Liu Hai was still in disbelief and asked, "Do you really have that much money?"
'This is 200 million US dollars! How much is the country's foreign exchange reserve?! '
"This is the initial amount. If the Ministry of Water Resources has a definite plan, I can invest another 300 million US dollars in the later stages!" According to the official exchange rate, the total 500 million US dollars might only be 2 billion yuan, but according to the normal market exchange rate, it could be converted to about 4 billion yuan, which was more than enough to cover the cost of the project. He thought for a moment and said, "I can also accept expanding the irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu."
He did not know if it was too late to repair the estuary of the Huai River. It was a huge project.
Liu Hai said angrily, "Little Li, you're getting more and more out of hand."
"Have you heard of the Yuanda Group and the Golden Deer Group?"
Liu Hai said, "They're famous in the country for foreign exchange. How could I not know them? Oh, right, I remember they're related to you. "
Li He smiled and said, "They're under my personal name."
Liu Hai said in disbelief, "You're really not joking?"
Li He shook his head and said, "No, these two people are coming here for a trade meeting. These two people are coming here to have a trade meeting. If you don't believe me, you can go and confirm it yourself. "
Liu Hai said after a long time, "Wait for my news. But if I report it, you can't cheat me! "
"Is this the first time you've met me? When have I ever lied to you? "
Liu Hai said, "I've known you for ten years. If anyone else said that, I'd definitely think they're crazy!"
"Alright, alright. Just trust me. I'm a man of my word. "
Liu Hai was still puzzled. "You can't just give me the money for no reason, right?"
"It's nothing. The Huai River has been flooded many times in history. It's the river with the most serious flood disaster in China. I just think that most of the floods in the Huai River are caused by poor water supply. My family lives by the Huai River, so since I have the ability, I naturally have to do this. "
"It's that simple?"
Li He nodded. "It's that simple. I just don't want history to repeat itself. "
Liu Hai hurriedly drank the tea in his cup and took a deep breath. Before he left the door, he turned back to look at Li He. When he saw the look of certainty in Li He's eyes, he relaxed a little.
Li He wasn't being impulsive. Whether it was from the perspective of morality or personal interests, he had to do this.
He had decided to do it, and he would definitely do it. Those who had never experienced a flood would find it hard to imagine the helplessness and sadness of facing a flood.
Even a person as generous as Li Zhaokun would have tears in his eyes when he mentioned the flood in front of him.
That flood affected hundreds of millions of people. Not only did it cause a large number of villages along the coast to be submerged, food crops were also destroyed, and tens of millions of people were homeless and penniless. Those who became poor because of the disaster could only beg for a living.
It also affected eighteen provinces, and it wasn't just the two banks of the Huai River.
It was a catastrophe.
That had always been a regret in his heart. If he did it, he would at least have some psychological comfort if he didn't succeed. After all, he had tried his best. But if he didn't do it, he would be very sad.
How could people live only for themselves?
Moreover, he was no longer a transparent person. It was not impossible for him to show off with 500 million US dollars.
He might not be able to see the ways of the world clearly, but his home was there, and his hometown was there. If a disaster were to happen, it would be a deep pain to him. After all, he was a living person, and he felt that he was alive now.
At least to him, it wouldn't be a waste of his life.
Early in the morning, Li He drove to pick up his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. He stopped He Fang, who wanted to follow, and said, "Stay at home and look after the kids. It's not like I don't know them."
He Fang said, "Drive slowly on the road then."
"It's okay. Rest at home. "
The old lady entered the city and squeezed out of the train. Needless to say, she thanked the Great Immortal for his protection.
She followed her son, carrying bags of all sizes, and waited at the exit of the station. Seeing the people coming and going, she felt a little dizzy. Like ants on a hot pan, she paced back and forth, unable to find peace.
When she saw Li He looking around, she heaved a sigh of relief. She waved at Li He and said, "It's here."
"Auntie, get in the car." Li He went up to take the luggage. He rarely followed He Fang and called her 'Mom' or 'Old Mother'. Even He Fang would occasionally call her 'Old Madam'. But Li He couldn't call her that. He had never called Wang Yulan 'Mom' before. He was afraid that he would get goosebumps.
Why did he have to waste it on addressing her? It was not energy-saving at all …
The old lady asked, "Is it busy at home that you guys have to pick us up?"
