"Uncle Guo, why did you come to pick me up in person in such a cold day? If you have something to do, you can just give me a call. Why did you make such a trip?" Seeing Guo Dabao standing outside the gate waiting with his heavy body, Yang Jing would be lying if he said he was not touched.

Moreover, it was just after the Lesser Cold solar term in the lunar calendar, and the weather in Yanjing was at its coldest.

Guo Dabao smiled and said, "It's okay. I think some things are best said to you in person, so I came to pick you up at the airport on time. It didn't take long, so I wasn't tired." Then Guo Dabao saw the four foreign bodyguards standing behind Yang Jing, and smiled again, "You're really good, you went out for a walk and came back with four bodyguards."

Yang Jing smiled but said nothing. Guo Dabao gave a few instructions to his entourage and then turned to walk out. Yang Jing followed closely. The entourage of Guo Dabao was responsible for taking away all the luggage that Yang Jing had checked in.

Zhao Meng told Guo Dabao about Yang Jing's flight schedule on the phone, and asked Guo Dabao to prepare a van. This time when Yang Jing returned to China, Zhao Meng purchased a lot of American specialties for him, and the luggage shipping fee alone was a considerable expense.

The largest amount of this luggage is wine produced in Napa Valley.

Everyone says that the wine from Burgundy, France is good, but few people know that the Napa Valley on the west coast of the United States is also an important wine-producing region.

Napa Valley is just north of the San Francisco Bay Area. The quality of the grapes produced here is no worse than that of Burgundy, France. However, due to its fame, the wines from Napa Valley are not as famous as French wines. But in fact, the top wines produced in Napa Valley are definitely comparable to the top red wines produced by the eight major wineries in Burgundy, France.

In particular, the famous Screaming Eagle Winery is the most famous winery in Napa Valley. The wines produced by Screaming Eagle Winery are as popular as those produced by the eight major wineries in Bordeaux, France, and may even be more popular.

Fortunately, Zhao Meng was a local boss in San Francisco and had a good relationship with the owner of Screaming Eagle Winery, Mrs. Jean Phillips, otherwise he would not have been able to snatch 20 boxes of Screaming Eagle Red Wine produced in 2008 from Screaming Eagle Winery. You should know that Screaming Eagle Winery only produces 500 to 600 boxes a year, and Zhao Meng didn't know how many people's shares he had snatched.

The red wine produced by Screaming Eagle Winery in 2008 was second only to the 1992 batch in terms of quality and taste, and was very popular. Even though Zhao Meng had a close relationship with the boss, the cost of purchasing this batch of wine alone was more than $300,000.

Add to that American ginseng, Hawaiian coffee beans, abalone fruit and other things, and Guo Dabao would have enough to haul in a van.

Yang Jing sat in Guo Dabao's car, while Chris and his friends followed along with Guo Dabao's bodyguards in several other cars.

"Xiao Jing, you solved a big problem for me when you went to the United States this time. As your uncle, I really don't know how to thank you." In the extended Lincoln car, besides the driver and a bodyguard, only Guo Dabao and Yang Jing were left in the back seat. With the baffle pulled down, no one could hear what they were talking in the back.

"Uncle Guo, if you say something like that again I'm going to get off the bus!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say those words. But Xiao Jing, I came to you this time just to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

Yang Jing sat there and listened attentively.

"You have discovered another old oil field that can continue to be mined. Uncle Guo, I don't know how to allocate shares to you. According to the recoverable volume of the two small oil fields you found, the entire value of my San Francisco branch of Rongbao Mining is not as much as the two small oil fields you found. Logically speaking, since you gave these two small oil fields to Rongbao Mining, you should have the controlling stake."

Yang Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Guo Dabao waved his hand to stop him.

"Xiao Jing, listen to me first. There's no one else in the car today, so I'll tell you the truth. It's not that Uncle Guo doesn't want to give you the controlling stake, but Uncle Guo can't give you the controlling stake."

Hearing Guo Dabao's words, Yang Jing nodded thoughtfully. It was indeed similar to his original analysis. There was indeed a more powerful force behind Guo Dabao supporting him.

Sure enough, seeing Yang Jing's expression, Guo Dabao smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo said these words to you, I'm sure you can guess something. That's right, my Rongbao Mining looks like my own on the surface, but in fact I have the support of the country behind me. When I was doing coal in China, the country didn't take a fancy to me, but when I was ready to start the transformation and expand overseas, the country found me."

"As you know, the country has been developing too fast in recent years, and many things cannot keep up with the pace of development, especially mineral resources, which have become a major problem for the country. From iron ore to copper ore, from oil to natural gas, there are almost no minerals that our country does not lack. So, when I was ready to start the transformation to an outward-oriented country, the country came to me."

Yang Jing raised his hand and made a pause gesture, and Guo Dabao stopped talking immediately.

Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo, you don't need to tell me about this. I already know almost everything you said. I now know the main purpose of your company's overseas operations. However, I don't want to get involved too much. I just want to quietly earn my own money."

Guo Dabao looked at Yang Jing, smiled bitterly and said, "So, Xiao Jing, you have to understand what I mean. It's not that Uncle Guo doesn't want to give you the controlling stake. It's just that Uncle Guo can't give you the controlling stake."
