Chapter 1201 Arrangements

Who would have thought that the seemingly weak little girl would be the leader of this group of stewards?

Even the girl who had written the IOU for them was now following closely behind the male stewards, and she was obviously no ordinary person.

After arriving on the third floor, Wang Sheng quickly took a few steps forward, opened a door, and respectfully invited Ye Zifen and others to enter.

At the same time, Ye Ziwei and his party in the next room walked out of the room in a tacit understanding and guarded the entrance to the third floor and various key locations to ensure safety.

After Zi Zifen sat firmly, Liu Meng'er picked up the teacup on the table and lightly poured a cup of hot tea for Zi Zifen.

At this time, Ye Zifen indeed felt unbearably thirsty, and her body was slightly chilly, so she picked up the cup without hesitation, blew the hot air a few times, and then took a few sips slowly.

Pang Chao, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to others and sat down on the seat next to Ye Zifen.

He opened his mouth and his voice slowly came out: "Aren't you going to come back for a visit before the New Year? If you come back two months later, maybe even my precious son will start calling me dad and mom!"

After the words fell, the rest of the people found an empty seat and sat down one after another.

Liu Meng'er originally wanted to stand next to Ye Zifen, but when she saw the other person pointing his finger towards the vacant chair beside her, she understood and moved over to sit down.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ye Zifen took the time to respond: "What's the matter? I've only been away from home for only half a year, and you can't hold yourself back so much? Is it such an exaggeration?"

After saying that, she picked up the cup and continued to sip the tea.

Pang Chao took over the conversation: "Well, I feel like I'm working even harder now than when I stayed in the capital! The shops under my control can only barely support themselves now."

Regarding this situation, Ye Zifen had actually foreseen it for a long time and was not too surprised.

At this time, Luo Keren on the side also chimed in and said, "Isn't that right? Take the Yuanhang Clothing Store in the north as an example. Except for the one in Beijing which is pretty decent, the semicolons in other places are basically the same. I’m in a state of struggling.”

Hearing this, Ye Zifen silently placed the tea cup in her hand on the table and nodded slightly in agreement.

Then he ordered: "Then send a message to them. If the store can continue to operate, try to maintain it. If it is really impossible to recover, simply close it. After all, putting human life first is the first principle. If there is any loss, Don’t worry, we will compensate you accordingly.”

Luo Keren responded: "Okay, I understand. I will pass the news on as soon as I get home."

At this time, Li Song interjected: "Currently, among the businesses in our grocery store, grain trading is the most prosperous. Although we have maintained stable prices, we have begun to implement purchase restrictions."

Ye Zifen was confused and couldn't help asking: "Are you worried that someone will take the opportunity to hoard food?"

Li Song nodded silently in agreement, and then explained: "Yes, we really can't afford any risks at this moment. What's more, now that the canal is frozen, no one can know what the situation is in the south? What if food appears? There may be shortages, or there may be difficulties in transporting food after spring, or even our side will be affected next year... I really don’t dare to place a bet easily on these many variables.”

Ye Zifen nodded frequently, expressing understanding and support: "Your concerns are indeed justified, and I fully agree with the decision you made. If it were me, I would also adopt a sales restriction strategy."

However, Li Song's face did not show the slightest relief because of Ye Zifen's approval.

Ye Zifen thought for a while and continued to suggest: "Let's do this. When spring comes next year, you must pay close attention to the movements of various merchant ships, and get in touch with previous grain merchants to inquire about the market conditions and price trends of grain. "

Before Li Song could nod in response, he heard Ye Zifen continue: "The chamber of commerce in our county must take some measures to control prices and must not let the price of food soar too outrageously."

When he said the last sentence, Ye Zifen's eyes had already swept over everyone present.

At this time, Pang Chao suddenly interjected: "But will those grain merchants obey the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Ye Zifen responded: "If they are unwilling to comply, then don't even think about having any business transactions in our county. After this matter is over, I will write to the capital to remind them to value the role and value of the Chamber of Commerce. After all, you are now the president of our chamber of commerce, so don’t let others take advantage of it!”

Pang Chao nodded solemnly to express his understanding, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will never seek personal gain in this way."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, expressing trust, and then said to him: "Of course I believe in your character, but I still hope that you can always stay vigilant."

Then, Ye Zifen turned his attention to Lu Zili and asked, "So, how is the situation there?"

Lu Zili replied: "There haven't been any big problems on my side so far. Even Zitong sent a letter telling me that everything is fine."

Ye Zifen asked: "Is it really not affected at all?"

Lu Zili said in a relaxed tone: "Compared with the same period last year, there is not much fluctuation. After all, our customer base is mainly urbanites, and the prices are affordable, so we are not affected much. This is not like Fuke!"

When it came to Fuke Lai, Wang Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Actually, before the accident in the county, although our Fuke Lai was not so deserted, it was still slightly different compared to the same period last year. It seems inferior. But fortunately, the business in the capital is extremely prosperous, so for now we should give priority to ensuring the supply of seafood in the capital market."

Ye Zifen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, expressing her understanding and approval of Wang Sheng's decision.

Then she suggested: "After the New Year, we can send a caravan to the capital to transport a batch of seafood before opening the river, so as not to delay the business there. After all, this is the mainstay of our economy!"

Wang Sheng agreed with this and added: "Don't worry, I will make relevant preparations in advance. I will send some food over there. According to the news from Xiang Zhibo, the price of food in Beijing has increased a lot." ”

Ye Zifen asked with confusion on his face: "Would he actually ask us to deliver food to them?"

Wang Sheng nodded slightly in affirmation and added: "That's right, and he also explained in detail the specific types of food needed."
