Chapter 394 The Man Holding the Torch

Friday, September 5
The auction of the property led by the mining syndicate creditors was held at Melanie Twilight Auctions.

The biggest selling point of this auction is the series of mines under the name of the original mining consortium.

During the auction, these mines almost passed the auction. It is reported that some large consortiums with intentions feel that their attitude is unclear and are still waiting and watching.

However, in the final stage of the auction, a dark horse named 'Rock City Mining Co., Ltd.' came out and snapped up these mines with lightning speed.

In the end, these mines were sold at a price of 2.5% off the market price.

The land of the former mining consortium building was given away as a gift at the auction.

That night, the flag of the mining consortium that had stood on the mine outside Rock City for decades was taken down and thrown at the feet of the cheering crowd.

Monday, March 5
Witt stands in front of the roaring construction site, watching the giant unmanned machinery dismantle the last part of the mining group building.

The huge excavator swung slightly and hit the orbital mining machine emblem on the front of the building.

The emblem of the mining consortium that had stood for nearly 100 years fell from the sky, fell to the ground, rolled in a circle, and slowly leaned against the gradually collapsing building of the mining consortium, like an old but brand-new tombstone.

Soon, pieces of construction waste spread under its feet, burying it together.

Looking at the huge emblem that was gradually buried by broken cement bricks, a smile finally appeared on Witt's tense cheeks. He took apart a piece of chocolate and bit it in his mouth.

"How do you plan to use this land in the future?"

A crisp female voice sounded behind him.

"I have already donated it to the Rock City government. There is no national cemetery in Rock City." Witt chewed on the chocolate, staring at the dusty area. "Maybe it will be built as a cemetery in the future."

"cemetery?"

The female voice behind her was obviously a little surprised.

"elder brother?"

At this time, a muscular figure ran over, it was Ivo.

He glanced at Witt, and his eyes fell on the professional beauty beside Witt who was wearing a white shirt, black silk skirt with hips, and a high ponytail. "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce, this is Miss Lena from Norlanka Bank."

Witt stretched out his hand gently and made an introduction, "The loan for our purchase of the mine comes from Nolanka Bank, and the interest rate is much lower than the market interest rate."

"Ivo, hello."

Ivo stretched out his hand and introduced himself.

"Hello," Lena smiled,

"Mr. Witt said very well about us. We are also here to do business. Kaya City is undergoing large-scale industrial construction and lacks raw materials. We have agreed in the contract that the minerals from your mine will be sold to us first. of."

"But now we don't have any sales channels at all, even if we have mines, we can't sell them."

Witte chuckled, "Nolanka Bank is still different from other financial institutions."

"Mr. Witt's flattering."

To this, Lina just responded with a smile.

Nolanka Bank helps the Miners Mutual Aid Association, and the cooperation between the two is indeed mutually beneficial.

With the start of a large number of construction projects in Kaya City and the creation of jobs, the Noranka Group's demand for raw materials has increased significantly.

The federation's mining monopoly alliance is already negotiating to increase the price of some minerals, earning a fortune from the Nolanka Group.

Although their price increase has been accurately calculated and is within the tolerance of the Nolanka Group, it also made the Nolanka Group realize that it cannot be blocked by people in terms of ore.

They urgently need an ore supplier of their own, whether as a stable ore supply source or as a bargaining chip with the mining monopoly alliance, it can greatly alleviate the ore dilemma of the Nolanka Group.

At this time, the Rock City Mining Consortium, which had mastered rich and diverse mineral resources and faced great economic difficulties, entered the sight of the Nolanka Group.

However, it is impossible for the Nolanka Group to help the mining consortium, which is a group of people who hate ghosts, and the Nolanka Group only needs mines, and does not care about other fixed assets such as factories and real estate of the mining consortium.

So when the mining consortium went bankrupt, the Nolanka Group also helped push it.

But there is a problem here. The Nolanka Group cannot come forward to take pictures of these mines by itself. Because of the existence of the miners' mutual aid association, the price to be paid to buy these mines is actually very high.

Moreover, it is well known that the Nolanka Group is short of ore recently. If it participates in the auction rashly, it will easily be vigilantly attacked by other large consortiums, who will raise the price and pay unnecessary extra costs.

