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

The next morning.

The Jiangcheng County Party Committee Building.

The yard was already full of official vehicles bearing license plates from county-level government agencies.

The heads of almost all departments related to mining development, including the Land Bureau, Mining Bureau, Finance Bureau, Development and Reform Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and Safety Supervision Bureau, arrived at the county party committee meeting room half an hour early.

No one dared to be late.

Today's meeting is a closed-door coordination meeting personally convened by the county's top leader.

The meeting's theme consisted of only four words.

Gold mine in the eastern suburbs.

8:20 a.m.

The Hummer H2 smoothly drove into the county government compound.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Wan was dressed extremely formally today, in a black business suit, with her long hair tied up, exuding a capable and aloof aura.

She was holding a thick stack of documents, including Xingxin Mining's articles of association, Xingchen Technology's creditworthiness certificate, Deer Technology's investment contract, and Feiyu Real Estate's letter of intent for acquisition.

The car door opened.

Chen Mo stepped out of the car.

He wore a simple dark jacket and black trousers today, looking clean and neat.

As Deputy County Head Wang, who was standing on the steps to greet Chen Mo, saw him get out of the car, he quickly stepped forward and extended his hand with a warm smile:

"Good morning, Mr. Chen."

"The leaders are already waiting in the conference room, and General Manager Liu has arrived as well."

"You're too kind, County Chief Wang." Chen Mo extended his hand and shook hands with him lightly. "Today, the county is giving Xingxin Mining guidance, so of course we dare not be negligent."

It was a sentence spoken with grace, yet without any awkwardness.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Deputy County Head Wang's eyes.

This boy doesn't seem like a high school student at all.

If it weren't for the files on display, he might have thought he was facing the boss of a conglomerate in the provincial capital.

The two walked into the county committee building one after the other.

Lin Wan, holding the documents, quietly followed half a step behind Chen Mo.

She could clearly sense that today's meeting was different from all previous business negotiations.

Whether it's Deer Technology, Feiyu Real Estate, or Longxin Group, they are all essentially business entities.

But today we are facing the officialdom head-on.

Every word, every statement, and even every seating arrangement here carries a different meaning.

Third floor, first conference room.

The heavy wooden door was pushed open.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

On both sides of the long conference table, more than a dozen powerful figures from the county had already taken their seats.

Sitting in the main seat was Zhou Mingyuan, the Party Secretary of Jiangcheng County.

He was in his early fifties, with a square face, his hair was neatly combed, and his eyes were sharp.

The top official in Jiangcheng County did not put on airs at this moment, but instead stood up and looked at Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, welcome!"

When Zhou Mingyuan stood up, everyone else in the conference room naturally followed suit.

Liu Xin, who was standing at the back, was deeply shocked when she saw this scene.

Having spent so many years in Jiangcheng County, he knew all too well the weight and influence of Secretary Zhou.

This person usually gives local entrepreneurs a nod if they can get enough face.

But today, he actually stood up to greet Chen Mo.

It seems that the landscape of Jiangcheng County is about to change starting today.

"Hello, Secretary Zhou."

Chen Mo stepped forward and said, "Chen Mo of Xingchen Technology, thank you for the county's attention to Xingxin Mining."

"It's only right to take this seriously." Zhou Mingyuan grasped Chen Mo's hand and gave him a deep look. "If the exploration results for the East Suburb Gold Mine are true, this is not only a major event for Xingxin Mining, but also a major event for Jiangcheng County's finances and industrial structure over the next ten years."

Chen Mo smiled slightly: "That's why I'm here today."

These few words deepened the smile in Zhou Mingyuan's eyes.

After everyone was seated, the meeting officially began.

Director Zhou of the Mining Bureau was the first to speak.

