Chapter 656: Chapter 424: Leave the Professional Matters to the Professionals

But the current situation is, it’s necessary to first determine if Edward Shermer is going to start mining here...

Sean Knight would usually take charge, but now he should stay behind the scenes, adding two more layers.

So it’s not suitable for Sean to directly make the decision for Edward Shermer.

But things must be like this - it’s highly probable that Sean has made up his mind. If some people in Outer Mongolia knew this company is run by Chinese people, they wouldn’t cooperate so happily.

After all, from the recent coal business, there are always some people who want to cooperate with China to make money, while also trying to get some advantages or waver from side to side.

As a result, they dug their own hole - not only did they have to increase the price of coal that was already under contract to be sold to China, but they also wanted China to provide them with a huge warehouse at a major coastal port for free.

What a pipe dream!

Edward Shermer is a bit hesitant.

"Actually, the security issue is quite simple. There are robbers here, but more often there are ordinary locals.

As long as you hire enough locals, give them jobs, provide them with a stable income, the vast majority of them will support you."

Although Outer Mongolia is a middle to high-income country that is, on average, slightly higher than China’s,

most of the income is in the hands of a few wealthy people, and ordinary herdsmen don’t live very well.

However, the country is blessed with vast territory - slightly smaller than Xinjiang in size, but only has one-seventh to one-eighth of Xinjiang’s population.

About two people per square kilometer. What concept is this?

Vast deserted areas!

So, life in remote small towns is really not that great.

After all, you can’t expect a country that relies on selling resources to build high-density high-speed railways, right?

While Edward Shermer is hesitating, Sean finally throws out a lethal question:

"Can you find another mine elsewhere to prove your ability and make your peers take you seriously? Isn’t this mine worth mining?"

Of course, it’s worth mining!

Through yesterday’s exploration, Edward Shermer has already determined that this is a large gold mine, with high-grade ore and most of the ore body exposed on the surface, making it very easy to mine.

That is to say, now they just need to negotiate with local government and bring in the mining equipment to start work.

The attitude of the officials dispatched by the local government to ensure cooperation shows their support for the company to start mining here.

As long as the security issue is solved, what else is there to hesitate about?

"So, Sean, can I trust you?"

Edward Shermer doesn’t understand why Sean is so eager to push forward with the mining project.

After all, Sean’s job was technically finished yesterday.

"You can call the person in charge of the company and ask whether they accept or reject my suggestion."

Sean reluctantly says:

"I can say it once, I have a small stake in the company. But I won’t admit it afterward."

After saying this, Sean glanced at the Outer Mongolia official who was not far away.

Edward Shermer suddenly realized.

He was a little worried that this was a trap set by Sean.

If those locals found by Sean were in his group, and after the gold mine was really mining, some trouble would arise, making it a big problem.

Edward Shermer wanted to believe what Sean said, but he still needed to confirm it.

After making a satellite phone call, Edward Shermer looked at Sean strangely.

"Mr. Knight, I think your stake in the company must be much more significant than just a small fraction! My immediate superior actually told me to trust you unconditionally!"

"Don’t think too much, our goal is the same. At least you don’t have to doubt me anymore, right?"

"Of course!"

"That’s fine, I’ll handle the security part, and you just focus on mining. And you should still handle the dealings with the officials, as they have more goodwill towards you."

Edward Shermer could feel that as well.

He immediately accepted this division of labor.

Sean planned to take Elijah Hastings and others to find Antony Carter, but Edward Shermer insisted on leaving two people behind no matter what.

So Sean left Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper behind, and he and Elijah drove off to the nearest town in an off-road vehicle.

As they left, Sean shouted to Lincoln:

"Marinate the mutton, and we’ll grill it when we get back! Boil the rest!"

"Alright!" Lincoln waved his arm, signaling Sean to be at ease. >

The two of them drove several dozen kilometers and came to the nearest small town.

Gobi Small Town gave Sean an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

The town was small, with several dozen families. There were shops with simple wooden boards as signs.

Almost none of the locals spoke English, and very few spoke Mandarin.

Sean got out of the car and saw locals looking at him with curiosity, vigilance, and disgust in their eyes.

Sean entered the shop, pulled out a Mongolian Tugrik, and pointed to the cigarettes on the shelf.

The lady boss was a Mongolian woman in her forties, happily accepted the money, handed the cigarettes, and spoke words that Sean couldn’t understand.

There was also a small table in the shop, with two men sitting there drinking - two men with one cup, and a bottle of wine on the table.

"Do you know Antony Carter?" Sean yelled. "Antony Carter?"

"Antony Carter?" The woman repeated.

"Yes, yes, yes, Antony Carter!"
