Chapter 1048: Evidence in the Cabinet
Chapter 1049: The Huang Family Affairs
Although Zhao Ying was unwilling to doubt what Wang Xiaoyan said and did not want to think so complicatedly, the facts were right in front of her and she couldn't help but think so.
After looking at the production date marked on the box, it was only recently produced. Zhao Ying sighed secretly and carefully put the box back as it was.
She was a little sad and a little disappointed. She didn't understand why Wang Xiaoyan wanted to deceive herself. Even if she told the truth, what could she do? Yang Ming was very fickle, and she didn't know that even if she had something with Yang Ming, she wouldn't say much. Moreover, she had no right to say anything.
But now? Zhao Ying feels like a fool, deceived by her best friend. Zhao Ying really thinks that all this is a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding, but the possibility seems to be very small.
Lying quietly in the bathtub, Zhao Ying's mind was blank. I wonder how to face Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming in the future... Should they be like before, or should they be like strangers?
Zhao Ying is really embarrassed...
To be precise, Huang Lele was deceived home. The eldest brother called and said that his father had something to do with her, but he didn't mention a word about the marriage. It was not until Huang Lele returned home that he knew that there was something wrong with the family's investment in Africa!
In the second half of last year, the Huang family invested in a giant gold mine in a small country in Africa and spent 5 billion US dollars to purchase the mine's 100-year mining rights.
Of course, most of the money comes from bank loans. In addition to this purchase fund, the early employment of mining equipment has also spent nearly one billion US dollars. In fact, the total investment of the Huang family in this steel mine exceeded six billion US dollars.
However, based on the raw ore content of this mine, it will take less than a hundred years to recover the cost in about twenty years, and all of the future will be pure profits!
How could such a huge profit make Huang Rongtian, the boss of the Huang family, not moved? After discussing with the old man Huang Xiaofei at home, he put all his wealth in.
However, Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei both made a fatal mistake, that is, they ignored the political situation in African countries! In such a country where government changes faster than season change, it is not something that ordinary people can participate in!
Just over half a year later, the provisional government that signed the contract before collapsed, and the former president swept the money and absconded. He thought that after the new government came to power, he would not make any changes to the contracts signed by these merchants before in order to gain public support. In fact, most of the contracts have not changed, only the Huang family's contracts, which others refused to admit.
Other businessmen have more or less private armed forces in the local area, and no matter which government comes to power, they will not easily anger them.
But the Huang family is different. They are just a merchant and have no support in X Country. So as soon as the new provisional government was established, it tore up the previous contract between the government and the Huang family. They wanted to squeeze out a large amount of military expenditure from the Huang family. Of course, if the Huang family cannot afford the money, it would be fine. The younger brother of the newly appointed acting president General Carls is an iron ore owner, who handed the mine directly to him to manage it and didn't even have to buy equipment.
Due to the collapse of the provisional government of this small country and the regime changed, the contract signed by the Huang family before became a piece of waste paper. If they wanted to continue to develop, they had to sign an agreement with the new securities leaders again.
However, the other party offered a very outrageous condition and had to charge 5 billion US dollars of gold mining rights. Although the contract seemed to be very generous and signed a two hundred years of agreement, Huang Rongtian also understood that these two hundred years were all false. Even if he signed an agreement of 1,000 years, the newly established regime would still not recognize it after the collapse of this provisional government.
The Huang family will never allow such acts of destroying bridges across the river and wanting to pick peaches from their own hands. The Huang family is also a prominent family in Singapore and has a very social status. How can they withstand such bullying?
Huang Rongtian immediately asked General Carls to argue, but when the black muzzle hit Huang Rongjin's head, Huang Rongtian suddenly woke up.
In this small African country without diplomacy and joining the United Nations, there is no law to speak of. It can be said that the supreme leader here is the law, and he killed all those who disobey him.
Huang Rongtian carefully returned amid General Carls' sneer, not daring to mention any meaning.
However, not daring to speak too much does not mean that the Huang family does nothing! Because Huang Rongtian is unwilling to give up, his money is wasted, but it is a fantasy to ask him to take out another 5 billion US dollars!
Most of the previous five billion were mortgaged by the current industry and loaned from banks. Now there is a problem with the mines in Africa. It would be good if the banks do not rush to urge loans, let alone loans from the bank.
