Chapter 1418 Gold Price War

Chapter 1419 Gold Price War
Inside the testing room.

It was already 3 p.m. when Ci arrived.

Qin Hao really couldn't stand this person; he was wasting too much of his time.

If it weren't for the need to use the Gold Price Bureau this time, he would have preferred that the two never have anything to do with each other again.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry."

"This is our rule, and we hope you can understand."

Pierre even feigned concern to soothe Qin Hao's emotions.

As he spoke, Pierre's assistant was repeatedly checking the data on the computer screen.

However, Pierre's assistant kept his brow furrowed and muttered something from time to time.

The test results of the newly collected samples from the mine were exactly the same as the initial data provided by Qin Hao.

Even the smallest impurities are completely matched.

This should be extremely unlikely.

At least, he has never encountered this before in all the tests he has undergone.

It was faked?
However, counterfeiting will be detected 100%.

But if it's not counterfeited, the high purity of this stuff completely overturns people's previous understanding of gold.

He couldn't help but look up at Pierre, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"what happened?"

Pierre asked, frowning.

This was the first time he had ever seen his assistant like this.

"The purity has reached 90.3% through this machine. Not only that, but the content of its associated elements is less than 0.01%. This is terrifying."

The assistant's voice was somewhat hoarse, and tinged with a hint of excitement.

"Mr. Qin's mining area... does indeed have such high-quality gold."

"So, does that mean my place could become synonymous with gold purity?"

Qin Hao laughed heartily, quite pleased to see Pierre's grim expression.

It's this effect.

Qin Hao had originally considered whether or not to recruit the other party into his ranks.

Ultimately, the gold price bureau needs its own people to oversee things, which will make things easier for them in the future.

He currently holds gold mines, gold, and underground bases. If he wants to circulate these things openly, he needs the approval of the Gold Price Bureau.

The only regrettable thing is that someone was bribed before, but that person's position was not high enough to make some key decisions.

If he offered a little something in return, Pierre might just become one of his men.

However, Qin Hao has not yet figured out this person's identity.

If Charlie finishes his investigation and confirms that it has nothing to do with those forces hostile to Qin Hao, he might choose to bribe them directly.

It's just a matter of spending some money, which is nothing to Qin Hao.

Pierre remained silent, unconsciously tapping his calf with the document.

If Qin Hao hadn't noticed that the other person was sitting in the chair the whole time, he would have really thought that Pierre's calves were sore from standing for too long.

He had originally hoped to find some flaws in the samples, even minor fluctuations in composition, which could serve as an excuse to delay pricing.

But now, the machines and data in front of him were like an impenetrable iron plate, leaving him no gaps.

This is a good thing for Qin Hao, but not necessarily for Pierre.

Qin Hao sat on the sofa opposite, seemingly flipping through the Gold Price Bureau's assessment manual, but his eyes were constantly watching Pierre's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Let him enjoy it a little longer, and appreciate the man's expression; it's simply wonderful.

It's like someone you've always hated suddenly leaving one day; the rotten apple in a pot of delicious soup is finally gone.

You'll feel much more relaxed from now on.

When he saw the other person slow down their typing speed, he knew that the timing was right.

“Mr. Pierre”.

Qin Hao closed the manual, his tone calm, a hint of amusement on his face.

“Actually, I understand your caution. After all, gold of such high purity is extremely rare worldwide.”

He changed the subject and looked out the window toward the mining area.

"But as you can see, our mining process and testing standards are strictly implemented in accordance with international norms, and even... are more stringent than the norms."

"You should know that we have made a lot of efforts to meet the Gold Price Board's requirements."

This statement was also meant to give Pierre, or more strictly speaking, to give the Gold Price Board some face.

Otherwise, if Qin Hao hadn't made any preparations and relied solely on his own product, wouldn't that be a public embarrassment?
Among the gold supplied to the Gold Price Bureau, very few can match Qin Hao's purity.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Charlie pushed the door open and came in, holding a document in his hand, his face showing just the right amount of anxiety.

"Boss, the electrician said the power grid has been repaired, but the tripping just now burned out two detectors, which need to be recalibrated."

He deliberately raised his voice to make sure Pierre could hear him clearly, "I've already asked the logistics department to contact the manufacturer, and it should be delivered tomorrow."

Qin Hao frowned, his tone carrying a hint of reproach that was barely perceptible.

"Understood. Tell them to handle it as soon as possible so as not to affect the subsequent mining progress."

This scene, as seen by Pierre, further solidified the impression that it was "just a minor malfunction."

As he watched Charlie's hurried departure, the last vestiges of doubt in his heart gradually dissipated.

If something serious really happened at the underground base, Qin Hao's assistant would definitely not only be concerned about the two detection devices.

What he didn't know was that this was all an act deliberately staged by Qin Hao.

He needed Pierre to see this and then believe what he said.

Otherwise, this stalemate will continue.

Qin Hao really didn't want to waste any more time in front of this person.

Moreover, Charlie's urgent demeanor suggests that something must have really happened at the underground base.

This is not good news for Qin Hao; he needs to deal with it quickly.

"Mr. Qin's management is indeed rigorous."

Pierre finally broke the silence, his tone carrying a hint of approval.

