"What a spendthrift! What a spendthrift!" Old Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Secretary Wang joked, "Mr. Lin, this is a bounty of tens of billions. Are we really going to just watch this money fall into someone else's pocket?"
"Of course I... am reluctant." He had to admit that he was tempted by such a large sum of money. The mainland was really too poor. If they could secure this investment, they could support at least a dozen factories.
Old Lin thought for a moment, then beckoned to Secretary Wang, "Have those factories under Cheung Kong Holdings get ready."
"We absolutely must secure this deal with Longteng."
Old Lin's eyes were firm, and he seemed to hear the clattering of countless coins in a money counting machine.
"You said Chen Dong is going to purchase supplies to help the mainland get through this major flood disaster. Is he really sincere?" Old Lin asked.
Secretary Wang chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I think that regardless of whether he's sincere or not, Chen Dong would never do a business that loses money."
"Although it is still in the assessment stage whether a major flood will occur, he has the supplies in his hands. If the flood does not occur, he can resell these supplies without losing money."
"Besides, although the Nenjiang and Songhua Rivers are still within the normal range during the flood season, the Yangtze River basin has experienced a whole quarter of heavy rains."
Secretary Wang pushed the data files at hand over to Elder Lin, reminding him, "From the end of last year to January and early February this year, there was widespread rainfall in the southern region, and the flood season of the Yangtze River broke the upper limit several times."
"I think that the massive flood that Mr. Chen mentioned might actually happen."
"Hmph." Old Man Lin snorted. Secretary Wang was right about one thing: Chen Dong always left himself a way out, no matter what he did. Even if the flood didn't break out this time, he had plenty of ways to make sure he didn't lose out.
The entire Yangtze River basin is the most economically developed region, but also the most severely affected by disasters. This area relies on the Yangtze River and its tributaries for drinking water and irrigation. People living along the main stream and tributaries of the Yangtze River are distributed along the main stream and tributaries, and their production activities also depend on the river.
