Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

On the way, Zhao An could still hear the creaking sound of the blade cutting through the crispy skin.

After the whole cut was made, the chef turned the two cut sides to face the middle of the dining table, only then did Zhao An discover that there was something strange inside the whole roasted camel.

The belly of this young camel was actually stuffed with a whole sheep, and the belly of the sheep was stuffed with several chickens, and each chicken was stuffed with a fish.

These nimas are like matryoshka dolls, one nests within the other. Zhao An can only say that the world of local tyrants is really beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Haman said with a smile: "This is our Arabian characteristic, very layered, and the taste of each layer is different."

Zhao Andao: "This is as rich and profound as His Excellency Harman's wisdom."

Harman laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Zhao is also an outstanding young man, which is different from our young generation in Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Zhao has a more pioneering spirit, just like my predecessors, overcoming obstacles and creating great achievements. "

The cook began to use a smaller table knife on the whole camel, sliced ​​the meat and placed it on a silver plate,

Another waiter came over and poured wine for the two of them.

Harman raised his glass and said with a smile, "Taste the wine from our estate, and toast our friendship!"

Haman drank it all in one gulp, and Zhao An, not to be outdone, drank it all in one gulp.

This wine is sweet when it enters the mouth, but it feels extremely smooth when it enters the throat, and there is still a faint aroma between the lips and teeth.

Zhao An put down his wine glass and praised: "Your Excellency Haman, in my opinion, your wine is

Compared with the red wine of famous French wineries, it is more mellow and more memorable! "

Haman smiled happily: "That's because the French love to brag, bragging about how beautiful their culture is every day,

How beautiful your writing is, how high-end your luxury clothing is,

In fact, it's just Westerners who follow their style, and I've always looked down upon it. "

Zhao An shook his head and said: "In my country, there is a kind of people who always think that the moon in foreign countries is round.

Never discovering, or deliberately ignoring or even obliterating, the beautiful things in my own country,

I have always despised this kind of people, our own country, the beauty of our own culture,

If you don't know how to appreciate, if you don't like it, who will love it! "

Harman said: "That's right, Mr. Zhao, this is the cultural invasion of the Western world against us, Asian countries,

It is a harm to our own culture, and we must resolutely resist it. "

The waiter put the sliced ​​meat in front of the two and presented them with a knife and fork made of sterling silver.

Haman's left hand remained motionless, he picked up the fork with his right hand, put the food into his mouth, Zhao An followed suit,

Seeing Zhao An's movements, Haman smiled and said, "Actually, this is the living habit of us Arabs.

This is a truth handed down from our Prophet Muhammad, who demanded that the left and right hands do things separately.

So Mr. Zhao, you can come here as convenient as you like. "

Zhao An smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Your Excellency Haman, and in my country,

Taking food with the right hand is also a customary rule. "

Being left-handed is ridiculed as left-handed.

Chapter 167 Returning to China

The chat between Zhao An and Haman was very pleasant. Haman was knowledgeable and humorous.

And Zhao An was poisoned by the domestic information explosion, and his knowledge was very wide-ranging, so he was able to tell some interesting things.

The two chatted very speculatively, from the cultural history of various places to climate change,

In the end, Zhao An still asked the key question: "Your Excellency Harman, what is the carrying capacity of your inland river fleet?"

Speaking of Harman's profession, he couldn't help but proudly said: "Although it is an inland river, it is not a problem to transport one or two thousand tons at a time!"

Zhao An said with a smile: "That's it, Your Excellency Haman, in a few days, I need to travel from Nazret in Ethiopia,

Transport some ore powder along the Ava River to the port of Aseb, hoping to get the help of your fleet. "

Haman pondered for a while, and said: "As far as I know, the water volume of the Ava River is not too large.

It is estimated that it can only sail, a ship with a displacement of 10-20 tons. "

Zhao An frowned and said, "In that case, I have about 200 tons of goods at my place. If it's 20 tons at a time, will the efficiency be too slow?"

Haman laughed and said: "Mr. Zhao, your worry is unnecessary, a ship is 20 tons,

I can send you 10 ships, and I promise to load your goods in one go without any problem. "

Zhao An said happily: "Then there is no problem, I will entrust my goods to His Majesty Harman!"

After eating a meal for more than an hour, even if he chewed slowly, Zhao An could eat enough.

The main reason is that this roasted whole camel is too big, and there is a whole lamb and several chickens wrapped inside.

After Zhao An ate a little, the chef immediately cut up a few slices, and the waiter brought them to Zhao An.

In the end, he couldn't eat anymore, Zhao An said: "Your Excellency Harman, thank you very much for your hospitality,

But I'm curious, what are you going to do with such a big roasted whole camel if the two of us can't finish it? "

Haman chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Although I'm rich, I don't waste food.

This is very disgraceful. If you can't finish the meal when entertaining guests, you will share it with the waiters.

Or they can take it home to share with their family, that's fine. "

Zhao An praised: "Your Excellency Haman is really a model of a generous and benevolent nobleman."

It was night, and Zhao An stayed in Haman's palace.

The next morning, Zhao An got up very early, washed up under the service of the waiter, and after getting dressed, went downstairs to have breakfast with Haman.

Most Saudi locals seldom eat breakfast. It's not that they don't have the habit of eating breakfast, but that they get up too late.

Haman got up very early. He is a devout Muslim believer, and he got up to pray at 5 o'clock in the morning.

In his view, a regular life is the expression of a Muslim's pious faith, which is also the truth handed down by their prophets.

