"Of course, I remember I still owe you two buckets of instant noodles. Jiang Chen smiled and talked about the past.

"Don't mention it. Yang Yuan touched his nose embarrassedly, "I always said that when you come to Australia, I will invite you to eat lobster, you kid is so good, I am embarrassed to speak." ”

"You, are you Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen noticed that the girl beside Yang Yuan was looking at him excitedly, as if there were little stars shining in her eyes.

I always felt that I had seen her somewhere before, was it an illusion?

"That's right. Jiang Chen smiled, then looked at Yang Yuan and asked, "This is my sister-in-law?"

Since Jiang Chen's generation is basically an only child, when they were in college, they didn't have any seniority when they called each other. It's common to call each other brother, and friends' female tickets are called sister-in-law.

"My name is Sophie, and I'm a fan of Xiaobai. Sophie said with a wink.

"Hmm. The expression on Yang Yuan's face was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Chen saw that he didn't plan to say more about this matter, so he also stopped talking.

"It's rare, or I'll treat you to dinner. ”

"Then what's so embarrassing, I should have invited you for this meal. ”

"Yes, I should have returned those two buckets of instant noodles. Jiang Chen stopped Yang Yuan's words.

He could see that Yang Yuan's economy was not optimistic. He just wanted to find someone to catch up with, and if it was a burden to his old friend, then he would be a little reluctant to go.

"Oh well. Seeing what Jiang Chen meant, Yang Yuan nodded a little embarrassedly in agreement

The two came to a restaurant by the sea. From the outside, you can see the luxury of this restaurant and the high price of consumption. Looking at the waiters in formal attire at the door of the restaurant. Yang Yuan's expression was a little unnatural. However, when he saw his female ticket cheering, he couldn't bear to say to Jiang Chen to change places.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had no emotions such as "flesh pain" or dissatisfaction on his face. He was secretly relieved.

He was very worried that Jiang Chen would have thoughts such as "not interesting enough, it is rare to see him and slaughter him". Now it seems that it is too much to worry about. He also has a headache for his girlfriend's willfulness and extravagance, but he can't have the courage to restrain her.

Of course, he was too worried, and Jiang Chen was so stingy that he couldn't afford a meal.

At the dinner table, except for Aisha, who didn't speak, the three of them chatted very well. At the dinner table, Sophie frequently toasted Jiang Chen, showing her lively and cheerful side, and at the same time inquired about his private life intentionally or unintentionally, but Jiang Chen quietly blocked it.

The look. Jiang Chen had seen too much.

Although he didn't know why his old friend liked such a woman, he still had this bottom line, so he kept his distance from this girl named Sophie. Seeing that the set was almost unsuccessful, Sophie had to turn her eyes to Aisha and try to become good friends with her. However, Aisha's reaction to her enthusiasm seemed to be lackluster.

Yang Yuan was very slow in this regard, but he didn't notice anything. After a few beers, I chatted with Jiang Chen about what happened in the years after graduation.

Perhaps because he was drunk, Yang Yuan pulled him to the balcony outside the restaurant. Blowing a cool sea breeze, he leaned against the railing and continued to walk.

chatting and chatting, the two talked about the "beginning of the business". Jiang Chen selectively skipped sensitive topics, and took through the process of finding a partner to figure out Future People 1.0 in one sentence. I just talked about the development of the company in detail.

"Yes, you! Xia Shiyu, the former school girl of the business school, you actually got soaked! Hey, this Brother Chen is indeed not a loss. Yang Yuan borrowed the meaning of wine. Exclaimed loudly.

"What's soaked," Jiang Chen scolded with a smile. "It's the CEO of my company. But the relationship may be a little unusual. ”

Bragging between men and men is not so scrupulous.

"But isn't that sister-in-law?"

Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed. "Well, too. ”

"It's too corrupt. Yang Yuan was stunned for a long time, and then he punched Jiang Chen hard in the shoulder.

"Ahem, if you have an emotional foundation, what is called corruption. Let's not talk about you, what's the matter with you and Sophie. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yuan sighed.

"What's going on, that's all. ”

"I always felt like I had seen her somewhere. ”

"She also graduated from Wanghai University, two years younger than me, and I only took her out of the country at the end of last year, probably in school. Yang Yuan said casually.

"Well, maybe. ”

"Originally, I thought I had won an iron rice bowl, but I didn't expect to lose my rice bowl without eating a mouthful of rice. I knew that now, when the people from PetroChina talked to me about work, I signed a contract. Yang Yuan's words were a little remorseful.

Although the wages of state-owned enterprises are not as high as those of foreign enterprises, their stability is still commendable. Even if it is a loss, even if it is subsidized by finance, the state will not let those workers who have contributed to the construction of the country conscientiously lose their jobs. From this point alone, I don't know how many times more noble than the capitalists.

