Chapter 179: Li Quan's Strength

This weekend, while everyone was still immersed in the shock and freshness of the products released by Heart of the Forest, a sudden and major natural disaster diverted people's attention.

A tsunami triggered by an earthquake in Haiti, accompanied by a powerful typhoon that had gone unnoticed, swept through Southeast Asian countries overnight. The storm and tsunami that swept through Southeast Asia caused huge damage to Southeast Asian countries. The next day's news coverage was almost swept up by this news.

Li Quan, who was still in Africa, was woken up by a phone call from Pitt in the morning and informed him of the incident. After being silent for two seconds, Li Quan gave an order to Pete in a deep voice: "Immediately start preparing food aid for these disaster-stricken countries." In addition, I would like to speak in person at the press conference. ”

When Li Quan announced to the news media at the press conference that Heart of the Forest would continue to distribute food to countries that were short of food due to the disaster, and would provide large-scale assistance to the countries that suffered from the tsunami, the media immediately released the news.

Heart of the Forest has once again succeeded in attracting global attention, and its reputation has been unparalleled, with praise reaching almost every corner of the Internet. At this point in time when various countries and various world organizations have not yet spoken, the Heart of the Forest Company was the first to make a statement, whether it coincided with the meeting or the hype, it brought great prestige to the Heart of the Forest Company.

Li Quan's goal has been achieved, and it is precisely because of his good reputation that he is not afraid of too much, and the grain in his hand is not worth a few dollars at allβ€”the production cost of super wheat is so low that no one knows about it except him. At this time, if you don't speak out, you can take the opportunity to make a name for yourself, then you are called a fool.

Of course, from the beneficiaries' point of view, the food distributed by Heart of the Forest is a real high-quality wheat flour, but it is more generous than some shameless countries and organizations that send moldy grain to disaster relief.

Correspondingly, Li Quan's personal prestige has risen rapidly, and Li Quan's prestige has gone from friendliness to respect among people of insight who love peace and advocate common prosperity around the world.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

This tsunami in Southeast Asia has attracted the attention of countless people. Soon after, governments issued statements announcing that they would send rescue teams to the relief and would provide material assistance. The international rescue team led by the international rescue organization soon arrived in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and other places, and began to assist the local government in carrying out the rescue.

Among the lists of aid provided by governments and international organizations, the most striking one is undoubtedly the Heart of the Forest's food relief program. The amount of aid alone is a sight to behold even for countries that are not affected by the disaster.

The daily ration per capita is 5 kg. This is the distribution standard proposed by Heart of the Forest.

Such a large amount of food inevitably arouses the thoughts of some people.

Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

It was also within the scope of the typhoon and tsunami, and as the capital of the Philippines, it was also not immune to the disaster and suffered a lot of damage.

At this time, in a clean international mansion, two men were sitting opposite each other and talking to each other. If there were Filipino citizens here, they would definitely recognize one of them. One of them was none other than Philippine President Nokia III, who had just finished a nationally televised address.

The man sitting across from Nokia III was little known. His status is also unusual, as a Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

"President Nokia, I won't beat around the bush, I just want to exchange views with you on the assistance of all parties involved in this disaster. As OCHA's Deputy Secretary-General, this is my primary responsibility. I have to coordinate the aid and make sure it gets to the people who need it as quickly as possible. It is the abbreviation of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

"Of course, the Philippine Congress fully cooperates with the work of the United Nations. If you have any difficulties here, you can raise them with me. Nokia III said politely.

"It's OCHA, not the United Nations." The Under-Secretary-General corrected and said, "I have a view on this matter. ”

"Please."

"It's about the Heart of the Forest's assistance program. I think you've heard of this company too? ”

"Of course, Heart of the Forest is a promising company and the leader is a brilliant young man." Nokia III said.

The Deputy Secretary-General frowned and said, "But I heard that they are not willing to submit to OCHA's coordination. They have their own channels for distributing materials, how to distribute them, and to whom they send them, are all up to them. As the deputy secretary general of OCHA, I think this attitude is very debatable, it is very inefficient, and if we can have OCHA to regulate and distribute the same materials, we can better send them to the places where they are most needed. ”

"What do you want to say?" Nokia III asked.

