Chapter 1398 Gold Mine?

Chapter 1399 Gold Mine?
As night fell, cobalt prices on the London Stock Exchange suddenly plummeted.

This is something that many people did not expect.

This has led to many traders paying close attention, fearing they might miss a chance to make a fortune.

Sophia stood in the Leclerc Group's monitoring center, watching the long bar of green numbers flashing by, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"very good."

"I just don't believe you can keep having this much good luck."

The people she was referring to were naturally Qin Hao and Ailiya.

She always believed that these two people were just too lucky, which led to the current situation.

Just then, the phone on the desk vibrated and then rang.

The screen above displays the Hellfire leader's satellite number.

Sofia hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

Actually, she really didn't want to answer the call right now, because she was sure it would bring bad news.

But there's no way around it; she still has to manage the people under her command.

Even if her subordinates exist, they are still her own people in the end.

She also wanted to work with some very capable people, just like Aria.

This way, even if it doesn't achieve twice the result with half the effort, it can still be like adding wings to a tiger, making people envious.

Besides, he's so handsome.

Among the wealthy, some are charismatic, others are handsome; in short, money is their foundation and their advantage.

This society has become distorted; it no longer relies on clothes.

You're the richest man in the world. Even if you're wearing a tank top, people will line up to call you "husband."

"Madam, Qin Hao's drilling team has broken through the eastern mining area."

The voice on the other end of the phone was panting, and there was a hint of discomfort in it.

"Their engineering vehicles were equipped with machine guns, and our patrol teams couldn't stop them at all, nor did they dare to."

The fact that they didn't directly say we were no match was already very polite.

To put it bluntly, they were no match for them, and the equipment on both sides was not even in the same league. How could they possibly stop them?

"waste!"

Sofia had already guessed the ending, but she still couldn't accept it.

She hung up the phone and slammed her coffee cup onto the screen.

Anger erupted.

I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!

Why was Ailiya so lucky to meet such a powerful ally as Qin Hao?

On the contrary, she herself had already tried very hard and believed that she was no worse than Aria, but she was unable to control everything.

Things were still not back on track, and she was powerless to turn the tide.

There must be another way, another thing we can do.

……

At this moment, on the Katanga Plateau, Qin Hao was standing in front of the newly blasted mine shaft.

Several technicians have already gone down. Aria wanted to go down too, but he stopped her.

Although there are many of their people around, and there's no guarantee that nothing will happen, it's better to be safe than sorry.

If something were to really happen, Qin Hao would not be able to accept it.

Aria handed over a test report, her little face serious, as if she were different from the little princess before.

"The cobalt content exceeded expectations, but Hellfire laid mines in the downstream river channel, blocking the transportation route."

Qin Hao took the report; the edges of the paper shone brightly under the miner's lamp, appearing semi-transparent.

"This is not a difficult task. Just send Alibaba's people to clear the mines."

"Also, have someone tell Charlie to close out half of our long positions. I want Sophia to think we can't hold on any longer."

This is a clever way to give the enemy an opportunity, but in reality, it's a trap.

If the other party can fall into this trap, it will save Qin Hao a lot of trouble. If not, it doesn't matter. He has other methods and it's not the only solution.

Qin Hao suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Ailiya's ear.

"Tomorrow, have the construction team erect a billboard outside the mine that is exclusively for the Devil's Throat Phase II project."

Aria's ears turned slightly red, and she felt a tingling sensation all over her body, as if she had been stimulated by an electric current.

"Are you trying to make Leclerc think we're abandoning this place?"

"Not at all."

Qin Hao gazed at the campfire at the Hellfire camp in the distance, "I want them to know that we not only want to take down Katanga, but also turn the Devil's Throat into a stabilizing force for global cobalt prices."

Three days later, a piece of news shocked the global mining industry.

Qin Hao's company signed an agreement with the government of the Gok Diet, exchanging ten years of mining rights in the Devil's Throat for a transportation monopoly on the Katanga Plateau.

Cobalt prices on the London Stock Exchange surged in response, and Leclerc's short positions instantly suffered a paper loss of two billion US dollars.

Sofia smashed the last antique vase in the office.

She completely broke down.

In just a few days, all my years of hard work were lost.

On the monitor screen, Qin Hao and Ailiya were standing in front of the newly built ore dressing plant, with a huge sign for Qin's Mining behind them.

On the other hand, Qin Hao's situation has been steadily improving. Now that he has signed this agreement, he no longer needs to worry about the stock market, as he has official backing.

"Madam, news has come from Hellfire that they are willing to defect."

The assistant's voice trembled as he spoke.

"But they demanded that we pay a pledge of fifty million US dollars."

Sofia stared at Qin Hao's outstretched hand on the screen, where Aria was placing a cobalt ore in his palm.

She suddenly burst out laughing, the sound echoing in the empty office.

Tell them that the money can be given.

"But Qin Hao needs to know that the prey never knows which bush the hunter is hiding in."

So it's clear that Sofia has been driven to desperation and is resorting to any means necessary. As long as she can deal with Qin Hao, she doesn't care who her allies are.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled explosion came from deep within the mine.

Qin Hao gripped the cobalt ore in his palm; its cool touch felt so familiar.

Arya's walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and Charlie's voice sounded urgent.

"Boss, Leclerc's fleet has appeared at the mouth of the Zambezi River; they're trying to seize our shipping lanes!"

