Chapter 870 Enough atmosphere!
"You already know that there is a gold mine down here?" The Great Elder and Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the wooden kang facing each other. At this time, the Great Elder had recovered his calm expression, and he was no longer in a hurry. The question he asked was not that Muer just now. Mentioned road repairs.

"Yes, I already know." Although Lin Dong didn't know why the Great Elder ignored the more important road and took care of the gold mine, but facing the 70-year-old man, he still nodded and said: "It is precisely because we know that there is a gold mine here, which is something beyond our plan. We originally only wanted to mine a metal mine, so I found Elder Namuer and hoped to tell you about it. After all, if we mine it privately , that would be immoral."

The Great Elder blushed slightly. Originally, he wanted to use this as a condition to talk to Lin Dong. When he offered to make it public, he naturally decided to compensate him. It was really hard for him to say this.

However, for the sake of the future of the entire tribe, the Great Elder still said: "About this gold mine, I think Namur should have told you, we knew it in advance. Moreover, this gold mine is a medium-sized ore lode, and it can be mined There is not a lot of gold, someone bid 500 million US dollars to contract our mine..."

At this point, he deliberately paused, wanting to see Lin Dong's reaction, but Lin Dong's face didn't change much, so he could only continue: "I heard that Mr. Lin is going to build a road for us..."

"Yes." Lin Dong has always been straightforward in negotiations. He didn't want to argue, and directly stated the conditions of the Changying Group, "We are going to build a desert road from the border port directly to the Taha tribe. In this case, it will be convenient for the Taha tribe. After all, your lapis lazuli is also a good jade in China, and the market prospect is very good. I think if you can sell the lapis lazuli mine to China, the price will definitely be higher."

The Great Elder did not agree, but asked, "Then what level of road is Mr. Lin planning to build?"

Lin Dong did not expect that the Great Elder would ask this "professional" question, after all, he didn't know much about it, but when he told Namur just now, he brought it up on a whim, but after thinking about it later, it was true. feasible.After all, neither this metal mine nor that gold mine can be settled in a short while.In the short term, a simple road in the desert is okay, but in the long run, a better road is very important.

"My plan is to build an asphalt road." Lin Dong said: "After all, in the desert, it is a bit unrealistic to build a highway, but building an asphalt road is not a big problem. The border between China and Afghanistan is not far away. There are oil fields in places where asphalt is relatively easy to obtain. Stones, cement sand and other things for road construction are also easy to find... I am a layman, so that’s about it.”

"Really?" The Great Elder didn't think of any highway at all. In his consideration, it would be good to have a compacted gravel road—just like the national defense highways in most parts of China.Although there is no problem with traffic, the quality of the gravel road is not much different from that of the asphalt road. The distance is equivalent to the difference between a rural road and a provincial road!
And since Lin Dong promised to build the asphalt road, no matter how he calculated it, it was more than 500 million US dollars!
Of course, in the country, if there are many people nearby and enough machinery, it may not be so much, but this is Afghanistan after all!In a place of hundreds of kilometers here, most of them are uninhabited, and the shipping cost is definitely higher than the raw materials!

Of course, the Changying Group doesn’t need to think about this at all—it’s pulling materials, it’s pulling raw materials, it’s pulling machinery, it’s pulling a truckload of metal ore, and it’s paid for all the shipping costs!

"Of course it's true." When Lin Dong actually said it, he felt more and more that this matter was feasible. When talking with Jiang Hongwei, he knew that Huaxia was trying to make the Taha tribe fall to Huaxia.But many elders of the Taha tribe tend to not offend on both sides.Information can be exchanged for materials from China, or information can be exchanged for dollars from Laomei.

However, if it is possible to build a road from the Huaxia Port to this tribe, even if they don't fight for it, those merchants in Huaxia will definitely follow this road to develop the Taha market!

Think about it, a tribe with tens of thousands of people, and a relatively primitive tribe, what a business opportunity there is!
With the ability and urgency of those merchants in China, I am afraid that in less than a year, most of the people in this tribe will be able to use China's daily necessities. Within three years, the more clever people in the tribe will probably be able to speak Chinese. After that... don't think about it.

Besides, the repair of the road will make it much more convenient for the people in the camp to go back and forth.At least it doesn't take several days to arrive like it did when I came.In the words of Tengjiao, he will return to China in half a day!
The more Lin Dong thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and his tone became affirmative: "As long as you can be sure that I can get the approval of your administrative agency for road construction, that is, they allow us to build roads, then I can even guarantee that the gold mine will Don’t mine for now, after the road is repaired, you can mine, we can sign a contract!”

so good?
At this moment, the Great Elder thought that Lin Dong was sent by Allah to deliver the Gospel to the Taha Tribe!

Compared with that old and beautiful false believer who threatened them to drive away the Huaxia Changying Group with business principles, Lin Dong is as cute as an angel!
"If you can build the road as soon as possible," the Great Elder and Namur looked at each other, and then said firmly: "Then we will be responsible for obtaining the permission to build the road! Of course, if the Changying Group can send us a It would be even better if you brought a batch of living supplies..."

"What happened?" Namuer was obviously familiar with the affairs of the tribe and was also very sensitive. The elder who usually didn't pay attention to these matters even started talking about supplies, so there must be something wrong.

"The people from Lao Mei are here. I hope we can drive out the people from Changying Group." Since the elder has decided to cooperate with Lin Dong, there is no need to help Lao Mei cover it up. Besides, what Lin Dong said The things were too generous, and he even said impatiently: "They said that if we don't drive the Changying Group away, they will let people cut off our trade route to Kandahar, and then..."

"There is no problem with supplies!" Lin Dong heard that this old beauty really came to help. He was pressing hard, wouldn't the Taha tribe here fall to his side faster: "I will stay here for a while. Call the country, our next batch of supplies will leave immediately, I will ask them to increase the purchase and transportation of supplies, within a month, guarantee to send [-] tons of supplies to the Taha Tribe!"