"I'd like to hear your opinion on this matter." The Deputy Secretary-General looked at Nokia III and said, "I am sure that there will be people who agree with me." Those people are my friends, friends, and you get special care from your friends......"

Nokia III fell silent.

It was a long time, just when the Under-Secretary-General was about to lose patience, that Nokia III looked up and asked, "What can the Philippines get from its friends?" ”

When the Deputy Secretary-General heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I am fully responsible for the distribution of materials this time, and in my opinion, the impact of this tsunami on various countries is different, some losses are larger, and some losses are smaller." Regions and countries with greater losses should naturally allocate more relief supplies. ”

Nokia III looked unmoved.

When the deputy secretary-general saw this, he cursed in his heart, then gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and said: "Three percent belongs to you personally." ”

"Ten percent," Nokia III said calmly.

"No! Five percent at most. ”

"Deal, friend." Nokia III smiled.

The Deputy Secretary-General immediately stood up, glanced to the left and right, and finally said to Nokia III: "I think you know what to do." With that, he walked out of the mansion with Nokia III.

"Of course." Nokia III was pleased with the price.

The deal was made quickly, and no third person knew about it. Both sides take what they need and hit it off.

Speaking of the reason why this happened, in fact, there was a long reason.

Heart of the Forest's moves in recent months have been eye-popping, and inevitably made it to OCHA's watch list. After investigation, they found that Forest Heart did not seem to have a national background behind it, and was a purely private enterprise. This was a very big surprise for some people, such as the deputy secretary-general, who saw the Heart of the Forest company as a piece of fat. He has seen too many enterprises of this nature.

Most of these enterprises, as long as they are controlled and put a little pressure on, will soften and become OCHA's pawns.

However, the Heart of the Forest Company was a bit hard, and it had previously taken the formal path but failed, and the Deputy Secretary-General personally participated in the contact with the Heart of the Forest Company, and was unfortunately closed by Li Quan.

This time the Heart of the Forest Company once again made a big move, and the Deputy Secretary-General decided to take a more decisive approach.

In the opinion of the Deputy Secretary-General, as long as the Forest Heart Company is controlled, the benefits will be unimaginable, and his promotion in OCHA is secondary, and with the financial resources of the Forest Heart Company, he can definitely get a piece of the pie.

He also knows some people in the United Nations judiciary, and when necessary, he can even go through the path of judicial coercion to find someone to forcibly buy the Heart of the Forest, override the existing leadership, and completely turn the Heart of the Forest into his pocket. When the time comes, huh...... Cruises? Luxury cars? Or a beauty? Or are you all together?

The tsunami in Southeast Asia gave him an opportunity, so he came to Nokia III. With his understanding of the other party, as long as the offer is high enough, the people of the Nokia family will definitely agree.

Things went very well, and this Filipino monkey almost sold his face. He was going to give 20% of the profit, but he only had to pay a measly 5%. Now it's time for Nokia III to perform.

Nokia III moves fast.

In the afternoon of the same day, he gathered reporters and expressed his views to the media.

"I have reason to believe that Heart of the Forest is not qualified enough to carry out this level of humanitarian relief. This should be done by a more official organization, such as OCHA, which is coordinated by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. At a critical time when everyone is in dire need of material assistance, we should strive for greater efficiency rather than putting our own selfish interests above precious lives. I am very sorry to hear that Heart of the Forest unilaterally rejected OCHA's coordination in previous contacts with OCHA...... If Heart of the Forest cannot act in the interests of the people, then the Philippines can only regretfully reject the so-called assistance plan of the Heart of the Forest. ”

The footage of Nokia III's interview was picked up by global media outlets such as CNN and the BBC, and it immediately caused a wave around the world.

The Philippines even boycotted aid? This is the first time I've seen you for a long time!

What does it mean to be not qualified to provide assistance? Do I need to get a professional certificate to distribute disaster relief supplies? People in any country who heard about it thought that this Philippine president was really ridiculous.

Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, in a special office at the heart of the forest company's headquarters. Pete walked in with the tablet and pushed the door, and showed Li Quan the news he had just received.

Li Quan was angry when he saw it.

There is actually a president with such thick skin? Can you say this kind of thing? Well, since you don't want it, forget it. Do I have to beg you to take my food?

"Very good, then on the published rescue list, the Philippines is crossed out." Li Quan commanded Pete in a flat tone, as if he was talking about an insignificant decision.

"Uh...... Good. Pete didn't talk much nonsense, he had guessed this was going to be the outcome before he came in. Recently, Li Quan has rarely stayed in the company, and he has been in contact with it a lot, and he gradually has some understanding of Li Quan's character. Before this, Pete had never thought that Li Quan was such a strong person.

"Anything else?" Li Quan asked Pete.

"It's okay, BOSS, I'll go out first." Pete said with a slight bend.

Li Quan nodded.

After Pete closed the door, Li Quan leaned back in the soft and comfortable office chair, crossed his legs on the expensive desk and put them away, and his eyes were pensive.

He knew very well that if it wasn't for President Philippine's brain, someone was behind it. Who can drive the president of a country to be so shameless? The answer is imminent.

He just didn't expect that these people would be so unlimited, the other party had already contacted him before, trying to interfere in his affairs of sending food to poor countries, but he flatly refused. As a result, this time they simply played this little trick, do these people really think that they have no temper?

The next morning, Nokia III held another press conference, in addition to announcing some post-disaster reconstruction plans, he also once again criticized the maverick and disobedient attitude of the Heart of the Forest, and degraded the failure of the Heart of the Forest to cooperate with the United Nations as irresponsible behavior for the human social order.

As a result, as soon as Nokia III's clamor ended, the rescue list of the Heart of the Forest Company was announced.

There is no Philippine country on it.

Nokia III was immediately dumbfounded when he learned about it. He instantly understood what was going on, and the Philippines was retaliated against by Heart of the Forest for his words. "How dare they risk the world!?"

"They can't do that! They don't have that right...... It's not fair! There is no doubt that this is banditry! Nokia III urgently held a press conference again, this time his words were even more intense, because he was taken away from the grain that should have been sent to the Philippines, it would be a lie to say that it was not painful, the amount of grain originally announced by the Heart of the Forest Company made him very angry, but now he suddenly said that it was gone, how could Nokia III endure it.

The reporters at Nokia III's press conference were a little unbearable. The following reporters are complaining in their hearts: Things belong to others, give them to you or not, don't people have this right?

The press conference was broadcast truthfully, and Nokia III quickly regretted it after the broadcast. The clown image of Nokia III quickly became known to people all over the world. Heart of the Forest has not said anything about this, and there is still no Philippine country on the list. At this time, the whole world was watching the Philippines and watching Nokia III's jokes.

Li Quan's toughness stunned the deputy secretary general of OCHA, he felt that he had underestimated this young man, and he thought he could catch it.

In the hotel, after hanging up the phone call from Nokia III to complain, the deputy secretary-general's face was cloudy for a while, and he suddenly snorted coldly. "I don't believe it, how powerful can a young man who hasn't grown up yet? The outside world has rated him too highly. I heard that he is Chinese, I remember that there is a saying in China called 'the higher you hold it, the more it breaks', I want people all over the world to see, and when the glass is broken, you will know that glass will always be just glass and will never become gold. He picked up the phone and thought to himself, it's time to use your connections.

Burundi, Li Quan was sitting in his office, and suddenly thought of a sentence: When soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the earth. He is not afraid of these bureaucrats who can only talk about it. "The money is in my hands, how can I spend it, I have to listen to you? It's ridiculous. He knew that the other party would definitely not give up, but he was not afraid at all, and it was up to him to see how the other side made a move.

He pressed the intercom on the table and said outside, "Call Bablu in." A moment later, a neatly dressed, but cramped-looking black guy walked in, it was Baburu, who had met Li Quan when he first arrived in Africa.
