Speaking of copper mines.

The country with the largest copper reserves in the world is Chile in South America, with total reserves of more than 300 million tons, which are of high grade and easy to mine, accounting for more than 30% of the total recoverable reserves of copper ore.

If it is on the side of the Ming world, because it has not been mined, the reserves of Chilean copper ore will be more and the mining value will be greater.

And compared with gold and silver, the world's largest gold ore reserves, only 50,000 tons, the largest silver ore reserves are more than 100,000 tons, although the value is very high, but compared with 300 million tons of copper ore, or copper mining value is greater, mining cost is lower.

And the amount of copper is more extensive, so there is no worry about not being able to sell.

Therefore, Xu Yuan decided that on the side of the Ming world, he would immediately start the mining plan of Chilean copper mines, send a large number of personnel to the American continent, establish a number of mines and colonies, and officially start to seize all kinds of resources on the American continent.

Of course!

In addition to copper ore, those high-grade gold and silver mines will also have to be mined in the future, so as to obtain a large number of precious metal resources.

After all, most of the world's commodities are composed of resources, and after entering the era of industrialization, resources are extremely important, and conflicts and wars are common.

Back to reality.

"Husband, there's something I want to ask you for?" Suddenly, Hu Xuerong hugged Xu Yuan's arm and spoke.

"What do you say?"

"I have a girlfriend who has a good relationship, I encountered layoffs some time ago, and I haven't found a suitable job until now, can I recruit her into the company, and let her work for me in the future to help her." Hu Xuerong.

"Your best friend, is the relationship very good?" Xu Yuan asked.

Originally, she was a civil servant in her hometown, with an iron rice bowl salary, and she was okay, but now the population of many counties is getting smaller and smaller, and several small counties have to merge into a large county, and then a large number of civil servants are laid off, reducing costs and expenses, my girlfriend is on the list of layoffs, lost her job, and can only get 3,000 yuan of unemployment allowance every month in the future, which is equivalent to retiring decades early." Hu Xuerong explained.

"3,000 yuan a month, retire in your twenties, isn't it good, and the salary of 3,000 yuan is almost enough for the usual expenses, don't you live without looking for a new job, why go through the back door with you?" Xu Yuan was puzzled.

"3,000 yuan is just to ensure survival, don't think about a high-quality life, maybe you don't even have the money to buy cosmetics and clothes, live a life like a village girl, my girlfriend doesn't want to lose the value of life so soon, or want to come out and work hard, find a job to earn more money, maintain their high quality of life, Magic City is a very good choice...... Husband, can you give her a chance, besides, my best friend is very beautiful, her figure is also great, and her appearance condition is no worse than mine. Hu Xuerong said.

"If you want to recruit, you can recruit, if you want to pay, about 10,000 yuan can still be given, of course, you have to be able to do some work." Xu Yuanyun said lightly, as for what Hu Xuerong said about appearance and figure, Xu Yuan was not interested, and he didn't want to understand.

"I know, I'll send her a message and ask her to come over tomorrow to report to work, thank you husband for being willing to help." Hu Xuerong snapped and kissed the man's face, feeling very grateful.

Because in this era, science and technology are becoming more and more developed, the application of robots and artificial intelligence is becoming more and more extensive, manufacturing more industrial products and output value, and the economy is growing every year.

But the unemployment rate is rising every year.

The population is also declining at an accelerated pace, with fewer young men and women marrying and the pressure is generally high.

It seems to have fallen into the trap of developed countries, and the increasingly developed economy and technology do not seem to bring a very good future.

One of the most important reasons, in fact, is that there are not many high-paying jobs, the involution is still relatively serious, many resources are still very lacking, and the country's welfare system still gives people a sense of picking, and they dare not give a large number of benefits to the middle and lower class population, for fear of raising too many lazy people and the next generation of defeat, thereby reducing the overall competitiveness and even bringing devastating consequences.

As a result, I can only pinch my nose, endure the social atmosphere of low fertility and low desire, and generally feel unhappy.

Resource.

