Chapter 1053 - The Huang Family’s Affair

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Although Zhao Ying wasn’t willing to doubt what Wang Xiaoyan said, she didn’t want to complicate things. The facts were in front of her eyes, and she couldn’t help but think this.

From the production date marked on the box, it was only recently produced. Zhao Ying sighed secretly and put the box carefully back in its original place.

She was somewhat dejected and sad. She didn’t understand why Wang Xiaoyan wanted to deceive her. However, what if she told the truth? She knew that Yang Ming was very fickle in relationships. Even if he had something with Wang Xiaoyan, Zhao Ying wouldn’t say much. Besides, she didn’t have the right to say anything.

But now? Zhao Ying felt like a fool, being deceived by her best friend. Zhao Ying thought that all of this was just a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding. However, this possibility seemed to be small.

Quietly lying in the tub, Zhao Ying’s mind went blank. She didn’t know how to face Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming in the future… Should she treat them as usual or as a stranger?

Zhao Ying was really in a dilemma…

It could be said that Huang Lele really was cheated into going back home. Her elder brother called to say that her father was looking for her for something, but he didn’t mention anything about an arranged marriage. Not until Huang Lele went back home did she realize that her family’s investment in Africa had a problem!

In the second half of last year, the Huang Family invested in a giant gold mine in a small country in Africa, Country X. They spent five billion US dollars to purchase the mine’s mining rights for one hundred years.

Of course, most of the money came from bank loans. In addition to these funds for the purchase, the mining equipment and employment of the mining staff had already cost nearly one billion US dollars. In total, the total investment exceeded six billion US dollars.

However, according to the amount of ore content in the mine, it would take less than one hundred years. The cost would be recovered in about twenty years, and then it would only be pure profit in the future!

With such a huge profit, how could the Huang Family’s boss, Huang Rongtian, not be moved? After discussing with the family’s elder, Huang Xiaofei, he invested all his family’s money.

However, both Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei made a fatal mistake, which was to ignore the political situation in Africa’s Country X! In this kind of country where the government changed faster than the season, it was impossible for the average person to participate in it!

Only half a year later, the interim government that they signed the contract with collapsed. The former president also took all the banknotes and fled. They thought that after the new government took over, it wouldn’t change the signed contract with businessmen to gain public support. In fact, most of the deals weren’t changed. Only the contract signed with the Huang Family was rejected.

Other businessmen had more or less local private armed forces, so no matter which government took over, it wouldn’t simply provoke them.

However, the Huang Family was different. They were only businessmen. They had no support in Country X. As soon as the new interim government was established, it destroyed the previous contract between the previous government and the Huang Family. It wanted to extract a large amount of military money from the Huang Family. Of course, if the Huang Family couldn’t get the money, it was still fine. The brother of the new president, General Kars, was an iron ore owner. If General Kars directly handed the mine to his brother, he wouldn’t even have to buy the equipment.

Due to the downfall of this small country’s interim government, the regime had changed, so the contract signed by the Huang Family was really wasted paper. If the Huang Family wanted to continue mining, then they must re-sign the agreement with the new securities leader.

It was just that the other party had asked for a ridiculous condition. It asked for five billion US dollars for the gold mining rights. Although the contract seemed to be very generous, it was a contract for two hundred years, and Huang Rongtian also understood that two hundred years was just a lie. Even if he signed a thousand year or even ten thousand year contract, the newly established regime would still not recognize it after the interim government was overthrown.

For this kind of ungrateful move of leaving the benefactor in the lurch, the Huang Family wouldn’t allow this to happen. The Huang Family was also a famous family in Singapore and had a high social status. How could they endure being bullied one-sidedly?

Huang Rongtian immediately looked for General Kars to reason with him, but when the gun muzzle was placed on Huang Rongtian’s head, he suddenly woke up.

In this small African country where there was no diplomacy and no participation in the United Nations, there were no laws at all. It could be said that the supreme leader here was the law. Anyone who dared to disobey him would be eliminated by him.

Amidst General Kars’ sneers, Huang Rongtian carefully retreated and didn’t dare to mention anything.

However, it didn’t mean that the Huang Family would do nothing if they didn’t say anything! Because Huang Rongtian wasn’t reconciled, he was unwilling to lose his money just like that. It was impossible to have him pay five billion US dollars!

Most of the five billion was borrowed from the bank by mortgaging current businesses. Now there was a problem with the mine in Africa. It was already not bad for the bank not to urge them to repay the loan, let alone lend them another sum of money.

