I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 205: It's Again For Nothing

Compared to Li Xingxing's secret narcissism, Zhao Haiyun is much calmer.

He smiled and said: "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Li, our country has clearly reduced the import of industrial equipment, and the foreign exchange reserves have been greatly eased. According to my estimation, the plan to import grain will soon be put on the road, but it is a pity that our country's foreign exchange reserves Insufficient, only [-] million U.S. dollars, I am afraid that it will be paid in installments, deferred payment, or exporting gold and silver for foreign exchange.”

Li Xingxing was stunned: "The foreign exchange reserves are only [-] million US dollars?"

Zhao Haiyun nodded.

"A lot of waste is waiting to be done, our country is really too difficult." Li Xingxing couldn't help but said, and asked again: "The food supply is so difficult, has there been no imported food?"

On this point, she really didn't understand the above decisions.

Zhao Haiyun explained: "For political considerations, our country is a net exporter of grain. Last year, we signed an export agreement for this year, exporting about 230 million tons of grain, and we have to export according to the agreement."

Li Xingxing frowned, "Export and then import? It's not troublesome enough."

I used to think that Zhao Haiyun's import of 10 tons of grain was a lot, but now it is not worth mentioning compared to the export value.

"Comrade Zhao, Wutong City once had millions of tons of grain to aid the masses. Will the higher authorities not mention the import plan because of the temporary relief of grain? I don't think there is such a possibility."

Hearing Li Xingxing's question, Zhao Haiyun nodded and said, "You have a point, but in the first half of this year, many major provinces were either drought or flood, and it has been completely confirmed that there will be no crops this year. The million tons of grain that appeared in Wutong City is just a drop in the bucket. There is no way to alleviate widespread famine, and food imports are imperative.”

"That's good, that's good." Li Xingxing patted his chest.

She was really afraid that her donation would backfire.

Zhao Haiyun smiled and said, "Comrade Li, when the food arrives, I'll ask someone to bring you some to ensure that you won't go hungry."

Li Xingxing politely declined: "Thank you, Comrade Zhao, I appreciate it. Our family is not hungry. The food is not as good as helping other people in need and saving lives. They will be grateful to you."

Zhao Haiyun looked at her carefully, her complexion was rosy, her flesh and bones were well-proportioned, and her spirits were high, she really didn't look like a starving person.

So, he changed his words at the right time: "Okay, call me if you need it."

Li Xingxing clasped his hands together, "Thank you! Could you please call my brother's work unit now? Ask him to pick me up after get off work. I'm afraid I won't have time to meet him tomorrow when I get busy."

"no problem."

Zhao Haiyun called Zhang Jianguo and asked him to tell Chen Nianen to pick up Li Xingxing. Then he went to the study to withdraw 4 yuan, and gave Li Xingxing an exquisitely carved yellow rosewood jewelry box.

Li Xingxing suddenly asked with experience: "What?"

"Open it yourself to see if you like it." Zhao Haiyun nodded his chin in the direction of the jewelry box.

Li Xingxing did not reach out, "Comrade Zhao, you will not be rewarded for nothing."

"If you hadn't appeared today, Master Xiao wouldn't have made it so clear to me. I acknowledge your kindness. These are gifts! Don't take it to heart. Besides, my wife and children won't be returning to China in the short term. My every move attracts attention, I can't leave Shanghai easily, these things can't be sent out at all, something happened, I don't know who is cheaper, why don't I send you to a better place."

Li Xingxing was speechless: "What do you think I look like? I came to pay back the money. The IOU was burned, and I brought back an extra 4 yuan. You gave me another box of jewelry. I really got something for nothing."

She doesn't understand the richness of big capitalists.
