From the gate of heaven

Chapter 99 [Let's grow bigger and stronger together and create greater glories]

Time passed, hours passed.

In the afternoon, Jinhe City arrived.

Gold River City, as the name suggests, is a city built near a river rich in gold.

However, after years of mining, the gold near Jinhe City has gradually dried up, and now this city is more commonly known as the capital of the Canghai Kingdom.

Lin Ze stared at the appearance of the city, which was a bit like the scene when the city was just developing at the end of the last century.

There are some traces of modernization, but the overall feeling is full of backwardness and confusion.

From the perspective of drones, it can be seen that there are wooden houses and iron shacks mixed behind the reinforced concrete buildings on the main road. There are few vehicles on the street, and people walking on the side of the road are poorly dressed, disheveled, and in low spirits. .

The capital of a country looks like this, which shows the poverty and backwardness of the entire Canghai country.

Soon, Lin Ze came to a well-protected area in the center of Jinhe City. There was no backward look here. There were many reinforced concrete buildings hidden in the shade of green trees, and there were many side streets. Soldiers with automatic rifles patrolled.

This is where the official residence of the Canghai Kingdom is located, and the head of state of the Canghai Kingdom works in this area.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Jin Cheng, Minister of Mineral Resources of Canghai State. Mr. Prime Minister is already waiting for you."

As soon as Lin Ze's convoy stopped, a well-dressed official came up with a few subordinates.

Lin Ze couldn't understand Jin Cheng's words, but among the security personnel around him, there were special translators, which ensured the smooth communication between the two sides.

"Hi Minister Kim, let's go, don't keep Mr. Prime Minister waiting."

Surrounded by many security personnel, Lin Ze and Jin Cheng shook hands with smiles on their faces.

Before coming, Lin Ze had expressed his intention to visit and discuss business through the phone number on Canghai Kingdom's official website.

Lin Ze's identity as an entrepreneur in the Qixia Kingdom has received a certain amount of attention from the Canghai Kingdom, and they agreed to Lin Ze's request for a visit, and the two parties made an appointment.

Originally, they didn't pay too much attention to Lin Ze at first. There are many Qixia people who come to Canghai Country to do business, so Lin Ze's arrival is not too unusual.

However, when Lin Ze showed up in Jinhe City with many security personnel, he immediately attracted the attention of the government. More than a dozen vehicles formed a convoy, all with the logo of Jixiang Security Company on the vehicle body. It is estimated that there are several Ten guards.

Jixiang Security Company is a prestigious presence on the land of Golden Continent, and many people and forces who dare to offend have paid the price with blood.

With the background of Jixiang Security Company, Lin Ze's weight suddenly became important.

As the nominal ruler of Canghai Kingdom whose actual control area is only Jinhe City, the government of Canghai Kingdom may not care about Qixia Kingdom far away in the sky, but they definitely don't want to be troubled by the Jixiang Security Branch stationed near Xihai International Airport.

Therefore, the standard of welcoming Lin Ze was upgraded from being treated casually to the level of being personally greeted by senior officials of Canghai Kingdom.

After entering the government office of Canghai State, Lin Ze was warmly received by Prime Minister Jin Sheng.

Lin Ze was directly invited to have lunch together. After eating, the two parties gathered in the conference room to start discussing business matters.

Lin Ze said directly: "I want to buy the 50-year property rights of the Yulin Mountains area near Yulin City for mineral development. There is gold in this area that can be panned for gold. My bid is 8000 million Qixia coins, or the corresponding Materials at this price."

"If you need materials at this price, I can help you contact and ship them at the cost price, but you need to pay the shipping fee yourself."

Hearing this, Canghai State Prime Minister Jin Sheng and Jin Cheng beside him looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.

They were not surprised that there was gold production near the Yulin Mountains. In fact, this matter was not a big secret in Canghai Kingdom.

To their surprise, they had a windfall.

Yulin City is [-] kilometers away from Jinhe City, which doesn't seem very far away, but this is beyond the actual control of their city lord government.

Those in charge of the area around Yulin City are actually the local separatist forces.

The government of Canghai Kingdom cannot collect taxes from this area, and only rules this area in name.

