The information provided by Sun Mei surprised Meng Jinxing.

When he returned to the county in the evening, he called Chen Yunlai and asked him: "Wang Huaian, Yao Cunzhi is the friend you brought, right?"

"That's right, how did you know?" Chen Yunlai asked curiously.

Meng Jinxing sighed secretly and then said: "These two people did not go back to Yandang, but went to the investment promotion office. Tonight, Chu Feng invited them to dinner at Jinlun to talk about Lao Xiongling's investment in the gold mine."

"What?" Chen Yunlai shouted in shock, and his voice fell silent for a moment. After a long time, he asked again, "Jinxing, are you sure it's them?"

"It can't be wrong." Meng Jinxing affirmed.

"These two bastards, mess with me!" There was obvious anger in Chen Yunlai's voice, "Jinxing, you asked me to let this matter go, and I did as you asked. But now, it's obvious that they don't believe me.

, I still want to swallow this project! A person has a face, a tree has a skin, and I can’t swallow this. So, hello, come forward, I won’t wait for this!"

Chen Yunlai didn't give Meng Jinxing any room to speak anymore and hung up the phone directly.

Meng Jinxing's face darkened.

…

After Chen Yunlai met Meng Jinxing, he basically took root in Sangyu to do business, but this does not mean that all his relationships are only with Meng Jinxing.

The biggest characteristic of Yandang people is that they are good at making up. All good and bad situations will become useful opportunities in their hands.

After being kidnapped by Feng Haiyang from the 612 Task Force and nearly losing his life, he unceremoniously filed an administrative lawsuit. Cai Kuangzheng and others advised him not to do so, lest it be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Southwest Province, especially Shanghai, in the future, but he

He has a firm attitude and won't give in no matter who tries to persuade him.

But when Cheng Pengfei, deputy secretary of the Canal Provincial Party Committee, called him and then saw Chi Xiangrong in Cheng Pengfei's office, he took the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit.

When Cai Kuangzheng and others asked about the reason for withdrawing the lawsuit, he always smiled and said nothing.

This is the brilliance of Chen Yun as a person.

After doing business in the southwest and returning home with a good fortune, Chen Yunlai donated a lot of money in Yandang. As a result, he not only gained a higher and higher status in the Yandang Chamber of Commerce step by step, but also because of the continuous expansion of the scope of charity donations, he gradually became a member of the County CPPCC and became a CPPCC member.

, a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, his political status rose continuously, and he got acquainted with a group of senior officials in Yandang and Canal Provinces.

In that kidnapping, he judged from the fact that he was able to escape safely in the end that most of the leaders of the Southwest Provincial Committee and Provincial Government were upright. Although his filing of administrative lawsuits would bring disgrace to them, they would not bear any grudge against him.

But it is very likely that he will do his work through the canal relationship.

And he had made up his mind from the beginning to use this as an opportunity to connect with the leaders of Southwest Province, and he could not rely on Meng Jinxing for everything.

The result was naturally what he expected. Not only did he meet Chi Xiangrong through Cheng Pengfei, but Chi Xiangrong introduced him to Luo Min and Lu Tiecheng. In the end, he not only withdrew the lawsuit, but also donated a sum of money to the Provincial Public Security Department.

A batch of computers worth 500,000 yuan.

Chen Yunlai's "Advance and Retreat" seems simple on the surface, but in fact, the timing, scheming and manipulation in the middle are not something ordinary people can learn and do well. This is why there are more or less businessmen in the world who always make more small money than big money.

few.

A gold mine was discovered in Laoxiong Ridge, and Meng Jinxing told him to be quiet, but Wang and Yao secretly crossed over to Chencang, and the person they caught up with was the county magistrate Chu Feng.

If it was a small business, he would tolerate it for Meng Jinxing.

But in a gold mine, who would treat a large sum of money like dirt?

He couldn't bear it, but he couldn't make it difficult for Meng Jin. The only way was to get out of Lanzhi County and find people at the provincial and municipal levels.

Naturally, he couldn't just ask Chi Xiangrong. After all, Chi Xiangrong was in charge of the political and legal affairs, but that didn't stop him from asking Chi Xiangrong to help him say hello.

The day after Meng Jinxing had a phone call with him, he returned to Dujiang halfway and made an appointment with Chi Xiangrong and Sun Lingkai for dinner in order to pay New Year greetings.

At the dinner table, Chen Yunlai showed off the gold horseshoe.

Although Chi Xiangrong and Sun Lingkai were both mature and prudent, they still showed expressions of surprise and joy at the same time when they saw the rare golden horse hoof.

"Sun Ting, do you have a geological museum in your hall?" Chen Yunlai asked with a smile on his face when he saw Sun Lingkai looking attentively.

"Yes, after the merger of the two departments, taking into account the special geological structure of our province, the department plans to retain the geological museum and expand it. The design drawings are already in progress."

When Sun Lingkai said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yunlai, "I remember Xiao Meng said that you have a construction company, don't you want to take this job?"

Chen Yunlai chuckled and said: "Even if you are willing to hand over the project to me, I don't have the guts to take it. My construction company is not qualified enough. If the construction is good, it's fine. If the construction is not good, I won't show your face."

Lost it?"

