“A wasted bid? This is an excellent result compared to the bankruptcy of the family!” Li Zhichun said coldly, “At that time if people reclaimed our mines just like when General Kars took back the Huang Family’s gold mine, we won’t even have time to cry.”

“Indeed, losing money is still a small matter. Who knows how Yang Ming will torture us at the time?” Li Tianjia also followed up with Li Zhichun’s words. Although he also felt that the current withdrawal of funds was somewhat regrettable, relatively speaking, he did not want the family’s overseas business investment to be too large and let Li Tianyu’s status exceed his.

Although Li Tianyu knew that Li Tianjia was acting against him to a certain extent, what Li Tianjia said was still very reasonable, so he had to accept this reality. “Well, it is just an effort in vain.”

“It can’t be said that it is in vain.” Li Zhichun waved his hand, “After all, our two mines were also obtained through competitive bidding. It was not easy to get them. Naturally, it is impossible to sell at the original price. There are labor costs in it as well. Just like the half a gold mine we won through bidding. If we sold it to Mr. Bobby, Mr. Bobby will definitely not only spend the money we bid for, he will give us the corresponding reward.”

“That is also true.” Li Tianyu nodded and said, “Let’s contact Mr. Bobby first.”

“Get me his phone number. I will personally invite him to come and talk.” Li Zhichun informed Li Tianjia. Although the guest house they lived in was specifically prepared for these investors, a character like Bobby, who had a room in this guest house, would not stay here. He would stay at his nearby villa.

Li Tianyu and Li Tianjia quickly began to look for Bobby’s contact information on the investor contact roster issued by the venue. People like Bobby would naturally be in front of the list, so they found his phone number quickly.

Since Li Zhichun made the decision, he didn’t want to delay and quickly dialed Bobby’s phone number.

“Hey? Hello, is it Mr. Bobby?” Li Zhichun’s voice sounded very respectful.

” Oh , yes, this is Bobby. Who is this?” Bobby picked up the phone and asked politely. Now, although he had a relatively high status in Country X, there were still figures of higher status than him, such as Yang Ming, Li Qiang, and General Kars.

“I am Li Zhichun, the owner of the other half of the gold mine… hehe …” said Li Zhichun.

” Oh , it turns out to be Mr. Li. Do you need anything?” When Bobby heard that it was Li Zhichun, he was somewhat baffled. Although the authority of the mines was confirmed, it was too fast to talk about cooperation. Isn’t this Li Zhichun a little too anxious?

“It’s like this. I wonder if Mr. Bobby is free. I want to talk to you,” said Li Zhichun.

” Oh , for a chat? Well, we can meet up in my room in the guest house in a while after my dinner…” Bobby said, ” Hmph … do you know my room number?”

“We know it. There is a record on the contact roster.” Li Zhichun said as he fumbled across the roster, “On the third floor, the presidential suite 3A-1, right?”

“Yes, then see you later at seven o’clock in the evening,” said Bobby.

“Okay, I will be there on time,” Li Zhichun said quickly.

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, Bobby promised to meet him, which was a good thing. Li Zhichun believed that as long as both sides met and the price he offered was not so outrageous, Bobby would certainly accept.

After all, if two companies operated a gold mine at the same time, there would be many inconveniences. It was difficult to achieve reunification in mining opinions. Inevitably, there would be disputes. In this way, no one would be happy.

Therefore, as long as Li Tianjia showed his intention to transfer, he believed that Bobby would be happy to take over the gold mine.

“How is it? Father?” Li Tianjia asked.

“Fortunately, Bobby agreed to meet me at seven o’clock in his presidential suite in the guest house,” said Li Zhichun.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Li Zhichun arrived at the 3A-1 presidential suite on the third floor of the guest house. He knocked on the door and heard Bobby’s voice, “Please come in.”

Obviously, Bobby had arrived a while ago, which made Li Zhichun delighted. This meant that Bobby gave him enough sincerity.

Li Zhichun pushed the door of the room and walked in. This presidential suite was much better than the room he lived in. He just had an ordinary room for three which was far less luxurious than Bobby’s room.

Even in such a luxurious room, Bobby did not live in it but stayed in a villa outside. This made Li Zhichun felt a little sorrow. Making comparisons with other people was really exasperating.

“Hi, Mr. Bobby!” Li Zhichun smiled and greeted Bobby.

At the moment, Bobby was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and watching TV. When he saw Li Zhichun, he didn’t get up. He just nodded to him. “Mr. Li, you are here.”

