Chapter 240 Everything is ready!

“Xu~”

Looking at the white shadow flashing before his eyes, Su Chen hurriedly pulled the horse’s reins and calmed the frightened horse.

With his left hand on the saddle, Su Chen swung his right leg and stepped off the horse. He shouted angrily at the white shadow in the distance: “Fat Tiger, get over here!”

Hearing Su Chen’s shout, the white shadow stopped instantly, turned around and ran towards Su Chen quickly. In an instant, it ran not far in front of him. Before Su Chen could react, he was knocked to the ground by the white shadow.

This white shadow was exactly the big white tiger that Su Chen had rescued before. In just ten days, its body had almost recovered. This recovery speed really surprised Su Chen. If an ordinary person suffered such a serious injury, he would probably not even be able to get out of bed within a month or two.

“Fat Tiger, didn’t I tell you not to lick me with your tongue? There’s too much saliva!” Su Chen held the big white tiger’s head and pushed it aside with force. Then he sat up with difficulty and wiped the saliva off his face with the back of his hand.

Ever since the big white tiger’s health gradually improved a few days ago and he was able to stand up and move freely, he has become a clingy person, running to Su Chen and sticking close to him at every turn. He no longer has the domineering aura of the king of the forest, but is just like a clingy kitten.

For this reason, Su Chen specially gave her a name – Fat Tiger. As for the origin of the name, it was because Su Chen had watched a lot of short videos recently, and there was a very popular meme “This is not to embarrass me, Fat Tiger.” Thinking that the big white tiger is a tiger itself, he simply gave it this name.

Even the three little ones were not left out. The two little white tigers were named Hu Da and Hu Er respectively. As for the little lynx, Su Chen gave it a name that brought fortune, which just matched the fat orange Yuanbao in the imperial capital.

At this time, Xiao Chen also rode towards this side on a horse, holding an Ak47 in his hand, and there were a few gray rabbits hanging on the saddle.

It stopped about twenty meters away from Su Chen. Looking at the horse that stopped and trembled a little, Xiao Chen helplessly got off the horse and walked quickly towards Su Chen.

“Why is Fat Tiger so naughty? Just now I saw a particularly fat rabbit and was scared into a hole.” Xiao Chen said as he sat next to Su Chen and reached out his big hand to touch the big white tiger.

“Awoo~” The big white tiger took a look at Xiao Chen who touched its butt, raised its head and roared helplessly, as if to say that tigers’ butts cannot be touched, and it just didn’t dare to resist because of Su Chen.

Su Chen patted Fat Tiger’s big head and said with a smile: “This guy is becoming more and more humane now.”

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. If Fat Tiger was in good health at that time, not to mention touching it, it would roar at you even if you appeared in its sight.

After being taught a lesson by Su Chen several times, maybe because it became familiar with the environment and the people around Su Chen, Fat Tiger gradually became docile. Xiao Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, was finally able to pet the tiger.

When he hugged Fat Tiger and petted him for the first time, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears with laughter. It was quite normal when you think about it. If anyone could pet a tiger, especially a white tiger which is extremely rare, who wouldn’t be excited?
Xiao Chen still remembered when Fat Tiger was surrounded and touched by a group of patrolling men in the ranch residential area, the expression on his face was simply one of despair.

“I may have to go back to China today!” Xiao Chen, who was touching Fat Tiger’s butt, suddenly said.

“Return to China? The old man called?” Su Chen paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything when he heard this. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Su Chen, and lit one for himself.

After puffing out smoke for a while, Xiao Chen slowly nodded and said, “Well, it’s not about the Zhengdao Park. The first group of experts who went there have finished their study. They said that some aspects of the construction will have to undergo major changes, so they asked me to go back and take care of it.”

Hearing this, Su Chen understood what was going on. This was about applying controlled nuclear fusion technology into practice. The most direct impact would be on energy construction and… military equipment construction.

For example, aircraft carriers. You should know that our country currently has only one Liaoning ship that was launched last year, and it is a conventional-powered aircraft carrier. It is still far behind the world’s most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

As for the old man asking Xiao Chen to go back, I think he wants to entrust him with an important task.

“When are you leaving? I’ll arrange a private plane to take you back.”

“In the afternoon.” Xiao Chen said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. It was really comfortable to play out for ten days without having to do anything. Unfortunately… it’s all over.

Shaking off the half-burned ash on his hand, Xiao Chen thought of the gold mine and asked hurriedly, “By the way, how is the acquisition of the mining company going?”

It has been almost half a month since this incident happened, and he hasn’t seen any special arrangements made by Su Chen.

“Things have been arranged long ago, but I don’t know how the progress is going.” Su Chen took a deep puff of his cigarette as he said this.

After sending the exploration team away, Su Chen called Pei Rang in China and asked him to find a company with all the complete mining certificates in the entire Bear Country to acquire the company.

But so much time has passed and Su Chen has not received any call from Pei Rang to report any relevant information, and he doesn’t know what the current progress is.

Just as I was thinking about whether I should call Pei Rang to ask about the progress, the phone in my pocket rang.