When Sun Lingkai heard what he said, he felt very relaxed and smiled: "Then what do you want to ask the Geological Museum?"

Chen Yunlai pointed to the piece of gold horseshoe, "Although this thing is not as precious as the gold nugget, it is still a rare thing. I plan to donate it."

"Really?" Chi Xiangrong and Sun Lingkai asked in unison.

"Can I tell lies in front of two provincial leaders?" Chen Yunlai shook his head and smiled.

Sun Lingkai looked at Chen Yunlai for a long time, pointed at him and shook his head and said: "There is no need for you to ask Secretary Chi and me for donating this thing. Just finish it in one go!"

Chen Yunlai picked up the teapot and poured tea for Chi and Sun. "You can't hide anything from the two leaders! Is that so? I heard that the Geological Museum and the Provincial Exploration Institute both had shares in the Provincial No. 2 Mining Company?"

Sun Lingkai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You kid, you have a big appetite! Did you hear about the restructuring of the Second Mine?"

Chen Yunlai nodded, "I established a resources company on Hong Kong Island. I heard that these two units can no longer participate in the restructuring of the secondary mine due to policy issues, but no one has dared to take over."

Sun Lingkai nodded and said: "Yes. The international energy market prices have been falling in recent years. Not to mention the small coal mines, the big companies actually have a heavier burden and are struggling to survive! The second mine has been losing money for seven or eight years in a row.

Debt, the Provincial State-owned Assets Bureau and the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau have talked with many companies, and many companies were very interested at first, but when the detailed audit was carried out, all of them were scared away."

Sun Lingkai was close to Meng Jinxing, and he knew that Chen Yunlai and Meng Jinxing had a close relationship, so he told them directly, but that was the limit. After all, the Second Mine was a headache for everyone in the department. If someone could take over,

He considers internal work and cannot turn him away.

Chen Yunlai smiled easily, "The business scope of the Second Mine should be more than just coal, right?"

"Having said that, there must be mines! Our province is now a mining reform pilot area designated by the central government. Environmentally friendly mining was written into the document during the two sessions. The mining of metal and non-metal minerals has been restricted.

For many regional economies, it has been somewhat affected," Sun Lingkai said cautiously.

"I don't think so." Chen Yunlai said, "Sun Ting, you see, environmentally friendly mining is mainly aimed at indiscriminate mining. Even if an enterprise like the Second Mine has suffered losses for many years, it is the economy and not the corporate system that is losing money.

, there must be its own set of detailed regulations on how to protect the environment while mining."

"That's true." Sun Lingkai nodded.

Chen Yunlai picked up the piece of horseshoe gold on the table, "Where I found this piece, there is definitely an unexploited gold vein!"

Sun Lingkai was shocked, "Impossible! In the past five years, we have carried out general surveys across the country. We have basically figured out where there are mines and where there are no mines in the southwest. If there is a gold mine there, the reserves must be limited, and the cost of mining is far greater than the acquisition."

Chen Yunlai shook his head, took out a yellowed thread-bound book and an old purple leather-bound diary from his bag, and placed them in front of Sun Lingkai, "This is the Lanzhi County Chronicle of the Ming Dynasty that I bought when I went to the Netherlands not long ago.

and the diary of the Dutch envoy Van Horn in the seventeenth century, which respectively recorded the discovery of gold veins at Laoxiong Ridge in Lanzhi and the discovery by the Dutch East India Company in Laoxiong Ridge. In the Ming Dynasty, many people lived in the Laoxiong Ridge area.

As tough barbarians, the Han people discovered that there were rich gold mines here, but they could only look at the gold and sigh because it was difficult to enter. The reason why the Dutch did not open this gold mine in Laoxiong Ridge in the end was because

Two East India Company representatives died of cholera at that time, and Van Horn himself deeply admired the values ​​expressed in The Analects, and he was determined to leave this wealth to the Chinese..."

Chi Xiangrong and Sun Lingkai picked up the county annals and diaries in surprise. After a long time, Sun Lingkai murmured: "But why didn't we discover it during the exploration in the 1950s?"

Chen Yunlai chuckled and said: "After I saw these two things, Jinxing invited me to invest in Lanzhi. I think this is God's will. But after purchasing the exploration results from Dujiang Diyuan, I also had the idea

You have the same question as Sun Ting, and you also suspect that the two things you bought in the Netherlands are fake?"

Chi Xiangrong continued: "Yes, if Wenwan is real or fake, even a veteran might stumble, let alone others?"

Chen Yunlai shook his head and said: "It's a coincidence that I was so disappointed at the time that I looked at the exploration results in my hand and blurted out my doubts. I didn't expect that the old comrade who received me was an apprentice of the exploration team.

, According to him, the banditry in Laoxiong Ridge was serious at that time, and the bandit suppression team often fought with the bandits in that area, so there was no exploration there at all. After the 1960s, this area of ​​work became even more neglected, and no one even mentioned it later.

Gone."

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Sun Lingkai sighed with emotion that Lanzhi might have a large gold reserve.

Chen Yunlai smiled and said nothing.

In fact, what he just said was half-truth and half-false. The Ming Dynasty county records were true, but Fan Horn's diary was a forgery made by someone else. In fact, he had no idea whether the Laoxiong Ridge gold mine was really rich in reserves.
