The image on the top right corner of the TV paused for a moment before jumping to the next piece of news.
"This week, a citizen found an ownerless ore in the 1825 Arts District. The ore is square and about five centimeters tall. The photo is shown … The person who provides the clue will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan."
In the photo, there was a crystal clear green stone that looked like a precious gemstone.
Hao Ren looked at the photo and found it familiar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and thought, "Isn't this a low-tier spirit stone?" He thought. It was most likely the spirit stone that slipped out of the two storage bags he found on the rooftop of the 1825 Arts District … "
"I know about this." Yue Yang took the opportunity to change the topic. "This stone was picked up and sent to the antique market for appraisal. However, no one could recognize what kind of gemstone it was, so they couldn't appraise it casually. They were afraid that it was radioactive, so they sent it to the East Ocean City Mineral and Rock New Material Research Center.
The result was … "Hao Ren and Xie Yujia both looked at Yue Yang as they listened to her words.
"The result was that this stone wasn't a gemstone, but it wasn't radioactive and wasn't harmful to the human body. Also, this stone was very fragile and couldn't be carved or processed. That was why the Material Research Center bought it for 500 yuan, "Yue Yang continued.
Just when Hao Ren was about to heave a sigh of relief, Yue Yang continued, "That was the end for the outside world. However, it wasn't that simple. The Material Research Center confirmed that this stone wasn't a gemstone, but they couldn't determine what kind of stone it was. Therefore, they handed it over to the provincial research center, and the provincial research center then handed it over to the National Special Mineral and Material Engineering and Technology Research Center. Using the most advanced equipment, they found that this stone was a new type of ore with high-quality energy … "
Suddenly, Hao Zhonghua interrupted, "I also know about this. I have a friend who works in the National Mineral Research Center. This stone has attracted the attention of the national scientific research institution. Therefore, this matter has been suppressed by the higher-ups, and they want to investigate the origin of this ore. If we weren't in this circle, we wouldn't have known about this. "
Hao Ren took a deep breath and nodded, pretending to be enlightened.
Spirit stones were the most common items used by the cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven for cultivation and trading. However, they were a very pure and efficient new energy source for the Research Agency.
Mastering the new energy meant mastering the new direction of the world. It was no wonder that the country valued it so much. The local TV station had offered a reward of 10,000 yuan for clues about the stone. They probably wanted to dig deeper into the source.
"Don't talk about stones." Grandma, who was interrupted, was a little angry. "If Zi's family is in trouble, we have to help them wholeheartedly. Do you understand?"
When she had a high blood pressure attack, Zi's family had saved her life. Grandma had always remembered this kindness. Now that Zi's father's business was in trouble, Grandma was more anxious than anyone else.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll do my best to help! Mingri Group is working closely with our Ocean Research Institute on the deep-sea oil project. Also, Yujia's dad's factory in the U.S. is going to cooperate with Mingri Group's branch in New York, "Hao Zhonghua said immediately.
Hearing her name mentioned by Hao Zhonghua, Xie Yujia looked up sensitively. When she heard about her dad's factory, her eyes lit up instantly.
"So, we also hope that Zi's dad's company can get through this crisis. We still have a lot of cooperation to do," Hao Zhonghua said softly to appease Grandma.
"It's good that you understand! Zi's family and our family are one big family! Don't talk about useless things. Contact Zi's dad and see if there is any big business for him. Don't you have a lot of high-ranking friends in Beijing? Don't you have a good relationship with the high-ranking officials and the director of the Energy Bureau? Don't you have old classmates in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce? "Grandma's words were aimed at Hao Zhonghua.
"Ok, ok. Mom, don't worry. I'll call them after dinner." Hao Zhonghua had no choice but to nod.
"That's more like it!" Grandma glanced at Hao Zhonghua and finally picked up her chopsticks.
Yue Yang smiled at Hao Zhonghua and was about to eat when Grandma said, "By the way, Yue Yang, you should also contact some of your good classmates who are doing big business abroad. At this time, you should help Zi's dad get close to them!"
"Ok, Mom," Yue Yang answered immediately.
Hao Ren and Xie Yujia looked at each other and saw Grandma's rare unfriendliness.
Zhen Congming, on the other hand, was eating a chicken drumstick leisurely. In fact, he was the richest person around the table since all kinds of gemstones in his necklace could easily be sold for more than one billion yuan. However, the business of the East Ocean Dragon Clan on land had nothing to do with him, so he didn't want to care about it.
