Rebirth: War on the Honest

From ancient times to the present, as a tourist city, it has more or less romantic and relaxing genes, and Sanya is no exception.

Whether it was the smiling tourists along the way or the local vendors shouting and selling, they all expressed their great blessings and goodwill to Gu Yun's singing on the street.

Who doesn't like to watch lovers fall in love and witness the sweet and happy time?

The applause, whistles, and cheers that were filmed with great force came one after another, and many people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of this touching moment.

Zhong Leyi blushed and hid in Gu Yun's arms. The phone in her shorts pocket suddenly rang.

"What?"

"Oh, okay, we'll go back right away."

Zhong Leyi hung up the phone, took Gu Yun's hand and stopped a taxi on the roadside.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yun was still immersed in the performance just now and asked excitedly.

"My aunt came to see me because I didn't know what happened."

...

The taxi drove to the suburbs of Sanya, where Ning Jiayu and her husband Xu Shibin lived in a sea-view villa.

Unlike the real estate that Gu Yun bought early in Jiangcheng, the spectacular architectural appearance and spacious courtyard of Sanya Villa can be seen from a long distance away.

The modern style and luxurious atmosphere of the beachfront often give people a unique first impression.

"Your aunt is quite capable...I didn't notice it at all during dinner yesterday."

Gu Yun looked at it while chatting with Zhong Leyi.

"Of course I can't compare with your boss Gu, but my aunt's family has always been considered wealthy among our relatives."

Zhong Leyi shrugged. It was her first time to visit the newly purchased villa by her aunt and her family.

Entering the door of the villa, a large garden comes into view, with pleasant scenery and abundant flowers.

There are various green plants in the garden, such as big-leaf ficus, phoenix bamboo, spider plant and other flowers, giving people a natural feeling, as if they have entered a sea of ​​green.

In the center of the garden is a circular fountain with flying water and fresh air that makes people feel comfortable and happy.

"Oh, Le Yi and Xiao Gu are here, come in quickly."

Ning Jiayu and a middle-aged man stood at the door with smiling faces, welcoming Zhong Leyi and Gu Yun into the house.

"This is my uncle, this is Gu Yun, my...boyfriend."

As soon as Zhong Leyi walked in, she keenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong.

Obviously, neither my parents nor Uncle Gu came, and my aunt and her family specially invited me here.

After seeing this detail, Zhong Leyi specially introduced it to her uncle Xu Shibin, who had never met Gu Yun.

Although the two of them were still angry, after all, they were visiting relatives together, and no matter what they said, they could not lose their courtesy and face.

"Mr. Gu, I have heard about you for a long time. I have long heard that Le Yi has found a top-notch boyfriend. Our family can only see news about you or the company from the Internet. Today we finally met in person."

The middle-aged man Xu Shibin grinned and took two steps forward, stretching out his hands.

"Young uncle, you're welcome. We are all family members. Just call me Xiao Gu."

Gu Yun smiled and shook hands with Xu Shibin, then walked into the house.

The interior of the villa is also carefully designed, the living room and living room are very spacious and very bright.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unobstructed view of the beautiful natural sea view outside.

Facilities such as an independent gym, swimming pool and barbecue area are connected to the living room. Basically, Xu Shibin has prepared everything you can enjoy.

The warm winter sun poured into the living room through the window, illuminating the entire room. Ning Jiayu and Xu Shibin brought a plate of cut fruits and chatted with Gu Yun.

Xu Shibin is a native of the island. After marrying Ning Jiayu, he returned to Sanya to work hard. He was mainly engaged in the river sand mining industry. Over the past ten years, he has become somewhat famous among Sanya's wealthy circles.

"It's really not working out right now. I can't make much money in a few years, and there are too many bullshit. I really want to change my career."

Xu Shibin and Gu Yun were chatting about stories in their own industries. After talking about this, they lit a cigarette and let out a long sigh.

"This business is really... not that easy."

Gu Yun nodded, recalling the days when he drafted relevant documents in the government office, and was filled with emotion.

River sand mining has gone through a process from white to gray to black.

The scarcity of natural resources and strong market demand determine that river sand mining has always been a very profitable industry.

In the early years, the chaotic and disorderly market grew wildly. With the gradual exploitation of mineral resources, related industrial chains and derivative industries are also booming, such as mining machinery and equipment production, mineral product processing, mineral product transportation, etc., with huge output value and employment opportunities.

Bundle.

Xu Shibin is one of the rich people born in this period.

