Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 215: A large amount of experience points are received

Kremlin Office, Moscow, June 1960.

"Sholokhov, is there any special news from the capital?"

Khrueukin in the office asked in a low voice.

Two days ago, they suddenly issued an order that more than 10,000 Moscow experts were all evacuated from the capital. The only people left in the capital were a few people living in Courtyard No. 4, Dongzhimen Beizhong Street.

It can almost be said that if Khrushchev and his men want to get news from the capital, they can only rely on Andrei Razov.

As the head of the KGB, Sholokhov was almost blind because all the agents had evacuated and no one was left in the capital.

But Khrushchev was used to asking this question. After all, this kind of thing was usually asked to Sholokhov.

"Comrade Heru, since our KGB has completely withdrawn from the capital, we have no idea what specific news is coming from there. However, before we left, we only knew that their attitude was still very tough."

Although I tried to persuade him to stay, he just wouldn't let go.

Therefore, retreat is inevitable.

Khrushchev nodded and remained silent for a moment before he asked:

"By the way, have we found out any specific information about what happened in London?"

In April and May, Zhao Mancang provoked Moscow, which set up a tight net, but he simply "disappeared" and did not show up, let alone fall into the trap.

However, the KGB learned that someone in London and Paris was trading rutile.

The transaction in Paris was very rapid, but it only happened once. There has been no news of a second large-scale transaction.

In London, when Zhao Mancang was making a deal with Count Verona, people from Sam Intelligence Agency suddenly appeared, forcing Zhao Mancang to flee in a hurry.

Because the scene was in such a mess, the KGB naturally got wind of this matter.

So Sholokhov ordered them to continue digging deeper, but now it is already June and there is still no further news.

Sholokhov hoped to get some information, or even take advantage of the situation, but unfortunately, this was just his wishful thinking.

Seeing Sholokhov shaking his head and giving a negative answer, Khrushchev was very disappointed and looked helpless.

Why do things always go wrong?
"You KGB, keep investigating and find out who did it."

Khrushchev was about to let the matter slip. After saying this, he looked at the other industrial leader and said,
"Your Ministry of Industry must seize the moment and ensure our personnel quickly develop rutile refining technology, as well as titanium and titanium alloys. These are the most powerful metal materials for the future of aerospace."

If it weren’t for Zhao Mancang, how could they know about titanium alloy?

The news that Moscow was fully committed to promoting the development of titanium alloy-related industries and technologies was quickly intercepted by agents from the SAM Intelligence Agency.

Of course, this is inevitable.

Douglas McKay looked at the information in his hand with a vicious look in his eyes, and he wished he could cut the person who leaked the information into pieces.

Unfortunately, he had never seen Zhao Mancang and didn't know who Zhao Mancang was.

Otherwise, his hatred was so overwhelming that it might even provide Zhao Mancang with a considerable amount of negative experience points.

In the White House office, when Dwight David learned the news, he immediately instructed Douglas and Ovita Strauss to spread the word: Sam will purchase a large amount of rutile at a high price!
Dwight David is bad, and he needs this to drag down Moscow.

Titanium alloy is a very excellent material, and rutile is currently only available in Moscow, so it is very disadvantageous to Sam.

But there is a saying that money makes the world go round. After people in Moscow discover that rutile can bring such high profits, they might really take the risk.

Although rutile and the titanium alloy behind it cannot have any impact on Moscow.

But everything is done step by step. We just need to drag Moscow into the abyss and then find a way to dig a deeper hole.

Moscow's economy is a world away from Sam's.

Therefore, it is necessary to lure Moscow out step by step before pushing Moscow into the abyss.

On the other hand, Count Verona of the British Office VI and Baptiste of the Gallic Directorate-General for External Security soon received news that Sam was buying rutile at a high price, which shocked them both.

So they hurried to contact Zhao Mancang, hoping that he would show up as soon as possible so that they could buy rutile at a high price.

Zhao Mancang, who was far away in the capital, was unaware of the specific changes in the outside world at this time. He was happily taking Lin Huijun to purchase rice dumplings.

In June 1960, on the outskirts of Beijing, in a free trade market for agricultural and sideline products, Zhao Mancang was strolling with the little guy.

