"Don’t worry, Mr. Jin, I know what to do."
Jin Baogen nodded. i Xiang, who hadn’t spoken yet, felt grateful and stood up, "Thank you, Mr. Jin."
"No need to be polite. You’ve been with Xiao Cheng and have gone through so much with him, and besides, I value him, so it’s nothing."
Jin Baogen said calmly, "But, Xiao Chen, you need to be quick, this mining deal is prone to changes if delayed for too long."
Chen Cheng understood what Jin Baogen ant. Commodity transactions are so volatile, and policies, markets, and even international situations could affect the final outco.
He nodded seriously, "I understand, Mr. Jin. I’ll make sure to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
"Good." Jin Baogen nodded satisfactorily, "Prepare well, don’t let down."
Cui Xiaoling ca over at this ti, "Lao Jin, it’s ti to eat. I invited Xiao Chen and the others to stay for dinner."
"Let’s go, I won’t let you drink with tonight." Jin Baogen patted Chen Cheng, "Stay sober, I’m waiting for your good news."
"Okay."

The next day, Chen Cheng and i Xiang went to the Mountain Resort early in the morning to check all the preparations again.
The hunting dogs were already on standby in the kennels, and the picnic area was arranged warmly and exquisitely, with various delicacies and drinks neatly displayed.
A coaster bus appeared punctually at the entrance of the Mountain Resort, and Chen Cheng waited with i Xiang at the drop-off point.
The door opened, and Cao Yue was the first to get off.
He exchanged glances with Chen Cheng, followed by the others getting off the bus.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Xiao Chen, Chen Cheng, whom I ntioned to you." Cao Yue introduced, "And this is President Hoshino Mika from Xingye Corporation."
He turned to Chen Cheng, "Xiao Chen, this is Director Zhang from the Ministry of Natural Resources and several key personnel responsible for project approval."
Both sides shook hands and greeted each other. Director Zhang smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, Mr. Cao has told about you for a long ti."
"Hello, Director Zhang, I’ve heard a lot about you."
Cao Yue managed the pace, "Hey, Xiao Chen, how did you find such a quiet place? The conditions here are not bad!"
Chen Cheng responded with a smile, "The leaders are usually busy with work in the city, so I thought about finding a place in the Jing Jiao area for everyone to enjoy the fresh air and taste so farm cuisine for a change."
"This arrangent is nice, it’s been a while since I got so fresh air." Director Zhang nodded.
"Boss, let’s have so tea first. There are more programs later."
"Sure, let’s go."
The group entered the Mountain Resort, and today’s hall was exceptionally quiet, with only a few necessary staff present as the rest of the service personnel had been dismissed by Chen Cheng beforehand.
They arrived at the tea room, where Chen Cheng boiled water for tea, and i Xiang graciously helped distribute fruits to everyone.
"Xiao Chen, Lao Cao has roughly told about your situation." Director Zhang started speaking, "What are your current plans?"
Chen Cheng answered calmly, "Director Zhang, Xingye Corporation wants to sell that niobium ore, what do you think on your side?"
i Xiang quickly distributed the prepared materials to everyone. Since the clearance of the last CGG, these materials were readily available.
Director Zhang flipped through them, not expecting Chen Cheng to bring all the details of the mining site, including the profit and loss report, at the first eting.
"Xiao Chen, your sincerity is quite evident."
Chen Cheng poured so tea, "I know you are busy, so I thought I should prepare everything I could to not waste your valuable ti."
Director Zhang smiled, "Xiao Chen, you are quite promising."
He paused, "We are also very interested in this project."
Light appeared in both Chen Cheng and i Xiang’s eyes, as Director Zhang continued, "Currently, the dostic demand for niobium is significant, yet 90% of this ore relies on imports. Xingye Corporation selling this mining site holds great significance for us."
i Xiang also sat down beside Chen Cheng and said composedly, "Director Zhang, our Xingye Corporation’s niobium ore in Brazil, whether in terms of quality, reserves, mining technology, or transportation costs, has obvious advantages. We also believe this will be a mutually beneficial cooperation."
Director Zhang nodded, "President Xingye is right, mutual benefit is the key to long-term success."
He paused again, flipping through the materials in his hands, and asked, "However, it seems that I haven’t seen your company’s quote."
i Xiang said, "47 billion RMB."
Upon hearing this number, Director Zhang showed no obvious change in expression.
Cao Yue lightly coughed and smiled, "President Xingye has a straightforward personality."
i Xiang thought she might have misspoken and cast an inquiring look at Chen Cheng.
"Director Zhang, we can discuss the price." Chen Cheng took over the conversation, "After all, Xingye Corporation’s ultimate goal is to facilitate this cooperation."
He paused for a mont, observing Director Zhang’s reaction, and continued, "If there are other more suitable cooperation models, Xingye Corporation is also willing to actively explore."
Director Zhang put down the materials in his hands, intertwined his fingers, and after a mont of contemplation said, "Xiao Chen, President Xingye, I see your sincerity. We also see great potential in this project. The importance of niobium resources is self-evident. If cooperation can be achieved, it will benefit both parties."
He paused again, and his tone beca serious, "We need to carefully evaluate this price. Also, we need to consider different cooperation models to see which approach is more beneficial to both sides."
Chen Cheng and i Xiang exchanged a glance, understanding that this was just the beginning of the negotiation, and everything was within expectation.
"Director Zhang, you’re right. We also hope to find a cooperation plan that satisfies both parties."
