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

Seeing the worried looks on his parents' faces, Zhang Dong came up with his own solution.

"Mom and Dad, I've just thought about it, and I've decided not to buy any new equipment or facilities."

Zhang Guangming and Qin Xianglan were both taken aback when they heard their son say these words.

“Son, you can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Our mine needs to develop faster. How can we extract the ore from underground without buying equipment and facilities?”

Seeing his parents' anxious expressions, Zhang Dong gave them a faint smile.

"My idea is to find those closed mines and buy some second-hand equipment. That way, the price will be cheaper and we won't be easily scammed."

"Yes, that's a good idea." Qin Xianglan was the first to stand up and support it.

"Hehe, my son's mind works really fast. I just thought you were being stubborn and not expanding the business."

"Haha, how could that be?" Zhang Dong laughed.

Zhang Guangming, who was standing to the side, also agreed with Zhang Dong's idea: "Son, this is really good, and it can save a lot of money."

Hearing his father mention money, Zhang Dong couldn't help but grin.

His father hit the nail on the head.

Now he wants to expand the scale of the mine, and there are many places where he needs to spend money.

Although developing the mine was quite profitable, he was still struggling to make ends meet due to the need to expand the scale of operations.

Next, he plans to proceed in two steps.

The first step is to ask some jade merchants you have connections with to introduce you to some reliable resources in this field.

They frequently deal with various mine development bosses, so they have much better access to information than they do themselves.

Another point is that Zhang Dong intends to completely resolve the funding problem.

As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny.

Borrowing money is definitely not realistic; everyone needs that right now.

Zhang Dong planned to go to a bank to get some loans.

However, this has to be done secretly, without my parents knowing. Otherwise, they'll probably have trouble sleeping at night after hearing that I've taken out such a large loan...

Inside the bank's lobby.

Upon hearing that Zhang Dong planned to borrow such a large amount, the bank staff shook their heads vigorously, like peddlers shaking their drums.

“Such a large amount is beyond the authority of our regular teller counters. You’ll need to talk to the bank manager, and you’ll also need collateral.”

Zhang Dong nodded: "I am investing in mining production to expand my business, so the loan amount is huge."

"Now I want to invest my mine. Can you tell me where the bank manager is?"

With the help of the staff, Zhang Dong found the bank manager and explained his intentions.

But as soon as Zhang Dong explained his purpose, the bank manager, Zhao Guangnian, shook his head without hesitation and refused.

"Stop it. You think you can get a loan just by mortgaging a mine? What are you thinking?"

"Now, many such cases have emerged across the country."

"It was originally an abandoned mine, but unscrupulous businessmen used it as collateral, resulting in the loan becoming unrecoverable, and all the bank ended up with was an abandoned mine..."

Zhang Dong was also a bit overwhelmed by the loan rejection; he even felt completely dazed.

The inability to obtain loans blocked his path to growth and expansion.

Of course, he also knew that this was the initial stage of social development, and there were countless scammers. No wonder banks were being so cautious, even with loans.

I'm just terrified of encountering scammers.

As a result, even though he wasn't a fraudster, he was still looked down upon.

He said many nice things, but the bank manager's tone was particularly firm.

"If you say no, then no. There's no need for you to stay here. Just go do what you're supposed to be doing."

Zhang Dong was very depressed after leaving the bank manager's office.

I'm a reborn person, how could I be stumped by this loan?

But now, society is entering a period of rapid development, everyone is short of money, and everyone wants to develop, so banks have become highly sought after, and even scammers have set their sights on banks.

For this reason, banks have become as cautious as an old lady with bound feet.

Since the loan application was rejected, could I find another way to achieve my goal? Could I reach Rome through other means and achieve the same objective by different paths?

Zhang Dong sat by the roadside, pondered for a moment, and thought of a way to solve the problem.

Since Zhao Guangnian believes he is a fraud, he'd better prove that he is not.

Next, Zhang Dong wandered aimlessly to the nearby jade market.

A small auction is being held on this jade street.

Zhang Dong noticed that all the items being auctioned were jade products.

Soon, he saw a woman in her thirties, adorned with jewels, buying a lot of jade in one go.

Zhang Dong also noticed that the quality of these jade stones was not as good as the jade stones mined from his own mine.

Those nearby, witnessing this scene, began to murmur amongst themselves: "No wonder she's President Zhao's daughter; she's incredibly wealthy. This time, she's once again won over so many jade products."

"I've heard that the jade they have in their home could fill a large jade exhibition."

What, Bank Manager Zhao's daughter?

Zhang Dong's eyes lit up instantly.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

If he took the jade from the mine to President Zhao's daughter and let her witness that he was not a fraud, he could prove that he was genuine.

If I get his daughter to put in a good word for me, will the loan be settled?

Thinking about all this, Zhang Dong became excited. He decided to take a roundabout approach to achieve his goal...

Without hesitation, Zhang Dong immediately returned to the mine, obtained several raw stones and jade carvings after cutting them, and waited in front of Director Zhao's daughter's house.

At this time, he dressed himself up as a small vendor.

People coming and going in this neighborhood saw Zhang Dong setting up a stall, and some curious people came over to ask him questions.

Zhang Dong waved his hand, dismissing them without hesitation.

What a joke! I'm just waiting for this to happen.

If all these products are sold to these citizens, then when Director Zhao's daughter comes out, he will have nothing to sell...

"Oh dear, this vendor actually hid his products in a cloth bag. When I asked him what he was selling, he didn't even respond. He's a lunatic."

When he heard someone in the crowd say that he was crazy, Zhang Dong just grinned but didn't explain.

He thought to himself, as long as he can wait for Director Zhao's daughter, let others say what they want.

Half a day later, Director Zhao's daughter led a five- or six-year-old boy out of the residential area.

Upon seeing that it was her, Zhang Dong quickly displayed his jade products.

At the same time, they started shouting loudly.

"Don't miss out! High-purity jade products, only 1 yuan per piece, excellent value for money."

Previously, Zhao Lingling, the daughter of the bank manager, had no interest in such roadside stalls.

Upon hearing the words "extremely high purity" and "jade products," they couldn't help but look over in surprise.
