Boom Town's new mother lode had been found, and the preliminary survey report was out.
The estimated content was 11 grams of gold per ton of ore, but that wasn't important.
The important thing was that, according to the survey report, the new mother lode could yield a profit of six to one billion dollars.
That meant that the gold in the mother lode was worth more than six to one billion dollars.
Gold mining was also costly, and the cost of this new mother lode was relatively low. Also, there were other minerals in the mother lode, which could further reduce the cost.
Luke had 25% of the shares in the mining company, and would receive a dividend of 150 to 250 million dollars.
When Luke came out just now, he had told Selina that she might become a multi-millionaire.
Luke and Jenny didn't talk for long.
Jenny would take a company car to Boom Town tomorrow and formalize the mining company. Luke didn't have anything to do with it.
Looking at the excited Jenny, Luke suddenly said with a smile, "You're the secretary of Cosmic Cube now. You've worked hard to get this gold mine. It's time to reward you."
Jenny looked at him with a smile. "What reward?"
"How about 5% of the company?" asked Luke.
Jenny was stunned for a moment. Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
Luke watched her frown, as if she were thinking about something.
He didn't disturb her, and simply put his hands where they should be.
Jenny thought for almost a minute, before she finally shook her head. "No, I can't accept the shares."
Amused, Luke pulled her closer. "Why?"
Jenny put her hand on his shoulder so that their faces were a little further apart, before she said, "Because my hard work isn't worth it at all. I only signed a few normal contracts for the mining company. If you didn't come to me, another law firm could've done it for you with tens of thousands of dollars. Chris was willing to sign them because you finished your work a long time ago. That has nothing to do with me. "
Luke shrugged. "But Bobby, the PR manager, has 1% of the shares."
Jenny burst out laughing. "That's right. That's why he's going to guard the mine in Arizona, while I'm still studying in Los Angeles. Besides, he's a more 'senior' employee than me. It's normal for him to have some shares. "
At this point, she was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. "You've already changed the shares of the mining company. It's not under your name anymore, right?"
Luke nodded. Of course, he couldn't keep it from Jenny.
"The mining company is just a subsidiary that has left. It's the same without me," said Jenny unhurriedly. "I'm really not interested in mining, not even gold mines. I have a new idea, would you like to hear it? "
Luke nodded again.
"I'm very interested in the smartphone company you mentioned." Jenny's eyes sparkled. "That seems more to my liking. You even have the finished product. All we lack is production and sales. I want to do this. "
Luke got it.
The main job of a gold mine was to reduce consumption and increase output. It was also a process of production management. Most directors did this.
Jenny, who had inherited her father's business talent, didn't want to be the director of a gold mine. She preferred to work in high-tech industries, such as smartphones.
It was clearly more interesting to promote and sell a new phone that nobody else had yet to the world than to bury herself in mining.
Luke slapped his forehead. "Sorry, I told you long ago that I wanted you to be the CEO of the phone company."
Jenny giggled and kissed him. "So, let's start a new phone company. It doesn't matter if you hold shares in the company or yourself, I want to invest in this phone company. "
Luke raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Jenny said, "My mother left me a sum of money. I've been investing it in certain stocks and funds, and haven't taken it out. Now, I think I can use it to start a business. "
Luke found that odd. "Your father … doesn't know?"
Jenny hit him unhappily. "Don't mention that man."
But she quickly sighed. "He's busy with his new wife and son. He doesn't have time to care about me."
Luke had a strange expression on his face. "Really?"
Jenny lowered her head. "Fine, he knows. But this money is my mother's personal property, and it's all for me. He can't do anything about it. "
Luke stroked her back to comfort her. "Then why did he threaten you with cutting off your living expenses?"
Biting her lip, Jenny couldn't help but tighten her grip on his shoulders. "Hmph, if he doesn't give me living expenses, what's the point of us doing? We haven't seen each other in a year or two. "
Luke got it.
Jenny was already over eighteen years old, and her mother had left her a huge inheritance.
Her father's act of giving her living expenses was more of a continuation of their father-daughter relationship.
Otherwise, her father would have a young wife and a new son, and he wouldn't even give her living expenses.
If it was a normal person, he or she would feel abandoned.
Luke thought for a moment. "Fine, what do you want to do?"
Jenny said, "I'll pay five million dollars for 10% of the phone company's shares."
Luke was surprised. "You're that rich?"
Jenny rolled her eyes. "The property my mother gave me was a venture capital she got from her father's family. She earned it after running it for more than ten years. It has nothing to do with my father."
Luke sweated. "Fine, so your mother was a tycoon before she married your father."
Jenny said matter-of-factly, "That's right. Otherwise, do you think that man would've waited until she passed away … Forget it, let's not talk about that."
She couldn't help but tighten her grip a few more times. It was clear that she was furious at her father.
Luke was lost for words. The conflict between father and daughter was probably hard to resolve.
But it had nothing to do with him.
He didn't care what Jenny's father wanted. In any case, that financial bigshot was useless to him.
He fought back against Jenny's violence. "I think we should go somewhere else and discuss the new company."
Jenny cried out in surprise. "What do you want to discuss?"
Luke said solemnly, "The chairman can also control the CEO, right?"
Jenny rolled her eyes at him. "I'm still the secretary. Chairman! "
Luke thought for a moment and nodded. "Then do your job as a secretary and stand on the last shift."
Jenny: "Ptooey!"
…
At half past eleven at night, Luke opened the door and entered the house.
Selina had just taken a shower. She looked at him strangely. "You're not staying with Miss Jenny tonight?"
He chuckled. "Of course I'll be back after business. Jenny's going to Boom Town tomorrow to check out our gold mine. "
Luke specifically emphasized the word "our."
Sure enough, Selina's attention was diverted. "Is what you said before you left true?"
