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

At 11:00 AM, in Conference Room No. 3 of the Yingbin Building.

For the first time ever, the mine owners of Beihe County gathered together early.

The people, who were usually rough and rugged, were now dressed in various styles, including oversized suits, leather jackets with lapel collars, and some even had yellow mud still clinging to their shoes from the mine, which they were secretly wiping off with tissues.

Huadong Mining suddenly halted the acquisition, but the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission appeared out of nowhere. This strange turn of events caused whispers and unease among the audience.

"Have you heard? Liu Xin from Xingxin Mining is here today too."

"Wasn't he just taken away by the police station a few days ago? Isn't he going to cause a huge scene today?"

The chatter abruptly ceased with the sound of hurried footsteps at the door.

The leadership team from Beihe County was the first to enter, followed by Director Shao of the Capital Operation Department of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

He had a square face and a stern expression. Behind him were key figures from provincial industrial funds, the Mineral Rights Division of the Department of Natural Resources, and financial regulatory departments.

This display of power immediately made the mine owners in the audience stand up straight, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Liu Xin was the last one to come in.

Today he was wearing a black jacket, dark trousers, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. He even had some hair wax on his hair.

They look all respectable.

The third brother followed behind, holding documents in his hands, his expression serious.

Cao Guosheng's face darkened immediately upon seeing Liu Xin.

Liu Xin acted as if he didn't see him, and greeted several familiar mine owners with a smile.

"Mr. Qian, you look great! Have you been sleeping well lately?"

Mr. Qian, the owner of Guangyuan Mining, stiffened.

"Mr. Liu is joking."

"Mr. Hu is here too?"

Liu Xin turned to look at Hu Wancheng of Hongtai Mining.

"The place was too busy the other day, so I didn't have a chance to have tea with you. I'll make up for it today."

Hu Wancheng's lips twitched.

"Mr. Liu, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Don't rush."

Liu Xin patted him on the shoulder.

"With leaders present today, let's take our time."

As soon as the words "speak slowly" were uttered, many people in the conference room lowered their heads.

Cao Guosheng's face grew even uglier.

After Director Shao sat down, there wasn't much small talk.

"Today's main focus is on research. The province is currently studying the integration of upstream resources for new energy materials."

"Beihe County has concentrated fluorite resources and a large number of mining companies, making it a typical case."

He speaks very steadily.

"Everyone can talk. Talk about resources, difficulties, and cooperation intentions."

The leaders of Beihe County gave a report first.

There are many mines in Beihe, but they are also scattered, small-scale, and disorganized.

After listening, Director Shao only made a few notes in his notebook.

Then, he looked up at Liu Xin and said, "Mr. Liu, Xingxin Mining has also recently been in contact with projects in Beihe. What are your thoughts on this?"

All eyes in the conference room instantly fell on Liu Xin.

Liu Xin cleared her throat, and the third brother immediately handed over the documents.

"Director Shao, esteemed leaders, and bosses. I, Liu Xin, am not very educated, but I speak my mind."

"The Beihe mineral belt is a good resource. It has good fluorite reserves and a good location, not far from Jiangcheng's future fluorochemical base."

"But the problems are also obvious: the companies are too scattered. Some mine owners just want to sell at a good price, some mining licenses are not yet properly sorted out, and more importantly, some people like to use underworld methods to solve business problems."

After the last sentence was spoken, the conference room fell silent for a moment.

Cao Guosheng's face turned ashen.

Liu Xin didn't look at him and continued, "Xingxin Mining came to Beihe not to snatch mines at low prices. We are willing to negotiate at market prices, willing to bear the rectification costs, and willing to include the mines in the long-term supply system."

"In Jiangcheng, Deertech, Duofuduo, and Tianci Materials are already advancing their projects."

"Fluorite isn't just something you mine and sell. It needs to be used in fluorochemicals, lithium battery materials, and become a complete industry chain."

As he said this, he turned a page of documents: "Now, Xingxin Mining is backed not only by Xingchen Technology. Jiangcheng Investment has already started its first phase of investment of 300 million yuan, and the provincial state-owned assets department is also in preliminary discussions with us."

The meeting room fell completely silent after those words were spoken.

Several mine owners looked up abruptly. Hu Wancheng dropped his pen on the table, and Guangyuan Qian, the mine owner, changed his expression.