However, with the changes and tightening of policies, coupled with the environmental pressure we will face in the future, practical operation difficulties are increasing day by day.

Most of the Jiangsha area is a coastal city. The mining of mineral resources will inevitably have a certain impact on the surrounding ecological environment. It will receive a lot of attention and supervision from the government and society to avoid pollution and damage to the environment.

Not surprisingly, the next step in mining will require approval from the waterway authorities and a formal mining license before business can continue.

For example, some small workshops can only go underground, earn some meager profits secretly, and pray not to be caught or get into trouble.

"It's better for you to engage in the high-tech industry of the Internet. How is business lately?"

"We...maybe have less financial pressure. Jiangcheng is full of talents, and we rarely encounter safety and market problems."

Gu Yun scratched his head and chose a relatively polite answer.

Physical enterprises are indispensable for highly skilled talents and technical personnel. Recruiting and retaining good miners when local talents are insufficient is also an important challenge to cultivate and attract them.

The most uncontrollable thing is the instability of the market. The mineral resource market is affected by domestic and foreign market environments, and price fluctuations are relatively large, which will also have an impact on the operations and profits of mining companies.

In comparison, starting a business on the Internet is really the most worry-free way to start a business.

The maximum is 996, what else can I do?

"Xiao Gu, I called you here today because I actually want to discuss something with you and Le Yi."

After drinking several rounds of tea and chatting for a long time, Xu Shibin and Ning Jiayu looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

"What's the matter? Just say it, no need to be so polite."

Gu Yun took a sip of tea and relaxed into the sofa.

Zhong Leyi, who had been silent for a long time, turned her head slightly and winked at Gu Yun, as if she had expected it.

"There are changes in policies from above this year. We are planning to go to the city to apply for a mining license recently, but the sand farm is not large enough and we have to pay mineral resource compensation fees..."

Xu Shibin paused and continued: "I didn't want to talk to you at first, but there was something wrong with the bank."

"That's it."

Gu Yun felt a subtle aura as soon as he entered the room. Coupled with the constant conversation between the couple, he knew exactly what was going to happen.

Exploiting mineral resources requires a large amount of investment, including geological exploration, mining area construction, equipment purchase, personnel training, etc. Financial pressure is often one of the important factors that make mining difficult.

In addition to having funds, the most difficult thing to deal with is the intricate government departments. If you want to obtain a license, you must not only ensure the scale of the enterprise, but the resource compensation fee is enough to pay a lot of money.

Not to mention that after obtaining the license, you must go to the public security, industry and commerce, taxation, port supervision and other departments to go through relevant procedures with the license, and carry out sand mining in accordance with the approved scope, depth, method, and period, subject to unified management.

What is unified management?

What is the scale of management?

In the middle, a lot of up-and-down management is needed, focusing on networking.

At the beginning of the new year, Xu Shibin's capital flow was the first to be unable to sustain under such changes.

"The mining area will be publicly auctioned soon, so can I borrow some money from you? Or how about you becoming a shareholder?"

Xu Shibin patted Gu Yun's shoulder and said slowly: "The loan is not in vain. The IOU is based on the bank interest rate. We are all members of the same family. I will definitely not let you suffer."

As soon as Zhong Leyi heard this, she held Gu Yun's hand and secretly exerted some strength below.

what's the situation?

Borrowing money from your boyfriend?

No wonder I didn't ask my parents to come, otherwise my aunt and her whole family wouldn't be able to speak out.

What is this? We are not married yet!

"Let the others go first. How much is the estimated difference?"

Gu Yun asked.

"The mining time of the mineable area in this auction is limited to before next year's flood season, and the mining volume is limited to 1 million tons. From my experience, it requires at least about 30 million funds to be sure."

"How many do you have?"

"There are more than a thousand."

Xu Shibin looked at Gu Yun and clenched his fists.

"Uncle-in-law, this..."

Zhong Leyi hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but put a little more force on her hand.

She wanted to go over to Gu Yun and refuse on the spot, but she thought about it and did not say this.

She doesn't understand business matters.

But she can still do simple arithmetic. My aunt and her family want to borrow nearly 20 million from Gu Yun?

Although she knew Gu Yun's true net worth, not to mention the various properties of Leyuan Group, the Leying Law Firm she owned was also worth a lot of money, but 20 million was not a small sum at all.

"A bid of 30 million yuan for the mining rights of 1 million tons of river sand means that the selling price of each ton of river sand on the ship must reach about 35 yuan to maintain a small profit. Is this correct?"

Gu Yun's expression did not change and he asked slowly.

"Yes."