Just when Huang Rongtian was desperate, he suddenly received very important news! The Li Family also wanted to invest in the mining industry in Africa! The Li Family was also a big family. Their financial resources were comparable to the Huang Family’s financial resources. It was only that the businesses of the two companies were different in the first place, so there were few opportunities for cooperation. Now he heard that the Li Family was also preparing to invest in mining. Huang Rongtian was interested immediately. He looked for the Li Family’s current helm, Li Tianjia. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the Li Family had business dealings with General Kars. This was the most crucial point!

Li Tianjia and Huang Rongtian were about the same age; he was the eldest son of Li Zhicheng. Li Tianjia was very indifferent to Huang Rongtian’s visit. He did not agree nor did he disagree, but only said that he would consider it.

When Huang Rongtian saw Li Tianjia’s indifferent attitude, he knew that this matter was relatively impossible. After all, there was no significant benefit. Why would Li Tianjia want to cooperate with him?

To form an alliance with Li Tianjia, Huang Rongtian proposed a marriage. In the beginning, Li Tianjia was not very interested in it, but when he saw the photo on Huang Rongtian’s mobile phone, his eyes immediately widened. Huang Rongtian had to call him several times, and only then did Li Tianjia regain his consciousness.

However, Huang Rongtian did not care at all, he was delighted secretly. It seems that Li Tianjia likes Lele, then this matter is still possible.

Sure enough, Li Tianjia tried to evade. “Rongtian, I won’t disagree about this marriage. We are both noble families with a similar social status. However, don’t we have to consult our parents for this marriage? I basically agree with it, but I still have to discuss with my dad!”

“That’s fine!” Huang Rongtian said with pleasure after listening.

After Huang Rongtian left, Li Tianjia told Huang Rongtian’s intention to his father, Li Zhicheng. Of course, he didn’t hide the matter about marriage mentioned by Huang Rongtian. Li Zhicheng listened to Li Tianjia, but he didn’t express his will. He and Huang Rongtian’s father were different. Huang Rongtian’s father, Huang Xiaofei, had already handed most of his powers to Huang Rongtian, but Li Zhicheng didn’t. He still had the decision-making power to the major matters.

“Father, I think this is very beneficial to us!” Li Tianjia saw that his father didn’t express an opinion, so he couldn’t help but say.

“Do you fancy the girl in the Huang Family?” No one knows a man better than his own father. Li Zhicheng knew his son’s mind at a glance.

“I…” Li Tianjia’s face was red. Indeed, it was like what his father said. He did fancy Huang Lele.

“Marriage is a big event. Africa’s investment is even more important!” said Li Zhicheng slowly. “Although we have cooperated with General Kars, our relationship with him is not very close. Moreover, now General Kars is already the supreme leader. He is different from the past. He may not respect my face! He won’t give up the hard sought financial resources because of my words, right?”

Li Tianjia nodded silently. Yes, what father said is indeed true. After all, this is not a trivial matter.

“The benefits are definitely there if we participate in this matter, but the key is whether it is cost-effective or not!” Li Zhicheng sighed and said, “If it is just cooperation, I may have promised it, but this marriage… you should be clear that once the marriage is formed, then our Li Family will be on the same line as the Huang Family. Their problems are our problems… At that time, we can’t get out even if we wanted to!”

“I understand…” said Li Tianjia said. “Father, I won’t think about it anymore.”

” Hehe , I didn’t say that this thing is completely impossible!” Li Zhicheng saw his son’s appearance and said in amusement, “Let’s do it this way. Let me consider it to see if this is a good deal; then I will look for a time to call General Karls to see if he will buy my face!”

When General Kars seized his power by armed forces, he received financial support from Li Zhicheng. Although his current status wasn’t the same as previously, General Kars was also a nostalgic person. When he knew that it was Li Zhicheng, he was very enthusiastic and chatted with Li Zhicheng.

However, when Li Zhicheng asked about the gold mine invested by the Huang Family, General Kars was in a dilemma. Logically, he should buy Li Zhicheng’s face, but if he bought it, then the money would be gone. So he hesitated and said, “Mr. Li, you know that I just became the supreme leader. I need money for many matters… If…”

“I understand what you mean, but I will also participate in the partnership in this gold mine, so I hope the rent can be reduced a little…” said Li Zhicheng.

“Let me think about it, then we will talk again.” After all, General Kars couldn’t completely not give face to Li Zhicheng, so he promised to consider it.
