"Haha, that's great!"
Before Qi Minglin could say anything more, Chen Feng suddenly spoke up from the side.
"Boss, what if you get all five? How are you going to celebrate?"
"All five roots?" Zhang Ce was taken aback upon hearing this.
To be honest, he never even considered the possibility of having all five.
Having four is already a luxury, let alone five.
"If all five are there, then I'll open the last bottle too!" Zhang Ce said resolutely.
"Damn, if I can get five of these, I'll give you a ten-year-old cured pork!" Li Guanghao added to the bet.
"What do you want to add?" Chen Feng asked Qi Minglin with a smile.
"I...I'll add another mouth." Qi Minglin chuckled.
"Haha, let's draw the results and see if we can get five!" Chen Feng urged Qi Minglin to test quickly.
Upon hearing this, Qi Minglin immediately began using the equipment, which started operating under the tense gaze of everyone.
After a while, the test report came out, and Qi Minglin froze on the spot when she saw it.
"My God, there are still five more!" Qi Minglin gasped, hardly believing her eyes.
"Really five?!" Zhang Ce's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he subconsciously touched his head, exclaiming in utter shock.
"Phew, five sticks, there really are five sticks! My goodness, this is unbelievable!" Li Guanghao said incredulously.
"Boss, it seems you're not going to be able to keep your two bottles of Moutai," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"If I can't keep it, I can't keep it. If opening two bottles of Moutai leads to the discovery of a rare earth mine, I'd rather open one every day!" Zhang Ce said without a care in the world.
In his opinion, there couldn't be a better deal!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Richeng took a deep breath, his heart sinking to the bottom.
It can be said that the outcome he least wanted to see has occurred, and he simply doesn't know how to express his current feelings.
The staff members nearby were also overjoyed upon hearing the news.
The fact that all five samples tested positive for rare earth elements means something.
This means that the area where the piles are being driven is actually filled with rare earth minerals!
In the past, they would never have dared to even dream of such an area.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but admire Chen Feng even more. It was all because of his persistent efforts that they came to this place to search for rare earth elements again.
"How long does it take to determine the specific mineral content?" Zhang Ce couldn't help but ask.
"That will take a long time, probably several days, and we'll need to add more equipment later."
"In a few days, we'll know exactly how much rare earth minerals are in this mine!" Qi Minglin said with anticipation in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, as long as it's there, that's fine. We have a general idea now. If you need any cooperation later, just let us know."
"Now you can use all the resources as you please, you don't even need to ask me!" Zhang Ce said generously.
"Haha, shouldn't we start preparing for the victory celebration banquet?" Qi Minglin laughed.
“It has to be prepared. Order whatever you want to eat. There are no standards this time. You can even eat at a five-star hotel if you want, I said so!” Zhang Ce said generously, waving his hand.
"Five-star is not necessary, but Chen Feng mentioned he wanted to eat a whole roasted beef. Could you arrange that for him?"
"Is it Chen Feng? Did you want to eat it?" Qi Minglin turned around and asked Chen Feng.
“A whole roasted cow…that’s fine too.” Chen Feng seemed hesitant, but in reality, he didn’t hesitate at all.
"Then let's roast a whole cow. I'll find someone to arrange it right away, and then I'll send someone to deliver the two bottles of wine I have at home." Zhang Ce was quick to act, and he started making phone calls as he spoke.
"Brother Feng, can I try this 30-year-old Moutai too?" Li Chunlai couldn't help but ask Chen Feng quietly after Zhang Ce walked a little further away.
"Absolutely, is that even a question?" Chen Feng said.
"Hehe, that's fine then." Li Chunlai looked satisfied upon hearing this.
To be honest, you can't buy this wine even if you have money. Li Chunlai is incredibly lucky to be able to have a cup of it.
This one glass of wine is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
Zhang Ce made the arrangements quickly and returned shortly afterward.
"Chen Feng, we really have to thank you for this. Without you, we wouldn't have discovered this mine."
"At the celebration banquet, I'll definitely have to toast you properly," Zhang Ce said with a hearty laugh.
"You're too kind, sir. Finding the mine is everyone's achievement, and I can't take all the credit for it."
"We'll all celebrate then, we'll all celebrate," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Chen Feng knows when to be humble and knows how to say the right things in public.
"The celebration banquet is scheduled for tomorrow; I've already had it made."
"Qi Minglin, you should make the arrangements then, since we still need to leave someone to guard this place."
"Let's go for one group first, and then I'll arrange the rest at another time, you know that, right?"
Zhang Ce looked at Qi Minglin and said.
“I understand. We can’t leave this place unattended. Even though it’s a celebration banquet, work has to take priority.”
“From now on, this place will be operating 24/7. I will send some more people over later.”
Qi Minglin said seriously.
Playing around is fine, but work must come first and can't be neglected.
"Yes, that's enough for you to know." Zhang Ce said with relief upon seeing Qi Minglin's attitude.
Now that the mining farm has developed to this point, all that's needed is to wait and time.
The subsequent testing to determine the mineral content is what will determine the future of the country.
And so, everyone worked happily and cheerfully. At Zhang Ce's request, they had extra meals for dinner to improve everyone's diet.
Even more supplies are on their way.
Although conditions in mountainous areas are certainly more difficult, food and drink must not be lacking.
That evening, Chen Feng ate dinner and chatted idly with Qi Minglin and the others, looking forward to the whole roasted beef feast the next day.
After finishing his meal, Chen Feng had nothing to do and could go to sleep when it was time.
But Chen Feng, lying in the tent, couldn't sleep very well, to be honest.
Although the tent has been pitched as close to the edge as possible, it certainly can't be pitched too far away.
The mining area is filled with the clanging of various instruments and the shouts of the staff, making it really difficult to sleep.
He turned his head to look at his phone, preparing to sleep whenever he felt sleepy.
A few hours later, when Qi Minglin and the others started to rest, Zhang Richeng ran to a distance where no one was looking, pretending to go to the toilet, but actually using his phone to send messages.
"China has already found rare earth deposits. The exact amount of reserves is unknown and further exploration is needed to find out."
