Chapter 464 Cooperation Achieved
"Uncle Dong.
Lu Yuan greeted Dong Mu politely.
"Get in the car first."
Dong Mu took Lu Yuan's hand and walked towards the volcano gray luxury hover car, speaking to him affectionately as he walked.
"Don't go back this time.
From now on, I will live at my uncle's house and just find someone to look after me at the mine. There is no need to suffer there myself.
Uncle has a daughter who is about the same age as you. I will introduce you to her later."
Dong Mu's enthusiasm indeed exceeded Lu Yuan's expectations, and his closeness to him didn't seem to be fake at all.
What he said to himself made Lu Yuan suddenly realize.
Lu Lingfeng dared him to take Lu Feng to "leave his hometown" and come to a "remote" place like Lilwa Star. He might have planned to let him follow Dong Mu from the beginning, and Dong Mu would take care of him.
Dong Mu is a typical Jiu Duoling person in both his surname and appearance.
He is also a nobleman, a second baronet.
Maybe it was because of these two reasons that I became friends with Lu Lingfeng.
On the way to Dong Mu's Mansion, Dong Mu kept holding Lu Yuan's hand affectionately to greet him, completely treating him as his nephew.
If it were his predecessor Lu Qiyuan, he would have already firmly recognized this uncle who fell from the sky.
But Lu Yuan's mind was still very clear.
The last time he purchased a waste mine, Dong Mu, as the middleman, took out 90% of the money. He clearly remembers it.
This guy is definitely an old fox.
Lu Yuan had already labeled Dong Mu in his mind.
"arrive."
Twenty minutes later, the hover car stopped at a manor near the outskirts of Red Diamond City.
The area and level of luxury of this manor far exceed that of the Lu family.
There are many servants and bodyguards in the manor, and various drones are cruising back and forth over the manor. From far away, we can even see small drones passing by from time to time. It can be said that the defense is very tight.
"Don't be offended, that's just my personality.
If you don’t stay at your own place, you will always feel insecure.”
Dong Mu explained to Lu Yuan with a smile.
Lu Yuan asked casually, "Where is Uncle Dong from?"
"Beizhenxing."
Dong Mu said with emotion: "This small planet is not called this name anymore. You must not know it.
Your father has heard of it, and according to him, the Lu family's ancestral land is very close to Beizhenxing."
Lu Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Dong Mu kept talking, telling Lu Yuan some past things, of course most of them were related to Lu Lingfeng.
Lu Yuan listened silently.
The two of them walked all the way to the depths of the manor, into a gorgeous castle-like house.
After entering the door, Dong Mu said hello to Lu Yuan and left alone.
Lu Yuan and Lu Feng were led by their employer's servants into a luxurious lounge.
After a simple wash, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Yuan was then taken to a spacious and elegant study room. Dong Mu, who had changed his clothes, was sitting at the reception table, already waiting for him quietly.
Compared with before, Dong Mu at this time had a more calm and elegant temperament.
"sit."
Seeing Lu Yuan come in, Dong Mu smiled and asked him to sit down.
Then he started making tea for him.
The brewed tea is served in an exquisite tea cup with white porcelain and gold rim, showing a light reddish brown color.
Lu Yuan picked up the cup and smelled an indescribable rich aroma, like boiled milk. He took a sip, but the taste was sour with a touch of bitterness, and the aftertaste was extremely sweet.
"
This is the specialty bitter mud tea of Red Diamond City. It is brewed by grinding dried wild fruit into powder.
The taste is a bit strange, and you may not be used to it the first time you drink it, but if you drink it more, you will know the benefits.”
Dong Mu introduced Lu Yuan with a smile.
Lu Yuan nodded, took another sip of tea, and then waited quietly for Dong Mu's next words.
"Your father contacted me and said that you have mediocre qualifications, out-of-touch personality, and disobedience to discipline, so he asked me to take more care of you.
Now it seems that he was too modest."
Dong Mu looked at Lu Yuan and sighed softly: "If the one in my family can be half as calm and calm as you, I won't have to worry about everything even at this age."
"Uncle Dong is too generous."
Lu Yuan shook his head and listened to Dong Mu continue to speak.
