Hamid said without hesitation: "Okay, just follow my brother's method."
After saying that, he hurriedly asked: "Brother, do you have any other suggestions or instructions?"
Ye Chen said: "In addition, you must immediately purchase a large amount of food and medicine and store them in a dry and safe environment. For the first time, you must save enough food for more than three years.
Hamid exclaimed: "With so many adults in three years, at least 200 kilograms of grain will be needed a year. If there are two thousand people, it will be 400 tons. In three years, it will be 1,200 tons."
Ye Chen asked back: "Then let me ask you, how much does 1,200 tons of grain cost?"
Hamid thought for a while and said: "The current market price of wheat is about US$300 per ton, 1,200 tons, including transportation costs, which is US$400,000. The money is not much, but there are so many key points.
How to store grain? Besides, it won’t taste good if it’s stored for a long time.”
Ye Chen said helplessly: "Now I ask you to make strategic reserves, not to let you eat fresh food every day
"Think about it, you first keep three years of rations in your hands, and then purchase and replenish them every year based on the actual consumption that year.
In this way, you will always have an extra three years of food rations in your hand.
"And as long as grain is stored properly, it won't go bad after three years. The climate in the Middle East is relatively dry, so it's easier to preserve. In this way, you can replace the oldest batch of grain with a new batch every other year."
Using this method, you can ensure that the food stored in your hands will not exceed three years.
Once the opponent cannot defeat you and prepares to surround you and trap you to death, even if you cannot bring in any food, you can still carry it for three years.
Saying that, Ye Chen concluded: The same principle applies to weapons, ammunition and medicines. Stock up on more and plan for cycle rotation. You must have strategic reserves in your hands to prevent others from fighting a protracted war with you.
.
Hamid suddenly realized it and exclaimed: "Brother, I understand this trick is great.
Ye Chen said helplessly: "What's wonderful? In China, everyone who has studied in elementary school knows this truth. Fortunately, you have come to China to study. Why don't you study the history of China?
Hamid said with embarrassment and shame: "Hey, at that time I mainly wanted to go to China to get rich and practice Chinese well. I really neglected other aspects."
After saying that, he immediately said: "Brother, I understand what you mean. The main thing is to do everything possible to use the 100 million US dollars to strengthen the defense. Not only the defenses must be strengthened, but also sufficient defense materials must be prepared. Don't worry,
I will arrange for people to purchase food, ammunition and medicine, as well as some infrastructure equipment and building materials.
Ye Chen hummed and said: "In this case, the defense and material problems can basically be solved. However, there is another problem that you need to take action immediately.
