Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 406 - 293: Collusion! Interests at Stake!

"Zhu Haoyi, who exactly have you provoked!?"

"I don’t care what you’re trying to do at Run Dong Weaving Plant, but if this involves , I’m telling you, you won’t be able to escape!"

"Those few lawyers..."

"..."

...

"Don’t worry, Director Wu, I’ve been cautious since I was young."

"Hmm, hmm, rest assured, rest assured."

"By the way, back ho we’ve grown so red peas, I hear your mother loves them, and we can’t finish them all, so I’ll send so to you..."

Nanhai Province, Zhengyang City.

Inside an office.

Zhu Haoyi had a hearty smile on his face, speaking while laughing.

After a while...

"Beep beep beep~!"

The phone call ended.

The smile on Zhu Haoyi’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a blank expression. He then looked at his phone and sneered coldly.

"What’s the situation?"

Li Yang, who had been silent for a long ti, suddenly frowned and asked.

"What did he discover? Does he know the lawyer’s background? No...he shouldn’t have any connections to know that, when we contacted him before, he treated those lawyers as ordinary people, otherwise, he wouldn’t have refused to file the case directly."

"Heh, it’s nothing, Wu Li is just insatiably greedy."

Zhu Haoyi slowly began, "He’s truly a beast you can’t feed enough!"

Over the years, the mooncakes gifted could pile up into a mountain.

The outco is right now, for this small matter, he still wants a second paynt!

"Heh, insatiable greed is fine, it’s only with demand that we can do things better."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang also chuckled, indifferent to the so-called expenses.

Right away, he put the matter aside, and they looked at their surroundings.

This is an office.

But not the office of Zhengyang Mining Company themselves!

Instead, it’s an office decorated with a more Chinese style, full of solid wood furniture!

This place...

is Zhengyang Resources Rare Earth New Materials Co., Ltd.!

What’s different about this company compared to Zhengyang Mining Company? The difference is significant!

The mining company is founded by Zhu Haoyi, but...the Rare Earth New Materials Company, is a state-owned enterprise!

Although not a state-owned enterprise of Upper City Group, it is a local state-owned enterprise... Nonetheless, even though it’s only a third-tier subsidiary, it isn’t a typical company that can be trifled with!

And their goal...is between these companies!

"Knock knock knock~"

In a daze, a knock on the door rang out, and Zhu Haoyi looked up.

Li Yang was already prepared by the door, imdiately opening it, and instantly, a man with a large belly, dressed neatly, walked in.

Seeing this person, Zhu Haoyi imdiately showed a broad smile, moving forward while bending over and extending his hand.

"Manager Wang, we et again!"

"Boss Zhu is as charming as ever!"

Manager Wang wore a warm smile, first shaking hands with Zhu Haoyi.

Soon, they both took their seats.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Manager Wang, expressionless, directly steered the topic to the main matter.

"What does Boss Zhu say, I heard from the people below that you have a project wanting cooperation with the company?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haoyi nodded slightly.

Manager Wang’s heart moved, suddenly saying, "What kind of project can your Zhengyang Mining Company not handle?"

Zhengyang Mining Company is considered a major player in Zhengyang City, a company that can shake the city with just a stomp.

Yet even so, there’s still a need for cooperation...

Could they have discovered a mineral vein!? No, that’s not right. If a mineral vein was discovered, it should be several mining companies collaborating, not pulling a state-owned enterprise in to create unnecessary trouble...

"Honestly speaking, my company’s surveyors... found a very special mine, one that only Manager Wang in Zhengyang City can manage."

Zhu Haoyi seriously began.

Only a state-owned enterprise can manage it!?

Manager Wang squinted his eyes, imdiately asking, "What kind of mine?"

Zhu Haoyi uttered two words.

"Rare earth!"

That is...a rare earth mine!?

Manager Wang’s eyes lit up, a sense of joy surged within.

Rare earths are strategic commodities, in high demand globally, with refined and separated resources being extrely valuable, almost like gold!

With improved revenue, his position might change, possibly moving up.

Just...

"Zhengyang City still has rare earth resources?"

Manager Wang restrained his joy, suddenly hesitating, his brows furrowed, obviously imrsed in deep thought.

"The lack of strict regulation in previous years led to major mining companies selling rare earth raw ores at extrely low prices."

"Zhengyang City has had no movent in rare earths for many years, logically it should have been mined out..."

Upon hearing this.

Zhu Haoyi calmly began:

"There’s one more!"

"Our mining company discovered a small coal mine in Yangshan Gully, so we wanted to buy ’Run Dong Weaving Plant’ in Yangshan Gully as a worker’s dormitory, but after purchasing it..."

"We discovered there’s a second mine here besides coal!"

As he spoke, Li Yang conveniently took out so test reports and other material docunts from his briefcase and handed them to Manager Wang.

Just then, Zhu Haoyi continued:

"And this mine..."

"is a rare earth mine!"

Manager Wang looked at the material docunts in his hand, his eyes instantly brightening, his heart beating like a drum.

It really is a rare earth mine!

But...

"Boss Zhu...not planning to extract it yourself?"

Manager Wang looked up at Zhu Haoyi, not revealing his true thoughts inside.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haoyi waved his hand, said:

"Why mine it yourself? If you mine it, it’ll only be sold cheap anyway!"

