Please make money.

And this is not just an ordinary amount. According to this purchasing quantity, the goods purchased by Aili in two days would be enough for more than 30 chain supermarkets to splurge for a month.
What does it mean to count by carload? If it is bottled water or purified water, one carload is a full 6,000 pieces, and Alia asked for ten carloads.
In addition, there were huge amounts of rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., and even 1,500 water pumps that were purchased separately for emergency purposes.
What the hell are you doing with 1,500 pumps? Are you going to be the Dragon King?
But it must be said that the Ai Group really has it - the mechanical and chemical department has it itself. Not to mention pumps, even the engineering machinery is produced by itself.
If domestic companies such as XCMG and Sany Heavy Industry are the first-tier players in engineering machinery, then the mechanical and chemical industry department of the Ai Group should be the second-tier.
It’s just that many of their equipment serve their own manufacturing companies. Among the mechanical and chemical companies on the market with an output value of nearly 10 billion yuan, the Ai Group is one of the most low-key ones.
So compared to this bizarre request for 1,500 pumps, Mr. Sun is more concerned about Alia's attitude as if she is facing the end of the world.
"Call the suppliers here and take whatever inventory they have - now."
Alia threw a peanut into her mouth, her expression not looking very good: "This typhoon is very wrong, very wrong, Tianhai City is going to be in trouble."
"A flood?"
"Almost. Didn't the weather forecast give several red rainstorm warnings in a row?"
"No, Miss, it's like this every typhoon season, it's pretty much the same."
"It's different, but I can't convince anyone - so I can only do what I can."
Now Alia knows the benefits of having money. She wants to transport supplies in advance to make emergency preparations. Having money is really a big deal.
When she rode her bike here in the rain, she mentioned this to An Lele.
An Lele asked Ailia in surprise, if she was so worried, why didn't she spend money to prepare the goods and fill the supermarket directly, since they were all things that would be sold later anyway.
As for the losses caused by hoarding goods, for Alia now, it’s just a few dollars.
So Alia waved her hand and simply added the required materials, and finally there was a situation where the measurement was done in carloads.
She even purchased more than 10,000 emergency flashlights that came with separate batteries. The batteries in these flashlights are enough to be used as desk lamps for dozens of hours.
But this is Tianhai City! In Tianhai City, the number of power outages over the years can be counted on one's fingers. Is this thing intended to be used when there is a power outage throughout the city?
There are also other quick-drying clothes, raincoats and rain boots, bedding and medicines, a long list of miscellaneous things.
Mr. Sun scratched his head and said, "This matter... Well, I have to ask about this matter. I'll ask them first. Is it really so urgent?"
"48 hours, no more, no less."
Mr. Sun was helpless. Sometimes it seemed not good for the eldest daughter to be too willful.
However, this kind of paranoia is the first time I have seen it. Even if the supermarket is fully stocked, can she eat it all by herself?
As for what to sell...
Mr. Sun calculated that this amount of stock, covering the current supermarket chains, could probably supply a community of nearly one million people.
A large supermarket of the size of Aililai is enough to meet the needs of a densely populated community of 30 to 50,000 people nearby, but of course it cannot last too long.
Mr. Sun took a long list and went out to discuss it with the store manager and others. A moment later, the store manager returned to the office with a group of people.
As soon as we entered the store, the store manager expressed his concern about the shortage of staff: "Miss, is this necessary? We may not be able to load and unload all the goods into the warehouse even if we work overtime these days. We have to hire additional workers."
"Yes." Alia rubbed her face. "I had a dream last night. My parents told me that this rain will be the heaviest in recorded history."
"..." The store manager opened her mouth. This punch integrated the power of a hundred thousand year soul ring, and it was two superimposed power levels. She didn't know how to receive it for a moment.
Finally, her face turned red and she managed to say something to comfort him: "Miss, you...you must accept my condolences..."
"It's okay, just think of it as me being willful for once." Alia stood up and said, "I'll pay you five times the overtime pay you deserve. Please work harder, everyone!"
All these groundless worries actually happened in real life, and the person involved is my boss!
Oh, my boss just gave me a bonus, and the overtime pay is five times the normal rate, so that's fine...
After a long moment, everyone fell into an atmosphere that was ten times busier than before, and the Aili supermarket chain also went from reorganizing and reopening to frantically receiving goods.
