When he walked into the Unified Supervision Mansion, he felt the strange eyes cast around him, and Wu Yuming took a deep breath while taking a breath to cheer himself up. His appearance is beautiful among men, although slightly childish, well-defined, with curly black hair and deep-set blue eyes, but these eyes directly expose a qiē - he does not look like a Chinese, but more like a foreigner, but he is indeed Chinese, but has some Spanish blood - his mother is Spanish.

Don't look at his appearance like a foreigner, but in fact, he is still a Chinese in his bones, in fact, as a side branch of the Wu family, he was born in Hong Kong, as early as the age of thirteen, he went to the United Kingdom to study, after studying for 12 years, graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, until the beginning of the year he returned to Hong Kong, and during the study in the United Kingdom, he never gave up Chinese studies, while studying with Cambridge while studying Chinese culture by himself, and even worshiped the minister in the United Kingdom as a teacher to study Chinese culture.

However, the twenty-five-year-old Wu Yuming can be said to be ambitious, bent on showing his ambitions, although the current famous Jardine Matheson Wu family has long since declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, coupled with the United States, Britain and foreign investment in the family, so that the Wu family is still regarded as a wealthy family among the Chinese, but as a side branch of the Wu family, his grandfather when the family was divided, the assets he received were extremely limited, and it was the reason for the birth of a concubine, so that Wu Yuming's status in the Wu family was average, but he also obtained an important position in Jardine Matheson.

However, Jardine Matheson did not give him the opportunity to realize his ambitions, but Beiyang Company could provide him with the opportunity to realize his ambitions. It is precisely because of this that he left Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong and came to Incheon without hesitation. And it has been instructed to prepare a branch in the UK. According to the request of Lord Tang. The company's future procurement will be handled by the European branch, and he has been appointed as the manager of the UK branch because he grew up in the UK and has an extensive network of contacts in the UK.

For Wu Yuming, this is an opportunity for him to show his ambitions, after all, the future Beiyang Trading Company will directly replace the monopoly of foreign trade in China, start direct trade with European merchants, and sell domestic local goods directly to Europe. Of course, this is only a long-term goal, and the short-term goal is to procure equipment and hire technicians in Europe as a representative of the Unified Supervision Office and the company.

The Unified Supervision Office and the Beiyang Company, Wu Yuming, who has been in North Korea for a month, finally figured out the relationship between the two, the Unified Supervision Office is the largest shareholder of the company, and the second largest shareholder is located in Huayanghao, but the principal of both is Tang, in other words. Whether it's the unified supervision office or the company. In the end, you have to obey one person.

When Wu Yuming walked into the adult's office, Tang Haoran had already stuffed the test report on the cyanide method into a drawer, there was a chemical laboratory in the Nanbesu Palace, and the test equipment in the laboratory was actually given to the king of Korea by an American scholar many years ago, and it had been idle in the palace for many years, until now it was taken by Tang Haoran for various chemical tests.

Facing Wu Yuming, who had just entered the house, Tang Haoran smiled kindly.

"Mingxuan, I have something you need to do, it's best that you start doing it as soon as you arrive in London!"

Tang Haoran's tone seemed a little anxious, can you not be in a hurry? Now, after more than a year of tossing, the bubble of the South African gold rush has completely burst, and the company that was once worth hundreds of millions of pounds is now only worth hundreds of thousands, and it is a good time for them to enter the South African gold mining industry.

In the past, the reason why he chose him as the manager of the branch in the UK was of course because he received a British education, grew up in the UK, and had an extensive network in the UK, but on the other hand, Tang Haoran never said another reason - he looked more like a foreigner and was easier to deal with foreigners.

And now this face that looks more like a Western than a Chinese is the best choice to open the gold mine in South Africa. Otherwise, those "racists" may not be able to cause much trouble to the "gold mining company" in the future.

The adult's words made Wu Yuming immediately understand that the matter was coming, and he was in a hurry.

"I wonder what your lordship commands?"

"Well, you see, I recently overheard that the gold bubble in South Africa seems to have gone bankrupt since last year, and for the very simple reason that it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with as the rocks that produce gold get deeper and deeper into the ground. The oxide ore on the surface is gradually replaced by the sulfide ore underground, and the gold particles are getting smaller and smaller, and the gold mine has no mining value, and most of its mining companies have gone bankrupt, but I don't know why, but I think there seems to be some opportunity there, and now I think - can we use this opportunity to invest in South Africa's gold mines? ”

"Investing in South African gold mines?"

