Returning to another temporary house not far away, Lei Yunteng grabbed an unopened bottle of Baisuishan mineral water on the table, unscrewed the cap, and drank half of the bottle in one breath.
He threw it to the ground suddenly, making a muffled sound.
"Mad, you greedy ghost!"
Lei Yunteng cursed bitterly.
He came to Australia several months ago.
What happened last time, coupled with the continuous downturn in real estate in the entertainment industry in the past two years, made him very unfavorable about the domestic economy, so he followed the example of many wealthy people and transferred their money to invest abroad. He chose Australia.
He was very lucky. It didn't take him long to investigate and he met Australian mining tycoon Leif Palmer who planned to rebuild the Titanic but lacked financial support. He only spent 2.5 billion Australian dollars to buy it from Leif Palmer. Obtained part of the mining rights and mine leasing rights of the Steel Cow Valley project worth tens of billions of Australian dollars.
Unexpectedly, just after making some achievements, Leif Palmer suddenly turned his back and unilaterally terminated the mining rights and mine leasing agreement. He also demanded that he immediately pay the mining royalties, which was 500 million Australian dollars a year.
Lei Yunteng, who originally regretted not being able to make much money due to the soaring mining costs and doubled expenses, was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Today, negotiating with representatives from Leif Palmer's faction made him see the rogue face of Leif Palmer, a man who dominates both business and political circles in Australia.
But there is nothing to do. It is not a state-owned enterprise, and without the support of the state, it cannot consume Leif Palmer in terms of funds or other aspects.
"If it doesn't work, if we lose hundreds of millions, transfer the project to CITIC Pacific!"
Lei Yunteng gritted his teeth and said.
CITIC Pacific, a powerful state-owned enterprise, was also interested in the Gangniu Valley project. It had negotiated with him before and the price offered was not high, but he did not agree.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
"Um"
Lei Yunteng stood up suddenly, walked quickly outside the door, picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and took a look, showing an expression of disbelief.
How could Taoist Cao from Taihu appear outside of Gangniu Valley?
The Taihu Lake in Suzhou and the iron mines in Western Australia are completely unrelated places.
Lei Yunteng rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he looked again, it was indeed Taoist Master Cao.
On a bare hillside, Cao Yizheng was looking at the Gangniu Valley when he suddenly found someone peeping at him and used his consciousness to take a look.
It turned out to be Lei Yunteng, Mr. Lei, a billionaire who once had his wealth taken away from him.
"Taoist priest, Taoist priest..."
Lei Yunteng shouted.
Worried that Cao Yi wouldn't hear, he shouted and waved his arms.
Cao Yi had business to do, so he pretended not to hear.
Unexpectedly, Lei Yunteng found an off-road vehicle and came over to kill him.
Seeing Lei Yunteng's enthusiasm, and because he misunderstood Lei Yunteng's meaning last time, thinking that Lei Yunteng really didn't want to live a rich life, which made Lei Yunteng almost go bankrupt, he felt somewhat guilty.
Cao Yi chose to wait for the other party where he was.
Not long after, Lei Yunteng drove an off-road vehicle to the foot of the hillside.
"Taoist Master, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Lei Yunteng got out of the car and walked up with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lei, why are you here?"
Cao Yi also had a smile on his face.
However, compared to Lei Yunteng, he is much more reserved.
Lei Yunteng pointed to Gangniu Valley and said, "I invested all my wealth and borrowed a lot of money to invest in this iron ore project."
If you look for any iron mine, you can find someone you know investing in it.
Cao Yi didn't know how to describe his luck.
"With such a big iron mine, Mr. Lei should be able to make a lot of money, right?"
Cao Yi smiled.
In my memory, those who work in the mines make money while lying down.
The original smile on Lei Yunteng's face disappeared, and he sighed: "What kind of money can I make? I'm ready to cut my flesh and leave."
Cao Yi didn't know much about the Australian mining industry. He had also heard that Australia earned hundreds of billions of dollars from China every year by selling iron ore.
Could it be that his wealth was not completely returned to Lei Yunteng?
Cao Yi subconsciously thought of the pot he made.
"Stop talking, the Taoist priest is my guest when he arrives at Steel Cow Valley. It's time for lunch. I'll ask the Taoist priest to try Australia's three treasures. Get in the car."
Lei Yunteng extended the invitation.
"You're welcome if you are a poor Taoist."
Cao Yi smiled and accepted the invitation.
Walking down the hillside with Lei Yunteng, we got into the jeep.
Not far gone.
Suddenly, a dark figure jumped on the jeep.
"what?"
Lei Yunteng braked suddenly.
"Woof"
The black shadow, or Xiaotian, made a small sound, similar to a greeting.
"Erha"
Lei Yunteng was stunned.
"Have you ever seen such a poor person?"
Cao Yi said.
Lei Yunteng groaned.
The Jeep kept going.
The roads are terrible because there are no roads.
Lei Yunteng showed an expression of hesitation several times.
Cao Yi felt funny and said bluntly: "Mr. Lei, just tell me if you have anything to do?"
Lei Yunteng asked seriously: "Has Daoist Xu really become an immortal?"
Xu Keming has been 'dead' for so long, and I still miss him.
People!
Even though I have money, I am still not satisfied and want to live longer.
Cao Yi deliberately hesitated for a few seconds before saying with an uncertain look: "Maybe he went to a different world."
Lei Yunteng felt extremely disappointed.
If Cao Yi admitted it outright, he would still have doubts.
Cao Yi was not sure, it meant he was really dead.
Soon, the off-road vehicle arrived in front of a simple restaurant.
“Regardless of how well the restaurant is built, the ingredients are top-notch.”
Lei Yunteng said and got out of the car.
Cao Yi followed and got out of the car.
After entering, Lei Yunteng went directly to the second floor and entered a room inside.
After sitting down, Lei Yunteng asked curiously: "Is the Taoist priest coming to Australia?"
"travel"
Cao Yi gave a bad answer.
Sure enough, Lei Yunteng didn't ask again.
The two talked about other things, but mostly Lei Yunteng complained.
Later, I said that Australian pigs are not castrated, they are very naughty, and the meat is not edible at all.
Later, I said that there are many small animals, such as large poisonous spiders and snakes, which can often be seen in the toilet.
I mentioned later that the internet speed in Australia is very slow.
Let me briefly mention that the efficiency of the Australian administrative department is very low. Even a small task may take several weeks.
…
Until he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Come in"
Lei Yunteng said.
The door opened from the outside, and a white waiter wearing white gloves and a small suit walked in pushing a dining cart.
There is red wine and glasses on the dining car, as well as lobster, king crab, and white oysters. They should be the three treasures of Australia mentioned by Lei Yunteng.
"Taoist Priest, I remember that you are a regular student and you can eat seafood."
Lei Yunteng said.
Cao Yi nodded.
Just as the white waiter was bringing the seafood to the table, Lei Yunteng's cell phone rang.
He took out his phone and clicked it, and a hoarse voice came from the other end: "Ley, Holden told me that you rejected my request. It's such a pity. We can only meet in court."
"See you in court, see you in court"
After Lei Yunteng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
