Although Zhao Ying didn't want to doubt what Wang Xiaoyan said, and she didn't want to think about things so complicated, but the facts were in front of her eyes, so she couldn't help but think otherwise.
Looking at the production date marked on the box again, it was only recently produced, Zhao Ying secretly sighed, and carefully put the box back in its original shape.
A little sad, but also a little lost, I don't understand why Wang Xiaoyan deceived herself, even if she told the truth, so what? Yang Ming was already very playful, and he didn't know that, even if she and Yang Ming had something, he wouldn't say much. Moreover, I have no right to say anything more.
but now? Zhao Ying felt like a fool, cheated by her best friend. Zhao Ying really thought that all of this was a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding, but the possibility seemed very small.
Lying quietly in the bathtub, Zhao Ying's mind went blank. She didn't know how to face Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming in the future... Is it the same as before, or is it like a stranger?
Zhao Ying is really in trouble...
Huang Lele was actually tricked into returning home. When her eldest brother called, he just said that her father had something to do with her, but he didn't mention a single word about the marriage. It wasn't until Huang Lele returned home that he found out that the family was in Africa. There is a problem with your investment!
In the second half of last year, the Huang family invested in a huge gold mine in a small African country X, and spent five billion US dollars to purchase the 100-year mining right of the mine.
Of course, most of the money here comes from bank loans. In addition to the purchase funds, the mining equipment has also spent nearly one billion US dollars on the employment of personnel in the early stage. The total investment exceeds 6 billion US dollars.
However, based on the raw ore content of this mine, it will take less than a hundred years, or about twenty years, to recover the cost, and everything after that will be pure profit!
With such huge profits, how could Huang Rongtian, the boss of the Huang family, not be tempted? After discussing with the old man at home, Huang Xiaofei, he squeezed all his wealth into it.
However, both Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei made a fatal mistake, that is, they ignored the political situation in African country X! Panning for gold in this country where the government changes faster than the seasons is simply not something ordinary people can participate in!
No, in just over half a year, the provisional government that signed the contract before collapsed, and the former president also absconded with money. I thought that after the new government came to power, in order to gain the support of the public, it would not make changes to the contracts signed by these businessmen, but in fact, most of the contracts have not changed, only the Huang family's contract, they do not accept it.
Other businessmen have more or less private armed forces in the local area, and no matter which government comes to power, they will not easily offend them.
But the Huang family was different, they were just businessmen of one generation, and they had no one to rely on in Country X, so as soon as the new interim government was established, it tore up the contract between the previous government and the Huang family. He wanted to extract a large amount of military expenses from the Huang family. Of course, if the Huang family could not come up with the money, that would be fine. The younger brother of the newly appointed acting president, General Karls, was an iron mine owner. Let him take care of it directly, and you don't even need to buy equipment.
Due to the collapse of the interim government of this small country and the change of regime, the previous contract signed by the Huang family has become a scrap of paper. If they want to continue to develop, they have to sign an agreement with the new securities leader.
It's just that the other party offered a very outrageous condition, and they also charged five billion US dollars for gold mining rights. Although the contract this time seemed to be very generous, and signed an agreement for 200 years, Huang Rongtian also understood it. Two hundred years and everything is false. Even if an agreement of one thousand and ten thousand years is signed, after the provisional government collapses, the newly established regime will still not recognize it.
For this kind of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the Huang family would never allow the behavior of picking peaches from their own hands. The Huang family is considered a well-known family in Singapore, with a high social status, how could they stand such bullying?
Huang Rongtian immediately went to General Kars to make a theory, but when the muzzle of the black hole hit Huang Rongjin's head, Huang Rongtian suddenly woke up.
In this small African country that has no diplomacy and has not joined the United Nations, there is no law at all. It can be said that the supreme leader here is the law.
Under the sneer of General Kars, Huang Rongtian went back cautiously, not daring to mention any meaning.
However, not daring to speak more does not mean that the Huang family will do nothing! Because Huang Rongtian is not reconciled, not reconciled to his money being wasted like this, but asking him to spend another five billion US dollars is simply a fantasy!
Most of the previous five billion was mortgaged by the current industry and borrowed from the bank. Now that there is a problem with the mines in Africa, it is good that the bank is not in a hurry to press for the loan, let alone Get a loan from the bank.
