Donghai Province is a major gold-producing province, and there is a large-scale gold mine with a long history more than 100 kilometers from the provincial capital, Donghai City.

The mine, which is managed by the Donghai Provincial Gold Group Corporation, produces about 15 tonnes of gold per year, making it the largest gold mine in China.

After Ye Hao returned to Donghai City, the first thing he did was to take the fat man to visit Zhou Baichuan, the boss of Dongjin Group.

The last time he wanted to buy gold, he visited the headquarters of Dongjin Group, and accompanied by Zhou Baichuan, he visited the underground vault of Dongjin Group.

However, the last time he visited the vault, there was a strange robbery in the vault, and it was looted, and not a single gold brick was seen.

It was precisely because of that incident that Ye Hao got acquainted with Professor Ouyang Jue from the Institute of Ancient Chinese Civilization.

Professor Ouyang Jue, who has a mysterious background, has not appeared recently. Ye Hao also didn't know what happened to the vault robbery that Ouyang Jue was responsible for.

After Ye Hao saw Zhou Baichuan, he greeted him politely and asked about the original vault robbery.

"Mr. Zhou, did the vault robbery come to fruition?"

Ye Hao asked.

"Nope!"

Zhou Baichuan shook his head depressedly.

"Ah? Hasn't Professor Ouyang been in charge of solving this case? Could it be that he has come forward, and this case can't be solved?"

Ye Hao was a little surprised.

He had dealt with Ouyang Jue a few times, and knew that Ouyang Jue was a very powerful person, and he had an extraordinary background. He always thought that the case would be solved later, but he didn't expect that there has been no result until today.

"Ye Dong, regarding this case, the superior leaders have given special instructions to block all news related to this case. Because you are also an eyewitness to the case, I just said a few more words to you. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something else!"

Zhou Baichuan Road.

"What about Professor Ouyang? I haven't seen him recently, do you know how he's doing?"

Ye Hao asked again.

"Ahem, Ye Dong, I haven't seen Professor Ouyang since last time. Let's not talk about this, the topic is too sensitive. By the way, how much gold do you want to buy this time?"

Zhou Baichuan quickly changed the topic.

Ye Hao saw that Zhou Baichuan was unwilling to continue to go deeper on this topic, so he didn't ask any further. However, his curiosity about the case has not weakened, but has become stronger.

Why did even Ouyang Jue take action, and this case has not been solved yet?

While pondering in his heart, he replied casually,

"I'll buy as much as you have!"

Because when the fat man contacted Zhou Baichuan to buy gold, he had already mentioned the amount of gold that Ye Hao needed to buy, so Zhou Baichuan's answer to Ye Hao was not very surprised.

"Ye Dong, you also know that last time our vault was ransacked, and there was not even a single gold brick in it. Recently, our gold mine has been working overtime to extract gold, and so far, another 2 tons of gold have been mined, with a total value of almost 450 million yuan. ”

Zhou Baichuan Road.

"Why is there less than 500 million gold?! Didn't you say that you have 10 billion worth of gold?"

Ye Hao was stunned for a moment.

The reason why he rushed back from the magic capital in a hurry was because the fat man told him that Dongjin Group had 10 billion worth of gold.

Could it be that the fat man got the numbers wrong?

Ye Hao turned his head and glanced at the fat man with a reproachful gaze.

The fat man was also a little anxious, and cried out dissatisfied,

"Mr. Zhou, this is your fault! When we talked on the phone yesterday, you told me in person that you could provide 10 billion worth of gold!"

"Ahem, Ye Dong, Mr. Zhu, don't worry, listen to me slowly. Our Dongjin Group's inventory of gold is indeed only 2 tons at present. However, when I learned that you were going to buy a lot of gold, I contacted the gold mining companies in other sister provinces. They still have a lot of gold in stock, adding up, a total of about 40 tons, about 10 billion yuan. ”

Zhou Baichuan hurriedly explained.

"Oh, I see!"

Ye Hao was relieved.

"Ye Dong, do you really want to buy such a large amount of gold? Because it involves many gold mining companies from other brother provinces, I want to confirm with you again!"

Zhou Baichuan said again.

"Well, that's right, if you can get more gold, I'm willing to buy it all!"

Ye Hao nodded.

"Oh my God, Ye Dong, how much gold do you want to buy? Isn't 40 tons of gold satisfying you?"

Zhou Baichuan exclaimed.

"At least three or four thousand tons have to be bought, too little is not enough!"

Ye Hao said.

"Oh my God!"

Zhou Baichuan was dumbfounded.

No matter how much he guessed, he couldn't have imagined that Ye Hao would want to buy so much gold!

Three or four thousand tons?!

It's incredible!

That's more than 800 billion yuan!

Zhou Baichuan thought that Ye Hao had made a mistake with the number unit, and asked again,

"Ye Dong, are you sure you want to buy three or four thousand tons, not three or four thousand catties?!"

"Well, that's right, it's three or four thousand tons, and it can't be less!"

Ye Hao confirmed.

"OMG!"

Zhou Baichuan exclaimed again.

He was so shocked that he almost jumped out of the couch.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to make such a fuss. I know it sounds a little unreliable. However, I assure you in my personal honor that I am not joking with you that I am indeed going to buy so much gold!"

Ye Hao saw that Zhou Baichuan was shocked into this appearance, so he had to explain again.

"That's right, Mr. Zhou, our Ye Dong is talking to you about this matter very seriously, not joking with you!"

The fat man was also on hand to help testify.

"Uh......"

Zhou Baichuan was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Ye Hao waited for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't speak, he reminded him,

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you speak?"

"Uh......"

Zhou Baichuan was still demented and couldn't say a word.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, it's that he really doesn't know how to respond to Ye Hao's words.

After a long while, Zhou Baichuan regained some of his senses a little, and said with a sigh on his face,

"Ahem, Ye Dong, do you know how much gold we produce in China in a year?"

"I don't know, you can hear it. ”

"Our country is not rich in gold resources, and all the gold mines in various provinces are combined, and only more than 400 tons of gold are produced a year. This is still in a year with a lot of mining to reach this number!"

"Huh, that's it!"

Ye Hao was a little surprised.

"According to the statistics we have, last year, the total amount of gold mined in the world was only 3,000 tons! Even if all the gold mines in the world were sold to you in one year, I am afraid that it would not be enough to make up the amount you wanted!"

Zhou Baichuan said stupidly.
