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

Jiangcheng County, County Party Committee Building.

Zhou Mingyuan was standing in front of the office window, with a report on the latest situation of the East Suburb Gold Mine on his desk.

The temporary review team from the Provincial Department of Natural Resources has been cancelled.

Qihua Capital exited.

Zhao Jianheng personally led Zhao Qiming to Jiangcheng County, where they not only apologized in person but also promised to no longer interfere with Xingxin Mining's equity.

The entire process took only one night.

As Zhou Mingyuan looked at the document, his expression grew increasingly complicated. He had indeed harbored some intention to test Zhao Qiming when he allowed him into the mining area.

The gold mine in the eastern suburbs is too valuable.

Star Technology has risen too fast again.

An 18-year-old boy who suddenly appears not only controls hundreds of millions of dollars but can also accurately locate gold mines buried deep underground. It simply doesn't make sense if there isn't higher-level support behind him.

Zhou Mingyuan wanted to see how Chen Mo would respond when the provincial capital's influence truly reached out.

The result was even more astonishing than he had anticipated.

Chen Mo did not even return to Jiangcheng.

While in Hong Kong, the Zhao father and son completely yielded in just one night.

More importantly, Zhou Mingyuan had vaguely learned through his own channels that the person who made the move was a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

People at that level generally don't easily express their opinions on ordinary business disputes.

"Chen Mo..."

Zhou Mingyuan murmured the name.

He could see through the boy more and more.

A stock market genius? A spokesperson for a mysterious conglomerate? Or a junior member of a top family sent to gain experience in a remote area?

However, Chen Mo's entire family's resumes were clearly displayed on his desk, and there was no evidence to suggest that his background was unusual.

But the truth is that the water behind Chen Mo is deeper than the entire East Suburb Gold Mine.

There was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Secretary Gao Yuan walked in with a document in his hand.

He was in his thirties, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had a refined appearance, but was extremely reliable in his work. Having followed Zhou Mingyuan for many years, he had long since learned to glean three layers of meaning from a single sentence.

"Secretary, I have a clear understanding of the situation regarding the person you asked me to keep an eye on last time."

Zhou Mingyuan turned around: "Chen Jianguo and Li Xiuyun?"

"right."

Gao Yuan placed the documents on the table.

"Both husband and wife work at the Qingshan Town Health Center. Chen Jianguo is a dentist with good professional skills and a good reputation in the local area. He has paid for the medical expenses of patients in need out of his own pocket many times."

"Li Xiuyun is the head nurse. She has worked for more than 20 years without any medical accidents. Two years ago, when the county was fighting floods, she led the nursing team to stay at the resettlement site for more than ten days. She was also awarded the title of Advanced Individual in the County Health System."

Gao Yuan paused, then added naturally:

"Both of them have clean resumes, and their professional skills and public reputation are excellent. It's just that they've never had any connections, so their positions and titles haven't changed much over the years."

Zhou Mingyuan flipped through the documents.

While Chen Mo was stirring up trouble outside, his parents were still working at the township health center, earning meager wages.

That's quite interesting.

"Is the county hospital recently making changes to its leadership team?" Zhou Mingyuan asked casually.

Gao Yuan understood immediately.

"The Department of Stomatology is short of an associate director, and the Nursing Department is also preparing to fill the vacancy with an associate director. However, according to procedure, it still needs to be reviewed by the County Health Bureau."

"Follow the normal procedure."

Zhou Mingyuan put the materials back on the table, his tone indifferent.

"The county cannot allow truly hardworking and capable comrades to remain buried at the grassroots level. Those who meet the requirements should be transferred or promoted as appropriate."

Gao Yuan nodded slightly.

"Understood. I will communicate with the health bureau and ask them to conduct the investigation strictly in accordance with the organizational procedures."

"Don't make it too deliberate."

"Don't worry, Secretary."

Gao Yuan picked up the materials and turned to leave.

After the door closed, Zhou Mingyuan looked out the window again.

He didn't expect to gain much from Chen Mo through two personnel arrangements.

This is not a simple exchange of benefits.

He just wanted to send a signal to Chen Mo.

Jiangcheng County is willing to protect Xingchen Technology.

They are also willing to treat the Chen family well.

……

Provincial capital international airport.

