After traveling thousands of miles, Liu Ziguang and his party finally returned to the motherland. After shaking hands with Chen Jinlin at the Capital Airport and saying goodbye, he took Lang Yulin and went straight to Hu Qingsong. They started making phone calls on the airport bus. After many twists and turns, they contacted him, only to learn that he was
I am waiting at the Capital Airport for my flight to New Delhi...
com..
Turning back again, I finally saw Hu Qingsong in the terminal of the Capital Airport. Lang Yulin hurriedly opened the box, took out the mineral sample and the report and handed it to him, but Hu Qingsong said: "No, I believe you, but the key issue is not here.
.”
"Where is that?" Lang Yulin looked confused.
"The key lies in who rules this country. This is the gate of life. Otherwise, whether it is 30 million tons or 3 billion tons of reserves, it is meaningless to us." Hu Qingsong looked at his watch, stood up and talked to Liu Ziguang.
Shaking hands, he added: "You know what I mean."
"I understand, have a nice trip." Liu Ziguang said goodbye to Hu Qingsong, turned around and left. Lang Yulin followed closely behind him with his suitcase and asked: "What does he mean? Isn't he willing to invest?"
Liu Ziguang stopped and smiled: "No, he is willing to invest, but requires us to do a more important thing first."
"What?"
"We need to establish cooperative and mutually beneficial friendly relations with the people in power in Western Saddamoa. This is the first priority."
"Isn't this forcing someone to do something difficult? Kuba is a murderous executioner without blinking an eye. We have no money and no power, so why should we be friends with him?"
"Of course I will not make friends with him. I will defeat him and put one of my own on the throne."
Lang Yulin's face was full of disbelief. This was too exaggerated. A Chinese businessman who was heavily in debt wanted to intervene in a foreign civil war. Mr. Liu was probably going crazy.
…
The two of them visited Professor Yu with mineral samples and gifts. This time, they were not in a dormitory on Xueyuan Road but in a mansion in Dongcheng District. Professor Yu carefully checked the map and analyzed the mineral samples before taking off his reading glasses.
Said: "You are right, this deposit is quite complex, and the reserves must exceed 100 million tons, but the specific estimate can only be obtained after further investigation. I am too old to go to places like Africa."
Liu Ziguang said: "Professor Yu, just sign your name on the report. If it hadn't been for the few points you pointed out, we wouldn't have been able to find the mineral vein."
"Okay." Professor Yu agreed readily, signed his name on the report, and said: "Let me give you a tip, Xiao Liu, aren't you familiar with Mr. Fei? He has a friend in Huaxia Mining
Being at the top of the development group should be able to help."
Without waiting for Liu Ziguang to answer, Professor Yu called Mr. Fei, greeted him warmly and said: "Mr. Fei, I need your help with something like this..." Then he walked to the balcony with his cell phone and elaborated.
It took ten minutes for him to come back, and he said with a red face: "It's settled, you go find him now, I'll write down the address for you, and by the way, it's best to give Mr. Fei a copy of that gift, as human courtesy is always
You have to do it.”
Professor Yu was referring to the cabinda bark brought by Liu Ziguang. This stuff has been very popular in the capital and is hard to find. It is definitely the first choice for gifts.
Coming out of Professor Yu's house, Liu Ziguang said: "I'm sorry, old man. Although this is your work, this report will only be recognized by others if Professor Yu's name is signed."
"I understand." Lang Yulin said sincerely, and then asked: "Are you still going to Mr. Fei's place?"
"Go, of course you have to go. If you have any jujubes, take a shot."
Obviously, Lang Yulin was frightened by the name of China Mining Development Group. Mr. Fei didn't know him, but he knew China Mining Development Group. It was a key giant state-owned enterprise directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. It implemented transnational operations and had strong capital.
Incomparably, since its financing and listing on the Shanghai Securities Market in the late 1990s, it has been successively selected as sample stocks of various component indexes. It is a well-known blue chip stock in the domestic securities market, with a stock price of more than 100 yuan. It is also among the best in the Forbes rankings and is an internationally renowned black stock.
Metal comprehensive service provider.
It was still cold in the capital in March. The two of them had just returned from Africa. They were still wearing old winter clothes that had been stored in the box for several months. They looked very wrinkled and shabby. When they arrived at the door of the high-end residential complex where Mr. Fei lived, there was unexpectedly...
I was stopped by the security guard and asked strictly before I was allowed to go.
Mr. Fei entertained them warmly. After accepting the gift happily, he gave Liu Ziguang a business card and said, "This man is the secretary to the board of directors of Huaxia Mining. He is young and promising and has a broad vision. You will have no problem finding him."
Liu Ziguang saw that Mr. Fei was neatly dressed and even put his bag in the hall. He understood that he still had something to do, so he collected the business card and stood up to say goodbye, and went straight to Huaxia Mining Development Group with Lang Yulin.
In the magnificent hall of Huaxia Mining Development Group, a graceful front desk lady received them. After calling the secretary's office to confirm, she carefully pointed them in the direction of the secretary's office.
The two of them walked towards the elevator. Young Master Yu Lin was dazzled by the luxurious furnishings in the hall, especially the bright giant crystal chandelier, which made him full of praise: "My dear, this chandelier costs at least a million!"
The office of the Secretary to the Board is on the fifty-eighth floor of the building, which is also the floor where the top management of the group is located. There is soft background music in the corridor, and the thick carpet is very comfortable underfoot. No one comes to interrogate them because of their every move.
Every movement is monitored by cameras everywhere.
When he arrived at the door of the secretary's office, he knocked lightly and heard a loud reply from inside: "Please come in."
