#207 - Chapter 207: The richest man in Pingnan? A gold belt for murder and arson!
“The richest man in Pingnan County.”
County Magistrate Tang lowered his voice: “Mr. Chen, don’t even think about it! In Shanghai, you are a famous big boss, but a mighty dragon can't crush a local snake. The Yao family has a deep background!”
This was a well-intentioned reminder.
He didn't want his important investor to have an accident.
The Yao family's background was not simple; even he had to greet them with a smile, let alone Chen Hao, who was from out of town?
Chen Hao chuckled inwardly.
If the other party was doing legitimate business, he wouldn't have many options. But 'local snake' implies…
At best, violations!
At worst, crimes!
He stopped halfway through his sentence.
“Mr. Chen, in any case, don't have any ideas about the manganese mines in this area, or you'll be in big trouble!”
“Thank you for the reminder.”
Chen Hao changed the subject: “County Magistrate Tang, you should tell me about the situation so I can be prepared, right?”
“This…”
County Magistrate Tang hesitated for a moment.
Some things were best left unsaid, or he'd get burned.
But Chen Hao planned to invest heavily in Pingnan.
If he didn't make things clear and give the other party a heads-up, there would be even bigger trouble if something really happened in the future.
“This manganese mine is divided into several mining areas,” County Magistrate Tang began to explain in detail.
Different mining areas were contracted to different companies.
However.
Yao Huaqiang used various means to force other companies to withdraw.
There was one company that refused to move at all, and eventually…
“Eventually what?” Chen Hao asked quickly.
“In short.”
County Magistrate Tang didn't continue: “Mr. Chen, apart from this manganese mine, everything else is negotiable.”
A 1 billion investment!
A huge buyout of up to 5 billion!
What kind of political achievement was this?
“So you're saying.”
Chen Hao grinned: “Only one mining area belongs to Yao Huaqiang, right?”
“That's right,” County Magistrate Tang nodded.
The other mining areas didn't belong to Yao Huaqiang, but he didn't want to spend more money to buy them.
It was simple!
Force the other mining companies to leave, and he could secretly mine in other mining areas. Who could stop him?
Given the Yao family's background, they could only turn a blind eye.
“How about this!”
Chen Hao laughed heartily: “Why not seize the day! Let's sign the agreement today. What do you think?”
Today?
County Magistrate Tang was stunned: “This matter requires a meeting to discuss, and the Party Secretary…”
“Okay! I'll wait for you.”
“Now? So urgent?”
“Now!”
“Alright!”
County Magistrate Tang nodded.
The God of Wealth had come to his door, with tens of billions within reach. What reason was there to refuse?
He immediately convened the leadership team for a meeting.
On the other side.
Chen Hao left the office, his brow slightly furrowed.
Today was Friday.
He had promised his wife to do experiments on the weekend, and there were less than two days left until Sunday.
He absolutely couldn't break his promise to his wife!
Also, there was the LCD TV auction.
But now…
If he acted immediately, there wouldn't be enough people around him if a serious conflict broke out.
It seemed.
He had to use some other forces.
He walked to a corner and made a phone call.
…
In 2000, the entire Pingnan County's GDP was only 2.5 billion.
What was the concept of a 5 billion buyout?
Two years of GDP!
The total value of known mineral veins with development value in Pingnan was far less than 5 billion—this was giving away money!
The leadership team quickly made a decision.
Agree to the transaction.
Sign the agreement immediately!
Chen Hao was also straightforward: 5 billion was transferred to the county's financial account, and another special account was opened with 1 billion in special funds coming in—not to be misappropriated or used for other purposes, only for the mining industry.
From this moment on.
Within Pingnan County, except for a few owned mines, the rest belonged to Shengshi Mining.
“Chairman Chen, happy cooperation!”
The agreement was officially signed.
County Magistrate Tang shook hands with Chen Hao, his face filled with smiles.
6 billion!
The God of Wealth!
“Let's go!”
The corners of County Magistrate Tang's mouth were stretched to the roots of his ears: “I'm hosting tonight, Chairman Chen must do me the honor!”
“No problem!”
Chen Hao nodded with a smile: “I'll go make some arrangements first.”
“Okay, I'll wait for Chairman Chen.”
“See you later.”
A few minutes later.
Chen Hao returned, but one person was missing beside him.
He would bring two people when he went out.
One was the pinnacle of martial force—Xiang Yan.
The other was Xiang Yan's partner.
In terms of personal combat power, he was far inferior to Xiang Yan, but when it came to things other than martial force…
Xiang Yan couldn't even drive a car, okay?
And he.
As an elite of the reconnaissance company, he was proficient in various special abilities, such as reconnaissance, infiltration, and lurking.
…
The next morning.
In the dilapidated county guesthouse.
Chen Hao had just finished washing up when Xiang Yan knocked on the door: “Chairman Chen, Lao Shi is back.”
Shi Dali.
Xiang Yan's partner.
Chen Hao noticed that his eyes were full of red bloodshot.
Yesterday, he secretly instructed Shi Dali to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Yao family.
“How's the investigation going?”
Chen Hao let him in and handed him a bottle of mineral water.
Glug!
Shi Dali took a big gulp: “The Yao family has murder cases, and more than one!”
“What about the victims?” Chen Hao asked quickly.
“Including the previous mining company.”
“What?!”
Chen Hao's expression froze: “Having the ability to open a mining company means they can't be without any background. Even if the Yao family has an even stronger background, they killed someone… and that's it?”
Two years ago.
That area of manganese mines was mined by several companies, but now only Yao Huaqiang's family remains.
In order to monopolize the manganese mine, Yao Huaqiang used many methods, and one company after another was forced to leave.
But there was still one that insisted on resisting.
In the end, they were exterminated!
County Magistrate Tang stopped when he talked about this matter.
Therefore, he asked Shi Dali to investigate overnight.
“Chairman Chen, you would never guess Yao Huaqiang's methods,” Shi Dali said through gritted teeth.
“What methods?”
“Think about it, what kind of person can kill someone without being shot or going to jail?”
“You mean…”
Chen Hao's expression froze.
The next moment, his eyes became cold: “It's Saturday, it's time to go back to Shanghai—have the people arrived?”
“They chartered a plane to Nanning last night and should be arriving soon.”
Just then.
Chen Hao's phone rang. The number was specially left to him by Zhao Long before he left.
…
Thirty kilometers west of the county seat.
The ground was dug into huge sinkholes.
Many ores were piled on the open space.
In this era, without a lot of mechanical operations, countless workers were sweating like rain, desperately mining.
Not far from the mine pit.
Several rows of houses were built.
In one of them.
A short, fat man, hugging a young and beautiful girl, was smiling lewdly as he touched her up and down.
Dong dong dong!
The door was knocked loudly: “Boss…”
“Are you f***ing looking for death?!” Yao Huaqiang shouted angrily.
“No…”
The subordinate was startled.
When others said 'looking for death,' it was cursing, but when these words came from the boss's mouth, it was likely to make you die!
“Boss, something happened!” the subordinate quickly explained.
“Did a mine disaster kill someone? Or did your mother die?” Yao Huaqiang opened the door with a cold face.
“It's…”
The subordinate whispered: “Someone came to mine, and our people went to ask. The other party said… that except for your mine pit, the rest was bought by them.”
“Haha!”
Yao Huaqiang wasn't angry at all, but laughed wildly: “There really are people who aren't afraid of death!”
“Let's go! Go meet them!”
“By the way, call Xiao Bin and tell him. We might need him to help.”
