Chapter 1054: About the Amnesia
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Of course, the Huang Family could understand the Li Family’s intention at this moment. In this situation, no one wanted to be involved. The gold mine in Africa was a treasure and a bottomless pit.
Huang Rongtian regretted that he had listened to the boasting of his friends, saying that those adventurers had earned astronomical figures in Africa that could not be imagined for a lifetime.
However, this was indeed not fake. Many people had become super-rich overnight, but many people had also become poor overnight.
Everything was relative. If there is a profit, there is also a loss. It was no wonder that Huang Rongtian and his father, Huang Xiaofei, would be so hot-headed. In the face of huge profits, few people would be absolutely calm!
Marx said long ago that once there is a proper profit, the capitalist will be bold. With a profit of fifty percent, they would take risks. To make a profit of a hundred percent, they would dare to trample on all human laws. If they had a profit of three hundred percent, they would commit any crime or even put their lives in danger.
This statement was not wrong. What about the recent three hundred percent profit in Africa? Therefore, Huang Rongtian would partic.i.p.ate at all costs.
However, in this small country, not everyone could do it well. It was obviously unwise for Huang Rongtian to get in it without knowing the rules of the game.
He also went through an inquiry in advance. Although the regime of Country X changed quickly, the interim government collapsed, and the other went into power, those local capitalists were basically well taken care of. As long as they paid taxes according to the regulations, they would not be mistreated. They had never heard of anyone whose contract had been breached! Huang Rongtian was the first one!
Why was he the first one? He ignored the critical point, which was that their Huang Family did not have strong private armed forces in Country X. The new Kars Regime was not afraid of what the Huang Family would do. As for the local mine owners, General Kars did not dare to offend them.
Just after he gained political power, he still was at rest. What’s more, when these people were united, their armed forces were not small. It was really necessary to fight until the end. Kars also did not have many advantages. Maybe other hostile forces would take advantage of a lapse and force him to step down.
Therefore, General Kars would not do such a stupid thing. However, the Huang Family was different, so the Huang Family was singled out.
When Huang Rongtian realized this, it was already too late. Africa and these risky countries were not something that a businessman like them could be involved in.
As a business empire, the Huang Family still had a lot of loyal business partners. It was not that he couldn’t fish out five billion dollars. The key issue was that if he really fished it out, and if the Kars regime collapsed and a new regime came into power, would the new regime do the same thing?
This was not an impossible problem, but it was very likely! From this matter, Huang Rongtian understood his own importance. It was impossible to occupy a part in Country X without a powerful private armed force of his own.
However, he was only a businessman. Although it was possible to get someone from the organized crime syndicate, it was simply nonsense for him to get an armed force.
Ask him to give up the six billion dollars that he had thrown in before? Never mind Huang Rongtian who was not reconciled; even Huang Xiaofei would not agree. However, if he continued to invest, Huang Rongtian was even more afraid.
This was a big matter in regards to the Huang Family’s future. Once this matter was not handled well, then the Huang family would go bankrupt. Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei had discussed it for a long time, and finally came up with a countermeasure!
That was to get someone else involved in this mess and find a partner to let him invest more. Even though his own shares would be diluted, and the profit would be less than before, he would still obtain the property rights of the gold mine again without investing another penny. This was the best result!
With this resolution, the Huang family’s father and son’s gazes were locked on Li Zhicheng! Li Zhicheng was chosen because he also had a mine in Africa. It was an iron ore mine. Although it was not big, there was a small-scale security force in the local area! The crucial point was that Li Zhicheng and General Kars had cooperated before. His iron ore mine was where General Kars’ original base was. He gave military expenses to General Kars! In this way, with his partic.i.p.ation, they thought that things should be smoother.
Li Zhicheng had two sons. The eldest son, Li Tianjia, and Huang Rongtian were almost the same age. They were twenty-six years old and unmarried. The younger son, Li Tianyu, who just entered middle school this year, would not be considered.
In order to allow Li Zhicheng to partic.i.p.ate earnestly in it, Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei discussed the means of marriage. Although Huang Lele was a few years younger than Li Tianjia, it didn’t matter.
Huang Lele was spoiled from an early age. She liked to do everything according to her own temperament, but this time, things were different. It was related to the future life and death of the Huang Family. Therefore, Huang Xiaofei had to sacrifice his daughter’s interests in exchange for the greater interest of the family. Although it was ridiculous, the facts were facts.
