Chapter 4162

Su Xinghui stabilizing the prices in Linshan City so quickly left many people stunned. Those who wanted to see him make a fool of himself were dumbfounded; they never expected Su Xinghui to have such strong capabilities, being able to mobilize such a large quantity of non-staple food so quickly under such harsh, extreme weather conditions.

As for those who had been worried about Su Xinghui, they were naturally overjoyed. The matter was resolved so quietly that it seemed as if the price hike had never happened in Linshan City. This is what they call "those who are good at fighting have no illustrious achievements."

No one knew that the Huimin Group had paid a high price behind the scenes. To organize this batch of non-staple food, Yu Gaoshan had mobilized products from several of his agricultural production bases in the south and had also purchased a large quantity of goods.

Many of these products from the Huimin Group were high-end, green, pollution-free agricultural products. If they had been shipped to large southern cities for sale, they could have earned a considerable profit. But to stabilize the prices in Linshan, they were all shipped to Linshan and sold at flat prices.

Although the Huimin Group didn't end up losing money, they earned at least tens of millions, if not over a hundred million, less in profit. Most people wouldn't do such a money-losing business.

Besides the Huimin Group, Su Xinghui's other friends also helped him a lot. They also organized some non-staple food to be put into the Linshan market, which also made a relatively large contribution to stabilizing the prices.

In short, the phenomenon of skyrocketing prices in Linshan City was quickly curbed, which meant the people of Linshan City didn't feel any panic at all. Although the snow disaster was still severe, it basically didn't have much impact on the lives of Linshan citizens.

After creating a small ripple in Linshan City, the snow disaster quickly returned to calm.

Linshan City returned to calm, but in several other cities in Yanbei Province, things were not so calm.

This snow disaster didn't just happen in Linshan City; several cities in Yanbei Province were hit. The cities in the northern part of Yanbei Province were at a similar latitude to Linshan, and the climate was also similar. Since Linshan City had a blizzard, they naturally couldn't be spared. Almost at the same time, they also had several days of blizzards and all suffered from the snow disaster.

Compared to Linshan, these cities already had a considerable gap in terms of economy, and this snow disaster further exposed the considerable gap they had with Linshan City in other areas, such as the cadres' working ability and execution.

After a few hours of blizzard, Linshan City issued an orange blizzard warning to the whole city and activated an emergency mechanism. Leaders at all levels had also gone to the grassroots level and made clear and effective deployments on how to resist the snow disaster, ensuring that not a single death accident caused by the snow disaster occurred in the whole city, and prices remained stable.

However, apart from Linshan, the other cities hit by the snow disaster all had accidents involving deaths. Tanghe City even had a major casualty accident caused by accumulated snow collapsing a classroom, resulting in five student deaths and over a dozen students injured to varying degrees. This accident shocked the whole province.

Provincial Party Secretary Fang Zhonglin personally rushed to Tanghe City, inspected the accident site, and expressed condolences to the families of the injured and deceased students. He severely reprimanded the relevant leaders of Tanghe City and ordered them to handle the aftermath well and ensure that no similar accidents would happen again. If similar accidents happened again, they would be severely punished.

Besides Fang Zhonglin, many other leaders in Yanbei Province also rushed to the cities hit by the snow disaster to inspect and guide their disaster relief work. Fighting the snow disaster had become one of the main tasks in Yanbei Province this winter.

After finishing his inspection in Tanghe City, Fang Zhonglin stopped by Linshan City. Tanghe City and Linshan City were adjacent, so it didn't take long for him to reach Linshan. He also wanted to see how Linshan City had performed, given that they had also suffered from the snow disaster. Linshan City only reported some injured personnel, and not a single death accident had occurred, which made Fang Zhonglin very curious.

How on earth did Su Xinghui manage that?

Since Fang Zhonglin became the Provincial Party Secretary, he had visited Linshan City several times. However, the city leaders of Linshan still attached great importance to it. After all, Fang Zhonglin was the Yanbei Provincial Party Secretary, the top leader of Yanbei Province, a high-ranking official holding the power of Yanbei Province. His visit to Linshan for inspection was naturally a big event.

Therefore, on the morning of Fang Zhonglin's arrival in Linshan, the Linshan Municipal Party Secretary Qian Jianan, Mayor Su Xinghui, and other city leaders were waiting at the intersection leading into Linshan City for Fang Zhonglin's motorcade to arrive.
