Qiao Daming looked embarrassed. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with the two of them, feeling grateful:

"Today I finally realized the true meaning of the saying, "Every row is like a mountain." In the past, I thought too simply. I always thought that after collecting samples, I would let people test them, and if I got the data and found it feasible, I could start mining. Who would have thought that there was more to it?

There are so many ways.”

After hearing his stupid words, Zhou Aaron shook his head: "Opening a mine is not as simple as you think, nor is it as simple as we said. Take veins as an example, some only have high content in the shallow surface layer, and some have high content in the middle layer.

, there are also cases where the superficial layer content is low but the underground content is high.”

"In short, it is not easy to succeed in anything in the world. In the past few years, many people in Yicheng have poured into this industry. Do you think how many people can succeed? Many of them have lost all their money.

Do you know why these people lose money?

Others make money and they lose money. The reason is very simple. They are all ignorant young people who are jealous when they see others making money. As a result, they borrow a lot of money from relatives and friends, and then fall into the mines in the mountains.

, there are not a few people who can’t even stand up.”

Zhou Yalun came into contact with people from all walks of life in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and there were also friends who wanted to win over him and persuaded him to always invest in a mining industry.

He didn't know much about this business, so he wasn't impulsive.

There is a Xiang Yisen in his family who has invested in this area, so he is also paying attention to this industry. If he pays attention, he will understand it.

Two years ago, I invested in a mine with a few good friends, and the results were pretty good. They made back the money they invested early.

However, it is precisely because he entered this industry that he understands it better.

It is true that many bosses invested money and lost all their money.

The mine you bought cannot produce ore, so it is obviously worthless. And the capital you initially invested cannot be recovered. At most, you will only have a few mining and mineral processing machines left.

In fact, the mine boss believes in metaphysics the most. The machine you buy is the property of a bankrupt industry, and others think it is unlucky, so it usually cannot be sold at a high price.

Therefore, if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are invested in starting a mine, if no ore is produced, then it is foreseeable that the mine will be left with only a few machines worth several thousand dollars.

When Qiao Daming heard what Zhou Yalun said, cold sweat was pouring on his forehead. He didn't know if he would be able to succeed if he plunged into it.

But he knows that once he loses money, his family will be really damaged and will not be able to recover in ten or twenty years.

How many twenty years are there in life?

As long as he loses money on this investment, he may never stand up again for the rest of his life.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with sadness: "Maybe you are right. In fact, my current life is quite comfortable. My husband and I receive a fixed salary every month, and we can still go to work at home after get off work. Setting up a stall on the street can make more money than both of us earn in one month.

If we really don't open this mine, we can live a good life. There is really no need to rush into it without understanding it. If we lose money, it will really outweigh the gain."

Xiang Yisen smiled and did not persuade him any further.

After dinner, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat for a while, before Chen Yuzhu woke up leisurely.

Yu Qing asked Chen Yuzhu to wash up and have dinner before letting the couple leave.

After seeing off the guests, Yu Qing finally settled her worries. She only hoped that the couple would have a good outcome when they returned home.

In this day and age, there are very few couples who can still have such a good relationship without having children after ten years of marriage!

She believed that if the couple had a child, their life would be happier.

...

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yu, you are finally here." When Sun Jingmeng saw Xiang Yisen's off-road vehicle entering the factory, he ran over immediately.

"Almost all the guests we invited have arrived, and the celebration will begin soon. Do you have any special requests?"

"I don't have any special requirements, just keep everything as usual!"

Xiang Yisen got out of the car.

Sun Jingmeng very discerningly ran over and opened the passenger door, letting Yu Qing get out of the car.

The celebration venue is located in the garden square of the factory. The square is now crowded, and most of the invited guests and employees have already arrived.

The weather in April is warm and comfortable, with no heavy rain or scorching sun. Just like everyone's mood today, the sky is clear and everything is full of life.

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yu, morning!"

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yu!"

...

Along the way, everyone will greet everyone they meet head-on.

Xiang Yisen and Yu Qing said hello to each other if they knew each other, and smiled back if they didn't know each other.

When they reached the front, both of them were smiling a little stiffly.

All units in the city received invitations, and each unit also sent representatives to attend the celebration.

The Municipal Road Construction Machinery Factory was also invited, and this time Mi Qianjin was also invited.

In the past ten years, the road construction machinery factory, which was originally very profitable, has already gone downhill, especially in the past two years, it has been on the verge of bankruptcy.

It is said that a factory on the verge of bankruptcy like this would not receive an invitation letter from a diesel vehicle manufacturer, but I don't know whether it was Xiang Yisen's intention or Feng Yuchang's mistake.

Anyway, the road construction machinery factory received the invitation letter.

Mi Qianjin looked at the husband and wife duo on the stage with a gloomy expression. Now the beautiful couple on the stage were in compliance with the old saying: ten years to the east of the river and ten years to the west of the river, the rise and fall are unpredictable!

