Moscow, Krasnoyarsk region, Eastern Siberia, Olympia gold one of the largest gold mines in Moscow, this gold mine was discovered by the gold company controlled by Zhao Zunmin in the late 1960s and then incorporated into the gold company.
The entire Olympia Gold Mine has ore reserves of about 300 million tons, of which gold reserves are approximately 1,027 tons.
This is nothing. The gold reserves of more than a thousand tons are nothing compared to the Rand Central Gold Mine in southern Africa. There is no comparison at all.
You know, the Rand Central Gold Mine produces more than 500 tons of gold every year.
In other words, it would only take two years of production to exceed the gold reserves of the Olympia Gold Mine, so how do we compare?
No comparison!
Even so, the Olympia Gold Mine was acquired by Zhao Zunmin and his team. Development began in the 1980s, and nearly ten years have passed until now.
Why was it only developed in the 1980s?
Because this bastard Brezhnev is not so easy to fool. We can only wait until his later years, when his mental state is not so good, to develop the minerals. Then the other party will not focus on these minerals.
"Victor, are you working the night shift today? Do you want to take some time off? Look at your dark circles."
At the mining site of Jinti Mine, at the transport team, Vasily saw Victor coming to work and couldn't help but joked.
"Bullshit, how can this be a black eye?"
Victor laughed and cursed in great dissatisfaction, and Oleg on the other side followed suit.
In fact, all the people present were transport truck drivers of the Jinti Mine. They often met each other and had worked here for seven or eight years, and some even for ten years.
So everyone is familiar with each other and no one is polite when joking or chatting.
"Recently, we are advocating overtime. If you don't want to work overtime, then leave it to me. I'm short of money anyway."
Hearing Victor's words, Oleg, Vasily and the others started laughing and cursing.
At this moment, their supervisor Peter Yuri came over and said loudly:
"Everyone, be quiet. I have something to announce. Starting tomorrow, all overtime pay will be increased by 10%. If anyone is willing to work overtime, please come to my office now to register your overtime hours."
"Also, don't cut back on your rest time just because overtime pay has increased. If you see someone not in a good mental state or making mistakes during work, they will still be fined."
hum!
When Victor, Vasily, Oleg and others heard this, they all cheered.
Although 10 percent overtime pay may not seem like much, it is actually very high.
For ordinary workers like them, any wage increase can improve their living standards and allow their wives and children to live better.
And this is the meaning of these old drivers' hard work.
What's more, with higher wages, they will have more money to spend, such as buying alcohol or going to certain massage parlors.
Looking at these cheering drivers, Zhao Zunmin retracted his gaze, waved his hand to let the driver drive away from Jinti Mine.
Places like the Jinti Mine need to be mined as quickly as possible so that more ore can be shipped back to the country.
At that time, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, due to the coercion of Heru, the country mined rare metal mines in the northwest region to repay debts.
Now Moscow also needs to repay its debt, so it can be said that it is a tit-for-tat situation.
A large amount of ore is transported from the bottom of the mine to the processing plant. After rough processing, it will be transported to the other side and then undergo sedimentation processing. Then these metal materials will be packaged and shipped back to the country by ships, trains and other means of transportation.
When Zhao Zunmin left the Olympia Gold Mine, Zhang Qingshan also entered the Natoka Gold Mine in Magadan Oblast.
The ore reserves of the Natoka gold mine are only 614 million tons, which is not as exaggerated as the Olympia Gold Mine, but the gold reserves have reached 998 tons, making it one of the three largest gold mines in Moscow.
Such a large mine was naturally targeted by Chen Guohua early on.
Looking around the world, there is no other major event like the dissolution of the Moscow Alliance that would allow Chen Guohua to gain more benefits from this vast empire.
Whether it is gold mines, other minerals, or aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, missiles, etc., these have long been labeled as domestic by Chen Guohua and must not be touched by others.
However, today, Zhang Qingshan came to the Toka Gold Mine because someone was causing trouble.
"Wiseniac, what's going on?"
After Zhang Qingshan brought Kudriash to the Natoka gold mine, the mine manager Wisniak came forward to greet them and then reported the current situation in detail.
According to Wisniak, it is currently a leader of the local government department named Menshak who is leading the trouble, insisting that there are problems with the procedures of the Toka gold mine and that mining must be stopped.
Because Menshak has supporters in Moscow, he acts extremely arrogantly.
In addition, Menshak was a native of the local area, so he was very dissatisfied.
Even if he was given money, he would not be happy.
Kudriash glanced at Zhang Qingshan's expressionless face, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
People often give him money to honor him. If he doesn't help them solve their problems, he will probably lose this big sponsor soon.
So Kudriash hurriedly took Visniak, the person in charge of the Toka Gold Mine, aside and gave him some instructions in a low voice.
This matter must be resolved well, no matter what method is used, it must be resolved, otherwise, it will not be so simple at that time.
However, to Kudriash's great shock, Menshak was suspended the next day.
After being suspended, Menshak still wanted to lead others to cause trouble, but he was taken away by the police and put in jail.
The arrogant Menshak was dealt with so easily.
Zhang Qingshan glanced at Kudriash, said nothing, left, and went straight back to Moscow.
If problems continue to arise, Kudriash can no longer rest easy.
The whole of Moscow is in chaos at this time, and anything can happen at any time.
Based on this situation, Zhang Qingshan, Zhao Zunmin, Ma Shouchang and others seized the time and made quick arrangements.
Beijing, Zhenhua Research Institute, in the director's office.
Song Xuyan brought the latest news from Moscow and explained the situation in detail to Chen Guohua.
