“I also know that mineral extraction isn’t just about money. You also have to have the corresponding qualifications. manpower and materials, which are very troublesome. Moreover, you have to have very deep connections.’
“That’s why I never thought of mining it myself. I just wanted to transfer the mining rights.”
Luo Yang finally realized that something was wrong.
“Wait, wait, wait… Boss, what did you say just now? Transfer? Where did you get a mine to transfer?”
Lin Bai thought to himself, ‘Anyway, the relevant exploration report would be out by tomorrow morning at the latest. It would not be a big deal to tell Luo Yang in advance.’
Therefore, he told the truth.
“I’ve already bought the project of Yunding Villa, and there’s an unexpected surprise. There might be gold and rare earth mines under that piece of land.”
“But I’m not 100% sure yet. The reason I asked you to help me contact the exploration team previously was to confirm the matter further.”
“However, I think that there must be a certain degree of truth.”
“Since there’s such a possibility, there should be some evidence. Therefore, I want to take advantage of my free time to do my homework in advance.”
“If the exploration results come out and prove that there is indeed a mine, then I can contact the buyer directly.”
Luo Yang was stunned.
“Oh my God, Boss, your luck is too heaven-defying!”
“You just bought the project, and you found a mine so quickly? !”
“If Shen Wanqing finds about this, he would regret it!”
Lin Bai smiled. “It’s useless even if he regrets it. The contract has been signed, and all the relevant procedures have been completed.”
“Now, the project of the Yunding Villa belongs to me, and everything underground is mine.”
“No matter how jealous he is, there’s nothing he can do.”
Luo Yang said, “Qingcheng Group really lost a lot in this transaction. Boss, you’ve made a lot of money!”
Lin Bai quickly brought the conversation back to the main topic.
“Whether or not we can make money depends on whether anyone is willing to pay for it. Otherwise, if we can’t sell it, we’ll have no choice but to absorb the losses.”
“Speaking of which, does your uncle know anyone in this field?”
Luo Yang quickly said, “Oh my, I almost forgot about that. Wait a minute, I’ll go ask him now!”
He hung up the phone and went to contact his uncle.
Although these things had nothing to do with him directly, they had stayed in the same dormitory for such a long time so their relationship was quite close.
Seeing Lin Bai earn a lot of money, Luo Yang was also happy.
Moreover, he also thought that if Lin Bai could really become a billionaire one day, then with their friendship, he could more or less benefit from it, right?
Therefore, he was willing to do such things like helping to gather information, and he actually even enjoyed it.
If Lin Bai suddenly stopped bothering him, he would instead be more anxious and worried that Lin Bai might have something against him. He would be scared that Lin Bai would actually rather seek help from outsiders than himself.
Fortunately, that kind of situation had not happened yet.
Not long after, Luo Yang called.
This time, his tone was not as excited as before.
He went straight to the point and said, “Boss, I really can’t help you this time.”
“My uncle only works in construction. He has never dabbled in mining and doesn’t have any connections in this area. I really can’t help you.”
Lin Bai could only say, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Then I’ll think of another way myself.”
Then, Lin Bai began to think about who else he could ask for help from.
The first person he thought of was Captain Wang of the exploration team.
Lin Bai thought that since Captain Wang’s work was related to all kinds of minerals, he would definitely have some connections.
Among those people, there might be some who had the qualifications to mine minerals and had the ability to take over the underground mines of the Yunding Mountain Villa.
With this thought in mind, Lin Bai was about to call Captain Wang, but he didn’t expect the other party to call him first.
As soon as the call was connected, Captain Wang’s excited voice sounded.
“Mr. Lin! Congratulations! We have found a gold mine in the subterranean grounds of Yunding Mountain Villa!”
This was the result that Lin Bai had expected, but in order not to make Captain Wang suspect something, Lin Bai cooperated and pretended to be surprised.
“What? A gold mine?! Really?” Lin Bai pretended to be shocked and asked.
Captain Wang said, “Of course it’s true! How could I lie to you!?!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll use my 20 years of experience to assure you that there’s absolutely no mistake. That’s a genuine gold mine!”
Halfway through his sentence, Captain Wang seemed to have met someone who came over and said something to him.
Then, Captain Wang’s tone became even more amazed.
“Mr. Lin, you’re really lucky!”
“My team members just came over and told me that they found another rare earth mine next to the gold mine! Mr. Lin, you’ve really made a big profit this time!”
Lin Bai continued to pretend to be surprised. “Really? That’s really great! But these minerals can’t be mined casually, right? What can I do if I don’t have the corresponding qualifications?”
He took the opportunity to bring up the issue that he was really concerned about.
Captain Wang said without thinking, “That’s simple. My second uncle is experienced in this. He has almost finished mining the copper mine that he contracted previously, and is currently looking for new ones. I think he should be interested in the mines here at Yunding Villa.”
“Mr. Lin, if you can trust me, I will tell my second uncle about it. Can you arrange a time for a face-to-face meeting?”
Lin Bai was worried that he wouldn’t be able to find someone to take over so he naturally agreed when he heard Captain Wang saying that he had a relative who was a professional.
“How about tomorrow? I want to act quickly.”
Captain Wang agreed readily.
“Okay, I’ll talk to my uncle later. We’ll discuss the exact time later.”
After hanging up the phone, Captain Wang contacted his second uncle and told him in detail about the situation at Yunding Villa.
His uncle’s interest was piqued when he heard that.
“Two mines? Are you going to sell them all together?”He asked.
Captain Wang replied, “It should be possible.”
“Mr. Lin himself doesn’t have any mining qualifications. The two mines will not be able to be converted into cash if he keeps them in his hands. To him, selling them together as soon as possible is the most beneficial strategy. There’s no reason for him to disagree.”
“Moreover, Mr. Lin has clearly told me that he wants to sell them as soon as possible, so there should be a lot of room for negotiation on the price.”
His uncle was very satisfied with this.
So he asked again, “How is the quality of the two mines? How much do you think they can produce?”
Captain Wang thought for a moment and replied, “Just that gold mine alone is conservatively estimated to be worth more than one billion.”