After breakfast, Haman planned to take Zhao An to visit Riyadh, but Zhao An planned to return home.

Everything about digging King Solomon's treasure has been arranged,

As long as the construction work to cover the entrance is completed, he can lead people to start digging, so there is no need to stay in Saudi Arabia for a long time.

Harman said regretfully: "Mr. Zhao is so young and promising, and has such a strong sense of professionalism. He is really a role model for us young people in Saudi Arabia to learn from!"

Zhao An said with a smile: "Your Excellency Harman is serious. Your Excellency is the benchmark of young people in Saudi Arabia and the example of devout believers in Allah."

Haman had no choice but to send Zhao An and Wang Bing to King Khalid Airport.

Since the direct domestic flight from Riyadh triggered a circuit breaker, Zhao An had to transfer to Dubai and then to Shanghai,

Finally, at more than ten o'clock at night, they flew back to Jiangcheng.

After returning to the villa in Huadu on the waterfront, he rested for a night, and Zhao An rushed to the company the next day.

In fact, it’s okay to go to the company. The construction site outside the treasure is still under construction, and the equipment and mercenary team are still on the way.

The smelting plant by the pier has not yet been completed, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to complete Zhao An's deployment.

For such a long time, instead of staying in Africa to bask in the sun, or playing with local tyrants in Saudi Arabia, it is better to return to China to be more carefree.

Sitting in his office, Zhao Anbai was bored playing with his mobile phone,

It's not playing games, or using Douyin,

He searched the Internet for various clues and information about cobalt ore and cobalt compounds,

This is in response to Fang Diwei's needs, trying his best to help him find information about cobalt minerals.

Cobalt is a lustrous steel-gray metal. There is very little independent elemental cobalt in nature, and it exists widely in the form of compounds.

Most of the cobalt deposits in China are associated resources, and there are very few independent cobalt deposits.

Moreover, Huaxia's cobalt ore has a low grade and is recycled as a by-product of the mine. Due to the low grade and complicated production process in the production process,

Therefore, the metal recovery rate is low and the production cost is high.

The physical and chemical properties of cobalt determine that it is an important raw material for the production of heat-resistant alloys, hard alloys, anti-corrosion alloys, magnetic alloys and various cobalt salts.

So this thing has become a scarce resource that restricts the development of China's industry.

No wonder a military boss like Fang Diwei would ask for information about cobalt mines through a small mine boss like Zhao An.

As a result, Zhao An searched all morning, but couldn't find out why.

Zhao An's headache was really caused by the dense amount of engineering knowledge.

This is a common problem of liberal arts students. You may not be able to trouble him if you ask him to say something.

It is really difficult for him to find some useful information among a bunch of mathematical, physical and chemical terms.

In the morning, Zhao An memorized the three names of cobalt sulfide, cobalt arsenide, and cobalt arsenic sulfide.

These three are the most cobalt compounds in nature,

Just remember this, if you find out later, you can ask Fang Diwei for credit.

Zhao An never thought of looking for it deliberately. This thing is poisonous, has certain carcinogenicity, and endangers human health.

So Zhao An's plan is to report it if he discovers it in the future, and he has no plan to mine it.

Isn't he good at mining treasures honestly?

After eating in the company cafeteria at noon, Zhao An was ready to run away.

As a result, Deng Qiang, the company's chief financial officer, stopped Zhao An when he was about to step into the elevator.

Zhao An said depressedly: "Director Deng, is there any problem?"

Deng Qiang looked awkward, as if he had something to say,

Zhao An said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate, I'm not a tyrant who doesn't listen to opinions."

Only then did Deng Qiang speak: "Well, that's right, Mr. Zhao, the company has no money left on the books!"

what?

I am a company that is going to be on par with tens of billions and hundreds of billions of companies. Now you tell me that there is no money in the books?

Zhao An said with a straight face, "Notify Xu Wenqian, He Shuyao, and the people in your finance department,

Come to my office for a meeting in an hour! "

Chapter 168 Financial Planning

In less than an hour, the participants gathered in the meeting room.

Zhao An said: "Director Deng, tell me what's going on? Why is there no money in the company's books?"

Deng Qiang said: "It's not that there is no money, it's that the money is not enough to spend. The company has been spending a lot recently.

Except for the chicken blood stone mine in Gui Province, there is not much income, and then it is time to pay wages,

And recently, a batch of equipment has been purchased for the project of the wharf, so..."

It turned out that this was the reason. The chicken blood stone mine in Gui Province had just been put into operation, and the output was not high.

According to Zhao An's request, the output of the mines in Tanzania must be credited to his account.

For Myanmar's production, Ai Qingrou directly deals with Zhao An, and the money is directly transferred to Zhao An's account, but the company has no profit at all.

In addition, during the period of Zhao's mining industry, in order to dig out King Solomon's treasure, it has expanded its enrollment and purchased various equipment, so it is somewhat difficult to support.

After understanding the whole story, Zhao An's anger subsided, and he said, "Okay, this matter is my responsibility. I will make up for the estimated gap."

Deng Qiang said: "Currently counting the wages of the employees and the cost of the preliminary works of the wharf project, there is still a shortfall of 1700 million."

Zhao An took out his mobile phone, transferred 5000 million to the company's account, and then said to Deng Qiang: "I transferred the money, and if I have something to say in the future, just talk about it.

I am not a dictator who does not listen to opinions. The development of the company requires everyone's collective efforts.

I won't talk about it here, as long as it is beneficial to the company's development, I will adopt it according to the situation. "