When he saw the caller ID and found that it was Pei Rang calling, Su Chen smiled and said to Xiao Chen beside him: “We were just talking about this matter, and I didn’t expect the call to come.”

After saying that, Su Chen answered the phone, “Hello, Pei Rang, what’s the matter?”

“Boss, the things you arranged before have been done. Li Li has also flown to the Bear Country to hand over the relevant matters of the mining company to the other party. Li Li will report the details to you.”

Pei Rang also briefly explained the situation of the mining company. The company was a subsidiary of the largest mining company in Russia. It had a complete range of mining certificates. It could be said that as long as it was a mine, the company could mine it.

Of course… the premise is that all relevant fees are paid in full. As for why this subsidiary was sold, it was due to the economic sanctions imposed by the Bald Eagle on the Russians, which led the mining company to cut financial expenditures and reduce some unnecessary subsidiaries.

It’s just that the cost of this acquisition was a bit high, spending a full 1.6 billion rubles, which is about 100 million Chinese yuan. It is considered a big deal in the Bear Country.

Interestingly, this subsidiary was sold as a complete package, which included several hundred workers, a full set of mining equipment and five mines that had been mined two-thirds of the way.

They are all medium-sized mines, such as copper and iron.

All in all, there is not much loss in this purchase price. I bought it mainly for the mining qualification, so it doesn’t matter if I spend a little more money.

“Li Li is now on her way to Listvyanka. I think she will soon reach where you are, boss!”

Upon hearing this, Su Chen knew that Pei Rang called him after they had communicated with each other.

“Okay, I know. Thank you for your hard work!” After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone.

After looking at Xiao Chen, neither of them spoke. They stood up from the ground tacitly and walked towards their respective horses.

“Fat Tiger, you go at the back!” Su Chen grabbed the saddle and rode on, then said to the big white tiger not far away.

If Fat Tiger were to run in front or between them, both horses would probably be so scared that they would be unable to move.

After saying that, Su Chen pulled the reins, squeezed his legs together, and rode his horse towards the residential area of ​​the ranch.

Looking at the two horses running fast in front, Fat Tiger let out a mournful cry and followed them, but his speed was much slower.

Ranch residential area and villas!
“Ah~ This is so cute!” Li Li looked at the three little ones sleeping in the nest, how could she hold back her love, and picked up the smallest white tiger. She originally wanted to take all three little ones out, but the lynx and the big white tiger looked like they were going to bite her when they saw Li Li, so she had no choice but to focus on the smallest one.

Hu Er twisted his body frantically, trying to break free from Li Li’s clutches, but with that little strength he had, how could he break free?

But when Li Li held the little white tiger in her arms, Tiger Two, who had been struggling, suddenly became quiet. He buried his little head in the snow-capped mountains, pressed his two front paws gently, and looked like he was enjoying it.

If Su Chen and others saw Hu Er’s character, they would definitely say, “You little pervert!”
“Hehe~ Little guy, why are you so naughty? You have learned massage at such a young age!” Li Li stroked the little white tiger’s fur, her eyes narrowed with smiles.

At this time, Su Chen and the other man also rode back from the pastoral area on horseback. As soon as they entered the pasture, they heard the patrol team members report that several people had arrived, all of whom were subordinates of their boss, so they let them in.

Su Chen nodded when he heard that, and he and Xiao Chen walked quickly towards the villa. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Li Li sitting on the sofa holding Hu Er.

Seeing Su Chen coming in, Li Li quickly stood up from the sofa holding the little white tiger. Just as she was about to say hello, she saw Fat Tiger coming in from outside the door. She was so scared that her brain seemed to crash. Her eyes were wide open, and she pointed behind Su Chen with a trembling hand, stammering, “Old Tiger!”

After she finished speaking, her eyes rolled up and she collapsed on the sofa. Hu Er, who was in her arms, was thrown out and landed on the table next to her.

“Fuck~” Su Chen did not expect Li Li’s reaction to be so big, and rushed forward to press her knuckles and philtrum.

Xiao Chen was even more ruthless. He directly picked up the cold boiled water on the table, poured a glass and poured it directly on Li Li’s face.

Under the double stimulation, Li Li woke up instantly, and the first thing she said when she woke up was, “Boss, there is a tiger behind you!”

Seeing Li Li’s panic and anxiety, Su Chen smiled and said, “It’s okay, I raised it.”

As he said that, he waved to the big white tiger at the door, “Fat Tiger, come here!”

Li Li saw the big tiger, which was several heads taller than her, walking towards her with brisk steps. After it walked to Su Chen’s side, she saw the big tiger rubbing its head against her boss’s hand again and again.

“Gurgle~” Li Li couldn’t believe what she saw. After swallowing nervously, she suddenly thought of something. The fear in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

“Boss, can I hug it and take some selfies?”

“Selfie?” Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Xiao Chen looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other’s eyes. How could a woman’s brain circuit be so complicated? She was so scared just now, but now she is thinking about taking a photo with the tiger.

Two single men naturally don’t understand why women’s minds are so changeable.

