The dust settling in Beihe County is merely the prelude to a resource storm.

In the following days, Xingxin Mining's integration team split into six smaller groups and launched a series of swift and decisive attacks, heading to various cities and counties in the western province.

Each group held three trump cards in their hands, cards that could deliver a devastating blow.

The acquisition plan for Xingxin Mining, the initial investment document of 300 million yuan from Jiangcheng Industrial Investment, and the preliminary communication letter between the provincial industrial fund and the provincial state-owned assets operation platform.

These three things, when put together, have completely different weights.

In the past, when Xingxin Mining went to discuss mining, people would ask questions.

Who are you? Do you have enough money? Can you operate the mine after acquiring it?

Now, the other party is asking more questions.

When will the due diligence begin? How will the price be assessed? Can we be given priority?

Many small and medium-sized mining enterprises in the western province were already struggling to breathe due to funding, environmental protection, and safety production rectification.

If they sell to ordinary private capital, they worry about being pressured to lower the price; if they sell to large foreign corporations, they fear that after signing an exclusivity agreement, they will be delayed in making payments.

Xingxin Mining's proposal turned out to be the most stable one.

Market-based valuation, cash plus equity, special funds for rectification costs, and inclusion in Jiangcheng New Energy Materials' long-term supply chain system.

More importantly, the presence of Jiangcheng Industrial Investment and provincial state-owned assets behind the scenes makes many local governments willing to cooperate.

One fluorite mine, two lithium mines, and three rare metal associated mining rights companies.

There are also several mines with small resource reserves but excellent locations.

In just a few days, letters of intent were sent back to Jiangcheng one after another.

The map in Xingxin Mining's office was quickly filled with drawings.

Red represents fluorite, blue represents lithium ore, green represents rare metals, and black represents risks pending verification.

One by one, magnetic nails landed on the map of the western province.

From the North River to the Long Lake.

From the surrounding areas of Jiangcheng to the mountainous areas in northern Shaanxi Province.

For the first time, Xingxin Mining's resource map has truly been laid out.

When Lin Wan reported to Chen Mo, the mining rights that had entered the formal due diligence and were tentatively locked in accounted for almost 40% of the resources in the western province.

Chen Mo walked to the map, his gaze sweeping from Beihe all the way to the mountainous area in northern west Province.

"What about Huadong Mining?"

"Still stopping."

Lin Wan opened the documents.

"Overseas financing has not been completely cut off, but investors have requested supplementary materials, which will delay the process by at least two weeks."

Several domestic banks have also requested that they resubmit explanations regarding the use of funds and the source of debt repayment.

"Shen Zhennan has not made any public appearances for the time being."

"Gao Peng has already left the western province."

"Where is Cao Guosheng?"

"Still under investigation."

Lin Wan spoke calmly.

"Changhu City acted quickly; the relevant accounts of Hongtai Mining have already been transferred. The police officers involved in the incident in Beihe have also been suspended from their duties."

Chen Mo nodded.

The outcome of this game is already decided.

He first precisely cut off the financial lifeline of East China Mining, and then, taking advantage of the suffocation, forcibly dragged the provincial and county-level state-owned giants out of the game.

Today, Xingxin is no longer a private mining company that can be manipulated at will, but a provincial strategic tool disguised as "protecting local resources and keeping industries in western province".

The few days that Huadong Mining suspended operations seem short in the context of mining mergers and acquisitions.

But for Chen Mo, that was enough.

By the time Shen Zhennan realized something was wrong, Xingxin Mining was no longer a simple private mining company.

Some voices that publicly supported East China Mining began to feel awkward.

Previously, they could say that introducing foreign capital would help integrate resources in western provinces.

Now? Jiangcheng has come up with a local solution.

Resources remain in the western province, industries remain in the western province, and taxes and jobs also remain in the western province.

Anyone who openly pressures Xingxin is going against this logic.

No one will jump out and become a target at this time.

Especially after Cao Guosheng was investigated, Beihe's underhanded tactics were exposed like a tattered rag being torn off.

……

In a small conference room of the provincial party committee in the provincial capital, several meetings after the Spring Festival always circled back to Jiangcheng.

Liang Wenyuan sat to one side, with an internal briefing on the coffee table in front of him.

Someone turned to the page about Xingxin Mining and couldn't help but say, "This young man is quick."

No one objected.

Another Standing Committee member tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his expression complex: "Fast is secondary; what's truly valuable is the sense of proportion."

"He knows exactly when to strike first and when to get local government and state-owned assets to back him up. He uses their strength against them, his timing is impeccable."

"You're making it sound so far-fetched," someone suddenly chuckled, breaking the silence, "but isn't he still officially a senior in high school?"

After these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell over the conference room.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, then gave a wry smile.

This matter, when presented in the materials, seems surreal no matter how you look at it.

While other high school seniors are burning the midnight oil to prepare for the second mock exam, Chen Mo has already forced a mining giant from another province to a standstill, dragged provincial state-owned assets into the mess, and even managed to lock up 40% of the province's core mineral veins.

Liang Wenyuan didn't say much; he simply picked up his teacup and blew away the foam.

After a moment, he spoke: "The pilot program in Jiangcheng deserves recognition."

The provincial party secretary, who was at the top of the list, nodded in approval, setting the tone for the meeting.

……

Jiangcheng County, County Party Committee Building.

Zhou Mingyuan also received word from the provincial authorities. Vice County Head Wang excitedly pushed open the door and reported, "Secretary, the province's attitude is clear: there will be absolutely no obstacles to Xingxin Mining's subsequent capital increase and share expansion!"

Zhou Mingyuan looked out the window and saw that some new buds were already visible on the branches of the trees in the county committee compound.

"Don't be too happy yet; resource integration is just the first step."

"Following this are the transfer of mining rights, environmental rectification, safety production, funding, and industrial development."

Deputy County Head Wang nodded.

"I see."

Zhou Mingyuan turned around.

Where is Chen Mo?

Lin Wan said that President Chen went to Hong Kong today.

"Hongkong?"

"Something came up at the company over there."

Zhou Mingyuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

Just as things were stirring up in Jiangcheng, he had already gone to Hong Kong.

This young man probably doesn't know that his name has already been placed on the desk of the highest echelons of power in the western province.

……

Meanwhile, in Central, Hong Kong at this time.

Phase II of the International Financial Center, 66 floors.

The elevator doors opened silently.

The entire office area still carries the faint scent of wood from the recent renovations, and Victoria Harbour stretches out beneath the glass curtain wall.

Ships in the distance moved slowly, like small white dots on a chessboard.

Genesis Capital's Hong Kong office has recently opened.

The English signage at the front desk is very simple.

Genesis Capital.

When Chen Mo entered the conference room, Lu Jingyi was already inside.

Today she was wearing a black business suit, her long hair was tied up, and she only had a minimalist diamond stud earring by her ear.

She is capable, radiant, and exudes a greater sense of control than she did at Merrill Lynch.

Several documents were placed in front of her.

Beside him stood Arthur Grant, with his silver-white hair.

The old man sat upright, leaning on an ebony cane.

The sunlight outside the window fell on his gray suit shoulders, as if coating his whole body with a layer of cold light.

Lu Jingyi looked up and saw Chen Mo, and the corners of her lips slightly lifted.

"Xiao Mo, you had a great time in the Western Province."

Chen Mo pulled out a chair and sat down.

"good."

Arthur looked at him, a hint of a smile in his blue eyes.

"Mr. Chen, you are always too modest."

Chen Mo looked at him: "I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Grant to make a special trip to Hong Kong. Next, we should talk about the first closed-end fund of Genesis Capital."
