Early this morning, Han Yunshan and other five elders came to meet Han Feng.
After seeing Han Feng, the five of them all bowed to the head of the family. Han Feng helped the five of them up, feeling a little confused.
Recently, in order to build a family, the five of them have been busy almost every day without being seen.
Today, they came together to pay homage to themselves, which was naturally a bit abnormal.
Seeing that the five people seemed to be a little worried, Han Feng couldn't help but ask why.
After asking, Han Feng realized that the five people were actually worried about "money".
It turned out that Han Feng brought these tribesmen back to the branch.
The confidants of Han Yunshan and others also brought back a batch of resources, martial arts and exercises.
However, it is a bit reluctant to make a big family run with more than two thousand spirit stones and a small amount of pills.
Although these days, Han Yunshan and the others have begun to operate some industries in the city.
But before everything started functioning normally, most of the spirit stones had been consumed.
Coupled with the food, clothing, housing, transportation and cultivation of the clan members, if this continues, the Han family will fall into an "economic crisis" before it is officially operational.
After hearing this difficult question raised by several people, Han Feng also frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Third Elder, according to the current situation, if we want to keep the family on track and run on its own, how many spiritual stones will it cost?"
Han Yunshan answered directly.
"We have calculated that as long as we invest another two thousand spirit stones, the family's construction can be completed, and the industries we operate in the city can start to operate normally. By then, the family will be able to slowly make a profit."
"Two thousand spirit stones."
Compared to establishing a martial arts family with a complete system that can operate on its own, this is actually not much.
However, Han Feng felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this number.
Not long ago, after the Qingyang Gang was eliminated, Han Feng was once a rich man with a net worth of more than 5,000 spirit stones.
However, as he practiced hard day after day, the spiritual stones in Han Feng's body were also decreasing sharply.
By now, nearly half of Han Feng's spiritual stones had been consumed, leaving less than three thousand spiritual stones.
If it were up to me to fill this vacancy, I could barely fill it.
However, as one's realm and strength improve, more and more spiritual stones will be consumed.
Secondly, if something unexpected happens to the family again, what will I do to fill the vacancy?
Sure enough, the ideal of building a family is very fulfilling, but the current world is very cruel.
As the head of the family, Han Feng is naturally obliged to solve this big problem.
After thinking for a long time, Han Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, don't we still have a vein of refined iron ore?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Yunshan and others' eyes lit up.
As the elders of the Han family, Han Yunshan and others naturally knew that the value of this refined iron ore vein was definitely far more than two thousand spirit stones.
However, everyone was happy for a moment when Han Yunshan talked about it.
After the capital investment required to mine a refined iron ore vein, everyone was a little worried.
Han Feng originally thought that the investment in mining a refined iron ore vein would not be too much, at most it would only cost about a hundred spiritual stones and about 100,000 gold coins.
However, Han Yunshan told Han Feng.
Concentrated iron veins are different from ordinary iron ore. The veins are extremely hard. The mining tools used must be made of first-class materials. The workers hired to mine must also be strong warriors.
Even if the tribesmen were allowed to mine the veins together to save labor, the initial investment in spiritual stones would probably be in the thousands.
And these have not yet calculated the operating costs after mining, the losses during the mining process, the payback period... and other issues.
After hearing these tips, the corners of Han Feng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Sure enough, everything costs money.
After thinking for a moment, Han Feng said to several people.
"Elders, you don't need to worry about the funds. Leave it to me.
I will take care of it in the next few days, you go and do your work first. "
After the five people heard this, although they were worried, they could only leave for the time being.
Han Feng was alone, thinking about ways to solve the problem.
The first thing he thought of was "Dark Fragrance Pavilion". Zhao Weinan came to see him two days ago.
It is said that Anxiang Pavilion made a lot of profits in the first quarter, but the dividends from the first quarter can be used to temporarily support the family's expenses.
However, this is only a temporary measure. If you want the family to develop stably, you may have to start from the mineral veins.
After pondering for a long time, Han Feng thought and had another idea.
With the successful case of Anxiang Pavilion in the past, why should I mine the veins alone, still find someone to cooperate, or even directly sell the veins.
And when he thought of selling the mine, a graceful and pretty figure could not help but appear in Han Feng's mind.
Not long ago, at the Imperial Trading House auction.
Mu Qianxun once said that one of her friends wanted to buy this mine.
However, Han Feng had no intention of making a deal with Mu Qianxun.
This woman is too dangerous and her intentions are unclear.
If he did business with her, Han Feng was afraid that if he wasn't careful, she might even eat him to pieces.
But what really puzzled Han Feng was.
Why is Mu Qianxun so interested in this fine iron ore vein?
The origin of the other party is mysterious. It is impossible that he is so interested just to earn spiritual stones.
Could it be that this mine has some other secrets?
After thinking for a while, Han Feng simply decided to go to the location of the mineral vein to investigate in person today.
After all, even if you want to change hands of the mineral vein, or cooperate with others to mine it.
Han Feng should also have a general understanding of the mineral veins.
After making up his mind, Han Feng asked Binger and Butler Zhang the exact location of the mineral vein.
When Butler Zhang heard that Han Feng was going to the mines, he took the initiative and suggested that he drive Han Feng there in a carriage.
He had been to the mines several times before and was very familiar with the location.
Han Feng thought this would be convenient, so he asked Butler Zhang to lead the way, and the two of them drove the carriage towards the north.
It turns out that the location of the mineral vein is more than thirty miles away from the Han family branch, but it is relatively close to the boundary of Mongu Ridge.
On the way, Butler Zhang waved his riding whip and asked Han Feng curiously.
"Master, are you preparing to dig for mineral veins?"
Han Feng was also sitting on the deck with Butler Zhang. Hearing the words, he answered casually.
"Just taking a look, I'm not sure yet."
"oh……"
Butler Zhang nodded, but there was a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I remember that when the old master was here, he also planned to dig that mine."
"oh……?"
Han Feng said with some doubts.
"My father is also planning to dig that mine?"
"Well...yes, the head of the family had already gathered the manpower and was ready to start.
But after the family owner personally went to the mine, he didn't know what was going on. As soon as he came back, he ordered to stop digging the mine for the time being.
This delay has ended now, and the old family master is no longer here, alas...! "
Butler Zhang shook his head and sighed, seeming to feel extremely sorry for Han Xiaotian's death.
However, after listening to Butler Zhang's words, Han Feng became suspicious.
You know, when his father was in charge of the family, the Han family was almost more popular than the city lord's palace. It was naturally quite strong in both financial and human resources.
It was just a vein of fine iron ore, so why did the excavation suddenly stop?
At this time, Han Feng vaguely remembered the first time he met Mu Qianxun.
In addition to asking about the mineral veins, the other party also asked a lot about his father.
Is there any connection between the two?
Han Feng squinted his eyes, feeling more and more that this iron ore vein was extraordinary.
While thinking and doubting in his heart, the carriage had been driving for a long time, and Butler Zhang suddenly spoke.
"Master, look, the low mountain in front is where the mineral vein is!"
