And that gold mine, it belonged to my maternal grandfather?
Simple shock: does that mean she's also from a wealthy family?
"right,"
Cheng Chao's situation is also very complicated; who could have imagined all these ups and downs?
"More than ten years ago, they obtained this treasure map by chance and quickly found this place. At that time, the war was not over yet and it was quite chaotic. They took advantage of the chaos to transport instruments, weapons and personnel here."
Not long after, there was a big battle on the border. The animals were probably scared and went back to the mountains. They took advantage of that time to transport their goods into the mountains.
They lay low like this, and then, keeping a low profile, they gradually captured many more people to do hard labor. Over the course of more than ten years, they grew to their current size.
Only after interrogation did they learn that the gold mine, which the two men had been hiding, had actually been discovered long ago, and the news had already spread. They were just waiting for the right opportunity to secretly develop it.
"On the other side of the border, I had people investigate, and it's true that someone is secretly gathering men. Furthermore, recently, martial law has been imposed at the foot of the mountains there, prohibiting civilians from approaching."
He listened blankly for a long time before finally uttering a phrase about national essence, then slammed his hand on the stool in front of him.
Holy crap!
Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass.
Are they trying to sneakily take the things?
"Damn it, robbers!"
Cheng Chao quickly rescued the blueprint, then watched as the small stool was smashed to pieces with a simple slap, wood chips scattering everywhere.
"No, although I feel good listening to you scold me, girl, have you forgotten that, theoretically speaking, most of that gold mine is over there?"
If we're talking about robbers, they seem to be the ones who fit the name more.
Simple sat down angrily, then suddenly remembered when she saw the blueprints that they were her property.
"I don't care, it's mine now, and I can't give it to them."
"Huh? That's not right,"
She slapped her forehead in frustration. What a fool she was! The gold mine had already settled in her own space, so why was she getting so excited?
Thinking about it, I waved my hand generously.
"Let them do their thing. They'd be lucky if they could even dig up a single grain of gold."
Seeing her like this, Cheng Chaogang's heart, which had been in his throat, finally began to slowly calm down. Last time, she had confidently declared that no one could take her away, but now she herself was so indignant, which made his little heart pound uncontrollably.
After realizing they had scared themselves, the two were finally able to talk properly.
What were your plans for this gold mine beforehand?
Although it was a pleasant surprise that this property had changed from public to legal private ownership, my net worth skyrocketed.
However, she also knew that if Cheng Chao and his team could thoroughly understand the blueprints, others might be able to as well. Those people had held onto them for so many years without moving, simply because they hadn't found the exact location.
Moreover, news of this treasure map can't be kept secret. Not to mention that the local leadership has probably already received the news, it has also spread outside. Even if she hides it in her space, things won't calm down in the open, and the troubles will only increase.
Although she also loves money, and she would prefer to keep her legal wealth to herself, it is clear that now is not a good time.
"Brother, what kind of autonomy did you guys talk about before? What are the regulations?"
Cheng Chao opened his mouth, "You really dare to say that."
"Now is not the time for clear-cut autonomy. Our infrastructure is weak, people are living in poverty, grain production is low, and supplies are scarce. These are all problems, and none of them can be solved overnight."
"Isn't this an industrial city? I remember my teacher saying when I was in school that the Northeast is a relatively developed industrial region."
Cheng Chao smiled bitterly.
"Compared to southern cities, this area is sparsely populated and has a vast territory, making it a good place to grow grain."
At the same time, as you know, this area is rich in coal mines.
Moreover, oil was discovered more than 130 kilometers north of the county's coalfield. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has always relied on foreign oil imports, and the humiliation we suffered because of this goes without saying.
Therefore, regardless of autonomy or the current unrest outside, the construction of the oil field is imperative.
ah!
After a quick thought, I realized that at this moment, the Daqing Oilfield...
Indeed, this is a great feat, a historic event, and a good thing that benefits the country and its people. It deserves our support.
But how was it originally built?
Did she steal someone else's job? Won't she incur resentment?
Scratching her head, she decided to ignore it. Once the infrastructure was in place and someone was there to protect her, she could finally retire peacefully.
Besides, given the current situation, news of the gold mine will inevitably spread far and wide sooner or later. Just imagining the scene then sent a chill down her spine. She reached out and pushed the blueprints back.
"Take this thing back. As for the gold mine, proceed according to your plan."
"......"
Cheng Chao couldn't quite explain how he felt. This answer wasn't unexpected; he had known it all along.
"Have you thought this through? That's not just grain or a few dozen wild boars; it's a mine. Even if you refine it, the value is immeasurable."
"Let me tell you, if you really say that, it'll be too late to regret it later."
"Why!"
She simply sighed, and didn't hide anything from him.
"I only need to feed myself, so how much money do I need?"
Besides, I don't believe you didn't think of this. Can you guarantee the absolute safety of this image? You can't, right?
Moreover, the news had already spread beforehand, so it was only a matter of time before the incident occurred. If they put their minds to it, they would eventually find out about me. What if there was another assassination attempt? Would I still have a good life then?
