Near noon, Da Jinli walked out of the governor's office with a smile on his face.
Although Duan Guoheng is not a particularly high-ranking person and is a bit greedy, he is Zhou Shumo's confidant. Spending some money to obtain the mining rights of Duobao Mountain is well worth the money!
Just like what the boss once said, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!
Dajinli found Li Jie as soon as he got home and reported the morning's situation to him.
"Boss, Duan Guoheng said there is a high probability that this thing will happen. However, he made a request. He wants 20% of the shares in the newly established mining company."
Li Jie was not surprised when he heard the news. After Zhou Shumo took office, he advocated the establishment of industries and the development of profit sources. The future coal mines such as Ganhe and Longping Chahan Aola were planned by Zhou Shumo during his tenure.
Instead, it was something else that caught his attention.
The head of a small branch actually dares to ask for 20% of the shares?
What a loud tone!
Although this time it is a small and medium-sized mining company, including equipment, manpower and other investments, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of oceans.
This guy will get 20% for putting his mouth up and down, which is equivalent to getting a hundred thousand yuan for nothing, and he is not afraid of having his teeth knocked out.
Li Jie glanced at Dajinli. Based on his understanding of Dajinli, Dajinli would definitely not agree to something like this on the spot.
"Tell him, it's only 10% at most!"
Da Jinli nodded and said bitterly: "This guy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Boss, do we want it?"
As he spoke, Da Jinli made a motion of cutting his throat.
Li Jie waved his hand and said casually: "Don't make matters worse. What you give him now will make him spit it out sooner or later in the future!"
Li Jie would not be polite at all to people who couldn't handle things clearly. In three years' time, the uprising that would overthrow the Qing Dynasty's rule would be coming. By then, all the things taken from him would be taken away from him. Come back with interest!
"clear."
Seeing that the boss said this, Da Jinli temporarily gave up his thoughts on killing Duan Guoheng.
Although the income has dropped by half, based on his understanding of Duan Guoheng, 10% of the shares are enough to buy him out.
"By the way, boss, it will take a few days before there is news about this matter. How about we go to Laojingou tomorrow?"
Li Jie thought for a while after hearing this. It seemed that he hadn't been to Lao Jingou for a long time. Lao Jingou would be moved soon. It seemed like a good idea to go there to investigate.
"Okay, let's set off after you finish things here."
The next day, Da Jinli went to the governor's office again. When he told Duan Guoheng that he could only take out 10% of the stock, Duan Guoheng's face showed obvious displeasure.
However, this time, Dajinli did not retreat at all, insisting that it could only give out 10%.
The two faced off for a while, and finally Duan Guoheng took the initiative to take a step back.
In his opinion, 10% is indeed a bit less, but if the mine cannot be won, he will not get a penny.
A thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand!
He values what he can gain more than what he loses inexplicably.
After taking care of Duan Guoheng, all that was left was to wait for news. Li Jie and Da Jinli simply packed up and went straight to Lao Jingou.
Over the past few years, Laojingou has undergone great changes. Today, there are nearly 4,000 miners working in Laojingou alone. If you add in the soldiers and horses stationed there and the pharmaceutical factory, the number of people living here exceeds 10,000.
After three days of inspection in Laojingou and seeing that various industries were developing well, Li Jie took Dajinli on the way back.

…
Morita Bussan Headquarters.
A tall, bald man with a sinewy face was standing respectfully in front of Daisuke Morita, conducting daily reports.
"President, there is news from Heilongjiang that a Chinese businessman has discovered a copper mine in the Morgan area."
Daisuke Morita's expression changed and he asked: "Copper mine? Is it large-scale? Has the specific situation been reported?"
The bald man looked down at the document in his hand and replied: "It is indeed a copper mine. According to the information sent back from the front, the reserves of this copper mine are not large. It is just a small mine."
"A small mine."
Hearing this, Daisuke Morita felt a little pity. Although there are many copper mines in the country, no one would be dissatisfied with the lack of mineral resources. After all, mineral resources are non-renewable. One day of domestic mineral mining, the reserves will be reduced by one point.
If you can choose, of course it is better to poach other people's homes.
Furthermore, making guns and cannons is inseparable from copper.
Daisuke Morita has not forgotten that even if Tsarist Russia is defeated, it is still eyeing the three eastern provinces. He has no doubt that once Maozi handles domestic affairs, it will inevitably set off a new round of confrontation, or even war!
Although Daisuke Morita doesn't want to admit it in his heart, the fact is that the national power of Tsarist Russia is stronger than that of Sakura Country!
If the two sides continue to fight, it is still unclear who will win.
Therefore, as a 'patriotic' businessman, Daisuke Morita naturally wants to make the domestic military stronger and stronger.
Unfortunately, this copper mine is just a small mine and not worthy of much attention.
Thinking of this, Daisuke Morita temporarily put aside the copper mine matter and asked about another more important matter.
"Ishikawa, how is the investigation at Lao Jingou? Have you found out the mastermind behind it?"
Daisuke Morita was very concerned about the rich gold mine in Laojingou. In order to find out the situation in the mine, Morita Co., Ltd. sent personnel to investigate more than once.
But every time the investigation was carried out, either the person disappeared or the investigation was unsuccessful.
After several failures, Morita Daisuke gradually lost his patience. In order to investigate the truth, he used his domestic connections and invited professionals from the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department.
Manchuria Railway, the whole South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. After the Russo-Japanese War, Manchuria was occupied by the Japanese. The Changchun to Lushun section of the China Eastern Railway originally built by Maozi was transferred to the Japanese and renamed the South Manchuria Railway.
In order to manage the railway, Japan established the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd.
Manchuria Railway seems to be just a company that manages railways, but in fact it is responsible for many secret affairs, including but not limited to investigating social customs, agriculture, commerce, industry, transportation, historical geography, etc. throughout Northeast China.
All of this is to serve Manchuria's invasion plan.
From its establishment in 1907 to the end of the war, Manchuria Railway conducted espionage activities for more than thirty years. During this period, it issued more than 10,000 investigation reports. If these materials are added up, the number of pages is as high as millions.
However, even if the elite of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department were dispatched, the investigation operation still failed.
The successive failures in investigating Lao Jingou not only shocked Daisuke Morita, but also the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department.
