"The only way to reverse public opinion is to determine the value of the Baihe Gold Mine and let the public know that we are not doing a loss-making business."

"But the problem is...hey."

Li Jing didn't say anything further, but Hu Wanyou had already guessed what she was thinking.

In the final analysis, it is not that she has no confidence in the gold mine itself, but her confidence in herself has been destroyed by the turbulent public opinion on the Internet.

Now, what she is worried about is not whether the gold mine exists, how big the reserves are, or how high the grade is.

She is worried that even if the gold mine is finally proven to be able to completely make up for the losses on the high-speed rail project, it will still not be able to convince the people and restore their confidence in the country's decision-making.

In the end, this project became an eternal stain in the history of China's development.

Thinking of this, Hu Wanyou patted Li Jing on the shoulder and said:

"Doing good deeds without asking for reward."

"Think about it for yourself, how many things in our country can we really fully understand?"

"From the very beginning, the birth of this country has actually been in a storm of doubt and hostility."

"After that, we invaded the northern peninsula, fought against U.S. aggression and aided Korea, carried out reform, launched fighter jets, and launched high-speed rail. Which one thing really went smoothly?"

"No!"

"All we can do is do the job at hand well."

"As for the rest, someone will take care of it for us."

Hearing Hu Wanyou's words, Li Jing nodded heavily.

At this time, the depth of the drilling machine has reached the predetermined depth. After a brief pause, the drill bit begins to move upward.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, staring closely at the small hole less than five centimeters in diameter that the drill bit penetrated deeply.

There are no traces of groundwater seepage, and the underground sandstone should not have been eroded by flowing water.

Such signs make people even more confused.

Because the situation has begun to become polarized.

Or, the gold reserves under this mountain are far lower than expected.

Or, under their feet is a large-scale gold mine that has never been truly explored, and its reserves may even be comparable to the large and small mines on Rand's main vein.

The time to reveal the answer is coming soon.

Li Jing couldn't help but hold her breath.

When the drill bit was completely lifted out of the hole, she immediately rushed forward and began to inspect the sand and gravel that had been driven out.

Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she even adjusted the lens several times before finally adjusting the lens.

And when those gravels lay on her hands, her nervousness reached its peak in an instant.

My heartbeat seemed to skip a beat at this moment.

Her pupils suddenly narrowed because she saw something incredible in the field of view of the lens.

Eyes full of gold.

She slowly raised her head to look at Hu Wanyou and stammered:

"We seem to have dug up a big guy."

A few days later, the first exploration results of Evander-White River were released.

Judging from the results of multiple explorations and test mining, the total gold reserves of the Evander-White River Gold Mine are more than 400 tons, and the gold ore grade has reached an astonishing 9.6 grams per ton.

This number far exceeds the average grade of domestic gold mines, and is of high quality even in South Africa's Rand Mine.

After getting the report, Li Jing flipped through the more than 100 pages of the report page by page, remaining silent the whole time.

Hu Wanyou was smiling and talking on the phone nearby, reporting the situation to the country.

"Yes, the grade is around 9.6, of course, it could be higher."

"After all, our current exploration is not complete yet. It is impossible to go any lower. The lower limit is right here."

“We got this mine right, we’ve made a lot of money!”

"If you consider full-cycle returns, as long as there are no changes in South Africa's policies, we estimate that we can earn more than 100 billion from this gold mine alone!"

"Oh, those Canadians are probably so regretful that their intestines are green - no, they have nothing to regret, after all, they never set their sights on this land from the beginning."

"How about calling them stupid?"

"Oh, it's not our fault, it's mainly because the superior leaders gave us the right direction."

"I'm not flattering you this time. I really don't know where their information came from."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I have a lot of things going on here. You can just report according to the report I sent."

Putting down the phone, Hu Wanyou turned to Li Jing and asked cheerfully:

"You don't have to worry now, do you?"

Li Jing nodded, then shook her head.

"I'm still worried."

"The difficulty of mining here is much more difficult than we expected, due to the mining infrastructure."

"Stop talking."

Hu Wan waved his hand and interrupted her.

"In terms of infrastructure, what else can stop us?"

I haven't been in a good state lately and I feel uncomfortable, so I'll post a chapter first.

What I owe in the past few days will be slowly made up later.
Chapter completed!
