Thinking about Huo Sining just returning from Mizhi, Badasang's heart suddenly jumped, faintly guessing something. His gaze toward Huo Sining became fervent. Badanile, after all, had lived decades longer than Badasang, naturally possessing deeper scheming and fortitude than his son. Although he also sensed that what Huo Sining was about to say was related to gambling on mines, his demeanor remained calm. He shot a deep glance at Huo Sining, quickly nodded at Badasang, and then stood up: "Miss Huo, please follow me." Gambling on mines is of great consequence, and Badanile certainly wouldn't allow any missteps. He led Huo Sining to a highly concealed secret chamber and activated soundproofing equipment, ensuring nothing would go wrong. Only then did he look at Huo Sining, eyes carrying a subtle expectation, saying: "Miss Huo, go ahead." "General Bada, I can't say much more about specifics. I can only tell you that I discovered a jade mine, and it's a large one. The raw materials are Mogang jade from an old site with over a forty percent chance of yielding green." "Based on my preliminary survey and calculation, the mineral vein should be about one kilometer long, with a depth exceeding thirty meters." Huo Sining's expression was very calm, as if she was merely exchanging polite remarks about the weather. Yet, the news from her mouth stupefied both Badanile and Badasang. No matter how powerful Badasang and Badanile were, they couldn't have predicted the news Huo Sining was about to deliver. They thought Huo Sining had discovered some clue in Mizhi and then came to report to them, seeking their assistance in finding a jade mine. They never expected Huo Sining would bring back such a bombshell! The jade gambling industry is high-risk precisely because ten gambles out of nine end in loss. A large jade mine with a green yield rate of forty percent, what does that mean? It means the Bada Family can directly open the raw materials for sale as cut jade, enabling them to earn several dozen times more money than selling jadeite raw stones. It also means that in the next ten, even twenty years, the Bada Family can rely on that large jade mine to sustain the family's operation and expansion! As soon as Huo Sining finished speaking, Badasang was stunned on the spot, his mind blank, unable to recover for a long time. Even with good composure, Badanile was somewhat unable to sit still upon hearing this news. He surreptitiously swallowed, suppressing his inner excitement, looking at Huo Sining with urgency and confirming repeatedly: "Miss Huo, is this matter true?" Huo Sining nodded: "I naturally have absolute certainty before daring to come to the General with this. Currently, only I know the exact location, so I'm here to confirm one thing: does the General's previous promise of fifty percent profit still stand? If not, I'll look for another collaboration team. The General can consider and decide." Refusing a giant mineral vein is foolish! Dividing fifty percent is insignificant; even after sharing fifty percent, they will gain more than from a medium-sized mine! Moreover, Huo Sining sharing this news with them shows her sincere intention to collaborate. The Bada Family is struggling, and Badanile has no reason or time to refuse. "Miss Huo, there's no need to consider this. Although the Bada Family has split into two factions now, and things are indeed a bit chaotic, I still have the final word on collaboration matters. You need not worry about the profit division." "Though I am old now, my credibility is absolutely dependable. So, Miss Huo, rest assured, since I've agreed to fifty percent shares, I will not shortchange you a single bit!" Badanile's eyes revealed excitement and madness: "I will soon arrange the mining team. Miss Huo, whenever you are available, we will proceed immediately, sparing no effort to mine the vein!" Though sitting in the head of a major Myanmar family for many years, Badanile thought far beyond what Huo Sining envisioned. A large mineral vein equals several medium ones. With this large jade mine, their family won't worry about funding sources anymore; perhaps they can soon even match or surpass the Zhaton Family's influence. In the coming years, as long as they maintain a good relationship with Huo Sining, and invite her to gamble on one or two more jade mines, their family's stable development and consolidation of status might even make it possible for the Bada Family to become the top among the five major families! The current Myanmar military government emerged from a coup staged by a super large family decades ago. If the Bada Family prospered, they might even launch a coup, overthrowing the current government, and control the entirety of Myanmar to establish a new military government! Badanile fantasized boundlessly in his mind about the marvelous blueprint, fully immersed in the joy brought by the enormous surprise from Huo Sining, unable to extricate himself, indulging in his fantasies. This is quite understandable; as the saying goes, those who do not wish to become generals are not good soldiers. The five major families in Myanmar have been fighting for many years, each leader having a strong desire and ambition, hoping to stand out and rule over Myanmar. Unfortunately, they haven't achieved this over the past decades. Read complete version only at novel·fire.net As for why, opportunity plays a part; more importantly, it's a lack of funding. Due to financial constraints, each family's warlords couldn't expand drastically, resulting in each one clinging to their territory and unable to engulf other family powers, thereby causing the five-family balancing situation. If any family suddenly strengthened and broke this balance, Myanmar's situation might be reshuffled, bringing the Bada Family a real opportunity! No man can resist the desire for power internally. Now, Huo Sining has brought a glimmer of hope to Badanile, and even as he approaches seventy, he cannot help but covet and aspire to the military government. "I have no issue on my side; whenever the Bada Family is ready, we can set out." Huo Sining is unaware of what Badanile has in mind; she's simply a Huaxia businesswoman. In business, concerns beyond that are not her concern, nor does she intend to interfere. She has only one goal, to help the Bada Family monopolize dominance, thereby pushing out the Zhaton Family. She can both avenge her kidnapping by Zadon and secure a long-term supply source for her Jade Beauty, ensuring she won't worry about its future development.