In fact, the Nolanka Group just needs a stable ore supplier who will not be wooed by the mining monopoly alliance.

In this regard, the Miners' Mutual Aid is an almost perfect match.

As a miners organization that once resisted the Rock City Mining Consortium, the Mining Monopoly Alliance is vigilant, and it is impossible to accept the Miners Mutual Aid Association.

The miners' fraternity will not join the group of people who have oppressed them.

Therefore, the Miners' Mutual Aid will definitely become a firm ally of the Nolanka Group, and the Miners' Mutual Aid will operate the mine by itself, directly eliminating the additional cost, which means that the mine can be operated with the least amount of money.

Of course, this plan was not proposed by any investment manager or executive at the beginning. In fact, Nolanka Group, like other consortiums, was very vigilant about the Rock City Mining Consortium at the beginning.

Rock City, a northern city, was not the focus of the Nolanka Group's previous development, and it had no influence in the area.

However, the market environment in Rock City after the arrival of the evil god was too complicated, and all executives were worried that if they invested in it, they would become muddy cows, and they would not be able to get out.

At this time, Eve came up with a simple analysis report after finishing the analysis, and found the contact information of the Miners Mutual Aid Association.

After contact analysis and in-depth investigation, the two parties finally finalized the loan plan.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no emotional factor.

After all, this is a large investment in a completely unfamiliar object in a completely unfamiliar area. If the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association collapses, or has other thoughts, the money is likely to be wasted as expected .

The money was not a small sum, and it was finally decided by the old butler Danny for the simple reason, 'Master Vian would like us to do this. '

And this loan matter was also completed by Lina, the secretary of the board of directors, who came to Rock City in person.

"Brother, when did you contact Nolanka Bank?"

At this time, Ivo looked at Witt in a daze, he had never heard of the name of this bank.

"They found it themselves."

Witt replied calmly.

The two didn't deliberately suppress their voices, so Lena on the side could easily hear their conversation.

"The information of the Miners Mutual Aid Association is automatically pushed to us by the system. According to our artificial intelligence calculations, investing in Rock City will be a very good deal."

Lina explained with a smile.

"What artificial intelligence is so powerful?"

Ivo became curious.

"Her name is Eve," Lena opened her hand, and a little girl in a white skirt projected into view,

"This is the anthropomorphic image she designed for herself. She is an artificial intelligence compiled by our chairman. She has a strong learning ability and can be said to be the strongest artificial intelligence in the Federation."

Ivo felt that Lena would be extremely proud and excited when he said the word chairman.

"Hello, Ivo."

Eve, a little girl in a white dress, waved at Ivo.

"Hello, Eve."

Ivo also waved his hand in response.

He looked at the little girl's projection, and for some reason, he always felt that this expressionless mechanical Eve knew him before.

He thought about it, and felt that since he was so famous now, it was reasonable for the other party to know him.

After all, his mecha combat has spread throughout the Federation.

Accidentally became a celebrity hahaha.

After saying hello, Eve's projection disappeared.

"How does Mr. Witt plan to develop this new company?"

Lina looked at Witt and asked softly.

"In the tradition of the miners' fraternity, this should be one,"

Witt looked at the building of the mining consortium that was gradually turning into ruins in front of him, "The mining group belongs to all miners."

Hearing his words, Lina was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "It seems that no one has ever walked this road."

"But someone has to go and look around, doesn't it?"

Witt took out a new piece of chocolate and peeled it off little by little.

At this time, he felt his wristband vibrate, and it was a document sent by Lina.

"Maybe you'll like this book."

Lina behind said slowly.

Witt opened the file, which was a photocopied book called,
"What does the world depend on to 'distribute' wealth?" "

Two months later
A man in a long silver coat carried a bouquet of flowers and walked through the narrow tree-lined path.

This is a park cemetery, and it hasn't been long since it was repaired.

The man walked along the path to the end and saw the only grave in this cemetery.

A cold tombstone stood there.