Cao Guosheng stared intently at Liu Xin.

He finally understood.

Why did East China Mining suddenly stop?

Why did the provincial state-owned assets investigation team suddenly come to Beihe?

Director Shao tapped the table at the opportune moment, concluding: "The direction General Manager Liu mentioned is basically consistent with the province's approach. Resource integration is meant to serve the industrial chain and prevent malicious speculation by high-leverage capital. The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will focus on and support Xingxin Mining's integration plan going forward."

Seeing the mine owners looking extremely uneasy and flustered.

Liu Xin felt comfortable in every pore of her body.

Cool!

So cool!

"Director Shao!" Cao Guosheng finally couldn't hold back any longer, standing up through gritted teeth. "We have no objection to the province supporting the integration, but there has to be fair competition, right? Just because Xingxin has Jiangcheng connections doesn't mean we can push everyone into their fold!"

Upon hearing this, many people lowered their heads.

Cao Guosheng was still unconvinced.

Liu Xin smiled; that was exactly what he was waiting for.

"Mr. Cao, you're right."

He turned to look at Director Shao.

"Boss, I also agree with fairness."

"Whoever offers a reasonable price, has strong rectification capabilities, a good industrial chain, and clear sources of funding will be supported."

"Don't resort to violence or stealing information. And don't sign a deposit today, get stuck with financing tomorrow, and leave the mine owner waiting the day after."

Someone in the conference room couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Liu Xin, stop being sarcastic!" Cao Guosheng completely lost control.

"Enough," Director Shao interrupted coldly, turning his gaze to Cao Guosheng. "Fairness is predicated on legality and compliance. If any local authorities engage in malicious acts such as violently obstructing business negotiations, forcibly seizing documents, or interfering with business operations, the province will not tolerate it!"

Cao Guosheng felt as if his throat was blocked.

He suddenly realized that today's meeting was not an ordinary research trip from the very beginning.

The meeting ended at 12:30.

Before Cao Guosheng could even catch his breath, the mine owners who had just been following his lead had already swarmed around Liu Xin like a tidal wave.

"Mr. Liu, regarding the Guangyuan matter, it was something I didn't consider carefully." Boss Qian's smile was a little dry. "Are you free this afternoon? Shall we talk again?"

Hu Wancheng squeezed in as well: "President Liu, Hongtai has always been willing to communicate with Xingxin. The misunderstanding a few days ago was all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Looking at this group of opportunists who were arrogant at first but obsequious later, Liu Xin just patted Hu Wancheng's cheek with a forced smile: "Mr. Hu, which part is a misunderstanding? Don't worry, I said we'll settle it slowly."

Hu Wancheng's face stiffened.

"this……"

Cao Guosheng stood not far away, his face gradually darkening.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the conference room.

The door was pushed open, and several uniformed police officers walked in, followed by two middle-aged men in dark jackets.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

The mine owners who had just been talking to Liu Xin almost simultaneously took a half step back to the side.

Cao Guosheng's heart skipped a beat.

The lead policeman glanced at the materials in his hand and walked straight up to Cao Guosheng.

"Cao Guosheng?"

Cao Guosheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

"I am. What are you doing here...?"

"We are the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Changhu City Public Security Bureau."

The police officer showed his identification.

"You are suspected of organizing people to beat others, seizing business information, interfering with the normal operation of enterprises, and multiple cases of mining project contract fraud and illegal mining."

"Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

"You must have made a mistake?"

Cao Guosheng panicked completely and subconsciously looked to the county leaders in the seats for help, but the leaders who usually treated him like brothers were all looking up at the sky, avoiding him like the plague.

Hu Wancheng, standing next to him, wished he could stick himself into a crack in the wall.

"I didn't hit anyone."

Cao Guosheng raised his voice.

"Liu Xin, you motherfucker..."

Before he could finish his rant, a discipline inspection cadre standing nearby said, "Cao Guosheng, watch your words and actions."

Cao Guosheng then noticed that the other person was wearing a work badge on his chest.

The man in the dark jacket said, "Cao Guosheng, I'm from the Discipline Inspection Commission of Changhu City. I advise you to cooperate; your lead is being directly supervised by higher authorities."

