A draft of a package of agency contracts was displayed on the screen of the tablet. The mining contracts for oil fields, quartz mines, pyroxene mines, silica mines … About 20 to 30 mines were displayed one by one.
Some of these mines were involved in the energy field, while some were just pure industrial raw materials. However, even though China Energy-related companies were named as energy companies, they actually operated a variety of industries. This was also the practice of large state-owned enterprises in China, so it was not surprising at all.
"In terms of oil, because Noah has discovered at least more than ten oil fields with recoverable reserves of five billion tons, the federal government has opened up its regulatory policy.
Quartz mine, hmm, quartz can be found almost everywhere in the desert. It's effortless to mine, and the value of this ore is not high.
Silica is an essential blood vessel in electronic products. Unfortunately, judging from the advanced superconducting technology used by the Atlanteans and their increasingly good attitude towards Earthlings, it'll soon be replaced as long as we bend our knees a little more … "Tina studied the contract carefully with a scrutinizing gaze. After a long time, she shook her head in distress and said," I can't see anything unusual.
This is a very reasonable underwriting agency contract. Most of the mining rights have not been obtained by my company yet, so I plan to wait for the Chinese to pay in advance before I start to make a big move. For now, if the Chinese don't trade with us, they can also cooperate with other companies. They're famous for having strong funds, so they don't have to worry about having no business partners … "
"Tina, you said that most of the mining rights have not been obtained yet, so does that mean that a small part of the mining rights have been obtained?" Zhang Lisheng suddenly interrupted his girlfriend's words thoughtfully.
"Yes, baby, but those are all speculative businesses. The price of the mining rights is not high, so the use of the ores is naturally very small. Some of them are even only for collection.
Hmm, for example, this water-rich calcium magnesium silicate has no other use other than the people in your hometown who like it. Not only that, but the mining cost is also very high. If it's not for the fact that China Energy is willing to entrust the mining this time, its value can be said to be almost zero. "
"Calcium magnesium silicate? I've never heard of such a strange name before. What is that? Is there a more popular name for it?" The young man sat on the rattan chair and stared at a tablet computer on his knees as he casually asked.
"Of course, the company's engineer once told me that this mineral is called 'jade' in China. Hmm, there seems to be a place called …"
"Hetian? The water-rich calcium-magnesium silicate that you mentioned is called Hetian jade in China, right?" Zhang Lisheng froze and raised his head to look at his girlfriend as he asked.
"That's right, it's called Hetian jade. What's wrong with having such a treasure?" Tina could hear the strangeness in her lover's tone and said in shock, "Don't tell me that you're in danger because of this kind of worthless handicraft material?"
"That's impossible, right?" Trish, who had been listening attentively at the side, said in astonishment.
"I'm afraid it's because of this," The young man became silent for a while before replying with a gloomy expression. "Tina, Trish, the meaning of jade in China is definitely not just a handicraft material like you think.
In ancient times, it was a symbol of monarchical power. In the Middle Ages, it symbolized a noble man of noble character. In recent times, it evolved into a symbol of good luck. In short, since the birth of the Chinese civilization, jade had always been a totem of good things.
In a narrow sense, only the ores produced in Lantian can be called 'jade' after they've been polished. I can't believe that I've actually found the same mineral deposit in Noah now … "
"But even if jade represents' good ', what does it have to do with you, Lisheng?" Sheila asked in confusion.
"Of course it does." Zhang Lisheng's train of thought had been straightened out, so his attitude became calmer. "Everything that is precious must have a unique value. Gold is precious because it can be used as a general equivalent.
Salt is precious because it can bring a healthy body and strength to humans.
Steel that has gone through a special process to remove rust is precious because it can be made into a weapon to kill the enemy. How can jade be precious without a reason? It's just that I've never thought that it would actually be recognized as a symbol of 'monarchical power' in ancient times because it can bring powerful strength to cultivators. It's still precious even until now … "
"Lisheng, you're saying that the importance of the water-rich calcium magnesium silicate to those pagans is equivalent to the importance of the primordial light stone to the Atlanteans?" Trish was the first to understand and asked in astonishment.
"It's not completely correct, but it's almost the same." Zhang Lisheng smiled. "I've seen the same sentence in many ancient Chinese books before. 'A man will become an immortal after eating the jade bait'. According to the 'Taoist Literature Records', if one wants to be successful in cultivation, he must have four elements, namely 'wealth, partner, Tao, and method'. Among them, wealth first referred to jade."
