Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

Let's go back a few days.

Before the Spring Festival, at the Yinhu Club in the provincial capital.

A high-end private club that does not have a sign publicly displayed is located on a hillside in the southern suburbs of the provincial capital.

From the outside, they look like just a few unassuming Chinese-style courtyards, but inside they are a completely different world.

Hot springs, tea rooms, cigar rooms, private restaurants, massage parlors... everything is available.

Those who can enter and leave this place are either rich or noble.

8 PM.

There were already more than a dozen people seated in the 888 private room of the club.

These people include business owners in the provincial capital who trade in minerals, heads of energy transportation companies, and several second-generation individuals who have long been involved in the development and reform, state-owned assets, and mining circles.

Zhao Qiming was among them.

Compared to his arrogant and domineering behavior during his last visit to Jiangcheng, he was noticeably more low-key this time.

Ever since Zhao Jianheng personally took him to the eastern suburbs mining area to apologize, he has become a laughing stock in the provincial capital's social circles.

They offered 100 million yuan for a 30% stake in Xingxin Mining, but ended up being forced to apologize at their doorstep.

Although this matter did not spread widely, it could not be kept secret within the relevant circles in the provincial capital.

On the surface, Zhao Qiming pretended that nothing had happened, but in his heart he already hated Xingxin Mining to the core, and even harbored resentment towards his own father.

However, with Governor Liang's presence as a deterrent, he dared not make any moves in the short term.

So Zhao Qiming endured it all during this time.

The real protagonists of tonight's gathering are not the bosses from the provincial capital, nor are they the second generation of wealthy and powerful individuals.

It was the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.

The man was in his forties, tall, wearing a dark gray cashmere sweater and a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist; he had a wealthy appearance.

His name is Shen Zhennan, chairman of Huadong Mining Group.

In recent years, Shen Zhennan has been enjoying great success in the country's mining industry.

He has dabbled in coal mines, non-ferrous metals, lithium mines, fluorite, and rare earth peripheral assets.

It is said that it is backed by several large funds and the Southern Capital Consortium.

On the surface, the purpose of this trip to Xi'an Province was to inspect mineral projects, but in reality, it was to prepare for a large-scale acquisition of resource mining rights in Xi'an Province.

The western province is rich in mineral resources.

However, many mining rights are scattered among local private business owners, who operate in an extensive manner and are short of funds, making it a good opportunity for external capital to enter the market and integrate them.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the private room gradually warmed up.

A transportation business owner raised his glass and said with a smile, "President Shen's visit to west Province has truly broadened the horizons of us local businesses. If Huadong Mining really enters the market, the landscape of Xi Province's mining industry will likely change."

Shen Zhennan smiled and said, "The change in the overall situation wasn't just my doing. Resource integration was an inevitable trend."

"In the past, local small mine owners operated independently, lacked funds, had extensive management, and failed to keep up with safety and environmental protection."

"The future of the mining industry must be characterized by large-scale operations, capitalization, and industrial chain development."

He spoke softly, but everyone in the private room listened intently.

Because they knew that Shen Zhennan wasn't there to chat idly; he really came with money.

"Mr. Shen is absolutely right," a mining boss immediately chimed in. "What our western province lacks is a large, powerful platform like East China Mining."

Shen Zhennan picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "I'm here mainly to look at three types of resources: fluorite, lithium, and some rare metal associated minerals. I'll consider any that have reasonable prices, clear mining rights, and smooth local relations."

Upon hearing this, many people in the private room lit up with excitement.

Fluorite and lithium ore.

These are precisely the two hottest areas in the mining industry of western province recently.

Especially fluorite.

In previous years, many people complained that its profits were not high enough and that mining and management were troublesome.

However, recently, with the rise of the concepts of fluorochemicals and new energy materials, the price of fluorite ore has begun to quietly rise.

Just then, Zhao Qiming suddenly put down his wine glass and said with a half-smile, "President Shen wants to acquire fluorite and lithium ore, I'm afraid we'd better hurry."

Shen Zhennan looked at him, seemingly not remembering who this young man was: "Young man, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhao Qiming suppressed his anger and then pretended to sigh, saying, "Recently, it's not just President Shen's family in west Province keeping an eye on these mines. Xingxin Mining has emerged in Jiangcheng County and is making a lot of moves."

"During the period before the Lunar New Year, we sent out several teams to make inquiries about fluorite and lithium mines. I heard that a local company in Jiangcheng called Xingchen Technology is behind it. They have a lot of money and are in a hurry to make a move."

The other owners in the private room chimed in.

"Yes, I've heard about it too."

"Xingxin's people have indeed been traveling around a lot lately."

"They also want to bundle together several small mines that are struggling financially."

"Quite an appetite."

Shen Zhennan's originally indifferent expression finally changed.

"Xingxin Mining? Never heard of it."

Zhao Qiming sneered inwardly. It's good that you haven't heard of it. What if you heard of it and didn't dare to take action?

"I wasn't really famous before."

Zhao Qiming's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"But they've been lucky lately. A gold mine was discovered in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng. And they somehow got hold of a rare earth mine."

