Chapter 809: The Mouse Secretly Excavating a Private Mine!

Liang Shiyu sat before his office desk, sorted out his thoughts, and immediately dialed a number.

"Da Hong, come to my office for a moment."

A moment later, the office door was pushed open.

A man wearing a floral shirt stepped inside.

This person was none other than "Da Hong Ge," Hao Hongbiao.

Liang Shiyu pulled a cigarette from a cigarette case and handed it to Hao Hongbiao.

Hao Hongbiao took it, first brought it to his nose to sniff, then skillfully tucked it behind his ear and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?"

Liang Shiyu leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, "How is the progress on the Fluorite Mine in Julong Mountain?"

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Hao Hongbiao's mouth, and he quickly replied, "Boss, I have already sent the ore samples to the Malaysians. According to their feedback, the quality of the ore is exceptionally good, so they are willing to invest capital and equipment to help us carry out mining operations."

Liang Shiyu frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of a warning: "When dealing with these foreign businessmen, you must keep your guard up. You need to find out the market situation outside first; don't let us spend a large amount of manpower and resources only to end up with a pittance of profit—that would be a loss that outweighs the gain."

Hao Hongbiao immediately laughed and patted his chest in assurance: "Boss, you can put your heart at ease! I have a handle on it; I definitely won't be fooled by these foreigners."

Liang Shiyu tapped his fingertips lightly on the desk, his tone turning serious:

"Additionally, there is one more thing that needs you to handle. In a few days, the Provincial Geological Team will send people into the Julong Mountain Mining Area to conduct a thorough survey.

Find a way to keep an eye on them; you cannot let their survey work proceed smoothly.

The longer they are delayed, the more advantageous it is for us."

The smile on Hao Hongbiao's face faded slightly, and he replied with a firm tone:

"Boss, I have been keeping an eye on this matter; I already bribed some lackeys in Dayu County long ago. As soon as the people sent by the province arrive at the mining area, I will immediately have people go and cause trouble, ensuring they have no way to work in peace."

Liang Shiyu nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of instruction: "Be cautious when doing things, and distance yourself from it. Don't let any slips occur. There is nothing else; you go and get busy."

Hao Hongbiao responded with a "Got it," and turned to walk toward the door.

Hao Hongbiao's left leg had just stepped out the door.

Liang Shiyu suddenly remembered something and called out to stop him: "Wait a second!"

Hao Hongbiao immediately stopped and turned around.

"Anything else?"

Liang Shiyu stood up, walked to the safe in the corner of the office, opened the door, took out several neatly bundled stacks of cash, walked over, and slapped them into Hao Hongbiao's hand.

"You remember the accident at the Xiaowo Mine last year where people died, right? Zhang Gang's family is still pestering us. Take this money and handle this matter thoroughly; don't leave any loose ends," Liang Shiyu said in a deep voice.

Hao Hongbiao took the money, and upon hearing "Zhang Gang's family," a flash of anger instantly crossed his eyes; his tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "Wasn't the Xiaowo Mine matter handled long ago? We clearly gave them quite a bit of compensation at the time, so why are they still being so relentless?"

Liang Shiyu's expression darkened, and his voice dropped even lower: "Because of issues with the Hongling Group, the authorities are investigating mining accidents very strictly, and the atmosphere is very tense. This kind of thing must absolutely not be blown up, lest it bring trouble upon ourselves."

Hao Hongbiao's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly: "Boss, rest assured, this time I guarantee I will handle the matter cleanly; I will absolutely not add any trouble for you."

Liang Shiyu nodded and emphasized:

"After handling this, our future work focus will gradually shift to the extraction of the Fluorite Mine.

The current development trend of the coal mining industry is becoming increasingly unoptimistic. I heard the state is already preparing to introduce regulatory policies; we must prepare for the transition in advance, so we aren't caught off guard when the time comes."

"You are very thorough in your considerations! Don't worry, when I handle things, there will absolutely be no slip-ups," Hao Hongbiao quickly replied.

Hao Hongbiao left with the money.

Liang Shiyu leaned back in his office chair and picked up a Vajra bodhi bead bracelet to fiddle with.

A deep look gradually appeared in his eyes.

Li Na coming to find him just now had indeed stirred up some of the palpitations of his youth.

To the point that a slight ripple had stirred in his heart.

But he was not about to be used as a gun to go against the Government just because of this bit of personal emotion.

In fact, as early as the moment the Julong Mountain Fluorite Mine was discovered, he had already secretly arranged for manpower to quietly enter the mountain range to set up a layout.

Julong Mountain is a mountain range covering an extremely vast area; as long as one secretly excavates a mine shaft in the mountains and arranges a reliable team to be responsible for operations, one can continuously extract and transport the fluorite from the mountain, and the profits therein are immeasurable.

To put it simply, Hao Hongbiao is a mouse he keeps to help him steal real gold and silver from the mineral vein.

Guohong Mining made its fortune by stealing from small mines.

Nowadays, in the entire Zhangping County, wherever there are mineral resources, one can almost always find traces of Guohong.

On the surface, Guohong Mining has large mines, but what truly makes money are those small, privately opened mines.

By secretly sucking blood, they have accumulated vast wealth.

……

Hao Hongbiao sat inside the car, his fingers flipping through the thick stacks of cash.

The rustling sound was exceptionally clear inside the vehicle.

This money given by Liang Shiyu naturally fell into his own pocket.

"Notify everyone, tonight I'm treating you all to a meal and a massage—a full package, properly arranged!" Hao Hongbiao said to the lackey sitting in the passenger seat.

"Da Hong Ge, you are truly too generous!" The lackey quickly echoed, his tone full of respect.

Hao Hongbiao grinned and said dismissively:

"As long as I, Hao Hongbiao, have a bite to eat, I will never let my brothers go hungry! By the way, arrange for a few more people to keep an eye on Zhang Gang's family—it's been so long since the Xiaowo Mine incident, why are they still causing trouble? You pass on a message for me: if they continue to be this relentless, that is going against the Julong Mountain Mine Protection Team!"

"Understood, Hong Ge, I'll go handle this matter in a bit!" The lackey immediately nodded in agreement.

"Mm, remember well, this is a job the boss personally handed down; if it isn't handled well, I'll inevitably get scolded by the boss."

Fearing his lackey wouldn't take it to heart, Hao Hongbiao raised his tone and emphasized it once more.

……

At night.

Inside a KTV private room at "Hong Langman" in the county seat.

Hao Hongbiao held the new hostess girl and sang loudly.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Suddenly, a lackey leaned into his ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The smile on Hao Hongbiao's face vanished instantly, his brows furrowed tightly, and he cursed:

"Damn it! No wonder Zhang Gang's family is so bold; it turns out someone is pulling strings behind their backs! Go bring that guy to the empty room next door; I'm going to have a word with this troublemaker!"

Half an hour later.

The lackey said, "Da Hong Ge, the person has been brought over."

"Got it!"

Hao Hongbiao pushed the girl away and stormed into the room next door.

He pushed the door open and took a look.

A man was tied up with ropes.

Two underlings were pressing him firmly onto the sofa, leaving him unable to move.

This person was none other than the Reporter Meng Haibo!
