Ye Huan's head was filled with questions. In his meager knowledge, it seemed that only diamonds were worth more than gold.
"Diamond mine?" Ye Huan's eyes shone with surprise.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "It's either gold or diamonds. Are you crazy about money?"
"What kind of mine is it?"
Even Shen Rui straightened up at this time, obviously very interested in the Shen family's mineral wealth.
Shen Chongwu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Uranium mine."
Ye Huan was at a loss: "..."
Shen Rui suppressed his smile and showed a shocked expression.
"Old man, what is uranium...?" Ye Huan scratched his head hard, dandruff flying everywhere.
Shen Chongwu glared: "Ignorant and ignorant! If you don't even know uranium, how can you be a soldier?"
Shen Rui quickly put away his shocked expression and explained with a smile: "Uranium is a radioactive element. It is the heaviest element currently found in nature. Its atomic number is... Forget it, these are too Deep, to put it simply, this thing can be used as nuclear fuel after nuclear fission. At the same time, it can also be used to make nuclear weapons. Do you know about the atomic bomb? Its main charge is uranium 235. The explosion of an atomic bomb is enough to destroy a city..."
"Cousin, please slow down. I only have a middle school education, and the teacher didn't teach us how to build an atomic bomb when I was in school..." Ye Huan digested Shen Rui's explanation for a long time, and finally took a big tui : "Uranium is actually the ** in the atomic bomb, right? Right? If you had explained it more straightforwardly, I would have understood it earlier."
"Atomic bomb...**?" Shen Chongwu's eyes widened. He was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "You can understand it that way, but I don't really understand it. Anyway, it is an evil thing that can explode."
Shen Rui turned to Shen Chongwu and said, "Grandpa, uranium mine is a strategic mineral resource strictly controlled by the state. It cannot be given to a certain Si family, right?"
Shen Chongwu nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but our uranium mine is not in China, but abroad."
"What country?"
"There is a small country in North Africa. North Africa is in chaos and has been fighting all year round. There was a coup in that small country last year. A man named Mares George led the anti-Japanese army to capture the capital, seized power, and established a new government. One year later, the domestic situation gradually stabilized, so George sent a special envoy to China and gave us a natural uranium mine with very rich reserves."
Ye Huan's eyes widened: "Old man, are you telling a story? That guy named George worked so hard to make a revolution and seize power, and his purpose is to give our Shen family a uranium mine?"
Shen Chongwu glared at him. Then he chuckled and said: "This matter has a long history of grievances. It has to start from sixty years ago. More than sixty years ago, it was the period of the Anti-Japanese War. I was in northern Shanxi The guerrilla captain in the base area once led his men to a Japanese artillery tower and found a black man tied up inside the artillery building... At that time, my men and I had never seen the guy who was as black as coal and thought it was a ghost. Everyone was scared. Tui was so weak that one of his subordinates came up with a bayonet and was about to give him a blow. Fortunately, I stopped him. The people following me at that time were all a bunch of rough guys, and I didn’t even know the word Dou Da. To be honest, , I am still considered the most educated. When I was young, I was immersed in reading in my old house, and I can barely be called "well-informed". I remember that the book once mentioned some overseas anecdotes, and there are indeed people in the world who are as dark as charcoal. kind."
"I asked my men to untie the black man. The black man was very educated and actually understood English. He kept saying thank you to me in English. My men were worried. I had no choice but to wrong the black man and ask someone to give him a hand.
A pot of black dog was poured on him to make his blood pressure evil, so my subordinates dared to approach him... Later, I took him back to the camp and found a comrade who had studied abroad and understood foreign languages to act as an interpreter. After asking, I found out that the black man
He escaped from the British Concession in Shanghai. Although slavery had been officially abolished during that period, the Europeans still did not regard the indigenous people in overseas colonies as human beings. The black man was a laborer brought to China by the British.
, the black people couldn't stand it anymore, so they took advantage of the British people's unpreparedness and escaped from Shanghai. As a result, they had just escaped from the tiger's nest and fell into the wolf's den. At that time, China had been occupied by the Japanese. How conspicuous were the black people in China?
Like a bright light, he was caught by the Japanese as soon as he left the Shanghai Concession and locked up in a blockhouse. If my men and I were a step too late, this guy would be sent to the Japanese biochemical troops to be dissected like a pig.
Already."
"The black man was saved, and he was very grateful to me. I treated him well. I gave him food and drink, treated his injuries, and taught him Chinese. The black man was a kind man, and he patted his chest within a few days.
Zhuo asked to join our guerrillas and help me fight the Japanese. This was in compliance with the old saying, "A soldier who is a confidant will die." However, I thought about it for a long time and still didn't agree. The main reason was that the black man looked too intimidating. I told him
He said that his limitations in joining the guerrillas were too great. He couldn't go to the battlefield during the day. He was too conspicuous. His skin color was only suitable for night fighting. He couldn't smile during night fighting. When he smiled, he saw two rows of white teeth floating in the air. It was not only scary, but also
The target was also exposed..."
