The deal with Daozi went smoothly, and the woman next to Daozi didn't say much, except that she wanted to cooperate with Lu Yuan.
Although Lu Yuan rejected her, the woman's eyes still revealed a great interest in him.
However, Lu Yuan did not want to linger here for too long; he felt at ease only after taking the money and leaving.
Daozi nodded helplessly, made a phone call, and then one of his underlings brought the money over.
Before leaving, the woman was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and looked at Lu Yuan again, asking, "Young man, your strength is limited on your own. Why don't you cooperate with us? We don't need much seafood business, just give us a channel, and we can give you 30% of the profits as a reward! This is a long-term plan!"
However, Lu Yuan sneered inwardly. What a joke! His seafood came from a dimensional space, so there was no way he could cooperate with them.
"No, the seafood has all been bought up directly, and they don't have any left there. I would like to cooperate with you, but there's really no way!"
Having said that, all that could be said was that there was nothing more she could do. The woman sighed, grabbed the knife, and got into the car, while her henchmen drove two semi-trailer trucks back to their base.
...
Two days later, Lu Yuan came to Chen Kaiming's residence again, but this time when he saw Chen Kaiming again, he found that the other party finally showed a long-lost smile.
"Haha! Lu Yuan! I didn't expect you to have solved all the funding problems! It seems like it's time for our mine to start operations!"
Looking at Chen Kaiming's smiling face, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of receiving a lot of high-quality dimensional crystals. However, Lu Yuan didn't have high hopes for this kind of thing. After all, the amount mined by the gold mining team last time had already disappointed him. Even if the mine could recruit more miners and some equipment this time, the output of this kind of ore would still be somewhat low. Lu Yuan just considered it a matter of trying his luck.
"Haha, it seems Uncle Chen has been waiting for too long!"
"Of course! This kind of deal might be a one-off transaction, so location is extremely important. Last time, a serious toxic fog broke out down there, so we must choose the right location this time. Otherwise, if we encounter toxic fog again after we've transported everything down there, all our efforts will be in vain!"
Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly after listening. He still vividly remembered the poisonous fog incident he had encountered last time. The miserable state he experienced after inhaling the poisonous fog was extremely unpleasant. Lu Yuan couldn't understand where the poisonous fog came from or what was inside it.
However, these things can't be rushed. After all, it takes several locations to determine the address. Not every place has dimensional crystals. If these things were really everywhere in the Rift Valley, Lu Yuan would have gone down there to collect them long ago. Why would he be painstakingly waiting for his dimensional crystal to give him a hint?
After chatting for a while, Chen Kaiming suddenly received a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Kaiming looked a little unwell. Seeing this, Lu Yuan subconsciously wondered if it was related to the mining operation, so he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, is there a problem with the mining operation?"
However, Chen Kaiming shook his head: "It's not that there's a problem with the mining, but getting Fatty Zhu out of here won't be easy! The people I found are asking for five million! And they won't negotiate! They say they can guarantee his safety!"
Upon hearing the price quoted by the other party, Lu Yuan immediately felt that it was ridiculously expensive.
"What? Five million? These people are crazy for money! Five million is enough for us to open a small mine! Why do they want so much money?"
"Sigh! These bastards are only charging such high prices because they have connections. There's no way to find someone else!"
Hearing that these people had connections, Lu Yuan immediately felt a desire to make contact with them. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Uncle Chen, what exactly do these people do? Everyone is trapped here now, so why do they say they have connections to get people out?"
Hearing this, Chen Kaiming glanced at Lu Yuan's expression without leaving a trace, only to find that the other party's face showed no emotional fluctuation, just some curiosity. After pondering for a while, he said, "Sigh, to be honest, these people's identities are extremely special. Ordinary people really can't come into contact with them. However, they made it clear beforehand that they can't reveal their situation to others. But... never mind, telling you won't hurt. These people are some senior geological engineers. They specialize in studying these geological structures and may have some knowledge about the causes of earthquakes, and may even know about the floating of some tectonic plates in the whole of China!"
"What?" Lu Yuan finally lost his composure when he heard this. After all, he had ended up here in order to find his family, but Chen Kaiming said that these people had secrets about the cracking of the tectonic plates. How could he not be excited!
Seeing Lu Yuan's agitation, Chen Kaiming was somewhat surprised and then asked, "Are you looking for them?"
Lu Yuan finally stopped hiding his intentions and nodded, saying, "That's right, I just want them to do me a favor! Uncle Chen, can you help me get in touch with them? I can handle the money problem! As long as I can get in touch with them, I'm willing to pay any price!"
After pondering for a while, Chen Kaiming finally nodded: "Of course, I can arrange for you to meet them. But let me make this clear first, these people hate it when others know their whereabouts. They only contact top-tier tycoons. If they decide you're not a tycoon, they might do anything to kill you. It's very dangerous, you need to understand!"
