Chapter 1863: The Great Mine Owner 'Jim'!
Ye Xiuwen's questioning really stumped Yekjewski this time.
Jekjewski was pondering, but he didn't have the answer.
The city of Durham, he knew.
Located 21 kilometres southwest of Sunderland in north-east England, Durham is a small borough and an important settlement in the region, where the River Will flows from the north.
At the same time, the famous Durham University is located here.
This quiet and beautiful city is home to more than 630 monuments, registered buildings, old castles and picturesque forests.
Built in the late 11th and early 12th centuries, Durham Cathedral stands out, perched on a rolling hill that rises into the clouds and overlooks the tranquil River Will.
The church is not only magnificent, but also the most typical Normandy church in Britain, and the castle behind it, which was once the residence of the royal archbishop of Durham, is now the campus of Durham University, which also highlights the transformation of Durham from a military location to a modern city.
On top of that, there's the majestic Durham Town Hall, the interesting Beamish Museum, the massive National Railway Museum, the tranquil Forest Park, and much more.
But he hadn't heard of the iron lock bridge that Ye Xiuwen said. Or maybe he couldn't remember.
"Ahh I know, I've been, I've been,......" Yekjewski said vaguely. At this time, Ye Xiuwen already had the answer in his heart. Yekjewski's hesitation and ambiguity let him know that there was indeed something wrong with this person. He may really be British, but he is blindly pandering to himself.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out that he is deliberately trying to please himself in this way, so as to have any interest in his company.
However, this man never talked to him about business. And this made Ye Xiuwen even more suspicious of Yekjewski, whether this person was a hydra.
So Ye Xiuwen greeted Yekjewski while pretending to be nothing, just waiting for Yekjewski to show his fox tail.
When I was young, I came to the square in the center of the mine. It is a stone floor paved with volcanic rock.
The top is smooth, as if it has been treated. But in fact, it's all wear and tear. And there were even scraps piled up on it before, but it was artificially washed for this signing ceremony.
"Cousin? Come on, I'll introduce you, Mayor Karui. ”
At this moment, it was Su Xiaoya who shouted from the rostrum.
Ye Xiuwen smiled at Yekjewski: "I'm sorry Mr. Jekjewski, my cousin is calling me." ”
"Okay, okay Mr. Su." Jekjewski tightened, and then walked away with a sense of humor.
"Chirp!"
At this time, Aiya chirped and asked: This person is so strange, he has been sticking to you? What is his purpose? Do you really think of you as a local tyrant?
"Look, everybody today is weird, and we're going to keep an eye on the weirdest people." Ye Xiuwen admonished. At this time, Aiya also seemed to understand. I'm afraid they're going to have to do something big here today.
On the rostrum, the mayor of Karui took the lead and said, "Haha, this is Mr. Su, right?" It's been a long time. ”
"Mayor Karui is serious, and I am very honored to see Mayor Karuii!"
Ye Xiuwen greeted Karui, but saw that this was a man with his back combed and slightly blessed.
The hair is already a little thinning. Ye Xiuwen felt that such a person must be very smart and exquisite. Because as the saying goes, a smart head doesn't grow grass.
After the greetings, Ye Xiuwen sat down with Su Xiaoya, waiting for the other lovely people to arrive.
And next to Su Xiaoya, there was also a fat man in a black suit. This man is the mine manager. People called him Jim's Mine Manager.
Jim is not from this island, and according to legend, his background is very unclean.
But that's all rumors, and the people on this island believe in the supremacy of money. So no one went to investigate his identity.
Moreover, Jim's mine manager is doing well, and he can earn more than 80 million a year just by referring to this mine.
To put it bluntly, he is a natural glass seller.
A very small stone, he can sell for dozens, or hundreds, which is simply a million profits.
Moreover, the wages of some local natives are low, and he is completely lying down to make money.
Of course, he is not a fool, since this mine is so profitable, he will not sell it to Su Xiaoya and Mark for no reason.
Because he wants to be big, he wants to be a listed company.
But alas, he can't do it on this island. That's why it was sold to Su Xiaoya and Mark at a price of two billion.
Mark's stake will be 60 percent, while Su's will only be 40 percent.
In other words, Su Xiaoya this time was just here to invest and play, and she didn't point to this mine at all, how much money she could make, how much money she could make.
But Mark says it can make money. Because with the consumption of natural ores, there will be fewer and fewer natural resources in the future. So the price will only go up, not down. So Mark said that this mine, even if you buy it and don't mine it, you won't lose money.
So Su Xiaoya invested and played with Mark, anyway, hundreds of millions of dollars are nothing to Su Xiaoya.
Of course, Ye Xiuwen is not interested in these business things. He is only interested in people. He was monitoring everyone in front of him, in terms of his own actions and words, as well as his words and deeds, analyzing them one by one, whether they would be Hydra's people.
And he paid special attention to Yekjewski, a man who seemed to be able to talk to anyone, but the conversation would not last more than two minutes.
In this way of talking, people can see that he seems to know everyone. But Ye Xiuwen judging from the expression on his face after the conversation with Yekjewski, they didn't know each other, just exchanged two words.
"There must be something wrong with this person."
Ye Xiuwen nodded secretly. Although he is not yet sure that this person is the man of Hydra. But judging from all the signs, this person does have a problem.
However, at this moment, when Ye Xiuwen had been paying attention to Yekjewski, Mayor Karui came over and asked: "Why hasn't Mr. James Jay come yet, after the signing ceremony is over, it will be time to present the award." This is the process of the conference. ”
At this time, Su Xiaoya couldn't answer and looked at Ye Xiuwen. And Ye Xiuwen said: "Mr. Mayor, don't worry, James Jay will definitely come back." Let's get started. ......”
Ye Xiuwen signaled, and Karui could only announce to the rich people present that the signing ceremony of the central mine on Dolit Island had officially begun! ......