Just when Huang Rongtian was a little desperate, he suddenly got a very important news! The Li family also wanted to invest in the mineral mining industry in Africa! The Li family is also a big family, with financial resources comparable to the Huang family. However, the businesses that were originally operated by the two companies were different and there were few opportunities for cooperation. Now that he heard that the Li family was also preparing to invest in the mining industry, Huang Rongtian immediately became interested and found Li Tianjia, the current helmsman of the Li family. Moreover, according to reliable information, the Li family had business dealings with General Carls, which is the most important point!
Li Tianjia and Huang Rongtian are about the same age as they are the eldest son of Li Zhicheng, the oldest man of the Li family. Li Tianjia is very calm about Huang Rongtian's purpose. He did not agree or disagree, but just said he would consider it.
When Huang Rongtian saw Li Tianjia's lukewarm attitude, he knew that this matter was quite lingering. After all, there is no big benefit, so why should he get involved with you?
In order to tie Li Tianjia to the same chariot, Huang Rongtian proposed the marriage. At the beginning, Li Tianjia was not very interested, but when he saw the photo on Huang Rongtian's phone, his eyes immediately turned straight. Huang Rongtian called him several times, and Li Tianjia came to his senses a little embarrassedly.
However, Huang Rongtian didn't care at all, but was a little happy. It seemed that Li Tianjia was interested in Lele, so there was a way to do this.
Sure enough, Li Tianjia pretended to shirk a few words and said, "Oh my God, I don't object to marriage. Our two families are both famous families and are also well-matched. However, we have to discuss this marriage with our parents, right? In principle, I agree with my father, but I still have to discuss it with my father!"
"Then it's no problem!" Huang Rongtian said happily after hearing this.
After Huang Rongtian left, Li Tianjia told his father Li Zhicheng about Huang Rongjin's purpose. Of course, even Huang Rongtian said about the marriage. After hearing what Li Tianjia said, Li Zhicheng did not immediately make a statement. He is different from Huang Rongjin's father. Huang Rongjin's father Huang Xiaofei had already handed over most of the power to Huang Rongjin's hands, but Li Zhicheng did not. He still holds the decision-making power for all major events.
"Father, I think this matter is very beneficial to us!" Li Tianjia couldn't help but say when he saw that his father did not express his opinion.
"Do you like the girl of the Huang family?" Li Zhicheng saw through his son's thoughts at a glance.
"I..." Li Tianjia's face turned red. As his father said, he really fell in love with Huang Lele.
"Marriage is a big deal, and investment in Africa is even more important!" Li Zhicheng said slowly: "Although we have cooperated with General Carls, our personal relationship is not very close. Moreover, General Carls has taken office now, and now it is different from the past. My face may not work! The money that I have finally found cannot be given up just by my words, right?"
Li Tianjia nodded silently. Yes, what his father said is indeed the truth. After all, this is not a trivial matter.
"If we participate in this matter, there will definitely be benefits, but the key is whether it is cost-effective or not!" Li Zhicheng sighed and said, "If it is just cooperation, I might agree, but this marriage... you should know that once the marriage is done, then our Li family and the Huang family will sit in the same chariot and advance and retreat together... At that time, even if you want to escape, you will not be able to escape!"
"I understand..." Li Tianjia said: "Father, I won't think about it anymore."
"Haha, I didn't say that this matter was completely inappropriate!" Li Zhicheng said with some amusement when he saw his son's appearance: "Let me think about it, let me consider it and see if this matter is worth it or not. Then I will find time to talk to General Carls to see if I can buy my face!"
When General Carls conquered the world, he received financial support from Li Zhicheng. Although his current identity is not the same as before, General Carls is a nostalgic person. After hearing the call, he called Li Zhicheng, so he started greeting him enthusiastically.
However, when Li Zhicheng asked about the gold mine invested by the Huang family, he was a little embarrassed. Logically, he should give Li Zhicheng's face, but if he gives it, the money will be gone. So he hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, you also know that I just came to the stage and I have to use money everywhere... If..."
"I understand what you mean, but I will also participate in this gold mine in partnership, so I hope to reduce the rent in terms of some..." Li Zhicheng said.
