Chapter 303: Buying The Mine
After Honglian left, she also couldn’t settle down to draw the design sketches!
She picked up the pen and began sketching a little figure on White Paper, her Miaomiao.
Stroke by stroke, she carefully outlined her from memory, gently blew it dry, looked at it and touched her little face, then tucked the paper into her bosom.
This way, she felt like her Miaomiao baby was by her side.
This girl must be worrying about her mother, she didn’t know if she had secretly cried, if she was afraid of the dark at night, or if Li Sanmao had cooked her meals to eat?
Thinking of this, her eyes felt a burst of soreness, she remembered getting up early and staying up late to go into the mountains to pick Pine Nuts to make Termite Mushroom, plant fields, grind Beans to make Baked Bread, and her previous dreams!
She wanted to plant a field of Coffee Beans in Luo Family Gully to make Coffee to sell, open a coffee hall where people could read books, open a Bread Shop, actually just wanting the family of three to be happily together.
Now, they couldn’t meet, her brain kept unwilling to think of Li Sanmao again, she felt a deep sense of rejection toward him!
She didn’t know if it was her own problem, because of his selfishness she had become cold now! Her trust in him had collapsed!
She felt that everything Li Sanmao had done for her before was false affection.
Now she didn’t crave anyone to love her, whether they treated her well or not, she was extremely rational and only wanted to focus on whether she herself was well or not, except for Miaomiao.
Actually he hadn’t done much, ordinary husband and wife also had times of quarreling, perhaps she had gradually trusted him, handed herself over to him, yet he had suddenly shattered the little dream she had built up bit by bit! She didn’t want to see Li Sanmao again, didn’t want to think of him, didn’t want to return to his side.
She missed Miaomiao but missing was missing, she still had to accumulate strength and continue to strive forward!
Strive to develop Heng Can Glazed Ware to Dongli Kingdom, to reach the ability to naturally return to Dongli Kingdom to see her, and bring her to her side.
Even if she couldn’t bring her to her side, being able to stay by her side watching her would be good too.
Thinking of Miaomiao, she immediately felt her fighting spirit ignited, she wanted to achieve financial freedom, to freely be herself!
Her Glass production track needed to start planning, she picked up the pen and began burying her head in furiously writing the project plan.
After writing the Glass development plan, she stood up and looked outside, the sky had already darkened!
Without eating dinner she put on her Outer Garment and directly went to Zi Chou Bar, recently Xie Ajin had been working there, and the Gambling House business was also being managed.
She arrived there, the bar was in its lively time, she patrolled a circle, the atmosphere inside was high, she went directly to where Xie Ajin was handling affairs.
“Oldest Brother, why did you come?”
“A Jin, how is it? Has anyone caused trouble?”
Xie Ajin saw the person coming in from outside and said lazily: “With me Xie Ajin here, who dares to come make trouble, do they not want to get by?”
“Hehe, that’s good, you’re still the reliable one for handling things, A Jin actually I came for something that needs you to handle!”
“Oh? What matter?”
Xie Ajin perked up, what matter required him to come personally, couldn’t he just have a servant pass the word.
“It’s like this, this bar has also entered normal business state, I have a new business direction, we must take it, I want you to go scout it out!”
“What aspect?”
“Mines!”
“Ore?”
“Mm, after deep consideration, I think we can go buy some mines, get these ores in hand, I predict that in the future this ore will definitely have extremely high utilization value and be very valuable.”
Now ore hasn’t developed very greatly, its functions including its smelting methods haven’t been fully developed, she thought if Feng Qingcheng really promoted electricity to thousands of households, for example this Tungsten Ore was an important material!
He was still reading books on road construction, once this infrastructure was up, mineral resources would be massively developed and used to a certain extent!
If they could become the leading oldest brother in mineral resources, the future wealth and status could be imagined!
“Good!”
She had A Jin go scout, where there were mines, where they could be taken down for buying and selling, then they would start purchasing, now buying should be the cheapest time, if waiting until Tungsten Filament, or steel copper those things developed to a certain stage, it would definitely skyrocket!
As for funds, she wasn’t worried, there was Gambling House revenue, could also sell a few pieces of Glazed Ware, if worst came to worst, borrow from Huirui and could quickly pay back, her Glazed Ware Factory was valuable now!
Of course, for this mine, he would give A Jin a share. Merchants without backing were easily suppressed by those with strong backing, but with Marquis Zhenbei’s Mansion as backing, believe that even if she possessed rich mineral resources, if someone wanted it they would have to weigh the consequences!
Unless Emperor Your Majesty made a move to monopolize, then she could only admit bad luck and that was that.
Anyway, by then she would have made a fortune, letting go would also be a form of self-preservation.
Leaving from A Jin, walking to the long corridor she was suddenly bumped by someone, that guest happened to come out from the restroom, “Are you alright?”
“No matter, no matter, how did this ground get water splashed, later need to have someone clean it up.” Li Xi’er was speaking when she heard this person’s voice so harsh and grating, but this person gave a familiar feeling she couldn’t describe.
That person was also silently sizing her up and down, was it him?
Li Xi’er felt it very strange, this person had an ordinary face, but the taste emanating from him was very familiar, especially his eyes gave her a very bad feeling, even feeling extreme disgust!
“Young Man, is there something off about me?” The man spoke first, voice unpleasant.
“No, just feel like you seem a bit…”
“A bit familiar?”
The man stared at her, that gaze seeming to want to see through her.
“How could it be, this is our first meeting, just earlier I saw your pupils seem a bit strange, like green?” Li Xi’er innocently pointed at his pupils and said.
The man was shocked inside, face unchanged, “Hehe, that might be caused by the candlelight in this bar!”
“Like that, perhaps I saw wrong! Then, since so, goodbye, friend.”
Tuoba Yi’s mother had some Mengren bloodline, so his pupils would turn green when angry or emotionally agitated.
This was information she knew from previous contact with him.
Li Xi’er greeted and turned to prepare to leave.
“Stop!” That man shouted.
“Don’t know what else you have?” Li Xi’er calmly looked at him.
“May I ask, have you ever been to Si Kingdom? Have you ever heard the name Hua Can?” The man’s hoarse voice said.
Li Xi’er’s face was calm without waves: “Oldest Brother, what are you saying? Si Kingdom, I’ve heard of it though wanted to go but haven’t been, as for Hua Can, I’ve never heard of it!”
The man carefully observed her expression, her expression didn’t seem like lying, for a moment he also had some doubt!
“So to say, this Zi Chou Bar is opened by you?”
“Hehe, I am a small merchant, opening a bar is a personal hobby, any problem?”
Clearly he had offended her, not pleased!
“Oh, Young Man, don’t overthink, just you look too much like an old friend of mine, so I asked!”
“Old friend?” Not enemy?
“Then sorry, Oldest Brother you recognized the wrong person! Don’t randomly assume anyone you see is a friend next time! I don’t like it!” Li Xi’er turned and left, face showing displeasure.
Tuoba Yi felt stifled, how could there be such a person?
