rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen called Wang Zhan and Li Hongjie. It can only be said that he was making preparations. If there was no disaster, that would be the best, but if there was a serious situation, he would not be in a hurry.

Since Hu Mingchen became rich, he has rarely done charity work. If he did, it was in his hometown or the school he attended.

If we talk about the richest man, Hu Mingchen definitely deserves the title, but as the richest man, he still has a big gap.

However, since last year, Hu Mingchen and his affiliated companies began to provide important donation support to the education field, Hu Mingchen's mentality in this regard seems to have changed somewhat.

During this heavy rain, although Hu Mingchen's determination to fight against the disaster was caused by Tian Yongjun, he was definitely not as simple as rescuing Tian Yongjun's house just to help Tian Yongjun.

If we just rescue Tian Yongjun's family, there is no need to engage in such a big battle. Just send a few people or give a separate sum of money.

The reason why he attaches so much importance is that he really wants to do something from the bottom of his heart, do something for the country and do something for the people.

From the perspective of demand theory, Hu Mingchen now has no worries about food and clothing, and he even lacks respect from the people around him. What he wants more is a deep sense of satisfaction, self-affirmation and pride.

When I woke up early the next morning, the rain had stopped. After a few hours of washing, the air felt particularly fresh and clean.

Hu Mingchen still goes out for runs and exercises as usual. As long as there is nothing special, morning exercise has basically become Hu Mingchen's must-have item.

Hu Mingchen first went to the playground and ran twenty laps, and then went to the equipment training area nearby to do a series of fitness exercises.

Exercising on campus is not just for students. Many teachers, especially retired teachers, also like to do morning exercises.

While Hu Mingchen was doing squats and parallel bars, there was a 70-year-old teacher next to him who was listening to the radio and doing leg presses.

The volume of his radio was quite loud. Even though Hu Mingchen was several meters away from him, Hu Mingchen could still basically hear the sound broadcast in the radio clearly.

"...Now for the morning news, today's news, we focus on the first round of heavy rainfall this year. According to the weather conditions released by the Central Meteorological Observatory at 6 o'clock this morning, from yesterday night to today's daytime, most of South China,

Heavy rain fell across most of the south of the Yangtze River, including the middle and lower reaches of the Huanghuai River and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Heavy to heavy rains occurred, especially in southern North China and the western part of the Huanghuai River. Severe strong convective weather occurred. Not only did strong winds of magnitude 7 to 8 appear, but they were also accompanied by extremely heavy rains. The rainfall in other cities, including Weidong City, exceeded

A mere 300 millimeters, the heaviest rainstorm in the past 20 years..."

After hearing this, Li Wenjie couldn't stand it anymore, jumped down from the parallel bars, and walked back quickly.

Damn it, if it’s over 300 millimeters, it’s going to rain a lot.

The calls I made to Wang Zhan and Li Hongjie yesterday were just preliminary preparations. Now it seems that those preparations are really going to be used.

When he returned to the dormitory, Hu Mingchen washed and changed clothes first. After a heavy morning exercise, Hu Mingchen was sweating profusely. If he didn't wash off and change into dry clothes, he would feel sticky and uncomfortable all day long.

When Hu Mingchen came back from the bathroom and changed clothes, he found that everyone in the dormitory was up and gathered around the TV to watch the morning news. Tian Yongjun was the first one standing in front of the TV.

"...The number of people affected by the disaster currently exceeds seven million. In the next twenty hours, there will continue to be heavy rainfall in the area. Local departments, fire officers and soldiers, and garrison commanders have carried out comprehensive rescue work. However, due to the rain, there will be no

stopped, which brought great trouble and difficulty to the rescue work... Audience friends, you see, the road in front of me is the old road.

Jiefang Street, the main road of the city, is currently more than half a meter deep, and many vehicles have stalled in the water... About 1.5 kilometers ahead of me, the railway culvert there has been completely submerged. According to

The information I received from the headquarters is that two vehicles were submerged in the culvert, but as for whether there were casualties, we have to wait for further rescue verification."

"... Audience friends, I rushed from Shangdu City to Weidong City at 5 o'clock this morning. Our car was blocked at the highway intersection. At this time, all the roads leading to the city from the highway intersection were flooded.

The only way to enter the urban area of ​​Weidong is with the help of kayaks and assault boats... Everyone saw that there were more than a hundred cars behind me blocked here and I couldn't move..."

Inside the TV, two reporters were introducing similar disaster situations in the two places.

"Regarding the situation in the disaster area, our frontline reporters are paying close attention to the situation on the front line and will provide us with the latest situation at any time. Now let's pay attention to a set of international news..."