In the final analysis, it is still a superpower that lacks a lot of resources, and it can't break the long-term dilemma of resource scarcity for the time being, unless it gets controlled nuclear fusion, as long as this is achieved that day, it can send a mining spacecraft to the asteroid belt in the future, capture a few asteroids with high metal content, and then pull them to orbit near the blue star, the value is at least in trillions, and the new richest man in the world may be born.

And before the resource problem is not solved, I'm sorry, even if today's Huaxia has entered a moderately developed country and has achieved prosperity, there is really no way to increase welfare investment and throw a lot of money, because there are countless examples to prove that this is a dead end, which will weaken its own competitiveness, so that the next generation will become a fat house one by one, and the hidden danger is extremely huge.

Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the words of the ancestors must not be forgotten, especially young people, should struggle or struggle.

……

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

Magical City, at the gates.

Hu Xuerong's best friend Wang Qiongru came to this 'magical city' with a high reputation on the Internet by taking the high-speed train and then transferring, and went to Hu Xuerong, who has the best relationship but has great luck.

"Qiongru, you're here so soon, hahaha, welcome."

Hu Xuerong was very happy to see this friend and best friend who had been in the same bedroom for four years, walked over quickly, gave her a cordial hug, looked at her, and said with a smile: "Qiongru, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become more beautiful, your figure is so good, even the bear is one size bigger, do you have a male ticket, get moisturized, and then develop a second time." ”

Hu Xuerong took Wang Qiongru's arm and said teasingly.

And she is telling the truth, this best friend in college is thin, her skin is slightly dark, her skin is not very good, her comprehensive appearance and temperament are only about seven points, only her body is quite symmetrical, she has a pair of slender and good-looking legs, and she can play for a year, so in the four years of college, no male student chased her, and she was once very inferior.

But after graduating from college, I haven't seen her for a few years, and my best friend Wang Qiongru at the moment is like a different person, and she can't recognize it.

One is that the skin has become whiter, there are no blemishes at all, apparently very high-end cosmetics have been used, and some microplastic surgery has been done to remove those blemishes without affecting the whole.

The figure is better, as if it has been moisturized.

There is also the temperament of a cold goddess.

The comprehensive score can be scored 90 points, which is not inferior to Hu Xuerong in all aspects, and it can be described as evenly matched.

Of course, even if the changes are huge, they can still be recognized, after all, the contours of the face and voice have not changed.

"Xue Rong, I'm here to join you, thank you for taking me in."

Wang Qiongru also hugged her, moved to the point that her eyes were red, took her hand, told about the past few years after graduating from college, and sighed at the impermanence of fate.

Especially for the fact that civil servants have been laid off in large numbers, Wang Qiongru is difficult to accept, after all, she stayed up late to read books and review every day, defeated hundreds of competitors, and finally served an iron rice bowl, but she also suffered layoffs, which shows that the times are changing too fast, and nothing is fixed.

"After being laid off, I was decadent at home for two years, and I was forced by my family to go on a blind date to find a partner every day, I couldn't stand it, so I ran over to you, Xue Rong, thank you very much, I don't know how to repay it."

Wang Qiongru sighed, but a bright light flashed in her eyes.

Lied.

In fact, she lied to Hu Xuerong, a good girlfriend.

Wang Qiongru actually did not squat at home in the past two years, but took out all her personal savings of 300,000 yuan, signed up for a 'rich wife club', first plastic surgery, adjusted appearance, cultivated dress and temperament, and then participated in various blind date activities, the purpose is to target those high-net-worth single men with a net worth of more than 50 million, find a way to become the wife of such people, and realize the dream of a rich wife.

In the past two years of blind date experience, Wang Qiongru has at least contacted nearly 100 high-net-worth men, but all the blind dates have ended in failure, even if there are several of them, who have sworn to marry her, and are about to become licking dogs, as long as Wang Qiongru nods, she can realize the dream of a rich wife and live the happy life she dreams of.

But......

Wang Qiongru didn't look down on them.

Because some of them are too old, they are all fifty or sixty years old, and they still want to gnaw on tender grass.

Some of them are too frustrated and ugly, like toads, Wang Qiongru wants to vomit when she sees them, resulting in physiological rejection and disgust, and it is impossible to be together at all.