After dinner, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang went back to their rooms on the second floor and contacted their former classmates, hoping to bring some changes to Mingri Group. The two of them enjoyed a reputation in the international scientific community. Of course, they also had some connections in the country, especially since their former classmates were now in important positions. The two of them could not be considered to be very powerful in the country, but it was still very easy for them to get some things done.
That was why a small deputy mayor of East Ocean City didn't dare to offend these two big figures. Huang Xujie had bullied Hao Ren, and Huang Xujie's father had almost slapped him to death.
Hao Zhonghua and his wife were indifferent and never asked for help after graduation. Even when Hao Ren was going to a higher school, they didn't call their friends in the Education Bureau. Now that they suddenly called their friends and old classmates and asked them to pay attention to Mingri Group, it made their friends pay more attention to it.
"Ah, yes, yes. It's because our Ocean Research Institute and Mingri Group's deep-sea oil exploration project is a major energy project in the East Ocean region in the next ten years. That's why we hope that Director Cai can pay attention to it."
"Hey, Liu Xin, how's the weather in France? How's your wine business? Oh, you acquired a new winery … Hehe, here's the thing. I have a friend who works for Mingri Group. Their stock prices aren't doing well recently, but they are in charge of the food business. If you are interested, you can talk to him. I can give you his number …"
Hao Zhonghua and Liu Xin were on the balcony and in the room, making calls continuously. They mobilized all their connections to stimulate Mingri Group's business.
With his sensitive ears, Hao Ren heard his parents' calls while he cultivated in his room. He didn't know that his parents had such a wide network. From the ministers of the country to the owners of foreign wineries, from the shipping magnate of Australia to the investors on Wall Street, from the executives of General Electric to the editor-in-chief of the Times Daily, they had contacted all the people who could help Mingri Group's business or improve its image.
Hao Ren even felt that if his parents gave up their studies and went into business, with their connections and brains, the scale of their business would be much larger.
Half an hour later, Zhao Guang was listening to Elder Sun's report in the study room when his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhao Guang asked.
"Hehe, I'm the owner of Lafite Chateau in Bordeaux. My name is Liu Xin. You must be Zhao Guang, the chairman of Mingri Group's China division. My good friend, Yue Yang, told me that you want to do some imported wine business. I can provide you with 500 cases of our '98 vintage wine for a trial sale … "
Holding the cell phone, Zhao Guang froze for a second. Lafite Chateau, the world's top winery, had top-notch wine that was hard to get even with money …
Ding, ding, ding …
The landline phone on Zhao Guang's desk suddenly rang again. Zhao Guang put away his cell phone and picked up the call.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I'm Emerton, the executive director of Brilliant Shipping Company in Australia. Can I get a chance to cooperate with your Australian subsidiary through you? It's my good friend, Hao Zhonghua. He asked me to contact you tonight. We're going to build a new port in Melbourne. If it's convenient for you … "Fluent English came from the phone.
Zhao Guang's eyes widened. He didn't expect to run into such a good business opportunity. Building a new port with the largest shipping company in Australia was definitely a profitable business, and such good news would definitely increase Mingri Group's stock price in Australia …
"Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao? "The woman's urging voice came from Zhao Guang's cell phone.
Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and looked at Elder Sun in front of him. He said calmly, "Go and call Elder Lu and Elder Liu here. Also, find a few capable assistants. We'll be busy in the future."
The West Ocean Dragon Clan worked with the other two dragon clans to cut off Mingri Group's domestic business. Then, they launched a public opinion campaign, causing Mingri Group's stock price to plummet. Even though Zhao Guang had elite subordinates, he was still forced into a passive position by their counterattack.
The former 'Big Brother' was now being stepped on by them.
"The old Dragon King is going to make a comeback this time. Are you saying that we should give him a grand welcome?" Elder Sun looked at Zhao Guang and asked in confusion.
Zhao Guang shook his head. "Ren's parents are helping me, and I shouldn't expect him to come back and clean up this mess. Before he comes back, let's do something to show him! "
Zhao Haoran was one generation older than Oldman Zeng of West Ocean. Thinking of him, Zhao Guang could imagine the huge waves that his father, whom he hadn't seen for 20 years, would have to face!
The East Ocean Dragon Clan had fallen to this state after being handed over to Zhao Guang!