"It's not busy. Your daughter stewed a hen for you at home, so she didn't come to pick you up. We'll have good food when we get back. "
He Long sat in the front passenger seat and looked at the minivan enviously. He asked, "Brother-in-law, isn't this like driving a tractor? Let me try."
The old lady said, "There are cars coming and going. Don't mess around."
Li He smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want you to drive. You need a driver's license to drive. If you really want to learn, I'll take you to get a driver's license tomorrow."
"Then it'll be a waste of effort. Forget it, forget it. I'll be back in a few days." He Long was relieved. He was only here to send his mother. After this, he still had to rush back home.
At the entrance of the alley, Li He hadn't parked the car yet. The old lady saw her daughter through the car window and waved at her frantically.
Li He opened the door for them first. The old lady got out of the car and circled around her daughter. Seeing that her face was rosy and that she wasn't hurt, she was relieved.
Carrying her grandson, she weighed him and said, "It's really sturdy."
He Fang took the old lady's arm and was about to lead her home. As they walked, she said, "I forgot to weigh him these few days. I think he's gained weight again."
"He's weaned?"
"Yes, but he's willing to eat milk and rice porridge. He's eating happily."
After entering the house, the old lady walked around the front and back of the house. She was very satisfied and said, "This place is spacious and comfortable to live in. I was afraid that you guys would crowd together."
He Fang said, "I told you long ago that there's land to live in. The house is big and there are many rooms. If not, there's a house not far away. You can all live in it. "
The house she had bought back then was still empty.
"Okay, okay." Seeing that there were livestock, a pond, and a vegetable garden in the house, the old lady was relieved. She didn't feel as uneasy as before. She said, "This child is quite obedient. I'll take care of everything in the future. You guys can go to work in peace."
"Alright. You'll be tired in the future. " He Fang quickly fetched some water for her mother and brother to wash their faces and hands. Then she said, "It's done. Let's eat. You guys must be hungry."
He Long looked around as much as his mother. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to live in such a big house. There was something strange about it everywhere. On the way from the train station, he was already dazzled by the sights.
After lunch, He Fang arranged a room for the old lady and He Long so that they could have a good sleep. The train ride was very tiring.
The old lady looked at the brand new blankets and bedsheets and said sarcastically, "Why are you wasting them? It's fine as long as they're usable."
He Fang said, "We don't need this. You can sleep first. Sleep until the next night and wake up for dinner. "
He Long felt that everything was new and said that he wanted to go for a walk around. Li He arranged for Little Wei to bring him around.
When Little Wei heard that he was his brother-in-law, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent. He drove him around to play billiards and then to a teahouse.
Little Wei was very arrogant now. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by people. He Long felt honored to follow behind him. People also called him Brother Long. He had never felt so satisfied before.
What excited him the most was that he could go to the disco at night. He could jump and float to the rhythm of the music. He liked it so much that he forgot about his duties.
After so many cigarettes, so much alcohol, and so many sleepless nights, he had endless energy.
After playing like this for a week, He Long didn't mention anything about going back. Every day, he would follow Little Wei around and have fun. He would leave early and return late. He was even busier than He Fang.
He Fang had already completely entrusted the child to his mother. She had already reported back to school. Although she didn't have her original position, she had become the school's Youth League committee member. Although it was only a deputy position, she was still very busy every day.
She couldn't stand He Long's behavior and asked, "What are you doing every day?"
He Long said, "Following Brother Little Wei around?"
He Fang was exasperated. "He's just a kid. Why are you calling him Brother?!"
He Long said timidly, "He doesn't let me call him that either, but I'm just doing what others call him. You don't know how popular he is outside."
If Little Wei knew that He Long was giving him eyedrops for no reason, he would definitely die of anger.
He Fang could only sigh.
She secretly said to Li He, "Don't let Little Wei take care of him anymore. No matter what my brother says, you can't just agree to it. Let him walk around for a few days, buy some things, and then let him go back. "
"That's not good." If He Long really wanted to stay here, as his brother-in-law, Li He couldn't just chase him away.
"He's just a cannon that's being used like a needle by a stick. Just don't agree to anything he says. If there's anything, let him talk to me. "He Fang knew her brother too well. As the elder sister, she naturally had to consider all aspects.