The heavy rain was still falling. An Lele ran around and checked the environment on the commercial street and came to a not very optimistic conclusion.
"The terrain is not good. Tianhai City itself is a plain tidal river network area. The terrain is too flat. Even the commercial street is concave. If we go another ten kilometers, we will reach the tidal flats on the shore. There is no way to do this!"
"Sandbags, waterproof baffles, assault boats, prepare everything that needs to be prepared."
"No, Miss, are we running a supermarket or doing disaster relief? Besides, there is no disaster here!"
"Do you believe my feelings?"
"…It's not that I don't believe it. Theoretically, if you can sense a disaster of this magnitude, then you must be a congenital master who has achieved unity between man and nature, or a superpower or an alien. Do you think this is possible?"
"Is it possible that I am really a congenital master, the kind that is one with nature, and at the same time an alien with super powers?"
"Tsk—alright, as long as you're happy."
An Lele took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth without arguing with Alia.
After all, if what Alia said was true, then the other party should not be here, but should go save the world and be a Supoman.
Rather than saying that Alia is a congenital master, it is more believable to say that Jiang Tianyi, who was snooping around Tianyi Square before, is a tsundere who has a crush on Alia.
But the same thing goes, the Ai Group belongs to Alia. She can do whatever she wants and spend her own money, and no one can say anything against it.
Alia thought about it and made two phone calls.
The first call was made to Boss Huo, expressing concern about the impending disaster in Tianhai City.
Boss Huo did not mean to laugh at Alia's unfounded worries, and said that he was also a little worried. The rain was a little too heavy and the typhoon was too strong.
The other party was born into a Tanka family and made a living on the sea. His father and brother both died in a typhoon. In addition, he had many years of shipping experience and had a keen sixth sense.
Alia discussed with the other party for a while, and the latter said that he would also make some preparations and hoped to do his best when the official needed it.
"Xiao Ai, you are right to have this concern, but we also have to trust the judgment of professionals. The Meteorological Bureau has been watching all the time, so don't be too anxious. Moreover, let alone a big city like Tianhai City, even if it is a small city, once something happens, the authorities will not sit idly by."
Of course, Alia believed that the government would provide assistance, but there is a saying that even a good cook cannot cook without rice, so it is always a good idea to prepare the rice in advance.
It was a pleasant chat with Boss Huo. At the end, he even emphasized the importance of Alia joining the Chamber of Commerce to win over friends, but Alia glossed over it with a "hmm".
Then she paused with her phone and started making the second call.
"Hello? Uncle San? I want to ask you something - if I want to transfer the engineering machinery from the Mechanical and Chemical Industry Department to Tianhai, how much can I transfer back within 48 hours... Yes, all the movable ones!"
244-Prepare a perfect leave application
Outside the window, the raindrops are dripping - no, it's pattering -
Who doesn’t have a side job?
Alia hummed a song, then picked up seven bottles of pure water and walked towards the warehouse.
An Lele panted: "Should we develop... huh... a powered exoskeleton?"
"That makes sense. When will you place an order with Uncle San?"
Alia was neither blushing nor breathing heavily, like a ruthless unloading robot. The entire warehouse was brightly lit and the employees were running back and forth like ants.
Just as Third Uncle arrived, a Maybach drove into the warehouse area when Alia was busy unloading the goods.
An Lele looked at her watch and said, "Miss, it's time to change shifts!"
"Oh, okay, I'll move this over and come back..."
Seeing that there was no one around, Alia quietly picked up a very heavy cargo box, but she didn't know that everything she did was being watched by the surveillance camera with a flashing red light.
A moment later, she walked out while taking off her employee vest and got into her uncle's Maybach.
An Lele also got in, but he and the driver were glaring at each other in the passenger seat.
"Hey, Uncle San, long time no see."
Alia greeted him and started looking through the Maybach's small refrigerator: "I want some water... I'm thirsty."
Ai Rulin was still wearing clothes for the construction site, and there was even a safety helmet at his feet. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.
"What's going on?" He frowned and looked at Alia: "I have transferred the construction machinery back, but I need an explanation."
As the chairman, Alia has the power to make her uncle do things, even if he has built the mechanical and chemical department like an iron barrel.