Of course, there are a few handsome people who understand romance, are in their forties and speak humorously, and can make women tremble, but Wang Qiongru doesn't like these either, because they are all scumbags, and the only purpose of pursuing girls is to sleep with this woman.

So Wang Qiongru, who spent all her savings, failed to realize her dream of becoming a rich wife after all.

However, she found her purpose in life and fell in love with a man she vowed to get, and if she didn't get it, she would rather fight a bachelor for the rest of her life.

The purpose of her coming to her best friend Hu Xuerong this time was ostensibly to find a job, but in fact she was mainly here for that man.

In other words, who is the man she wants to get, and what is so special about it, worthy of her so hard work and unscrupulous means?

The man in her heart is naturally the owner of the Magic City, the owner of the Magic Wheel Group, and the only man in China who has succeeded in starting a business in the science and technology circle for more than ten years.

What attracts Wang Qiongru the most is not that this man is successful in his career, but because of his handsomeness.

That's right, it's handsome.

was so handsome that Wang Qiongru couldn't sleep at night, and after consoling herself fiercely in front of his pictures many times, she fell asleep with a blushing face.

And it lasted for as long as a year, and the degree of longing deepened every day, which prompted her to make a decision to enter the magical city by any means.

Anyway, Wang Qiongru, this woman is blind, the owner of the Magical City, the man who is more than thirty-five years old, is handsome in the end, but he is a little taller, he can be called dignified, he is more energetic, and he looks more pleasing to the eye, but he is really not handsome.

It's just an ordinary passerby's appearance.

became a handsome guy in the eyes of Wang Qiongru, and he didn't hesitate to use all means to get close to this man, and entered the state of nymphomania.

Is there something wrong with her head?

In fact, the aesthetics of women and men are different, the handsomeness in the eyes of women is not the same as the handsomeness understood by men, and even some boys who are generally considered not handsome or even a little ugly among men are actually very popular with girls.

But in the eyes of girls, a hanger-like figure, a pair of long legs, curly hair, and even the moment they put on a straight suit, for some girls, they have ten times the charm of an aphrodisiac, which fascinates them.

Wang Qiongru just got a photo of the boss of the Magic Wheel Group, just glanced at it, and completely fell into it, there was no other man in her eyes, even if there was an opportunity to become a rich wife in front of her, she did not hesitate to refuse, resulting in being scolded as a stupid fork by the female boss of the 'Rich Lady Club' and expelling her from the club, but Wang Qiongru was still happy and never regretted it.

Because in her opinion, if you can't marry the man you love, just because of money, to combine with those rich people, then it's just a dead corpse, and there are so many entertainment methods in modern society, it is not difficult to get happiness and satisfaction, and becoming a rich wife is not necessarily happy, and the pressure faced is not small, you will suffer a lot of grievances, and even lose yourself and become a slave to money.

Marrying the man she loves, no, as long as she becomes this man's woman, Wang Qiongru will be very happy and satisfied, she doesn't dare to ask too much, and even take a step back, as long as she can be near this man's side and can see him often, it will be happy enough.

Above.

It is Wang Qiongru's inner thoughts and purpose.

Hu Xuerong, who has a somewhat simple personality and can't read minds, naturally can't guess what her best friend Wang Qiongru is thinking, she just feels that with a companion, she can live a happier and more lively life in the future, and she doesn't have to be a widow often, looking forward to that man going to her more.

So Hu Xuerong, who received her best friend, took her into the Magical City, got on an electric sightseeing car, and toured and watched inside.

The majestic and tall building.

Extremely large factory warehouse.

High-tech facilities everywhere.

Good greening and ecological environment.

left a very deep impression on Wang Qiongru, and she admired and admired that man even more.

The first time I saw this man, it was a week later.

Seeing this man who had longed for countless times, standing alive in front of him, Wang Qiongru walked over excitedly and said hello: "Mr. Xu, I am Xue Rong's college classmate and best friend, I am very happy to meet you, I didn't expect you to be so young and handsome, much more perfect than I imagined, I am so honored to meet you." ”

"You say I'm young?"

Xu Yuan laughed, in a good mood, and said: "It's the first time I've heard someone say I'm young, good, good, Xiao Wang, whether you mean it or not, I'm very happy." ”
