After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu looked at Sheng Huaiqiang and said, "Old Sheng, your intelligence department should hurry up and find out where there are large quantities of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, as well as building materials, especially steel and lightweight bricks."
Sheng Huaiqiang recalled the cotton-padded clothes and quilts he had taken from the prison and quickly said, "Chief, do you remember that prison? There were quite a few cotton-padded clothes and quilts in that big warehouse. We only took a small portion of them at the time. I estimate that there are at least several thousand quilts and tens of thousands of sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers left."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten about this!
That prison held several thousand prisoners, and such supplies were plentiful.
Not only that prison, but also many villages and towns that were previously recaptured, a lot of supplies were not taken away.
You can bring them all now!
Those supplies should be enough to keep tens of thousands of people warm.
But how do we get these things into the hands of the survivors?
Giving it away for free is definitely not an option.
I'm neither a fool nor a saint.
Suddenly, Jiang Wu had a flash of inspiration and remembered the idea of opening a market for Xiaoyu.
Let's use these winter supplies as commodities and have them exchange them for other things!
For the poor who have nothing to exchange, let them owe you money and work for Huaxi Valley to pay off their debts!
As for the specifics of how to do it, Bai Feiming is a professional.
With that in mind, Jiang Wu shared his thoughts with several senior executives.
Immediately, all the senior executives looked intently at Jiang Wu.
It's like watching a deity.
Jiang Wu was bewildered and asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
Li Zecheng exclaimed, "Chief, you are truly brilliant! And genuinely compassionate! Through your actions, simple winter supplies not only saved many lives and yielded a large amount of resources and labor, but also made the majority of the poor people in the shantytowns at our base deeply grateful to us."
"Most importantly, a stable market under our control will flourish. This is a calculated move, and those with ulterior motives can only watch helplessly. Unless, of course, they have more winter supplies and strike first!"
Wu Ming laughed and said, "I don't think they have that kind of strength. After arriving at the base, I carefully learned about their past. The new humans and the high-ranking officials have no shortage of resources and are all enjoying themselves at the base. The search teams that go out are all ordinary people. Without a strong leader, they are just a disorganized bunch."
Li Zecheng nodded and smiled, "Judging from the current situation of Donghu Base, as long as the broadcast continues, it may become a giant base with 100,000 survivors in less than two months. With a stable market, we will firmly grasp the lifeline of the base and subdue the enemy without fighting!"
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "Minister Li, the establishment of the market is indeed of paramount importance. Your staff should select a site as soon as possible. I will have Wen Yao help you. In addition, you need to calculate the transaction ratio. One thing to note is that we are not using this to drain the life-saving food supplies of the poor in those shantytowns."
Li Zecheng replied earnestly, "Understood!"
Jiang Wu pretended to look at the documents in his hand, with a mysterious expression on his face.
In fact, Jiang Wu felt a little embarrassed.
He had only casually mentioned an idea, so why did Li Zecheng, a graduate of Peking University, praise him to the skies?
And opening a market? I just wanted to fulfill a wish of Xiaoyu, so why is the market so important?
I was only thinking of 1, 2, 3, but they had already thought of 99 and 100.
And then they even praised themselves?
This feeling is so strange.
Bai Feiming looked at Jiang Wu, her eyes glistening with tears, and asked, "Brother Wu, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Jiang Wu cleared his throat twice and said slowly, "I plan to take Gan Wei to visit her uncle Wu Tianming tomorrow. Wu Tianming was the former head of the military at Donghu Base, and I think he should have a lot of inside information about the military. Be careful and avoid any conflict with the military for now."
Li Zecheng pushed up his glasses, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said admiringly, "Chief, I understand your thinking! Judging from what the military did today, they are not against us. Your approach to the former military leader through family ties is both reasonable and unlikely to arouse suspicion from others. If successful, we can not only find more information on arms, but also improve our relationship with the military!"
Wu Ming said earnestly, "As the former person in charge, Wu Tianming still wields considerable influence within the military, even after stepping down! And the military, as the founder of this base and the dominant force, still holds a transcendent position within the entire base, even if it's cornered by other powers! We don't need to form an alliance with the military; as long as we maintain private contact, combined with access to winter supplies and the market, we'll be morally invincible!"
Li Zecheng smiled and said, "That's right, our General Staff will carefully consider the appropriate measure."
Then, Li Zecheng looked at Jiang Wu and said admiringly, "Chief, your series of strategies today have truly broadened my horizons. I really admire you!"
Jiang Wu picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and revealed a profound and inscrutable smile.
I couldn't help but think to myself: Damn, this is truly eye-opening. I really admire your wild imaginations!
Why is it that when I casually mention something, they always seem to find something different about it?
"Alright, I'm leaving now. You all should get some rest too," Jiang Wu said casually.
He then picked up his teacup, took Bai Feiming's hand, and walked outside.
Even after walking a distance, I could still hear Sheng Huaiqiang's voice coming from the conference room: "It is truly my blessing to be able to follow such a leader who is as wise as Zhuge Liang, invincible in martial arts, and yet compassionate."
Immediately afterwards, Li Zecheng's voice was heard.
“I have a feeling that the leader will eventually become a savior of mankind, and we will follow him and be remembered in history.”
Jiang Wu was stunned.
Myself, the savior?
You must be joking.
He glanced at Bai Feiming subconsciously.
She was tilting her head slightly, her watery eyes gazing at him with deep affection.
The love flowing in those eyes made Jiang Wu's heart flutter.
If I remember correctly, Bai Feiming's period just ended.
No need to wear a protective umbrella anymore!
In an instant, Jiang Wu forgot all about the savior.
He grabbed Bai Feiming in his arms, transformed into a black shadow, and ran towards the small villa he had chosen.
Inside the villa, Su Ziyu was browsing through books about the market, while Nangong Wenyao was knitting a black scarf.
Hearing the door suddenly open, a dark figure flashed by, and the two women exchanged a smile.
Afterwards, the two put down what they were carrying and went to the locker room.
Su Ziyu changed into white stockings and a JK uniform, while Nangong Wenyao changed into a flight attendant uniform.
Then he went upstairs.
Who told Brother Wu to recently take a liking to role-playing?
Halfway down the stairs, the two saw Bai Feiming dressed in yoga clothes at the second-floor stairwell.
She leaned forward, her upper body hunched, her hands gripping the stair railing, her teeth clenched, and her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at the two of them.
The usually elegant and poised Fei Ming was now like a small boat helplessly adrift in a storm.
Go with the flow.