What Lin Ze bought for 8000 million yuan was not the property rights of the mining area, but the legal name of mining gold in this area.

How to mine in the future, how to protect the safety of this mining area, and how to ensure that the gold he mined will not be robbed, all these are his own responsibility.

To put it simply, Canghai Kingdom exchanged 8000 million funds in the name of mineral ownership.

Rounding up is approximately equal to prostitution.

Without any hesitation, almost the second after Lin Ze put forward his needs, Jin Sheng directly agreed: "Mr. Lin, you are welcome to invest in our Canghai Country. We need food, medicine and clothing worth 8000 million. Supplies."

"We'll give you a list of what you need later."

In this case, agreeing one second later is disrespectful to money.

For small countries, it is not safe to even buy something. If the supplies are robbed on the road, they have nothing to do.

Lin Ze promised to help them contact the cost price of the materials, which is already a great help. In this case, the actual value of the 8000 million materials has exceeded [-] million, and it is not a big deal to pay some freight.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with."

Lin Ze reached out to shake hands with the smiling Prime Minister.

Jin Sheng felt that they made a profit, and Lin Ze also felt that he was not losing money.

Buying a legal approval document is also necessary for Lin Ze.

No matter how weak the Canghai government is, it is a legitimate government recognized by the international community.

With the official approval from Canghai Kingdom, Lin Ze can act boldly, and if he encounters any problems, he can use violence to overcome them.

For example, Lin Ze was robbed by gangsters in the process of mining. Without legal approval, he was mining illegally, and he deserved to be cheated.

But with this legal approval document, under normal circumstances Lin Ze can directly command the 50 guards around him to shoot, protect his own property and kill the criminals. Do not violate the code of conduct of these security personnel.

If you encounter someone you can't beat, you can also ask the Qixia Kingdom Navy for long-range artillery support.

The navy is obliged to protect the lives and property of taxpayers in the country.
-
After getting the legal approval, Lin Ze called in front of Jin Sheng.

Contact Zhao Wenrou in China and ask her to help purchase the materials needed by the Canghai government and find an international freight company to transport them.

Going to live in the guest house arranged by Jin Sheng, Lin Ze continued to make calls, and arranged for Zhao Wenrou to purchase all kinds of equipment and materials needed for the next gold mine in China, and send them by sea together with the materials Jin Sheng needed.

The next day, Lin Ze set off again with the security personnel and headed for Yulin City.

Compared with when he entered Jinhe City before, he was unknown.

This time when Lin Ze came to Yulin City, he was warmly welcomed by a local snake.

At the gate of Yulin City, Zhang Hai formed a convoy with hundreds of younger brothers armed with guns to welcome Lin Ze.

"Aze, I haven't seen you for a while."

Zhang Hai, an arms dealer in Yulin City, opened his arms enthusiastically and embraced Lin Ze.

This person is very familiar with Lin Ze. Lin Ze has basically bought all the weapons and equipment he bought over the years from him, and also provided him with a lot of needed materials. The relationship between the two parties has been maintained well.

The last time the two met was about half a month ago. Lin Ze saw the power of a peerless master. In order to alleviate his fear of insufficient firepower, he bought a lot of weapons and equipment from him.

Last night Zhang Hai knew that Lin Ze was coming, and he would continue to do business here for a long time. This was in stark contrast to Lin Ze's hasty appearance before.

Zhang Hai felt very happy, and felt that he could take the opportunity to deepen the relationship between the two parties, so he took the initiative to greet him this time.

"Ah Hai, I haven't seen you for a while."

Lin Ze replied with a smile.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lin Ze was taken by Zhang Hai to his villa to participate in the banquet that had already been prepared.

The security personnel protected Lin Ze all the way and helped him eliminate all possible threats such as ambush and poisoning.

Lin Ze pretended to reprimand these security personnel to maintain his superficial brotherly relationship with Zhang Hai.

After the meal, there was no problem, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

Lin Ze and Zhang Hai talked alone.

When Lin Ze bought the gold mine before, he didn't avoid the security personnel around him because they needed their translation and there was nothing bad about the gold mine.