“Um~ If you want to take pictures, you can. Fat Tiger is very obedient!” Su Chen stood up and let Fat Tiger next to him move out. He patted Fat Tiger’s head to signal it to be obedient and not to scare Li Li.

Li Li looked at the huge white tiger so close to her, and it would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous. Although her boss said the tiger would be fine, she couldn’t avoid the natural fear of wild beasts.

Li Li encouraged herself a few times in her heart, but finally the desire to take a selfie overcame her fear. She took out her mobile phone, turned on the beauty camera, and moved closer to Fat Tiger, hugged it and started taking pictures.

After taking several photos, he still seemed a little unsatisfied, so he pulled Fat Tiger to pose in several more positions and took photos for about three to five minutes. After looking at the photos on the phone, he let Fat Tiger go with satisfaction.

“Cough cough~” Su Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, coughed softly at the right time.

Li Li, who was looking at the photos on her cell phone, felt her heart tighten and she quickly put the phone in her bag. The expression on her face changed immediately and the aura of a strong career woman was revealed instantly. There was no trace of the little girl she looked like just now.

Seeing the change in Li Li’s temperament, Su Chen nodded silently in his heart. It seems that the former Secretary Li has now grown into a capable corporate executive.

“Boss, this is the information about the acquisition of a mining company. Please take a look!” Li Li swiftly took out a stack of information from the briefcase she was carrying, stood up and handed it to Su Chen with both hands.

After taking the information, Su Chen waved his hand and motioned her to sit down and talk.

“The company’s current operating efficiency is not very good. The main problem is the corruption of the management, which has been engaged in corruption through selling at low prices, over-collecting and under-reporting. As soon as we took over the company, we conducted an internal investigation and fired all the problematic middle and upper management!”

“No middle or senior management of the mining company was spared. The people I brought with me from the group are currently managing the company!”

“Also, regarding the mining rights of the gold mine that you discovered, boss, I have already purchased it through the parent company of the mining company. They have made concessions in terms of profits and only require you to hand over 8% of the profits!” As she spoke, Li Li took out another document from her bag and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen never expected that Li Li would act so quickly, especially after she got the right to acquire the gold mine. As for the 8% profit that needed to be handed over, Su Chen did not care too much about it.

Recently, he also took the time to learn about the Russians’ gold policy. If it were any other policy, the percentage would be around 10% to 15%, so 8% is already very little.

Looking at the mine transfer right document in his hand, Su Chen looked at Li Li with a smile, shook the document in his hand and said, “It must have cost a lot of money!”

You should know that when a gold mine is discovered, the resources department will send a professional team to conduct exploration to determine under what circumstances the mine transfer rights will be sold.

But no one came to explore Su Chen’s mine, which means that Li Li spent a lot of effort to solve these problems.

“Boss, we spent an extra 100 million rubles. As long as we pay attention to environmental protection and make sure no one comes to ask about our mine!”

Su Chen also understood the reason. The location of the gold mine was less than ten kilometers away from Lake Baikal in a straight line. In addition, there was a river passing through it. If we were not careful, it would cause pollution to Lake Baikal.

By then, even if there really is someone up there, it will inevitably attract other people’s attention.

But these are not a problem for Su Chen. Gold is just a by-product. The real big deal is the rubidium ore. After mining the raw ore, Su Chen will directly transport it back to the country through formal channels.

Exporting raw ore will not attract anyone’s attention. After all, such behavior exists everywhere. In the eyes of others, it is just that you want to cash out the money quickly.

After Su Chen thought for a while, he looked at Li Li and said, “I plan to let you take charge of this mining company temporarily. I will have someone take over after it gets on track. What do you think?”

Li Li fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, she raised her head and said, “Boss, I will stay and take charge!”

This idea was not something Su Chen came up with on a whim. As long as the mining company was on the right track, the management of the company could be completely handed over to Ivan. At that time, all he had to do was mine the ore, load it onto trucks, transport it to the train station, declare customs, pay taxes, and transport it to the country.

As long as the development of the mining area is supervised and no one dares to steal and sell the raw rubidium ore, everything will be fine. This aspect will naturally be handed over to the established private mercenary organization.

For the sake of this private mercenary organization, Su Chen directly asked Tiandi Xuanhuang from Xiao Chen, under the pretext of “making the best use of people”, and also arranged the ranch patrol team into it.

It is very simple for the Russians to form a private mercenary organization. Su Chen had asked Ivan before and found out that he could just go to Irkutsk to register a related company. As long as he abides by local laws, there are not too many rigid requirements.

Su Chen discussed with Li Li the details of the mining company and when to start mining operations. You must know that when the weather in Siberia reaches winter, mining is not possible and they can only achieve maximum efficiency in a limited time.

They chatted until noon and finally finished talking about everything. Su Chen specially asked the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal, one to welcome Li Li, and the other, of course, to see Xiao Chen off!

Just as Su Chen and the other two were happily eating in the restaurant of the villa, two figures hurriedly ran in from outside the door, causing Fat Tiger to roar!
