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

Liu Xin spent less than four hours at the Beihe County Police Station. When he came out, he still had half a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The third brother followed behind, carrying a plastic basket containing a cell phone and a belt, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Mr. Liu, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"That's bullshit."

Liu Xin tucked the cigarette behind his ear and glanced back at the police station gate.

"Just you wait, this isn't over yet."

After holding it in for a while, the third brother finally cursed, "If this happened in Jiangcheng, I'd fucking..."

Liu Xin slapped his bald head, interrupting the third brother: "Even in Jiangcheng, we have to be reasonable. We've followed President Chen, so we can't go back to the old ways."

The third brother paused for a moment, then rubbed his head: "So, shall we continue blocking the door and trying to reason with them?"

"What's the point of talking anymore!"

Liu Xin took out a lighter and lit a cigarette with a click.

"Go back to sleep first."

Third brother: "..."

He suspected that Mr. Liu had been locked up for four hours and had developed health problems.

However, he didn't dare to say anything and told his brothers to get in the car.

The lawyer who had come earlier had already left with the video materials and backups of the scene. Before leaving, the cameraman even took a picture of the sign at the entrance of the police station.

Five vans drove along the mountain road of Beihe towards Jiangcheng.

The car smelled of smoke, sweat, and the grilled sausages that Lao San had just bought in front of the police station.

Liu Xin's head was throbbing from the fumes, so she kicked the seat in front of her.

"Open the window a crack."

The third brother quickly rolled down the car window a little.

A cold wind blew in.

Liu Xin squinted as he smoked, but he was anything but relaxed.

He said he was going back to sleep, but when it came to actually sleeping, he couldn't fall asleep.

He was assaulted and his documents were stolen. When he led a group to demand an explanation, they were taken away by the Beihe police.

Having spent half his life in the mining industry, Liu Xin had a pretty good grasp of the current situation. The East China Mining Company behind that General Manager Gao was likely Xingxin's biggest enemy this time.

My phone rang just after the car passed the Beihe toll station.

When Lin Wan called, Liu Xin immediately sat up straight and stubbed out his cigarette in the cap of a mineral water bottle.

"President Lin."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wan's voice came through: "President Liu, come to Xingxin Mining's office after you return to Jiangcheng."

Liu Xin's heart skipped a beat.

"Is General Manager Chen here?"

"Mr. Chen is not here."

Lin Wan paused for a moment.

"Vice County Head Wang is here."

Liu Xin's eyelids twitched.

"I'll be right there."

……

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

The lights were still on in Xingxin Mining's office.

Liu Xin pushed open the conference room door.

Deputy County Head Wang sat on one side of the long table, the tea in front of him had gone cold.

Lin Wan sat opposite him, a thin document in front of her, her expression calm.

"County Chief Wang, General Manager Lin."

After Liu Xin entered the room, the fierce look on her face subsided considerably.

Deputy County Head Wang glanced at him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not missing any limbs.

"Mr. Liu, you should really tone down your temper."

Liu Xin grinned: "County Chief Wang, I really didn't lay a hand on anyone today. We brought a lawyer with us to reason with them."

Deputy County Head Wang didn't take his joke seriously.

He picked up the teacup, found the tea was cold, and put it back.

"There's something going on in the provincial capital."

The meeting room fell silent.

Deputy County Head Wang lowered his voice: "Director Liao from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission mentioned in an internal meeting today that Huadong Mining is a key foreign investment entity that the province is focusing on recently. He said that all localities should optimize the business environment and support leading enterprises to participate in the integration of mineral resources in western provinces."

Liu Xin's brows furrowed sharply.

"Director Liao?"

He wasn't familiar with the provincial capital's system, but anyone who could make Deputy County Head Wang make a special trip must be someone important.

Lin Wan added softly, "Liao Changping, the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission in charge of industrial investment."

Liu Xin's expression darkened further.

Deputy County Head Wang continued, "The meeting did not name Xingxin Mining by name, but it mentioned that some local companies have used crude methods in the process of acquiring resources, which can easily lead to local conflicts."

