Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

"Minister Yin, what about the prospecting rights?"

Zhang Hao tentatively said.

Minister Yin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll report back to the higher-ups. As long as the price is right, the probability of passing is still very high."

"May I ask, how much money is suitable?"

"Zhang Dong, before answering this question, I also want to ask two questions."

Zhang Hao made a gesture of invitation on the spot: "You can just ask directly, I promise to know everything."

"I want to know...how many shareholders does your new company have? And the scale of investment?"

"Including me, there are a total of nine large and small shareholders, namely Guangdong Province Official, Mr. Ma of Penguin, Mr. Wang of Zhengwei Group, and Mr. Li of Dajiang Hutchison..."

Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Minister Yin.

"Zhang Dong, what you said is true?"

Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "Of course, I can't joke about this kind of thing."

"Hiss..." Minister Yin couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words, "Just these few people, it's amazing. To be honest, I never expected that your company has such an amazing background."

"This matter is mainly led by Governor Li, and it's just a coincidence on my side."

Zhang Hao explained casually.

Minister Yin took a deep breath, and then asked: "Where are the next ones? Who else?"

"There are also Mr. He from Meiの, Mr. Xu from Ruipeng Group, Mr. Yao from Oupai Home Furnishing, and Mr. Zheng from Zheng Dafu. Together, the nine companies have invested 2500 billion in the early stage. Will continue to inject capital." Zhang Hao said eloquently.

"It's too exaggerated. I can be 100% sure that your company's comprehensive strength will definitely rank among the top three among all the applicants." Minister Yin affirmed.

"Not necessarily." Zhang Hao shook his head, "Overseas Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially those big financial groups, each have hundreds of years of accumulation, which is beyond our comparison."

"Aren't you humble? Today is different from the past. As far as I know, among the large consortiums overseas, one of them generally suffered heavy losses in this wave of catastrophe. They are not as powerful as you imagined.

Besides, this is our home field, how can we allow them to act recklessly?I'm not afraid to tell you that at the meeting last night, Consul Ji made it clear that this auction should take care of our own people as much as possible. "

Zhang Hao said in surprise: "Operation in a black box? Is this okay?"

"Hey, you can't say that. This is called obeying the overall situation. As we all know, those big financial groups like to interfere in politics the most. Restricting them is good for everyone."

Yin Chang said earnestly.

"No, didn't you just say that they suffered heavy losses? What are you afraid of them doing?"

"No matter how heavy their losses are, they still have their background. Although their individual strength is limited, if they choose to join forces to advance and retreat, they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored, so it is best to prevent problems before they happen."

Zhang Hao's heart suddenly moved: "Minister Yin, if... I mean, if there is a war, which side will these big consortiums be on?"

"You guessed it?"

Minister Yin smiled gratifiedly and said meaningfully:
"There is no doubt that they will stand on the opposite side of us. This is a battle of core interests, and few people will betray their own class.

The reason why they have defected here now is that they have no idea and don't want to be affected by the war. After all, the strength of the Federation is obvious to all, and Pearl City cannot become a battlefield. "

"I see, it seems that it is indeed necessary to guard against them."

Zhang Hao finally understood the good intentions of the above.

Seriously speaking, he himself is actually one of them, but limited by the local environment and the tradition of suppressing business, he did not let the businessmen be the masters.

Minister Yin nodded in agreement, and then drank the coffee in his cup: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Please speak!"

"I think that instead of clinging to the prospecting rights, you might as well simply acquire large ready-made coal mines, which will be less risky and easier to develop and grow."

"Minister Yin, in fact, we have a backup plan. Just like you thought, we went directly to the Carmichael Coal Mine, but the goal is too big, and it may be difficult to compete." Zhang Hao shrugged helplessly.

"How can you not compete?"

Minister Yin blurted out.

Zhang Hao suddenly said in a bad mood: "Minister Yin, we Ming people don't speak dark words, there are so many local state-owned coal giants, don't you tell me that they are all vegetarians?"

"Cough cough..."

Minister Yin wanted to defend himself, but finally he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

In a word, facts speak louder than words!
"Minister Yin, I can understand the difficulties above. We don't have extravagant hopes for the Carmichael Coal Mine. We only hope to win the exploration rights in Tasmania."

