Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Shi Lin was born into a military family, and his keen intuition told him that Wang Jianjun's purpose was not simple.

But the price Wang Jianjun offered was too tempting for him to refuse.

China has contacted several countries internationally some time ago to express its desire to buy food.

He even contacted people from the four major grain traders.

It’s just that these countries choose to raise the price or simply not sell.

Xiao Rizi expressed his willingness to sell rice to us.

But the other party wants us to exchange it for rare earths or minerals.

Although China is already selling ore to Russia to pay off its debts.

But it is simply impossible to sell it to Xiao Rizi.

At present, China has temporarily finalized several countries for transactions.

Shilin came to Hong Kong just to try his luck.

Who would have thought that after arriving in Hong Kong, someone would actually approach him and offer to sell him food at half price.

How could he not be suspicious?

Seeing Shi Lin's suspicious look, Wang Jianjun smiled and said directly:

"Mr. Shi, let me be frank. We will definitely lose money if we give you this price. But I am Chinese, so please don't question my patriotism. My wife and I couldn't bear the disaster that our country suffered, so we just wanted to make some contribution to the country."

Hearing Wang Jianjun's words, Shi Lin stood up and saluted Wang Jianjun.

"Thank you very much for your support to the country!"

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and smiled:

"Mr. Shi Lin, you are too polite. Actually, I have a selfish motive for doing this. I also want to take this opportunity to do a favor for the country, so that I can have a backer in Hong Kong. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would also like to do business in China."

Wang Jianjun's words were straightforward, and Shi Lin was not disgusted by them. Instead, he felt that Wang Jianjun was honest.

He smiled and said:

"I will convey Mr. Wang's words to the higher-ups for you. I believe that the country will definitely support patriotic businessmen like Mr. Wang."

Shi Lin's words basically finalized the intention of cooperation.

He then had a preliminary discussion with Wang Jianjun on the cooperation mode and transaction details.

After discussing the cooperation, Shi Lin returned to the inland on the same day to contact his superiors and report the news.

The next day he returned to Hong Kong to find Shen Maiqiu to sign the contract.

At the same time, he also gave Wang Jianjun a phone number.

"Mr. Wang, this is my contact information. If you have any difficulties and need help from the country in the future, you can call me at any time."

Wang Jianjun suppressed his excitement.

With this contact information, I can be considered to have found a backer.

"In addition to this contact information, I heard that the Supreme Instruction has another gift for you, but it will take a few days to deliver it. When the time comes, I will personally bring it to you."

Speaking of this, Shi Lin looked at Wang Jianjun with envy on his face.

That was a gift from the highest order.

No matter how valuable the gift is, the meaning of the thing itself far exceeds its value.

Wang Jianjun was also looking forward to hearing that there was a gift from the highest level.

This is a gift from the highest order. With this thing, my status in Hong Kong in the future will be similar to that of the Huo family.

You should know that the Huo family doesn’t need to bring bodyguards when they go out in Hong Kong.

He is completely different from someone like Li Chaoren who needs dozens of bodyguards to protect him every day.

Even the century gangster who later kidnapped Li Chaoren's son did not dare to touch the Huo family.

It’s because of the Huo family’s identity as patriotic businessmen.

After the transaction was completed, Wang Jianjun arranged for a cargo ship to transport the grain to the inland on the same day.

Guangdong Province specially cleared a dock to accommodate Wang Jianjun's cargo ship.

Even tens of thousands of troops were sent to transport the food.

The first batch of grain purchased by China was one million tons.

A total of five batches, five million tons.

And several million tons will be imported in the next step.

This amount of food is only barely enough for China's consumption in one year.

However, the disaster will be over next year, and the people in power have realized the mistakes of the exaggerated style and are now actively correcting it.

Everything is going in the right direction.

As long as we get through this year, things will be fine.

Wang Jianjun counted the food in the space.

The total amount of food produced in space plus the food stolen from the Russian bear is nearly 20 million tons.

It will definitely be enough this year, even more than enough.

After this batch of grain was transported to Guangdong Province, it was immediately sent to various parts of China, especially to those areas severely affected by the disaster.

A few days later, food supplies were gradually released to various parts of China.

At the same time, the supply indicators for urban residents also returned to their original standards.

People rushed to the grain station to buy food.

Although the subdistrict office has already notified everyone, the food supply problem has been resolved.

But this can't stop people from buying food.

After more than two years of famine, everyone had the same idea.

If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.

On the day when the food supply in Sijiu City was adjusted, Wang Jianjun took a special walk around the streets.

He felt very relieved when he saw the residents who bought food rushing home happily.

This time, I have changed history.

Sijiu City was considered the first city to be supplied with food.

In the following days, the victims in the shelters were gradually persuaded to return to their registered places of residence.

Every city now has shelters and soup kitchens.

These people don’t have to worry about starving to death when they return.

As for those who have already married and moved to the old city, they naturally don't need to go back.

After the people from the shelter went back, Li Xiuzhi sent a telegram to contact people back home.

When Li Xiuzhi heard through the telegram that people in her hometown were not starved to death, she was so excited that she hugged Li Kuiyong and burst into tears.

It was also thanks to Li Kuiyong who sent food coupons to Li Xiuzhi's hometown from time to time that the lives of the whole family were saved.

Finally, Li Xiuzhi sent a telegram saying that she was married and had children, and that she would go back to visit her relatives with her children and husband once her life became stable.

After all, lucky people like Li Xiuzhi are a minority.

But at least more people survived than in the original history.

At least as long as you are alive there is hope.

Two weeks later, Shi Lin came to Hong Kong again.

He also brought him something specially this time.

That was a gift given to him by China's highest instructions.

"To be honest, if my status didn't prohibit me, I would have wanted to take this gift for myself."

Shi Lin rarely joked with Wang Jianjun.

"What on earth is it that makes you so greedy?"

Wang Jianjun was also very curious, but he didn't know Shi Lin's identity.

But he still recognized the lieutenant general's shoulder straps.

The gift that even this guy envies must be extraordinary.

"Look for yourself. I haven't opened it, but I roughly know what it is."

Wang Jianjun took the box from Shi Lin's hand, opened it and found that it was a calligraphy.

The calligraphy of the highest instruction?

No wonder Shi Lin is so envious.

This is not something you can buy with money.

It was such a good deal to exchange the food I donated for this calligraphy.
