Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Found the Gold_1

Shen Dong looked at the group messages and opened his contacts.

As a shareholder of Qianda Film and Television, he had saved the phone numbers of some senior executives at Qianda Film and Television so that he could call them when necessary.

Among these phone numbers was that of Xu Caijun, the general manager of Qianda Cinemas Chain.

He found Xu Caijun’s phone number and dialed it immediately.

Soon, the call connected.

"Hello, Mr. Shen," came Xu Caijun’s respectful voice over the phone.

Ever since Shen Dong had become a shareholder of Qianda Film and Television, the executives at the company all saved Shen Dong’s phone number, so they could answer promptly whenever he called.

They all knew that anyone who could become a shareholder of Qianda Film and Television, even with only a one percent share, was definitely not ordinary.

According to the registration information, this Shen Dong was also very young.

Such a person must have a profound background.

After a brief chat with Xu Caijun, Shen Dong hung up the phone and then sent a message in "The Battle Tiger" WeChat group: Mr. Wu, I just called Mr. Xu from Qianda Cinemas Chain to invite him to "The Battle Tiger"’s preview screening, and he agreed. He’ll call you later.

Han Deming: Damn, Mr. Shen, you’re awesome.

Du Zhenqi: I really didn’t expect, Mr. Shen, that you had this connection.

Fang Xing: With Mr. Shen’s word, I feel assured.

Loo Gang: Mr. Shen can even get Xu Caijun to call Wu Jin. "The Battle Tiger"’s box office success is secure.

Wu Jin and the other investors were shocked by the message Shen Dong sent.

Xu Caijun wouldn’t even give face to Du Zhenqi, but just one call from Shen Dong, and Xu Caijun was willing to phone Wu Jin. What kind of influence was that?

No matter what, Du Zhenqi is the boss of Splendid Film and Television.

Even now, as it’s been on the decline, the boss of Splendid Film and Television still carries some weight in the film industry.

Yet Xu Caijun wouldn’t even accept Du Zhenqi’s invitation.

However, when Shen Dong called Xu Caijun, he agreed to attend the preview and even took the initiative to call Wu Jin.

The influence of Shen Dong was simply unimaginable.

Everyone tactfully avoided asking about the relationship between Shen Dong and Xu Caijun.

This sort of thing, if Shen Dong wanted to talk about it, he would naturally do so. If not, asking would be useless and would make the asker seem impertinent.

Wu Jin: Mr. Shen, Mr. Xu from Qianda Cinemas Chain called me. He said he would attend "The Battle Tiger"’s preview screening. Thank you!

Shen Dong: Mr. Wu, no need to be so polite. I am an investor in "The Battle Tiger", contributing my part is only natural.

Wu Jin: Mr. Shen, the movie preview is on the thirtieth. You must come.

Shen Dong: I am still abroad. If I can make it back in time, I will attend.

Han Deming: Mr. Shen, are you traveling abroad?

Du Zhenqi: Mr. Shen, such a free spirit.

Fang Xing: Young people really know how to enjoy life.

Loo Gang: If I were as outstanding as Mr. Shen, I would also vacation abroad.

Shen Dong: It’s not what you guys are thinking; it’s business.

Shen Dong did not elaborate further. The gold mine project did not need to be disclosed.

Everyone very astutely did not inquire further.

Wu Jin: Okay.

Shen Dong put down his phone, only to hear a series of rapid knocks on the door.

When he went to open it, he saw Duan Jinnian standing excitedly at the doorway.

"Mr. Duan, you look so excited. Did you find gold?" Shen Dong’s eyes lit up as he guessed.

"Yes, Mr. Shen, we found it, we found the gold!" Duan Jinnian trembled with excitement.

"That’s fantastic. Come in first, and tell me about it." Shen Dong let Duan Jinnian in, poured him a glass of water, and signaled for him to take his time and explain.

Duan Jinnian took a sip of water and steadied his emotions before saying, "Mr. Shen, we’ve just struck gold. It’s confirmed to be at that location, but we’ll need more time to explore how much there is."

"That’s great." Shen Dong clapped his hands with joy, "Mr. Duan, thank you all."

It’s been over half a month since I arrived here, and we’ve finally found it.

"Mr. Shen, this is all part of our job. It’s us who should be thanking you. If you hadn’t taken over this project, we might have had to withdraw. Now that we’ve found gold, it can be considered the fulfillment of our wish. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been content." Du Zhenqi said sincerely.

The people from Xijiang Gold Company will definitely regret finding out that gold has been discovered.

So much was invested in the early stages, but we didn’t persist.

The prior investments have all gone to waste.

We’ve been busy for so long, just to dress others in a fine robe.

My good friend Liu Jianping, who didn’t want to invest, will surely regret it now that we’ve struck gold.

As the news of the gold discovery spread, everyone involved in the project was immensely excited.

The project team has been busy here for so long and has finally seen results.

The local workers, upon knowing that gold had been found, were overjoyed.

If we hadn’t found gold, the project might have had to shut down, and they would have been out of jobs.

Ghana is in turmoil right now, and finding a stable job is very difficult.

But finding gold changes everything, the mine will require years to extract gold.

Which means, they don’t have to worry about finding work for the next few years.

In the following two days, Duan Jinnian led his team in a comprehensive survey of Block 23.

All sorts of data emerged.

The gold reserve in this mine is even richer than anticipated.

After hearing Duan Jinnian’s detailed report, Shen Dong smiled with satisfaction.

That evening, Shen Dong treated the entire project team to dinner.

After eating, Shen Dong went back to his room and booked a ticket to return to his country the next day.

He intended to find a buyer, as he had no plans to mine it himself.

Running his own mine would undoubtedly earn him more.

But it would also be more troublesome.

He was just one person, not like those mining companies.

According to Duan Jinnian’s estimate, this gold mine would require at least eight years to exploit, something that could not be done without a large mining company.

Right now, Shen Dong was not in a position to establish a large mining company, not only because he didn’t have sufficient funds, but even if he had the money, he couldn’t achieve it in a short period of time.

Sometimes, heritage is very important.

Shen Dong had no intention of doing that; spending the next few years on this wasn’t appealing to him.

Selling it off was the better option, to use the money and invest in anything he wanted.

After a shower, Shen Dong went to Shao Yangrong’s room.

"Old Shao, I heard from Mr. Ding that you’re no longer thinking about being a mercenary here and are planning to return home to develop your career, is that so?" Shen Dong inquired.

"Yes..." Shao Yangrong nodded and took the initiative to share some of his personal matters.

His father had been diagnosed with cancer and didn’t have much time left.

He wanted to return home to accompany his father and be with him in the last phase of his life.

His father didn’t want him to continue being a mercenary, it was a life where he could die at any moment, and he hoped to see Shao Yangrong leave that line of work while he was still alive.

It was his father’s wish, and Shao Yangrong couldn’t defy it; he had to return home.

"If you’re not going to be a mercenary, have you thought about what you’re going to do after returning home?" Shen Dong asked, his eyes glinting with some thoughts about Shao Yangrong’s future.

"I’m not considering work for the moment, I’ll deal with it after accompanying my father on his last journey," Shao Yangrong shook his head.

"That’s also good," Shen Dong nodded and said no more.