"Since no problems can be found in the samples, the Gold Price Board has no reason to delay."

He stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Qin, you are welcome to come to the Gold Price Bureau at 10:00 AM tomorrow so we can formally discuss the specific terms of the benchmark price." No matter how much he tried to stall, it was no use.

This time, we arrived at Qin Hao's location, and there were no problems at any stage.

Purity, future mining capacity, qualifications, etc., all meet the requirements of the Gold Price Board.

The only downside was that this was the one where Pierre made the least, if any, profit.

Qin Hao stood up in response, and the two clasped hands in the air.

"Thank you very much, sir. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Pierre could clearly feel that Qin Hao's palms were dry, steady, and full of strength, without the slightest trace of panicked sweat.

This composure forced him to reassess the strength of this young opponent.

He will temporarily put aside any plans to profit from the situation.

If Qin Hao is sensible and sends the money over, Pierre will expedite the gold price bureau's announcement.

Besides, he also wanted to possess such a high concentration of gold.

Moreover, it's something you can acquire effortlessly.

"I will be there on time tomorrow," Qin Hao said, emphasizing each word.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After seeing off the people from the Gold Price Bureau, Qin Hao immediately turned and walked towards the communications room behind the command tent.

Charlie was already waiting there, his anxious expression gone, replaced by a hint of excitement.

"Boss, how did that performance go? Pierre, that old fox, clearly believed it."

"Alright, you have a talent for acting. I think you're really wasting your potential here. How about I find you a film company and you can go act?"

Qin Hao joked with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Qin is joking. I'm more suited to being a nobody by your side. I don't really like things that require me to show off."

Charlie changed the subject and asked, "So, did you pass the Gold Price Bureau's assessment this time?"

Qin Hao didn't answer directly, but instead picked up the satellite phone and dialed Ailiya's number.

A faint static could be heard on the other end of the phone, mixed with Ali's deep voice reporting.

"Mr. Qin, we have reinforced the third layer of defense with a special alloy mesh, and that thing has not made any move for the time being."

"But the vibrations deep within the vein are still continuing, and we currently have a suspicion that this thing is trying to go somewhere."

"Have Engineer Wang keep a close eye on things; we must stabilize the situation completely by tomorrow morning."

Qin Hao lowered his voice, "I'll go to the Gold Price Bureau to discuss pricing; the mining area will be left to you."

"At this stage of my journey, I do not wish to see any negative changes, nor do I wish to make any noise."

If any rumors emerge during this period, and the gold price bureau senses it, then Qin Hao will lose the initiative.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Charlie, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"It's such a pity you're not an actor. You acted really well just now, but when you said you burned out the detector, your tone was a bit too hasty, and you almost gave yourself away."

"I wanted you to go to the film company so that you could hone your skills there. You're still thinking about showing off? Dream on."

Charlie scratched his head and chuckled, "I'm just worried that Pierre might get suspicious."

"By the way, there's been some new activity from Douglas. After meeting with Hellfire last night, he flew back to Wall Street early this morning. I guess he's planning to make his move in the financial markets."

"As expected."

Qin Hao walked to the map, glanced at the route, and then said thoughtfully.

"Since he can't get physical gold, he wants to make a profit from gold price fluctuations. The financial market is his familiar battlefield; he may not be able to achieve good results elsewhere."

Immediately, his eyes sharpened. "Once the benchmark price is set tomorrow, I will let him know who is in charge of gold prices."

Night fell once again over the mining area, but the entrance to the underground base was brightly lit.

Ali and his team are laying new high-voltage lines. This time, Qin Hao gave a strict order, and no one dared to slack off.

At the very least, we need to ensure that no bad news comes out during these few days at the gold price bureau.

Otherwise, by then, no matter how much Qin Hao says, it will be useless.

Losing a qualification would give the Gold Price Board the ability to reassess its forecasts.

Qin Hao couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Arya stood in front of the makeshift monitoring station, watching the screen as everyone acted according to plan, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She picked up the walkie-talkie and rubbed her tired temples.

"Hao, things are stable here for now, you can go to the Gold Price Bureau with peace of mind."

Qin Hao's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Be careful, don't fight recklessly."

"You've worked hard these past few days. After this is done, you can take a good rest for a few days, and then I'll take you out to have some fun."

"Really?" Arya's voice immediately became excited when she heard the last few words.

She had always wanted to go on her honeymoon with Qin Hao and travel the world.

Although she was a little princess, she gradually changed after being with Qin Hao.

Knowing that this was a crucial moment, she not only didn't pester Qin Hao to play or make trouble, but also helped him accomplish the career he wanted to achieve.

No wonder people say that behind every successful man is an indispensable woman.

"Of course it's true."

Qin Hao smiled indulgently, then added a word of advice.

"Remember to get a good rest tonight, and don't sneak off to the site to keep an eye on things anymore."

"Understood." Aria hung up the phone, staring into the darkness deep within the mine, and gripped the geological hammer in her hand tightly.

It holds the potential to disrupt the market, but also hidden dangers.

Many people know about this purity and understand what it means, therefore, they all covet it.

But as long as Qin Hao can establish himself in the gold price arena, it will all be worth it.

Those who coveted it ultimately failed.