"So far, the total value of the minerals, gold, oil, weapons, technology, etc. that we have brought back from Moscow has exceeded 3 trillion US dollars, and it will continue to rise."
The figure of 3 trillion US dollars is still very impressive. After all, Chen Guohua can only have such an opportunity to earn such income if the Moscow Alliance collapses.
Moreover, they had started planning for more than 20 years ago, and invested a lot of money. These are all sunk costs.
Without these initial investments, it would be impossible to have such high income now.
Regardless of all this, Chen Guohua felt that the matter was almost over at this point.
Although there will be some subsequent income, it is impossible for him to completely take away all the wealth in Moscow. It will be very impressive if he can take away a few percent.
The most miserable one was Herbert Walker. He worked hard in the front and fought with the whole of Moscow for more than ten years. But in the end, the bulk of the profits were taken away by Chen Guohua. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
But at this moment, it is still a general election year in North America.
As the current squad leader, Herbert Walker must want to be re-elected. Besides, he has been the squad leader for more than ten years. How could he not want to?
However, he has been rather desperate recently, and many people have a bad impression of him because he really did not achieve anything in domestic affairs during his tenure.
Under such circumstances, he still wants people to vote for him?
Stupid means having wild ideas!
"Old Chen, this is the current situation in Moscow. Do you have anything else to add?"
Song Xuyan finished speaking quickly and then looked at Chen Guohua excitedly.
The latter shook his head and laughed dumbly:
"We should learn to be content with what we have. We are already very lucky to have such a large income. Don't be too delusional. Be careful not to be caught by others."
Although Chen Guohua is not worried, if it is possible to avoid a direct conflict with Washington, it is best to avoid it.
Hearing what Chen Guohua said, Song Xuyan nodded.
Three trillion US dollars is indeed not a small amount. Such a large amount of funds and materials entering the country has indeed injected new vitality into the domestic economy.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to the Northwest tomorrow. I'll be gone for about half a month. Do you want to come with me?"
Seeing Chen Guohua say this, Song Xuyan immediately asked curiously:
"Why are you going to the Northwest for no reason? Aren't there a lot of things going on here recently? It's not appropriate to go there, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua directly stated his intention of going there.
It's very simple. He hasn't been to Chang'e Town for a while. It's time to go there. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that there will be a water shortage there.
Over the past period of time, he either stayed in the capital to work, or went to the northeast to hunt and trade, and then celebrated the Spring Festival.
A few months hadn’t passed.
Even though it was winter before, the water consumption in Chang'e Town was not very high, but it is almost spring there now.
If Chang'e Town suffers from severe water shortage, abnormalities may indeed occur.
Why is there a water shortage?
Because today's Chang'e Town is no longer the same town as it was back then.
Since early September 1980, a construction corps led by Xing Zhiming, Chen Qifeng, Li Dongzhu and others has entered the Chang'e Town area to carry out renovation and construction work.
Up to now, eleven years have passed.
Over such a long period of time, the entire Chang'e Town has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It can no longer be called a small town now, it can probably be called a pocket-sized county town. Anyway, the area is much larger than before.
As the area of the entire Chang'e Town increases and the green area also increases, the amount of water required will naturally increase.
Therefore, in order to ensure the normal water supply of the entire Chang'e Town, Chen Guohua makes several trips there every year.
Water must be delivered to the town.
The second is the launch base in the northwest. Chen Guohua also needs to come here to talk to everyone about his concerns.
Previously, Moscow set off a large fireworks display, which caused a great impact. However, according to the feedback received, many engineers at the launch base in the northwest seemed to disagree.
There is no way. Under the leadership of Chen Guohua, the success rate of domestic launch missions is indeed ridiculously high.
There was only one accident and no casualties.
In the entire history of human space flight, it is quite a miracle.
After all, whether it is Moscow or Washington, no matter how powerful they are, they are beaten by Beijing in terms of zero casualties and ultra-high launch success rate.
Since their pride is spreading, it would have been fine if Chen Guohua didn't know about it, but now that he knows, he must take care of it.
After listening to this, Song Xuyan nodded and said that he would not go there because he had a lot of things to do in the capital.
If it's urgent, please call.
The next day, Chen Guohua left the capital, took off from the military base airport in the suburbs and headed straight for the northwest.
In fact, it was just that the space in his ring was not big enough. Otherwise, Chen Guohua would definitely go to Lake Baikal and transport more fresh water from there.
As far as the current domestic situation is concerned, the water systems in the Pearl River and the Yangtze River in the south are relatively developed, while other places are not so good.
On the contrary, Lake Baikal has the largest water storage capacity in the world and is also the deepest freshwater lake in the world.
After the plane arrived in the Northwest, Chen Guohua went to Chang'e Town as soon as possible and released water there.
Then, using the need to follow up on the scientific research projects in Chang'e Town as an excuse, he planned to frequently go in and out of Chang'e Town in the next period of time to provide the town with sufficient fresh water.
The snow water in Chang'e Town itself will not appear until the summer of May and June.
Therefore, in the following months of February, March, April and May, Chen Guohua must supply enough fresh water to Chang'e Town.
In Chang'e Town, Chen Guohua met his brother-in-law Zhu Ronghui and his sister Chen Xiaomin.
The couple were very happy about the arrival of their elder brother Chen Guohua, and they cooked a table full of delicious food to entertain him.
"Is there anything difficult about your recent work?"
After eating and drinking, Chen Xiaomin went to wash the dishes, while Chen Guohua chatted with Zhu Ronghui about work.
The latter is an expert in rocket engine research. After arriving in Chang'e Town, he has been conducting in-depth research in this area.
In fact, the research on rocket engines in China has been very in-depth. (End of this chapter)
