Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 23 [Gold is secured, return to Earth to Africa]

Today, Xiao Yu, who had been out on business, returned to Fengquan City and came to a new residence.

During this period of time, Xing Yuan has been making a lot of money from selling various food products. Three days ago, he bought a house directly in Fengquan City, which is more convenient.

After returning to the house, Xiao Yu took off his breathing mask, went to the sofa in the living room and lay down directly, looking extremely tired.

"After a while, I still have to set up a company here on Blue Star." Xiao Yu has been running business personally during this period, traveling between many cities, which is really tiring.

In the future, I will definitely set up a company on Blue Star, and let the company's employees do the front-line business. I only need to move the grain from Earth to the warehouse on Blue Star, and I don't have to go to the front line to sell it myself.

Fortunately, food-related products have no trouble selling on Blue Star because of their excellent liquidity and strong monetization capabilities.

Xiao Yu opened the holographic bracelet to check the two anonymous bank accounts. The balances were shown as 5102.81 million star dollars and 3367.5 million star dollars respectively, totaling 8470.31 million star dollars.

"It's so easy to make money, as easy as breathing..." Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.

After resting for a while, Xiao Yu contacted the merchant who sold gold. He planned to spend money to purchase 35 tons of gold. The gold produced here on Blue Star is the same as the steel coils on Earth.

It’s just called Gold Scroll here. After all, on Blue Star, gold is just an ordinary industrial metal raw material.

Xiao Yu asked the merchants to refine the gold into pure gold first, without any other impurities. This requirement was to prevent other substances from the Blue Star world from being brought to Earth.

For example, things like natural superconducting minerals, and maybe other unknown substances that do not exist on Earth. After all, the Blue Planet "messed" with a black hole billions of years ago. It would be troublesome if sensational news came out on Earth at that time.

After purification, impurities are added. These impurities are added according to Xiao Yu's requirements, that is, a small amount of gold-related elements, because there is very little pure gold in nature.

Purification is done first to avoid the mixing of special substances unique to the blue planet. Adding impurities after purification is more in line with natural gold.

Xiao Yu also required merchants to grind gold into gold sand powder particles of different sizes and regularities, so that they could be like natural gold sand, large or small, but not exactly the same. At the same time, the maximum mass of a single piece of gold could not exceed 10 kilograms.

This series of requirements are all for the purpose of better meeting the requirements for artificially creating natural gold mines on Earth. It would be easier to directly obtain a single piece of gold weighing a whole ton, but Xiao Yu did not forget that the largest single piece of natural gold known to have been discovered on Earth is only about 60 kilograms.

But the situation on Blue Star is very exaggerated. In some areas, there are mountains made of real gold.

It would be too scary if a single piece of gold weighing an entire ton was moved to Earth and then exposed. It would definitely be on the news. Xiao Yu did not want to attract too much attention.

The merchants don’t understand why customers have such strange requests, but it doesn’t matter. The merchants only care about whether the deal can be concluded and whether the customer’s requirements can be met.

Because the price Xiao Yu offered was very generous, the market price of 35 tons of gold on Blue Star was 185 million star dollars, but Xiao Yu offered a price of 300 million star dollars. The extra premium was to meet his additional requirements for processing.

The merchant was very happy and said that he would provide attentive service.

Merchants don’t care what customers do with the gold. Gold is not a controlled substance on Blue Star, just like graphene materials. As long as you have money and are willing to buy and sell, no one will care what you do with it.

Time flies and it's been 8 Blue Star Days. The merchant completed the delivery of 35 tons of gold purchased by Xiao Yu 8 days (Blue Star Day) later and sent it to the warehouse designated by Xiao Yu in Fengquan City.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's like exchanging only 1500 kilograms of watermelon for 35 tons of gold..." Xiao Yu was alone in the warehouse at the moment. He grabbed a handful of gold sand, loosened his five fingers and watched the gold sand particles flow and fall from the gaps between his fingers.

If these 35 tons of gold were brought to Earth, it would be worth an astronomical figure of 132 billion RMB.

Xiao Yu clapped his hands, shook off the gold sand on his hands, put away his sentimental thoughts and prepared to carry out the next plan.

Once all this gold is brought to Earth, it will take some time to properly arrange it there. Xiao Yu has already decided on a specific plan, which is to buy a mine in Africa. It would be best to get an abandoned gold mine that others think is no longer capable of producing gold, and then take it over at a low price.