"Zhang Dong, are you serious?"

"There is absolutely no lie." Zhang Hao said firmly.

"Can I ask why?"

Minister Yin said tentatively.

Zhang Hao has long thought of an excuse: "There is nothing we can't say, although our company is fairly well-funded, it is a new company and lacks experience.

Australia is just a place for me to accumulate experience. Our real goal is to go to the other side. When the team is really tempered, it is time for us to show our talents. "

"The other side? No wonder you can hold your breath!"

Minister Yin said suddenly.

If there is no Yellowstone Volcano, the other side is definitely the real "chosen place", not to mention the largest coal reserves in the Blue Star, one-third of which are still open-pit coal mines, and the mining difficulty is extremely low.

"Minister Yin, please help me."

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to plead.

Minister Yin did not hesitate at all: "Okay, this matter is on my shoulders. You first bid for the Avingal Valley Coal Mine. After the auction is over, I will find a way to help you apply for the prospecting rights."

"Thank you so much!" Zhang Hao said gratefully.

"You're welcome!" Minister Yin waved his hand, and then went straight to today's topic: "Mr. Zhang, I also want to ask you to help me with something. I shouldn't bother you about this matter, but I really want to There is no way out, I can only do one thing without doing two things..."

"You don't think about whale meat again, do you?"

Zhang Hao said bitterly.

Before coming, he was mentally prepared.

Minister Yin shook his head, and said casually: "There is no way, the plan is not changing quickly, and you also know that there may be a war in the next year, and supplies will be very tight, especially food. I am planning for a rainy day."

"Then you can't catch a sheep? Don't you think there are no other channels for the dignified Ministry of Energy?"

Zhang Hao really didn't know what to say!

"I don't deny that there are indeed other channels."

Minister Yin picked up the coffee pot, refilled a cup of coffee for the other party, and then explained:
"If it's just ordinary food, we can solve it ourselves, but there is really no way for meat. First, there is a large demand, and second, there are few sources. In short, it is too difficult."

Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, and then asked bravely, "How much do you want this time?"

"This number."

Minister Yin held out a finger.

"A thousand tons?"

The last time I asked for [-] tons, this time I doubled it, which barely makes sense.

Minister Yin showed a hint of embarrassment, and the lion opened his mouth on the spot: "It's [-] tons."

"How much? [-] tons? Guys, it's been doubled twenty times. Do you really not take WFP seriously?"

Zhang Hao's scalp felt numb instantly, and he almost jumped up.

"Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, this is the last time your company goes to sea. It's like a one-shot deal. If you miss this village, you won't have this store. If you have a chance, of course, try to get as much as possible back."

"But this is too much!"

Zhang Hao shook his head.

Minister Yin hurriedly argued: "The number is indeed a little higher, but it's not too much. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the WFP. I'll settle it."

"Minister Yin, to be honest, I'm a little scared... you should let our Southeast Fishery go?"

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and refused.

He admitted that he was scared and didn't want to take any more risks.

Even if you lose the prospecting right for this, you will not hesitate.

"Zhang Dong, you are still young, you might as well be more courageous, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Minister Yin encouraged.

"Minister Yin, it's really not going to work this time, [-] tons is really too exaggerated. Once someone finds out, we both have to go in. It's not worth it."

Zhang Hao tried to persuade him.

He really didn't understand why the other party took the risk?

According to common sense, as an official employee, one usually does not seek meritorious deeds, but seeks no faults, and it is simply too abnormal for Minister Yin to ask for trouble and be willing to take risks.

Minister Yin also knew that this matter had a lot to do with it, so he couldn't be in a hurry, so he wanted to stabilize the other party first:

"Zhang Dong, you misunderstood, things are not what you think, let's talk slowly."

Of course, Zhang Hao had to save face, so he took the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart: "Minister Yin, I want to find out now, what is your reason for doing this?"

"The reason is simple, I am preparing for the future."

"What do you mean? I don't understand?"

Zhang Hao frowned unconsciously.

Minister Yin stood up from the sofa, turned around and came to the window, looking at the dark "night sky" outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh:
"A troubled autumn!"

"Minister Yin, don't be a fool."

Zhang Hao followed to the window and urged.

