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

Jiangcheng County Party Committee Meeting Room.

When Deputy County Head Wang entered, there was a stack of documents on the table.

The cover only has four words: Xingxin Mining.

Deputy County Head Wang had a sudden thought.

"Secretary, are the results out?"

Zhou Mingyuan looked up at him.

"Please sit down."

The moment those two words were uttered, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became tense.

The rest of the staff gradually arrived.

Zhou Mingyuan didn't beat around the bush.

"Today we'll only talk about one thing: Jiangcheng Investment's stake in Xingxin Mining."

Everyone instinctively opened the documents.

The first page is the asset list of Xingxin Mining after its restructuring.

The mining, transportation, and construction teams that were acquired by the merger of Dongjiao Gold Mine, Xiling Rare Earth Mine, and Longxin Group.

Acquisition targets for fluorite and lithium mines.

A cooperation framework has been established with Deertech, Duofuduo, and Tianci Materials.

The further they flipped through the pages, the more they couldn't keep their expressions straight.

Deputy County Head Wang was well-prepared.

When I saw the valuation range, I still gasped.

From 4.4 billion to 5 billion.

How long has it been?

Xingxin Mining has grown into the number one enterprise in Jiangcheng County.

Zhou Mingyuan waited until they finished reading before speaking.

"Jiangcheng Investment Group is under construction, and now the opportunity has arrived."

He lightly tapped his finger on the document.

"Xingxin Mining is more than just a mining company. It is the upstream entry point of Jiangcheng's new energy materials industry chain."

The finance bureau chief put down his teacup and asked cautiously, "Secretary, is the county really going to invest?"

"cast."

Zhou Mingyuan answered very decisively.

"The first phase is 300 million."

A few soft gasps were heard in the conference room.

Three hundred million.

This is no small sum for Jiangcheng.

The finance bureau chief looked troubled: "Secretary, the accounts are under considerable pressure. After the Spring Festival, the industrial park, the industrial corridor, and the supporting facilities for De'er Technology all require funding..."

"It's not about emptying the treasury's coffers," Zhou Mingyuan interrupted him. "Jiangcheng Industrial Investment will invest in the form of an industrial fund. The initial funding will be provided by a combination of county-owned state-owned assets platforms, bank credit lines, and special industrial funds."

The director of the Development and Reform Bureau quickly realized: "So, the county will first invest some real money, and then leverage banks and industry funds?"

"right."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded.

"Money should be spent wisely. Jiangcheng was poor in the past not because it lacked resources, but because its resources were not transformed into industries."

"Xingxin Mining has now connected upstream resources, mine operations, and downstream material companies."

"If we don't enter now, and wait until it truly grows into a giant, then Jiangcheng will want to get on board, but the price won't be this high."

That's a very true statement.

Everyone in the meeting room understood.

Deputy County Head Wang also spoke up: "I support it."

"Jiangcheng County's subsequent industrial chain planning is inextricably linked to Xingxin Mining. If Jiangcheng Industrial Investment becomes a shareholder, wouldn't the county's coordination of projects also serve its own industrial platform?"

The finance bureau chief nodded, turned to the last page, and looked at the calculation table.

A string of numbers is laid out there, some of which are just predictions, but enough to make your heart skip a beat.

The director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission looked up: "Secretary, what about the shareholding ratio?"

"The first phase of 300 million yuan will be used to invest in Xingxin Mining based on its pre-investment valuation of 5 billion yuan."

Zhou Mingyuan said.

"The specific proportions should be calculated by a professional organization. We cannot leave any loose ends in this matter."

He looked at the crowd.

"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on this will have their hand chopped off first."

No one in the meeting room dared to speak.

Two hours later.

The initial plan for Jiangcheng Industrial Investment to invest 300 million yuan in Xingxin Mining has been initially implemented at the county level.

A special working group was established, with Lin Wan representing Xingchen Technology and Xingxin Mining in the coordination.

Third-party assessment, auditing, and legal counsel were all involved.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

After leaving the county committee, Zhou Mingyuan instructed his driver to take him directly to the provincial capital.

There were three document bags in the back of the car.

One copy is given to the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, one copy to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and one copy is kept as a backup.

The wind was strong on the road, and a little cold air leaked in through the cracks in the car window.

Secretary Gao sat in the passenger seat and didn't dare to say much the whole way.

Zhou Mingyuan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

When we entered the provincial capital, it was already dark, and half of the lights in the office building of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission were on.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and the building has not yet fully returned to its usual hustle and bustle, but the security guards at the entrance are still checking things very carefully.

When Zhou Mingyuan got out of the car, he straightened the collar of his coat.

The secretary whispered, "Secretary, Director Liu is waiting for you upstairs."

"Um."

The two went upstairs.

The meeting room was small, with a potted green plant with yellowing leaves in the corner and unopened Spring Festival gifts on the coffee table.

Director Liu's real name is Liu Qingshan, and he is the deputy director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

He was in his fifties, with half-gray hair, and wore a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

This wasn't the first time he had dealt with Zhou Mingyuan.

Years ago, when Zhou Mingyuan was still working in the province, the two of them participated in a state-owned enterprise reform project together.

At that time, Zhou Mingyuan was still young, steady in his work, and not talkative.

Zhao Qingshan was deeply impressed by him.

"Xiao Zhou."

Zhao Qingshan smiled as soon as they met.

"You're the top official in Jiangcheng now, and you're still personally coming here to promote your project?"

Zhou Mingyuan laughed as well: "How dare I put on airs in front of Director Zhao?"

Zhao Qingshan pointed to the seat.

"sit."

"Did you bring the documents?"