After opening the teleportation star gate again, Xiao Yu returned to the bedroom of his own villa on Earth.

Next, he planned to go to Africa in person and take several employees from Linghan New Materials Company on a business trip abroad. The idea was already clear: to go to Africa to look for graphite mines.

Linghan New Materials has now announced that it has mastered the unique technology for preparing high-purity graphene materials. The purification and preparation of graphene definitely requires graphite ore, and Africa is a continent rich in graphite ore. It is reasonable to contract graphite mines in Africa.

However, he was extremely lucky and discovered a gold mine in the contracted mine, and he bought it at a very low price.

Xiao Yu did not plan to put this so-called "gold mine" under the name of Prism Technology, but to buy the mine in the name of Linghan New Materials Company. Of course, it will belong to the assets under the name of Linghan New Materials, but it will definitely be beneficial to the stock price of Prism Technology.

Because the restructuring plan has now been announced, Prism Technology will absorb 51% of Linghan New Materials' shares and consolidate its financial statements.

If it is under the name of Prism Technology, Zhou Baichuan and several other investment institutions will also have to hold shares. At that time, it will be difficult to let them cut off the market with bloodshed. After all, these are real assets, which will provide strong support for subsequent plans to suppress the stock price.

But it will be different if it is under the name of Linghan New Materials. If it is announced that the merger and reorganization has failed due to other factors, Zhou Baichuan and his friends will not get a penny.

"Uncle Qin, help me book some tickets to Africa..." Xiao Yu called the butler Qin Yue and asked him to arrange the overseas travel matters. In the next period of time, he would go to Africa in person to inspect, select sites, and buy mines.

……

On the weekend of May 5, Xiao Yu selected a group of people from Linghan New Materials Company and took them directly abroad.

Prism Technology also told assistant Yun Shu that she would be in charge of the company's affairs, so Xiao Yu had nothing to worry about.

This time, we plan to stay in Africa for more than a month, because this matter needs to be arranged, which will take a lot of time and effort to complete. This is all to ensure that the gold from Blue Star can appear on Earth smoothly and reasonably, so that the discovery of gold mines can be made public.

With this so-called gold mine, Linghan New Materials will no longer be short of funds. Thirty tons of gold can be converted into tens of billions of funds.

During the days when Xiao Yu was making plans in Africa, the bull-short game in the secondary market for his own company's stocks in China was also quite intense. After the stock price hit an all-time high of 28.72 yuan, it was pushed down to half the price by short sellers led by several investors of Penghui Capital, and once fell to a low of 13.26 yuan.

However, the bulls are not weak either. The stock price has very strong support at 15 yuan, and the bulls and bears are fighting back and forth.

Now there are mainly two logics that provide tremendous confidence support.

One is that Linghan New Materials and Prism Technology have the same owner, which is a related transaction, so shareholders firmly believe that the restructuring will be successful.

Secondly, retail investors began to hotly discuss the gambling agreement between Xiao Yu and the investors. The stock price has not yet reached the target market value of 265 billion yuan, and Xiao Yu has not completed the gambling agreement. How could the market trend end?

Now the market unanimously recognizes that the value of Linghan New Materials far exceeds that of Prism Technology, and various funds involved in the game are waiting for the news of the reorganization to be announced.

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

Xiao Yu's layout in Africa was finally completed. In order to artificially create a gold mine, Xiao Yu had really put a lot of effort into it over this period of time. He had to do it himself and layout it secretly. He was almost exhausted.

He swore that after getting these 35 tons of gold, he would never do this again. It was really a thankless task.

If you want to make money, you can directly trade Blue Star's black technology, and then naturally turn it into innovative technology products of your own technology company and sell it on the market. The speed of making money is ten or even a hundred times faster than directly trading gold.

The key is to be able to sell products openly without so many concerns. After all, it is not as troublesome as dealing in gold.

Unless the company becomes a trillion-dollar super giant in the future, it can then directly turn gold into its own cash reserves, which will not only allow for larger volumes but also save on trouble.

It seems reasonable to outsiders that a super giant company with a trillion-dollar scale has hundreds of tons of gold as cash reserves.

But then again, if it really grows to that size, the demand won’t be that great.

The conclusion is that it is okay to have some gold for emergency use, but there is no need to trade it on a large scale.
