Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 533 Natural Platinum Ore
Sheng Jiu paused slightly as he opened the door.

Is there a mine?

Moreover, if the system can speak, the ore is probably valuable.

She thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What kind of mine?"

[Natural platinum ore.]

Sheng Jiu felt a little familiar with what she heard, but her understanding of these things was limited to the information she had looked up when she was selling shrimp shells before.

It felt familiar, yet also somewhat unfamiliar.

This prompted Sheng Jiu to ask in a low voice, "Is it very valuable?"

Many rare metals can be extracted from natural platinum ore, among which rhodium is particularly valuable.

Sheng Jiu wanted to check the phone, but there was no cell phone signal in the Western Fantasy Continent, so she couldn't check it for the time being.

However, if the system says it's valuable, then it must be valuable.

Sheng Jiu couldn't wait to start mining.

However, the system prevented her from using it.

[It is recommended to hire someone to mine it, preferably a local native. Although natural platinum ore is relatively stable, it contains radioactive elements, so it is not advisable for the host to take the risk personally.]

Upon hearing that there were radioactive elements, Sheng Jiu quickly opened the door, pulled the other two people back inside, and then slammed the door shut.

Lin Duo and Alex initially thought that Sheng Jiu had seen something again, which was why they weren't in a hurry to leave.

When they were pulled over, the two of them were still completely bewildered.

what?
what's up?
Suddenly I was pulled back?

After having the system mark the location, Sheng Jiu started thinking about how to mine.

If it's rarer and more valuable than gold...

It would be good to dig it up.

Moreover, now that I'm back, I can look up information.

Sheng Jiu searched online again.

This metal is not found in large quantities in China, but it has a wide range of uses.

Things are rare.

It's normal for the price to be high.

In the past, Sheng Jiu would have needed to think about how to legally and reasonably convert these things into normal money.

However, now that the system is running, she doesn't need to worry about it.

All she had to do was wait to collect the money.

After figuring it out, Sheng Jiu pulled Alex aside to discuss the matter of hiring someone to mine.

However, before they could exchange more than a few words, Bohr came over to remind them that lunch was about to start.

Since we just reopened after the Lunar New Year, there weren't many customers at the restaurant. It was mostly local young people who had just started working and were willing to come and eat.

Those who don't want to move will still order takeout.

Since Yu Ji introduced its premium dishes, many of its former affordable alternatives have gradually disappeared from the restaurant.

They seem to be intentionally trying to make themselves the second Xingyuan.

However, given Xingyuan's overall standards, its consumption standards certainly won't be low.

It's normal for a drink in a five-star hotel to cost over twenty yuan a bottle.

If you sell it for six yuan at a roadside stall, people will accuse you of being greedy!

Therefore, there is a lot of criticism directed at Yu Ji these days.

Diners who used to consider Yu Ji a substitute for Sheng Ji are no longer willing to go there. There are many takeout options available, with subsidies and coupons, so there's no need to go to Yu Ji to eat.

Moreover, don't you have any idea what the quality of the ingredients at Yu Ji is like?
Yes, yes, the ingredients are alright, but you've spared no expense on technology and ruthless techniques!

For this reason, Yu Ji's business is also very slow today.

The newly appointed store manager felt somewhat relieved seeing that there weren't many people coming and going from Shengji.

The former store manager resigned and went back to his hometown to go on blind dates, citing family pressure to get married during the Chinese New Year.

As for the truth or the falsehood, who knows?

After the New Year, he said that the relationship didn't work out and came back to look for a job. Does Xingyuan still want to kill him?

It's just the manager of a small street-side shop; there's really no need for that. The other party did consider whether to come for an interview at Shengji.

However, I also felt that this was like declaring war on Yu Ji, which wasn't a good idea.

So, after thinking it over, I decided to forget about it.

There are so many restaurants here, including many large ones. Xingyuan's boss isn't exactly a gentleman. If he actually did that, it's fine if he doesn't get exposed, but if he does, he'll just be asking for trouble.

What will he do if Shengji doesn't protect him then?

Yu Ji's new store manager was promoted from a supervisor at Xingyuan.

There was no room for further promotion at headquarters, so he was directly transferred to Yu Ji.

Yu Ji's turnover had already been declining before the Lunar New Year.

Compared to when they first started the price war, their sales were even more dismal.

When price wars are waged, the sales figures look very good. Although the profit margin is low, every little bit counts.

now……

Prices are high, but sales are impressive.

The store manager wondered if he had been scammed.

But what else can we do?

He worked at Xingyuan for many years, and he's still paying his insurance.

Okay, let's just get started.

The new store manager sighed, stood at the entrance, and looked in the direction of Shengji.

Shengji's lunch break is a genuine rest, unlike their usual practices. They say they're taking a lunch break, but if customers come in, they still operate as usual.

After Sheng Jiu finished lunch, Ares came over.

He's been very busy lately. There are constant Zerg fluctuations on two nearby planets, and he needs to go and help them from time to time.

He also needs to use his spare time to help Xia City with the siege.

Although Xia City is currently on a winning streak, Ares dares not let his guard down.

After all, the fighting power of nomadic peoples should not be underestimated.

I came here at noon today to have a brief tactical exchange with the necromancer leader, and also to have a new tactical discussion with General Lin.

The entire visit lasted 36 minutes, with only 2 minutes spent speaking to Sheng Jiu and presenting her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Sheng Jiu was very busy at noon and didn't have time to look at the flowers much.

After dinner and seeing Ares off, Sheng Jiu pulled Alex aside and started discussing mining with him.

Mining is also practiced in the Western Fantasy Continent.

Who knows what the alchemists might do?

We have to try all sorts of magic and materials.

Therefore, Alex had never taken on a mining mission, but he did have some knowledge of it.

"This isn't expensive. Although mining does have some risks, overall it's not very difficult, so the price is also very cheap."

"Hiring an individual would be an option, but it wouldn't be cost-effective. A small team is more suitable. Although it costs more money, it's also more efficient."

……

Although Alex intended to help the lone wolf player, he could only tell the truth to his savior.

Sorry, guys.

If there are other opportunities in the future, I will definitely remember you guys.

But now, sorry, he has to side with the small boss.

After listening, Sheng Jiu started drawing sketches, asked the system for some information, and then discussed with Alex how many people and how many gold coins they would need for the mine they had seen earlier.

Finally, it is necessary to confirm with the system that once the ore is acquired, it will be taken away immediately to prevent Sheng Jiu from being exposed to radiation.

Although the system says that the amount is negligible.

However, Sheng Jiu was afraid of dying.

Therefore, thorough preparation is still necessary!

　The second update will be at 19 PM.
