Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 400 You might make a killing, but I'll never lose!

When talking about those treasures that made Xia Yiyi's mouth water, Bai Ling immediately abandoned her plan to target the security personnel and use various methods to keep them behind.

The reason is simple: these students, who will soon be sent to the future to study at various universities, all bear the future of the world of Beijing and are the most precious treasures in the world of Beijing!
If Xia Yiyi were to imitate this and fall for all sorts of tricks, she would be completely swayed.
Even if only one or two are abducted, it is something that the world of Beijing absolutely cannot accept!
Bai Ling will definitely cry herself to death!

The problem is, it's not worth it for him either!
Bai Ling would definitely not do a business that loses money!

Therefore, this thought only flashed through Bai Ling's mind for a moment.

Immediately, Bai Ling forgot about it.

There wasn't the slightest bit of embarrassment at Xia Yiyi exposing her little scheme.

Faced with Xia Yiyi's threat, Bai Ling immediately retorted.

"You even said I always like to peek through the crack in the door, and that you're no better than me if you look down on people! Which eye of yours saw me trying to harm them? You're just talking nonsense! Let me tell you, if you dare to spout nonsense and slander me again, I'll sue you for defamation!"

Even at this point, Bai Ling is still pretending.

He gave a lukewarm reply.

"Whether it's slander or not, you know in your heart. Anyway, I've said my piece: if you dare to target them, then I dare to target those students. Let's see who can't hold out any longer."

His shameless behavior infuriated Bai Ling, who glared at him and blurted out a retort.

"you dare!"

However, because Bai Ling was somewhat fierce but weak at this moment, she couldn't scare anyone at all.

Helpless, Bai Ling could only suppress her anger and try to reason with Xia Yiyi.

After some negotiations, some progress was finally made.

At least verbally, a promise was indeed made that no harm would be done to the learning and exchange personnel sent by the other party.

Coincidentally, just as everyone was rushing, Lao Luo, who was truly capable of making decisions and at least partially able to take charge, arrived.

I briefly explained the situation to Lao Luo and received his assurance once again.

"Although we already have a candidate for the head of the guard battalion, the deputy position is definitely not a problem. Don't worry, as soon as our discussion ends, I'll report to my superiors immediately. I'll give you a reply as soon as possible and finalize this matter quickly!"

And yet another moment of comfort.
"Actually, given our relationship, who's really that close to whom? What's this about 'official' or 'deputy'? We just discuss things together. Don't you think that makes sense?"

The strong aroma of the man's scent immediately brought the image of him to Xia Yiyi's mind.

But since it was Lao Luo in person, she couldn't press him to tell her whether what he said was true or false, or whether he would suddenly change his mind in an emergency.
"Once the guns start firing, the entire regiment has to listen to me!"

Therefore, Xia Yiyi could only respond with a slightly stiff smile.

Then, the conversation turned to the progress of mining various minerals.

Seeing that Xia Yiyi directly asked about the progress of the collection, completely different from his previous guilty conscience of stuffing in some random things to make up the numbers, Lao Luo, now confident, was in high spirits and beaming with joy as he introduced the latest situation to Xia Yiyi.

"Because we have plenty of fuel here right now, and all the trucks are powerful and reliable, they can easily haul tens or even hundreds of tons." "Wait, tens or even hundreds of tons?! No, with the road conditions where you are, can a truck weighing hundreds of tons even run?"

Isn't it?
Given the conditions in the Beijing area, where dirt roads are everywhere and gravel roads are rare, and where there are often trucks weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, Xia Yi really couldn't imagine how they managed to drive them.

However, it is precisely because the road conditions in the Beijing area are not particularly good that heavy vehicles cannot travel on them; the road conditions limit the performance of the vehicles.
"That's why we can only manage to haul a few dozen or a hundred tons right now. Otherwise, the experienced drivers who drive hundreds of tons say that with our good trucks and our skills, we could definitely handle it!"

The explosive reply left Xia Yiyi completely dumbfounded.

Continuing from the previous topic, Lao Luo continued.

"In addition, we have urgently trained tens of thousands of qualified drivers during this period. On the roads, we have also mobilized construction teams in various regions to carry out emergency repairs on roads traversed by vehicles. Now, tens of thousands of vehicles are traveling to and from various places every day, continuously hauling minerals back from different mines."

"So, unlike last time when we could only put in some medicinal herbs and local specialties to make do, this time, we're sure we can gather a considerable amount of minerals. Regardless of how much we make, at least we can offset part of our debt, that's definitely not a problem!"

What's the key?
The key point is that this is just the beginning!

As investment continues to increase here, the number of vehicles that will be able to drive on the road will definitely increase!
Furthermore, Beijing is a vast and resource-rich city. Apart from a very small number of minerals, it has a wide variety of common minerals, and even some minerals that are relatively rare in later generations.
"Just watch and see! Maybe it won't be long before we're able to pay off our debts completely, and maybe even turn around and start making money off you!"

"Make money off us?"

What kind of money? Is it the RMB that we print out on paper, or even just a set of data, a string of numbers?
if it is like this.
"That's great!"

I am truly happy for the achievements made in the world of Beijing and delighted for the amazing benefits that will be gained in the future!

Even Bai Ling, who was standing next to him, seemed much cuter in Xia Yi's eyes!

Bai Ling felt uncomfortable laughing.

I couldn't help but retort.

"Your smile is awful!"

But Xia Yiyi remained as enthusiastic as ever.

He acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, laughing so hard he couldn't stop.

They responded to Lao Luo very enthusiastically.

"Do you have enough car and gas? If not, just let me know! With our friendship, what debts or owing money? They don't exist at all! Just tell me!"

Both sides were very sincere and enthusiastic, which made everyone very satisfied.

Although Bai Ling and Lao Luo knew that doing this would definitely give future generations a huge advantage.
But isn't it all the same whether someone makes money or not?
Besides, the Four Nine City World side isn't losing out either!

It truly proves the old saying
"You might make a killing, but I'll never lose!"

The conversation ended abruptly amidst a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and laughter.

Then, those who needed to rush back to Ximen Lang's side did so, and those who needed to report to their superiors did so.