However, as long as the mechanical and chemical industry sector cannot break away from the blood transfusion of the Ai Group and complete its own hematopoietic regeneration and profit cycle, it will be restricted.
Previously, as the chairman of the board, Alia had transferred back most of the self-propelled engineering machinery of Liya Heavy Industry under the Ai Group. For this reason, Ai Rulin even had to negotiate with the railway and added several freight trains overnight. It took him almost a day and a night to get these things done.
Now, one day and two nights have passed since Alia's previous request for replenishment, mobilization of machinery, and emergency material reserves.
What she called forty-eight hours was only one night short, but tomorrow - what would happen tomorrow?
Of course the heavy rain is still falling, it has been going on for nearly a week, but the question is, hasn’t it been like this in every year when a typhoon hit Tianhai City?
The heaviest rain that Tianhai City had ever experienced in Ai Rulin's memory was the one that occurred after his second brother and sister-in-law disappeared.
There were even rumors that the plane crash was related to that typhoon - the rain lasted for almost a month, but it only caused flooding.
"Uncle San, have you eaten?"
"……No."
"I don't have any either, so let's find a place to eat and talk."
Alia only found noble champagne and red wine in the small refrigerator. Damn, what kind of taste is this?
Are these things safe to drink on a daily basis? Shouldn't we have energy drinks or happy water?
Uncle San rubbed his forehead and told the driver to park the car in the parking area. They could go to the supermarket for meals. It seemed that the supermarkets were open all night these days.
It's not just the supermarkets, the entire Ai Group's logistics department is working overtime, and there is a subtle sense of dislocation.
The young lady who used to prevent everyone from working overtime has died in a fight with a space monster!
The new young lady is fake. She actually asked everyone to work night shifts, and the task of the night shift is... um, unloading?
Including unloading and various disaster prevention measures, no one works during the day, and emergency training on first aid knowledge and emergency evacuation procedures is provided.
The urban legend has spread throughout the entire headquarters campus. The eldest daughter has fallen ill, and she seems to have dreamed that her parents told her about a natural disaster.
As we all know, Alia's parents disappeared because the plane deviated from its route, and she became Bruce Wayne on the spot.
This kind of psychological trauma cannot be soothed with a few words. Even the most unscrupulous beast cannot withstand a single punch.
It was also a typhoon season, so although the employees had some complaints, they were all tolerant and understanding and accompanied the young lady through her few outbursts.
Isn't it just an emergency drill? We have to play house every year. Come on, come on. As long as the young lady can rest assured, the overtime pay will be five times the amount.
But that was what the employees thought. Ai Rulin couldn't and wouldn't think that way. He had to confirm whether Alia's mental state was normal or not.
Fortunately, now Alia seems to be fine except that she is a little busy. Uncle San looked at her face and breathed a sigh of relief.
Your uncle is very happy that you are exercising the power of the chairman, but he is a little unhappy that you are exercising the power just for fun.
After parking the Maybach, the group walked through the basement and went upstairs. Uncle San looked at the completely converted supermarket underground garage in confusion, feeling very puzzled.
"Is this for—flood control?"
"To be precise, it's flood prevention. There won't be any floods. The river network in Tianhai is not yet at the point of causing floods."
“Will urban flooding be this serious?”
"...I think it's more than that. Wasn't there a warning before?"
Uncle San was in a daze when he heard this, and took out his cell phone to check the text messages - he had received six or seven heavy rain warnings today.
But this kind of thing, just like advertising news, has never been noticed.
"At first, no one cared about the disaster. It was just a rainstorm, a flood, the extinction of a species... well, it didn't get to that point."
Alia is still optimistic: "I just need to make a small contribution, which is much better than before!"
What kind of disasters did she face before she traveled through time?
Those terrible things require the mobilization of the entire civilization to save itself. In comparison, this busyness is purely a small contribution to society.
When you think about it this way, it really is a peaceful and prosperous country with peace and prosperity, which makes you feel at ease.
Uncle San put away his phone and thought that it would be a good idea to go to the hospital to see how scared the child was.
I hadn't seen her during the typhoon season before - Uncle San paused, thinking of Alia who was not "valued" at the beginning, and felt a little guilty.
Yes... In the past typhoon season, it wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid, but that no one noticed her fear.
The little girl at that time would also worry that the rain would flood Tianhai City and turn Tianhai into a real sea, and she would also miss her missing parents.
