Chapter 800: A Five-Billion Treasure Map!

"Are you sure there is a fluorite mine?"

Tang Ye was also somewhat surprised.

He had originally assumed that even if there really were a mine, it would most likely just be a small deposit.

But!

Judging by Li Zhewen's excited reaction.

The scale of this mine was clearly far more astonishing than he had anticipated.

"It is an absolutely genuine fluorite mine, and the key is that the ore quality is exceptionally good!

The average fluorite content of the ore is as high as 38%, and in some local areas, it can even reach 60%;

The average thickness of the ore body is 2.7 meters, and the maximum thickness is even more astonishing, reaching 13.1 meters!"

Tang Ye was not a geology professional, so he could not fully grasp the specific significance behind these data points for the moment.

But at this moment, the heart he had been holding in his throat finally settled.

"Knowing I didn't let you make this trip in vain makes me feel at ease."

Li Zhewen could not help but laugh out loud: "County Magistrate Tang, this is truly an astonishing discovery! I must thank you properly!"

Tang Ye hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "If you want to thank someone, thank Dr. Gao. Without his professional judgment, I might not have had the confidence to report this matter, let alone have today's discovery."

The smile on Li Zhewen's face faded slightly, and his tone became solemn: "With such important news about discovering a fluorite mine, we must act quickly. I am going to call my superiors to report this right now!"

Tang Ye nodded in agreement: "I will also call Secretary Ou immediately to tell him this good news."

On the other side, Ou Xiye had actually been waiting for news from Tang Ye in his office, so when Tang Ye's number popped up on his phone screen, he answered almost immediately.

"How is it? Is there a conclusion?"

"There is, Secretary Ou! The geological team has confirmed that there is indeed a fluorite mine hidden underneath, and the scale is not small. Captain Li is currently reporting this happy news to the provincial geological department!"

Ou Xiye was so excited that he clenched his fists and swung them hard in the air twice.

"That's great! I'm going to call Secretary Liu right now to report this good news!"

Liu Mingyuan answered Ou Xiye's call very quickly.

Ou Xiye's tone was filled with irrepressible excitement!

"Secretary Liu! Just as Tang Ye judged before, the Provincial Geological Team really discovered a fluorite mine in that mountain area!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said with deep emotion,

"Comrade Xiye, Dayu County has really found a treasure! You must attach great importance to this mine and plan the follow-up work closely."

Ou Xiye asked softly with a hint of probing in his tone: "Secretary Liu, do you still remember what you promised me regarding the revenue from the mine?"

Hearing this, Liu Mingyuan could not help but laugh: "You, you are still so impatient! Rest assured, since your Dayu County discovered this mine first, the revenue from subsequent development will definitely be tilted in your favor."

Only then did Ou Xiye completely heave a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his thanks: "Thank you for your support, Secretary Liu! We will certainly not let you down!"

After hanging up on Ou Xiye, Liu Mingyuan sat behind his desk and pondered for a long time, then picked up the landline and dialed the number of Minister Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.

"Minister Zhao, there is an important matter I need to report to you."

Minister Zhao had actually already learned the news of Tang Ye's safe return yesterday.

However, Liu Mingyuan had not mentioned the fluorite mine at that time.

He asked with slight confusion: "What matter? Go ahead."

"After the mudslide disaster in Dayu County this time, a small episode occurred during the process.

When Comrade Tang Ye was taking refuge in the mountains, he inadvertently discovered a special stone.

Today, the Provincial Geological Team went to the site for exploration and actually found a fluorite mine of considerable scale in that area.

According to preliminary estimates, the economic value of this mine can reach five billion!"

Minister Zhao heard the number "five billion."

He was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then his tone became solemn.

"This is truly fantastic news! Yanzhou must attach great importance to this matter and make a good article out of poverty alleviation and development centered on this mining project."

"Please rest assured, Minister Zhao, we are already contemplating the follow-up planning."

Liu Mingyuan said in a firm and confident tone.

"By the way, Minister Zhao, I must also specifically thank the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Including Dayu County in the scope of inter-provincial cadre exchange was absolutely the right move! The changes Tang Ye has brought to Dayu County since taking office are obvious to all."

Minister Zhao was also secretly clicking his tongue!

That Tang Ye could have such an unexpected contribution was indeed something he had not anticipated before.

"Your recognition is an affirmation of our work. Tang Ye still has more than a year left in his exchange term, and I believe more good news will come from Dayu County in the future."

After hanging up on Liu Mingyuan.

Minister Zhao did not delay and dialed He Haiyang's number.

He Haiyang had already known the news that Tang Ye was safe and sound yesterday!

He felt very conflicted!

Tang Ye being safe and sound was naturally a good thing for this inter-provincial exchange activity.

But personally, he felt quite troubled.

"Minister He, I have some good news for you. Just now, Yanzhou Municipal Party Secretary Liu Mingyuan called me and said that during this mudslide incident, Tang Ye not only provided early warnings to avoid greater losses but also helped the geological team find a fluorite vein worth five billion!"

"Uh..."

After hearing this, He Haiyang felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and it took him a long while to recover!

"This... how does this sound a bit bizarre?"

How could Minister Zhao not hear the complex emotions in He Haiyang's tone? He deliberately said with a hint of teasing:

"Who's to say it isn't?"

And yet, a miracle just happened like that!

This young man Tang Ye is not only the "whistleblower" for the disaster warning, but has also become the treasure hunter who unlocked the "treasure map."

I think we should issue a special work briefing to properly promote Tang Ye's sense of responsibility, decisiveness, and alertness."

He Haiyang's mouth was full of bitterness, but he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, such an excellent deed should indeed be well promoted, and it can also encourage other cadres to learn from him."

Minister Zhao smiled: "Fine, then I will arrange for someone to draft the briefing right now, and I'll send you the first draft later for you to help deliberate on it."

He Haiyang gritted his teeth tightly, his voice carrying a hint of sourness: "Huai Province will take your draft as the standard, and we will subsequently convey this briefing to all levels of departments."

After hanging up the phone with Minister Zhao, He Haiyang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he raised his hand and slammed it hard against the office desk.

The pen holder on the desktop was jolted an inch into the air.

A few days ago, he and Shen Minghan were still privately rejoicing over Tang Ye's disappearance.

But now, looking back on their reaction at the time, the two of them looked exactly like clowns.

He Haiyang did not tell Shen Minghan the news that Tang Ye had not only survived but also performed a meritorious service.

However, paper cannot wrap up fire in the end.

After the work briefing is issued, Shen Minghan will definitely know about this matter.

"How is it that this kid Tang Ye has such good luck!"

He Haiyang leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, and sighed aloud with a heart full of complicated emotions.
