Lin Lang was indeed not very educated; he could only read.
Even so, he didn't recognize some of the words on the frame.
While looking at the document, he glanced around and asked, "How do you pronounce this character?"
"Sulfur." The cadre next to him rolled his eyes.
"What about this one?"
"nickel."
Lin Lang suddenly realized, "Oh, this is nickel."
The gerbil slowly spoke, saying, "Lin Lang, you're the mining manager, how come you don't even recognize these few characters?"
Lin Lang curled his lip and said, "It doesn't affect my work."
"Learn more from others in the future."
The gerbil looked exasperated and said, “Everyone, our Sandcastle has two mineral deposits. Besides iron and copper, nickel sulfide ore accounts for 36%, and laterite nickel ore reserves in the deeper layers are also considerable, totaling 64%. By using pyrometallurgical smelting, high, medium, and low nickel pig iron can be mixed in a certain proportion to produce stainless steel. The nickel and nickel salts obtained from electrolysis can be used to produce materials such as batteries and nickel-based alloys. This is very important.”
"Because of the supply of these materials, a series of downstream industries can be developed, such as furniture, pipes, electrical appliances, light industrial machinery, chemical materials, construction, and automobiles. This is beneficial to our Black Street and has no drawbacks. Now, both mines have fallen into the hands of our master."
The conference hall erupted in enthusiastic applause!
Originally, there was only one mine. Because it was close to the Black Street, the Cabinet Office handed over the mining work to the political parties below. After a series of games and competitions, the Conservative Party and the Radical Party both gained a share of the pie. Later, with Jiang Tianshu's backing, Sand Rat operated well in the Black Street and gradually monopolized the mining of the mine, squeezing out the Radical Party factions such as the security team and the military. He made a great contribution.
However, Jiang Tianshu didn't dare to grab too much profit from the mines; at most, he would team up with the gerbils to earn some pocket money.
This is, after all, the pillar industry of Sandcastle, and everyone is keeping a close eye on it.
Sandcastle has been producing materials such as stainless steel and batteries.
Now that Chen Fusheng is willing to give this cake to Qin Che, it can be seen as a way for the radical party to give back to Master Qin for his help.
Because, by comparison, the most crucial thing for Sandcastle right now is food.
Operating this industry within the existing framework is not particularly difficult. With the technical support of radical parties and the large labor force in the underworld, it should be able to get on the right track soon.
Gerbil looked at Wolf: "This project is being sponsored by the mining company and assisted by the administrative district. Wolf, don't let the master down."
Lin Lang nodded: "I will."
The gerbil looked at Qin Che, who nodded at him again without saying a word.
"Next is the second topic..."
"Our Black Street is highly dependent on psychotropic drugs. Among its nearly 100,000 inhabitants, 60% show symptoms of long-term drug addiction. Now that the Master has obtained resources for drug production and research in Sand Dune, we want to free up the production capacity for psychotropic drugs and focus on routine pharmaceutical engineering and biochemical research. Psychotropic drugs will no longer be supplied."
These words caused an uproar in the entire conference hall.
Old Du stood up and said, "This won't do. Many people in the underworld like to take drugs. If the drug supply is suddenly cut off, there will be serious trouble!"
"The medicine supply must not be interrupted, sir!"
"Yes, the people in the underworld can't live without psychiatric pills!"
Some officials looked terrified, while only a few remained relatively calm.
This is a matter of interest. If the supply of psychotropic drugs is cut off, the people of the underworld will become demoralized, and the population that can form the labor force will be greatly reduced!
There's even a possibility of riots!
Gerbil shook his head: "Let me finish what I have to say. The supply of medicine must be cut off, but we can't let the Black Street people be free from their dependence on psychotropic drugs."
“In the past, the psychotropic pills that Jiang Tianshu provided to our Black Street contained an important ingredient called oxycodone, which is a morphine-like stimulant. After taking it, there is a chance of damaging the brain and suppressing the respiratory system, but at the same time, it has a significant analgesic effect.”
"We are not trying to cut off the supply of the drug, but rather to mix this ingredient with alcohol in production and reduce the dosage of oxycodone."
"The distillery has successfully produced the first batch of samples, which contain a small amount of oxycodone. This is because such stimulants have a cumulative effect when used with alcohol. In other words, by mixing the main ingredients of psychotropic drugs into alcohol during production, our costs will be lower."
The people in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment.
Some people cannot understand the meaning of the gerbil's language.
But people like Lao Du quickly realized it.
Qin Che had two objectives: first, to free up production capacity in the pharmaceutical factory and research lab; and second, to reduce the use of oxycodone by mixing it with alcohol to produce a product similar to a 'spiritual drink', which would be cheaper and more cost-effective, while also increasing the factory's output.
Qin Che, standing to the side, also sighed helplessly.
Before he transmigrated, things like psychotropic pills were the most contraband of contraband, but in the underworld, they were perfectly suited to his needs.
Want to ban drugs?
No one will agree or support it; there will only be opposition.
Because everyone needs medicine.
In the old days, countless people in the Black Street relied on the drug industry chain to make a living.
So he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
While maintaining the efficacy of the drug, transferring production capacity can also reduce costs, achieving two goals at once, so why not?
The gerbil coughed lightly and said, "The best name for this product is the one that Master came up with: 'Twilight Wine.' Once the first batch is produced, it will be distributed in the three districts outside the city walls."
As for the enzyme sugar wine, Qin Che has already agreed to wholesale it to the security team of the inner city wall so that they can distribute and retail it. Since the starch production is extremely large, the wine will no longer be a luxury item in Sand Castle. With such a huge market, how could they not take advantage of it?
Qin Che's ambition was to monopolize it.
In the Black Street, they specialize in selling Twilight Wine, which satisfies the drug addiction of the Black Street residents, absorbs the production capacity of pharmaceutical factories and research laboratories, and reduces the dosage of prohibited stimulants.
"This project will be undertaken by the administrative district, with Cao Wu, the organizer of the winery, assisting in its completion."
Behind the long table, a thin, middle-aged man slowly stood up, silently bowed to Qin Che, and accepted the order.
Cao Wu was formerly a senior official in a certain community. He was originally in the brewing business. In addition, he was steady in his work and didn't talk much. Most importantly, he had many friends in the security team and had good relationships with some lower-level cadres, which is why he was appointed as the manager of the winery.
The meeting continued.
As one issue after another was raised, the key members discussed how to assign different tasks.
Everyone shared the same premonition: the underworld would become incredibly prosperous in the future...