"Oh my god, it's really serious. Even ordinary vehicles can't get in. You can imagine how miserable it will be inside." Turning off the TV, Yu Yi sighed.

"No, I have to go back and take a look. If the city is flooded, it will be even worse over there." Tian Yongjun rubbed his eyes and turned around to pack his luggage.

"Tian Yongjun, you can't be impulsive. If you go back now, it won't have much effect. Since the fire fighters and garrison troops have been mobilized for disaster relief, the problem shouldn't be too big. We have to believe that the superiors will not abandon the people.

No matter." Chen Peng quickly stopped him and advised him.

"Chen Peng, it's not your house that's flooded, so don't worry, but it's my house that's flooded. You told me not to be impulsive. How could I not be impulsive? My whole family is inside." Tian Yongjun waved his arms excitedly.

The way.

"Tian Yongjun, we actually feel the same as you. At this time, the more calm you have to be. As you saw just now, reporters can't even get in and have to wait for the rescue ship. Don't say you won't be able to get there tomorrow if you go out now.

The question is, even if you arrive, how will you get in and swim home? Are you so awesome?" Hu Mingchen put his hand on Tian Yongjun's shoulder and explained patiently.

If Tian Yongjun goes back alone, rationally speaking, it will not be of much use, and it may even add to the burden.

"Should I just stay in school and watch TV? I'm so worried. Even if I can't get to my house, I can join the rescue team nearby and contribute my little bit to the local area. I really can't do that.

You can't be indifferent if you are calm." Tian Yongjun said painfully.

Hu Mingchen thought about it. If it were his own home that was hit by a disaster, he would not be able to sit still like others. He was probably just like him, eager to return home, hoping that he could make a small contribution.

"Tian Yongjun, if you stay in Zhennan, you don't just sit back and watch. You can also make some contributions. Let me tell you, since the local water is so heavy, many people will be flooded, so what do you think the local area needs most now?

?" In order to prevent Tian Yongjun from rushing back, Hu Mingchen took a roundabout way.

"You mean the local area needs supplies the most?" Hao Yang asked.

"Yes, we need supplies, drinking water, dry food, medicine, clothing, tents, etc. To rescue people, there will be local fire fighters, armed police officers and soldiers, and garrison commanders. They will definitely do their best to save people. However, when people are rescued,

What to eat, what to drink, what to wear, and where to live? The water there should not be used directly.

Yes, after the flood, there is nothing left. We can launch a fundraiser in the school, and even lobby caring people in the society to participate. Don’t you think this is very important? Otherwise, people will be rescued.

, Either starve to death or die of illness." After Hu Mingchen affirmed Hao Yang, he said to Tian Yongjun.

Hao Yang's family had a major flood in 1998. Therefore, he knew a little about what materials were most needed during a flood disaster. He already had certain experience and lessons in the local area.

"Yes, this is very important. We can find the student union, which will take the lead, and we will continue to respond and participate. After collecting donations, we will hurry up to purchase supplies and send them over. This is really something we can do now."

"At the student union, I will tell you that when the time comes, we will issue an initiative to all teachers and students. If you have money, contribute money, if you have the ability, if you have materials, contribute funds. Tian Yongjun, what do you think?" Hu Mingchen took the lead and asked.

"...Okay, I listen to you." Tian Yongjun was still very unwilling deep down in his heart, but he also admitted that what Hu Mingchen said was correct and something he could do now.

So, Hu Mingchen immediately went to Wang Jianpeng and told him his thoughts.

When Wang Jianpeng heard that it was to raise funds for the disaster area, it was definitely a good thing and would bring both fame and fortune, so not only did he not object, he agreed immediately on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, important cadres of the student union were urgently notified to hold a meeting to plan and implement such a large-scale event as soon as possible.

However, Hu Mingchen did not attend this meeting because he had more important things to do.

Hu Mingchen found a quiet place to call Chen Xuesheng.

Hu Mingchen instructed Chen Xuesheng to urgently purchase rescue supplies, generators, rubber boats, waterproof flashlights, and of course purified water, instant noodles, biscuits, disinfectants, etc. in several big cities in South China.

"In addition to purchasing these things on a large scale, you also need to contact the freight fleet and be ready to ship these things north at any time. In addition, you also need to find a way to mobilize some technical personnel in the communications field from the company and let them go north to work as soon as possible.

Support. If there is a flood in the area, communications will be interrupted in many places. We must quickly assist them in restoring communications to provide information support for large-scale rescue."

"Xiaochen, is the disaster that serious? I've never heard you say that you would do such a major disaster relief thing before."

"I didn't hear about it before, so why don't I tell you now? Didn't you just hear about it? Now is not the time to waste your words. Let's act quickly. I think the disaster may be more serious than we imagined." Hu Mingchen said solemnly.