"I heard that you want to purchase the abandoned mine?"
Dong Mu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, finally getting to the point.
"yes."
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Are you planning to open a waste mine recycling and processing company?"
Dong Mu asked with a smile: "I can understand that you are out of your father's control for the first time and want to do something in your career.
But there are some things that you still have to think about before doing them. It’s easy to make mistakes when your brain gets hot.”
"Uncle Dong's lesson is right."
Lu Yuan said calmly: "I do have plans to open a waste mine processing company.
But the main purpose of recycling waste mines is not this, but to regenerate energy. "
"Energy regeneration?"
Dong Mu frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of Lu Yuan's words.
Lu Yuan deliberately moved his body slightly closer to Dong Mu, lowered his voice a little, and said: "I know a friend who has been doing research on how to extract the source of breath insect fluid from bismuth metal waste mines for these years.
Uncle Dong should know how valuable the Origin Insect Extract is."
Dong Mu had a surprised expression on his face, "Succeeded?"
"That's not true."
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "But he did find out how to extract the bismuth metal contaminated by the body fluid of the source insect.
I bought this technology from him at a high price, and this is also the core of my next business plan."
"Oh?"
Dong Mu's eyes brightened slightly, picked up the teacup, and asked calmly, "How much usable bismuth metal can be extracted from one ton of waste ore?"
"It depends on the quality of the waste ore."
Lu Yuan said seriously, "Generally speaking, the yield can reach one-tenth of the normal one."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he obviously noticed that Dong Mu's eyes had changed a little.
But he kept shaking his head.
"One tenth is too low."
Lu Yuan was a little "anxious" and sat closer to Dong Mu, and "impatiently" argued: "Uncle Dong, one tenth is not low.
Don't forget, waste ore is not valuable."
"Waste ore is indeed worthless."
Dong Mu said slowly: "But have you considered it?
Transportation, storage, and your extraction process are all costs.
After all the calculations, how much profit is left?"
"This"
Lu Yuan was "speechless" for a moment.
He pretended to be thinking awkwardly, and after a moment of silence, he said "unwilling to admit defeat": "Anyway, there must be some profit.
And it must be much more comfortable than working hard to mine."
"That's right."
Dong Mu half leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Mining requires money to buy mining rights and purchase a lot of equipment. It's not easy to get mining rights for the current mines on Lilwa Star.
For you, this is indeed a very suitable entrepreneurial project."
"Uncle Dong means to support me?!"
Lu Yuan's face was full of "surprise", and then "grateful" said: "Uncle Dong, don't worry, as long as you help I will take care of the shipping channels.
I will definitely give you a share of my business. "
"What are you talking about? You are Ling Feng's son. I will help you just like I help my own son. It is only natural. How can I ask for any benefits?"
Dong Mu shook his head and said, "I will take care of the shipping channels for you.
I am going to attend a dinner party tonight. There are a few people at the party who can help you with this matter.
You can talk to them more at that time."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
In the following time, Lu Yuan and Dong Mu talked further about the relevant matters of "this business".
During the conversation, Dong Mu gave Lu Yuan a lot of valuable suggestions.
Lu Yuan was "greatly inspired". In addition to being close to him, he also became more "respectful" and "grateful".
Finally, he took the initiative to ask that after the matter was completed, 30% of the profits of the business should be given to Dong Mu, just as Dong Mu's "connection investment".
Dong Mu "refused in every possible way", but could not resist Lu Yuan's "sincerity", and finally had no choice but to accept it.
"With Uncle Dong's promise, I feel more confident now..."
An hour later, Lu Yuan looked at the cooperation agreement with Dong Mu drafted on his personal terminal with a happy face, and said with great satisfaction: "Uncle Dong, don't worry.
I will definitely do a good job on this matter and won't let you down.
My friend has already said that after a while, the technical process may be further improved, and the yield may be increased from one-tenth to one-fifth, or even one-third or one-half...
By then, it won't be a small matter."
"Hehe."
Dong Mu smiled at Lu Yuan's "ambition" and said nothing, but just reached out and patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
After everything was settled, Lu Yuan seemed to remember something again, and said seriously: "There is another thing I want to ask Uncle Dong.
