Chapter 1611: Humble

Cao Guoli suddenly realized and asked: "Chairman Zhou, what is your impression of our Golmud?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I just said it, Golmud is a city with historical heritage, a city with rich tourism resources, plus rich mineral resources, the development prospects are quite good."

Yang Libin and Cao Guoli's eyes lit up. They also understood in their hearts that Zhou Andong's words might just be polite.

But even if they were polite words, no one had ever said them to them, so they still saw a glimmer of hope.

"Chairman Zhou!" Yang Libin said very sincerely: "Our Qarhan Salt Lake, East and West Taijinaier mining areas, have an area equivalent to 50 times that of the American Searles Salt Lake, and is the largest magnesium-lithium salt deposit in China.

Among them, it has collected 60 billion tons of chloride-based salt deposits. The reserves and grades of potassium, magnesium, lithium, boron, iodine, rubidium, etc., all rank first in the country.

In addition, there are crystal, lead-zinc, coal, and other mineral deposits, with rich reserves waiting to be developed. I sincerely hope you will give our Golmud a chance and come here to invest.

No matter what you want to mine, you can pay as much as you want for the contract fee, three years tax-free, and half-price for five years. I only hope that you can recruit more workers here."

Zhou Andong was not an emotional person, and even less an easily influenced person, but seeing Yang Libin's sincere eyes and his slightly humble tone, his heart was still touched a bit.

But with the technology at this time, plus the transportation environment here, whether it was mining costs or transportation costs, they were very high, and mining anything would lose money.

No, if he contracted the Salt Lake, producing potassium fertilizer could still make money. Because he knew that in the future, this place would become the largest potassium fertilizer industrial production base in the country.

And what impressed him most was the Qinghai Potassium Fertilizer Factory established in 1958, because the factory area had a reservoir 6 meters deep and 3 square kilometers in area, and the nearby potassium salt was excavated from here.

Due to the high salt content, nothing grew around it, forming a very strange and desolate scenery. And the most attractive point was that it was one of only 3 similar factories in the world. The other two were Salt Lake City in the United States and the Dead Sea in Israel.

If he wanted to invest, the most convenient and worry-free way was to acquire the Qinghai Potassium Fertilizer Factory.

But the Potassium Fertilizer Factory was a provincial-owned enterprise, and Yang Libin and Cao Guoli didn't have the final say.

"Secretary Yang, I have felt your sincerity." Zhou Andong pondered and said: "Investment matters cannot be decided in a few words, so give me some time to consider.

Another thing is, Ali had a snow disaster, and rescue supplies must be delivered as soon as possible. Let's talk after I come back."

Yang Libin and Cao Guoli were full of disappointment. They had heard such excuses many times.

Cao Guoli was full of unwillingness, opened his mouth to say something, and heard Zhou Andong continue.

"We are not familiar with Ali, and now there is a snow disaster over there, and the specific situation is also blind. Secretary Yang, can you arrange a guide for us?"

Arrange a guide?

When Yang Libin and Cao Guoli heard this, the energy that had just been deflated suddenly filled their whole bodies.

It turned out that Zhou Andong saying to talk after coming back was not an excuse, otherwise he wouldn't have asked them to arrange a guide.

"No problem!" Cao Guoli got up and walked out: "I'll go arrange it now."

Yang Libin also stood up: "Chairman Zhou, bosses, the matter is urgent, your time is tight, breakfast has already been arranged, let's go to the banquet hall now."

Zhou Andong didn't stand on ceremony, followed Yang Libin and stepped out, others looked at each other, and then followed behind them out of the meeting room.

The banquet hall of the guesthouse was not small, and more than thirty tables were seated with drivers and security guards, and Wang Yuhai was busy arranging the serving of dishes.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"..."

Seeing Zhou Andong coming, everyone greeted him one after another.

Zhou Andong nodded in response and followed Yang Libin into a private room next to it.

Wang Yuhai followed in: "Secretary, serve the dishes?"

"Serve them!" Yang Libin said: "Hurry up."

"Okay!" Wang Yuhai turned and left the private room.

Yang Libin picked up the wine on the table: "Tequte, our Golmud wine, everyone is an expert in this area, you can taste it."

Zhou Andong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I already drank it last night, so I won't drink during the day."

"Fine!" Yang Libin put the wine down very readily: "When you come back, let's have a good drink again."

The dishes were served quickly, Zhou Andong said: "Wait for Mayor Cao."

"No need!" Yang Libin said: "Your time is tight, let's eat first, he will be back in a while."

Zhou Andong didn't insist: "Then let's start."

Everyone didn't stand on ceremony, picked up chopsticks and ate, which was much better than what they ate at the small shop last night.

It was only ten minutes later that Cao Guoli came, and as soon as he pushed the door, he laughed.

"Everything is arranged, people will be here in a while."

"Sit here!" Zhou Andong moved his chair aside.

Yang Libin asked: "Who did you find?"

Cao Guoli sat down: "Zhaxi Duoji from the Criminal Police Team, he was born in Ali and grew up in Ali, there is no one more familiar with that side than him."

Zhou Andong said: "It's really too much trouble for you."

"Chairman Zhou, you are too polite saying this." Cao Guoli picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton: "Now that Ali has a snow disaster, you can travel thousands of miles to personally escort supplies to disaster relief.

No matter if you invest here or not, we will also do our best to give you all the help within our power."

This meal was eaten very quickly, and it was finished in less than twenty minutes.

Then everyone walked out of the private room, and there were two tables of people eating outside.

That was the security guard on duty, who had just come in.

Seeing Zhou Andong coming out, they also put down their bowls and chopsticks and were about to stand up and leave.

Zhou Andong waved his hand: "No hurry, finish eating, you won't be able to eat such hot meals later."

Standing at the entrance of the banquet hall was a young man in a police uniform. When he saw Yang Libin and Cao Guoli, he stood at attention and saluted.

"Secretary, Mayor!"

Cao Guoli said with a smile: "Do you know what your mission is this time?"

"Know!" The young man looked at Zhou Andong and the others: "Transport Yugong Group's disaster relief supplies into Ali."

"Correct!" Cao Guoli's expression became serious: "You must safely bring Chairman Zhou and the others in."

"Yes!"

The young man stood at attention, then saluted Zhou Andong, Wu Hongkang, and Zhang Shenghui, with tears in his eyes.

"I represent my parents, brothers, and sisters, and all the people of Ali, thank you."

Cao Guoli patted the young man on the shoulder heavily, and then said to Zhou Andong.

"This is Zhaxi Duoji, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Team. His parents and brothers and sisters are all in Ali. He hasn't been able to contact his family these past few days and is very worried. Even without your matter, he would have gone back to see tomorrow." ===== CHAPTER 1612 =====