He unfolded the preliminary mineral sample analysis report, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Based on the results of the three sets of mineral samples submitted for testing, the gold enrichment in the rock cores unearthed in the Luanshitan area of ​​the eastern suburbs far exceeds the standard for ordinary veins. Although the final reserves still need to be confirmed by further exploration by the provincial geological team, judging from the existing strata trend and borehole data, there is a very high probability that a large primary gold deposit exists in this area."

"Large?" Zhou Mingyuan asked.

Director Zhou swallowed hard: "Conservatively speaking, the value of the potential resources will not be less than one billion. If the subsequent deep drilling results are satisfactory, it cannot be ruled out that it could be even higher."

A suppressed gasp filled the conference room.

A minimum of one billion.

For a small county like Jiangcheng, where finances are always tight, these two words carry immense weight.

The finance bureau chief even sat up straight instinctively, his eyes already gleaming.

This represents more than just a mine.

This is tax revenue, political achievement, infrastructure, and a major driving force for boosting the county's finances.

Zhou Mingyuan didn't speak immediately, but looked at Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, I've reviewed the materials regarding Xingxin Mining's current shareholding structure. Xingchen Technology holds 70%, and Longxin Group holds 30%. Yesterday, you also proposed transferring 15% of the future mine revenue to the local government in a reasonable and compliant manner for the construction of supporting facilities in the eastern suburbs and for industrial funds."

He paused, his tone becoming serious: "Is this what you truly mean?"

All eyes immediately turned to Chen Mo.

Liu Xin also held her breath.

He thought about that 15% all night, and the more he thought about it, the more it hurt his heart.

But he also understood that without that 15%, they might not be able to hold onto the gold mine in the end.

Too much wealth inevitably attracts attention.

Without official protection, no one can hold out.

Chen Mo leaned forward slightly and placed his hands crossed on the table.

"Secretary Zhou, Xingchen Technology has always believed in win-win cooperation."

"The East Suburb Gold Mine is buried under the land of Jiangcheng County. Mining requires the support of the county, transportation requires the county's roads, security requires the county's order, and future tax revenue, employment, and supporting industries will all depend on the coordination of the local government."

"It's unrealistic and unsustainable for Xingchen Technology to reap the benefits while Longxin Group only gets the scraps, leaving the county to just watch."

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Mo continued:

"So this 15% is Xingchen Technology's proactive approach of linking the future of Jiangcheng County's finances, the eastern suburbs' infrastructure, and Xingxin Mining together. The better the mining goes, the higher the county's profits will be; the more stable the county's support, the faster Xingxin Mining will develop."

"I hope that the East Suburb Gold Mine will not be a one-off deal, but rather the first cornerstone for the industrial upgrading of Jiangcheng County."

Zhou Mingyuan's eyes finally changed.

He knew Chen Mo's background better than Liu Xin, and even knew that Chen Mo started his business by making tractor accounts.

In Jiangcheng County, he was the county magistrate, and anything he wanted to know would appear on his desk the next day.

Now, hearing Chen Mo's words, he truly regarded Chen Mo as a strategic partner for the first time.

This young man is looking too far ahead.

He was so far removed from what one would expect from an ordinary businessman.

When ordinary businessmen see a gold mine, their first reaction is to hoard it, monopolize it, and transfer the profits.

Chen Mo's first reaction was to share profits, to bind local governments together, and to turn them into a community of shared interests.

This is not cleverness.

This is a strategic perspective.

Just then, at the end of the conference table, an elderly cadre with gray hair frowned and spoke:

"Secretary Zhou, may I interject?"

The speaker was a retired director of the county people's congress, who was invited to observe the coordination meeting today.

He was a very senior figure in Jiangcheng County, and even Zhou Mingyuan had to give him some face.

"Gold mine development is no small matter. I don't doubt Xingchen Technology's financial strength, but President Chen is still too young. Isn't it too risky to entrust such a large concession development project to a newly established private enterprise?"

The atmosphere in the meeting room tensed slightly as soon as those words were spoken.

Liu Xin's face darkened, but she didn't dare to speak.

Lin Wan unconsciously tightened her grip on the documents.