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Xin's voice suddenly rose.

"Our people were attacked, our data was stolen, and now it's our fault for using crude methods?"

Deputy County Head Wang looked at him and said, "That's why I came here in person."

His tone became more serious.

"This isn't the county's intention. Secretary Zhou is aware of the situation. But now someone higher up is backing Huadong Mining, and Beihe isn't Jiangcheng's territory."

"Xingxin Mining should keep a low profile for the next few days."

Liu Xin's lips moved, but she swallowed her words back.

Deputy County Head Wang looked at Lin Wan: "President Lin, what about President Chen...?"

"I will convey your message." Lin Wan nodded. "Xingxin Mining will protect its rights in accordance with the law and will not escalate the conflict."

Upon hearing this, Deputy County Head Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and patted Liu Xin on the shoulder.

"Mr. Liu, please bear with it."

Liu Xin twitched the corner of her mouth.

"I may not have any other skills, but I've never really learned how to swallow my pride."

Deputy County Head Wang was speechless for a moment, but didn't know what to say.

Before leaving, he turned back and reminded him, "Don't spread this around. The province's stance isn't completely finalized yet; don't give anyone a handle to use against us."

"clear."

Lin Wan got up and saw him out.

A few minutes later, the conference room door closed again.

Liu Xin finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"President Lin, what exactly did President Chen say?"

Lin Wan did not answer immediately.

She walked to the water dispenser and got another cup of hot water.

"President Chen, please don't worry."

"Relax?"

Liu Xin stood up anxiously: "They're practically shitting on our necks, and people from the provincial government are even handing them toilet paper. How can I relax?"

Lin Wan looked up at him, and Liu Xin immediately shut up.

He respected Chen Mo, but dared not be too presumptuous with Lin Wan.

This woman usually speaks gently, but when it really comes down to it, she doesn't give face to anyone except Chen Mo.

"Mr. Liu."

Lin Wan placed the paper cup in front of him.

"Just wait patiently, Mr. Chen said there will be results soon."

Liu Xin stared at the glass of water for a long time without moving it. Then he picked up the paper cup and drank it down in one gulp.

"Okay, I trust Mr. Chen. But Mr. Lin, could you please pass on a message for me?"

Lin Wan looked at him.

Liu Xin crushed the paper cup and threw it into the trash can.

"Wherever Mr. Chen needs me, Liu Xin will do as he commands."

Lin Wan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"I will convey this message verbatim."

……

For the next three days, Xingxin Mining was unusually quiet.

Liu Xin did not appear, but the lawyer's letter was sent out according to procedure.

The injured employee was arranged to undergo a follow-up examination at a hospital in the provincial capital, and the company provided an additional consolation payment.

On the other side of the Beihe River, the traces of the blockade at the entrance of Hongtai Mining were quickly washed away.

The white banner with black lettering seemed to have never appeared.

Cao Guosheng initially had people keep an eye on the Jiangcheng direction.

A day later, he relaxed.

Two days later, he began taking Gao Peng to meet the mine owner.

Three days later, he was already able to laugh, brag, and mock Liu Xin at the dinner table.

Huadong Mining also suddenly accelerated its actions, with its investment department contacting more than ten mining companies in three days.

The four companies signed an exclusive negotiation agreement.

Both companies received the deposit.

Several other companies that were originally conducting due diligence with Xingxin Mining have now become vague in their statements.

Huadong Mining alone paid 500 million yuan in deposits.

Once the money was in the account, the winds of change in the Beihe mining circle immediately shifted.

Mine owners are very pragmatic; they'll drink with whoever pays them quickly and has the most influence.

As for Xingxin Mining?

Some people say it's scared.

Some say that the young boss behind it is still too inexperienced.

Some say that Huadong Mining has the support of provincial leaders, so Xingxin Mining dares not touch it.

The story started to sound more and more like the truth.

Three days later, on the night of the same day.

The provincial capital, Yinhu Club.

Shen Zhennan sat in the main seat, with a cigar box beside him.

Gao Peng sat to his right, while Cao Guosheng sat a little further away.

