What made Yang Jing feel a little disappointed was that the Porgera Mining District did not approve the application submitted by Yang Jing and his group to visit the mining district. The reason given by the other party was very "cold".
"The mining area is undergoing technical upgrades and renovations, and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering to visit."
A very strong reason, but one that is impossible to refute.
Faced with such a result, even Liu Zhaoming was a little bit unbelievable. You know, he and Adrian went to the mining area together to apply, and Liu Zhaoming used his own name, but he was still coldly rejected.
Guo Xiang asked Liu Zhaoming in confusion: "Teacher Liu, when you came to visit last time, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton were very welcoming. Why did they suddenly change their attitude today?"
Liu Zhaoming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Who knows? But I guess that the reason we were able to visit here smoothly last time was because BHP Billiton was carrying out a major cooperation project with China. At that time, BHP Billiton needed our country, so our application for a visit and inspection was easily approved. As for this time, although Mr. Albany is still the person in charge here, our country does not have any new cooperation projects with BHP Billiton or even Rio Tinto. On the contrary, there are still some irreconcilable differences with these two companies in terms of iron ore imports. They probably refused our visit to save our face."
After a pause, Liu Zhaoming continued his analysis, "Four private mining companies in our country have obtained permission from the Papua New Guinea government to enter Papua New Guinea to conduct exploration and development of precious metal mineral resources. In terms of mineral resources, this has already formed a direct competitive relationship with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. It would be strange if they let us visit their mining areas."
Yang Jing and his team were helpless in the face of this unexpected result.
"Let's go. Why are you still standing here? Are you going to let those guys laugh at you?" Guo Xiang said unhappily.
"My dear Xiang, don't be so angry. It's summer now and it's easy to get angry." Yang Jing joked with a smile.
Guo Xiang spat at the mining area in hatred, "These Australians are ungrateful and can never be tamed. They are clearly very dependent on China. It is no exaggeration to say that Australian mining companies are counting on our country to feed them. But when China treats them well, these ungrateful guys are as docile as dogs. But once they have even the slightest conflict with China, these guys don't know what "one step back, the sea is wide open" means. They still haggle over every little thing and even bite back from time to time. They are really a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"
Yang Jing patted Guo Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Well, you already know that these guys are a bunch of ungrateful wolves, so why bother with them? If a dog bites you, can you bite it back?"
"No, I won't bite it back. I'll stew the dog that bit me!"
"Isn't that the end of it? Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are giving us a hard time today. We will open a gold mine next to them that is even bigger than this one and make them mad! This is the most powerful counterattack."
Yang Jing's words somewhat relieved Guo Xiang's anger. He asked, "Then why are we still staying here? Let's go."
Yang Jing shook his head slowly, turned around and looked around, pointed to the mountain next to the largest main pit in the mining area and asked Chris: "Chris, are you sure you can fly the helicopter to the top of that mountain?"
Before Chris could answer, Liu Zhaoming said, "Director Yang, even if Mr. Barton can fly the helicopter up there, we can't go there. That mountain, including the town of Porgera, is theoretically Rio Tinto's territory. If we go up that mountain without their permission, they have the power to arrest us."
Liu Zhaoming's words made Yang Jing sigh helplessly, and he pointed to the mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters to the east of Bolgera Town six kilometers away and said: "Teacher Liu, we can't climb this mountain, so is it okay for us to climb the mountain over there?"
Liu Zhaoming pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, looked at the mountain six kilometers away, hesitated for a moment and said: "In terms of the scope of the Porgera mining area, that mountain should also belong to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. But it is far from the mining area. If we climb up the mountain, I guess no one will be bored enough to bother us."
Yang Jing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then our next task today is to climb that mountain. Teacher Liu, Xiang, if you two don't want to climb, you can find a cafe or restaurant in town to wait for me. Chris, Adrian and I will climb the mountain together."
Guo Xiang asked in confusion: "Old Yang, isn't it just a dilapidated mine? Do you really have to take a look?"
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I've never seen a mine up close in my life. Okay, don't worry, just wait for me in the town below. I'll be back in two hours at most."
Guo Xiang also knew that her brother had some secrets in the past two years. For example, her old man told her that when her brother was studying in London, he learned some magical skills from an old Taoist priest. But Guo Xiang thought about it and couldn't figure out when her brother, who had slept in the same room with her for two years, had learned anything from an old Taoist priest.
However, Guo Xiang has a high emotional intelligence. Since Yang Jing is unwilling to explain some things, she just pretends not to know.
