Please make money.

It's not considered robbery if you give money!

The assistant followed behind Jiang Tianyi, admiring her very much: "Miss, you really have a kind heart! The citizens will definitely be grateful to you!"

"I don't need anyone's gratitude, I just feel upset that someone dared to speak to me like that."

Jiang Tianyi arranged things proudly and returned to the third floor, where he found that Alia had also come and was eating bread.

"You eat this?" Jiang Tianyi stood on the spiral staircase, looking down at Alia with a frown on his face.

"Uh - can't I eat it?" Alia looked at the bread, then at the insulated box next to it: "I thought I could take whatever I wanted."

She wiped her hands, but she had no money on her, so she could only put the bread in her mouth and ask for paper and pen, preparing to write an IOU or something to the other party.

Yes, this thing really tastes good. If it were placed in a bakery or something like that, it would sell for twenty or thirty bucks...

Jiang Tianyi opened his mouth, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this guy was really stupid or was speaking sarcastically.

She almost suppressed her anger: "There are no people in need of rescue in the surrounding streets. I saw it clearly from the upper floors before."

"Yes, I know. I have also contacted the official rescue team in the city. Except for some citizens trapped in their homes, the calls for help on the streets have basically been handled. The quality of our Tianhai City's infrastructure is pretty good. The communication can actually hold up until now..."

Alia was prepared for the worst scenario, which was that Tianhai City would become an isolated island filled with water.

Water, electricity, gas and other supplies are all cut off. In such an environment, most people can rely on supplies at home or in some public areas to survive for two or three days, waiting for help from other provinces. What she has to do is to provide a safety net for the most difficult areas.

For example, the needs of hospitals, infant supplies, medicines for injuries, etc.

Uncle San has several special generator trucks, and she has arranged them near the largest hospitals.

Hospitals generally use generator sets in the power range of 3-1000kw. For small hospitals as backup, they usually use 3-15kw generator sets mainly for individual medical equipment, and 20-75kw generator sets for emergencies. As for medium and large hospitals, they have 100-1000kw generator sets ready.

The First People's Hospital has already connected the generator truck to the distribution room and has made preparations, so that even if there is a power outage at night, it can be guaranteed to be safe.

But for now, other than the water accumulating faster than expected, everything else seems to be fine.

Jiang Tianyi walked up to Alia wearing a windbreaker, watched her mutter to herself as she wrote an IOU, and then took away a whole basket of bread.

"……What are you doing?"

"If they're handed out for free, I'll eat two, but if they're sold, I'll go all gaga!"

Alia handed her the IOU: "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Tianyi took a deep breath and said, "No, I didn't eat it. The bread is free to take, and the other hot drinks are free to take. I asked the cafeteria upstairs to bring the food down."

"Oh, give me the IOU."

"No." Jiang Tianyi flicked the IOU: "As long as I don't ask you for money, it doesn't matter, right?"

"Forget it, just keep it as a souvenir. It's only 500 yuan, but..."

Alia rubbed her chin, remembering something she hadn't noticed before.

In this case, if the power and Internet are cut off, doesn’t that mean that the mobile payment that everyone is used to can no longer be used?

As for cash shopping, let’s not talk about how much cash everyone has on hand. With the amount of shopping during this disaster period, I’m afraid the supermarkets won’t be able to give change…

"Lele!"

"Hey! Here they come!" An Lele, who was feeding the two rescued little swallows, popped her head out from the potted plant: "What's going on?"

"Contact the supermarket and have them sort and pack the supplies according to the emergency supplies distribution method. Also - well, Boss Jiang, you can also come and discuss something."

Jiang Tianyi frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Lend me a few hundred million."

"...???"

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about cash. It's like this. You have a large supermarket chain, right?"

“Yeah.” Jiang Tianyi thought to himself, you are talking nonsense. Do you want to guess what my Jiang family mainly does?

"Lend me a few hundred million worth of goods. If citizens come to shop during this period and need supplies or daily necessities, I will give them IOUs."

"…What do you mean? I don't understand."

