On the way to the next village, the atmosphere was a bit dreary, and in addition to the hot air outside the window, there were different moods of everyone.

Batu was the first to break the dullness: "We're doing the right thing, and it's going to change here soon." ”

"I hope so......" Lele was not in a good mood, she pinched the mineral water bottle in her hand, thoughtful.

Qingsong said: "I have been to the Wumeng Mountains in Guizhou, which is also a key poverty-stricken area in China. I have read the local county records, more than ten years ago, the situation there was not much better than here, but after so many years of help, now the conditions there are much better, the roads have been built, the local children can go to school, and ordinary people may not eat a little worse, but at least they will not go hungry. ”

Cao Wu nodded: "Infrastructure and education are still the most important. ”

Lele was puzzled and asked, "Many places are actually not suitable for human habitation, why don't you move to other places?"

"You're a big problem. Cao Wu smiled: "We are just ordinary people, just do what we can." ”

The situation was even worse along Lake Turkana, where they saw the bones of countless livestock and even wild animals that had died of thirst on the roadside.

The people of the village tried to dig large pits in the ground to draw up the little dirty fresh water in the ground.

They observed the villagers of a village holding their dying lambs, praying to heaven and begging for rain.

Corresponding to this are the towering wind turbines and high-voltage transmission lines on the plains beyond the mountain passes.

This makes people feel that even with such advanced technology, poverty and hunger are still problems that human beings need to face.

They stayed in Turkana County for three days, and on their way back, they visited the rural villages of West Pokt and Wasinkisu counties, inspected their corn fields, and gained some insight into the damage in Kenya.

They have already returned to their hearts, but it is not because they can't stand the environment here, they just want to help with what they saw this time as soon as possible.

When they returned to Nairobi, the staff who stayed here brought them the news that Kenya's current president, Kenyatta, had learned of their arrival and was interested in meeting them.

Cao Wu and the others were surprised, but it was also reasonable.

Kenya's politics is hard to describe, in short, Kenyatta is a relatively pro-China president, and he is a person who really does things.

Next year's election is imminent, and he chose to meet with Cao Wu and others who came on behalf of this global charity concert, and his thoughts are self-evident.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Wu and the others decided to send three people to the presidential palace to visit Kenyatta, namely Cao Wu, Jiaju and Lele.

After eight o'clock in the morning and meeting at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Kenyatta invited them to lunch, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they left the presidential palace.

They talked a lot, and under Kenyatta's introduction, Cao Wu and they also had a clearer understanding of the specific situation on the ground in Kenya.

The situation in Kenya is even worse than what Cao Wu and his colleagues have seen, with the worst hit being in the north, where a total of 2.7 million people are now in urgent need of food aid.

Cao Wu also promised President Kenyatta that after they returned this time, they would raise food as soon as possible to provide assistance to Kenya, and the first batch of grain would not be less than 2,000 tons.

Transnational transportation is a long process, the shipping cycle is often monthly, and with the time it takes to prepare transportation, I am afraid that the first batch of grain will arrive in Kenya by the end of the year.

The food deficit for millions of people is terrifying: based on a monthly ration of 15 kilograms, 2.7 million people have to eat 40,000 tons of food a month.

Before returning to Nairobi, Cao Wu and the others had already discussed a plan to raise 5,000 tons of corn to be transported here at their private expense.

5,000 tonnes is not a small amount, and it would cost tens of millions to buy maize, but it is a drop in the bucket for Kenya's food shortage.

This year's drought has led to a massive reduction in food production, and international food aid must be sustained until the next harvest season, which will last for at least six months.

That's an astronomical amount that even a country like Kenya can't afford.

Before coming, Cao Wu and his team of initiators, led by Lao Zhan, and the organizers of the other three sub-venues held a meeting to discuss the use of donations.

There was no telling how much money would be raised, so most of the singers who had already decided to participate had a share of the money. In other words, everyone is ready to pay for this concert.

Because the income from this concert will involve many countries, how to distribute and use it is also a very troublesome matter.

It is impossible to centralize and distribute together, not because of trust problems, but because of inefficiency.

It was unanimously decided to set up a foundation with all those involved in the event being the first members. Then, the Foundation will take the lead and set up stations in the four locations where the branch venues are located, which will be managed by the members of the Foundation, and the management rights will rotate every year.

The donations will also be managed by the heads of the four sub-venues and the organizers of the fundraising, which will be used for the purchase of food, transportation, and subsequent distribution.

After Cao Wu and the others returned to China, they ran non-stop.

They made a special trip to the northeast, which is the granary of China.

Liang Lusheng also went back together, he is currently well-known in his hometown and can make some contributions.

But after learning about it, they realized that the bulk grain trade was not as simple as they thought.

They think they can buy food with money, but in reality this is not the case.

For the sake of food security, domestic grain is rarely exported, but is imported in large quantities every year.

The grain in stock also has a specified time for sale every year, and it is through auction, which is called temporary storage auction.

This year's temporary storage auction time has passed, and there is only one channel for traders to buy grain at present.

In Cao Wu's opinion, 5,000 tons of grain is already a lot, but in the eyes of many large local traders in Northeast China, it is only a small number.

The businessman's sense of smell is always the keenest, and any bit of wind and grass in the market can be interpreted by them countless information.

Therefore, when the news of the Asian branch of the charity concert landed in the magic capital, the local food price also rose slightly.

Many big traders are looking forward to watching the market, and now they have become the world's most enthusiastic star chasers, and all the stars who may participate in this concert are known to them, and the Black Hole Band and Xinghai Culture, as the initiator and organizer, have become their key targets.

They knew better than anyone else the itinerary of the Black Hole Band, so when Cao Wu and his party had just arrived in the Northeast, someone came to visit them.