If you want to get something, you have to lose something. Only after Huang Lele came home, did she learn what was going on. Listening to her father say that she had to marry into the Li family, she immediately had a big fight with him. Then her father placed her under house arrest and prevented her from going out.
Although Huang Lele had the forty billion patacas that Yang Ming gave her, which was equivalent to six billion dollars in American dollars, Huang Lele also knew that it was not so easy to solve the problem at home.
What her father needed was the Li family’s relations.h.i.+p, not just the money. If there weren’t a strong relations.h.i.+p in Country X, no matter how much more money was invested, they might go bankrupt in an instant.
Therefore, Huang Lele hesitated again and again. She did not take the money out in the end. Although Huang Lele was relatively simple-minded, she was not stupid. She knew that if she took out her own money, it would not change her father’s idea. It was better to keep it with her and use it as her final card.
When Huang Rongjin got home and found out about the news that his sister was under house arrest, he was furious. He found and got into a fight with his father, but when his father explained the situation in Africa, Huang Rongjin became silent.
He knew that it was a big deal, and his own words would not change his father’s idea. So, he hesitated and called Yang Ming. In Huang Rongjin’s eyes, Yang Ming was a mysterious and resourceful person. Although it was not clear whether Yang Ming could reverse the situation in Africa, Huang Rongjin still called Yang Ming.
After all, Yang Ming was his sister’s boyfriend, and Lele was in trouble. It was natural to inform Yang Ming. Moreover, Huang Rongjin had an instinct and felt that Yang Ming would have a way!
Huang Xiaofei did not care about Huang Lele’s boyfriend. In his opinion, Huang Lele could no longer go back to Macau. Then, naturally, she had to break contact with her so-called boyfriend. Never mind that he was a mainlander.
After Huang Rongjin called Yang Ming, he did not stay idle but began collecting information on General Kars of Country X. He hoped that these things would help Yang Ming.
During this time, the Huang Family was already building a connection with General Kars, so the information that was collected was in great detail. Therefore, Huang Rongjin secretly copied the information.
Africa? Gold Mine ? Yang Ming shook his head. Huang Lele’s eldest brother is really fascinating. This is also a place that he went to . Remembering that he still had a diamond mine in Africa that had not been claimed, Yang Ming smiled bitterly . I don’t even have time to manage that diamond mine, yet this Huang Family is still so keen. If worst comes to worst, I can have them change to mine diamonds or even consider a joint venture.
For the diamond mine, Yang Ming was not afraid of anyone who dared to go back on his promise. In the small country where the diamond mine was located, no matter how the provisional regime changed, some high-level people knew the owner of the diamond mine. Who dared to go back on their words? Wasn’t that looking for death?
Yang Ming didn’t know which country his diamond mine was located in, so Yang Ming planned to ask Fang Tian again.
“Jiajia, how are you feeling these days? Are there any ramifications and the like?” Yang Ming decided to put Huang Lele’s matters aside first. After all, it was not the most urgent matter. Even if he were in a hurry, it would be of no use. Zhou Jiajia’s injury was on her head, so Yang Ming would be very cautious, fearing that Zhou Jiajia would be left with intermittent headaches.
“It’s okay. The injured place doesn’t hurt at all…” Zhou Jiajia shook her head.
“Then, do you remember what happened before?” This was what Yang Ming cared about. Zhou Jiajia couldn’t always have amnesia, right? My relations.h.i.+p with her is indeed a bit awkward.
Initially, he agreed with Chen Mengyan’s opinion, and Zhou Jiajia was taken home. However, Yang Ming found that Zhou Jiajia was very shy, and it was almost impossible to push her down 1 without any development.
Although Yang Ming believed that if he insisted on doing this, and Zhou Jiajia would not object, this was not the result Yang Ming wanted. Even though Yang Ming couldn’t be considered as being in love with Zhou Jiajia, he already had certain feelings. However, they were limited to the degree of mutual love. They lacked the dating process. If it went directly into the process of being pushed down, it would be too reckless, and it also disrespected Zhou Jiajia.
Therefore, Yang Ming wanted Zhou Jiajia to restore her memory as soon as possible so that he could give her a perfect relations.h.i.+p. They were cla.s.smates and often sat together in cla.s.s, so he wouldn’t need to be afraid that feelings could not rise quickly.
“Before…” Zhou Jiajia was also trying to talk to Yang Ming about her amnesia. When Yang Ming first mentioned it, she was hesitant and didn’t know how to open her mouth.
I can’t say that I pretended to have amnesia, right?
