Chen Dong smiled and explained to Guo Bingxiang, "This 10 million is not for Longteng, but for the compensation and resettlement of the relocated residents of Huaxia."
Guo Bingxiang then realized that Chen Dong wanted to tell him to donate the $10 million to China.
“A massive flood is coming. Although the people have moved, the compensation they have received has not yet been paid, and they are now facing great difficulties living in the resettlement area.”
Chen Dong said, "This $10 million can give them confidence, serve as compensation for their relocation, and also contribute to post-disaster reconstruction."
Guo Bingxiang was deeply moved upon hearing this, and said, "No problem, I will donate the $10 million."
"In addition, I will persuade the other members of the four major families to donate together."
Before making the call to Chen Dong, Guo Bingxiang was unaware of the severity of the floods in mainland China. However, based on Chen Dong's account, the residents had all been relocated, which must have been a major natural disaster.
So Guo Bingxiang agreed to Chen Dong's aid terms without hesitation. However, he still played a trick at the end, saying, "Ten million US dollars for a chicken. I will transfer the money to your company's account soon, but you have to keep that chicken for me, or I will sue you for breach of contract."
"I understand." Chen Dong was amused by him.
Since the delayed delivery of the New Baihui Farm, Chen Dong has been paying even closer attention to the farm, including having people keep an eye on its subsidiaries.
In April, after a month of delays, New Baihui Farm successfully delivered all the beef and lamb ordered by Longteng.
At this time, the chicken, duck, and suckling pig in the farm had all been sold out, and these beef and mutton were just enough to fill the gap.
Chen Dong gradually became aware of the movements of overseas factories. According to official reports, there was a significant increase in the export of outdoor products and tourism equipment from overseas to the mainland. Some of these exports were in cooperation with the government, while others were part of the companies' business strategies.
"Boss." Afang knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
Afang was holding a document in her hand. She handed it directly to Chen Dong as soon as she came in. "I found out that UFO Company once underwent a change of legal representative. The former legal representative of the company was Lucy."
"Lucy?" Chen Dong had a bad feeling, but he still asked Afang again to confirm, "You mean Lucy, the legal representative of Dailus Company who used to work for the Freemasons?"
"It's him."
If she was the former legal representative of this company, then the recent actions of New Baihui Farm and its subsidiary outdoor sports equipment company UFO can be fully explained.
“This farm is completely controlled by the Freemasons.” Chen Dong said this with a sense of despair. He really wanted to get revenge on the Freemasons, but the more he learned about the organization, the more he realized how powerful the Freemasons were.
After New Baihui Farm requested a delay in delivery, several other large farms that Lin Zhiyuan had contacted also requested delays. This shows that the major farms in the United States were communicating with each other, and this request for a delay in delivery was clearly aimed at Longteng.
"I really don't understand, can't we just do business properly? Why do they always have to do this?" Chen Dong angrily tore the document in half.
Afang knew nothing about Freemasonry; she only noticed Chen Dong's anger and cautiously asked, "What happened? Was the farm's refusal to deliver goods intentional?"
Chen Dong shook his head and explained helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just that I had some past issues with the owner of this farm."
"By the way, don't tell Lin Zhiyuan about the legal representative's matter yet. He's been busy with the farm lately. Tell him that we will no longer have any contact with anything related to Xinbaihui."
"clear."
After two months of relocation work, Huaxia has successfully moved the residents out of the low-lying areas.
At this time, the signs of a flood were becoming increasingly obvious. Southern regions experienced continuous rainfall, sometimes lasting for an entire day. The waters of the Yangtze River and its major tributaries became turbid, repeatedly breaking historical river water levels.
However, the opportunity for an outbreak has not yet emerged. Various government departments are making orderly arrangements for various emergency rescue and disaster relief preparations, and the relief supplies purchased from Longteng alone amount to one hundred million US dollars.
In addition, Longteng donated $70 million worth of supplies in the name of the company to help local governments relocate people from dangerous areas.
Kwok Ping-cheung, together with the four major families, ultimately donated HK$120 million as compensation and relief funds for the relocation of residents in the Yangtze River area.
Longteng's factory cooperated with the relocation team, providing equipment and supplies to move residents to higher ground or temporary housing.
At this time, a considerable number of stubborn residents had not left the danger zone. Lin Lao instructed the grassroots cadres to say that the temporary resettlement facilities were limited and would be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If they insisted on staying, they would have to wait until after the disaster to be arranged to live in a relief station with the homeless.
This statement carried considerable weight; within hours of its release, residents expressed their willingness to follow the government-arranged buses to the temporary housing complex.
In April, the massive relocation effort was nearing its end.
The expert group's predictions based on the flood model have been largely confirmed. The central government and Lin Biao have mobilized grassroots cadres several times to prevent floods and prepare emergency plans in all aspects. The plans must be thoroughly integrated with local case studies and must not involve any disaster relief efforts that are merely empty slogans.
For company representatives, these people who usually sit comfortably in their offices suddenly became very busy, cooperating with local townships to relocate residents from dangerous areas.
