Chapter 240 After all, we still have to rely on ourselves
"...Ning Beichen, if our technology becomes powerful, why should we be afraid of their suppression and sanctions?"
I don’t know how long she talked for, but Liu Yilin got a little tired and then stopped.
"I know, boss, but this is not something that can be changed by you alone or in an era. It requires a long process. After all, there are some things that we are an era behind them."
Ning Beichen had no choice but to say to her.
Liu Yilin didn't understand this truth, but she understood that when things happened to her, the feeling was still very uncomfortable.
"Boss, there is no need to be so pessimistic. There must be a way to reach the mountain. After all, we still have to rely on ourselves."
Ning Beichen comforted her.
However, this kind of comfort is equivalent to snake oil. It seems reasonable, but it cannot solve the actual problem.
Ning Beichen also sat down and was worrying in the office with her. He really wanted to help Liu Yilin, but it was okay to let him go to fight and kill. He was not good at such things!
But after all, Ning Beichen is a person who believes in action and is not used to sitting still and waiting for death, so he asked Liu Yilin.
"Boss, how much impact will being blocked and sanctioned by them have on you this time? Are you short of money? If so, I can think of a way."
Ning Beichen didn't have anything else, but he still had some money.
"It's not about money, it's about some materials and sophisticated instruments that they don't dare to sell to us even if they have money."
Liu Yilin said helplessly.
“Are there no domestic alternatives?”
Ning Beichen asked her, but as soon as his words came out, he knew that he was wrong. If there was a substitute, there would be no need for Liu Yilin to sulk here.
Liu Yilin shook her head and replied.
"No, we started relatively late with some cutting-edge instruments, and the technology has not yet met my requirements. Although I have my own production line, it still cannot meet my requirements."
"So what is the most important and indispensable thing for you right now?"
Ning Beichen couldn't help her technically, so he could only think of other ways.
Maybe some things are difficult for Liu Yilin, but not necessarily for Ning Beichen.
"The most lacking thing now is a very special silicon crystal ore, and the most important thing is a few machines that cost 80% of Tianmei Technology Group's funds. Everything else is easy to say. As long as it takes some time, it can always be solved.
"
Liu Yilin replied.
"Isn't that special silicon crystal ore available in China?"
Let’s not talk about the machine. This matter may be difficult to solve or not difficult to solve. The most important thing is the impact of sanctions, so Ning Beichen asked about the ore first.
"This kind of silicon crystal ore is quite special. It is currently only found in South Africa and the Arctic. It should not be found in China yet, or it may not be found at all."
"Ore has also been sanctioned?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
"That's not true. They probably don't know yet. This special silicon crystal ore is the main raw material for making optical chips, so this ore is not on the list of sanctions."
Liu Yilin told Ning Beichen this secret without reservation.
Generally speaking, the fewer people know about a secret like this, the better, but in her eyes, Ning Beichen is not an outsider.
"If it weren't for sanctions, what's wrong with the ore? It's causing you so much distress?"
Ning Beichen asked her curiously.
"One word, chaos!"
The factory we opened in South Africa is too messy. Even if the ore is successfully mined, there is no way to transport it back. I am planning to go there in the next two days to see if there is any way."
Liu Yilin said helplessly to Ning Beichen.
When Liu Yilin said a random word, Ning Beichen knew the reason.
People who don't know much about it can't imagine how chaotic it is there.
Especially for people who do business there, if they don't have two brushes, it will be even harder to make money or get something from there.
"I have already taken care of those people. They had nothing to do before, but now their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, especially after learning that our group has been sanctioned. Now they won't even let us transport the ore."
"I have a big appetite, but I just want more."
Ning Beichen said with great disdain, and then said to Liu Yilin based on his own experience.
"It doesn't matter if you give me money. Any problem that money can solve is not a problem. I'm not afraid of spending money. But now there are people over there who are deliberately blocking us and not letting us transport the ore at all."
This is what gives Liu Yilin a headache.
"Who is the other party?"
Ning Beichen thought for a moment and asked her.
"It's a new person in charge. This person in charge is a bastard. He took my money but didn't do anything. Instead, he made things difficult for us."
"It's within his jurisdiction, and our ore was robbed. He actually said that those people were opposition members. There was nothing he could do. Now he doesn't even want to see the person in charge of our mining area."
Liu Yilin said angrily.
"Why didn't the opposition come out earlier or later? Now that I have been sanctioned, they have come out. They not only hindered our transportation of ore, but also caused trouble in the mine every day, preventing us from starting work. Do you believe there will be
Is it such a coincidence?"
Ning Beichen shook his head. He had seen so many dirty things like this that he no longer thought there was anything strange about it.
But Ning Beichen knew that there was indeed a group of armed opposition personnel there, but he didn't know whether they had colluded with the person in charge.
"Boss, how are you going to deal with it?"
Ning Beichen asked her calmly.
"I plan to go over and negotiate with him in person. If he asks for money, I will give him money. As long as he can make my mining area operate normally, even spending some money to eliminate disasters is not a problem."
This was the only way Liu Yilin could think of.
"Boss, with all due respect, even if you negotiate with him in the past, things may not go so smoothly."
"It's obvious that he has the support of a certain superpower behind him. He did this on purpose. It's not something that can be solved with money. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to offend you just by himself."
Ning Beichen analyzed calmly.
A small and chaotic country with a backward economy like this generally does not dare to offend a superpower like the Ancient Eastern Country. He dared to do this. If there was no one behind him to support him, Ning Beichen would take off his own head and use it as a urinal.
"But I can't do nothing. The local manager I sent to negotiate with him last time was also detained by him. No matter what, I have to go over and deal with it."
Liu Yilin had no choice. Running a group was not as easy as she thought. Moreover, she was still a girl, so it was more difficult for a man to handle some things.