Ye Huan chuckled. The old man had a bad mouth when he was young.
"The black brother was very disappointed. I wanted to send him away. After all, our guerrillas were not rich at that time, so we couldn't let this guy eat and drink for free all day long. But he refused to leave, and always said he owed it.
It was a great kindness that I must repay. The situation of the Anti-Japanese War at that time was very serious. The Japanese raided my base area many times. I was very upset at that time and wanted only to send him away, so I asked the comrades of the underground party to help him.
He was put on an ocean-going ship to Africa and ignored him. However, before leaving, I still said a few words about the situation. I told him that China was undergoing a vigorous revolution and the situation was excellent. You should go back to your Africa as soon as possible.
When the revolution breaks out, we strive to liberate black compatriots all over the world, and everyone rushes to the revolution together..."
Ye Huan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "You just used this reason to trick him away?"
Shen Chongwu sighed and looked deeply: "Facts show that black brothers are still very simple..."
"It's not that black people are innocent, but that the guerrilla leader is too cunning. Old man, you are cheating me..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Chongwu glared at him, and Ye Huan hurriedly changed his words: "...It's not okay to trick brothers. What a good black brother. He traveled thousands of miles to come to China, but he didn't expect to end up in the hands of the captain of the Chinese guerrillas.
, you sent someone back to Africa with just a few words of deception, what a sin..."
Shen Chongwu made an exception and did not lose his temper when he heard this. Instead, there was a hint of shame on his face.
"The world is unpredictable and unpredictable. At that time, I didn't expect that the black man returned to Africa and actually organized a team. He learned some superficial tactics of guerrilla warfare from me and started a guerrilla war with the British in the colony. The British were so noisy
He has a headache. Twenty years after the end of World War II, Britain completely withdrew from the North African colonies. He has been fighting against the new government for decades. He will not change his ambition until death, and he can be said to be a famous African black hero..."
"Dead?"
"Nonsense, that black man is older than me. The average life span of Africans is generally very short. They died in the 1980s."
“So who is forming the new government in North Africa now?”
"The leader of the new government, Mares George, is the grandson of that black brother. Three generations of his family have devoted themselves to the anti-Japanese armed forces. It was not until last year that the clouds cleared and the moon came out. It was not easy..." Shen Chongwu said with emotion.
"Old man, you have done a great evil. With just a few words, you deceived me into becoming a traitor for three generations..."
Shen Chongwu glared and said angrily: "What does it mean to be a rebel? That is to join the revolution! This has been the truth since ancient times. I was a rebel a few decades ago. If the revolution had not succeeded, what would you do now?
He’s just a rebel brat!”
An angry word revealed the essence of the thousand-year war in the world. Ye Huan thought about it. He curled his lips and said nothing.
Shen Chongwu coughed twice and continued: "...the black brother is honest and kind. He has never forgotten the life-saving grace I gave him and educated his descendants. This kindness must be repaid sooner or later. After his grandson George established the new government
, the first thing is to send a special envoy to request the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, and sell the mining rights of a uranium mine with proven reserves in his country to China at a very low price, and uranium ore, a strategic resource,
Naturally, our country does not allow Si people to own it, but this matter originated from our Shen family, and the country cannot treat us badly. A few days ago, Chief No. 1 came to visit me, talked about this matter, and proposed the reason for mining this uranium mine.
The state is responsible for all the initial investment, accounting for 80%, while our Shen family does not need to contribute a penny, accounting for 20%, and I agreed."
Ye Huan and Shen Rui suddenly realized that the origin of this matter was like this. This sudden extra industry was really the result of unintentional intervention. No one expected that the black brother was so kind. After waiting for decades, he finally got it.
The kindness we shared back then is still there, and it's really a good story to tell.
The good causes sown back then are reaping good fruits today.
Ye Huan sighed: "It was not easy for the old black man who passed away. He struggled for so many years but his grandson was better than him..."
Shen Chongwu laughed and said: "If the predecessors did not plant trees, how could the descendants enjoy the shade? There is a cause and an effect. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the connection between me and him has never been broken... If not, what about his grandson?
How come you have the ability to dominate that small country in North Africa?"
Ye Huan and Shen Rui were stunned at the same time. Neither of them were stupid, and they immediately understood the meaning of these two sentences.
The two of them looked at him at the same time, and saw a trace of pride and cunning flash through Shen Chongwu's eyes.
Ye Huan understood.
Listening to what this means, it is estimated that the weapons used by the anti-Japanese militants, military training, etc. are probably inseparable from the behind-the-scenes promotion of the old man and the government. It turns out that old man Shen is the biggest behind-the-scenes boss who seized power in that small North African country. No wonder
As soon as the People's Republic of China was founded, they sent over such important uranium mines, crying and begging the old man to take it.
