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

At this moment, Zhang Dong, who had been feigning surprise, quickly stood up.

"President Zhang, there's no other way. Our mine has developed jade ore, but we want to expand the scale without funds. Loans have been rejected, so we can only resort to this low-price sales method."

"Make these jade stones into small ornaments and sell them on the street..."

"Oh, I see."

After hearing Zhang Dong's explanation, Zhao Guangnian suddenly understood.

“I thought my daughter had bought stolen goods, so I came to check because those trinkets were all made of fine jade and were great value for money.”

"I never imagined that your mine was forced into a corner, which is why you resorted to this kind of sales measure."

Zhang Dong nodded helplessly: "That's right, President Zhao. I was rejected when I applied for a loan from your bank before. I had no choice but to continue with the previous sales method."

"After all, there are still many miners in my mine who need to be paid. They also have families to support. We are forced into this situation."

Zhang Dong was playing the empathy card at this moment, lamenting that life is hard and no one has it easy.

After hearing Zhang Dong's感慨 (sentiments/remarks), Zhao Guangnian fell silent.

But soon he burst out laughing.

"Haha, what a coincidence."

“Our bank has encountered similar situations before, where some unscrupulous businessmen have tried to defraud our bank of loans by using abandoned mines as collateral.”

"Once bitten, twice shy. After being deceived, our bank has increased the scrutiny of large loans. This is a last resort."

"After all, nobody wants to give money to scammers."

"But unexpectedly, this has blocked the loan channels for mines like yours that are truly capable and promising."

"I never expected that the jade ore you developed was of such high quality, yet you couldn't expand your operations due to funding issues."

Zhao Lingling, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.

Her father had initially thought the young man selling trinkets was a thief secretly selling stolen goods, but it turned out he was actually a mine owner.

"Dad, I didn't expect you two to know each other."

Seeing the astonished look on his daughter's face, Zhao Guangnian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“That’s right, we do know each other. He came to our bank for a loan before, but I refused. I didn’t expect to run into him here. What a coincidence.”

"Come, come, come to my house, have a seat, and have a cup of tea."

Upon hearing the bank manager extend an invitation, Zhang Dong naturally wouldn't refuse.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

I never expected that I would be so lucky; I succeeded by simply waiting for the rabbit to run into my trap.

"Oh, bank manager, since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept your offer..."

At the home of bank president Zhao Guangnian, Zhang Dong and he had a very pleasant conversation.

Through conversation, Zhang Dong discovered that this bank president, Zhao Guangnian, also had in-depth knowledge of jade.

"I never expected that President Zhao had such in-depth knowledge of jade. He is truly admirable."

Zhao Guangnian laughed heartily upon hearing this: "You flatter me, I was just playing around."

"Oh, bank manager, you're not just messing around. I could tell just now that you have a deep understanding of jade. I'm not just flattering you."

Zhao Guangnian burst into laughter again.

"Thank you for the compliment. I just collect jade in my spare time."

Zhang Dong nodded: "I didn't expect President Zhao to have such a refined hobby."

"In that case, I have many jade ornaments here, so I'll give them all to you. Thank you for your hospitality, Director Zhao."

"What, you're giving them all to me? That won't do." Bank Manager Zhao looked surprised. "Besides, I didn't entertain you; I only offered you a cup of tea."

Zhang Dong laughed heartily: "This is considered hospitality."

As he spoke, Zhang Dong resolutely stood up and left all the raw stones and jade products in the cloth bag to Director Zhao without hesitation.

Zhao Guangnian insisted on not accepting it.

But how could Zhang Dong possibly take these things back?

Without hesitation, he turned around and left President Zhao's house.

With the help of Bank Manager Zhao, Zhang Dong's loan was fully in place a few days later.

Zhang Dong was overjoyed to have successfully secured the loan. He never expected that he would solve such a huge problem in this way.

With these loans in hand, everything else will be much easier.

They could also buy up large quantities of secondhand equipment from other mines that had gone bankrupt and were now idle...

Meanwhile, at Wang Jianguo's home.

At this moment, his face was gloomy.

"What did you say? That bastard Zhang Dong has brought in large-scale equipment to develop a new mine? Where did he get so much money?"

After reporting the situation, the lackey grinned and said, "Boss, as far as I know, this money was a loan he took out."

"Damn it, this guy is going to take out a loan to keep developing the mine."

"This is infuriating!"

"How could such a tiny mine, no bigger than a sparrow, possibly have so many mineral deposits?"

"Did you make a mistake?"

Upon hearing the boss question this, the lackey in front of him quickly answered.

"Boss, we've heard that the mine you gave him has very rich mineral reserves."

"During this period, Zhangdong has attracted many outside customers and partners because it has purchased advanced equipment and the mine contains abundant mineral resources."

"Now his business is booming."

"Honghuo's grandma—"

Wang Jianguo was furious; at that moment, he was filled with remorse.

This suddenly reminded him that Zhang Dong had carefully studied the map he had given him before finally choosing that particular mine.

When he saw that Zhang Dong had chosen one of his abandoned mines, he didn't think much of it.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder how the other party knew that the abandoned mine had such rich mineral reserves.

Could he possibly be a prophet?

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and think of a way to deal with that bastard!"

"Damn it, I just don't want to see him achieve anything great."

Wang Jianguo may not realize the immense threat that Zhangdong's rapid development has posed to his mineral sales.

When they heard their boss ask them to come up with a way to deal with Zhang Dong, these lackeys grinned as if they had eaten eight bitter melons.

"Boss, this Zhang Dong is really hard to deal with. A while ago, Young Master Wang caused trouble at his place, and this bastard even tried to run Young Master Wang over..."

Hearing his subordinate say that, Wang Jianguo sighed helplessly.

He knew all too well that Zhang Dong was a difficult opponent.
