Chapter 1111

Watching Yang Hai leave, Chang Meng Weihua chuckled: "This is because they can't beat us head-on, so they want to play dirty."

They registered the "United Non-Ferrous Metals Co., Ltd." as soon as they arrived in Ganzhou, and the company registration went very smoothly.

But when they wanted to contract the rare earth mines, they encountered unimaginable resistance.

They were stuck in a predicament for a while, but Chang Meng Weihua thought of a way: use money to pave the road and acquire the existing rare earth mines.

As long as the rare earth mines had complete paperwork, they would smash them with money until the mine owners were dizzy.

You have to know, which of those who could reasonably and legally obtain mine paperwork wasn't a local tyrant with a complex web of relationships in the area?

Even if Fan Yu and the others wanted to stop them, they had to weigh the consequences. As the saying goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

Even if the Fan family covered the sky with one hand in the province, once these local tyrants were pushed to the limit, they would open their mouths and take a bite out of them.

They might not die, but it would make them miserable. If it wasn't handled well and the wound festered, the consequences would also be terrifying.

Therefore, when Zhang You and the others started spending money regardless of the cost, it caught Tong Huaiyu and the others off guard.

Fan Yu could only threaten and lure these mine owners, which worked very well at first.

For money, offending the Fan family wasn't worth it, but when money was piled onto their heads again and again, who the hell cared about the Fan family?

If you dare to block my path to wealth, I dare to risk my life with you—especially when Zhang You and the others promised to use US dollars, these mine owners' eyes turned green as hell.

When the first one signed the contract, the second and third followed immediately.

During this period, they bought a total of seventeen rare earth mines. Although they weren't large, it made more people start to stir.

When the Fan family's name didn't work, whether it was Fan Yu or Tong Huaiyu, they could only stare helplessly.

Because they knew very well in their hearts that once they intervened, their own side would likely be bitten back.

Just last month, another large rare earth mine was discovered, and both Fan Yu and Tong Huaiyu had already raised their glasses to celebrate.

After all, with the Fan family there, this large mine was equivalent to being in their pocket.

But what they never dreamed of was that Zhang You very ostentatiously went to the provincial government to contract that large rare earth mine.

And he gave a price that the provincial government couldn't refuse: 38 million, and it was in US dollars.

If Tong Huaiyu and Fan Yu wanted to take this mine, they could only come up with more money, and it also had to be in US dollars.

As for backroom deals, that depends on who the opponent is. Facing Zhang You, Xiao Liuzi, and Zheng Xiyan and the others.

Whether it was Tong Huaiyu or Fan Yu, they absolutely didn't dare, and the people behind them didn't dare to take the risk either.

Because Zhang You, Xiao Liuzi, and Zheng Xiyan had the ability to poke their backroom dealings all the way to the sky.

At that time, even the powerful Fan family would have to suffer the consequences. The final result would still be public bidding.

Then, it went back to the starting point: money, and US dollars at that.

Therefore, Tong Huaiyu and the others could only think of ways to drive Zhang You and the others out of Ganzhou.

"Damn it!" Xiao Liuzi scratched his head: "They actually invited us to dinner. Even though we know it's a feast with no good intentions, we just can't see through it. This feeling is too damn bad."

Chang Meng Weihua smiled: "If you can't see through it, close your eyes and wait for them to show their hand."

"Right!" Zhang You snorted coldly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. I want to see what kind of tricks they want to play."

………………

Xiangjiang, the exchange. Those who bought white sugar futures spent the whole day like they were on a roller coaster, experiencing great ups and downs. It was very stimulating.

"The white sugar fluctuation was a bit severe today, but fortunately, when it closed, it didn't fall much compared to yesterday. It can be considered within the normal range."

"My heart can't take it anymore. If it's like this tomorrow, I'm prepared to sell. I'm not waiting."

"Old Wu, how did you become so timid? Didn't you read the Financial Times? Those experts all said this is a normal fluctuation, that the market makers are washing the market. As long as you hold on, white sugar still has a lot of room to rise."

"Indeed, look at today. The fluctuation was so severe, but it stabilized in the last few minutes before closing. I feel there's no big problem."

Zhou Chaozhong was in the crowd, listening to the discussions around him, and a smile appeared on his face for no apparent reason.

He had already sold at today's highest point, but he didn't leave; he stayed at the exchange.

If it weren't for Zhou Andong's reminder, he would also think that white sugar still had a lot of room to rise.

But after Zhou Andong's reminder, the more he pondered, the more he felt that the fluctuations over the past two days were a bit strange.

"Hoo!"

Zhou Chaozhong let out a long breath. Anyway, he had sold and made some money, so why think so much?

Then he shook his head and turned to walk out. He still had to rush to finish his draft when he got home. This exclusive interview had to be in the paper the day after tomorrow.

And after a day of fermentation, Zhou Andong's remarks had set off a monstrous wave.

Some toxic media outlets were calling for Zhou Andong to be beaten and killed, cursing him for overestimating his own capabilities and telling him to roll back to the mainland.

Especially regarding Zhou Andong's remarks about bringing out 5 million US dollars, they attacked him wantonly and demanded a police investigation.

These toxic media outlets slandered Zhou Andong by taking things out of context. If it weren't for patriotic media like the Da Hui Bao, Zhou Andong would really have fallen into a passive position.

But with media like the Da Hui Bao reporting objectively and fairly, most citizens still supported Zhou Andong and gave him their full support.

Zhou Andong didn't care about these things at all, but Wu Chao and the others had been tense, and they only relaxed after returning to the hotel.

………………

Ganzhou, 4:00 PM!

Zhang You, Chang Meng Weihua, and Zheng Xiyan and the others arrived at the hotel restaurant. Unexpectedly, Li Jun and Yang Hai and the others had already arrived.

The two sides had come into contact more than once, and they had almost had a conflict, so they weren't strangers.

But this time, three new faces appeared. The most eye-catching one was the young man sitting next to Yang Hai. He was about 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted.

It was already mid-November, and he was still wearing a sleeveless vest. His exposed skin was covered in tattoos—who knew what kind of mess they were.

And the most distinctive feature was his head, which looked like a flat winter melon. It was a circle larger than an average person's, but the distance between his eyes, nose, and mouth was smaller than a normal person's, as if they were gathered together for a meeting.

"Ha!"

Seeing that guy, Zhang You couldn't help but laugh out loud. He walked over unsteadily and sat down.

"Li Jun, where did you find such a thing? It really is a bastard that's hard to encounter in a thousand years."

That guy's small eyes blinked, and a flash of ferocity appeared in them, but his face still carried a smile.

"Young Master Zhang, I've long heard of your great name. Knowing that Young Master Li invited you to dinner, I begged Young Master Li and shamelessly followed along, just to get to know the noble people from the capital."