Xu Shibin's eyes became more appreciative and he nodded.

"To be honest, I'm not a layman who doesn't know anything about this. Do you think it's possible to sell it for this price? I've never heard of this price."

Gu Yun waved his hand: "Don't talk about business that is obviously losing money. Talking about money hurts feelings."

"It is true that the price is not that high now, but you listen to my analysis."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Gu Yun, Xu Shibin sighed softly and told the truth.

"At present, the price of sand that has been approved for mining has reached 28 yuan per ton. The sand there is transported to the inland. Including freight, it is estimated to be more than 30 yuan per ton. A considerable share is transported to downstream areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

of."

Xu Shibin said while looking at Gu Yun curiously.

How could he, an Internet entrepreneur, understand mining matters?

How does he know this?

"If these demanders do not abandon the near and far away, even if there is no price advantage, at least the transportation cycle can be accelerated, not to mention the quality of Sanya sea sand is better than Jiangsha."

"In addition, now that we have entered the dry season, it is difficult for large inland transport ships to enter and exit, and the amount of sand shipped out is extremely limited. Therefore, the price of sand may rise in the future. If we can make this time difference, we may be able to make a profit."

Xu Shibin was a little anxious and told everything about his expectations.

"These are all your thoughts. In fact, if you can't sell it at this price, wouldn't you lose everything?"

Gu Yun squeezed Zhong Leyi's little hand, indicating that he knew what he was doing.

"Of course, there are risks in any investment. Even if we lose money, we still want to do it."

Xu Shibin added: "We need to expand the company's business scope through this tender and increase the stamina for the company's development. I feel that if we become the leader in the sand mining industry, even if we are losing money now, we will definitely make money in the future."

Gu Yun rubbed his chin and had a question mark in his mind.

Isn't this naked painting?

And where does he have the confidence to make money?

"Honestly, you are not afraid of losing money. Are you planning to engage in cross-border excessive mining?"

Gu Yun asked.

When I was chatting with my aunt just now, I heard about the family history of my uncle Xu Shibin. This man is far from being as reasonable as he was when he was nice and nice at home.

"..."

Xu Shibin was silent.

He really meant it.

"I advise you not to do this. If you make a wrong decision, you will basically not be able to continue in this industry."

Gu Yun pointed to his mobile phone and pursed his lips.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let me tell you why I understand this. The Jiangcheng Water Conservancy Department has long been prepared for rainy days. It has designed and developed the Yangtze River Digital Sand Mining Supervision System in cooperation with our Paradise Group. The first phase has now been completed.

The project is completed and put into use.”

As the leader of the group, Gu Yun doesn't care that much about many specific data, but he is well aware of the latest technologies and methods.

"Using the advanced video collection system of our Paradise Group, the images of the sand mining vessel and the river channel are sent to the monitoring center in real time, so that the sand mining vessel can be monitored anytime and anywhere. The monitoring content includes GPS information, sand mining vessel opening and closing information, sand mining vessel opening and closing information, and sand mining vessel opening and closing information.

Power characteristic information and spatial information such as distribution characteristics of river sand and gravel resources.”

"If you want to do evil things, I can only say that it is impossible in 2014, it is completely impossible."

"Jiangcheng relied on this as a pilot project, and it has received approval from top leaders and will be promoted nationwide this year."

".......No wonder."

Xu Shibin patted his forehead and let out a long sigh, his expression a bit lonely.

The other party is so young, but he is really knowledgeable.

"Forget it, Xiao Gu, we won't borrow this money anymore. What you said makes sense. There is no need for you to take such a big risk and lend us money."

Ning Jiayu was also a sensible person and immediately took over the conversation.

The money will definitely not be borrowed now, and it is unknown whether sand mining can continue.

When people reach middle age, everything seems to be more difficult.

"This is actually not a question of money. It's that policies will have to be tightened sooner or later, and we have to take advantage of the trend."

Gu Yun smiled and smoothed things over.

"Why not explore other industries? Sanya's tourism industry is so developed that investing in related industries is a sure way to make money."

"We don't understand other industries either. It's not that simple..."

The light in Xu Shibin's eyes seemed to be extinguished. His chance of turning over was thwarted by Gu Yun, and he lost a lot of energy.

"I have a friend who is engaged in real estate. He has always wanted to come to Sanya to invest in tourism real estate. Do you want to give it a try?"

Gu Yun extended an olive branch.

"If my uncle plans to go into this business, I can lend you 20 million. If you don't have the confidence, just treat me as a shareholder."

"After all, we are all a family."
