Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 30 Joining the Exploration Team

After saying that, Lin Shi took two steps back and left the alley.

In an instant, the lights on both sides of him were dazzling and he had arrived at a busy street.

"Boy, you..."

The sturdy man knew that he was tricked by this kid, so he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to charge forward.

"No, brother, someone is coming."

The fat man shouted hurriedly, and the strong man also saw the person coming from the opposite corner, so he quickly put away the elf, turned around and left with the fat man.

……

Got home and lay on the bed.

Lin Shi turned over. He took a shower outside and changed his clothes before returning home to make sure that his smell would not be traced.

"Hiss..."

A snake or bug crawled in from the window. Lin Shi specifically asked it to spread the scent in several other directions, and it has just returned.

In this way, the pair of Hengha brothers and their dog will not be able to find this place for a while.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Shi took out some sweet tea and poured some for the snake.

Then he took out his cell phone, was stunned for a moment, but finally dialed the number slowly.

Now he was being followed, and the other party was obviously well prepared. He couldn't just drag it out like this, the matter had to be resolved...

"Hello, Lin Shi."

"You finally called me. What my second uncle said was indeed right..."

The call was connected, and Fatty Zhou's voice came from the other end. It seemed that he had expected Lin Shi's call.

"Lin Shi, listen to me, you should agree to this good thing right away. I came to you because we are friends..."

"I was just followed by someone who was also looking for that kind of ore."

Interrupting Zhou Wanjin's chatter, Lin Shi spoke directly.

Zhou Wanjin's voice on the other end suddenly stopped, and there was silence on both sides of the phone for a moment.

"You probably haven't told me something about this ore..."

……

"Minghui Mining?"

Lin had heard of this company before. In Baishan City, it was a large mining company that was as famous as Zhou Wanjin's Jinduoduo Mining.

The two companies have a lot in common. For example, both started out by developing mineral resources. Another example is that both are facing transformation as mineral resources are gradually depleted...

In addition, Lin Shi and Minghui Mining have some connection, or to be more precise, it is an ill-fated relationship. Liao Hui, the fire lizard man who robbed Lalulas in the department store last time, is the son of the chairman of Minghui Mining.

This was what the store clerk Ye Han told them later, and she also reminded them to be careful, Liao Hui was not a generous person...

"You mean, Minghui Mining is competing with you for the mining rights of the brownstone mine, so you must first detect the location of the mine before you can apply to the alliance."

"Yes, the people who followed you today should be from Minghui Mining. They also want to know the news about Brownstone from you."

Listening to Zhou Wanjin's voice on the phone, Lin Shi fell into a brief silence.

If it was really as Zhou Wanjin said, finding the mineral was extremely urgent, then it was understandable that he was found in a desperate situation...

"Lin Shi? Lin Shi?"

"Are you listening?"

"Oh." Lin Shi reacted.

"I'm here."

"Brother, don't hesitate. Just help me. Didn't you say you wanted to see my stone collection?"

"As long as you come, don't even ask to see it, I'll give you a piece."

"Okay, deal..."

"Lin Shi, please don't..."

Zhou Wanjin was still trying to persuade him when he suddenly realized something.

"What did you say?"

"I said deal, but don't forget the conditions you promised me."

Zhou Wanjin: ...

Are you waiting for me here?

In fact, Lin Shi had no choice. This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a big deal to be followed every day. The key was that even if Lin Shi took the initiative to tell the other party and told the truth, they might not believe it.

It would be better to help Zhou Wanjin. No matter whether he finds it or not, once this period of time is over, no one will bother Lin Shi anymore.

"Don't worry, Lin Shi, nothing will be missing." Zhou Wanjin was overjoyed and quickly made a promise on the other end of the phone.

……

The next day, Lin Shi met Zhou Wanjin at the address he gave.

"Your second uncle didn't come today?"

Lin Shi sat down and saw Zhou Wanjin was alone.

"The company held a shareholders' meeting today, and my second uncle went to attend."

Zhou Wanjin said that he looked worried and in a bad state.

"What's wrong, Tingting broke up again?"

Lin Shi was looking at the contract in his hand and noticed that Zhou Wanjin's face didn't look good, so he asked casually.

Zhou Wanjin was silent for a while, then he sighed and said.

"Lin Shi, I treat you as a friend, so I will tell you the truth."

"You should also know that recently, Shenzhou's mineral resources have been restricted by the alliance and are difficult to mine."

"Companies like ours and Minghui Mining are facing a problem that they have to deal with - transformation."

Speaking of this, Zhou Wanjin's face became even uglier.

"Since my grandfather passed away, Jinduoduo Mining has been handed over to my father, and my father has also begun to actively prepare to lead the company's transformation."

"But it is not easy to transform a company. There are problems with experience, talent and industry, and we have encountered many troubles."

"In recent years, the original mining industry has shrunk by more than half, but other areas have not seen any improvement, or it can be said that they have lost a lot of money."

"The shareholders of the company are very dissatisfied with my father..."

After listening to Zhou Wanjin's words, Lin Shi roughly understood.

Every family has its own problems, but no matter how difficult their problems are, they are still good ones that are inlaid with gold and jade...

However, Lin Shi still had some impression of Zhou Wanjin's father, Zhou Qiming, the CEO of Jinduoduo Mining. He was an outstanding entrepreneur in Baishan City. It was said that he was upright and had a good image among the people.

"Lin Shi."

Having said that, Zhou Wanjin suddenly looked at Lin Shi with a serious expression.

"In fact, it was my father who made the final decision about the mining of brownstone."

"The indicators issued by the Shenzhou Alliance indicate that whichever of our two companies can discover the brownstone mine first in Baishui City will be able to start development first."

"Now my father is focusing on this..."

"As long as we can obtain the mining rights, we can quickly accumulate funds and regroup to carry out transformation..."

"Lin Shi, I don't know if you can find the mine."

"But I hope you can help me if you can."

Lin Shi sorted out the contract and held it in his hand while looking at Zhou Wanjin who looked serious for a rare time.

"I can't make any promises."

"But I'll try my best."

Lin Shi handed the contract to Zhou Wanjin, who had already signed it.

If possible, Lin Shi would certainly be willing to help the Zhou family. Not to mention that the conditions offered by the other party were good, just because he had offended Liao Hui, he didn't want the other family's business to move to a higher level. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Then Boss Zhou, I am now considered your employee. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation..."

……

Baishan City, headquarters building of Jinduoduo Mining Group Co., Ltd.

Zhou Qiming walked out of the meeting room with a grim look on his face. It was obvious that the content of the meeting did not satisfy him.

Zhou Qizhe also walked out of the meeting room.

"Brother, don't worry about it. The directors are also thinking about the interests of the company. If you had listened to me earlier..."

"enough."

Zhou Qiming shouted, interrupting Zhou Qizhe's words.

Then he took a deep breath and asked Zhou Qizhe:

"How is it, have you found the person?"

After hearing what Zhou Qiming said, Zhou Qizhe shook his head.

"The other party didn't leave any loopholes, and it's possible..."