Zhou Mingyuan pushed the file bag over: "I brought it."

Zhao Qingshan opened the document and flipped through a few pages.

At first, he had a somewhat casual look on his face.

But his expression changed very quickly.

A cooperation framework has been established between Xiling Rare Earth Mine, Xingxin Mining, and Longxin Group, as well as Deer Technology, Duofuduo, and Tianci Materials...

Zhao Qingshan looked up at Zhou Mingyuan and asked in surprise, "When did Jiangcheng manage to assemble such a deck of cards?"

Zhou Mingyuan didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"It wasn't Jiang Cheng who amassed it; it was Chen Mo."

Zhao Qingshan paused for a moment, clearly having heard of Chen Mo as well.

Zhou Mingyuan leaned forward slightly: "Director Zhao, Western Province has abundant resources, but they were too scattered in the past. We have coal, salt lakes, lithium, fluorite, and rare earth elements."

"But most of the time we're just selling raw materials."

"Jiangcheng is now preparing to use Xingxin Mining as the upstream resource platform and Deer Technology as the material receiving point, and introduce Duofuduo and Tianci Materials to open up a production line for fluorite, fluorochemicals, lithium hexafluorophosphate, and electrolytes."

Zhao Qingshan continued flipping through the materials without interrupting.

Zhou Mingyuan continued, "Jiangcheng Investment has prepared an initial investment of 300 million yuan. However, Jiangcheng alone cannot handle the resource integration of the entire western province."

"We hope that the provincial state-owned assets will participate. We can do so through provincial industrial funds, provincial state-owned assets operation platforms, or by directly participating in the next round of capital increase for Xingxin Mining."

Zhao Qingshan leaned back in his chair and slowly took off his glasses.

"You want to turn Xingxin Mining into an upstream resource integration platform for new energy materials in western province?"

"right."

"Privately owned?"

"That's the current situation."

"And then?"

"Market-oriented operation".

Zhou Mingyuan answered very steadily.

"The entry of provincial state-owned assets is an endorsement and a platform for joint expansion, not a means to stifle the enterprises."

Zhao Qingshan looked at him.

"Did you say that, or did Chen Mo say it?"

Zhou Mingyuan smiled.

"They're all the same."

Zhao Qingshan smiled too.

He put his glasses back on and flipped through a few more pages of the document.

"What about the risks?"

"have."

Zhou Mingyuan did not evade the question.

"Xingxin is expanding rapidly, but its management system still needs improvement."

"Secondly, mining mergers and acquisitions are inherently complex, requiring strict scrutiny of mining rights, environmental protection, and production safety."

"Furthermore, there will be no shortage of external competition."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

"East China Mining has already entered the market."

Zhao Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly.

"I've heard about it."

Zhou Mingyuan handed over another document.

"Their board suspended the acquisition of the western province last night."

Zhao Qingshan took it and glanced at it a few times.

The meeting room fell silent.

The air conditioner on the wall was making a slight humming sound.

After a while, Zhao Qingshan looked up.

"Is it also Chen Mogan's?"

Zhou Mingyuan did not give a direct answer.

"It's normal for financial institutions to reassess the risks of Huadong Mining's rapid expansion."

Zhao Qingshan glanced at him: "You're becoming more and more mature in your speech."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled but remained silent.

Zhao Qingshan stacked the two documents together.

"I personally agree with the direction this is heading."

"But the provincial state-owned assets department can't make decisions on its own. It also needs to work with the provincial development and reform commission, industry and information technology department, natural resources department, and financial regulator to make a joint assessment."

"Especially the positioning of the resource integration platform should not be decided solely by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded.

"I see."

"Leave the information."

Zhao Qingshan pressed down on the document with his hand.

"I'll communicate internally first."

"If the direction is right, provincial industrial funds can consider participating."

"The provincial state-owned assets operation platform can also study the next round of capital increase."

"But there's one thing."

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan: "When state-owned assets are involved, they won't just be used for financial investment."

"That's natural."

"That's good."

Zhao Qingshan stood up.

"Go back and wait for news."

Zhou Mingyuan also stood up: "Director Zhao, this is a rare opportunity, and the window of opportunity won't last long."

Zhao Qingshan looked at him, and after a moment he let out a long laugh.

"You, Xiao Zhou, are still the same as before. Polite with your words, but demanding with your actions."

……

Three days later, the provincial government's approval was granted in principle.

Support Jiangcheng County in exploring the construction of an upstream resource integration platform for new energy materials, with Xingxin Mining as the core, and actively support the pilot work of resource-based industry transformation.

The document was short and the wording was very cautious.

Although it doesn't directly mention the provincial government's support.

But when Zhou Mingyuan received the copy, he found a sentence at the end.

"Relevant departments are requested to actively support the pilot project for the transformation of resource-based industries in Jiangcheng County."

He knew that this sentence wouldn't appear in the document out of thin air.

Standing to the side, Deputy County Head Wang asked somewhat nervously, "Secretary, is this considered a pass?"

Zhou Mingyuan closed the file.

"It's like the door's open now."

"That Xingxin Mining..."

"Notify Lin Wan."

Zhou Mingyuan got up and walked to the window.

"Xingxin Mining's capital increase plan has been officially launched."

He paused.

"Also, keep the news within a small circle. Don't spread it before the province officially announces it."

Deputy County Head Wang nodded: "Understood."

Zhou Mingyuan did not speak again.

He looked at the county town in the distance.

This small town, where the Spring Festival has just passed, seems to be still asleep.

But an even bigger net has already been quietly cast.

The mine owners in Beihe are unaware of this.

Huadong Mining is unaware of this either.

From this moment on, they were no longer facing just Xingxin Mining.