When you open the door, you feel suddenly enlightened. The large office is full of sunlight and offers an unobstructed view of the capital. The furnishings are unconventional and full of modernity without sacrificing luxury.
The secretary-general was a young man in his twenties, tall and handsome, with a lively expression. He enthusiastically invited the two guests from afar to sit on the sofa, pressed the intercom and asked for two cups of coffee, and then
He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of them, and said sincerely: "Mr. Fei called me and said that you have a very rich iron ore on your hands."
"Yes, this is our exploration report, here are the mineral samples, and there are copies of the legal documents for the area where the mineral deposits are located." Liu Ziguang said straight to the point.
"Oh, that's it." Secretary Dong picked up the report and looked at it carefully, then took the mineral sample in a small plastic bag and weighed it, and praised: "The taste is very good."
Liu Ziguang and Lang Yulin looked at each other, feeling secretly happy that they had finally found the right person this time.
At this time, the service staff came in with coffee. The secretary-general looked at the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist and said, "I'm really sorry. There will be a board meeting in ten minutes. Please sit down for a while."
Liu Ziguang stood up quickly and said: "Then don't bother me. If you are interested, you can call me." After saying that, he handed over his business card. Secretary Dong took it with both hands, then took out his own business card and presented it to the two of them.
, introduced himself: "Yi Yongheng, just call me Xiao Yi."
"Thank you. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate. Goodbye." The two parties said goodbye. Yi Yongheng politely sent them to the door, turned back, threw the report into the wastebasket, pressed the bell and said: "Call the cleaners to collect it."
Put down the trash.”
A minute later, the cleaner came in and took away the box of mineral samples. At this time, Liu Ziguang and Lang Yulin were still happily discussing the prospects of future cooperation in the elevator.
The two of them stayed in the hotel that night, waiting full of hope for Yi Yongheng's call. In their view, this was explosive news that was enough to cause a sensation in China Mining Development Group. Maybe the board of directors was already meeting to discuss the matter, but until midnight
There were no phone calls until the next night when Liu Ziguang couldn't hold himself back anymore and took the initiative to call Yi Yongheng.
"Mr. Yi, I am Liu Ziguang. We met yesterday about the ore..."
"Hello Mr. Liu, I have reported the iron ore matter to the senior management. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible. I am about to board the plane. Can I contact you again when I return to China?" the background voice of Secretary Dong Yi's mobile phone.
Very noisy, obviously in a bar.
"That's it, okay, bye." Liu Ziguang put down the phone with a calm look on his face.
"What should I say?" Lang Yulin came over and asked hopefully.
"No chance." Liu Ziguang said.
…
Lang Yulin didn't know the reason for the failure until a week later. He saw Yi Yongheng on the CCTV midday news program. At this time, Secretary Yi was accompanying the president of China Mining Development Group to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the African Mining Company in Sierra Leone, Africa. Huaxia
The mining industry will invest one billion U.S. dollars to acquire a 20% stake in the Tangkelili iron ore project. This is also the third Chinese company to invest in the Tangkelili iron ore after China Railway Materials Corporation and Shangang Group.
The mine's recoverable reserves are as high as 10 billion tons, which can fully meet the needs of Chinese steel companies.
The news spoke highly of Huaxia Mining Development Group's initiative to go abroad and bypass the monopoly of the three giants to obtain high-quality and cheap iron ore supplies. It said that this is a win-win cooperation plan that not only solves the problem of the Chinese team's iron ore
It has also promoted China-Africa friendship and created a large number of job opportunities for local people.
Lang Yulin turned off the TV angrily, took a car and went straight to Liu Ziguang's office. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Do you know that we have been tricked?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Liu?" Liu Ziguang was calculating accounts with a calculator. He raised his head and asked in surprise.
"That secretary to the board of directors of Huaxia Mining Development Co., Ltd. is clearly trying to deal with us. They have invested in an iron mine overseas. As everyone knows, Tang Kerili has a grade of only 29%. Such poor iron ores are everywhere in the country. They are looking far away for the near future.
Giving money to foreigners is really messy!"
Lang Yulin was furious, but Liu Ziguang disagreed: "So what, state-owned enterprises, what they want is performance, why should well-known foreign companies refuse to cooperate and have to invest money in unknown ordinary people?"
"However, African Mining is just a leather company. Even though its name is quite impressive, the boss is actually a Romanian and Australian dual national. Under his name are African Mining, African Petroleum, International Petroleum, Green Energy, etc.
, are all leather goods companies registered in Bermuda.”
Liu Ziguang smiled: "Old man, I didn't realize that you know a lot."
"I also just came out of Baidu. In short, this business is not suitable. Foreigners do business differently from us Chinese. They are shameless and only want money. When they get benefits, they turn their backs and disown others. It is not like our state-owned enterprises, which do business internationally.
He just wants to show his face but not money, and just do stupid things to make a profit at a loss." Lang Yulin said angrily.
"Forget it, Lao Lang, calm down, don't worry about face or money, it's always a win-win situation for everyone, we have enough headaches with our own affairs, how can we care about them." Liu Ziguang said and handed Lang Yulin a cigarette.
.
Lang Yulin was stunned: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"I'm bankrupt and have no money to pay your labor fees." Liu Ziguang said calmly.
Lang Yulin was stunned. The flame of the lighter burned for a long time. It was so hot that he flicked the lighter and flew into the wastepaper basket.
He hurried to the wastebasket to find a lighter, but saw a pile of inconspicuous stones.
"Mr. Liu, where did you get these raw jade stones?" Lang Yulin exclaimed.
