Chapter 178: Precious Metals

"Is that you?"

The two boats slowly leaned together, and Hathaway looked at Zhang Xun in surprise and said.

As for Lin Xiaoye, who was looking at her curiously, Hathaway didn't recognize it, and she couldn't see her face clearly when she looked at it from a distance.

"Miss Hathaway, do you remember me?"

Zhang Xun asked in some surprise, his words were a pun.

There are many projects to systematically remove traces, and Zhang Xun doesn't remember it clearly, but after recalling, it seems that there is no relevant memory of Hathaway.

In this way, Hathaway should still remember the conversation with Zhang Xun on the lakeside bench that day.

"Of course I remember you. ”

Hathaway smiled her trademark smile, but she was a little skeptical, and she was surprised to find that seeing Zhang Xun again, she had a different impression of him than the last time.

Without the blessing of the charm gem, Zhang Xun is indeed nothing surprising from the appearance.

"The last time we saw each other was the day before yesterday, and my memory isn't that bad, oh is this your girlfriend?" Hathaway asked.

Zhang Xun shook his head a little embarrassed.

Then I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting at this time today?"

At the first glance of Hathaway, Zhang Xun thought of this problem.

He asked, then stared silently into Hathaway's eyes, trying to see her reaction.

Hathaway's eyes were slightly confused, she pulled her hair down, and said with a smile: "I am not feeling well today, and my colleagues from the company went instead of me." ”

Can such meetings be replaced?

Zhang Xun was suspicious, but politely didn't ask more.

It's just that Hathaway's reaction has proven a lot, and normally, there is no reason for her not to go to the venue, unless she is implicated by herself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xun couldn't help but apologize.

No matter from any point of view, it is not a good act for him to borrow Hathaway's image this time, and if it has an impact on Hathaway's life or career, it is his responsibility.

Hathaway was unaware of Zhang Xun's complex mental activities.

"Didn't you bring your compass with you today?" said Hathaway, changing the subject.

Zhang Xun smiled, the words about Captain Jin were just nonsense at the beginning, but he didn't expect Hathaway to remember.

"Ah, I remember you told me that there's something near this lake that interests you, aren't you? ”

Hathaway laughed.

"Captain Jin?Zhang Xun, what's that...... Also, are we here to find something? What is it? Do you know this young lady?" Lin Xiaoye was always ignored, and finally found an opportunity to interject, and couldn't help but ask.

“……”

Zhang Xun was speechless for a while.

Glancing at Hathaway, she noticed a playful look in her eyes.

"Well, that's what I kidding. ”

Zhang Xun shrugged his shoulders as a foreigner in film and television dramas, and said helplessly.

Lin Xiaoye, still no one cares.

After chatting for a few more sentences, there were not many common topics between the two, and when it came to the later Zhang Xun talked about the Chen family, Hathaway also frankly admitted that the two companies did have cooperation, Chen Du's father was engaged in overseas trade, Hathaway's group had more business, and cooperated with the Chen family, as for the company's main business is the mining and processing of precious metals.

"Precious metals, like gold and silver?"

"Yes, indeed. ”

"That sounds amazing. Zhang Xun exclaimed.

Hathaway asked, "I don't know what you do." ”

"What are we ......," Zhang Xun exhaled and said slowly, "I am currently mainly working with others to do coal mining. ”

"Ah, so we're broadly speaking. Hathaway laughed.

Precious metals and coal are, of course, very different, but they are both resources in a broad sense.

"I heard Chen Du say that your company is in Australia. ”

"Yes, the company is headquartered, but the current business is mainly in Africa. ”

"Africa? I know it's rich in resources. Zhang Xun nodded.

Hathaway suddenly said with a point: "Your country is rich in resources, but it's just ...... It's not so easy to do business with you than in Africa. ”

"Hmm...... Is it easy to do business in Africa?"

"It's not easy anywhere, but at least it's not like you have a strong centralized government, so ...... More opportunities, especially in terms of resources, you say?" Hathaway blinked.

Zhang Xun's heart moved.

Hathaway is very reasonable, having a strong government may be good for the people who live here, but it is not very friendly to people who want to come and make money.

Especially when it comes to resources.

It is very important to protect state-owned assets from loss.

For example, the domestic control of rare earth resources, in order to control the global rare earth resources, so there are many restrictions in policy.

Zhang Xun really touched this point, if he wants to extract resources on a large scale in the future, the policy will not be able to bypass the threshold, and under different social systems, business will have different limitations.

The big bourgeoisie can't be very popular here.

"After the meeting, will you stay here for a few more days? or will you return immediately?" Zhang Xun suppressed many thoughts that had given rise to him and changed the topic.

Hathaway pulled her blonde hair back and said helplessly: "I was going to return to the African branch after the meeting, but ...... For some personal reasons, I'm afraid I'll have to stay longer. ”

Zhang Xun savored the words "private reasons", and probably guessed that the so-called private reasons were probably government investigations.

As a result, he was more apologetic.

After a few more conversations, they said goodbye to each other, and the two boats separated again.

Seeing Hathaway's boat sailing towards the hazy lakes and mountains in the autumn rain, Zhang Xun was silent, and Lin Xiaoye, who was sitting next to him, flattened his mouth and stabbed Zhang Xun with his arm unhappily, saying, "Everyone is gone, you still watch." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I remembered something else." ”

"Hehe, you guys have a hot chat, and you don't care about me. Lin Xiaoye was unhappy.

"Shall I apologize to you?"

"Oh no, you haven't even answered my previous question. ”

"What's the problem?"

“…… It's just touching Captain Jin or something!"

Zhang Xun sighed and reluctantly told what had happened.

Of course, the key plot is definitely omitted.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoye said with a curious expression: "Is what you said true? Are you really Captain Jin? Is there really something in this lake? No wonder you suddenly traveled here, and then looked at your compass day by day!"

"I lied to her. ”

"I don't believe it. Lin Xiaoye looked like I was very smart and had seen through your tricks, and said, "What about the compass, take it out, what is in this lake! Let me see Zhang Xun." ”

"You really want to see it?"

Zhang Xun suddenly blinked, thinking about it.

"Uh-huh. "Chicks peck at rice.

"In that case, then...... Okay, but I'm just blind and I'm not sure if there's anything. ”

"Okay, show me!" Lin Xiaoye said impatiently.

Zhang Xun showed a smile that had succeeded in the conspiracy, then pulled her to the side of the boat, pointed to the lake below, and said, "You look down carefully, can you see what is in the lake?"

Lin Xiaoye really looked down: "I can't see anything." ”

"You're too far out of the water, closer. ”

"Good. ”

Lin Xiaoye simply grabbed the edge of the boat and looked down, but he still couldn't see it, and he couldn't help but be a little irritable.

Zhang Xun took the opportunity to say: "That's it, I'll hold your waist, and then you let go, so that you can get closer." ”

"Okay, then you hold it. ”

Lin Xiaoye immediately agreed, so she asked Zhang Xun to hold her belt, and then leaned over the boat completely, and approached the water with her face to the water.

Zhang Xun pretended that he couldn't hold the belt, so he simply wrapped his arms around Lin Xiaoye's waist, and then adjusted his movements, thinking about how to touch it.

However, what he didn't expect was that as Lin Xiaoye leaned out of the boat, the boat shook suddenly, and then without paying attention, the boat suddenly overturned!

"Poof!"

The two men fell into the lake together.
