The quickest way to find funding was to sell gold. The Ming Dynasty had plenty, but you needed to be licensed to do so. If you sold so much gold on your own, you'd be in for a rude awakening from the relevant government departments. That would constitute illegal business operations and acquisitions. Therefore, acquiring a company licensed to handle precious metals was paramount.
How can they create a legitimate facade without being discovered? They can only acquire a company and a small mine. They can then claim the gold was mined from the mine, regardless of whether it still exists. If it doesn't, they can just hire an old janitor. Then, they can sell the gold under the company's name to cash in.
There were two companies waiting to acquire an abandoned mine. One company wanted 3 million yuan, including the mining rights and equipment. The other company with the necessary qualifications wanted 50 million yuan. Adding in the crossing points currently under construction and those in preparation, the company still had 100 million yuan left in its account.
Zhao Xiaofei said to his eldest brother, "It seems like we don't have enough money! Let's take out a loan first and see how much the bank will lend us."
"I asked! 50 million! But it's enough for turnover!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Okay, let's take these first! Sell the cultural relics as soon as possible!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
After the two brothers had discussed it, Zhao Xiaokun's phone rang. He went out to answer it, and Zhao Xiaofei saw Jiang Xiaomei's WeChat reply. He quickly checked it, and she replied: "Meet me in Nanjing! We need to talk!"
Then she sent her location, and Zhao Xiaofei replied: "I'll definitely be there tonight! I'll go buy the plane ticket!"
Zhao Xiaofei immediately called Qin Baobao over and said, "Book a plane ticket to Nanjing right away!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhao!" Qin Baobao agreed and immediately went to book a plane ticket.
Zhao Xiaokun came in after finishing his call and asked, "Why did you ask Qin Baobao to come in?"
"I'm going to see Xiaomei! She hasn't answered my calls, and now she just told me to go to Nanjing to meet her." Zhao Xiaofei was as happy as a child.
Zhao Xiaokun saw it and said, "Go and have a good chat with her! Try to persuade her more!"
Zhao Xiaofei didn't understand the meaning of this and thought it was because they couldn't get in touch. He just smiled and said, "It always gets better after a few days! Okay! I'm going to go buy some things first!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? These are the people we are going to recruit to go to the Ming Dynasty! Do you think they are suitable?" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Did you find the right one so quickly?" Zhao Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"I have a high school classmate who later became a policeman. He also works in the prison system. I told him that I wanted to solve the reemployment problem for released prisoners. He agreed very readily and said he wanted to thank me!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Here, Qin Baobao. I'll take a look at it later on the way! I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now!" Zhao Xiaofei said, and left quickly. He was planning to buy her a wedding diamond ring, hoping it would make her happy. They were definitely getting married next year.
In the afternoon, Qin Baobao bought a plane ticket and handed it to Zhao Xiaofei along with the materials Zhao Xiaokun had left behind. Zhao Xiaofei then went downstairs and prepared to drive to the airport.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaofei arrived a little early. He had to wait at the airport for 2 hours before he could board the plane. After settling into his seat, Zhao Xiaofei began to sleep. When the flight attendant announced takeoff, he looked at the seat next to him. Unexpectedly, he saw Qin Baobao. He immediately sat up and asked, "I didn't remember asking you to go to Nanjing with me?"
"Mr. Zhao! You forgot that I am from Nanjing. And I won't be working tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I want to go home to see my mother!" Qin Baobao said with a smile.
"Oh! I remember that. I also said that I saw fewer people from Nanjing in Beijing! So after you buy the ticket for me, please buy one for yourself as well!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Not one, but two! Hello!" Qin Xiaomi also waved at Zhao Xiaofei and said, looking lively and cute.
"This is my sister! Qin Xiaomi!" Qin Baobao introduced awkwardly.
When Qin Xiaomi heard her sister introduce herself, she quickly said, "Don't laugh when you hear my name!"
Zhao Xiaofei still laughed and said, "It's nothing! If you don't let me laugh, I will want to laugh! Hahaha!" Zhao Xiaofei really wanted to meet their parents. Did they put any thought into naming them?
Qin Xiaomi saw Zhao Xiaofei smile, and she pouted and ignored him angrily. Qin Baobao said, "Mr. Zhao! My sister is young and naive, please forgive me!"
"It's okay! It's okay! It's great! I would be very happy if I had a sister like this!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao went to Nanjing this time to see the company's establishment situation?" Qin Baobao asked.
"This is just a side note. I mainly came to see your CEO Jiang! I heard that you and Jiang Di are dating?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
At this time, Qin Xiaomi finally spoke up. She said, "Jiang Di? Is he worthy of my sister? He has an average appearance and an average height. I don't think he has much else to offer except for his ability to talk!"
Qin Baobao scolded, "Xiaomi! Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Baobao was speechless at her sister's outspokenness. Turning back to Zhao Xiaofei, he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao! Jiang Di and I have never been together. He always pursued me, but I didn't agree!"
"Oh! So that's how it is! Jiang Di is actually a good person, but he needs someone who can control him." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"My sister just wants to control the man she likes." Qin Xiaomi said.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! Shut up!" Qin Baobao said coldly. Qin Xiaomi saw that her sister was angry and finally stopped talking.
"You are from Nanjing. Can you tell me what food there is in Nanjing? I would like to go and try it with your General Jiang!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