Just when Huang Rongtian was in despair, he suddenly got a very important piece of news! The Li family also wants to invest in the mining industry in Africa! The Li family is also a big family. Its financial strength is comparable to that of the Huang family. It's just that the businesses of the two companies are different, and there are few opportunities for cooperation. Now that the Li family is also planning to invest in the mining industry, Huang Rongtian came immediately. Interested, I found Li Tianjia, the current helm of the Li family. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the Li family used to have business dealings with General Kars, and this is the most important point!
Li Tianjia was about the same age as Huang Rongtian, and was the eldest son of Li Zhicheng, the old man of the Li family. Regarding Huang Rongtian's intentions, Li Tianjia was very indifferent. He didn't say he agreed or disagreed, he just said he was considering it.
Seeing Li Tianjia's lukewarm attitude, Huang Rongtian knew that this matter was a bit of an issue. After all, there was nothing of great benefit, so why should he get involved with you?
In order to tie Li Tianjia to the same chariot, Huang Rongtian proposed marriage. At the beginning, Li Tianjia was not very interested, but when he saw the photo in Huang Rongtian's mobile phone, his eyes straightened immediately, and Huang Rongtian called He said several times before Li Tianjia came back to his senses in embarrassment.
However, Huang Rongtian didn't take it seriously at all, instead he was secretly pleased. It seemed that Li Tianjia had taken a fancy to Lele, so there was a reason for this matter.
Sure enough, Li Tianjia pretended to evade a few words and said: "Oh my god, I have no objection to the marriage. Both of us are well-known families, and we are well-matched. However, this is a big marriage, and we have to discuss it with our parents. ? I agree in principle, but I have to discuss it with my father!"
"That's no problem!" Huang Rongtian said happily after hearing this.
After Huang Rongtian left, Li Tianjia told his father Li Zhicheng about Huang Rongjin's intentions. Of course, he didn't even hide the marriage that Huang Rongtian said. Li Zhicheng did not immediately express his opinion after hearing what Li Tianjia said. He is different from Huang Rongjin's father. Huang Rongjin's father, Huang Xiaofei, has already handed over most of the power to Huang Rongjin, but Li Zhicheng has not. He still controls all major events decision-making power.
"Father, I think this matter is very beneficial to us!" Seeing that his father did not express his opinion, Li Tianjia couldn't help but said.
"Have you taken a fancy to that girl from the Huang family?" Knowing a son is like a father, Li Zhicheng could see through his son's mind at a glance.
"I..." Li Tianjia blushed, as his father said, he really fell in love with Huang Lele.
"Marriage is a major event, and investment in Africa is even more important!" Li Zhicheng said slowly: "Although we have cooperated with General Kars, our personal relationship is not very close. It's not what it used to be, my face may not be useful! It's impossible to give up the source of income that I found so easily because of a word from me, right?"
Li Tianjia nodded silently, yes, what my father said is indeed the truth, after all, this is not a trivial matter.
"If we participate in this matter, there will definitely be benefits, but the key is whether it is cost-effective or not!" Li Zhicheng sighed and said: "If it is just cooperation, I might agree to it, but this marriage...you should Clearly, once we get married, then our Li family will sit on the same chariot as the Huang family, advancing and retreating together... At that time, even if we want to escape, we will not be able to escape!"
"I understand..." Li Tianjia said, "Father, I won't think about it anymore."
"Hehe, I didn't say that this matter is completely unacceptable!" Seeing his son's appearance, Li Zhicheng said with some amusement: "Well, let me think about it and see if it's worth it, and then I'll find him Talk to General Kars some time to see if you can buy me some face!"
When General Kars was fighting the world, he received financial support from Li Zhicheng. Although his current status is not the same as before, General Kars is a nostalgic person. After listening to the call, it was Li Zhicheng, so he warmly talked to him We exchanged pleasantries.
However, when Li Zhicheng asked about the gold mine invested by the Huang family, he felt a little embarrassed. It stands to reason that he should give Li Zhicheng face, but if he did, the money would be gone, so he hesitated and said: "Li Sir, you also know that when I first came to power, I have to spend money everywhere...if..."
"I understand what you mean, but I will also participate in the joint venture of this gold mine, so I hope that the rent can be reduced..." Li Zhicheng said.
"Let me think about it, and then we'll get in touch." After all, General Kars still couldn't completely disrespect Li Zhicheng, so he agreed to think about it.