"No one has any money, no cash, absolutely no money - if you don't believe me, ask them - Lele! Do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, how much do you want?" An Lele searched his pocket and took out a handful of cash.

There were quite a few coins, both domestic and foreign, and even several small gold pieces weighing several grams.

"..." Ailia and Jiang Tianyi fell silent at the same time, looking at the odds and ends in this guy's pocket.

Well, both of them have some experience in this area - with your configuration, you are ready to run away at any time, right?

Cash can be used everywhere, but in places where cash cannot be used, those few small gold pieces can be exchanged for enough supplies for temporary expenses, no more, no less.

"Forget it, I didn't ask you." Alia ignored her and went back to business with Jiang Tianyi: "When citizens come to buy things, if they don't have enough cash or have payment problems, we can write them an IOU with the amount and let them take the note and the supplies home first. When the water recedes, they can come back to pay when they are free."

Jiang Tianyi looked at Alia as if she was an idiot: "What's the difference between this and donating supplies?"

"Of course, if you donate it, it's free. I'm selling things!"

“How many people do you think will come back to give money?”

"It shouldn't be less. Anyway, if it were me, I would come back to give it to you."

"...Ha." Jiang Tianyi curled his lips: "If you want to do charity, don't drag me along. I'm doing business."

"This is business, it's just that you think I will lose money - so I asked you to borrow a few hundred million, just think of it as advertising."

"How many hundreds of millions are there?"

"Just--how much stock do you have?"

"Guess why Tenghuatang and Wal-Mart chain have not been able to completely occupy Tianhai's hypermarket market? Who is fighting against them?"

"Holy crap! The Tianrun Department Store Chain is yours?!"

"To be exact, I am the largest shareholder. Why, so surprising?"

Seeing Alia's surprised expression, Jiang Tianyi was particularly pleased - I like seeing you being ignorant and stupid!

"Great!" Alia slapped her thigh. "I was worried that you didn't have enough goods! Just name your price! I'll buy all your stock!"

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. I'll pay you! What's the market price? I'll pay you according to the market price! Not the purchase price, so everyone can make money. How about that?"

What Ailia is doing is equivalent to buying up all the goods in Tianhai City’s third largest chain department store in one go. The question is whether Jiang Tianyi will agree?

The assistant next to him looked at the expression of his young lady, then looked at Alia, wondering if he had just seen this scene...

Next, the young lady should be angry, right?

"I don't agree." Jiang Tianyi was very calm.

"Um... add money?" Alia scratched her head: "That's fine. If you want to add some, how much?"

"I'm not selling it."

"No, you're doing business, how come you still don't sell it?"

"I'm doing business, and it's my freedom to sell to whomever I want."

"Boss Jiang, you can't do this. I'm warning you! If you want to raise prices and disrupt the market, I—ah, I will report you!"

Jiang Tianyi looked at this guy for a moment, sneered, and turned away.

"Let the person in charge of the supermarket over there come to talk. It's tiring to discuss business with you."

After that, she whispered a few words to the assistant, who nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

After An Lele finished feeding the little bird, she came over and grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth, saying vaguely: "Miss, what does she mean..."

"I don't know, but as long as there is something to talk about, it's just money."

Ailia felt a little relieved. She had only spent two days stocking up on goods and was worried that it wouldn't be enough. Unexpectedly, she found one with stock here.

She is actually the largest shareholder of Tianrun Department Store? Wow, she is really well hidden.

Unlike myself, I am clean and honest. I know how much I have and there is nothing to hide.

What? Huanxiguan? Ahem, don't ask the Warrior of Light such a dark question...

The assistant chatted with Alia for a few words and handed her a business card with the contact information of the person in charge of Tianrun Department Store.

About an hour later, Mr. Sun and the store manager of Aililai arrived by boat, and the person in charge of Tianrun Department Store was also dragged over.

Jiang Tianyi returned to the third floor, followed by bodyguards pushing several long rows of food carts. Even with the insulating lids on, he could faintly smell the aroma of high-end ingredients.

