Chapter 977: Chapter 0977: Three Mines
After the waiter brought the coffee, Long Fei took a sip and seriously looked through the material bag.
Inside were photographs taken underneath the coal mine, featuring various animal corpses, as well as those of humans that appeared to be mummies.
The muscle and skin of these corpses seemed to be in good condition, without any signs of decay.
Zhang Guifa said anxiously, "Master Long, these were just excavated from the mine. The workers are making supernatural claims, saying that after the mining equipment severed the arms of the corpses, they still moved. Tell me, has our mine become haunted?"
Long Fei asked curiously, "Right, where in Jinxi are you from?"
Zhang Guifa replied, "Gaoping. Just over the Taihang Mountains from our East China Province; just cross over and you’re there."
"Gaoping?"
Long Fei thought for a moment and said, "This city was called Changping in ancient times, right?"
Zhang Guifa stretched out his thumb and praised, "That’s why you’re the master! The historical battle of Changping between the Qin State and Zhao State took place here. The Zhao Army met a tragic end, all buried alive by the Qin general Bai Qi. Nearly every male in the entire state died, and the women—it was miserable. Young and already widowed, it was truly pitiable..."
He rattled on and on, showing quite the potential as a women’s representative.
Long Fei pondered for a moment, remaining silent.
Suddenly, Zhang Guifa seemed to have a realization and said, "Master, do you mean to say, these bodies are the soldiers of the Zhao State?"
Long Fei took a sip of coffee and said, "It’s all speculation until we get there and see for ourselves."
Zhang Guifa, eager said, "So you’ve decided to go help? When should I book your flight?"
Long Fei raised an eyebrow.
Zhang Guifa quickly corrected himself, saying, "Sorry, I was too anxious. These decisions are, of course, yours to make."
Long Fei calmly said, "I can help, but business is business, and it is better to be clear about some things ahead of time."
"Of course, whatever your conditions are, just state them; I’ll agree to anything."
Zhang Guifa had already been aware that Long Fei wouldn’t help for free; he was prepared.
Long Fei named his price, "Here’s the deal, my conditions are simple. There are six coal mines, I want three. If you agree, we’ll leave the day after tomorrow. If not, there’s no point in discussing further."
"Three?"
Zhang Guifa frowned out of worry, having thought that Long Fei wanted shares or cash, never guessing he’d want the mines themselves.
Long Fei naturally would not want to partner with him; such a person was bound to get into trouble and land in prison.
Owning three mines outright would be better for Long Fei.
One mine yielded billions of yuan in a year; three mines would mean tens of billions.
More crucially, Long Fei suspected that this place might be related to the Secret Realm and could be another passageway into it.
In the future, these gateways would be like doorways at busy intersections.
Whoever controlled them would have a strategic advantage.
Although it hurt, Zhang Guifa was not stingy; he knew how to maximize his benefits.
"Done, I agree."
Zhang Guifa gritted his teeth and decided, agreeing to Long Fei’s terms.
Long Fei took another sip of coffee and said, "That settles it then. Have a lawyer come to Lin’s Group to sign the contract, and we’ll leave the day after tomorrow. Don’t worry about the plane ticket; I can buy my own."
"Done, done, that’s settled then."
Zhang Guifa nodded excitedly. With six mines now abandoned, his salvaging three was still a win.
Even if Long Fei had demanded five, he would have considered it.
Because, the issue seemed contagious.
If not resolved soon, the other mines were likely to start having problems as well.
After saying goodbye, Long Fei returned to Lin’s Group.
He shared the negotiated terms with his wife, who wasn’t at all pleased. Instead, she asked curiously, "Why are you reaching into the coal mining business? That’s not an easy trade."
Without strong connections, operating coal mines was no mean feat.
Mines were constantly collapsing, and workers were perpetually causing trouble; it was quite a headache to deal with.
Long Fei said with a smile, "I have my plans for this. Have someone sign a contract with Zhang Guifa first, and then I’ll do an on-site inspection before deciding."
Lin Yingying curved her lips into a smile and called up the group’s lawyer on her phone.
Long Fei told her, "I’m going to visit Grandpa at Longjiawan Village later, and if you feel like getting out for a bit the day after tomorrow, we can go to Jinxi together. If you don’t want to go, I’ll just head over there by myself."
"Let’s decide when the time comes!"
Lin Yingying was still unsure if she would be free the day after tomorrow. She had thought that Long Fei would stay and spend more time with her this time he was back, but unexpectedly he was about to travel again.
After Long Fei left, she glanced at her schedule and called her secretary to postpone all of her appointments for the day after tomorrow.
Such thrilling occurrences were naturally something she had to witness for herself.
Long Fei drove away, first stopping at a supermarket to buy heaps of health supplements, clothes, fruits, cigarettes, and alcohol. Then he drove to a mobile phone shop near Binhai University.
He parked the car and looked up.
The shop still looked the same as it used to. A woman in a professional short skirt glanced at him from inside; at first, she seemed startled, but then she ran out on her high heels.
In her haste, she nearly tripped over as she opened the door.
"You, you have time to come here?"
The woman brushed her hair, looking at Long Fei with excitement.
She was none other than He Yan, the proprietress of this mobile phone shop.
Before Long Fei moved away, he had purchased the shop and gifted it to her.
He didn’t harbor any special intentions; he simply wanted the people around him to live well.
Money was just a number to him, and helping anyone amounted to helping everybody.
As long as someone he knew was in need, he never refused to help.
Long Fei looked at her with a smile, as unrefined as ever, "Aren’t you going to invite me in for a tour?"
He Yan laughed awkwardly and quickly stepped aside to welcome him inside.
The employees gazed at Long Fei, puzzled by the boss’s sudden politeness towards a student.
They then glanced at the car outside and clicked their tongues in wonder, speculating that this student must be a rich second-generation, young and already driving an Audi Q5.
Long Fei stared at the counter for a moment; the mobile phones inside were all popular domestic brands.
He asked He Yan, "How’s business?"
He Yan replied, "It’s okay. The customers around here are mostly students, and they have pretty strong purchasing power. I mainly focus on after-sales service; if we make that excellent, they’ll come back for a second time."
"That’s a good approach."
Long Fei looked at her with a smile, thinking that she truly was an experienced shop assistant, very clear about the ins and outs of the business.
Nowadays, physical shop sales were suffering, all taken over by online stores.
High prices were one issue, but the key problem was that both the after-sales service and customer care were lacking.
As long as you provide excellent after-sales service, there’s no worry about attracting customers.
He said to He Yan, "I’m planning to visit the village, and I want to bring some gifts for the folks. How much stock do you have left? I’ll take it all!"
"Ah?"
He Yan was shocked for a moment, then she hurriedly instructed her employees to bring out all the mobile phones from the storeroom.
From low- to high-end models, from the latest to the ordinary ones.
Boxes of mobile phones filled up the entire counter, with over two hundred varieties.
She wrung her hands, worried that Long Fei might not be satisfied, and said anxiously, "Is this enough? If not, hold on, I’ll call the supplier to deliver more goods immediately; they could arrive this afternoon."
"This is enough!"
Long Fei took out his bank card with a smile.
He Yan immediately waved her hands and said to him, "What are you doing? The shop is all yours; how can I take your money?"
The employees all stood in shock, realizing that this man, who looked just like a student, was the legendary figure who had bought the entire mobile phone shop for He Yan. Today, they finally got to see him in person!
