Moreover, the water resources and meteorological departments in mainland China have also taken steps to prepare for flood control work in the Yangtze River basin.
By March, when the new research report comes out, the authorities will definitely mandate the relocation of residents from low-lying areas in the Yangtze River basin.
When the meat supply in the mainland is insufficient, the region will face a major crisis of relocation, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the Yangtze River basin.
Therefore, they must ensure the supply of meat and stabilize meat prices at this crucial time in March to prevent panic among the public.
"Officially delivered on March 1st," Chen Dong replied.
“According to my contract with New Parkway Farm, it should be between March and April.” Lin Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, we were able to make it in time.”
Chen Dong casually put down the contract.
After typing a few words on the computer, the introduction of New Baihui Farm quickly appeared.
This farm entered the Chinese market last year and has already achieved a transaction volume of $300 million. Among its regular customers in China is Cheung Kong Holdings, and it also collaborates with major catering companies in mainland China.
As Chen Dong looked around, he gradually realized that New Parkway Company's business in the United States was not doing very well.
Why did business suddenly pick up in China?
Lin Zhiyuan seemed to suddenly remember something and explained, "I was wondering the same thing before. This farm offers a fairly good price to local sales channels in the United States, but the price overseas is much lower."
"When I first approached them for cooperation, I was also wondering why they could offer us such great discounts. But later I found out that Cheung Kong Holdings and other major catering companies in mainland China had similar prices to what we got."
"This farm is definitely not simple." Chen Dong sensed danger instinctively.
"Go check what other businesses New Parkway Farm owns."
Farms in the United States are mainly operated as companies and generally do not focus on a single type of meat or vegetable. Typical farms also produce cotton, livestock, dairy products, and even some processed products.
Because farms possess abundant raw material resources, they have a natural advantage in engaging in related processing industries.
"Found it." Two hours later, Lin Zhiyuan came in from outside, panting. "Xinbaihui Farm also has an outdoor sports equipment company called UFO."
Even if a farm were to operate other types of businesses, it would only operate in the primary processing industry, not in mature industrial products like outdoor sports equipment.
Chen Dong's suspicions about the farm deepened.
“Contact other farms immediately.” Chen Dong looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said firmly, “There’s a problem with this New Baihui Farm. They definitely won’t be able to deliver the beef and lamb we ordered by March 1st.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan immediately asked curiously, "What is your basis for this?"
“Something is definitely amiss.” Chen Dong said with his head down. “Don’t forget, the Freemason threat hasn’t been eliminated yet. When I disappeared, Memphis was devouring our Longteng’s assets all over the world.”
"It's obvious they haven't let us go."
Lin Zhiyuan hesitated, after all, the price offered by New Parkway Farm was really too favorable, "What if it has nothing to do with Freemasonry?"
Chen Dong smiled and said, "It's best if it doesn't matter, but we should always leave ourselves a way out. Having multiple options will prevent us from being too embarrassed if something unexpected happens."
"you're right."
Lin Zhiyuan rushed out of the office and went to search the farm.
On February 17th, the expert team sent by Professor Lin completed their investigation in the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River, and Songhua River area. Zhou Guangjie, director of the Water Resources Bureau, and Professor Li Mingfei, a meteorological expert, received the survey data from Professor Lin's expert group. None of them had a good expression on their faces.
They came to the capital with the final survey data, with only one purpose: to make the survey results public.
“We previously only considered the changes in precipitation and river levels in the entire Yangtze River basin in the south, but we didn’t pay attention to the climate changes in the Nenjiang and Songhua River areas in the north.” Zhou Guangjie held a file bag in his hand, looking worried.
"The rainfall model we developed back then didn't have complete data, which is why we concluded that there wouldn't be any floods."
Upon hearing this, Professor Li Mingfei was already on the verge of speaking, but out of respect for Zhou Guangjie, he silently swallowed what he wanted to say.
In fact, the expert group they formed earlier was mainly composed of people from the Water Resources Bureau, and the people from the Water Resources Bureau have always relied too much on data from reservoirs and dams, which is why they made such a big mistake before.
Li Mingfei repeatedly advised Zhou Guangjie to be rigorous in building the model, but Zhou Guangjie interfered with their data analysis process time and again in order to achieve a certain goal.
“Director Zhou, ever since I joined the flood assessment team formed by Elder Lin, I have been working diligently, afraid of making any mistakes when analyzing the data.”
His words carried a warning tone: "If our conclusions deviate from the actual results, then the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River, Songhua River, and the entire basin will be in the hands of God."
"Professor Li, I may not know the situation of the Nenjiang and Songhua Rivers, but there are hundreds of large and small dikes in the Yangtze River basin. In recent years, many reservoirs have been built along the river to improve the water supply for residents."
