Chapter 1791 - Sleigh Car
Busy until evening.
Pooh had already marked all the ginseng locations, and it felt like its nose was going to freeze to the point that it had no sense of smell, and the Kodiak Island brown bears were different from polar bears, they didn't have such small noses.
Finally found that as long as two catties of honey, it was really a loss to grandma's house, and stared at the master with an unhappy face, until Han Xuan promised to give more, he was not satisfied, and he couldn't continue to stay, hiding in the car to avoid the cold.
By noon the snow had stopped, and in the evening it began to snow again, even heavier than in the morning, and some snowflakes could reach about a centimeter in length.
More than 100 people, only about 1,200 ginseng were cleaned out in the afternoon, considering the terrain covered by ice and snow and the frozen hard land, the efficiency was not bad, Daddy Han's coat was covered with snow, at this time he was out of breath and put down the shovel and moved a lump of soil out, and he could see the dried ginseng leaves on it.
He raised his head and looked around, and shouted to the employees around him, "Tidy up, bring back what you dug today, and then wait for the snow to stop before continuing!"
It's getting dark, go home to rest and have dinner, don't be in a hurry to collect it all, tomorrow look at the weather and then decide whether to dig or not, mark it, don't find it then!
Looks like it's snowing again! Go back before the road is blocked! ”
Many people replied that they did, and they did not want to continue working in this weather, and they were tired from a busy afternoon, and they just wanted to go back to the warmth of their homes to rest.
Martinez walked in the snow at this time, and said to Han Xuan and Han's father, "You guys go home first, otherwise it will be difficult to walk later." ”
"Well, then let's go first, I just called Barton, he will bring some people over to help, it's okay under the snow, these ginseng are being dug up now, and if they don't be transported back in time, they will freeze."
"I know, let them transport it to the side of the road first, find a few cars to come and pull it away......"
When I walked, I didn't have the strength to walk at the moment, especially Anya and Isabelle, women suffered a lot in terms of physical strength, and waited on the side of the road for a while, and the family bodyguards drove a few Hummer cars over, Pooh couldn't sit in, and ran home with *** behind the convoy, which was also a rare exercise.
Back in the warm home, both Han Xuan and the animals breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling that the body was about to be frozen quickly disappeared, and they roasted the fire by the fireplace for a while, and after the body warmed up, Han Xuan came to the sofa and turned on the TV.
Anya has recently taken a fondness to cooking, luckily she has a talent that can't be compared to those chefs, but at least it's not hard to swallow, and Isabelle went back to her room to rest, she was going to lie down on the bed.
The outsider was reading a book, with a cup of black tea in his hand, enjoying his vacation quietly, and the fat Ding lay next to him as a doll, curled into a ball like a plush ball, and was already asleep.
Han Xuan looked at his grandfather and asked, "What book are you reading?" ”
"The book I found in your attic study, "A Song of Ice and Fire" published by Bantam Books a few years ago, the content is very interesting, I spent an afternoon almost reading two books, and I feel suitable for being made into a TV series."
Guo Muzhou didn't raise his head, and after answering, he picked up the cup and drank black tea, probably feeling a little cold, so he put down the book and added some hot water by himself.
Han Xuan's face was suddenly revealed, and he told: "I have read the first book, but the author has not finished writing it yet, I plan to wait until it is all written before reading it, it is selling very well."
The adaptation rights of this book can be bought, I think there should be a market, and the popularity of the book proves that there are readers who love the content in it, and there is a certain degree of guarantee when it is made into a TV series. ”
"Well, now we do like direct adaptations, like the books you wrote, the adaptation rights of Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Pirate Legends, needless to say, and even that autobiography can be adapted into a movie.
How about it, do you want me to find a little Chinese to play the plot of you growing up when you were a child, and you will play it yourself? ”
There are quite a few movies based on the real deeds of celebrities, they have box office appeal in their own right, the scripts are easy to prepare, and the investment is generally not large.
Han Xuan thought it seemed to be interesting, stretched lazily, and said with a smile: "Okay, then how much do you plan to pay me?"
Anyway, it costs about 20 million US dollars, which is similar to other first-line actors, and there is also my portrait rights fee, just give me 30 million US dollars.
Donate directly to my charitable foundation, by the way, grandfather, do you think my move of donating condoms to some countries in Africa seems stupid?
A full 100 million of them have been put out of charge for free, and it has only been less than half a year, and recently the World Health Organization told me that it is actually gone! ”
This sentence successfully attracted the old man's attention, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and told Han Xuan: "It's really a bit silly, and it can have little effect.
It is said that some people do not pay attention to their private lives even if they know they have HIV, and the lack of testing has led to the rapid spread of the disease.
Some Africans even feel that they can survive for 10 years even if they get sick, so why not go ahead and think it's more effective to spread the word about the horrors of the disease than to give out free condoms. ”
"It's still working, although it didn't meet expectations, but at least the money wasn't spent in vain.
Together with the World Health Organization, we have made some progress in the fight against AIDS in some African countries.
For example, in Senegal and Uganda, two priority countries, the rate of AIDS infection among Senegalese adults has now dropped from nearly 10 percent two years ago to 8 percent.
The HIV infection rate in Uganda three years ago was about 15 percent, but now it has dropped to 11 percent, and in some areas it has even dropped to less than 10 percent. ”
Han Xuan then added: "It's just that the price of wanting to make a difference is a bit big, the average annual expenditure is about 400 million US dollars, and I can't get any return except reputation."
This is a palliative solution, and it is impossible to develop antibodies or drugs that can effectively treat HIV in a short period of time, and it needs to be made in some way to ensure sustainable treatment, otherwise it will be a bottomless pit that can drag me down.
Spending at least $15 billion in 10 years is mainly a matter of local perceptions, and the level of education is far below the world average, and it will take a long time to change. ”
"The Nobel Prize selection body does not award you a peace prize, I am really sorry for your efforts, don't take too big a step, take your time, solve it country by country, and wait until a certain stage, other countries will also be affected.
Instead of imposing ideas on them, let them learn from their neighbors on their own...... It's hard to do, but at least it's better than not doing it, and no one can deny you the credit for your work, which will pay you real dividends in the future. ”
15 billion US dollars, even for a country, is not a small number, now the Han family has a big business, and it is good for themselves to scatter some of the money at the right time, not to mention that the charitable foundation has stipulated the amount of money that needs to be used for charity at least every year.
Neither Guo Muzhou nor Mr. Han said anything about Han Xuan's large-scale money-burning behavior, which was hidden under the amount of 15 billion US dollars, and about 500 million to 800 million US dollars a year to subsidize poor areas in China, no one said anything.
This scale of charitable donations is far beyond the scope of "show", and people know that Han Xuan really wants to do something to change the world through his own ability, reflecting the sense of responsibility as a high-level rich man.
"I also think we should slow down and focus on a few countries, Uganda and Senegal are the first ones, but unfortunately there is always turmoil in some areas there, and sometimes just after the talks, the whole political scene changes.
My reputation is not good over there, but it has been much better in the last two years, and I plan to help the stable situation first, prevention is always a symptom rather than a cure, and the development of new drugs as soon as possible is the top priority.
Recently, an executive from the charity foundation suggested that I buy SSL Group in the United Kingdom and Okamoto Co., Ltd. in Japan, and they think that this business can bring profits in the long term like KFC and McDonald's......
