Cafeteria.
Second floor.
Qi Yi and the survey team sat at over ten tables. Looking around, they couldn’t associate this place with a cafeteria; it felt like a Hotel.
These tables.
These chairs.
This decor.
Saying.
Don’t they care about costs? After experiencing Hotel-like facilities, everyone was almost numb. It didn’t feel like a sea voyage but a vacation.
Soon.
The dishes were served.
With a single bite, everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Delicious!"
"The taste is really good."
"Mm mm!"
"..."
Due to the no wine rule on the ship, there wasn’t a single bottle on the table. They didn’t mind; after all, not everyone here lived for wine, and the beverages were equally enjoyable.
Nowadays.
With the widespread application of Modulation Solution in fruits, vegetables, spices, and other fields, many new drinks have erged, providing a real treat for the taste buds.
Delicious.
Yet not addictive.
Thinking of the Modulation Solution, Qi Yi’s hand paused slightly.
Then.
He sighed lightly. It was the end of February, and March was almost here, signaling the start of the annual Auction. Thinking about last year’s transaction volu.
Qi Yi couldn’t help but feel a shiver.
Over four hundred billion.
In U.S. dollars.
Almost half of Myanmar’s GDP was generated in this one day, even though production spread out over the year, orders concentrated on this one brief day.
It’s quite exaggerating.
Not sure how it will be this year.
The sa.
An improvent.
It’s still unknown.
But.
Qi Yi knows Myanmar Bank Group will make a huge profit again. Not to ntion, the demand for Modulation Solution has greatly increased compared to last year.
Therefore.
Myanmar Bank Group is likely to increase supply. As long as the Transcription Fluid remains unlocked, Myanmar Bank Group will ensure several hundred billion dollars a year.
It’s too profitable!
...
Full.
Satisfied.
Qi Yi wandered around on the Floater, admiring the night view. He then ventured into the slting area, arriving at the silver outlet, gazing at the silver bricks.
No matter how many tis he looked, it never seed enough.
Six drills.
Drilling from the afternoon until now, all the mined ore was not stored but was entirely slted into silver bars, weighing over fifteen tons.
Heavens!
This is too productive.
In terms of value.
Exceeding one hundred million RMB—if mining continues, just the silver bars here could pile up into a small mountain. During this, he received many calls.
Leaders.
Colleagues.
And various state-owned mining enterprises—all showing great interest, happy that the Floater could only stay for a few days.
Regarding this.
Qi Yi, of course, knew what was going on.
After all.
If the Floater stays and doesn’t leave, how can the state-owned enterprises obtain mining rights for this site? Refining minerals is not as profitable as mining. Just like oil.
Insiders know, oil profit lies in extraction.
Refining.
The profits are really not high.
Therefore.
State-owned enterprises are eagerly hoping for the temporary withdrawal of the Floater. After seizing this mine, they can continue mining, securing significant profits.
It is estimated.
There will be a lot of people running to the ministry, and who ultimately acquires it depends on each’s ability. Anyway, Huaxia profits.
...
The outside world.
Is paying more attention; the number of people in the live broadcast never fell below eight million, the silver bars erging are simply pleasing to the eye.
Tonight.
Many people plan to leave their Computers on.
Absorb so wealth.
At this mont.
As the drilling depth continued, no one doubted it was a Silver mine anymore; those claiming it was just surface deposits almost disappeared, with everyone waiting for.
The reserves.
"I guess, at least three thousand tons."
"Nonsense."
"At least five thousand tons is normal."
"Six thousand."
"Eight thousand."
"..."
"Ten thousand."
"..."
It was almost like an Auction.
Everyone was ’bidding’.
A half-day extraction of fifteen tons, valued over one hundred million. Rough estimates show, based on current data, calculations exceed two thousand tons by standard.
Therefore.
The ten-thousand-ton estimate isn’t too far-fetched.
...
In the East, night falls.
In the West.
It’s morning.
Waking up to the news, moods were instantly dampened. A ten-thousand-ton-class Silver mine can definitely rank among the world’s top.
God!
Can you look after us? We don’t ask for Gold Mines, just a couple of Silver Mines of this size will do.
No need for more.
At this ti.
With this news, people started taking the floating mining platforms like the Floater more seriously. When they don’t find good mines, it’s fine, but when they do.
It’s a potential goldmine!
Worldwide.
Various mining enterprises.
Started to take notice, though the probability is low, bear in mind the seabed is a largely untapped area, unlike the land, which is full of scars.
Finding a good mine is profitable.
Look left.
Look right.
Apart from Qingyuan Technology, nowhere else is selling such technology. So capable of Scientific Research started preparing to officially launch seafloor mining projects.
Those without technology, gazed eastward.
Purchase.
The most straightforward way.
So.
When they asked over the phone.
"..."
Many almost hurled the phones in frustration—the quote was too high, starting at twelve billion dollars. To get a Floater, it requires a whopping forty billion dollars.
Oh damn.
God.
Strike down this money-grubber, why not just rob? Forty billion dollars, enough to build an Aircraft Carrier, and you’re selling civilian equipnt for this much.
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
So.
They didn’t even bother negotiating. Forty billion dollars, even with a big discount, thirty billion, even twenty billion dollars, it still felt expensive to them.
Obviously.
This kind of equipnt won’t be priced at half.
Then.
What’s the point of haggling?
However.
After calming down.
Looking at the silver bar output again, excitent reignited, realizing that if they found a mine of this magnitude, the quote didn’t seem so hard to swallow.
Half a day.
Yielded over a hundred million.
One day.
Two hundred million.
"..."
Damn.
You can’t calculate like this, at this rate, you’d recoup the investnt in a year. And not just recoup, but make a huge profit. Reality clearly isn’t this optimistic.
...
Next day.
In the morning.
The sun rose from the Sea surface.
On the Floater.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four."
"One two three... four."
"..."
A group of people jogging around the whole ’Island’, those were the Security Departnt, training twice a day, covering quite a distance per lap, but there were no complaints.
After all.
During previous service, the intensity was much higher, now it’s just a warm-up. Gazing at the distant blue sea, they felt a deep sense of wonder.
Many didn’t grow up by the sea.
Want to see the sea.
Not allowed.
Now.
Seeing it every day, until they’re almost sick of it, prior to boarding, they underwent a six-month-long Training, apart from standing as Security guards.
They had other roles.
Rescue.
Lifesaving.
Firefighting.
...
They have many odd jobs, with Security just one part of it.
Naturally.
With so many ’odd jobs’ on their shoulders, the Treatnt is not low, an initial salary of five thousand, with subsidies and performance bonuses, they earn at least ten thousand RMB a month.
Even during the previous Training period, they could receive over seven thousand.
All in all.
They were very satisfied, and this is without the Annual Bonus. If profits are good, the yearly bonus might exceed the salary, not to ntion other various benefits.
If they continued working.
No claim of reaching life’s peak, but surely surpassing most people.