As soon as Chen Mo stepped out of the VIP passage, his phone vibrated several times.

Jingyi: The equity transfer documents for Xiling Mining have been signed.

Jingyi: The original management team, financial documents, and mining rights files have all been sealed. The on-site personnel will remain as they are for the time being, pending your appointment to take over.

Finally, a location was also included.

Xiling Mining is located in the mountainous area of ​​northern Shaanxi Province, more than 400 kilometers away from the provincial capital.

After reading the message, Chen Mo replied: Very efficient, thank you for your hard work, Sister Jingyi.

Lu Jingyi replied almost instantly.

Jingyi: You think you can just dismiss me with a simple "thank you"?

Chen Mo: I'll put it in the books and treat you to dinner when I get back.

Jingyi: That's more like it.

Chen Mo put away his phone and got into the Mercedes-Benz that he had arranged to meet outside the airport.

The assets of Xiling Mining have been acquired.

But the real problems are only just beginning to emerge.

He didn't have a mature mining management team, nor could he personally go to the northern mountainous area to oversee the mines.

Xingchen Technology is currently focusing its main efforts on Deer Technology, Feiyu Real Estate, and Douyin Group, which is about to be established with investment.

Lin Wan is very capable, but she doesn't understand mining.

There is only one most suitable person at present.

Liu Xin.

"When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, "In this life, Liu Xin is destined to be pushed onto an even more dazzling and expansive stage by me."

As soon as the car drove out of the airport, Chen Mo dialed his number.

"Mr. Chen!"

As soon as the call connected, Liu Xin's rough voice came through.

"You're back from Hong Kong?"

"I just arrived in the provincial capital," Chen Mo said. "President Liu, there's something I need you to do."

"Please give me your orders!"

"I've recently acquired a mining company located in the northern part of the western province. All the necessary permits, mining rights, and personnel are in place. I need you to send a team to take over."

Liu Xin didn't think much of it and immediately agreed: "No problem! What kind of mine is it? Coal mine, or non-ferrous metal mine?"

"Rare earth minerals".

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Four or five seconds passed before Liu Xin gasped in shock.

"Rare...rare earth elements?"

Having worked in the mining industry for many years, Liu Xin knows all too well what those two words mean.

Local private capital still has opportunities to get involved in coal mines and iron mines.

But rare earth elements are different.

This involves export quotas, strategic resources, smelting targets, and national-level industrial controls.

For ordinary people, let alone acquiring complete mining rights, it's difficult to even get close to the industrial chain.

Chen Mo went to Hong Kong and returned with a rare earth mine with all the necessary permits.

How powerful a background must be behind this?

Liu Xin originally thought that the East Suburb Gold Mine was Chen Mo's most amazing card, but now she realizes that it may only be the tip of the iceberg.

"Mr. Chen, what are the reserves of this mine?"

"It's not particularly large in scale, but the ownership is clean, and it comes with a complete mining company. The current overall valuation is about 400 million yuan."

Four hundred million.

Liu Xin's breathing became heavy again.

"My idea is to merge Xiling Mining into Xingxin Mining as a whole," Chen Mo continued.

Liu Xin immediately perked up.

This means that Xingxin Mining will no longer be a local enterprise that only has gold mines in the eastern suburbs.

Gold plus rare earth elements.

One that provides a huge cash flow.

One represents the value of strategic resources.

Placing the two assets on the same platform will instantly elevate Xingxin Mining's status.

"Mr. Chen, I wholeheartedly agree!"

Liu Xin excitedly said, "Don't worry, I'll immediately transfer the most knowledgeable mining team from Longxin. I'll handle everything for you—production, safety, equipment, and personnel!"

"Don't rush, there's still the equity stake to be discussed."

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"Currently, Xingxin Mining is valued at one billion yuan. Xingchen Technology holds 70% and Longxin Group holds 30%."

"Xiling Mining is held in my personal name and injected into the company at a valuation of 400 million yuan."

"After the capital increase and restructuring, Xingxin Mining's overall valuation is 1.4 billion yuan."

Liu Xin quickly did the math in her head.

The original value of Longxin Group's shares at 300 million yuan will be diluted to approximately 21.43% after the capital increase.

Xingchen Technology's share dropped from 70% to 50%.

Chen Mo personally invested through Xiling Mining, holding approximately 28.57% of the shares.

