Chapter 873: Atmospheric Enough!
"You already know there's a gold mine down there?" The Great Elder and Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the wooden kang face to face, at this time the Great Elder had regained his composure, no longer in a hurry, and the question he opened was not the matter of road construction that Namur mentioned just now.

"Yes, I already know." Although Lin Dong didn't know why the Great Elder put aside the more important path and took care of the gold mine, he still nodded and said in the face of this seventy-year-old man: "Just because we know that there is a gold mine here, this is something we didn't plan. We were only trying to mine a metal ore, so I approached Elder Namur to tell you about it, because it would be immoral for us to mine it privately. ”
The Great Elder's face flushed slightly, he originally wanted to use this as a condition to talk to Lin Dong, but when he offered to make it public, he naturally decided to compensate him, and he really couldn't say it.
However, for the sake of the future of the entire tribe, the Great Elder still said, "I think Namur should have told you about this gold mine, and we knew about it in advance. Moreover, this gold mine is a medium-sized ore vein or above, and there is not a lot of gold that can be mined, and someone has bid 5 million US dollars to contract our mine......"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, wanting to see Lin Dong's reaction, but Lin Dong's face did not change, so he had to continue: "I heard that Mr. Lin is going to build a road for us......"
"Yes." Lin Dong has always been particular about negotiations, he didn't want to be ridiculous, and directly said the conditions on the side of the Changying Group, "We are going to build a desert road from the border port directly to the Taha tribe, in this way, it will be convenient for the people of the Ta tribe to do business with the people of Huaxia, after all, your lapis lazuli is also a good jade in Huaxia, and the market prospect is very good, I think if you can sell the lapis lazuli mine to Huaxia, the price will definitely be higher." ”
The Great Elder didn't agree, but asked, "Then what level of highway is Mr. Lin going to build?" ”
Lin Dong didn't expect the Great Elder to ask this "more professional" question, after all, he didn't understand it very well, but although he brought it up on a whim when he told Namur just now, after thinking about it, it was indeed feasible. After all, neither this metal mine nor that gold mine can be done in a moment. In the short term, a simple road in the desert is fine, and in the long term, a better road is very important.
"My plan is to build an asphalt road." Lin Dong said: "After all, in the desert, it is a bit unrealistic to build a highway, but it is not a big problem to build an asphalt road." There are oil fields not far from the border between China and Afghanistan, where asphalt is relatively easy to manage. It is also easy to find stones, cement and sand for road construction...... I'm a layman, that's about it. ”
"Really?" The Great Elder hadn't thought of any highways at all, and in his consideration, it would be nice to have a compacted gravel road - just like the national defense roads in most parts of China. Although there is no problem with traffic, the quality of the gravel road is still much different from the asphalt road, and the distance is equivalent to the difference between the rural road and the provincial road!
And since Lin Dong promised to build the asphalt road, no matter how you calculate it, it will be more than five million dollars!
Of course, if you want to be in the country, there are many people nearby, and there are enough machinery, you may not need so much, but this is Afghanistan after all! In a place of hundreds of kilometers here, most of them are uninhabited, and the freight is definitely higher than the raw materials!
Of course, Changying Group doesn't need to think about this at all - pulling materials is also pulling, pulling raw materials is also pulling, pulling machinery is still pulling - a car of metal ore is pulled back, and all freight is earned!
"Of course it's true." When Lin Dong actually said it, he felt more and more that this matter was feasible, and when he talked to Jiang Hongwei, he knew that Huaxia was striving for the Taha tribe to fall to Huaxia. But many of the elders of the Taha tribe are inclined to do both sides of the law. You can exchange intelligence for materials in Huaxia, and you can also use intelligence to exchange for dollars from the United States.
However, if a road from the Huaxia port to this tribe can really be built, even if they don't fight for it, those merchants in Huaxia will definitely follow this road to develop the market of Taha!
Think about it, a tribe of tens of thousands of people, and a relatively primitive tribe, what a big business opportunity!
With the ability and urine of those merchants in Huaxia, I am afraid that it will take less than a year, and most of the people in this tribe will definitely be able to use Huaxia's daily necessities, and within three years, the more clever people in the tribe will probably be able to speak Chinese, and then ...... Don't think about it.
Besides, the road is repaired, and it is much more convenient for people in the camp to go back and forth. At least it doesn't take days to get there like when you came. With Tengjiao's words, I will return to China in half a day!
The more Lin Dong thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and his tone became affirmative: "As long as you can be sure that I can get the consent of your administrative authorities to build the road, that is, they allow us to build the road, then I can even guarantee that I will not mine the gold mine first, and I can mine it after the road is built, and we can sign a contract!" ”
So good?
At this moment, the Great Elder simply thought that Lin Dong had been sent by Allah to deliver the gospel to the Taha tribe!
Compared to the fake cultist of Lao Mei who used business to threaten them to drive away the Huaxia Changying Group, Lin Dong was as cute as an angel!
"If you can build the road as soon as possible," the Great Elder and Namur looked at each other, and then said firmly, "Then we will be responsible for obtaining permission to build the road!" Of course, it would be better if Changying Group could send us a batch of daily necessities in advance......
"Something's wrong?" Namur is obviously more familiar with the things in the tribe, and he is also very sensitive, and the Great Elder, who usually doesn't pay attention to these things at all, even began to talk about the matter of materials, then there must be a problem.
"The people from Lao Mei's side are here. I hope we will drive the people of the Changying Group out," Since the Great Elder has decided to cooperate with Lin Dong's side, there is naturally no need to help Lao Mei's side cover up, besides, what Lin Dong said is too generous, he even said a little impatiently: "They said that if we don't drive the Changying Group away, they will make people cut off our trade route to Kandahar, and then the time will be ......."
"The supplies are fine!" When Lin Dong heard this, this Lao Mei was really here to help, he was pressing tightly, wouldn't the Taha tribe here fall to his side faster: "I'll call the country after a while, our next batch of supplies will leave immediately, I will let them increase the procurement and transportation of materials, and within a month, I will guarantee to send a hundred tons of materials to the Taha tribe!"
