Chapter 444: Famine

Li Jie's wedding was held as usual, and there were still many people attending the wedding, but there were fewer familiar faces. Lin Aiju and Shi Yifei came back under Yu Xuemei's protection, but they came and went in a hurry. The goddaughter's wedding, being a godfather... How could he not show his face? He just felt wronged Xiaoyu and had been entangled for a long time, but Jiang Yujie did not let her come back, which made the little girl feel so angry. It seemed that Jiang Yujie would not let her leave the big net before giving birth to the baby.

The sky is still blue and the wind is still light, but people's moods have changed.

Zhang Huilan and Li Jie didn't know what happened, but they felt that this time things were a bit unusual. Otherwise, how could Li Bin let them live in Li Jie's new house temporarily? But after asking this several times, Zhang Huilan didn't get an accurate answer from Li Bin. Looking at her son's calm look, it seemed as if things were not as serious as she imagined. She was really confused by him. Her son is old and has his own principles of dealing with things. There are some things he doesn't want to let him know now.

Zhang Huilan scrubbed her gray hair in her hair and pulled Du Shan and Zhao Yu to Li Bin's car and returned to Li Jie's new house. Tonight, Li Jie and Xiao Yao would live in the presidential suite of the Love Hotel. Tomorrow they are going to Hong Kong, which is a newlywed trip. Xiao Yao has a heavy task there. If Li Bin hadn't firmly opposed postponing the wedding date backward, Xiao Yao would have no time at all.

Stopped at the entrance of the community where Li Jie lives, Li Bin carried Du Shan and Zhao Yu one by one. Wei Hua drove Li Jie's car and parked behind them. Li Jie's new car was a Mercedes-Benz Slk200 convertible sports car, which was a wedding gift given to Li Jie by Shi Yifei and Lin Aiju. It was more than 600,000 yuan, neither simple nor extravagant. If Li Bin hadn't stopped him, Lin Aiju would have bought Li Jie a top-class sports car. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Li Bin didn't want to spoil her sister.

Li Bin and Wei Hua used a color, and Wei Hua nodded gently. There was no need for Li Bin to worry about these things. If there was still a problem with protecting these three people, he might as well find a place to hit him and die.

"Mom, then I'll leave first." Li Bin grabbed Zhang Huilan's hand and shook it gently. Han Xiaowei got married today. The wedding was held in Qingdao. He had already agreed to attend dinner. It is estimated that he would stay in Qingdao for two days this time. He has not been to the newly opened boutique shop there. If it is not counted in Tianjin's low-rent housing project, Qingdao is the city with the most investment in Love Industrial. It invested nearly 2 billion yuan in just one city square, plus boutique shops, hotels, supermarkets, etc., and there are 25.6 billion yuan in total, which is not a small amount.

"Well, be careful on the way." Zhang Huilan pulled Li Bin's leather jacket collar, as if this would make her son more protective.

Li Bin smiled and turned around and boarded Land Rover. No matter how old she grew up, her mother sometimes treated herself like a child. This fabulous fate actually brought herself back to life and could always be with her mother... beside her, Li Bin felt that God had given her too much favors.

‘Thank you, Brother Niu’, Li Bin silently recited in his heart.

The car quickly drove onto the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. Li Bin picked up the laptop he carried with him and connected it to the Internet.

The reward for the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group has been issued for two days. Now the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group has lost more than 20 ordinary mercenaries, a squadron leader and a small team leader. They are basically concentrated on the day the reward order was issued. From yesterday afternoon to now, few people have picked the flowers again. It seems that the Rattlesnake has also taken certain measures.

Li Bin smiled on his face. I just wanted to make you panic and make you dare not even step out of the door.

"Mr. Shi, you're doing this ruthlessly. Haha, I guess those bastards have to take guys with you even when going to the bathroom now." Zhang Rui turned his head from the passenger seat and smiled at Li Bin.

Li Bin smiled, looked at the data on his notebook and said, "Just treat it as a New Year gift we gave them."

It is estimated that few people are willing to get this gift. Since the reward was released, more than three million US dollars have been picked. Li Bin couldn't help but feel a little hurt. If these guys hadn't messed with him first, why would he have spent this in vain?

Yu Qiang looked at Li Bin from the rearview mirror. Li Bin did this matter very secretly. Although Li Bin did not deliberately keep it secret, he could only hear a little bit of words from the conversation between Li Bin and Zhang Rui.

Yes, it's another year, what will happen to the new year?

Li Bin took out the phone and hung up Situ Zhengang. It’s the New Year, so you should care about your brother-in-law. The two chatted for a few words, and the topic quickly turned to the projects that are now invested and constructed. Now Situ Zhengang’s mind is full of these projects under construction, and he is completely pushed away by the projects.

