Two days later, when the sun finally broke through the clouds and shone again on the land of Guzhu City, the rescue work in the disaster area was basically nearing completion.
The rescue scene is still a horrific picture. The once prosperous city is now in ruins.
Countless houses collapsed, and the traces of people's past lives were buried among the ruins.
With the completion of the rescue work, the final death toll was fixed at 227 and the number of injured was 1,179.
Behind every number is a broken family and the end of a story.
At the rescue site, soldiers and rescuers shuttled among the ruins tiredly but determinedly.
Their hands were covered with scars, marks left by moving bricks and stones.
As the bodies were put into body bags, the scene was filled with grief and solemnity. People silently held a moment of silence for the deceased and paid their final respects to those lives lost in the disaster.
When Xu Jianguo learned about these data, he felt mixed emotions.
Although compared with the horrific deaths and injuries of hundreds of thousands of people in his previous life, the result of this life is a blessing in disguise, he still feels a little helpless.
The mobilization had been carried out several days in advance, and the staff had visited them more than once to persuade them, but there were still some people who refused to leave with a fluke mentality. The old saying is true: good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.
He is courting death and no one can stop him. He can only pay for the decision he made with his life.
…
On the third day after the earthquake, Xu Fei, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, sent a message. He relayed to Xu Jianguo everything about the Central Committee's contact with him.
After understanding the situation, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
He had already made plans after living a new life. He was well aware of the difficulty and length of the reconstruction work in Guzhu City, especially the urgent need to resolve the resettlement of the affected people.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo made arrangements in advance and allowed Xu Fei to stockpile more than three million sets of color steel houses.
These color steel houses are all produced by Longyao Group's multiple factories in Southeast Asia. Each set can provide a usable area of 40 square meters and the manufacturing cost is about 600 Longxia coins.
Although the cost is not high, from a business perspective, Xu Jianguo can either not make money or lose less money, but he cannot give up money.
So he decided to donate part of it and sell the rest to the country at cost price.
The benefit of doing this is that it allows the country to see Longyao Group’s sincerity and that it is truly doing its best to help the country solve its difficulties.
If he donated all of them, people with complicated and dirty hearts would think that these more than three million color steel houses were donated at will, and it was obvious that Longyao Group had strong financial resources, and this amount of money was not worth mentioning to them at all. If a similar situation happened again in the future, and if the value of the materials donated by Longyao Group was lower than this time, then someone would definitely come out to make irresponsible remarks.
In a nutshell, the purpose of Xu Jianguo's doing this is to gain the country's recognition and let everyone know that Longyao Group is gritting its teeth and tightening its belt to do this this time.
After careful consideration, Xu Jianguo gave instructions to Xu Fei.
Longyao Group will donate one million sets of color steel houses to the country to demonstrate the social responsibility and patriotic sentiment of patriotic enterprises.
The remaining two million sets were sold to the state at a cost price of 600 yuan per set, and each set also came with a heating stove.
In addition, Xu Jianguo also asked Xu Fei to ask whether the country needs cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other items to keep warm. If there is a demand, they can also be sold at cost price.
After receiving Xu Jianguo's instructions, Xu Fei immediately conveyed the news to the bigwigs in the central government.
After learning the news, the bosses were full of praise for Longyao Group and Xu Fei.
The reputation of Longyao Group instantly rose to the same level as the Fok family in Hong Kong Island in their hearts.
But no one noticed that while a group of bigwigs were laughing heartily because Longyao Group had solved the country's urgent needs, the old man sitting in the main seat was staring at a few names on the notebook in front of him in a daze.
Chen Jin, who was standing by, noticed that something was wrong with the old man at the first moment, but he did not ask.
"Xu Fei, Xu Yang, Xu Yan, Xu Li...Xu Jianguo! I don't know how many things this brat is hiding from me! If this matter is really related to you, then I, an old man, really have to owe you a favor!" The old man muttered in a low voice, and no one could hear clearly what he was saying.
Only Chen Jin saw the old man mutter a few words in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile on his face.
At this time, Xu Jianguo didn't know that the old man could associate Longyao Group with him just by using a few names.
But even if he knew, Xu Jianguo didn't think it was a big deal. After all, he was always clueless. He didn't know, didn't know, and wouldn't admit it!
This seemingly unprofitable deal actually contains unimaginable hidden benefits.
This is also the business strategy for the next five years that Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian decided on after discussing it with each other.
In Xu Jianguo's view, if Longyao Group has the halo of a patriotic enterprise, its future development in the country will be smooth sailing, and all legal and compliant business methods will become unimpeded.
Internationally, Longyao Group, through its cooperation with Baron Larson of the Space Servant Parrot Country, has gained control of dozens of ports, energy, railways and other infrastructure in many European countries.
Its influence cannot be underestimated. Even the presidents and royal families of European countries are wary of it.
With the rise of Longyao Group in the international arena, the Li businessman who once claimed to control half of Hong Kong Island has been left far behind. Whether in the mainland, Hong Kong Island or overseas markets, Longyao Group has gradually occupied an advantageous position.
Xu Jianguo naturally did not have to worry about the subsequent specific donation matters and how to transport the color steel houses and other materials to the country.
There are two main things he is thinking about next...
