163 episodes. And a year has passed since that day.
‘What are you two whispering like that?’
Looking at Jonathan and Jackie, I was curious about the conversation.
To be in front of people and only talk to each other.
If it was Korean, I could have known it by reading it, but there was no way to confirm it because it was in English.
“What are you talking about?”
The two suddenly opened a distance in response to the irresistible question.
“it’s nothing.”
Jackie smiled awkwardly, waving her hand.
“I work, work. Uncle?”
“Uh, yes. I have to work, I’m busy.”
I looked at the two of them and said.
“The busy work is almost over…”
“It’s over! It starts now! Right, uncle?”
“Okay. Mine, yes, now that we have taken over the mine, we need to prepare for mining. We also need to build a tunnel again and set up the equipment again.”
“I don’t know about the mine, but the equipment is in Denver. You can take over it. It’s useless equipment there, and above all, you know the cost.”
“Yes. You should do that first. Right, right.”
what? What were you talking about to make such gibberish?
“Mr. Denver should take care of that. Until the employees return, I’ll leave it to you anyway, whether subcontracting with other companies or whatever.”
“Okay. I will prepare as soon as possible.”
“Don’t rush it too much. It’s not an open pit mine, and you have to dig deep into a tunnel, so safety is our top priority.”
“That’s basic. Don’t worry.”
“Well, but what are the names of the companies the two of them will create?”
Jonathan said looking at Jackie.
“Let’s make it a berry. How about it?”
“If you use my last name, you might be mistaken for an agricultural company.”
“Then what would be good?”
“How about Alltech?”
It means technology, which means technology.
“Jackie, doesn’t that sound like an all-mining affiliate?”
“It also means we’re close to each other. You don’t like Edward?”
“No, I don’t hate it…”
I glanced at Jonathan.
“Haha, I like it because it’s strange and right for me to pursue technology.”
“Then let’s do that. I think I’ll be fine other than that.”
A situation where the three people agree and the mission is set.
As the next step, I showed Jackie and the prepared geological map and designated a place to install the tunnel.
It was then that the meeting became so long.
“hello?”
-Edward, this is Lina.
The sudden call was from Lena Danehart, president of Jencock Brostacking.
“Oh, Lina. What’s going on?”
-Henry said he was in Perth? I’m also in Perth, how about dinner? Let’s talk about Hong Kong.
“Okay. When do you have time?”
– It doesn’t matter at any time. Edward, come when it’s convenient for you.
“Then are you okay tomorrow?”
– Of course, ho ho. see you tomorrow.
When I hung up, Jackie asked.
“Are you President Danehart?”
“Yeah, it looks like you’re back from Pilbara. You invited me to the dinner party. Would you like to go with Jackie?”
“No, I have a lot of work to do with you right now.”
“It’s because there’s no need to rush.”
“Even if you start right away, it takes at least a year to build and mine the mine. Since you have acquired the development rights, every minute and every second is money, so is it okay to waste time?”
I licked my lips and shook my head.
’cause it’s not wrong
***
Deep Water Point. (Deepwate Point.)
It is a representative wealthy village in Perth along the lower reaches of the Swan River that leads to the sea.
It was equipped with facilities for mega-yachts to anchor like the Queen Elizabeth, and the villas along the river were all in the form of luxurious pool villas.
Perth is a famous silver town in Australia.
It was a place where retired wealthy people went to spend the rest of their lives.
“Come on.”
It wasn’t a palace-style mansion like the old Trenus’ house, but it was a luxurious enough structure.
It was too big to live alone.
‘I have so much wealth, but I don’t really have a family…’
Like Henry, Lina was also running out of time to run the company.
Jencock Brostacking inherited from a lot of mine development rights but full of debt.
She said that she worked tirelessly to protect the company her father left behind.
In the process, they rented mines to companies such as Lao Tinto and Forescue Metal and took a partial fee, but in the end, they took one step to develop their own mines and came this far.
“The view is very charming.”
It was the balcony where she prepared dinner.
At the same time, the sunset light was seeping into the river, creating a subtly mysterious atmosphere in the sky.
“Is it okay? I’ve only been living in the wasteland, and when I first came here, I was like, ‘Oh! I’ll have to live here.’ Although I spend most of the year in Pilbara.”
“Still, it’s a work place, and this is a house to return to. It’s a house with such a wonderful view. I’m envious.”
“Ho-ho, then I’ll give you one. The last house over there is empty now, so it’ll be fine.”
“Ugh, no. How can I get a house like this as a gift? The Maserati you gave me last time is enough.”
Lina smiled and said.
“I told you back then. I’ll give you a present if things go well with Baosantz Metal. I heard from Henry that he roasted and boiled the real power, shouldn’t we get a house, ho ho ho?”
Oh, it was.
I used to say that when I came to see the year-end fireworks festival.
I didn’t go to Hong Kong hoping for a reward, but I thought it would be disrespectful if I refused to give it to him again and again.
“Then I’ll be grateful. Are you our neighbor now?”