Chen Mo simply smiled faintly.

He had expected someone to ask this question.

"The old director's concerns are quite normal."

Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan immediately stood up and distributed several documents to the conference table in a clean and efficient manner.

Chen Mo spoke calmly:

"First, Xingchen Technology has sufficient cash flow on its books and no bad debts from banks."

"Secondly, Xingchen Technology has completed its strategic investment in Deer Technology, with the first phase of 40 million yuan already received, and the South Suburb Fluorochemical Industry Project is underway."

"Third, the overall acquisition of Feiyu Real Estate is currently in the legal due diligence stage. Once completed, Xingchen Technology will have a mature local engineering and construction team and land development qualifications."

"Fourth, Xingxin Mining is not a shell company. Longxin Group has a complete team in local mining, earthwork, transportation and construction. Mr. Liu himself is also willing to act as an executive shareholder and be responsible for front-line mining."

At this point, Chen Mo looked up at the old director.

"We have the funding, technology, construction, and local coordination."

"If the county is still worried, I can promise that all major cash flows, ore shipments, and tax declarations of Xingxin Mining will be subject to the supervision of the county's special team."

"I only want development rights, not gray areas."

The last sentence fell.

Many people in the conference room had a slight change in expression.

Avoid gray areas.

This statement carries immense weight in the complex and often unfathomable field of county-level mining development.

Zhou Mingyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table before finally speaking:

"I think Mr. Chen's attitude shows great sincerity."

"Gold mine development requires both efficiency and regulation. It should ensure that enterprises make money while also benefiting the local area."

He glanced around, his voice steady:

"My suggestion is that the county should establish a special coordination group for the development of mining in the eastern suburbs, headed by Vice County Head Wang, with the participation of all departments including land, mining, public security, safety supervision, environmental protection, and finance."

"Xingxin Mining, as the main entity of the project, is responsible for preliminary exploration, basic construction and development application."

"The county is responsible for coordinating the provincial geological team to conduct on-site verification, while ensuring order on site. No unrelated enterprises or individuals are allowed to interfere with the project's progress."

"The Finance Bureau and Xingxin Mining are jointly studying a compliant way to implement the 15% local industry revenue, so as not to leave any future problems."

Finally, Zhou Mingyuan looked at Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, do you think Xingchen Technology can accept this arrangement?"

Chen Mo did not hesitate at all.

"Completely accept."

Liu Xin immediately patted his chest and declared, "Secretary Zhou, rest assured! Longxin Group will fully cooperate with the county's work. Anyone who dares to cause trouble on site, I, Liu Xin, will be the first to object!"

Zhou Mingyuan glanced at him, his tone neither too loud nor too soft: "President Liu, the Public Security Bureau is in charge of maintaining order at the scene. Your men just need to follow the rules."

Liu Xin felt a chill run down her spine and quickly nodded, "Understood, understood! I'll definitely follow the rules!"

A low chuckle rippled through the conference room, finally easing the tense atmosphere slightly.

The meeting then moved into detailed discussions over the next hour.

How to repair temporary roads?

How are blasting permits approved?

When will the provincial geological team arrive?

Who is responsible for on-site security?

What is the procedure for sealing mineral samples?

Each item has been assigned a specific person in charge and a specific timeframe.

Lin Wan sat next to Chen Mo, quickly taking notes of the meeting.

The more she remembered, the more horrified she became.

Because she clearly realized that from today onwards, Xingchen Technology's status in Jiangcheng County had completely changed.

Previously, they were wealthy foreign capital.

Now, they are the main entities of key projects officially endorsed by the county party committee.

The difference between them is worlds apart.

The meeting ended close to noon.

Zhou Mingyuan did not rush to leave, but personally escorted Chen Mo to the meeting room door.

"President Chen," Zhou Mingyuan said in a low voice, his tone meaningful, "Jiangcheng County has been poor for too many years. We've finally got an opportunity, and I hope you won't let me down."