Zhao Qiming was also there.

He's in a good mood tonight.

They were so happy that they even drank two more glasses of wine than usual.

"Mr. Shen, I must thank you."

Zhao Qiming stood up, holding his cup, a warm smile on his face.

"These past few days have truly opened the eyes of the Beihe mining community. What does it mean to be a large corporation? What does it mean to have real capital strength? With your intervention, those small local mining companies immediately realized the difference."

Shen Zhennan smiled but did not immediately raise his glass.

Zhao Qiming continued, "At Xingxin Mining, didn't Liu Xin go and act tough? Now he's quiet, isn't he?"

Cao Guosheng immediately chimed in, "Mr. Zhao is right."

He raised his glass: "Liu Xin may be a big shot in Jiangcheng, but in Beihe, his old-fashioned tactics are only good for scaring small business owners."

"When he really runs into a regular army like East China Mining, he can only admit defeat."

Several mine owners laughed along.

Someone chimed in, "President Cao has set a great example for our Beihe mining community this time."

"That's right. Anyone from outside who wants to get in has to see who's in charge of things in Beihe."

"President Shen's arrival is timely. From now on, with Huadong Mining as our partner, our path will be secure."

The atmosphere inside the private room was lively.

The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

After Zhao Qiming sat down, he glanced at Cao Guosheng, and the two understood each other without saying a word.

Zhao Qiming finally felt a little better, but what surprised him was that Governor Liang did not show up this time.

Could it be that Xingxin Mining and Governor Liang's relationship is not that close?

If that's the case, then he can take advantage of Huadong Mining's influence to make some good plans.

Just as Zhao Qiming's mind was racing.

Gao Peng also stood up to offer a toast, feeling much more relaxed tonight.

Negotiations with several mines in Beihe went very smoothly.

Hongtai has basically secured the deal, Guangyuan is softening its stance, and as long as the funds for the remaining companies are in place, formal agreements can be reached after the Spring Festival.

This round of payments, totaling 500 million yuan in deposits, seems a bit excessive.

But the effect was immediate.

The mine owners have already started lining up.

As long as the Beihe mining belt is secured, Huadong Mining will have taken its first step firmly in the western province.

Shen Zhennan then slowly picked up his wine glass.

The private room fell silent instantly.

"Western Province has abundant resources, but in the past they were too scattered, with everyone doing their own thing. There was a lack of capital, management, and real industrial planning."

"East China Mining came to the western province not to seize one or two small mines."

He looked at several mine owners.

What we need to do is integrate resources.

The group nodded immediately.

"President Shen has a broad vision."

"This is how big corporations do things."

"In the future, we will still need General Manager Shen to lead us forward in these mines in Beihe."

Cao Guosheng smiled the most enthusiastically.

He knew he had made the right bet this time.

As long as Beihe can latch onto Shen Zhennan, it will never be the same Beihe it used to be.

Just then, Gao Peng's phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

He glanced down at it, and his smile vanished.

The text message came from a financing advisor in Hong Kong.

The content consists of only one line.

Mr. Gao, the USD mezzanine financing project has been asked to supplement its risk disclosure, and the investment committee's signing has been postponed. Please contact us as soon as possible.

Gao Peng stared at the screen for two seconds, his fingers unconsciously tightening.

The wine in the glass sloshed, spilling a few drops onto the white tablecloth.

Cao Guosheng, who was sitting nearby, noticed his expression.

"Mr. Gao, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Gao Peng confiscated the phone.

Just as he finished speaking, Shen Zhennan's phone rang.

Private number.

Not many people know this number.

The laughter in the private room gradually subsided.

Shen Zhennan glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.

He picked up his phone, got up, and walked to the terrace outside the private room.

As soon as the door opened, a cold breeze rushed in, and the smell of alcohol dissipated a little.

On the terrace.

Shen Zhennan answered the phone.

"explain."

On the other end of the phone was the CFO of Huadong Mining.

His voice trembled slightly: "Mr. Shen, there's a problem with the refinancing of that dollar bond in Hong Kong."