Due to the actual drought, our country's economy has fallen into an extremely difficult situation. Agricultural production has dropped significantly, and food stocks have decreased, which has formed a nationwide food crisis.

In order to solve the increasingly serious problem of tight market supply, grain has been requisitioned from many places to support the most difficult areas.

For example, in the capital city, in previous years, at least 2.7 billion jin of grain entered the capital every year, but last year it was only 2.6 billion jin, and this year it will probably be even less.

In addition, with the recent withdrawal of Moscow experts, the pressure to repay debts has suddenly increased.

In order to force us to surrender, Khrushchev took advantage of our difficulties and issued a "debt collection order" equivalent to RMB 5.2 billion.

Therefore, at the Zhengyang Railway Station in Beijing, you can always see large amounts of pork shipped from all over the country, entering the Beijing warehouse, frozen and then sent to Moscow.

There is a director of the supply department in the capital who always stays in the capital to monitor the warehouse. Once the meat is allocated, it must be sent to Moscow first.

Therefore, in order to cope with this situation, a "Several Provisions on Improving Commercial Work (Trial Draft)" clearly proposed that supply and marketing cooperatives, cooperative stores and cooperative groups should be restored, and rural collective markets should be opened.

This is why Zhao Mancang and his friends can now go to the farmers’ market.

In fact, logically speaking, Zhao Mancang brought back so many industrial equipment, fighter jets, etc. from abroad, and there was also a lot of food, so we should not be short of food in our country.

However, in reality, most of the equipment was supplied to the atomic bomb, including three IBM 709 computers and other related equipment. These were very expensive equipment and consumed a lot of financial resources.

The amount of grain imported from Zhao Mancang is actually not that much.

To be honest, it's really just a drop in the bucket.

There is no way. This is a country with an area of ​​9.6 million square kilometers and a population of 662 million. It is really too huge.

The capital has a population of more than 6 million, and needs to consume 2.7 billion kilograms of grain every year. With a population of 662 million across the country, the amount of grain needed is naturally even more terrifying.

"Dad, what are these?"

Lin Huijun was in a very good mood. Holding her father's big hand, she strolled around happily and found everything new and interesting.

For example, she didn't recognize these small round konjacs she saw now, but they looked like they should be edible.

"This is wild taro, comrades, would you like to buy some?"

Before Zhao Mancang could even open his mouth to speak, the rural woman setting up the stall immediately started promoting her products with a smile and enthusiasm.

The opening of the farmers' market is great news for farmers like these.

Because only in this way can they earn some extra subsidies.

Otherwise, how could one support a family solely by relying on work points?

Taro is supposed to be a product of the south and is almost never seen in the north. However, the rural aunt in front of me is from the south judging by her accent, so she was able to find wild taro by chance.

Taro needs to consume a lot of water, otherwise it will not grow big. These taro can grow to the size of a child's fist in June, which is very good.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huijun looked up at her father with anticipation in her eyes.

She was just greedy because her father was rich and had just promised her that she could choose three items and her father would pay for them.

"Comrade, how much is it?" Zhao Mancang squatted down and picked up one of the taro and looked at it with interest.

In the past, the most famous taro was Lipu taro. Many people in Beijing knew about it, but it was probably something that only the rich and powerful could eat. Ordinary people might not be willing to spend money to buy it.

In South China, there is a famous dish that must be served during the New Year called Taro Braised Pork. The raw material is taro, and it is even the highlight.

Many people eat this dish just for the taro.

Zhao Mancang certainly knew about taro, but he didn't know that there were wild taro in the capital.

After confirming with the rural aunt, Zhao Mancang spent fifty cents to buy the taro.

Whether taro tastes good or not depends on the side dishes. For example, steaming taro with braised pork is definitely the most classic combination.

After shopping for a while, Zhao Mancang bought a lot of agricultural and sideline products, but most of them were wild or picked from the wild.

There are also handmade agricultural and sideline products such as brooms and dustpans. The variety is not very rich and the quantity is not large, but they look very practical.

Zhao Mancang returned with a full load and started to get busy after returning to No. 7 Courtyard of Denglai Hutong.

Lin Huijun was also busy cleaning the bamboo leaves, which were essential ingredients for making rice dumplings today.