Chen Mo was only now taking a good look at the county's top official. The reason he had come forward today was largely because of this secretary. His background was not as simple as he had imagined. In his previous life, this secretary had a very successful career. He served in Jiangcheng County for three years before becoming the deputy mayor of Changhu. He was promoted every three years thereafter until he became the second-in-command of the provincial party committee of west Province.

Building a good relationship with this county party secretary beforehand and linking his achievements to your own business will bring unexpected benefits in the future.

After a pause, Chen Mo said, "Secretary Zhou, don't worry. The gold mine in the eastern suburbs is just a pleasant surprise. What I value most is the fluorochemical industry chain, which will definitely surprise you in the future."

Zhou Mingyuan's pupils contracted slightly.

He didn't know much about fluorochemicals, but nowadays no one would take the words of this eighteen-year-old as a joke. It seemed he needed to learn more about fluorochemicals.

Meanwhile, in the corridor on the second floor of the county committee building.

Chen Liqin, the director of the county education bureau's office, came out of the conference room in the annex building carrying a stack of documents.

Today she came to attend the county-wide education system's winter safety work meeting. After the meeting, she was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard a slightly hurried footstep coming from the direction of the third floor.

She subconsciously looked up.

Deputy County Head Wang walked ahead, all smiles, and was whispering to a young man beside him.

The young man was wearing a dark jacket, had a tall and straight figure, and a calm expression. Behind him was a beautiful and capable female secretary.

Chen Liqin suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Chen Mo?

She almost thought she was seeing things.

She was certainly familiar with this name.

Some time ago, after my daughter Su Qingyan came home, she would occasionally mention the transfer student in her class who suddenly became enlightened.

His grades soared from the bottom to the top in the city, and his personality was completely different from that of ordinary high school students.

More importantly, she had even approached the principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School, subtly suggesting that the seating arrangement could be slightly adjusted because her daughter was sitting next to Chen Mo.

After all, at this crucial juncture of senior year in high school, any hint of early romance could affect my daughter's future.

But at that moment, the male classmate actually came down from the third floor of the county committee building, and was even personally escorted out by Deputy County Head Wang.

Chen Liqin stood there, her heart filled with turmoil.

Chen Mo seemed to have noticed her gaze as well.

He turned his head, saw Chen Liqin, paused slightly, then nodded and smiled politely.

Chen Liqin gave a reluctant nod, but her gaze lingered on him for a long time.

She only took a deep breath after Chen Mo and his group had walked down the stairs.

What exactly is the situation with this Chen Mo?

...........

After the group left the county government building, Liu Xin was still in a state of excitement.

He stood at the bottom of the steps, rubbed his face vigorously, and said in a low voice, "President Chen, with today's meeting, our gold mine is completely secured! With the county's special task force keeping an eye on things, anyone who wants to get involved will have to think twice!"

Chen Mo opened the car door and said calmly, "Don't be too happy yet."

Liu Xin was taken aback: "There's more trouble?"

"The news about the gold mine can't be suppressed for long." Chen Mo sat in the back row. "The county wants political achievements, the city wants resources, and those mining groups in the province aren't blind either."

"Soon, someone will come to pick the peaches."

Liu Xin's smile froze instantly: "Heh, I'd like to see which bastard dares to steal my peach!"

Chen Mo didn't say much and drove away with Lin Wan.

Liu Xin remained where he was, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. He knew a few people at the provincial mining group, and given their temperaments, they might very well get involved, just as Chen Mo had suggested.

However, since he only owns 30% of the shares, if someone were to come and take the credit, Xingchen Technology would be the first to do so, so he wouldn't lose out.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin tore open a bag of betel nuts, popped two into his mouth, and said to his henchman beside him, "Let's go back to Yulong Manor. Let's make the master happy tonight."

Two henchmen beside him grinned lewdly and beckoned the driver over.

Two Audi A6s drove out of the county government compound.