The price of raw ore is less than a hundred thousand per ton.

The price after purification can soar thirty tis, reaching three million per ton!

It’s even said that by 2025, the most expensive elents can reach a price of eight million per ton!

Compared to the raw ore?

The price of the raw ore is rely a drop in the bucket!

"But our mining company lacks the purification technology..."

Zhu Haoyi slowly spoke: "So, isn’t that why I ca to find you, Manager Wang..."

The purification technology has always been a state-level confidential technology.

Currently, rare earths around the world are monopolized by Eastern Country, or rather by this very technology!

Therefore, it’s not that small enterprises want to sell raw ores; it’s just that they lack the technology for separation and don’t want to cooperate with state-owned enterprises, hence they sell at a low price directly.

However...

"They fear losing money in the purification process and its complexity, but I’m not afraid!"

Zhu Haoyi continued: "Right now, the world’s highest purity rare earths are in our hands, there’s absolutely no worry about buyers, they’re even scrambling to purchase!"

"Furthermore, the future global technological landscape will surely be dominated by rare earths!"

"By then, it won’t be us looking for buyers, it will be buyers pleading us to sell!!"

Hearing this, Manager Wang couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Tsk, as expected of Boss Zhu who has seen the world!"

Zhu Haoyi can be considered an intellectual.

He went to study overseas in the 1980s and then used his knowledge to start a mining company, subsequently rooting it in the entire Zhengyang City like a sharp knife.

His vision is far beyond that of coal bosses and the like!

But...

"What do you want, Boss Zhu?" Manager Wang suddenly asked, "Or rather... how would you like to collaborate?"

Cooperating with a state-owned enterprise ans inevitably being outshone by them.

This is why so mining companies prefer selling raw ores rather than collaborating for purification.

Manager Wang now wants to hear Zhu Haoyi’s thoughts.

"A normal cooperation, if all goes well... I’ll let the legal departnt draft a contract based on standard terms."

Zhu Haoyi spoke in a calm tone, showing no sign of urgency.

A standard contract?

That is...

"Providing so purification technology, then the mining profits are distributed normally, and the extraction will be handled by the mining company," Zhu Haoyi stated.

Profit distribution and extraction are managed by Zhu Haoyi.

This can be considered a conventional contract.

But...

"As for technology..."

Manager Wang furrowed his brows, sitting on the sofa with his hands crossed, seemingly encountering sothing tricky.

"What part of the technology do you want?"

Rare earth purification technology involves many aspects, and various processing techniques can be shared.

But so technologies are quite special...

After all.

The reason Eastern Country can monopolize rare earths is due to the core technology ’Cascade Extraction Theory’, which is one of Eastern Country’s most confidential technologies!

It’s one that cannot be shared!

"Haha, don’t worry, Manager Wang, the mining company just wants so trivial technologies to avoid the awkward situation of only being able to sell raw ores in the future." Zhu Haoyi laughed heartily:

"As for what technology...

"You decide, after all, we have much ti ahead of us."

Hearing this.

Manager Wang also felt relieved.

He indeed wants to facilitate this cooperation, thus adding a significant achievent to his resu!

Previously, he was worried about what to do if Zhu Haoyi asked for too much, but who would’ve thought the other party would be so reasonable, almost like a gift from heaven for his performance!

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now." Manager Wang smiled.

"Of course."

Zhu Haoyi also smiled.

"As for the follow-up... let the legal departnts negotiate with each other."

As he spoke, he suddenly hesitated again, "But..."

But? There’s more but!?

"But what?" Manager Wang paused.

"It’s just that, in the short term, the rare earth mine in Yangshan Gully cannot be extracted."

Zhu Haoyi sighed, showing a helpless expression.

"The weaving plant I purchased encountered so trouble, the factory director’s wife absconded with the funds, and the director committed suicide."

"The remaining workers aren’t getting paid and are still holding out in Yangshan Gully..."

"I heard they even hired a lawyer, preparing to sue the mining company."

"It seems that the project cannot be launched anyti soon."

Suing!?

Manager Wang’s brows furrowed.

Legal battles in the economic field can drag on for years.

Several years down the line, Manager Wang might not even be with the company, so what significance does this project hold!?

"Does Boss Zhu have a purchase contract?"

Manager Wang thought for a while, then asked.

"Of course, there’s a written contract, and it’s signed and sealed." Zhu Haoyi took out a pile of docunts and materials.

Manager Wang looked through them for a while, contemplated, and finally made up his mind.

"Alright, in that case... Boss Zhu, just handle it in accordance with the rules."

Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Zhu Haoyi’s face. He stood up and said:

"Then we’ll proceed first to handle the weaving plant!"

With that, Zhu Haoyi quickly left the rare earth state-owned enterprise with Li Yang.

With Manager Wang’s approval, the matter can basically be resolved.

"Slam!"

Zhu Haoyi went to the parking lot, opened the car door, and sat down, recalling the conversation just now...

"Cascade Extraction Theory..."

He murmured, "No rush... no rush, a bridge has been built... no rush, no rush..."

As for Xu Liang...

Zhu Haoyi collected his thoughts, a smile appearing on his face.

"Zhengyang City isn’t like other places..."

"You won’t be able to file a case."
