Chapter 140 Discovering a Great Treasure: Abundant Mineral Resources



Not long after, a black SUV stopped at the corner. Su Ran looked out the window at the vehicle; this SUV was no ordinary off-road vehicle.

The entire body is fitted with 11.1cm thick bulletproof steel plates, and the surface paint is coated with nano materials that are completely heat-insulating and waterproof. This SUV has a maximum horsepower of up to 240km/h, which is in no way inferior to any supercar.

Su Ran was wearing a Chanel-style short dress, but the more she looked at it, the more inconvenient it seemed for meeting the old gentleman. She glanced at the cars outside.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at a quaint clothing store next to her. She stepped inside, and a minute or two later, she appeared in a silver-white cheongsam, her hair styled with a hairpin, without a trace of rouge, yet still stunningly beautiful.

Just as he stepped out the door, he came face to face with Fu Rongzhi, who was dressed in military green camouflage. A moment of amazement flashed in Fu Rongzhi's eyes, but he immediately concealed it.

[Ding! Detected a potential spender! Appearance rating: 97 points, meets spending requirements. Host, please make a donation as soon as possible to receive a rebate!]

Su Ran ignored the system's announcements, as she was quite nervous about meeting that gentleman soon.

She felt a sense of seriousness about meeting the old gentleman, and her deliberate change of clothes expressed her seriousness and earnestness about the meeting, since she had only ever seen him on television since she was a child.

Thinking about meeting the old gentleman soon, she started to get nervous, feeling her face and limbs stiffen. Fu Rongzhi noticed Su Ran's condition, pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Miss Su, please get in the car first, so as not to keep the old gentleman waiting."

Su Ran swallowed hard and nodded stiffly. After all, meeting the old gentleman was the number one dream of people all over the country!

After getting into the car, she was preoccupied with how to speak and what kind of expression to make when facing the old man.

Su Ran was extremely nervous, wondering if her outfit would displease her elders, or if her words and actions would be inappropriate.

She kept encouraging herself in her mind, saying she wasn't even this nervous during the college entrance exam. Su Ran kept giving herself psychological support.

"We've arrived, Miss Su."

Su Ran composed herself and got out of the car.

After passing through multiple security checks, Fu Rongzhi entered the office, where a mahogany desk immediately caught his eye, behind which hung a magnificent landscape painting.

The atmosphere was very solemn and dignified. In the office chair, an elderly man with white hair was working on documents with his head down. His temperament was calm and reserved. Even though he was sitting there quietly, he exuded a calm and steady aura.

The elderly man in the chair looked up, his kind face revealing a subtle air of dignity and seriousness. "You've arrived?"

The old man's voice was calm and reserved, yet dignified. Su Ran lowered her body slightly and said, "Hello, sir."

Su Ran bowed respectfully to the old man, for he was such a kind person who wholeheartedly cared for the Chinese people!

The old man nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and pointed to the chair next to him. "Little girl, sit down and let's chat."

Su Ran sat down, but she was still a little nervous. After all, it felt so unreal to suddenly see someone she had only ever seen on TV in front of her.

Fu Rongzhi was standing behind the old man and noticed Su Ran's nervousness. The old man also noticed and joked with a smile, "Little girl, I don't eat people, there's no need to be so nervous. Just think of it as an elder having a chat with you."

Su Ran pursed her lips, feeling even more nervous now.

After mentally preparing herself, she gradually calmed down.

The old man chuckled and said, "Little girl, you did quite a feat at the cherry blossom festival!"

The old man's words were full of appreciation. Su Ran had been prepared to be questioned, but it turned out to be just a normal chat.

The old man then added, "The little girl's donation of the N-day Massacre color photo album was also invaluable; these albums recorded evidence of the crimes committed by the 'little people'."

Su Ran pursed her lips and said nervously, "These are all things I should do. China has protected me for so many years, and I should repay them in kind. The cherry blossom incident was a private matter and will not affect the country."

“Little girl, that’s not right. Everything you’ve done is beneficial to China and harmless. It’s a great achievement, and China will always protect its people.”

Hearing the old man's words, Su Ran was shocked. Did she suddenly have a powerful protective umbrella?

She swallowed hard; the umbrella had come rather suddenly.

Just as Su Ran was about to speak, she heard the system's voice.

[I have something amazing! It's a real treasure! Host, would you like to hear about it?]

"You say it," she replied in her mind.

[The Babayang mountain range you previously won at the auction is located 40 kilometers off the coast of Kalayci. Our system has detected abundant oil and natural gas resources there!]

[Estimated reserves: approximately 1.5 billion tons of oil and 90 billion cubic meters of natural gas! This is the largest oil field ever discovered in Asia. Host, you're rich now!]

Su Ran couldn't believe it at that moment. Although she was rich, she was still surprised by such a large sum of money.

What does 1.5 billion tons of oil mean?

Crude oil prices are between $50 and $51 per barrel. One ton of oil is approximately 7 barrels, and one ton of oil is between $350 and $357. With an exchange rate of 1 US dollar = 6.19 RMB, one ton of oil is approximately 2166.5 to 2209.83 RMB.

So 1.5 billion tons of oil would be worth 3.3 trillion.

How much is 90 billion cubic meters of natural gas?

The price of natural gas ranges from 1.5 to 5 yuan per cubic meter. If we calculate based on 2 yuan per cubic meter of natural gas, then 90 billion cubic meters would be 180 billion yuan.

In addition, the mine itself was worth tens of billions, so she not only earned back all her principal, but also multiplied it many times over.

[It is estimated that if the host had not purchased the mountain range, its mineral deposits would not have been discovered for approximately 50 years, possibly longer, thus not triggering any causal link.]

Su Ran's eyes lit up slightly. If she did that, she could become an oil tycoon in no time. But she felt that if she tried to devour this entire mineral deposit in one go, she would burst from the bloating.

Su Ran looked up at the old man's kind eyes and smiled, but the old man felt as if he had been tricked.

The old man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I wonder if there's anything I can help you with, Su girl?"

"Yes, I have a tricky problem that really needs the country's support."

Su Ran smiled at the old man, after all, who could compare to China when it came to finding a powerful backer?

Moreover, she had no hesitation in contributing to the motherland. The old man had only meant it casually, but he didn't expect the young girl to actually have something to say. He just smiled and replied, "Go ahead, young girl."

Su Ran looked at the old man, sat up straight, and said in a serious and earnest tone, "Sir, I have discovered a very rich deposit of oil and natural gas."