On the contrary, Lin Ze just wants to let others know that he is opening a gold mine.

And the next thing to discuss with Zhang Hai is not suitable for outsiders to know.

And Zhang Hai, a fat man of three hundred catties, could not pose a slight threat to Lin Ze even with a gun, and Lin Ze was not afraid that something would happen if he left the security personnel.

"Ah Hai, you also know that I came here this time to open a gold mine."

Lin Ze started talking.

"I know, you told me when you had dinner before."

"However, as a local snake who has been here for a long time, I also want to tell you about the difficulty of mining here. First of all, the first problem is that there will be many robberies and thefts here."

"Actually, right now, there are quite a few domestic people who have set up equipment to secretly pan for gold in the Yulin Mountains, and then many local people have formed gangs to rob these people's equipment and the gold they mined. Some are not particular about it. And kill."

"After all, there is no surveillance in this place, and the power of the government is almost nonexistent. Let alone a foreigner, it is difficult to find the murderer if a local dies."

"The second problem is that in Jinsha City next to Yulin City, there is a local warlord called the Canghai Cooperation Alliance. They have about [-] troops under their command, and they come to Yulin City regularly to mow Leeks, catching gold diggers is a huge fine and confiscation of equipment.”

"The third problem is medical conditions. All kinds of viruses and bacteria that have been extinct in China are rampant here. If you want to mine, you need to pay special attention to sanitary conditions."

"The fourth problem is the supply of materials. There is no industrial system here in Huangjinzhou. If you want to obtain food, medicine, and various equipment and fuel, you need to transport them from outside. The cost is very high and it takes a long time. But you have This channel, this one is not a big problem for you."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hai paused, and after Lin Ze digested it, he continued: "In summary, I recommend that you buy more weapons and equipment from me, and then recruit more reliable guards to protect the mining area. That way nothing is lost.”

Zhang Hai didn't have any bad intentions.

As an arms dealer who buys goods from the Jinhe Alliance and distributes them on the Golden Continent, he still really hopes that Lin Ze can gain a foothold in Yulin City.

First, he can sell more arms and equipment. Second, with Lin Ze here, the supply of supplies will be much more abundant, and it will be much more convenient for him to buy some things he needs. This is a matter of mutual benefit. .

So what Zhang Hai said at the moment was extraordinarily sincere.

"Well, it's not easy to dig gold mines to make money, so I want to cooperate with you, Ah Hai, and let's grow bigger and stronger together and create greater glories, how about it?"

Regarding the problems and difficulties mentioned by Zhang Hai, Lin Ze had already thought about them before coming here.

If he stays and works here for a long time, everything will become very simple, but as a trader in two worlds, he cannot stay here for a long time, and this requires a reliable partner to help him keep an eye on the situation. The development of the gold mine ran.

For Lin Ze, it doesn't matter how much gold this gold mine can dig out.

But having this gold mine is convenient for Lin Ze to tell stories and wash away the gold brought back from other worlds, which is very important.

"Really? How to cooperate?"

Zhang Hai suddenly became interested. He has been operating arms here for many years, the market size has basically stabilized, and the money he can earn each year has been fixed.

Now that there is a plan to expand the business scale, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

From what Zhang Hai said about the gold mine before, we can know that he has actually studied the matter of opening a gold mine for a long time, and he himself is also using gold to make money on a small scale.

It is only because there is no stable supply of gold panning equipment and fuel materials that this has not been done on a large scale.

Now that Lin Ze's arrival has made up for his shortcomings, the cooperation of the two of them is really possible to become bigger and stronger and create greater glories.

"First ask you a question, if you have enough resources to support, how many people can you pull up locally."

Lin Ze asked before explaining his plan.

"As you can see, I have about 150 core personnel, plus other affiliated personnel who can influence and mobilize, about 2000 people."

"If you temporarily recruit some peripheral personnel, you can call up a maximum of 5000 people."

Zhang Hai replied.

"Then it's no problem, 5000 people are enough, so we don't have to worry about the warlords coming from the next city to cut leeks."

Lin Ze nodded and began to explain his plan to Zhang Hai.