Changhu City Discipline Inspection Commission! Municipal Public Security Bureau Economic Investigation Department!

Cao Guosheng's mind went blank for a second, and he completely collapsed.

As he was being led out the door with his hands tied behind his back, he caught a glimpse of Director Ma, who had arrogantly detained Liu Xin at the entrance of Hongtai Mining a few days earlier, standing at the end of the corridor. He was ashen-faced, his police equipment had been removed from his waist, and two municipal bureau inspectors were standing beside him.

Liu Xin stood in the crowd with a mocking expression on her face.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the air in the conference room seemed to have been sucked away.

Several mine owners even slowed their breathing.

Director Shao picked up his teacup and blew on the tea leaves.

He didn't look in the direction Cao Guosheng left, but said calmly, "We were just talking about legality and compliance. It seems that Changhu City is acting quickly as well."

A deputy county head in Beihe County, sweating profusely, nodded hurriedly.

"The city has always attached great importance to the chaos in the mining sector."

He himself felt guilty about saying that.

That morning, the Changhu City Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection launched a joint operation.

A surprise inspection of the mining sector was launched simultaneously in Beihe County.

Hongtai Mining.

Several affiliated companies controlled by Cao Guosheng.

And the police station that responded to the call that day.

All were investigated.

The video footage, police reports, injury assessments, and a list of stolen documents previously submitted by Xingxin Mining were accepted by the Municipal Public Security Bureau as important evidence.

The video footage from the entrance of Hongtai Mining finally came in handy.

Soon after, Ma and several other police officers involved in the incident were suspended from duty pending investigation.

The Beihe County Public Security Bureau has also begun to investigate the procedures for receiving, dispatching, and handling the case that day.

The news caused an uproar in the Beihe mining area.

The lunch was arranged by the Beihe County government, and the venue was Yingbinlou.

But this time, the atmosphere was completely different.

No one dared to offer toasts indiscriminately at the dinner table.

The mine owners sat up straight, each one more upright than the last.

Liu Xin sat next to Director Shao, holding a cup of tea.

Mr. Qian, the owner of Guangyuan, raised his teacup tremblingly: "President Liu, I will arrange for the legal department to send the cleaned documents to your company this afternoon. I was confused before, please forgive me."

Liu Xin calmly sipped his tea: "Business deals are all about mutual consent. But let's get this straight: the documents must be genuine, the mining rights must be clear, and environmental debts must be settled openly. Now, Xingxin is a legitimate company; even the provincial leaders are watching."

Mr. Qian nodded repeatedly.

"Understood, understood."

Hu Wancheng also stood up, holding his teacup.

"Mr. Liu, Hongtai..."

Liu Xin looked at him.

Hu Wancheng's lips moved, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Hongtai is willing to renegotiate with Xingxin."

Liu Xin picked up a piece of cold-dressed dried bean curd with her chopsticks and slowly chewed it.

He then said, "Mr. Hu, Hongtai is open to discussion."

Hu Wancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xin added, "But we also need to take care of what happened a few days ago."

Hu Wancheng's face was bitter, but he could only grit his teeth and nod: "It's my duty, it's my duty."

The third brother sat at another table, listening with great satisfaction.

He nudged the Xingxin employee next to him with his elbow and whispered, "See? This is what it means to be reasonable."

"It really helped me vent my anger, Mr. Chen."

At this point, the third brother couldn't help but burst into laughter.

An employee standing nearby reminded him, "Third Brother, keep your voice down."

"What's there to be afraid of?" The third brother puffed out his chest. "We're a regular army now."

This reached Liu Xin's ears.

Liu Xin almost choked on her tea.

Director Shao heard it too, and his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

At the end of the dinner, almost all the heads of the mining companies in Beihe proactively left their contact information.

Some people schedule due diligence, while others schedule assessments.

Some people even asked Xingxin Mining if they could send a team over immediately to take a look.

Xingxin Mining, which was ignored just a few days ago, has suddenly become a hot commodity.

Before getting on the bus, Liu Xin stood at the entrance of the Yingbin Building, looking at the clear blue sky of Beihe County. The anger that had been building up in his chest for the past few days finally dissipated.

He pulled out his phone and quickly sent Chen Mo a text message: "President Chen, Lao Liu really got his revenge today! The situation in Beihe is settled!"