Proportionally, his shareholding has decreased.

But its value is not reduced by a single penny.

More importantly, the addition of rare earth mines will bring far more than just a book value of 400 million yuan.

Once it enters the strategic resource system, Xingxin Mining will have access to completely different banks, state-owned assets, and industrial capital.

This is a leap forward that no amount of money can buy.

"Mr. Chen, I have no objection!"

Liu Xin didn't even question the true value of the rare earth mine before giving a straightforward answer.

Liu Xin, who came from a humble background, understood that from the moment the gold mine in the eastern suburbs was discovered, Chen Mo had become her destined benefactor.

He is now very glad that he didn't act rashly and refuse to see Chen Mo, instead of giving face to Deputy County Chief Wang.

In just a month or so, Chen Mo gave him a return that he could not achieve in decades.

"Although Longxin's shareholding has decreased from 30% to just over 20%, its assets have not shrunk. Your willingness to inject such valuable rare earth mines into Xingxin is clearly a way to help me, Lao Liu, reach a higher level."

"If I can't even figure this out, then all these years have been for nothing."

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Chen Mo's eyes.

Although Liu Xin is rough around the edges, he is not confused.

More importantly, he knows how to be content.

"Then it's settled."

"Xingchen Technology holds 50% of the shares, I personally hold 28%, and Longxin Group holds 22%."

"Lin Wan will contact lawyers and accountants to handle asset valuation, capital increase agreement and business registration changes."

"After you take your men to Xiling Mining, do three things first."

"First, seal up all mining rights, production and sales data, and investigate historical accounts."

"Second, suspend all new export contracts. In particular, long-term agreements that rely on rare earth export quotas will be reviewed again."

"Third, without my permission, the scale of mining shall not be expanded, nor shall any merger or acquisition be publicized."

Liu Xin was somewhat puzzled.

Rare earth quotas are extremely valuable now, and normally, one should take advantage of the good market conditions to sell them off quickly.

Why did Chen Mo instead request a suspension of the new contract?

But after experiencing the gold mine in the eastern suburbs, he no longer questioned Chen Mo's judgment.

"clear."

Liu Xin solemnly stated, "I will personally lead the team there, and I guarantee that not a single piece of paper will be leaked."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind," Liu Xin chuckled. "Now I have a stake in Xingxin Mining too. From now on, this isn't just for you, it's for myself!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xin remained sitting in her office, lost in thought.

A moment later, he suddenly stood up and grabbed the car keys from the table.

"Third brother!"

The third brother rushed in from outside the door.

"Mr. Liu?"

"Call back all our people who know the most about non-ferrous metals, finance, and safe production."

Liu Xin grabbed his coat, his eyes gleaming.

"We're setting off tonight for Xiling!"

The third brother looked blank: "What's in Xiling?"

Liu Xin walked to the door, turned back, and grinned.

"Our mining industry will soon have another rare earth mine."

The third brother, who had also worked in the mines, was completely stunned.

……

Inside the car, Chen Mo put down his phone and leaned back in the leather seat.

After Xiling Mining was merged into Xingxin, the equity structure appeared to be split up, but in fact, it made the entire mining platform clearer.

Xingchen Technology represents his domestic industrial capital, and his personal shareholding represents his direct control over strategic resources.

Longxin Group is responsible for local relations and mine operations.

Each of the three has its own division of labor.

In the short term, no one can replace anyone else.

As for that 1,000-ton rare earth export quota...

In about ten days, the quota system will be officially abolished.

At that time, the entire domestic rare earth industry will undergo a reshuffling.

Many trading companies that rely on quotas will instantly lose their most valuable competitive advantage.

However, companies that truly own mining rights and resource reserves will gradually reveal their true value after the market completes its initial panic pricing.

At that moment, the phone vibrated again.

It was a message from Lin Wan.

Lin Wan: Mr. Chen, Huaguo Bank has agreed in principle to provide Xingchen Technology with a credit line of 100 million yuan. President Sun hopes to meet with you tomorrow to finalize the signing.

Chen Mo replied, "I'll see President Sun tomorrow morning."

After sending the message, he put his phone aside.

The car drove onto the highway back to Jiangcheng County.

In the distance, the winter sunset pierced through the clouds and fell upon the mountains and fields.
