Hamid said without hesitation: “Okay! I will follow my brother’s strategy!”
After speaking, he hurriedly asked: “My brother, what other suggestions and instructions do you have?”
Charlie said: “Besides all of that, it is necessary to purchase a large amount of food and medicine immediately and store it in a dry and safe environment. Right off, you must store a total of more than three years of rations!”
Hamid exclaimed: “Three years?! So many?! An adult eats at least two hundred kilograms of food a year, for two thousand people, it would be 400 tons, and it would be 1,200 tons for three years!
Charlie asked, “Then I ask you, how much is 1,200 tons of food?”
Hamid thought for a while, and said: “The current market price is about three hundred dollars per ton of wheat, and 1,200 tons. Including transportation costs, that is 400,000 dollars. The money is not much, but the point is this. How do I store so much grain? And the grain will not stay good if it is left for a long time.”
Charlie said helplessly: “Now it is time for you to engage in strategic reserves, not your normal food rations. Think about it, you first build a three-year food ration, then purchase food according to the actual consumption of the year. This way, you will always have an extra three-year ration on hand!”