[Nel Rotter]
[-739 757]
[A holy soul sleeps here. ]
[He allowed everyone in this city to have the right to breathe, but he himself lost his breath. ]
There are bunches of flowers placed under the tombstone, some flowers have gradually withered, some flowers are still bright and pleasant.

These flowers are packaged differently and in different shapes. They seem to come from many different flower shops and many different people.

The man squatted down gently, looking at the brand new photo on the brand new tombstone.

The young man in the photo looked up with a gentle smile, looking forward, as if he was looking at the person in front of the tombstone, and he seemed to be looking at the future.

The man puts the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone.

The evening wind of the silent night brushed his hair and his clean face.

"Are you his friend?"

A soft inquiry came from behind.

"That's right, a friend who has never met."

The man stood up slowly and looked behind him.

Standing behind him was a gentle young man in dusty overalls and dusty round-rimmed glasses.

The young man had a small mining pick pinned to his waist and a huge work bag on his body.

"You are this?"

the man asked softly.

"A few lights inside are broken. The maintenance master is off work today. I happen to be free. I'll come over and change it."

The young man pointed to the inside of the park.

The silver-clothed man glanced at the young man and asked softly, "Can I watch?"

"Of course, it's not something to keep secret."

The young man laughed.

Then he walked towards the park with his work bag on his shoulders, and the man in silver followed behind him.

The two passed one streetlight after another.

The bright lights cast two long parallel shadows on the ground.

"Are you a miner?"

The man in silver looked at the small pickaxe on the young man's waist.

"No, it's a decoration," the young man said casually,
"It was left to me by my youngest brother. He entrusted me with another brother. I don't know why he trusts me so much, but I can't live up to his trust."

With that said, he stopped in his tracks, "Here we are."

The man in silver raised his head and looked around.

It was pitch black all around, only the faint light from the street lamps in the distance.

At the moment they were standing under a dead street lamp.

"There was a thunderstorm two days ago, and the lightning protection device in this park has not been installed yet, and these lights were broken."

The young man took out a small flashlight, put it on his head, took out two shoe covers with smart locks and put them on his feet, and quickly climbed onto the street lamp.

He quickly removed the broken street lamp and replaced it with a new one from his work bag.

Bright lights shine again.

The young man quickly slid down from the light pole, walked to another street light that was extinguished, and quickly replaced the bulb.

The silver-clothed man looked at the surrounding scenery, "It seems that few people come here, and no one cares that the streetlight may be replaced a few days later."

At this time, the young man had already climbed onto the third street lamp, which seemed to be the last one. He swiftly put away the old light bulb and replaced it with a new one, and said softly, "Someone will still care."

The bright light slowly came on, shining on the originally dark path.

This street lamp stands beside a Y-shaped fork. After the light is lit, a stumbling old man walks out from another fork.

He raised his head and glanced at the young man who was still on the street lamp, gave a thumbs up with a smile, and then left slowly.

"Those who are illuminated will care."

The young man got down from the street lamp, stood at the fork in the road, and looked at the staggering old man, "It's like someone holding up a torch in the dark night. Although the light is weak, it will always illuminate some people around us."

"There is not only darkness in the night, but also storms, and flimsy torches are easily extinguished."

The man in silver looked at the street lamp above his head, walked to the fork in the road, and said softly.

"But after all, it illuminates some people. Those who have seen the light, there will always be some who will light new torches."

Having said that, the young man turned his head and looked at the man in silver, only to find that the man in silver was looking at him with a smile.

The two smiled at each other.

The two shadows dragged out in the night, they pointed in the same direction, and landed on different forks.

The wind in the night blew the clothes of the two of them.

On the screen of a commercial building not far from the park, the current news of the day is being broadcast.

"This afternoon, Christos, the mayor of Chenxi City, arrived in Rock City and will pay a short-term visit to Rock City to discuss post-disaster assistance with Mayor Wright.

"It is reported that the reconstruction materials purchased by Chenxi City and aiding Rock City have been dispatched from various places the day before yesterday..."

boom--

A thunderclap resounded through the sky.

It seems that a storm is coming.

　It's a bit of a calf, it's a bit later, I can't stay up late recently, I will have a lot of plots tomorrow, and I will add more in two days.