"Iron rice bowl?"

"Yes, in my first year of graduate studies at the University of Western Australia, I had already signed a work contract with Rio Tinto. However, this year coincided with the iron ore market downturn, the price of oil fell, and Rio Tinto Group did not say anything about mass layoffs, so I was unfortunately shot. ”

Jiang Chen, who was really lucky, couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Does PetroChina not want you now?"

"Yes, why not? I'm also a 'turtle', isn't it, and I'm studying in the Department of Resource Exploration. Relying on the relationship at home, it's no problem to go back to exercise for two years and then become a section chief or something. When it comes to his own skills, Yang Yuan is still very confident.

"Then why don't you go back. Jiang Chen glanced at him.

A wry smile appeared on Yang Yuan's face.

"I'd like to go back, but," Yang Yuan said, looking at Sophie in the restaurant.

The little girl was excitedly dismembering the lobster. And spoke to Aisha familiarly.

Jiang Chen understood his distress in seconds.

"She didn't want me to go back. In her opinion, I finally got the qualification for skilled immigration. It would be a shame if it was wasted. As soon as I said about going back, she cried and cried about breaking up with me."

"Is this really good?" Jiang Chen asked.

Frankly. Jiang Chen didn't like this Sophie's character very much, he couldn't understand where this kind of girl was attractive. But since Yang Yuan likes it, Jiang Chen can't say anything.

"Then what else can be done?" Yang Yuan smiled a little bitterly.

"Do you love her?"

"Hmm. ”

I can't see that this engineering man is unexpectedly an infatuated species. When he used to live in a dormitory, Jiang Chen just thought that this guy was sullen, but he hadn't discovered this yet.

"Then try to satisfy her. Although it may be a bottomless pit. ”

Yang Yuan sighed, "I know. I'm just thinking about staying up until next year, and if the market picks up, the demand for jobs should still be able to rise. ”

Listening to Yang Yuan's words. Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he happened to be worried about the molybdenum mine. In addition to molybdenum ore, there are niobium ore, tungsten ore and even rare earth resources, and there is a big gap in the wasteland. However, according to Oliver, it is difficult to get these things in any country, so Jiang Chen moved his mind to mine them.

The Panu Islands are extremely rich in marine resources, and although there are no oil and gas reservoirs in the territorial waters, the seabed minerals have not yet been discovered. Jiang Chen didn't believe it. Iron ore and bauxite are low-cost and can be bought on land. Like any rare earth resources, if you spend money to buy them, to be honest, he still has some flesh pain.

As for how to find these ores from the bottom of the sea. In fact, Jiang Chen already had a rough idea in his mind, although it was still in the conjecture stage

Will the deposits on the earth be the same as those on the present world?

Jiang Chen hadn't noticed this aspect of the problem at all before. The history of the last days is not at all the same as the reality of the world, and he selectively ignores the idea of using the information advantage of the future to make profits.

The number of lottery numbers may not be the same. Hug the thighs of future leaders? PAC never showed up at all. Music? That's even more. If not, it may not be popular if you bring the music of the Indian Ah San to China? If not, the music of PAC may not be popular. After all, India is also an integral part of pan-Asian cooperation

But minerals are different! They don't increase or decrease because of human activity. In other words, the deposits that were hollowed out before the war may not have been excavated yet, and may not even have been discovered at all.

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, why didn't he think about it in the first place? Selling the location of mines and oil fields is much more promising than selling gold! It's just not easy to explain the source

"Speaking of which, I just have a job, and I still lack someone, are you interested?"

Yang Yuan was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I really don't understand IT at all, I understand your kindness, but I won't fool you. ”

Yang Yuan is an honest man, he knows that he doesn't have that ability.

"Who said that you should go to the future of science and technology, and let the people who are engaged in resource exploration go to IT, isn't that blind?" Jiang Chen gave him a blank look, "I'm talking about the future of people mining, are you interested in coming?"

"Future people mining?" Yang Yuan was stunned.

"That's right. Jiang Chen said affirmatively

Although it is okay to hire a manager from a headhunting company to do this, after all, it is not as trustworthy as an acquaintance. As for the technical aspect, the last thing he lacks is technology.

"Are you serious?" Yang Yuan also restrained his joke.

"Not so. But do you know about marine resource exploration?"

When it came to his profession, Yang Yuan immediately became excited.

"Of course, my mentor at the University of Western Australia is specialized in marine resources, whether it is a project of seabed deposits or submarine oil and gas reservoirs. ”

"Then it's decided, tomorrow I will go back to Xinguo to register the future of people mining, well, by the way, I will also register one in Australia. Jiang Chen nodded and said.

"What, your company hasn't been registered yet?" Yang Yuan said in shock. (To be continued.) )