She walked down with her arms folded across her chest, looked around the huge atrium with her chin raised, and then frowned.

"Where's Alia?"

"Miss Ai?" The assistant who was listening to the "Business Cooperation" turned around and said, "She went to rescue."

"Rescue? Hasn't it been completed?"

"Oh, not downtown, but to Xiqiao Reservoir. She said if the rain keeps falling, there might be... um, some dam problem, I can't remember exactly, she said she wanted to go there."

"Is she Superman? Huh? Xiqiao Reservoir - if something goes wrong with the reservoir, what can she do alone?!"

"I heard from Miss An that their Ai Group seems to have mobilized several hundred construction machines in advance, and now they are all over there."

"...?"

……

……

“It feels like being at sea, not in the city.”

The speedboat started rumbling, and An Lele fiddled with the outboard motor: "Miss, do you think there will really be a problem with the reservoir?"

Ailia was looking at the information in her hand. The information in the waterproof bag was dripping with raindrops. She shook off the water and looked up at the direction.

"You went the wrong way. You should go that way."

"Eh? But the navigation isn't..."

"There's something wrong with the navigation. Drive that way."

Alia's sense of direction is innate. If she were in the Han Dynasty, she would have a device with built-in satellite navigation and positioning.

The reason why Li Guang was difficult to be promoted was not because he was incompetent. If he was incompetent, then the Xiongnu guide he captured was also incompetent? Was Zhang Qian, who was sent by Emperor Wu of Han to serve as a navigator for him, also incompetent?

All I can say is that those places are really difficult to travel. Even the Huns themselves would get lost. It is an uninhabited area now, let alone thousands of years ago.

Therefore, Huo Qubing's achievement of conquering the Wolf's Lair seems so legendary. After all, he was able to move back and forth in the no-man's land with his troops and still ensure combat effectiveness. Such a general could defeat anyone with a hammer hanging on his head, and could even kill his opponent with a kite.

The rescue team turned a corner and drove onto another road. Only then did An Lele realize that it seemed to be the right way.

"Miss, you haven't answered my question yet! Is there really going to be an accident at the reservoir?"

"It's possible. I'm looking into it. In theory, as long as the spillway is unobstructed, there won't be a big problem. But for safety reasons, we still have to relocate these people."

Ailia drew a circle in the west of the city. This area was roughly outside the fourth ring road of Tianhai City, and there were two towns further down.

About 200,000 or 300,000 people? Alia wasn't sure about the population density here, but she thought the authorities should have already assessed the risks.

It took the rescue team almost two hours to reach the Xiqiao Reservoir, and Alia also saw Ai Rulin who was eating.

The latter no longer had the demeanor of a suit and tie as he rode in a Maybach. He was wearing a dark green raincoat and even a helmet.

But it seemed that this was the other party's daily posture. He was squatting on the tracks of the excavator to eat, with the excavator arm bent over his head and the bucket turned over to be used as an umbrella.

"Third uncle——"

"Why are you here?" Ai Rulin finished his rain-soaked rice in a few mouthfuls and said, "It's not safe here, let's go back quickly. Didn't you see that the drivers didn't dare to get out of the car? They are all standing guard. The rain is too heavy, and something could go wrong at any time."

It is reasonable that a reservoir of four million cubic meters cannot accommodate a rainstorm that would turn Tianhai City into a sea of ​​​​sky on the ground.

Although it was designed for flood discharge, no one had expected such a powerful flood! The atmosphere at the scene was very solemn.

Alia was about to say something when she saw an acquaintance: "Huh? Why are you here instead of staying at home?"

Boss Huo waded through the mud, his rain boots stuck in the mud up to his calves, and his assistant had to help pull them out several times.

"Hahahaha - I'm just old, not useless. Why can't I come? I can swim better than you, believe it or not!"

"I believe it, of course I believe it...So what do you say here?"

"Your construction machinery arrived just in time. There is a small problem over at the spillway."

Boss Huo looked around, put his hands behind his back and found a sheltered place: "Come over and talk."