“That’s right, ho ho ho.”
“There is a saying in Korea called “neighbors.” It means that they treat their neighbors as close.
“That’s a good thing. A neighbor right next door can be closer than a distant relative.”
“That’s right. Like that saying, I hope you’ll get along like a family in the future.”
“For all mining with Jencock.”
She held out a glass of wine to me.
“For all mining with Jencock.”
After facing the glass, I savored the sweet wine.
After that, we enjoyed a meal and chatted for a while, and she asked me about my work in Hong Kong.
“Behind Baosantz Metal was the triad boss.”
I told about the Sanju Yangagwan in Sinuian and their faction fight.
And in the process, I was able to win his heart, and I told him the story of how he went to Macau and met Stanley Wu, chairman of SWM Group.
“It seems that he was still alive. He must be quite old by now…”
“Do you know Lina too?”
“I heard it over and over. Most of the upper-class Chinese come to Macau. I heard that Chairman Stanley didn’t pass by them again.”
With a connection to China in the case of coal exports, she seems to have heard about Stanley from them.
“Lina, how about the development of Louis Hill?”
“Currently, we have entered the final stage of environmental evaluation and construction of Seongsam C&T’s infrastructure has begun. We are planning to start the railroad construction after repairing the roads first.”
“How about Seongsam C&T?”
It was a question about whether there were any delays in construction or other troubles.
She understood perfectly and answered questions.
“No problem, so far.”
“Is there any possibility that the upper level of Seongsam C&T did not convey their true purpose to the field?”
“I think it will. I’ve heard that Seongsam C&T employees are highly motivated. Since it’s the first large-scale project in Australia, I think they have the will to make it a success.”
If the morale of the field was that high, it was obvious that they were hiding their purpose.
Ironically, they are doing things to demoralize employees from the inside, not the outside.
‘It’s probably just a tool to use.’
No matter what their hearts are, it is enough to achieve their goals.
In the process, he only thinks about the goals of the organization, regardless of whether the individual is angry or disappointed.
“Is the Trojan horse that Henry spoke of in it?”
“Hoho, it’s perfectly planted. If Seongsam C&T tries to delay the construction, everything will remain as evidence.”
The Trojan Horse was prepared by Henry in preparation for their feat.
And the trust I got from the Yang-gwan behind the Baosantz Metal.
When those two are combined, Seongsam C&T will be able to stop it no matter what it does.
“Are there any other variables or problems?”
Lina carefully opened her mouth.
“It’s not a problem, but there is one thing.”
“What?”
“There is a person that Chairman Andy Forescue has been meeting with frequently recently.”
“Who are you?”
“Jaden Parker, president of the Royal Crown. You know who Edward is, right?”
Why is that person here again?
“Jaden Parker is meeting Andy Foresque? Since when?”
“It hasn’t been long. It’s been a few months since Edward left for Hong Kong.
Looking at the time period, the thought crossed my mind.
Before going to Hong Kong, the Melbourne Cup was probably the cause.
“You seem to have a bad feeling because of the trouble you had with me.”
“You had trouble with Edward, not Henry?”
It seems that she thought it was a problem with Henry because of the name of the Royal Crown.
I immediately told you about the bets at the Melbourne Cup.
“It must have been pretty shameful that you lost to me then.”
“So, after conducting a background investigation, you came into contact with Forescu Metal, our hostile force.”
“Perhaps.”
“It’s safe to say that the Royal Crown is Australia’s best in terms of cash mobilization, but it’s annoying.”
“I’ll see you once. It seems like it’s because of me.”
“What are you going to do with me?”
What should I mark?
But I can’t say it straight up.
“You have to meet him to know for sure if he’s really trying to get revenge.”
“Then don’t do that and leave it alone for a while.”
“Leave it? Annoying?”
“It’s annoying, in other words, it’s just annoying.”
Oh, yes.
Annoying means cumbersome and cumbersome.
In a word, it is not a big problem, so it is not bad to leave it alone.
“Do you know what Jaden Parker is called in the business world?”
“……?”
“The hand of the minus, isn’t he the idiot who blew up the P&B group in 5 years?”
“Hahahaha, I know what you mean.”
That idiot will drool no matter what he does.
If Andy Foresque holds his hand, it will be easier to spot their movements.
“But what made you come to Perth?”
With her question, the topic naturally shifted to All Mining.
I started talking about Denver and Lao Tinto, starting with meeting Professor Saxony Coober at Curtin University.
“Jonathan Denver…”
“I wanted to take over the technical department of All Mining, but until the end, they told me that they wouldn’t work under anyone. First, we decided to start as a cooperative relationship.”
“Still, I’m glad we got a first-class engineer in that way. The hardest thing in this industry to get is a skilled engineer. We also worked hard.”
“Still, it will take some time for All-Tech to be organized and ready.”
“In the meantime, what are you planning to do with All Mining?”
“The expedition we had been putting off, we need to start in earnest.”
I told her that I would travel all over the world, starting with the development rights that had been transferred to her.
And a year has passed since that day.