Qin Hao looked at Ailiya, whose eyes showed no sign of panic.

"Grandpa's fleet will be able to intercept them in fifteen minutes."

"Do not."

Qin Hao pressed his hand on her shoulder, lost in thought. A plan had already formed in his mind.

"Let them pass."

“Charlie, launch a new plan. I want the whole world to know that the Leclerc Group is smuggling minerals from conflict zones.”

"Yes."

The roar of transport helicopters grew louder as they approached.

Arya gazed at the charming man, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his cheek, the kiss still damp with mineral dust.

“You said you would dedicate your life to that analyzer, so I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

This sweet talk came out of nowhere, but it wasn't without warning.

Many people could see that the two fell in love at first sight, especially after going through so much together.

Qin Hao touched the spot where he had been kissed; the cobalt ore in his palm felt as if it were burning hot, as hard as iron.

He smiled faintly, "How about we turn the entire cobalt market into a testament to our lives?"

Meanwhile, at the monitoring station on the edge of the mine, Lao Wang, the engineer on duty, was checking the data.

He sometimes frowned, and sometimes he couldn't help but close his eyes, which looked quite strange.

Even his companions thought Old Wang was sick.

"Old Wang, have you been too tired these past few days? Why don't you go and rest? You look like you've lost your soul."

"I'm not tired, but I've noticed some very strange phenomena."

As he spoke, Old Wang shared his experiences from the past few days with the other person.

He felt that some of the values ​​were abnormal these past few days.

A faint yet persistent metallic characteristic, like a firefly hidden in the weeds, appears and disappears intermittently.

Whenever Lao Wang tried to dig deeper, the faint gold element would disappear, but each time he checked the NMR data, the hydrogen element would slowly reappear.

He desperately wanted to capture that touch of gold, hoping that unexpected discoveries might be made in that blank space.

"Engineer Wang, it's time for your shift to end."

The voice of a young assistant came from outside the door.

Old Wang didn't move, his fingers flew across the keyboard, amplifying the data three times.

His companions watched intently, seemingly dumbfounded.

The characteristic peak suddenly became clear; although its intensity was weak, it bore the typical marks of native gold associated minerals.

So now it's certain.

He gripped the mouse tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Resend borehole core samples numbers 24 to 40 to the lab! Urgent!"

His companions understood the importance of these words and immediately did as they were told.

Three hours later, the laboratory door was kicked open.

The young assistant held up the report, his voice trembling.

"Engineer Wang! Sample number 30... contains 0.8 grams of gold per ton!"

"The associated sulfide structure suggests that it may be a marginal vein of a large gold mine!"

Old Wang snatched the report, his pupils darting around as he looked up and down at the displayed content.

When he saw the final report, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but gasp.

A cutoff grade of 0.8 grams per ton means that there is a high probability that a medium-sized or larger gold mine is hidden underground.

The main body of the Devil's Throat vein is cobalt ore, which is like building a cobalt warehouse on top of a gold mine!
He grabbed the encrypted phone and dialed directly to the mine command center.

"President Qin! A major anomaly has been discovered! Borehole number 30... may contain a gold mine!"

In the command center, Qin Hao was marking key points on a map of the Katanga Plateau when he heard this and suddenly looked up.

Aria leaned closer to look at the report, her amber eyes instantly lighting up.

"A gold-cobalt associated mineral? This is extremely rare in geological history!"

"Yes, this is a gold mine. We've never seen one like it in all this time. Looks like today is a lucky day." Qin Hao nodded with a smile.

Charlie whistled, looking nonchalant.

"If the vein is continuous, based on this grade, the reserves are at least fifty tons. We're going to make a fortune this time."

Although gold has always been a very stable currency in the world, hoarding gold is always a good idea, both in the past and now.

In particular, the price of gold has been rising in recent years and has been on an upward trend.

Fifty tons! Enough to triple the value of the devil's throat.

Qin Hao lightly tapped the document on the table, glanced at the construction vehicles working outside the window, and began to give orders.

"Have Lao Wang lead his men to extend the exploration northwestward along borehole number 30 and increase the borehole density."

"Keep the news under wraps. All samples and data must go through the highest level of security. Don't let anyone know."

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Even without this gold mine, there are still many people who would want it.

Aria had already picked up her helmet. "I'll go and keep an eye on things on-site."

"Associated elements in gold mines may affect the cobalt ore refining process, requiring a readjustment of the process."

Qin Hao watched as she deftly fastened her helmet strap, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"be careful."

"Also, have the exploration team bring a portable spectrometer. Don't damage it again; this instrument is ten times more expensive."

Aria blushed, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and turned to leave.

"Long-winded!"

As he watched her figure disappear through the doorway, Charlie suddenly lowered his voice.

"Boss, the remnants of Blackstone have just made moves on the Zambian border, probing our exploration progress."

Qin Hao's gaze turned cold as he focused on the location of the Katanga Plateau on the map.

"Once the news of the gold mine leaks out, those hyenas will only become more frenzied."

"Alright, let the Hyena Commando Team deploy in the northwest exploration area."

He pointed to a red dot on the map, which was the core area where the gold mine might extend.

It happens to border the territory controlled by the Hellfire Mercenary Group.

"In the game of chess on the Katanga Plateau, you have to make your moves early."
