Chapter 695: Three Three Four
Although Zhao Ying was unwilling to doubt what Wang Xiaoyan said and did not want to think so complicatedly, but the facts were right in front of her, and she couldn't help but think so.
After looking at the production date marked on the box, it was only recently produced. Zhao Ying sighed secretly and carefully put the box back as it was.
She was a little sad and a little disappointed. She didn't understand why Wang Xiaoyan wanted to deceive herself. Even if she told the truth, what could she do? Tianyu was very fickle, and she didn't know that even if she had anything to Tianyu, she wouldn't say anything more. Moreover, she had no right to say anything more.
But now? Zhao Ying felt like a fool, deceived by her best friend. Zhao Ying really thought that all this was a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding, but the possibility seemed very small.
Lying quietly in the bathtub, Zhao Ying's mind was blank. I wonder how to face Wang Xiaoyan and Tianyu in the future... Should it be like before, or, as if it were strangers?
Zhao Ying is really embarrassed...
…………………………
To be precise, Huang Lele was deceived home. The eldest brother called and said that his father had something to ask her, but he didn't mention a word about the marriage. It was not until Huang Lele returned home that he knew that there was something wrong with his family's investment in Africa!
In the second half of last year, the Huang family invested in a giant gold mine in a small country in Africa and spent 5 billion US dollars to purchase the mine's 100-year mining rights.
Of course, most of the money comes from bank loans. In addition to this purchase, the mining equipment and early employment also cost nearly one billion US dollars. In summary, the total investment of the Huang family in this steel mine exceeded six billion US dollars.
However, based on the amount of original ore contained in this mine, it will take less than a hundred years to recover the cost in about twenty years, and all of the future will be pure profits!
How could such a huge profit make Huang Rongtian, the boss of the Huang family, not moved? After discussing with the old man Huang Xiaofei at home, he suppressed all his worth.
However, Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei both made a fatal mistake, which is to ignore the political situation in African countries! In such a country where government changes faster than season change, it is not something that ordinary people can participate in!
It's only been more than half a year. The provisional government that signed the contract before collapsed.
The former president also swept the money and absconded. He thought that after the new government came to power, in order to gain the support of the public, he would not change the contracts signed by these merchants before. In fact, most of the contracts did not change, only the Huang family's contracts, which others refused to admit.
Other businessmen have more or less private armed forces in the local area, and no matter which government comes to power, they will not easily anger them.
But the Huang family is different. They are just a businessman and have no support in Country X. So as soon as the new provisional government was established, it tore up the previous contract between the government and the Huang family. They wanted to squeeze out a large amount of military expenditure from the Huang family. Of course, if the Huang family cannot afford the money, it would be fine. The younger brother of the newly appointed acting president General Carls is an iron ore owner who handed the mine directly to him to manage it and didn't even have to buy equipment.
Due to the collapse of the provisional government of this small country and the regime changed, the contract signed by the Huang family before became a piece of waste paper. If they wanted to continue to develop, they had to sign an agreement with the new regime leaders again.
However, the other party offered a very outrageous condition and had to charge 5 billion US dollars of gold mining rights. Although the contract seemed to be very generous and signed a two hundred-year agreement, Huang Rongtian also understood that these two hundred years were all false. Even if he signed an agreement of 1,000 years, the newly established regime would still not recognize it after the collapse of this provisional government.
The Huang family will never allow such acts of destroying bridges across the river and wanting to pick peaches from their own hands. The Huang family is also a prominent family in Singapore and has a very social status. Can they bear such bullying?
Huang Rongtian immediately asked General Carls to argue, but when the black muzzle hit Huang Rongtian's head, Huang Rongtian suddenly woke up.
In this small African country without diplomacy and joining the United Nations, there is no law to speak of. It can be said that the supreme leader here is the law, and he killed all those who disobey him.
Huang Rongtian was so careful that he went back to General Carls' sneer, not daring to mention any meaning.
However, not daring to speak too much does not mean that the Huang family does nothing! Because Huang Rongtian is unwilling to accept that his money is so big, the water is wasted. However, he asked him to take out another 5 billion US dollars. It is simply a fantasy!
Most of the previous five billion were mortgaged by the current industry and loaned from banks. Now there is a problem with the mines in Africa. It would be good if the banks were not in a hurry to urge loans, let alone bring a sum of money in the bank.
