Chapter 919: Gambling on a Mine is Like Opening a Blind Box!

Qinge's business model mainly revolves around E-commerce, so there is no need to stock goods, and all funds remain in their own hands.

Sun Hai now has a massive cash flow in his hands!

The next day, Sun Hai arrived at Hongling Group and, with Tang Ye as a witness, signed the letter of intent for cooperation.

"Boss Li, happy cooperation!"

"Boss Sun, you are too straightforward. From now on, we are partners."

"Indeed, I hope we get rich together from here on out!" Sun Hai smiled.

In the afternoon, Sun Hai had the money transferred to the new company's account.

Li Na still greatly admired Sun Hai's boldness.

One must know that in 2008, not just anyone had the strength to easily produce a cash flow of forty million.

After all!

This is gambling on a mine!

It is like opening a blind box!

Li Na underestimated Sun Hai's trust in Tang Ye.

Back then, he could take all the money he earned in the stock market and stake it entirely on Qinge's reform.

Today, although forty million is a lot, it is not his entire net worth, so he did not have any hesitation!

"Boss Li, the money is in place; every step from here on must be legal and compliant," Tang Ye reminded Li Na.

Li Na knew that Tang Ye was worried she would follow her father's old path. "Secretary Tang, don't worry, I will walk every step steadily."

Tang Ye took out two business cards.

"Xia Heng is the person in charge at the Land and Resources Bureau; I have already spoken to him. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me;

Chen Shengyuan is a junior schoolmate of Li Zhewen and runs a professional surveying company. The further surveying of the mining area will have to be handled by them."

Li Na did not expect Tang Ye to have considered things so thoroughly for her, and she hurriedly accepted the business cards. "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Tang."

After Tang Ye left, Li Na returned to her office and dialed Xia Heng's number.

"Director Xia, this is Li Na."

"Hello, Boss Li!" Xia Heng reacted quickly. "Secretary Tang mentioned to me that you opened a new company and want to apply for exclusive mining rights for a piece of land."

Li Na nodded slightly. "Yes, I wonder what the procedure is?"

"Come to our bureau. Since this is a matter entrusted by Secretary Tang, we will certainly help you handle it," Xia Heng promised with a smile over the phone.

Hongling Group originally started in mining, so it was not surprising that they established a new company to apply for exclusive mining rights.

The next morning, Li Na arrived at the Land and Resources Bureau and met with Xia Heng.

Xia Heng did not say much; he arranged for people to prepare the materials and then personally helped Li Na pull strings.

Chen Qing was somewhat surprised when he saw these materials.

"Li Na wants to secure exclusive mining rights for a piece of wasteland for sixty million?"

Xia Heng nodded slightly. "Yes, this matter was entrusted by Secretary Tang. To be honest, this land has no value!"

Chen Qing picked up a calculator, pressed the numbers, and calculated the cost-effectiveness of the mining rights.

For the Government, it was a very cost-effective deal.

"Once this money arrives, the salaries of all the teachers in the county can be paid. You must supervise this matter as soon as possible."

Having said that, he returned to his seat and signed his name.

For Chen Qing, there was no need to consider whether Li Na would lose everything.

The county's financial situation this year was much better than in previous years, but money was still needed everywhere, so the sudden influx of a large sum of income made Chen Qing feel quite happy.

In his view, Secretary Tang was secretly supporting him, and he could not drop the ball.

Five days later, Li Na successfully obtained the exclusive mining rights for that piece of land.

The relevant departments in the county did not pay much attention to this because the land was an uninhabited wasteland, so many people felt that Li Na was being a bit bored and over-involved.

Tang Ye contacted Li Zhewen and asked him to help introduce a professional surveying company.

Two weeks later, an exploration team consisting of twenty people entered the northern part of Julong Mountain to conduct key surveying.

Tang Ye reminded Li Na to have the exploration team increase their surveying efforts on the northwest corner.

Although Li Na did not know the reason, she still communicated with the team according to his request.

The exploration team worked day and night, and after nearly a month of professional collection, they finally obtained nearly a hundred samples.

Next was sampling and analysis; through the analysis of the ore-forming background and ore-forming laws, it was preliminarily determined that a high-grade copper mine with significant reserves existed in this area.

Of course, this was only a conclusion drawn from shallow borehole analysis. To determine its actual scale, ore grade, and mining difficulty, further deep drilling and sampling, as well as a series of complex and professional analyses, would be required to reach a conclusion.

Even so, upon receiving the news, Li Na was extremely excited.

Her first reaction was to dial the phone of her partner, Sun Hai.

"Boss Sun, I have good news to tell you!

After more than a month of exploration.

It is finally confirmed, it is a copper mine!

Perhaps, it can reach the scale of a medium-sized copper mine."

Li Na was so excited that she even choked up and shed tears.

"This is a happy thing, why are you crying?"

Li Na sighed, "Boss Sun, I am too excited. For you, perhaps this investment is just the icing on the cake, but for me, this is an unprecedented opportunity. I staked my entire net worth here; if I failed, I would have no chance to stand up again."

Sun Hai laughed, "For me, I also feel the pressure. However, I trust Tang Ye. His judgment has never been wrong."

Li Na wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I am going to call him and tell him this good news."

Hanging up the phone, Sun Hai stroked his chin and began to hum a tune.

He hadn't expected that a trip to Dayu County would yield such a massive harvest!

He had forgotten to ask Li Na how much money this mine could earn.

However, judging by Li Na's reaction, it shouldn't be a small sum.

Sun Hai sighed to himself; Tang Ye was truly his god of luck.

……

Li Na dialed Tang Ye's phone number.

Hearing that Li Na's voice was a bit hoarse, Tang Ye thought something had happened to her.

"Boss Li, have you run into trouble?"

"No, I'm calling to tell you some good news. The exploration team sent word that they discovered a copper mine over there; it has reached a medium scale, and preliminary estimates value it at over one billion!"

Upon hearing this news, Tang Ye was also somewhat surprised and taken aback.

Horsetail is generally associated with gold mines, so the biggest surprise would have been finding a gold mine; even a small gold mine would have meant striking it rich.

However, even though it wasn't a gold mine, discovering a medium-scale copper mine was still quite good.

"What do you plan to do next?" Tang Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Na understood what Tang Ye meant; there were currently two options: the first was to transfer the mine to recoup the investment quickly, and the second was to develop it herself.

Li Na smiled and said softly, "Secretary Tang, although the exploration company's final analysis results aren't out yet, it would be a real pity to transfer it. If the copper ore can go through our metallurgical equipment, the profits will multiply several times over."

Tang Ye picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and pondered, "Since you are confident, then go ahead and set up the mining company! I will support you with all my might!"
