Anyone who knows the work of mine exploration knows that the entire exploration process is generally divided into four phases.

That is: the pre-investigation stage, the general investigation stage, the detailed investigation stage and the exploration stage.

The pre-investigation stage is mainly to comprehensively collect regional geological and mineral data, and Zhong Bai has already helped Cui Zhenchuan in advance at this step.

In the survey stage, on the basis of studying the previous data, the metallogenic geological conditions, the distribution law of bauxite points and the metallogenic prospect of the areas with large mineralization potential that can be surveyed are roughly ascertained by looking at the geological mapping with scale.

Once these two steps have been completed, the more in-depth detailed investigation and exploration phases can begin.

If there is an error in the previous judgment, then many places that do not meet expectations will be found in the survey stage, and there will be no need for follow-up detailed investigation and exploration.

The next day, Cui Zhenchuan led a team to contact the relevant personnel of D.D Mining Company.

But unfortunately, the other party did not seem to be interested in their arrival.

"Professor Cui, that's all we can provide." A middle-level manager named Macarus arrogantly put a few pages of information on the table: "You don't need to be in such a hurry even if you take it. Our D.D mining company originally had its own exploration team, but we recently went on vacation, plus your exploration team is free of charge, and there is a guarantee from the Swiss Patent Office, so the company agreed to allow you to explore the remaining unexplored areas in the Parnas region, but due to lack of manpower, we cannot provide more assistance, so please do everything at your own convenience. ”

Although Cui Zhenchuan couldn't understand Greek, it was not difficult to detect their bad intentions from the other party's arrogant tone and raised chin.

After Xiao Tian's translation, Cui Zhenchuan's face turned cold, and he squeezed out a sentence from his nose: "Very good, we are not prepared to ask you to assist in anything, just provide an off-road vehicle, and we will do the rest ourselves!" ”

"I'm sorry, the company doesn't have any additional off-road vehicles, even if there are ......," Macaros shrugged after a pause, and said, "It's impossible to rent to foreigners at will without a mortgage, if you want to rent, prepare a deposit of 100,000 drachmas." ”

100,000 drachmas is not a decimal number, it is almost equal to 3,000 yuan, which is about the salary of a Chinese worker for a year at this time!

"It's too much of a deception! We're here to help you do good, you have to figure it out! Cui Zhenchuan didn't expect this closed-door soup to eat too hard, so he simply grabbed his bag, waved directly to the members of the expert exploration team, and shouted: "Let's go, find a way to go by yourself!" ”

Xiao Tian still wanted to mediate from it, but seeing that Macarus had no intention of negotiating, and it was also the rhythm of turning and leaving, he could only sigh helplessly and keep up with Cui Zhenchuan's footsteps.

The arrogance of D.D Mining Company is something that everyone did not expect, at best, Cui Zhenchuan had some psychological preparations before coming, such as what Zhong Bai mentioned to him: the other party may not trust us; It is possible that you may not pay much attention to some collaborative projects......

But I didn't mention that I didn't even want to send an off-road vehicle!

Cui Zhenchuan, who returned to the hotel in a fit of anger, found Xiao Tian and asked him to find a way to get an off-road vehicle, otherwise he would rely on two legs, and then he would have a fart exploration!

But Xiao Tian was also helpless: "This kind of thing is generally solved by local companies, and if they don't solve it, we can only spend money to rent it in the market, but this is Greece, not our country, and there must be a deposit for renting a car, and it is very likely to be higher than what Macarus said just now......"

"Then we can't help but carry out our work! Xiao Tian, please go outside and ask first. Facing the reality, Cui Zhenchuan, an old and angry young man, had to bow his head.

But when Oda returned an hour after going out, the answer he gave was even more unacceptable.

The deposit for renting an off-road vehicle is generally around 150,000 drachmas, and the daily cost is close to 3,000 drachmas!

At this time, Cui Zhenchuan couldn't hold back his face anymore, so he could only make a phone call to the capital!

……

"Well, I see, Professor Cui." Zhong Bai, who lived in the guest house of Jingcheng University, couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing Cui Zhenchuan's description: "Wait a minute, I'll find a way to see if I can help you and the exploration team find an off-road vehicle for free within today." ”

"Hey, it's really embarrassing, I thought your reminder was a bit exaggerated at the time, but now it seems ......" Cui Zhenchuan's tone was a little embarrassed: "These Greeks are more arrogant than they imagined, and they are even more unwilling to take care of things!" ”

That's not it, otherwise why was Greece the head of the three European pig kingdoms in the last life, even if the country owed so many debts, it didn't panic at all?

However, now is not the time for Professor Cui to study humanities and history, Zhong Bai immediately dialed Yu Dongfeng's phone and asked him to give a financial statement, and prepare 10,000 US dollars of foreign exchange to be transferred to the account of the Spanish Pita company immediately.

"What is this for?" Yu Dongfeng asked puzzled on the phone.

"Rent a car for the exploration team, they don't have that much money in their hands." Zhong Bai explained: "Specifically, let President Li Nanxin find a way to contact the local overseas Chinese, but you can't always let people pay out of their own pockets to help, right?" The $10,000 is considered the cost of developing the European market. ”

"Okay." Yu Dongfeng didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed.

Although it directly occupies the foreign exchange quota of 10,000 US dollars of Baifeng Group, since Zhong Bai can make a special call to rent a car, it means that this matter should be very important, Yu Dongfeng has always believed in Zhong Bai's judgment, and even he directly said that he wanted to pay money, this money can not be saved!

So, after several twists and turns, the overseas Chinese in Greece contacted by Li Nanxin quickly took the money into cash and sent it to Parnas through the relationship of the Chinese Embassy in Greece!

It wasn't until 7 p.m. local time that Cui Zhenchuan, who was exhausted by the toss, saw the Grand Cherokee that drove back, and he was almost so excited that he didn't shed tears!

"Xiao Zhong, thank you so much......" Cui Zhenchuan's voice on the phone was a little trembling: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to carry out exploration work abroad, and it also caused you a lot of trouble, hey......"

"Professor Cui, we don't need to talk about this, I am already very moved that you can lead the team to Greece this time, and a little unaccustomed to the water and soil is nothing." Zhong Bai's tone still sounded so steady: "The point is, as long as you can quickly explore new ore veins, those arrogant mine managers will kneel and beg you every minute." Don't forget, they are capitalist, they are willing to do anything as long as they have profits! ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that I would have to learn the theory of class struggle from scratch at my age......" Cui Zhenchuan couldn't help but be happy: "What are you afraid of!" Remembering the bittersweet memories and working hard, the current situation is no more difficult than 20 years ago! But Xiao Zhong, if you have any reminders here, you have to tell me earlier! I'm ready for anything this time! ”

Need a reminder?

Zhong Bai recalled it slightly, and immediately remembered another incident back then, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said.

"The specific details of the exploration later, you can do it according to your predetermined plan, I don't have any opinion. Well, there's a little more to remind. ”

"You say!"

"A friend of mine who studies geology once told me that he had analyzed the data and that there were some unusual features in the Thracian region near Parnas, which suggested that there might be other veins there, such as ...... Silver. ”

The Thrace region is only more than 100 kilometers away from the Parnas region, which is not very far under the condition of having a car, Cui Zhenchuan said that he remembered that after completing the exploration of the bauxite veins in the Parnas region, if there is still time, he will go to the Thrace region.

Of course, Zhong Bai's so-called "I have a friend" rhetoric is understood by everyone, but Cui Zhenchuan doesn't understand it.