Just when Huang Rongtian was a little desperate, he suddenly got a very important news! The Li family also wanted to invest in the mineral mining industry in Africa! The Li family is a big family, and the financial resources of the Huang family are comparable to the Huang family. However, the businesses that were originally operated by the two companies are different and there are few opportunities for cooperation. Now I heard that the Li family is also preparing to invest in the industry. Huang Rongtian immediately became interested and found Li Tianjia, the current helmsman of the Li family. Moreover, according to reliable information, the Li family had business dealings with General Carls, which is the most important point!
Li Tianjia and Huang Rongtian are about the same age as they are the eldest son of Li Zhicheng, the oldest man of the Li family. Li Tianjia is very calm about Huang Rongtian's purpose. He did not agree or disagree, but just said he would consider it.
When Huang Rongtian saw Li Tianjia's lukewarm attitude, he knew that this was quite unlucky. After all, there was not much benefit. Why should he join you?
In order to tie Li Tianjia to the united chariot, Huang Rongtian proposed the marriage. At the beginning, Li Tianjia was not very interested, but when he saw the photos on Huang Rongtian's phone, his eyes immediately turned straight. Huang Rongtian called him several times, and Li Tianjia came to his senses a little embarrassedly.
However, Huang Rongtian didn't care at all, but was a little happy. It seemed that Li Tianjia was interested in Lele, so there was a way to do this.
Sure enough, Li Tianjia pretended to shirk a few words and said, "Oh my God, I don't object to marriage. Our two families are both famous families and are also well-matched. However, we have to discuss this marriage with our parents, right? In principle, I agree with my father, but I have to discuss it!"
"Then it's no problem!" Huang Rongtian said happily after hearing this.
After Huang Rongtian left, Li Tianjia told his father Li Zhicheng about Huang Rongtian's purpose. Of course, even Huang Rongtian's marriage was not concealed. After hearing what Li Tianjia told him, Li Zhicheng did not immediately make a statement. He is different from Huang Rongtian's father. Huang Rongtian's father Huang Xiaofei has handed most of the power to Huang Rongtian. But Li Zhicheng did not. He is still in control of decision-making power for all major events.
"Father, I think this matter is very beneficial to us!" Li Tianjia couldn't help but say when he saw that his father did not express his opinion.
"Do you like the girl of the Huang family?" Li Zhicheng saw through his son's thoughts at a glance.
"I..." Li Tianjia's face turned red. As his father said, he really fell in love with Huang Lele.
"Marriage is a big deal, and investment in Africa is even more important!" Li Zhicheng said slowly: "Although we have cooperated with General Carls, our personal relationship is not very close. Moreover, General Carls has taken office now, and now it is different from the past. My face may not work! The money that I have finally found cannot be given up just by my words, right?"
Li Tianjia nodded silently. Yes, what his father said is indeed the truth. After all, this is not a trivial matter.
"If we participate in this matter, there will definitely be benefits, but the key is whether it is cost-effective or not!" Li Zhicheng sighed and said, "If it is just cooperation, I might have agreed, but this marriage... you should know. Once the marriage is done, then our Li family and the Huang family will sit in the same chariot and advance and retreat together... At that time, even if you want to escape, you will not be able to escape!"
"I understand..." Li Tianjia said: "Father, I won't think about it anymore."
"Haha, I didn't say it was completely unavailable!" Li Zhicheng said with some amusement when he saw his son's appearance: "Let me think about it, let me consider it and see if this matter is cost-effective. Then I will find time to talk to General Carls to see if I can buy my face!"
General Carls received financial support from Li Zhicheng when he conquered the world. Although his current identity is just as great as his original one, General Carls is a nostalgic person. After hearing the call, he called Li Zhicheng, so he started greeting him enthusiastically.
However, when Li Zhicheng asked about the gold mine invested by the Huang family, he was a little embarrassed. Logically, he should give Li Zhicheng face, but if he gives it, the money will be gone. So he hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, you know too. I just came on stage and I have to use money everywhere... If..."
"I understand what you mean, but I will also participate in this gold mine in partnership, so I hope to reduce the rent in terms of some..." Li Zhicheng said.
"I'll think about it, and then we'll contact you." General Carls could not give Li Zhicheng a complete face after all, so he agreed to consider it. Baidu search and read the latest and most complete novel (to be continued...)