Looking at the adults in front of him in surprise, Wu Yuming almost couldn't believe his ears, during his study in the UK, he personally experienced two bubble bursts, not to mention others, even himself, who also suffered heavy losses when the bubble burst last year, which was even the direct reason for his return to China - 5,000 pounds of property was lost in the stock crash after the bubble burst.

"Yes, my thinking is, just because the South African gold mines are in trouble, doesn't that mean they don't have the value to mine, for example, bringing in the best geologists for further exploration? Maybe it's possible to discover new veins, that's my idea, but maybe it doesn't have to be on the agenda, my idea is, can we take this opportunity to buy gold in South Africa and work on new extraction technologies, maybe we can make a breakthrough! ”

Wu Yuming was very surprised by the adult's instructions, he was not an expert in the mining of gold mines and the extraction of gold, and he could even be said to be a layman at all, otherwise he would not have lost thousands of pounds.

"But, my lord, isn't this too risky?"

Wu Yuming looked at the adult in front of him with doubts, although it is possible to get rich returns by investing when the bubble bursts, but on the other hand, there is still the risk of losing all their money, and I don't know how many people in history have lost their money because of similar speculation.

"Yes, there is a risk that if we fail, we will probably lose all our money. But I want you to do it, that is, let you do it, I hope to take this opportunity to buy as much gold as possible, preferably to master most of the gold mines in the Baishuiling area, but because of the relationship of funds, this matter needs to be carried out cautiously, how about it, are you confident that you can do this well? ”

Although it is still unclear why adults are so insistent, seeing that adults are so confident, Wu Yuming seems to realize something.

"Your Excellency, do you mean...... Is there already the technology to extract low-grade ore? ”

Staring at the dark night sky outside the window, Tang Haoran had a smile on his face, at this time, he seemed to see that gold mountain beckoning to him, after mastering the gold mine, the financial problem that plagued him would be fundamentally solved, in the face of Wu Yuming's question, he did not give a positive answer, but said casually.

"Technological advancements are always beyond our imagination, aren't they?"

"But, my lord, how to solve the problem of funding?"

In the face of an extremely confident adult, although he had some doubts, Wu Yuming still chose to obey, after all, business itself is speculation, and the adult in front of him is undoubtedly extremely keen in business.

"Funding issues ......"

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth, Tang Haoran looked at Wu Yuming and said.

"Doesn't the trading company have a letter of credit of £1 million? Just take the money and do it. ”

"But, but my lord, this is the company originally used to purchase equipment, if this money is used to buy gold mines, then when it comes to paying for equipment, how will it be paid?"

As soon as he heard that the money was being used, Wu Yuming suddenly became a little excited, the money was the "trade money" he would bring to the UK, which was originally used to purchase machinery and equipment, but now it was completely diverted for other purposes, how could he not be excited

For the importance of the equipment, how can Tang Haoran not know, but now he has no other choice, after all, this matter, is also directly related to his future, if this matter is operated well, from now on, he will need to worry about the problem of funds, the gold mining company will provide himself with enough returns.

"You don't have to worry about the equipment payment, after all, the equipment payment is paid in batches, in short, you have half a year to use the money to acquire the gold mine, in this half a year, the equipment payment, I will find a way, after all, the bank and the mine, can think of some way......"

The adult's resoluteness made Wu Yuming understand that he was powerless to change the adult's decision, so he asked tentatively.

"My lord, but after all, this matter is very risky, if it fails......"

"It's okay! What kind of business will be risk-free? ”

Tang Haoran said bluntly to Wu Yuming behind him.

"You just have to let it go, in short, just one word, buy as much gold as you can! You know, now is the era of the gold standard, and gold mines are the most valuable capital in this era. As for the consequences, responsibilities and so on, it's up to me to bear them! Just let it go! ”

It is indeed the most valuable capital!

Sufficient gold reserves are extremely important for any country, especially in this era of the gold standard, gold reserves are the standard for measuring national strength, and mastering gold mines undoubtedly controls the supply of money.

Of course, for Tang Hao, what he values is not only the gold brought by the gold mines, but also the other wealth stored in the gold mines, of course, the most important thing now is to master as many gold mines as possible before the gold mines in South Africa recover, so as to have a mining company of his own, and then set up a situation to seek more benefits in the future before the British intervene.