"Then it's no wonder that they would set a trap to attack you. Such an important strategic resource is controlled by a potential enemy, so the best choice is to carry out a powerful terrorist attack to solve the problem before the accident happens," Sheila said with a shrug.
"You're right, Sheila. To those barbaric religious people who don't know what the law is, violent destruction is indeed a shortcut to solve the problem, but they've chosen the wrong target this time.
Tomorrow, no, I'll get someone to blow up that damn jade mine into pieces right now. They won't get anything, they won't get anything … "Tina clenched her teeth and grabbed her phone. She accidentally crushed the phone into pieces.
"Oh Tina, looks like even though being a sage is similar to a spellcaster profession in D&D, it has actually increased your strength a lot." Zhang Lisheng smiled as he watched his girlfriend throw away the phone fragments in her hand and began to contact people on the tablet computer. Reaching out, he pressed the computer screen and said, "But why would it make you so irrational?
Destroying a trump card in your hand is not a smart thing to do. "
"Baby, I'm a businessman. To a businessman, I can obtain some kind of compromise based on interests through negotiation and transaction, but these things will never include your safety.
Those religious lunatics have already touched my bottom line. "Tina looked into her boyfriend's eyes and said without giving in." I can understand your dignity as a man who wants to take revenge alone, but please also understand that as your lover, I must and must make all those who hurt or intend to hurt you pay a heavy price. "
"Oh Tina, please calm down and listen to me for a while, okay?" Zhang Lisheng did not know how to answer his girlfriend's words. After a moment of silence, he smiled wryly and said, "Those Taoist priests are not completely fanatical religious believers. They're not irrational lunatics, but a group of people who know how to compromise and give in. How should I put it? Well, they can be considered as invisible politicians.
A group of politicians who had supernatural powers and were bound by some kind of religion-like law. Since ancient times, in the political arena of China, they had played an important role that was not only feared by the rulers, but also wanted to make full use of them. The power they had accumulated was far beyond one's imagination.
Due to the difference in civilization, it may be difficult for you to understand what I'm saying, but please believe in my judgment. In the face of such an enemy, before you have the power to destroy it in one fell swoop, compromise and fight for maximum benefits is the wisest way.
My dear, the power I've mastered is increasing at a geometric speed. In two years at most, the Hellfire Archipelago in the Shrimp World No. 2 will be under my control.
At that time, 10 million square kilometers of fertile territory and more than 300 million devout believers can provide me with 60 million fully armed elite troops. Even though the weapons they use are a little behind the Earthlings, they still have a strong physique that is incomparable to the Earth's soldiers.
The tenacious will to fight to the death.
The magical and powerful war 'partners' and the leadership of the officers who have mastered supernatural powers. I believe that their combat power will not be much different from the federal army.
Just imagine what kind of combat power a military force that is equivalent to a quarter of the entire US population can exert under the religious brainwashing of a dictatorship … "
"Lisheng, w-what are you saying all these for? D-Don't tell me that you're planning to lead the native army to invade Earth to avenge yourself, right?" When Sheila heard that Zhang Lisheng, who originally wanted to comfort his girlfriend, had his tone become more and more fanatical and the content of his words gradually made her heart palpitate, she blurted out.
"Of course not!" The young man was stunned for a moment before breaking away from his excited state and replied, "What I mean is that the war potential of the Hellfire Archipelago is very huge. It's enough to compete with those huge land countries in the Shrimp World No. 2. As long as I'm given enough time, conquering the entire foreign world will no longer be a dream.
By the time I have the faith of a world to support me, my power will be able to easily crush the Gate of Dao. By that time, I'll have already taken my revenge so why should I take the risk to fall out with them now? "
"Oh baby, your idea of revenge is really complicated. It really gave me a fright," Sheila said with a curl of her lips. "But it's indeed much smarter than Tina's rash approach."
"Then don't tell me that we're just going to let it go just like that?" Tina glared at Sheila and looked at her boyfriend as she asked unwillingly.
"Of course I can't let those Taoist priests go so easily." When Zhang Lisheng saw that his girlfriend's attitude had eased, he smiled in satisfaction. "You can tell the truth about the ambush I encountered this time to those Taoist priests mixed in the China Energy delegation and extract more benefits from them.
In terms of wealth, I believe that they should not have a number that can move you, but they must have a lot of antiques that can bring magical power to ordinary people. Well, I'm just giving you a reminder. Actually, you're the real expert in this aspect. I believe that you'll definitely make those Taoist priests pay a sufficient price on the negotiating table. "
