Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

"Haha, what did you say? Black Tiger Village? A place where even rabbits don't poop. I've never heard of it before. And you're saying there's potential for mineral development there?"

"Young man, are you out of your mind to get rich quick?"

"Haha, that's right." The staff members next to them, seeing their director's excited face, also joined in the mocking frenzy.

"Young people all want to get rich, but it's really not easy to get rich."

An elderly geological surveyor stood up and patted him on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Cough cough." Zhang Dong didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by everyone as soon as he entered the Geological Exploration Bureau.

"Gentlemen, who decides whether there are any mineral deposits near Black Tiger Village?"

After Zhang Dong said these words, everyone in the room, including Director Ma, looked at each other in bewilderment.

He quickly realized, "Of course, the geological survey data has the final say."

Zhang Dong laughed: "That settles it. Now I'm paying you to go and investigate whether there are any mines in Black Tiger Village, yet you're mercilessly mocking me. I feel you're being a bit presumptuous..."

The geological survey team members were quite surprised to hear the young man speak so humbly and confidently.

They had assumed that this mockery would deter the young man from further action.

Unexpectedly, the other party argued their case logically and with solid evidence.

First, since they were paid to conduct the reconnaissance, they had no reason not to go.

Another point is that although they just mercilessly mocked Zhang Dong, he was right; the geological monitoring data does indeed have the final say…

Director Ma was still somewhat unwilling: "There's never been any known mineral deposits in Snail Village. Although you're very eloquent, I feel there's absolutely no need to go there to explore, and you don't need to waste unnecessary money..."

Even after Zhang Dong had said all that, Director Ma still made excuses and refused to agree, leaving Zhang Dong feeling quite helpless.

He thought to himself, why is it so difficult to accomplish something?

The previous Li Qingshan is now Director Ma of this geological exploration team.

Seeing that Zhang Dong remained silent, Director Ma gave a mocking sneer: "Why did you suddenly have this idea, wanting our geological exploration team to go there to explore? What makes you think there might be mineral deposits near Black Tiger Village?"

Upon hearing Director Ma's question, Zhang Dong's lips twitched.

He can't very well say that he's a time traveler. According to the plot, next year they'll discover that there are large jade deposits near Black Tiger Village.

After saying that, I'll probably be considered crazy and kicked out.

They had already treated him like a fool and mocked him.

“Well…” Zhang Dong pondered for a moment, “I judged it based on the characteristics of the terrain and landforms.”

"What, terrain and landforms?"

Upon hearing what the young man said, Director Ma's squinting eyes suddenly opened.

It has to be said, this kid seems to know a bit about minerals.

Generally speaking, in areas with complex geological structures and specific mineralization conditions, the formation of mines and mineral deposits is closely related to geological activities.

"The terrain of Black Tiger Village is quite complex. It has not only mountains, rivers, and riverbeds, but also undulating terrain."

"I feel that the long-term crustal movement and magmatic activity in these places have provided the necessary conditions for the formation of jade."

"It is based on these points that I made this judgment."

Director Ma was somewhat surprised to hear Zhang Dong say these words.

He then realized that although the young man in front of him was not old, he had relevant experience.

"Hahaha--"

Another loud laugh came from the side. This time, the one who laughed was a geological surveyor in his thirties wearing glasses.

"What a joke. There are plenty of places with this kind of terrain all over the country. And not all of these kinds of terrains will form mines. It's just a necessary condition, not a necessary one."

Seeing the other party arguing about this, Zhang Dong smiled faintly.

“Since it’s a necessary condition, and you’ve acknowledged it, then it means there’s still a possibility that mineral deposits exist in this area.”

"Oh, you're quite the smooth talker, good at catching people's slips of the tongue. But what good are sharp tongues if you have nothing to say..."

At this point, Director Ma also expressed his opinion: "Young man, go back to where you came from, don't waste everyone's time."

After hearing what he said, the other party still refused, and Zhang Dong became anxious.

If he knew the location of the jade mine in Black Tiger Village, why would he bother coming here to argue with them?

But now, without them, things really can't go on.

After all, Black Tiger Village covers a vast area, and if one wants to develop that place, one must accurately locate the underground jade mine...

Otherwise, it would be a huge waste of human and material resources.

"Director Ma, I'm serious. I still want to invite you over to conduct an exploration."

"Furthermore, if you go there and gain nothing, I will not only double your hiring fee, but I will also let you eat for free at my Great Wall Hotel for a year."

"No matter when you come to eat, it's free."

"What, the Great Wall Hotel?"

Upon hearing about the restaurant, the staff from the geological survey bureau immediately became interested.

"Ah, I remember now, this is a restaurant in a subordinate county town. We've been there several times. This Great Wall Restaurant is very famous, and its signature dishes are especially delicious."

Seeing the geological exploration personnel become animated when the topic of food came up, Zhang Dong was speechless.

"Director Ma, is this guarantee enough for me? I sincerely invite you to conduct an exploration."

"I'm putting my words here today: if this trip to Black Tiger Village fails to uncover any mineral deposits, I'm willing to accept the punishment..."

Zhang Dong's words completely shocked Director Ma and his subordinates.

"Young man, are you serious?"

“You know, our surveying fees aren’t cheap. Not only are you taking double, but you’re also letting us eat for free at your restaurant for a year. That’s quite a gamble.”

"Don't worry, I'm confident I won't lose."

As he said this, Zhang Dong smiled, showing no sign of stage fright.

He certainly wasn't intimidated.

Once these site survey teams get there, they'll probably be in for a surprise.

Now, Zhang Dong needs them to confirm the exact location of this jade mine.

Otherwise, blindly developing such a large area would be a huge waste of human and material resources...

"Haha, good. Since I see you're so sincere, I'm really looking forward to eating at your restaurant for free for a year. I just hope you won't say we're bureaucrats."