“Yes, Mr. Bobby, how are you? Doing fine?” Li Zhichun didn’t understand the habits of Westerners, so it was a bit awkward to speak with them.

“Not bad, Mr. Li. Seeing that you invited me so anxiously, what is the matter?” Bobby asked.

” Hehe , this is the case. Didn’t we acquire the same gold mine!?” said Li Zhichun.

” Oh , I understand. You came here to discuss with me further on the cooperation?” Bobby asked.

” Oh , no… but it is also true. It is really a matter about cooperation.” Li Zhichun didn’t know how to answer Bobby’s question. He said straightforwardly, “Mr. Bobby, I think it is an unpleasant matter to have two people operating a gold mine together. There will always be differences in opinion.”

“Yes, I think so too.” Bobby nodded. “Did you come to me just to transfer the gold mine rights to you?”

“No… no…!” Li Zhichun quickly waved his hand and said, “Of course not. I mean, I can transfer rights on my half of the gold mine to you.”

“Oh ?” Bobby was surprised for a while. He looked at Li Zhichun excitedly, “You mean you want to sell me the rights of the other half of the gold mine?”

“This is the case.” Li Zhichun nodded.

” Hehe , to be honest, I’m not quite fond of it.” Bobby’s reply pissed Li Zhichun off. In fact, Bobby would be interested in Li Zhichun’s proposal usually, but now… because the other party was Li Zhichun, Bobby had no interest in dealing with him.

General Kars and Yang Ming seemed to have an opinion on this Li Zhichun. They wanted to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. What’s more, Yang Ming had already promised him to hand over Li Zhichun’s gold mining rights to him, so Bobby did not need to buy the rights from Li Zhichun. It would just be a waste of money.

” Ah ?” Li Zhichun’s eyes were wide open. He looked at Bobby inexplicably, “You… you are not interested?”

“That is correct.” Bobby nodded affirmatively.

“You… don’t misunderstand thinking that I want to take the opportunity to scam you…” Li Zhichun immediately guessed that Bobby probably didn’t want him to make too much money and loosened the reins only to grasp him better. So, he continued, “Do not worry. The price will not be too high. It will certainly be very reasonable. You know, I am not an insatiable person.”

“No… no…” Bobby waved his hand. “It is not because of this reason. I really don’t want to buy the management rights in your hands. That is certainly true! Even if you sell it to me at the original price, I wouldn’t want it.”

“What!? You don’t want it even if it is sold at the original price?” Li Zhichun seemed to have some doubts about what Bobby said. “No way? Mr. Bobby, are you kidding me?”

“I’m not kidding.” Bobby shook his head. “I’m telling the truth. I really don’t want to buy the right to operate what’s in your hands.”

“This…” Li Zhichun was really stupefied at the moment, feeling that his brain was short-circuited. He did not expect this scenario at all. He could not imagine that Bobby would say that! Initially, he thought that as soon as he spoke, Bobby would be thrilled to buy the management rights in his hands. Now, Bobby actually said that even if Li Zhichun sold it at the original price, he didn’t want it. This was simply too surprising. “Perhaps, do you want to ask me to lose money and sell it to you?”

“Lose money… hehe …” Bobby paused a little before he continued, “I don’t want it even if you lose money.”

” Ugh …” Li Zhichun really didn’t know what to say. The development of the matter was entirely out of Li Zhichun’s expectation. It was outside of what he could have predicted.

” Hehe , if Mr. Li wants to talk about this, I don’t think we need to continue our conversation.” Bobby smiled and said.

“Wait, Mr. Bobby. I don’t understand. Since you are not interested, why did you bid for this gold mine? Moreover, for this gold mine, you also sacrificed a boxer under your hands. It seems unreasonable.” Li Zhichun asked without hesitation, “If I sell the right to operate at the original price, you are now bidding on the gold mine at the same price. Is there any difference?”

“I bid to have fun. What’s wrong with it?” Bobby smiled.

“Fine, then I have nothing to say.” Li Zhichun was very disappointed, “Mr. Bobby, sorry for bothering you; I am leaving.”

” Hehe , goodbye.” Bobby was still polite, but he appeared to refuse the guests at the door.

When Li Zhichun saw that Bobby had already requested him to leave, he stood up helplessly and walked out of Bobby’s room.

Bobby looked at Li Zhichun’s back, and a sneer crept up at the corner of his mouth. This old brat seems to notice the dissatisfaction of General Kars and Yang Ming too? Are you ready to abandon your business and escape?

How can I cooperate with him? I have to give him some trouble.
