He begged: "President Ruan, if you have any orders, just say them directly. There is no need to do this."
"I dare not give orders." Ruan Xiang said: "I just want to ask Mr. Shang to take me with him to make some money."
Shang Rong was not stupid. He understood immediately and said, "Do you want Benyuan Mine?"
"Yes." Ruan Xiang nodded and stretched out a finger: "One million US dollars, as long as Mr. Shang cooperates. After the matter is completed, you give me an account and I will transfer one million US dollars to your account."
At this point, Shang Rong knew he couldn't resist. He hesitated slightly and said, "How do you want me to cooperate with you? Do you want me to simply go back and report and sell it to you? I'm afraid my superiors won't agree."
"Of course it won't be that simple." Ruan Xiang smiled like an old fox who had successfully stolen a chicken: "After Mr. Shang goes back, he can make a report and say that this side requires the construction of a dock to expand the river channel and connect directly to the Mekong River. In this way By taking the water route instead of the road, you can also save on freight.”
"Build a dock." Shang Rong frowned: "How much does it cost?"
"One billion." Ruan Xiang raised his fingers.
"That's impossible." Shang Rong shook his head: "The superiors won't approve it."
"What I want is that he doesn't approve." Ruan Xiang chuckled: "This is a method of advancing to retreat."
Seeing Shang Rong looking at him, he said: "In your report to your superiors, you can write clearly that investing one billion to build a dock will make it convenient for the Benyuan Mine and more convenient for the locals. Therefore, this is the request of the locals and also The prerequisite for reopening the Benyuan Mine is that if a wharf is not built, the local people will block it and will not allow the Benyuan Mine to be reopened."
"This..." Shang Rong hesitated.
"Your superiors will think, even if one billion is invested and a dock is built, can the Benyuan Mine really be reopened?"
"Yes." Shang Rong nodded: "I will definitely think so."
"You're right to think so." Ruan Xiang smiled with a cunning look on his face: "We want them to think so. If they think like this, even if they invest another billion, they may not be able to reopen. But here, a There is no profit, we have to be guarded, and the security fees are rising every year. In two years, all the machines will be useless, so what will they think?"
He clapped his hands as he spoke: "If it were me, I might as well just sell it and be done with it."
Shang Rong also completely understood what Ruan Xiang meant and said, "President Ruan is very calculating."
Ruan Xiang said with a smile: "Mr. Shang is a smart man. It is the country's money anyway, right? It has nothing to do with you personally. If you exchange the country's RMB for your private dollars, you won't lose at all, right?"
Shang Rong thought for a while and said: "I am only responsible for making reports. I don't care whether they are successful or not."
"Of course." Ruan Xiang nodded.
"Then..." Shang Rong hesitated and said nothing.
"Shang always worries about burning bridges when crossing the river, right?" Ruan Xiang guessed what he was thinking and said: "Okay, Mr. Shang will give me an account, preferably overseas, and I'll transfer $500,000 first. After everything is done, What do you think of another five hundred thousand?"
"No." Shang Rong said, "You give me one million first, and then I will give you one million more after everything is done."
"Mr. Shang."
"Listen to me." Shang Rong interrupted Ruan Xiang: "I can't guarantee anything else, but the superiors have decided to sell it. How to sell it? It must be mainly financial investment. I am responsible for the financial investment. The more money you have, the less money you have." , who you want to sell to or who you don’t sell to, but you still have some choice, isn’t it worth the price?”
"Mr. Shang." Ruan Xiang looked at Shang Rong and said nothing.
Shang Rong also looked at him with a cold look: "President Ruan, you really think you can threaten me with such a video. You can tell at a glance from this video that my expression is not normal. You want to kill me?" When I got desperate, I reported it. I had a good relationship with the locals and wanted to drink. It was a normal job. But you drugged me and threatened me with a video. Do you think the superiors would blame me? Do you really think the CCP is vegetarian? "
Ruan Xiang looked at him coldly, and he looked at Shang Rong coldly.
Zhu Zhiyuan outside the window was a little surprised. He had always looked down on Shang Rong. At this moment, he admired him more: "This guy is also a wolf."
A smile suddenly bloomed on Ruan Xiang's face: "Mr. Shang is a good person, it's a deal."
He laughed, and Shang Rong also laughed.
Zhu Zhiyuan also sneered: "It seems that this was how it was done in the previous life, a nest of snakes and rats, working together in commotion, haha."
But after laughing for a while, he sighed again. There were many people like this, not just Shang Rong, Ruan Xiang, Nan Xing and Wu Xiangqiang.
Over the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large part of the huge assets accumulated through reform have been swallowed up by tigers, wolves, snakes and rats, large and small.
Fortunately, China survived and was not poached by these people. Before Zhu Zhiyuan was reborn, he and the United States even formed a G2.
God bless China!
Zhu Zhiyuan was too lazy to look anymore. He took out his mobile phone and took a few photos. The mobile phone could not take videos at the moment, but the photos were enough, and he went back to the house.
Go to bed, lie down, calm your mind and breath, silently recite the incantation of Mother Earth, and soon fall asleep.
The next day, Ruan Xiang was as enthusiastic as yesterday, Shang Rong was just like a normal person, and the trip south was the same as before.
At first glance, Zhu Zhiyuan felt that Nanxing looked like a polite scum, but now he confirmed that this guy with neatly thinned hair, clean clothes, and small eyes that were always calm behind his lenses, was a polite scum.
Ruan Xiang suggested that the Snake River could be dredged and a dock built. In this way, the copper ingots produced would not have to travel by road, but by water, entering the Mekong River and entering China.
Shang Rong expressed great interest.
He was also in high spirits heading south.
Zhu Zhiyuan sneered in his heart without showing it on his face, and followed him to take a look.
Snake water originates from the mountains and flows outside Wangshe Town. The water is extremely abundant, which is why a hydropower station can be built here.
However, the river is too narrow, twists and turns, and there are many rocks in the middle. Only small boats can pass there, and larger boats dare not go there.
"As long as the river is dredged and a few major reefs are blown up, large ships of three to five hundred tons can be transported, and the copper ingots produced by the smelting plant can be directly connected to the Mekong River by water."
Ruan Xiang made the introduction excitedly.
Shang Rong pretended to be hesitant: "This investment is not low."
"It won't be too high." Ruan Xiang said: "Besides, we have to think in the long term. Our mine is a rich mine. It will take 20 to 30 years to dig it. After decades of freight, we will definitely make it back. Besides, it won't be too high." It’s convenient for locals and can boost the economy.”
After saying that, Ruan Xiang said seriously: "As long as you invest a little more money to build the dock, I, Ruan Xiang, can guarantee that the locals will never cause trouble again."
"That's it." Shang Rong thought for a while and asked Zhu Zhiyuan: "Deputy Director Zhu, what do you think?"
Ruan Xiang also looked at Zhu Zhiyuan with a smile, his small eyes behind the Nanxing lenses flickering without much expression.
