"Stop being careless with me, you're so glib!"
Lu Qingliu said in a bad tone: "If it is only used for mining, I can think of a way for you, but if you want to use it for other purposes,"
"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible..."
"Do you really have a way?" Tang Songyuan asked in surprise.
Lu Qingliu responded seriously: "After all, when I was in Papua New Guinea, you helped me retrieve the Nine Dragons Sword. I still owe you a favor,"
"If you really want to mine gold, I can use some connections for you."
"But I clearly know your relationship with Yang Zhicheng's group, so I'm worried that you will use the diesel for other purposes after getting it."
"If this thing is not good, it will cause international disputes... I cannot bear this responsibility."
Tang Songyuan smiled and said: "Okay, it's really just mining gold."
"Those two places in the Hongxing District, the Hongxing Gold Mine and the Dafu Gold Mine, are now handed over to me by Yang Zhicheng,"
"Now I have purchased a lot of large-scale machinery, but he can't provide me with oil. What can I do? I can only ask you for help..."
Lu Qingliu sneered and said: "Anyway, I still say the same thing. If you really only use it for gold mining, I can arrange for people to send it to the mine for you on a regular basis."
"But if I know that you have other uses, you will not be able to get another drop of diesel from me, and I will no longer owe you any favors..."
"Okay, okay!"
Tang Songyuan hurriedly agreed: "I promise you that it will never be used for other purposes, as long as it can be used in the mine."
Lu Qingliu's tone softened a little and he said, "Just wait, someone will contact you within two days at most."
Tang Songyuan wanted to say something more, but Lu Qingliu had already hung up the phone.
Having known each other for such a long time, Tang, Song and Yuan still didn't know what Lu Qingliu's specific background was. Anyway, it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
...
Sure enough, just two days later, a man really found Hex Jade Industry and wanted to see Tang Songyuan by name.
The person who came was a man in his thirties, with a Chinese character face, strictly dressed, and holding a black briefcase in his hand. He looked a bit old-fashioned.
"Hello, I'm Tang Songyuan, what can I do?"
Tang Songyuan came out of the office and asked politely.
The visitor said: "I am from the Precious Metals Management Department of the National Energy Administration, and my name is Lu Qiming."
"Is it convenient to talk here?"
Precious Metals Management Division? Never heard of it, but the other party said his surname was Lu!
Tang Songyuan immediately realized that the call to Lu Qingliu had an effect, and said quickly:
"My office is over here, Mr. Lu, please!"
His office is shared with Ni Sisi, and Ni Sisi happens to be away at the moment.
After entering, Tang Songyuan closed the door and asked, "Mr. Lu, would you like tea or coffee?"
Lu Qiming waved his hand and said: "No need, I just want to ask you a question, what is your relationship with Lu Qingliu?"
Ah this...
Tang Songyuan was stunned for a moment, his mind racing as he weighed the appropriate answer.
Ten seconds later, he spoke: "He is a very close friend, um... the kind who has had a life-long friendship."
Going through life and death together can also be said to be a life-long friendship.
Lu Qiming nodded, without making too many comments, he pulled up a chair and sat down.
Then he said: "You can sit down too. I just told you that I am from the Precious Metals Management Department of the National Energy Administration."
"To put it simply, all the large, medium and small gold mines in the country are actually under the management of our unit."
"You have contracted two gold mines in Kokang. If you sign an agreement with our Precious Metals Management Department, the machinery and oil you purchased can be exported reasonably,"
"But the premise is that all the gold produced in the mine must be handed over to our company, and we will purchase it according to the international gold price on that day..."
As a precious metal, gold not only plays the role of anchoring currency, but also has a wide range of uses in industry.
Therefore, in the past century, countries around the world have valued gold and regarded gold as an important national reserve.
What Lu Qiming just said not only solved the problem of exporting machinery and oil from Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, but also solved the problem of sales.
You know, the gold produced by gold mines is not just three to five kilograms. Once two gold mines start large-scale mining, it will be dozens of kilograms or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
Not any unit can collect this much gold.
The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties couldn't carry gold and sell it from gold shop to gold shop.
"That's great..." Tang Songyuan blurted out: "Leader Lu really provides help in times of need."
Lu Qiming said without changing his expression: "It's just official business."
"Gold reserves are an important part of the country's reserve assets, and its reserve volume is related to the creditworthiness of the country's foreign economic and trade."
"Especially since last year, the international economic situation has continued to be turbulent, and our unit is also working hard to increase gold acquisitions..."
Speaking of this, Tang Songyuan's heart moved again.
He asked tentatively: "Um... Leader Lu, do I have another question?"
Lu Qiming: "Say it!"
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and said: "I opened an ocean salvage company in both Shanghai and Marseille, France."
"Aiming to salvage various sunken treasures or lost treasures from the ocean."
"For example, last month, I led a fleet to fish out tens of thousands of Spanish gold coins in the Atlantic Ocean,"
"If I catch some gold bricks, gold bars, etc., can I sell them to you?"
As an ancient coin, Hailao gold coins have certain antique value and cultural value.
But gold bars and bricks were not of such value, so Tang Songyuan felt it necessary to find a buyer in advance.
An imperceptible smile flashed across Lu Qiming's lips, but he quickly restrained it.
He said: "As long as it is gold, our unit can purchase it, and we can buy as much as we want,"
"I can make the decision if it's less than a thousand tons. If it's more than a thousand tons, I'll report it to you, but the quality and purity of the gold must be verified..."
According to the current international gold price, one ton of gold is worth about 468 million yuan. One thousand tons is worth 468 billion yuan.
How many sunken ships did it take to fish out so much gold in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties?
This tone is really unusual, but behind Lu Qiming is the country, this should be the confidence for him to speak.
Tang Songyuan smiled and said: "I hope that one day I can trade a thousand tons of gold with Leader Lu at once."
Lu Qiming snorted softly and said: "Don't call me Leader Lu from now on. Just call me Brother Lu in informal situations..."
