not increased but decreased, it has greatly improved the cold resistance.

The news was collected by the company's think tank.

"Mr. Gao, I hope you can introduce this mushroom as soon as possible. The low yield is acceptable."

"Yes, I will contact the Eastern Academy of Sciences later."

Gao Ce immediately agreed.

Zhang Hao thought for a while, and added: "If you have the opportunity, you can try to cooperate with the Eastern Academy of Sciences. I think this kind of mushroom has a lot of potential."

"Mr. Zhang, is the cooperation based on us? Or is it based on the Eastern Academy of Sciences?"

"It's best to focus on us. If it doesn't work, don't force it." Zhang Hao waved his hand, and then ordered: "We still need to be hardworking, and our own scientific research strength must not be left behind. We must hurry up."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. In the past year, we have recruited a lot of technical talents from overseas immigrants. I believe that as time goes by, soon..."

Zhang Hao directly interrupted: "Don't worry, take your time. After all, doing scientific research is not something that happens overnight. You must endure loneliness and don't rush for quick success."