Lin Wan, who was pregnant and about to give birth, also came to help, but was pushed back by Zhao Mancang.

"You have such a big belly, how can you work? Go and have a rest. If you are really bored, then take a walk in the yard and exercise."

Giving birth is a painful thing. Although Lin Wan has already given birth to one and has some experience, Zhao Mancang still hopes that she can have a smooth life.

After a busy morning, the freshly baked rice dumplings are finally out of the pot.

"I'm delivering some to the two guards standing guard at the gate. They work like this every day, and it's really hard."

After the rice dumplings were out of the pot, Zhao Mancang said with a smile after Lin Wan, Zhang Dongyue, Lin Huijun and others started to taste them.

The taste is very good. After all, Zhao Mancang put two pieces of meat in each zongzi, both of which are pork belly with even fat and lean meat, which is definitely everyone's favorite.

"Dad, let me help you." Upon hearing this, Lin Huijun immediately put down the rice dumplings in her hand and ran over happily.

Lin Wan and Zhang Dongyue looked at the scene in front of them with smiles on their faces.

Since Zhao Mancang came back, Lin Huijun has become much more lively. Although she always sticks to Zhao Mancang and doesn't pay much attention to Xiao Hei, it's better than being depressed all the time, right?
The two guards at the door saw the rice dumplings brought by Zhao Mancang and Lin Huijun and quickly stopped and refused them.

They have regulations and they definitely cannot accept even a single needle or thread from the people.

However, Zhao Mancang smiled and took out his gun license, which contained his identity information.

"Comrades, look at this. We are comrades, right? This is a gift between comrades. How can we ask the masses to take the needle and thread? Take it and eat it quickly. After you finish eating, I will not delay your mission."

Zhao Mancang said so. What else could the two guards do except express their gratitude with a wry smile and accept the rice dumplings?
When Zhao Mancang returned to the dean's office, he also brought back the Zongye Lu.

Littering is not a good habit. The guards still need to be on duty, so Zhao Mancang just did it out of convenience.

After eating the delicious rice dumplings, everyone felt a little full, so in the afternoon they took some of the rice dumplings and went to No. 36, Heizhima Hutong, Nanluoguxiang.

Lin Wan also came along. Since Zhao Mancang was driving his own jeep, it was very convenient to go anywhere.

Before the jeep stopped, all the neighborhood children near the gate cast their attention over to it.

These days, owning a bicycle is considered quite a luxury, and a car is even rarer.

Zhao Mancang didn't care too much about the neighbors' looks. He smiled and helped Lin Wan get out of the car, then carried the rice dumplings into Yard No. 36.

For a moment, all the neighbors inside and outside the yard were completely furious.

Everyone had heard about Zhao Mancang's affairs two years ago. After all, many neighbors in Heizhima Hutong were very familiar with the affairs of Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan.

There were many intelligence organizations at the entrance of the alley, especially intelligence personnel such as Zhu Meiqi, Aunt Lu, and Liu Chun'e from No. 36 Courtyard. They had spread the news of Zhao Mancang's sacrifice throughout the alley and even the entire Nanluoguxiang very early on.

But no one expected that after about a year and a half, Zhao Mancang, who had already sacrificed, actually came back.

Moreover, they came back in a jeep, and Lin Wan was wearing a very loose skirt, so her big belly was not very clear. But now Zhao Mancang's action of helping her get out of the car was definitely very clear, right?
hiss!
Zhao Mancang is not dead?
He also wore a military uniform and came back in a jeep?

Or, is this not Zhao Mancang, but Zhao Mancang's twin brother or older brother?
For a moment, neighbors such as Uncle He, Zhu Meiqi, Liu Chun'e, and Aunt Lu brainstormed a story about Zhao Mancang.

Everyone's pupils were wide open in shock. The scene before them brought them so much shock that even Zhao Mancang and his family had already gone to the backyard, and they still hadn't recovered.

"Brother-in-law!!!"

In the backyard, Lin Shuxian, who was reviewing for the high school entrance examination in front of her window, looked up when she heard the noise. After just one glance, she was stunned and blurted out "brother-in-law".

She couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't expect that it was really her brother-in-law.

The house suddenly became lively and bustling, but the most chaotic place was the yard.