Minister Yin nodded slightly, his expression suddenly became serious: "Mr. Zhang, I saw an internal document some time ago. Guess what it is?"

"How do I know that?" Zhang Hao shook his head.

"It's about the Yellowstone volcano." Minister Yin didn't go around in circles this time, and directly stated the content of the document: "According to the latest survey results, the impact of the Yellowstone volcano eruption has far exceeded expectations. Chances are it will last 100+ years."

"Year 100?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Even though he had prepared for the worst, when the result was in front of him, it was still unacceptable, and he couldn't suppress his negative emotions for a while.

You must know that decades and hundreds of years are completely different concepts. If it is true what the other party said, then he will never want to bask in the sun again in his life.

Minister Yin said with a serious face: "At first I didn't want to talk about it. After all, this matter is highly confidential. Once it is made public, the consequences will be unpredictable. The higher-ups also expressly prohibit rumors..."

In order to be able to convince the other party, he no longer cared about organizational discipline at this time, and the other party was not an ordinary person, and he would know it sooner or later.

"Minister Yin, don't worry, I will keep it strictly confidential and will not disclose this matter to anyone."

Zhang Hao was very knowledgeable and solemnly promised.

"Thank you very much." Minister Yin nodded, and then sighed: "Mr. Zhang, this is why I am willing to take risks. You might as well think about it for yourself. If the current life really takes 100 years, How desperate is that?"

"Then you can't make fun of your career? I believe that no matter how good the Ministry of Energy is, it's impossible for the employees to starve."

The strong popularity of future official employees is not without reason.

"Mr. Zhang, you underestimated the seriousness of this matter." After speaking, Minister Yin opened two windows, allowing the cold air from outside to rush in.

Zhang Hao subconsciously tightened his coat, and asked on the spot:

"Minister Yin, what do you mean by that?"

"Zhang Dong, you are not a member of the system, so you may not be very clear about it. Once this disaster lasts for hundreds of years, it will really be close to the end of the world.

At that time, what we need to face... is a rationing system that is [-] times stricter than that during the Civil War.

At that time, regardless of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or ordinary people, everyone will starve together without exception. This is what I am most worried about. "

Minister Yin explained patiently.

There are some things that he can't say too much, and it's impossible to tell the other party without reservation.

Zhang Hao's heart tightened suddenly. Although these things didn't happen in the dream, it didn't mean they wouldn't happen in reality. It might be because of the butterfly effect. The real world seemed to have changed the timeline again.

However, he still found some doubts:
"Minister Yin, even if what you said is correct, it will be something to worry about decades later. It is too early to prepare now, isn't it?"

Minister Yin simply replied: "Do you think there will be such a good opportunity in the future?"

"But [-] tons is too much... Even if you get your wish, do you dare to take out so much whale meat openly? Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?"

"We're not that stupid."

"I'm curious, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhang Hao asked again.

"Mr. Zhang, there are many uninhabited islands in the sea. We can choose any one as a warehouse. Some of them will be digested slowly with time."

Minister Yin has long thought of a countermeasure.

Zhang Hao couldn't refute: "Okay, I'm still asking the original question, what about your official career? Really don't want it?"

"Ahem..." Minister Yin coughed a few times accidentally, blowing the cold wind, "Mr. Zhang, the fact is just the opposite. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. There are so many pairs of eyes in an important department like the Ministry of Energy." Stare at me, I only have to prepare a few more hole cards before I can really secure the position under my butt."

Zhang Hao quickly closed the window, followed by a few minutes of silence, and now the pressure was all on his side.

Seeing this, Minister Yin tried his best to comfort him: "Mr. Zhang, you don't need to rush to make a decision. It's still early. Just give me an answer before the fleet returns."

"Minister Yin, can't you have less?"

Zhang Hao tried to discuss.

"[-] tons is really not much. After all, it has to be managed for many years, and less will be of little use." Minister Yin waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer when I think about it later." Zhang Hao could only use the dragging tactic.

Minister Yin finally showed a smile, and then put on a generous look:
"Zhang Dong, don't worry, even if things fail, it won't affect our relationship."

"Hehe, I feel much more relaxed after hearing what you said." Zhang Hao smiled cooperatively.

Of course this cannot be taken seriously.
