Chapter 462 A Press Conference with a Different Style

"Holy crap, no way! The Crown Prince actually started buying up winter supplies a month in advance? Did he already know about the snow disaster this year?! Is he trying to profit from this national crisis?! That's outrageous!"

"I'm shocked! 1500 billion in one go! That's incredible! Chen Yu has only been in the business for less than two years and he already has this much wealth. He's even richer than Shen Wansan!"

"666, my Crown Prince is a prodigy! But why is the Crown Prince buying up all this winter supplies? Is he trying to profit from the national crisis?! If so, I will definitely go from being a fan to a hater. This kind of person has no bottom line and should be banned!"

However, it's impossible to profit from a national crisis, since the country wouldn't allow it, especially given that this happened at an official press conference.

"That's strange. Why is the Crown Prince buying so much winter supplies?! Is he trying to make a fortune off this?! If that's the case, he's really heartless! We're all Chinese, how can we be so shameless?!"

Countless people began to be puzzled and started to have wild speculations.

"I believe everyone's thoughts are the same as mine at the beginning: is Chen Yu trying to profit from this national crisis?"

I would like to add that the National Meteorological Administration had no information whatsoever about this year's snow disaster, let alone any prediction of it.

Therefore, it prevented people from knowing this data in advance from within the meteorological bureau and then making plans to profit from it.

Of course, many people may question where Chen Yu got so much money! They want to investigate Chen Yu's finances!

I can assure you that all the money in Chen Yu's account is legal, but it's not as much as you might imagine. The money in Chen Yu's account comes from his earnings in the entertainment industry, such as songs, the now-famous "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf," and other works. All of this money combined isn't much. So where did his 1500 billion come from?! This involves the personal privacy of the person involved, so I can't explain it further here.

However, one thing can be guaranteed: this money is not illegal, at least not against the laws of our country.

To be precise, this money is backed by the support of these CEOs around me.” At this point, everyone understood; it turned out that this money came from these top global corporations.

At the same time, people are very curious about the financial strength of the three companies. No one doubts that the three companies can come up with 1500 billion, because it is too easy for the three companies.

“I called Chen Yu and asked him why he acquired so many winter supplies all at once. He told me that when he and his team were doing research again, they unexpectedly discovered something: climate change this year would lead to snow disasters at the beginning of the year.”

However, Chen Yu was unable to provide sufficient evidence or prove whether it would happen 100%.

His data conclusions are only 80% accurate.

This was based on his complete trust in himself. Considering that he lacked sufficient evidence to prove the matter to the country, he could only remain silent. However, he was unwilling to see so many compatriots suffer in this snow disaster, so he decided to use his own money to make some preparations in advance and do something for his compatriots. Considering the transportation problems caused by the snow disaster, he built various warehouses in the cities in the most severely affected areas according to his calculations, storing a lot of winter supplies. His only purpose was that if a major snow disaster really occurred, his compatriots could buy winter supplies as soon as possible.

If there hadn't been a major snowstorm, then the losses caused by these materials could be considered a peace of mind bought with money. Once again, on behalf of the nation, I want to solemnly thank Chen Yu.” As he spoke, he even stood up and bowed to Chen Yu and the others.

At this moment, the entire nation fell silent. To spend 1500 billion yuan to buy a false sense of peace—is there anyone more respectable or more lovable than this?!

"I believe that coming up with so much money must have been a considerable burden for Chen Yu himself. And everyone knows the relationship between Chen Yu and his companies. It really took a lot of determination for him to convince these people to come up with so much money to do this kind of thing. After all, they are a company that needs to support many people and consider the livelihoods of thousands of employees."

Moreover, Chen Yu sells these materials almost at cost price. In other words, even if a major snow disaster occurs, Chen Yu is destined to lose money. For a merchant like Zhuge Yun, this is a very unprofitable deal. Everyone knows that merchants don't get up early for nothing and don't do business at a loss.

But today, they did it for their compatriots, so let's give them a thumbs up.” The old man’s words were met with applause.

"I believe everyone is more curious as to why the heads of Uniqlo and Heilan Home, two Chinese apparel brands, were present at the event. The reason is simple."

"That means, in addition to the previous 150 billion, Zhonghua Apparel has customized down jackets and down comforters worth over 50 billion, all of which are of the highest quality. Each garment costs around 400 yuan and can keep a person warm in temperatures as low as minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius," the old man said, his words never failing to shock.

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Zhonghua Apparel had quietly placed an order for 500 billion yuan worth of down jackets. If they couldn't sell them, wouldn't they go bankrupt?

Everyone realized just how big a gamble Chen Yu had taken this time.

It’s just that!

Another round of applause followed.

"Okay, based on the data provided by the Meteorological Bureau and Chen Yu, the results of calculations regarding this widespread rain and snow event should be attributed to abnormal atmospheric circulation related to the La Niña (anti-El Niño) phenomenon: the long-term meridional distribution of the circulation since January has led to frequent cold air activity, while the subtropical high pressure is stronger and the southern branch trough is more active. Warm and humid air from the south and cold air from the north converge in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, forming heavy precipitation. The stability of the atmospheric circulation has allowed the rain and snow to continue, ultimately leading to this snow disaster."

Here I need to remind everyone that the persistent low temperatures in South China are closely related to the La Niña phenomenon and abnormal atmospheric circulation. This has created a blocking high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere over the mid-to-high latitude Eurasia region, which has persisted for a long time. The polar vortex has remained stationary in Siberia, leading to a continuous intrusion of cold air from the north into China.

As cold air arrived, warm and humid air from the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean was continuously transported to South China. The convergence of cold and warm air currents in the southwest, Jianghan Plain, South China, Jiangnan region, and Jianghuai region resulted in an unusually long period of widespread low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing weather.

Of course, the rare ice and snow disaster in China was caused by a variety of factors, and La Niña was not the only cause.

However, a very important reason is that the duration of his illness is still uncertain.

It is certain that this severe snowstorm will continue for some time. This is the main reason we are holding this press conference today.