At this time, Lin Shuxian was the only one at home in the Lin family. Her brother Lin Kai and father Lin Guohua were both at work.

The backyard was originally very quiet, but with the arrival of Zhao Mancang and others, it was soon crowded with people.

You have to know that at this time, most people are not at home, they are working or looking for jobs outside.

But even so, full-time women, aunts, and those little kids all ran into the backyard.

Not only did Zhao Mancang come back, but also the jeep, a lot of food that Zhao Mancang brought back, and the fragrant rice dumplings.

When Zhao Mancang and the others passed through the yard just now, they had already left behind the rich aroma of rice dumplings. Children are the most sensitive, and their eyes were wide open.

Just as the yard was filled with people, Lin Shuxian's mouth was already stuffed full of delicious rice dumplings. It was impossible for her to speak. She just wanted to quietly enjoy the joy of being fed.

At this time, Zhao Mancang was in a daze, or rather, checking the system.

Since he came back, there has been a constant stream of news about experience points being credited to his account. Although it's not much, most of them are 10 or 20, making him a completely unqualified tool.

But even so, Zhao Mancang was still very happy.

After all, the experience points for a single time are not much, but there are enough people.

Zhao Mancang used to come to Heizhima Hutong often and was quite familiar with the neighbors nearby.

Therefore, it is reasonable that he has so many experience points now. Otherwise, Zhao Mancang would not have come back here so "high-profile".

In the evening, Zhao Mancang and his family had dinner at the Lin family.

When Lin Kai and Lin Guohua, father and son, returned home from get off work, their faces were filled with shock, but their hearts were filled with joy.

"Sister, why do you always like wearing skirts in recent months? And every time we go to see you, you are always hiding yourself."

Lin Kai said with sudden enlightenment. His sister had been wearing skirts since February to hide the fact that she was pregnant. By April, she had not come to Heizhima Hutong again.

After all, her belly was already very big at this time, and even if she was wearing a skirt, it would still be easily noticed when she walked.

As for saying that she has gained weight, who would believe it?
This is not the later times where fat people are everywhere. In this era, no one can get enough to eat, and many people even starve to death. How can Lin Wan not only eat enough but also gain weight?
Even if she works at the Food Bureau, it's impossible for her to gain weight so quickly, right?

So in order to avoid trouble, Lin Wan rarely went out at that time. She spent most of her time walking back and forth between No. 7 Courtyard of Denglai Hutong and the Grain Bureau, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But now the storm has passed and the Moscow experts have already withdrawn.

Even if there was a supply department director in Beijing watching over the warehouse, or the unit at No. 4 Dongzhimen Beizhong Street, Zhao Mancang was not afraid of them.

It's impossible for Zhao Mancang to be a "rat that hides in the dark" for his entire life, right?

This is impossible!

Especially since Zhao Mancang brought back 20 million ounces of gold from Kimura in Tokyo this time, he and his family will definitely be well protected.

After dinner, Zhao Mancang said to Lin Guohua, Lin Kai and others:
"Father-in-law, brother-in-law, after your sister gives birth, we will move back to Zhongguancun South Street. Then, No. 7 Courtyard of Denglai Hutong will be left to you. You can just leave one room for Wan'er."

Compared with No. 7 Courtyard in Denglai Hutong, Zhao Mancang still prefers the large two-entry courtyard house near the Friendship Hotel on Zhongguancun South Street.

This courtyard house covers an area of ​​1,300 square meters. Although it is located in the suburbs, its location is very good because it is near the Friendship Hotel.

Before the 1980s and 1990s, as long as you were outside the second ring road, you were in the countryside, or the urban-rural fringe.

But the Zhongguancun area is different. There are a large number of universities here, as well as foreign-related institutions such as the Friendship Hotel. So although this place is not in the city, it is actually better than the city.

"Ah? Brother-in-law, this."

"Brother-in-law, we can't accept it. We will just live here. Your house is yours. I can..."

"Mancang, you haven't thought this through."

Lin Guohua's family shook their heads and refused. They did not accept Zhao Mancang's kindness.

Only Zhang Dongyue remained silent, and it was unclear whether she agreed with Zhao Mancang's proposal or not.

However, Zhang Dongyue’s opinion is not important. The opinions of Lin Guohua and Lin Kai, father and son, are the most important.

