Chapter 1218: Disgusting Them

The suddenly appearing Zhang You made everyone's expression change, especially Fan Yu and Li Jun, who felt as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly. But in such an occasion, they had no way to deal with it.

"Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you."

"General Manager Yuan, I hope we have a chance to cooperate."

Zhang You didn't linger and walked to the side after saying that.

He came today actually just to disgust Fan Yu and the others.

"Haha..."

Li Xingquan laughed to ease the somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"General Manager Yuan, this is my son, Li Jun, also a director of Wufeng Mining."

"Young Master Li, nice to meet you." Yuan Wanqi shook hands with Li Jun again.

Immediately after, Ganzhou state-owned enterprise leaders and small private business owners also gathered around, each introducing themselves.

Fan Liangjun gave a programmatic speech, and then Li Xingquan spoke, introducing some of Ganzhou's advantages.

After the banquet started, Yuan Wanqi was immediately surrounded; she received dozens of business cards alone.

Zhang You and the others sat in the corner, looking at the scene before them, with bright smiles on their faces.

At this time, Chang Meng Weihua raised his glass and gestured toward the distance.

Several people looked over and saw Guo Zidan's gaze looking over.

"Young Master Guo!" Zhang You also raised his glass to gesture, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Xiao Liuzi said, "If Miss Yang also came to the banquet, it would be even livelier."

Chang Meng Weihua said softly, "Without an interview assignment, Miss Yang wouldn't attend such a banquet."

Guo Zidan had been paying attention to this side, but except for Zhang You causing a little trouble at the beginning, they had been eating the whole time.

Until the banquet ended, Zhang You and the others didn't cause any trouble; it seemed they came to the banquet just to eat, which made Guo Zidan suspicious.

………………

"Li Xingquan, are the rooms all arranged?" Fan Liangjun asked.

"They are arranged." Li Xingquan said hurriedly, "The best rooms in the guesthouse, 24-hour hot water, and the attendants are also on standby 24 hours a day."

Fan Liangjun nodded with satisfaction. "General Manager Yuan, you've had a long journey, so rest early. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Yuan Wanqi shook hands with several leaders, then, led by the guesthouse manager, went to her room.

"General Manager Yuan, this is your room. If you need anything, just call the front desk."

"Thank you!" Yuan Wanqi thanked him and said to her entourage, "You guys sleep early too; it will be very busy these next few days."

"Understood, General Manager Yuan."

There were only two male staff members brought this time, and the remaining five were all girls.

It was fortunate that Zhao Hong and the others were there, giving this team a bit of masculine energy.

Returning to her room, Yuan Wanqi immediately picked up the phone and called Zhou Andong, because she knew the Chairman must be waiting.

Sure enough, the phone only rang twice before Zhou Andong answered.

"How is it?"

"Very smooth!" Yuan Wanqi said. "On the plane today, I ran into that enemy you mentioned, Tong Huaiyu."

"Oh?" Zhou Andong said, "Could it be that he wasn't in Ganzhou, but in Jingcheng?"

"That I don't know." Yuan Wanqi said. "He wants to cooperate with me to invest in rare earth mines."

Zhou Andong laughed. "I guess that guy doesn't have much capital left, so he wants to pull you into the game, and then kick you out after taking down Zhang You and the others."

Yuan Wanqi asked, "Then should I agree to him?"

"Of course." Zhou Andong said, "And sign as soon as possible, but our shares cannot be less than thirty percent; that is the bottom line."

Then the two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

………………

A cold lamp shines quietly, wind and snow hit the window, the winter night is long!

The temperature, which was still very warm in the evening, suddenly dropped sharply in the early morning, and soon snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.

On a dirt road outside Lingbei Town, heavy-duty trucks loaded with rare earth ore roared and disappeared into the dark night in the distance.

Two hours later, when the last heavy-duty truck drove past, two people suddenly jumped out of the ditch by the side of the road.

"How did the recording go?"

"At night, it's a bit unclear."

"It's alright. Luckily, the headlights were on. If they hadn't been, we would've been in real trouble."

"I don't know how things are with Xiao Wu."

"I'm also a bit worried. The checkpoint is very complicated; once exposed, it's dangerous."

"Let's go over and take a look."

"Okay, let's each ride a motorcycle. In case something happens, we can carry them and run."

At the Dingnan checkpoint, a middle-aged man with a big belly stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the checkpoint's makeshift house.

His name is Chen Hancheng, the deputy director of the County Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and concurrently the director of the County Rare Earth Industry Management Office.

The position of Director of the Rare Earth Office is absolutely a hot position for Dingnan, which is rich in rare earths.

Because important powers such as rare earth management, taxation, smuggling inspection, and production material review are all held in the hands of this position.

As soon as this guy took office, he started reaching out to smuggle rare earths. But it wasn't to crack down, but to make a fortune by using the power in his hands.

As long as it's a truck carrying rare earths, if you want to pass the checkpoint, you have to offer him tribute. For every truck, no matter how much it carries, you have to give him five hundred.

If you don't give it, sorry, not only will the truck be impounded and fined, but your mine might also be investigated, and even you might go in for a few years.

So, in these few years, this guy's body is not only fat with oil, but his pockets are also fat with oil.

He wouldn't even do it if he were appointed as deputy county magistrate; he just stayed in the position of Director of the Rare Earth Industry Management Office.

Of course, it's not enough for him to be fat with oil; the leaders in the county must also be fed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold onto this director position.

At this time, the door of the makeshift house opened, and a young man in uniform came out with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Director, stay inside; it's so cold outside, it's even snowing."

This guy is Luo Ruiyang, the captain of the Mineral Products Inspection Brigade.

Chen Hancheng waved his hand. "It's just too stuffy inside, so I came out to get some air."

Luo Ruiyang took out a cigarette and lit one for Chen Hancheng. "It's the middle of the night; I'm here, what else are you worried about?"

Chen Hancheng took a puff of the cigarette. "You don't know, a tycoon from Xiangjiang came here to inspect and invest. The county and the city have issued strict orders that no matter whose mine it is, no one can move these few days.

But the ore to be moved today is Tianhe, and Wang Wenbo called me yesterday. You also know my relationship with Old Wang, so I have to give him this face no matter what.

But if I don't come to watch it myself, I don't feel at ease. If something goes wrong at this time, none of us can handle it, and none of us can afford it."

Luo Ruiyang said, "Director Wang's mine, it won't be finished today; there will be more than thirty trucks tomorrow."

"No." Chen Hancheng waved his hand. "That's it for today; tomorrow, it absolutely cannot move. Wait until that Xiangjiang tycoon leaves; it's not like these few days make a difference." ===== CHAPTER 1219 =====
