2008, 1st January, New Year's Day.
Early in the morning.
Li Dong had just opened the window when the howling cold wind made him shiver. His sleepy mind instantly woke up.
He exhaled lightly, and the air instantly turned into white fog.
Li Dong stared out the window for a moment, then looked up at the sky. Perhaps it was going to snow.
The heavy snowfall of 2008 seemed to be around this time, right?
Li Dong still remembered that he had just finished his exams and was preparing to go home for his last winter break.
Just as he was preparing to go home, a snowstorm struck.
He left a step earlier than the others, so he got on the bus for the return trip.
But on the way back, the bus broke down several times.
It was supposed to be a three-hour journey, but in the end, he set off at 8 in the morning and only reached home at 6 in the evening. He drove for a full 10 hours.
Li Dong was considered lucky. He reached home when the snowstorm started. At that time, he had a roommate. He waited until it was almost New Year's Eve before the school arranged for him to set foot on the road back home.
In his previous life, he was just a student. It did not matter if he went home late.
No matter how severe the snowstorm was, he could just stay at home for the winter. It would not affect him too much.
But it was different in this life. Li Dong's expression gradually became serious.
Putting aside the important matters of saving people and the country, once the snowstorm arrived, Far away would be in trouble.
Regardless of whether it was shopping malls or supermarkets, they could not do without the support of logistics.
Far away, there were hundreds of new supermarkets, but there were not many distribution centers. In addition, large storage centers were only distributed in some important cities.
Once the roads were closed and the snow blocked the supermarkets, the supermarkets would be out of stock, and the shopping malls would have a backlog of goods. It would be very troublesome!
Thinking of this, Li Dong's expression became even more serious.
Fortunately, it shouldn't be snowing yet. When did the snow disaster start?
Li Dong thought for a moment and gave Chen Ke a call. The moment the call connected, he said, "Go and find out when Agricultural University's winter break starts."
Chen Ke: "…"
After a long while, Chen Ke came back to her senses and said dryly, "Jiangbei Agricultural University?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll go check right away."
"Yes. Also, is Director Sun and the others back?"
"Mr. Sun is back, but Mr. Chen can't leave for the time being. Mr. Qin is also working in Shanghai. There will be another store opening in Beijing and Tianjin in the next two days, so Mr. Qi can't make it back. Currently, Mr. Zhang Zhang Mingduo, Mr. Chen Heming, and Vice President Wang are confirmed to be able to come back. They are on the way now and will arrive before noon. "
"Wang Yue is here?"
Li Dong's face lit up as he smiled and said, "Okay, let's have the cafeteria arrange a welcome dinner for Mr. Wang."
After hanging up, Li Dong went downstairs.
The housekeeper was preparing breakfast. When she saw Li Dong coming downstairs, she quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Li, breakfast is ready."
Li Dong nodded and asked the two children to start eating. After eating a few mouthfuls, Li Dong said to the housekeeper, "Aunt Zhang, arrange for someone to come and repair the yard in the next few days. I think it's going to snowstorm. Don't let the yard collapse."
"Blizzard?"
The housekeeper was a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Is the snow very heavy?"
"Yes."
Li Dong didn't say much, but the housekeeper took it to heart.
She had absolute trust in Li Dong.
This young man, who was about the same age as her daughter, was a god in her eyes.
If he said there was going to be a blizzard, then there would definitely be a blizzard.
After Li Dong finished eating and went out, the housekeeper cleaned up the dishes. It was not until Zhou Yawen came that the housekeeper found a chance to rest.
Taking advantage of the free time, the housekeeper contacted the property management and asked them to send someone to repair the yard.
After the call, the housekeeper's phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from her daughter, the housekeeper Aunt Zhang suddenly smiled and answered with a smile, "Jiajia, today is New Year's Day. Did you go out to play?"
"No, the exams are coming soon. I'm revising. Mom, your phone was busy when I called you just now. Are you calling? "
"Yes, Mr. Li said there is going to be a blizzard. He asked me to get someone to repair the yard."
"Mr. Li …"
The person on the phone was a little dazed. After a while, she said, "He said there is going to be a blizzard?"
"Yes, I think the sky is a little foggy. I'm afraid it is going to snow. Jiajia, wear more clothes these few days. Your down jacket is a little old. Go buy a new one. I'm Mr. Li's housekeeper now. I earn seven or eight thousand a month. Don't save money for me. If you need money, tell me. I will find time to transfer it to you … "
"Got it, Mom. I will take care of myself. You also take care of yourself and Dad. Also, Li Dong is so stingy that he doesn't give you a holiday on New Year's Day! "
"This child, how can you say that? Let me tell you …"
"I know, I know. You have to be responsible for taking other people's money. Mom, my classmate is looking for me. I'll hang up first."
"Okay, okay. Remember to buy yourself a new down jacket …"
"…"
Accompanied by her mother's nagging, the phone was hung up after a long time.
…
Nanjing University.
In the female dormitory.