"Now that we have funding, resources, and local support, we naturally want to take this opportunity to expand outwards."

"I heard they're also planning to develop a fluorochemical and new energy materials industry chain in Jiangcheng."

"So they definitely won't let go of fluorite and lithium ore."

Shen Zhennan frowned.

These keywords, strung together, were enough to make him take them seriously.

Huadong Mining's entry into the western province was precisely to seize the initiative in resource integration.

If a new player with ample funding and strong local support suddenly emerges, it will be a serious matter and could even affect the entire East China strategy.

"Who are their shareholders?" Shen Zhennan asked.

Zhao Qiming's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew, of course, who was behind Chen Mo, but he wasn't there to play the good guy.

"I don't know the specifics," Zhao Qiming said vaguely. "I heard he's a young man who made some money by speculating in stocks and has close ties with the Jiangcheng County government."

"Young man?" Shen Zhennan smiled, a hint of disdain on his face.

For a high-ranking state-owned enterprise leader like him, he has seen far too many so-called child prodigies.

Having made some money in the bull market, he felt he could run rampant in the real economy.

But mining is not the stock market.

Having a few numbers in your account doesn't guarantee you can smoothly manage mining rights, various relationships, and upstream and downstream operations.

"Having money is a good thing," Shen Zhennan said calmly, "but in the resource industry, money alone is not enough. These mines in west Province are not something that just anyone can buy."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room became subtly tense.

Just then, a man sitting in the corner put down his wine glass and slowly said, "President Shen, among the projects Xingxin has recently been in contact with, there is one in Beihe, Hongtai Mining."

The speaker was in his early forties, with dark skin, a thick neck, and a ruthless look in his eyes and brows, a look that suggested he had spent many years in the mining area.

Cao Guosheng.

One of the most influential people in the local mining circle of Beihe County.

He controlled two small mining companies and, through transportation teams, labor teams, and equipment leasing, infiltrated most of the mining projects in Beihe.

Although Hongtai Mining does not belong to him, the transportation, blasting and labor services around Hongtai have always been inseparable from him.

Shen Zhennan looked at Cao Guosheng.

"Are you acquainted with Hongtai?"

"Cooked".

Cao Guosheng grinned.

"There's no mine in Beihe that I'm not familiar with."

"Xingxin's people have been in contact with Hongtai's boss these past two days, probably hoping to sign a letter of intent before the end of the year."

"If Mr. Shen is interested in this, I can make sure they don't sign the contract."

A hint of pleasure flashed in Zhao Qiming's eyes.

coming.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

Shen Zhennan did not speak immediately, but just looked at Cao Guosheng.

Cao Guosheng sat up straight, his tone becoming even more resolute.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I won't do anything reckless. I'm just giving them a heads-up, letting Xingxin know that when they come to Beihe to get mines, they can't just bring money; they also need to learn the rules first."

A few low laughs echoed from inside the private room.

Someone raised their glass.

"Old Cao is absolutely right."

"The matter of Beihe really requires Lao Cao to step in."

Shen Zhennan finally smiled and said, "Okay, but you need to be careful not to make things too ugly."

"Understood." Cao Guosheng picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will definitely handle it well. It will also set an example for the mining industry in our western province."

Shen Zhennan picked up his teacup and clinked it against his from a distance.

Although it's just a teacup.

But in Cao Guosheng's eyes, this was already an endorsement.

His heart immediately warmed.

If he can take this opportunity to connect with Huadong Mining Group, his small business in Beihe might multiply several times over in the future.

As for Xingxin Mining?

A new company from Jiangcheng.

Even if they have some money behind them, so what?

Beihe is not Jiangcheng.

It's not a place they can come to whenever they want.

The drinking session continued.

Zhao Qiming leaned back in his chair, slowly swirling the wine in his glass.

He didn't say another word.

Zhao Qiming knew that the power behind President Shen was not something that the provincial party committee of west Province could shake, and even if a real conflict broke out, it was uncertain whether Liang Wenyuan would intervene again.

Chen Mo, Lin Wan, Xingxin Mining.

Last time in Jiangcheng, you made me lose face completely.

This time, I'll see if you can still be so tough.

……

Two days later.

Beihe County.

A business hotel near Hongtai Mining.

Xingxin Mining Resources Acquisition Team has just concluded its third round of negotiations with Hongtai Mine Owner.

The deputy general manager leading the team and two legal counsel returned to their room, but before they could even organize the documents, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Seven or eight strange men rushed in.

The leader, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at the file folder on the table and sneered:

"Xingxin Mining, right?"

"I heard you guys have been really into mining in Beihe lately?"

The vice president in charge of the team's expression changed.

"Who are you people?"

"take it easy."

The man walked to the table and picked up the file bag.

"Our General Manager Cao asked me to pass on a message to you."

"The mines of Beihe are not something that just anyone can buy."

"This is just a reminder."

The words fell.

The fist had already slammed down hard.

Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of tables and chairs overturning and muffled groans of pain.

Half an hour later.

The three injured Xingxin employees were taken to the hospital.

The briefcase containing Hongtai Mining's negotiation materials and due diligence documents was taken away directly by the other party.