At this moment, Ye Huan's eyes changed when he looked at the old man.
He looks like a kind-hearted old man, but he is actually very sinister. He still refuses to settle down at his age, and his bad intentions have traveled across the ocean and caused harm to people in Africa.
The old man is very bad, but the good people are not.
Shen Chongwu said slowly: "I plan to give these 20% to you two. Shen Rui, you are a national cadre. Don't tell anyone about the uranium mine. It will have a bad impact if word spreads. You can take less shares and give them to me." You 9%, it doesn’t matter if Ye Huan is a soldier, he can get more. Besides, Ye Huan has been living abroad for the past twenty years and has suffered a lot. The Shen family has never taken care of him, so he should get a little more than you. I asked myself if the bowl of water is fair, do you have any objections?"
Shen Rui hurriedly straightened up and said respectfully: "I will do whatever grandpa says. I have no objection. I am older than Ye Huan, and I am a civil servant. I have nowhere to spend so much money. It doesn't matter whether you give it to me or not." "
Shen Chongwu nodded approvingly and turned to look at Ye Huan: "What about you? Do you have any opinions?"
"Old man, you always talk about strategic resources and shares. I don't quite understand. Can you be more specific? How much is this mine worth? To be honest, if a mine as far away as Africa is only worth a few hundred or tens of millions, Yes, I’m really not interested in having it. I’ll give it to whomever I want. I’m not short of money now.”
Shen Chongwu stared: "You bastard! Is it worth calling you back here to tell you this half-day story? Ten million is not even a fraction of it!"
Shen Rui explained with a smile: "Uranium mines are strategically controlled resources of various countries. Exports are strictly prohibited and cannot be bought even if you have money. If you have to measure it by value, well... this mine is worth at least tens of billions. And it’s still in U.S. dollars…”
Ye Huan's eyes widened in vain: "..."
This is really like an old African high jump - black (scared) me to jump.
If it is 10 billion U.S. dollars, then the 11% of its shares is 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to RMB 7 to 8 billion...
Even if you don’t inherit your mother’s Tamron Group, you should still be able to find your name on the Forbes rich list, right? From now on, you’ll eat fried dough sticks... Forget it, let’s stop buying fried dough sticks, buy a sports car, buy a Lamborghini, buy 100 Lamborghinis, we’ll be waiting in a row. It will form an S shape, and then it will form a B shape...
Shen Chongwu glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly: "I wonder if you can take advantage of these billions of dollars?"
"It's so eye-catching!" Ye Huan nodded heavily.
You have a good character. Yesterday I was just reading and replying to posts while browsing the forum. I didn’t expect that today my character would be so great that a flood of wealth would fall from the sky...
Shen Chongwu nodded and said: "I've made it clear about the shares, but there must be a name for this matter. Ye Huan, please bring your mother's Tenglong Group in. From now on, all the state's investment in uranium mines will be accounted for by the Tenglong Group." It is not convenient for the state to come forward. The mine is also taken over by state staff, and all matters are taken care of by them. But you and Shen Rui can send personnel to garrison. The public is the public, and the si is the si. After all, apart from the state, you and Shen Rui Rui is the largest shareholder. I'm old and can't take care of so many things. You can discuss the specific matters."
Ye Huan and Shen Rui nodded together.
Ye Huan felt very happy in his heart. He didn't pay a penny, but made billions for nothing. He actually had an overseas asset for no reason, and it was reasonable and legal. The arms dealer was so weak. Ye Huan was so weak at this moment. I really wish I could print a business card for myself with "Nuclear Weapon Raw Materials Manufacturer" written on it and hand it out to everyone I see...
…………
…………
Shen Chongwu was tired after talking for a long time and closed his eyes tiredly.
Ye Huan and Shen Rui said their goodbyes very wisely.
Before leaving, Shen Chongwu suddenly left Shen Rui alone.
"Ruier, do you really have no objection to the distribution of uranium mine shares?"
Shen Rui smiled faintly: "Grandpa, I really have no objection. Ye Huan has suffered a lot, and the Shen family should give him more compensation."
Shen Chongwu's turbid old eyes suddenly shone with light, and his sharp eyes turned around on Shen Rui's face, then he closed his eyes, nodded slowly and said: "It's okay, Shen Rui, the grievances of the previous generation belong to the previous generation. Well, your generation should not perpetuate these grievances. Only when you can let go and see things through can you live an open-minded life."
Shen Rui was startled by the meaningful words, and then his expression immediately returned to normal. He bowed respectfully and said, "I remember grandpa's teachings."
Walking out of the door, a warm spring breeze blew by, causing the branches of several weeping willows beside the pond to sway in the wind.
Shen Rui's smiling expression gradually changed, and his gentle and elegant face became ferocious and terrifying. The fists of his hands were clenched tightly and trembled due to excessive exertion.!