I think back then, when he was first assigned to the Road Construction Machinery Factory as the deputy director, he was very prosperous. Who would have thought that in just ten years, his former glory would no longer exist.

Even Luo Qijun, who came back with him and was not as good as him in the past, is now doing better than him because he entered the business department, and his future is bright.

Back then, he had dismissed the "bad wife", but after leaving him, his career was like a motor, soaring!

Even the appearance that he disliked at the beginning had undergone earth-shaking changes and became more and more beautiful. When he saw her again in ten years, it seemed that time was treating her particularly favorably.

Mi Qianjin touched his temples. Due to poor performance in the factory, he had been anxious these past years and his temples had turned gray.

In the stands, even the city leaders treated them as big taxpayers with courtesy, and they were vaguely trying to curry favor with them. All these changes happened quietly, and by the time he realized it, there was already a huge difference between them.

At the beginning of the celebration, city leaders came to the stage to deliver speeches, and factory leaders came to the stage to deliver speeches, summarizing the past ten years and looking forward to the next ten years.

The employees below heard this with excitement. Who could have imagined that the factory that was about to close down would become one of the top three enterprises in the province in just ten years.

And they are one of the top three companies. Now every worker in other factories does not envy them.

The factory offers good remuneration and benefits, which many workers would not envy.

Lin Jiang listened to the long speech on the stage and glanced at the rice factory director of the road construction machinery factory sitting next to him.

He and Xiang Yisen were good friends, so he knew that Xiang Yisen worked in the road construction machinery factory for several years. In other words, Mi Qianjin was Xiang Yisen's leader.

"Hello, rice factory director, I'm Lin Jiang from the Mining Bureau. I'm glad to meet you here."

Mi Qianjin stretched out his hand and shook it, "Hello, are the people from the Mining Bureau here too?"

Lin Jiang didn't know the relationship between Mi Jinjin and Yu Qing, and thought he was specially invited by Xiang Yisen.

He was very enthusiastic about Xiang Yisen's friends, "Well, Mr. Xiang has contacts with our Mining Bureau, and he also invited us this time."

Mi Qianjin raised his eyebrows. He couldn't understand why Xiang Yisen had contact with the Mining Bureau when he opened the factory. "He can still have contact with you?"

"Of course!" Lin Jiang was very proud and told the story that Xiang Yisen started to open the mine a few years ago, and the mine was rich in veins and was still being mined seven or eight years ago.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, everyone in their circle knows it.

It's just that the rice factory manager next to him doesn't seem to know about this. Has Yisen not been in contact with him in these years?

"The director of the rice factory doesn't know about Mr. Xiang's mining?"

Mi Jinjin was angry that Lin Jiang didn't have the social tact. Why should he ask clearly about certain things?

He smiled coquettishly: "I really don't know about this."

Lin Jiang's smile was a little distant, and he nodded: "If Mr. Xiang didn't tell me, it's normal that you don't know."

After hearing this, Mi Qianjin turned his face to the side. He had never seen anyone so incapable of changing his words!

Lin Jiang glanced at Xiang Yisen and his wife on the stage, and then said to himself: "This mine is divided into three shares. Not only Mr. Xiang has a share, but his father-in-law in the provincial capital also participated in one share."

As he said that, he looked at Mi Qianjin and asked with a smile: "You know his father-in-law, right? Let me tell you, the xx supermarket in our city is his chain store now. Not only in our city, but also in the provincial capital and other places in the province.

Mr. Xiang’s father-in-law has opened a branch in the city. Do you know where Mr. Ruan got the money to open so many supermarkets?”

Not to mention Mi Qianjin's shock when he heard the news. When he heard his question, he subconsciously asked: "Where did the money come from?"

"Of course it's the money earned from mining!" Lin Jiang laughed loudly, thinking that the rice factory director was a bit stupid, and didn't know how he got into the position of factory director?

Mi Qianjin's face darkened: "..." What's so funny about this?

Lin Jiang noticed Mi Qianjin's expression. He gradually stopped laughing and coughed: "Ahem, Director Mi, I heard that your road construction machinery factory wants to transform?"

The rice factory director frowned, "There's no conclusion yet on this matter. Where did you hear the news?"

The higher authorities do intend to transform the machinery factory, but this is just an intention. Whether it will be implemented or not has yet to be decided at a meeting to discuss.

Lin Jiang waved his hand in embarrassment, "If you think it's the wind, just think it's the rain, just asking around."

Mi Qianjin nodded and said nothing. He used practical actions to show that he did not want to continue chatting with him.

Lin Jiang glanced at the back of his head, shook his head, and focused on the stage.

Mi Qianjin was relieved to see Lin Jiang's interest. Afterwards, he chatted with the people on the other side for a few words, made an excuse and left the venue.