Seeing that they refused, Zhao Mancang smiled and stopped persuading them.

As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. After Zhao Mancang's sacrifice, Lin Guohua and his son had no intention of occupying Lin Wan's house, and they still lived in the two rooms in Heizhima Hutong.

You know, Zhao Mancang sacrificed himself, leaving only Lin Wan, Zhao Juntao, and Lin Huijun. As for the little girl Zhao Jingrou, she was picked up after Xiao Taozi was born.

There are not many people in the family, but they have two houses, No. 7, Denglai Hutong and the second courtyard of Zhongguancun South Street, with quite a few rooms. If it were the home of Zhao Mancang's ex-wife, it would definitely be occupied by someone else.

But the Lin family is really different. Although Lin Guohua, an elementary school teacher, has a low salary and average social status, he is definitely a man of strong character as a scholar.

The matter was over. That night, Zhao Mancang and his family returned to No. 7 Courtyard of Denglai Hutong, and Zhang Dongyue followed them.

There was no way. Lin Wan was kind-hearted at the time, and with the addition of Xiao Baozi, there were two babies to take care of at the same time. She was also about to give birth, so the house would be even busier.

At that time, Zhao Mancang even thought about hiring someone from outside to help, such as Mei Chunyan.

Mei Chunyan is already sixteen years old this year. Although she is a little short, she is only about 1.46 meters tall, like a child.

But she is definitely the right person because she works efficiently and effectively, and can even be said to be hardworking and willing to work hard.

Besides, she doesn't have a job now. She usually just cleans the yard in Caoyuan Hutong.

Therefore, in two days, Zhao Mancang will go and invite her back.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhao Mancang went out again and went straight to the door of Tong Debin's house at No. 9, Youxiang, Ji'ansuo. After knocking on the door, he went in quickly.

This morning, when he took Lin Huijun out, he deliberately took a detour and left a message for Tong Debin and Wu Xinqi, so they must have received the message, which is why they let Zhao Mancang in at this time.

After some discussion, Zhao Mancang also understood Tong Debin’s needs. After saying "wait", he went out.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mancang took a stroll around the pigeon market at Andingmen before pulling the carriage back to No. 9 Courtyard, Youxiang, Ji'ansuo.

"Comrade, the grouper I brought back this time weighs a full 350 kilograms. Take a look for yourself. The cage is the same size as last time, and one grouper alone takes up so much space."

Zhao Mancang just pulled back a giant grouper, and Tong Debin and Wu Xinqi both widened their eyes.

Although they couldn't see very clearly under the light of the kerosene lamp, it didn't matter. They could touch it with their hands and perceive the giant more clearly.

This giant weighing more than 350 pounds is truly a behemoth.

After inspecting the giant grouper, Tong Debin readily asked Zhao Mancang to select the "antiques".

The former wanted to set a trap for Zhao Mancang, but that was impossible. Zhao Mancang still had enough experience points left. As long as he was unsure about the antique, he would upgrade it.

Therefore, even if Tong Debin himself did not discover the fake, Zhao Mancang had already discovered it.

Although there are countless antiques from ancient times to the present, time is the most ruthless. Many things have been passed down to this day and have either turned into soil or are still buried deep underground.

However, many antiques are not real antiques, but antique-level fakes.

how to say?

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were relatively peaceful times, antiques were quite popular.

But how many antiques are there in the world?
On the contrary, there are quite a few antique dealers. When antiques are popular, naturally many antique dealers directly forge a lot of fake antiques in order to make a profit.

These fake antiques were blatant fakes at the time, and the people who bought them were just fooled.

However, these fake antiques have been passed down to this day and have become real antiques, perhaps even more valuable.

Because there are even fewer fake antiques that have survived to this day.

Zhao Mancang picked and chose, and took away eight more antiques. The remaining part was made up by Tong Debin paying gold.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang has no shortage of RMB cash, so he only needs gold for trading.

Two hundred and sixty thousand yuan in cash. In this day and age, when there are no large consumer goods, this money is destined to remain in Zhao Mancang's hands for many years.

These antiques and gold are not what Zhao Mancang is concerned about. The information about the system experience points arriving is what he is most concerned about.