"Xiaojun, let alone anything else, send the construction personnel here quickly. The construction progress of the Deepwater Port is too slow, and even the two cargo ships are stopped at the same time... and no more follow-up work is being put in here, and the materials cannot be transported in. Also, now the fish and meat processing plant in Heidexi has already produced products, and there is a large number of roughly processed cattle and sheepskin to be transported back to China, and there are also..." Situ Zhengang talked endlessly and didn't play with it, like a mechanical doll full of strings.

Li Bin laughed: "Zhengang, our own cargo ship of Love will set sail from Tianjin Port to Haidexi tomorrow. In addition to the supplies you mentioned, I have also prepared twenty 100-ton fishing boats for you, and are now anchored in Sanya Port. After the Love arrives at Sanya Port, these twenty fishing boats will go to Haidexi with the boat. Think about what other materials you need now, so that these fishing boats can take them with you."

"I need a lot of food. There is no major problem in this area near Hydesi, but some remote places have begun to famine. It is said that Somalia is famine every year when there is no connection with the green and yellow. As long as my eyes can see, I don't want to see any children starving to death due to hunger."

Li Bin frowned and asked, "It's very serious?"

Two days ago, he stole $1.2 million from the Dark Gold Alliance website and donated it to the Red Cross charitable fund for special relief to the Somalia famine problem. It will take a process to implement it.

Nowadays, countries around the world have many restrictions on the export of grain. China's grain has always been in short supply. The country has planned to restrict the development of the winemaking industry. Exporting grain must be approved by provincial governments or above to be completed. Moreover, rice and flour are still export-restricted commodities, and the scope of exported grain is limited to some coarse grain crops.

"It's very serious," Situ Zhengang said, "Because of the famine, many people have fled to Heidesi. Our factories and construction sites have absorbed a lot of hungry people, and pressure has been shown. Looking at the current trend, there will only be more and more hungry people coming through. If there are another 50,000 hungry people, the food supply in Heidesi will be broken. Now there are nearly two months left before their harvest of grain crops this season, and many people will not be able to survive these two months."

Li Bin's eyebrows hopped, and he didn't expect that things would be so serious. Hunger is too unfamiliar to most people. When he was in the army, he had received hunger-resistant training and knew that the taste was not something that ordinary people could tolerate, not to mention that there were so many children. When hunger hit, those children must be the first target of sacrifice.

"Okay, I'll find a way." As he said that, Li Bin hung up the phone.

What can he do? He could only ask Zhao Wenge for help without approval. Even if he purchased the grain, he would not be able to transport it to Somalia.

Heidesi now has nearly 200,000 people, and the rations for 200,000 people will reach thousands of tons in two months. And according to what Situ Zhengang said, there will be a large number of hungry people coming in. Even if they have a certain self-producing capacity, it will definitely be very limited. After all, Heidesi only has such a big place. Even if they work hard to produce, how much can they produce? The only fishing boats are fishing for 24 hours a day, and it is impossible for them to feed the belly of many people.

"Dad, I want to transport a batch of grain to Somalia, where the famine is already very serious." Li Bin hung up the phone to Zhao Wenge.

Zhao Wenge said huh and said, "We have just discussed this issue. The country is preparing to rescue part of Somalia's rice. Now the National Food Administration of the Development and Reform Commission has begun to prepare. Well, I can put a part of this batch of food into Hydesi."

"How many?" Li Bin asked.

"I can put one hundred tons in Hydesi for you." Zhao Wenge said after pondering for a moment.

"Dad, not enough. Heidesey now has about 200,000 people, and there are still a large number of hungry people coming here. Even if you give me a thousand tons, it's not enough."

The air seemed to solidify. After a while, Zhao Wenge's voice was heard: "I can add another hundred tons to you. If there is more, the pressure will be too great."

"Dad, do you think this is good? I donated 1,500 tons myself. You just need to allow me to transport the food."

This brat really regarded Somalia as his home, and Zhao Wenge laughed. Tens of thousands of tons of grain had little impact on the country, so Zhao Wenge agreed readily.

"Thank you, dad, I have twenty fishing boats ready to transport to Somalia. The boat is parked in Sanya Port. Do you think you are saying hello to the Hainan Provincial Government?"

"Tell me about this matter." After saying that, Zhao Wenge hung up the phone.

Li Bin laughed. As long as the old man nodded, everything would be easy to deal with. If the country wants to provide relief to Somalia, food must be transported. How expensive is air freight? I now have more than a dozen cargo ships. It shouldn't be too big of a problem to help the country transport the grain to earn some freight. When I come back, I can just pull back the processed products, hey.