Qian Jiajia hung up the phone and muttered, "A blizzard? The weather forecast didn't say anything? "
A girl with a ponytail who slept in the bunk next to her heard her muttering and could not help but laugh. "Jiajia, what are you muttering about? Is Auntie nagging you again? "
"I'm used to it. Right, my mom said it is going to be a blizzard soon. Tingting, let's go out and buy something in the afternoon, in case we can't go out during the snowstorm. "
"A blizzard? I'm going to faint. Who told you that? Besides, even if it snows, your mom is in Jiangbei and we are in Sunan. It doesn't necessarily snow here. "
"Jinling is so close to Pingchuan. If there is a blizzard in Pingchuan, it will be the same here."
"You're already a university student and yet you're still so obedient. You believe Auntie when she says it is going to snow. Auntie can predict it even without the weather forecast? If it is really that good, ask Auntie when it will snow, how heavy it will be, and whether the roads will be blocked. Hehe, if Auntie can really guess it, we can make a small fortune. "
Qian Jiajia was confused. "Make a small fortune?"
The ponytail girl could not help but sigh. "You are so stupid. How did you get into Nanjing University? Don't you know that information is money? If there is a blizzard and the roads are blocked, won't the prices of some things increase? The prices of agricultural products, vegetables, and fruits will increase. Also, if the snow is really heavy, things like anti-skid chains will become an urgent necessity. We can find a few people to go up and down the slope and sell dozens of sets a day. If each set increases by 100 yuan, we will be rich … "
"Is that so?" Qian Jiajia was still uncertain. She thought for a while and said, "But don't they know how to prepare? When will it be our turn? "
The ponytail girl was about to collapse. She was speechless. "I'm just following your words. Didn't you say there is going to be a blizzard? What is a blizzard? It's extremely heavy. But the weather forecast did not say anything. No one will prepare in advance. Think about it. If it is really going to be a blizzard soon, won't we get the news in advance? Won't we be able to prepare in advance and make a fortune when no one is prepared? "
"That seems to make sense." Qian Jiajia nodded quickly. Then she said with a miser's face, "Tingting, you are too smart! Then let's go prepare. I still have 2,000 yuan with me. It's all given by my mother. What do you think we should buy to make a fortune? "
The ponytail girl's mouth twitched. "You are crazy. I just said it casually. How can you take it seriously? You should keep your little stash for yourself. If there is no blizzard or the weather forecast two days later, we will lose a lot of money. "
Qian Jiajia frowned. She thought for a while and said, "Why don't we wait for two days? If there is no weather forecast two days later, we will go hoarding, okay?"
"Jiajia, did you take the wrong medicine?"
The ponytail girl laughed. "Do you really believe your mother's words? Auntie might just be saying it casually. "
"No, it's not my mother. It's …"
"Your father said it?"
"Bah! No way. Anyway, it's a very powerful person who said it. I will ask my mother later and let her ask that person. Maybe we can really make a fortune. We can even earn back our food expenses for the next semester. "
"Damn, you must have a fever today …"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I don't think he will lie."
…
Li Dong, who was on the way to the company, didn't think that his casual words would attract the attention of others.
In this world, there would always be smart people.
Sometimes, a careless word from a big shot could easily create a few small legends.
Of course, this wasn't what Li Dong should be concerned about.
Soon, Li Dong's car arrived at the Far away Building.
When he got out of the car, the employees of Far away Building greeted Li Dong with joy.
Although New Year's Day was not as good as New Year's Eve, it was also the beginning of the New Year.
In addition, Faraway Group had achieved brilliant achievements in the past few years. The company would hold a grand celebration this New Year's Day. It was said that there would be a lucky draw.
The employees of other companies did not care about the lucky draw, but Far away was different. It was a real benefit.
Foreign travel, home appliances, and cash prizes ranging from thousands to tens of thousands were all real things.
Far away never cheated. Their boss was rich.
Along the way, Li Dong responded to a few greetings and soon arrived at the top floor.
Outside the elevator, Chen Ke was waiting.
When she saw Li Dong coming out of the elevator, Chen Ke said with a smile, "General Manager Li, happy New Year!"
"En, happy New Year."
Li Dong smiled and said as he walked, "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?"
"I called and asked. Agricultural University officially has winter break on the 22nd."
"The 22nd?"
Li Dong thought about it for a moment. Generally speaking, the time when the university officially started its winter break was the last time. In fact, everyone would leave after the exams.
In other words, the big snowstorm should come a few days earlier.
Even if it was a week, there should be a big snowstorm around the 15th, and it would be very serious by then.
There was still half a month left, so he had to be prepared to avoid trouble when the time came.
Thinking of this, Li Dong said to Chen Ke, "When CEO Wang and the others are back, inform everyone that there will be a meeting at two in the afternoon."
Chen Ke quickly noted it down and nodded. "Got it."
"Also, ask CEO Wu to come to my office later."
"Okay, I will inform CEO Wu immediately."
"…"
With Li Dong's orders, a busy year began.