Zhao Mancang was so happy when he received 499 experience points that he couldn't help grinning.

By the time he returned to No. 7 Denglai Hutong, it was already dawn.

Zhao Mancang is still resting at home today. He does not need to go back to No. 8 Guozi Lane, nor does he need to go to Lingjing Hutong to report work or receive rewards.

While Zhao Mancang stayed at home, leading a happy and peaceful life, Andrei Razov at No. 4 Dongzhimen Beizhong Street was still keeping a close eye on the news from the I-shaped building on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

It's just because Moscow needs him to frequently pass on news from the capital.

As a result, on this day, Andrei Razov received a notice from the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, so he hurried to the I-shaped building.

Half a day later, when he came out of the office in the I-shaped building, he was completely stunned.

Because someone just told him that Beijing will first repay Moscow with 100 million US dollars in gold.

Andrei Razov didn't know whether the capital city had gold worth 100 million US dollars, but even if they did, they couldn't use gold to repay their debts.

The reason why repayment is being made this way now is probably because the capital really has a large amount of gold reserves, otherwise it would definitely not be like this.

In Moscow, in the Kremlin office, after Khrushchev learned of this, he held a meeting overnight.

Someone speculated, "Could it be that a new gold mine has been discovered at the University of Tokyo? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so generous."

"This is impossible!"

The opposing party immediately shook their heads and gave very sufficient reasons:

"You know, we just evacuated those Moscow experts not long ago, and they immediately told us that they would repay 100 million US dollars in gold. What does this mean?"

"This shows that they have chosen to confront Moscow to the end and will not give in. Over the past year or so, they have frequently purchased a lot of equipment from abroad, such as large trucks and generators. We are all aware of this. In other words, they have spent a lot of their gold reserves."

Centrifuges, IBM709 and other high-end advanced equipment have a very high confidentiality level. Of course, the Moscow experts did not know about it, and it was impossible for them to know the existence of these devices.

why?
Let’s not talk about how advanced the IBM709 equipment is, which is so advanced that even Moscow doesn’t have it. Let’s just talk about the uranium enrichment centrifuges. If these devices were known to Moscow experts, Khrushchev would definitely be very upset.

Because this thing is the best equipment for producing uranium 235, the raw material for atomic bombs. There are 235 of them. Once all turned on, they can quickly produce kilograms of uranium , the raw material for atomic bombs.

Therefore, all the Moscow experts knew about were less important equipment such as large trucks and generator sets, and these things would be difficult to hide even if they wanted to.

"When they founded their country in 1949, they were completely impoverished. Even now, their gold reserves are at most two to three million ounces, and no more is possible."

"And they spent so much of their gold reserves on buying food, equipment, etc. How could they possibly still have so much gold reserves?"

"This is gold worth $100 million, equivalent to 2.63 million ounces of gold. How can you ask them to pay so much gold reserves at once?"

"As for the discovery of a large gold mine, that's just a possibility, but we can't rule out other possibilities."

After listening to the opposing side, everyone quieted down, as if this was the most reasonable point.

But since it is not the gold that was previously reserved, where did the 2.63 million ounces of gold that Tokyo University is paying now come from?
Khrushchev and the others racked their brains but couldn't figure out the situation, but now Tokyo University's actions have made them realize more clearly that Tokyo University is unlikely to give in.

Todai is a stubborn donkey who refuses to give in no matter what.

Taking a step back will open up a new world, and it will also allow their people to live better and more comfortably, so why are they unwilling to agree to it?

At the Tianjin Wharf, around 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Mancang arrived on time, ready to trade with Ma Jiugong and others.

After trading some generator equipment and industrial production equipment, Zhao Mancang left with a large amount of goods.

In the Lingguang County warehouse, Zhao Mancang put all the goods away, and as usual, gave instructions to the person in charge to ship out the goods in the warehouse.

But Zhao Mancang didn't expect that the person in charge at this time would hand him a letter, which was a letter that came from Medford across the ocean.

The letter was from Zhao Mancang, who had previously asked the person in charge at Medford to collect relevant information about the North American continent, as well as organized newspapers and mark major events.

Originally, Zhao Mancang didn't care much about this part, but he never expected that the letter actually mentioned the news about rutile.

