A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 276 Clearing
Dodoma, a villa area in the suburbs.

It was very late at night, and most of the lights had been turned off.

Everyone knows that Africa is a dangerous place, and even though Dodoma is the capital, it's not much better. Robberies and thefts are rampant, and even in villa areas like this, armed personnel patrol the streets.

However, as the night wore on and all the lights were turned off, the situation changed.

The armed black patrolman also seemed somewhat dejected.

Under the cover of night, the five-man mercenary squad bypassed the patrolling armed personnel and easily sneaked into the villa area. Not long after, brief gunshots rang out from the villa area.

The armed personnel on the perimeter immediately perked up.

They all ran towards the direction from which the gunshots came.

After a brief exchange of fire, seven or eight militants were killed.

They were beaten so badly they dared not show their faces again.

The mercenary squad withdrew from the villa area and left triumphantly.

Dar es Salaam.

Wendt was still awake, waiting for news with two shareholder representatives.

The Newmont representative's phone finally rang, and he answered, saying, "Hello!"

The person on the phone said, "Sir, the target has been successfully eliminated."

OK, goodnight!

"good night!"

The Newmont representative hung up the phone and said, "That bastard's been taken care of. We're going to Dodoma tomorrow."

Wendt asked curiously, "Was it a mercenary who made the call?"

"How can it be!"

A Newmont representative stated, "We are a mining company, not murderers. Newmont has no right to get involved in this kind of thing. I will not have any contact with mercenaries. These matters are handled by specialists and have nothing to do with me."

Wendt gave a thumbs up: "Fuck, you big companies are really cunning."

The Newmont representative shrugged: "I take this as a compliment."

Ms. Gina's representative said, "Now that that bastard is dead, we need to deal with those greedy black men as soon as possible. We've already been delayed for a month, and the rainy season in the Democratic Republic of Congo is coming soon. If we delay until the rainy season, it will be very troublesome to move the equipment."

Wendt nodded: "Of course, you'll go to Dodoma tomorrow."

……

In Bei'an, Jiang Ning is attending a meeting in the county.

The theme was a seminar on the development of the cultural and tourism industry.

Jiang Ning and Lao Yang were both called to a meeting. The relevant departments put forward a draft and proposed some plans, such as building a scenic cultural tourism town and infrastructure such as a visitor service center next to the second venue.

But one tourist town alone is not enough.

No matter how well a small town is built, it won't attract tourists.

The key is to develop other tourism projects based on the farm.

The two venues are scenic spots in themselves; with the addition of some supporting facilities, they could become excellent tourist attractions.

Jiang Ning listened without saying a word, feeling that these people were even more daring than Zhao Kuo.

Many of these decisions were made on a whim.

We discussed it for a long time.

One of the deputies even asked Jiang Ning, "Mr. Jiang, could you also develop a few tourism projects?"

Jiang Ning directly refused: "Two games are fine, but I won't bother with just one."

The other party didn't ask any more questions, and Jiang Ning didn't say anything more either.

Some people ask, "Just do what you think is best, I won't offer any opinions."

I sat until the meeting ended, then left with Lao Yang. We got into the car.

Old Yang was worried: "Your refusal might offend someone."

Jiang Ning said nonchalantly, "So what if I offended you? If you won't let me do it, I'll just sell the farm!"

Old Yang sighed, "It can't be that bad."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized: "The poor have nothing, so they need to start businesses. The rich second generation can live a life of wealth and luxury as long as they don't start businesses. It's the same with places. Every boss has a new idea. Starting a business is the real way to squander your wealth."

Old Yang pondered for a moment: "This angle is quite novel."

Jiang Ning retorted, "It's nothing new. Some people have said long ago that starting a business is the biggest waste of resources, but in the past, that was usually referring to people. Actually, the same applies to places. Bei'an can't compare to those strong counties, but now it's the best it's been in decades. Old Lu worked for several years without daring to waste resources and only dealt with historical issues. Before he left, he even resolved the debt burden. As long as there's no more turmoil and they focus on developing real industries, Bei'an will only get better and better. It's a pity that no one wants to follow the old path of their predecessors. Everyone wants to have their own things. After all the turmoil, they'll eventually return to where they started. So, who's really wasting resources?"

Old Yang agreed in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

I ate lunch at home.

Feng Yu then showed her phone to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning glanced at it: "What is that?"

Feng Yu said, "Look at this child."

Jiang Ning took a closer look and saw a little girl dressed in tattered clothes.

They looked to be five or six years old, probably left-behind children in rural areas.

There are plenty of poor people in the world.

People are dying every day in Africa, a huge number of people are dying.

Jiang Ning was already indifferent: "There are plenty of poor people out there, you can't possibly pity them all."

Feng Yu was a little depressed: "Society is getting better and better, so why aren't there fewer poor people?"

This question seems to be directed at oneself.

In fact, everyone has the answer in their heart.

Jiang Ning continued, “The root cause of poverty has nothing to do with the means of production, but with the system and the allocation of resources. It has been the same from ancient times to the present: a small number of people eat meat, while the vast majority eat bran.”

Feng Yu nodded, then suddenly had an idea: "I don't have much to do, and taking care of the kids all day is quite boring. What do you think about me doing some charity work and helping those left-behind children?"

Jiang Ning: "..."

They act on a whim.

Feng Xue nodded, saying, "That's good."

Feng Yu perked up, and her thoughts became clearer: "I can't stay at home taking care of the child forever, otherwise I'll go crazy. When Tian Tian gets older, I'll have to find something to do. Anyway, our family doesn't need me to earn money. I think doing charity work would be good. The farm has put so much money in my and my sister's accounts, we can't spend it all. So we'll take out some of it to help those in need, just as a way to do good for Tian Tian."

Jiang Ning was speechless: "If you're going to do charity, just do charity. Why are you bringing up accumulating good karma for your daughter?"

Feng Yu said, "It's about doing good deeds and accumulating merit!"

Jiang Ning didn't argue with her and asked, "Do you really want to do it?"

Feng Yu nodded and said, "Doing good deeds can make people happy. I think doing public welfare is a good thing."

Jiang Ning said, "If you really want to do it, then I'll just have the farm set up a charity fund. It just so happens that Lao Lu also wants to get involved in charity, so let Lao Lu be in charge, and you can also be listed as an assistant to Lao Lu."

Feng Yu asked in surprise, "Secretary Lu is going to do charity work?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Old Lu is a very compassionate person. He is planning to find a public welfare organization that focuses on disabled and sick children to work for."

Feng Yu exclaimed in admiration, "Secretary Lu is indeed a person with great love."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I feel at ease leaving him to manage a charity fund I set up."

Feng Yushen agreed, saying, "There are very few people who can maintain their composure in that position these days. There's nothing to worry about in letting Secretary Lu take charge. But does Secretary Lu agree?"

Jiang Ning took out her phone: "I'll call and ask right now."
