Xiling Village is located on a hill by the sea and is extremely remote.
But there is a not-so-flat cement road leading directly to the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Hongcheng could even see a few crooked electric poles in the fields beside the road, and he feebly pulled the seemingly limp electric wires up the mountain.
The village chief of Xiling Village, who had received the news early, was waiting at the foot of the mountain with a smile on his face. Many men pushing wheelbarrows were parked beside him.
No wonder the village director was happy to see Zhang Hongcheng and his group.
Xiling Village, which is close to the sea and up the mountain, is not rich. During festivals, most families in the village cannot afford a good piece of clothing without patches.
Fortunately, Xiling is always visited by exploration teams from all over the place, and providing logistics support for the exploration teams has become a rare opportunity for the villagers to earn extra money.
"This year is pretty good," the village director said enthusiastically, as he called on people to help the mining bureau's gold exploration team move their belongings. He then whispered to the old accountant, "The exploration team from the ministry left just before the New Year, and the provincial geological exploration team followed in March and didn't leave until mid-May."
"Hahaha, it's only been a few days? The mining bureau's team is about to move in again, hehehehe."
The old accountant took a puff of his pipe and looked leisurely at the mountains behind him.
"If we could find a gold mine, our village would be truly prosperous!"
The old director shook his head.
"Come on, I thought the same as you a few years ago."
"But how many years have passed? Those experts say that the vegetation and rocks in our area look like they might contain gold, but they can't draw a conclusion and can't find the deposit. Sigh~~~."
"Now I see through it. It doesn't matter whether it's gold or not. It's enough for everyone to make some money."
He signaled with his eyes to the young cadre leading the team.
"Have you ever seen a cadre looking for minerals bring his family with him?"
"I guess he finds the mountains refreshing..."
Although the road up the mountain is a dirt road, it has obviously been repaired repeatedly.
Zhang Hongcheng held Qianqian in his arms and pulled Chu Miaohong up the mountain road, while Xiaonan rode on Lao Zeng's neck and looked around, appearing very excited.
Lao Zeng's physical strength was obviously much better than Zhang Hongcheng's. He could still walk briskly while carrying a child and some equipment. If Zhang Hongcheng hadn't asked him some questions from time to time, he would have walked to the front alone.
"Provincial teams have visited this area seven or eight times, and the experts from the ministry all say there's a high probability of gold," Zeng Bin said, eagerly gazing at the surrounding hills. "Unfortunately, no deposits have been found. The deepest hole I remember was drilled by Provincial Team 1, which was over 270 meters deep."
"Alas, there's not a trace of gold in the samples from the stratum."
"But the results of sampling from these holes have shown us that the strata and landforms near Xiling are increasingly suitable for gold prospecting!"
Seeing Zeng Bin talking about gold all the time, Chu Miaohong couldn't help but smile.
She thought again of the time when she and Zhang Hongcheng fell through the snow and found the roe deer cave.
Did this guy already have feelings for me from the beginning? Otherwise, why would he take the risk and grab my hand without any hesitation?
Feeling his wife's little finger moving playfully in his palm, Zhang Hongcheng glanced at her with a warning - I am the leader of the team now, and it is too much for me to hold your hand in public!
Zeng Bin didn't notice this, he was still talking about finding gold.
"Director Zhang, which cave do you think we should try tomorrow?"
Funds and time were limited, and Zeng Bin never thought of finding a new place to dig a hole.
"Let's go to the No. 1 pit opened by the Provincial Team," Zhang Hongcheng naturally chose the location where the fat man had "pointed". "It's the deepest there, and it will give the newbies in the team a chance to learn about the strata and related knowledge along the way."
......
The Harmony train is racing against the Fuxing train.
The fat man glanced at his wife and daughter who were already asleep beside him, then turned his gaze to the tablet in his hand.
On the tablet was an old autobiographical article.
The article talks about an incident that this senior encountered in 1982, which was the biggest setback and regret in his life.
After a long time, the fat man looked out the window and muttered to himself.
"Godfather, sometimes I have to admire your ability to connect all these things..."
......
June 1982, Hong Kong Island.
Inside several financial securities companies under Xiarun Company.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, filled with gloom and sorrow.
Several CEOs and the minister in charge of financial business were staring at the operators who were constantly answering the calls.
Everyone's breathing became heavy as they looked at the chalk numbers on the large blackboard that were constantly being changed by traders.
The development of Xiarun Company has never been smooth sailing, and "cutting through the waves" can better describe the development history of this company group.
In June 1982, Xia Run, who had just officially entered the financial market, encountered a major crisis.
The world gold price began to fall gradually in September 1980. By the end of May this year, the gold price had fallen by as much as 58.2% (real data).
At the beginning of the year, several financial companies under Xiarun officially joined the gold futures market and began short selling gold.
In the view of Xia Run’s analysts, this is a very safe investment, after all, this is the global trend.
And just as they expected, gold has fallen from $488 per ounce at the beginning of the year to $371 per ounce over the past six months.
But who knew that starting from June 1st, some people in North America began to spread the word that the data for the first half of the year did not meet expectations, and the price of gold immediately stopped falling.