After a closer look, Zhao Mancang realized that Sam's Club had completely collapsed and was actually openly seeking to purchase rutile from around the world.

And it was purchased at a high price.

My goodness, this is definitely a blatant conspiracy.

In just a moment, Zhao Mancang figured out the logic behind this matter. It turned out that Sam wanted to use this thing to bring down Moscow.

The news about titanium alloy was entirely spread by Zhao Mancang himself, so this news is no longer top secret, but an open secret.

Since it is an open secret, and Sam is using its financial power to acquire it, will Moscow also spend a lot of effort to enter the field of titanium alloy research and development?
As a result, many scientific researchers in Moscow will be distracted by the material titanium alloy.

In addition, because of rutile, many people in Moscow will take risks, and there will inevitably be chaos for a while.

Whether Moscow can accept and handle such a blatant conspiracy is really a big question.

"Haha, this is really good news!"

Zhao Mancang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to send a message to Ma Jiugong and others, and stated that the transaction would be carried out immediately.

Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan, who had just returned to the capital, had just fallen asleep when they were woken up.

"What? Comrade Li wants to see us right now? Didn't we just conclude the deal?"

The questioned telegraph interpreter held up the telegram:
"Yes, leader, we have confirmed it again and again. Comrade Li just sent a message, and the telegram was sent based on the "Chu Yue Tie" by Wang Xizhi that he told us about three and a half hours ago."

hiss!
Because Zhao Mancang and Ma Jiugong changed the code book every time they transmitted telegrams, and each time it was a different code book, only Ma Jiugong, Yuan Yushan and the telegraph interpreter knew it.

So this telegram is real and cannot be fake.

Since that was the case, Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan looked at each other, and had no choice but to get up and run to the Jincheng Wharf to meet Zhao Mancang.

At the dock, beside the barren mountains, and on the coast, it was almost dawn.

When Zhao Mancang saw Ma Jiugong and the others, he immediately said:

"Comrades, time is short and the task is heavy. Let me make it short. I have a purchase list here. I need to purchase 10,000 tons of rutile. The transaction will be in three days. Please tell me if I can complete the transaction and when I can mine 10,000 tons of rutile."

"If you tell me in three days that you can provide 10,000 tons of rutile within a month, I will give you 8,000 ounces of gold per ton. If you can provide 10,000 tons of rutile within two months, I will give you 6,000 ounces of gold per ton."

"The deadline is three months, no waiting after the expiration date!"

hiss!
Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan both gasped. How could this be possible?
They had no idea what rutile was, how to mine it, or how difficult it would be. How could they answer Zhao Mancang?
Not to mention, Zhao Mancang also demanded a reply within three days. Isn't this asking too much?

So the two of them expressed their concerns. Zhao Mancang smiled slightly and said:
"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. You can report this matter directly to your superiors. I believe they will give me a positive response!"

"By the way, I'll give you a piece of information for free. If you want to find rutile, you can go to places like Dafushan in Zaoyang City in the central region and Nianzigou in Dai County in the Central Plains. There will be rutile there."

"Also, this stone is rutile. To make it easier for you to find and confirm, I'll also tell you for free that rutile is actually titanium dioxide. Your experts and professors are undoubtedly well aware of this."

After telling them the news, Zhao Mancang said goodbye to them and left.

As far as this matter is concerned, Zhao Mancang is very happy to help them make money, but whether they can make money or not is not something Zhao Mancang can interfere with.

We have a lot of rutile in our country, and the proven reserves of rutile are about 2.2 million tons.

Although the reserves are not exaggerated, they are actually not small on a global scale.

You should know that the Maple Leaf Country, which is extremely rich in mineral resources, has proven rutile reserves of 15 million tons in later generations. The reserves of Australia are a bit exaggerated, with a full 31 million tons of rutile reserves.

In comparison, our country's rutile reserves are not large, but there is no problem in being self-sufficient.

On the other hand, selling 10,000 tons of rutile at this time can produce tens of millions of ounces of gold, which is absolutely very attractive to the domestic market.

It can be said that selling only 10,000 tons of rutile can greatly alleviate the current financial difficulties in our country.

Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan did not dare to waste any time. They took the rutile and returned to the capital in a hurry and reported the news.
