A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

"How is this possible? How could they have figured out all this chicken plague in just a few days?!" Li Hongyan said in disbelief. "There's simply no such technology or talent in China!"

The assistant said with difficulty, "I really didn't expect that either, but I read the relevant reports, and it seems that a certain expert in this field recently returned from abroad, and with his help, they quickly solved this problem."

"Is there really such a coincidence?!" Li Hongyan felt a chill run down his spine. No matter how carefully he thought things through, he never imagined that such luck could exist in China.

But before Li Hongyan could even react with shock, he suddenly realized something: "So pork prices are really going to drop?"

In that instant, he thought of the tons of pork he had stockpiled at Zhang Zhaoxing's food factory. If pork prices fell, Li Hongyan didn't even dare to imagine how much money he would lose.

His assistant's face fell: "The price of pork isn't just falling, it's not just decreasing; it's a Waterloo-like collapse!"

"Some people started selling pork last night, so why wait until now? In just this morning, pork prices have plummeted from their high levels."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongyan's eyes widened, his mind buzzing. He wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what was going on. He was so anxious that he couldn't even speak properly.

After stammering for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Hurry, hurry! The price shouldn't have fallen to our cost line yet, right? You need to hurry up and sell all our meat!"

The assistant didn't move upon hearing this, but looked at Li Hongyan and said bitterly, "President Li, the current price is already lower than our original purchase price. Are we going to sell it at a loss?"

As an assistant, he handled almost all the accounts and all the affairs, so he was very knowledgeable about the entire process of buying pork, including the prices.

He had been keeping an eye on the prices, so he naturally knew how much the two prices differed.

"What? Just one night? I remember our prices were already much higher than before a few days ago, how could they drop so much for just one night?!"

Li Hongyan couldn't believe it at all; her eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

No matter how hard he tried, he could never have imagined that in just one night, things would happen so far beyond his control. Not only did the price of pork drop, but it dropped so dramatically.

His assistant continued to explain, "Mr. Li, this matter is really beyond our imagination. The reason why the price has dropped so sharply is mainly because everyone is selling. You want to sell pork, and I want to sell pork too."

"So, in order to get rid of the pork they had, everyone started to lower the price in turn. You lowered it by one cent, I lowered it by five cents, you lowered it by five cents, I lowered it by ten cents. That's how the price was driven down."

"You have no idea what the situation is like outside. The whole street is full of pork vendors."

"I was using the toilet outside today, and the person to my left asked me if I wanted pork, and the person to my right also asked me if I wanted pork. So I asked about the price of pork, and they thought I wanted it."

"Two men cornered me in the toilet, and they were so eager to wipe my butt if I asked."

As the assistant spoke, goosebumps rose on his skin. Just imagining those two old men wiping his bottom... what a scene that would be...

After hearing this, Li Hongyan was completely stunned.

Feeling a bit nauseous and worried: "What about my pork?"

The office fell silent instantly.

The assistant had no idea what to do at that point.

The two of them looked at each other, neither of them able to come up with a solution.

Selling it would result in a significant loss.

If I don't sell, I don't know if I'll lose even more money in a few days.

At that moment, for some reason, Li Hongyan suddenly remembered the stock market theory.

Sometimes emotions can cause a downturn, but these emotions are often recoverable.

Therefore, he believes that pork prices may experience a small rebound after a period of time. He will sell the pork at that time, and even if he doesn't make a lot of money, he won't lose much.

"Let's wait a bit longer, there's no rush." ​​With this thought, Li Hongyan felt relieved and said calmly.

The assistant was taken aback. He didn't know why Li Hongyan had changed so quickly, but as an assistant, the most important thing he should do was to be obedient.

So he nodded and left.

In Shaocheng, Hu Wangfu stayed home doing his homework last night, trying to cultivate his image as a good child, and of course, he didn't touch the TV.

As for Hu Wangmei, Hu Xiawen, and the others, none of them have televisions, so what are they supposed to watch?

As a result, they received the information quite late. By the time they learned that the chicken plague problem had been resolved and that pork prices had begun to rise, it was already past 11 a.m. the next day.

Hu Wangfu was unaware at school that Hu Wangmei had secretly run away from work to play. While she was buying something at a small shop, the shop's television was playing a replay of yesterday's news.

Hu Wangmei didn't realize what was happening when she heard the news.

Because she had no idea what the resolution of the chicken plague had to do with pork.

It was an old man who came to buy soy sauce with a glass bottle that started the conversation.

The old man said that pork prices had finally dropped significantly today, and he hadn't eaten meat for over a week. He was determined to cook a bowl of braised pork today.

Hu Wangmei asked the old man in disbelief, "Grandpa, why has the price of pork dropped? Wasn't it going up every day lately?"

Seeing Hu Wangmei's simple and honest appearance, the old man explained it to her.

"What?!" Hu Wangmei exclaimed in surprise, almost scaring the old man into fainting.

She threw down two yuan, not even bothering to get change, and went straight to discuss it with Hu Xiawen and the others. But Hu Wangfu wasn't there, and the current price was already lower than what they had paid, so they couldn't make the decision themselves and could only wait for Hu Wangfu.

When Hu Wangfu returned home from school that evening, he learned about this.

The daylily buds were already a bit cold.

The price of pork has almost fallen back to its original level.

Moreover, since cold storage now requires rent, and pork no longer commands a premium, it's unlikely that people would have to pay rent instead. As a result, everyone is trying to sell the meat in their warehouses, leading to a severe oversupply, and nobody wants to buy pork anymore.

"What do we do now?" Hu Wangmei asked Hu Wangfu, feeling sweat beading on her back.

They were at a loss for what to do.

"What should we do? Go and find out if Li Hongyan is selling! If he is, we'll sell at a loss! If he isn't, we won't sell either!" Hu Wangfu immediately found a target for reference.