Don't tell my father about my cooperation with you in starting a business. I don't want him to know."
"Understand."
Dong Mu smiled and nodded.
Then he looked at the retro wall clock on the wall of the study and said to Lu Yuan: "It's almost time.
You go and pack up, I'll take you to the dinner."
"Okay, Uncle Dong."
Lu Yuan stood up in a good mood, and his attitude towards Dong Mu was much closer and more respectful than before.
He turned and walked out of the study.
When Lu Yuan's figure disappeared at the door of the study, Dong Mu picked up the teacup in front of him.
He wanted to take a sip, but found that the tea in the cup had already cooled down, so he put the cup down again.
"What am I looking forward to?"
Dong Mu shook his head and said to himself: "I wasted more than an hour of my time."
After a while, he casually clicked on his personal terminal communicator and said majestically: "Contact the lady.
Tell her that she must be present at the banquet tonight.
Otherwise, don't recognize me as your father in the future."
At the same time, Lu Yuan walked out of Dong Mu's study, and the joy, excitement, and excitement on his face suddenly subsided.
The whole person returned to his original calm state.
"It went well."
Lu Yuan had no intention of hiding his purpose from Dong Mu from the beginning.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he bought up a lot of bismuth metal waste ore.
There are countless people studying how to separate bismuth metal ore contaminated by the source insects. He has made some small achievements here, which is nothing at all.
But Dong Mu didn't know that Lu Yuan's utilization rate of bismuth metal waste ore was 100%.
And he didn't need any cost at all, and he could handle all the processes by himself.
“One-tenth of the productivity, excluding non-existent costs, really means there is no profit at all.
Dong Mu looked down upon him, but for me, a young aristocratic who had just left the wings of his father’s generation, was full of passion and was ready to show off his talents, it was a very suitable opportunity.
Sharing 30% of the profits will also allow Dong Mu to help me with my work."
In addition, Lu Yuan also "borrowed" five million Duo Ling coins from Dong Mu as a start-up capital on the grounds that he was short of money and refused to ask his family for money.
For more than an hour, he shouted "Uncle Dong" every time, and it was not in vain.
“Purchasing waste mines, swallowing them and absorbing them, can restore strength.
The extracted bismuth metal substance can be sold in exchange for funds, which can also be used to prepare the materials needed to purchase the demon robots that will be unlocked on the main panel of [Spirit Eater. God Demon Seed (Super Mythical)]."
This opportunity in Lu Yuan is perfect.
Once implemented successfully, from then on, his path forward will become like a snowball, getting bigger, faster, and smoother.
Lu Yuan was in a good mood and felt that the trip to Red Diamond City was worth it.
The purpose before coming here has basically been achieved, and what is left is real entertainment and relaxation.
He was led to the rest room by the servants of Dong Mansion and put on clothes specially prepared by Dong Mu.
Lu Yuan went out and met Lu Feng, who had also changed his clothes.
Then he waited quietly in the hall.
Ten minutes later, Dong Mu, dressed as an aristocrat, appeared.
Only this time, there was another person beside him.
She is a girl who looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She has a graceful figure, sweet appearance, and particularly white skin.
Wearing a burgundy evening dress made of light silk fabric, exquisite amethyst earrings and ruby necklace.
The whole person looks dignified, elegant, beautiful and noble.
But the girl's expression was full of displeasure, and she reluctantly followed Dong Mu with a stinky expression.
"Uncle Dong."
Lu Yuan greeted Dong Mu politely and courteously.
Dong Mu smiled and nodded, then pulled the girl behind him to introduce him: "This is my daughter, Dong Lingxue.
He should be a few months older than you.
This is Qiyuan, the son of your father’s best friend. Why don’t you say hello? ! "
Dong Mu frowned as he spoke to the girl.
The latter greeted Lu Yuan reluctantly.
Then, without waiting for the two of them, he held up the hem of his evening dress, turned around and strode out the door.
"This girl"
Dong Mu looked at Dong Lingxue's back as he walked away, his expression worried and helpless.
"Every day I hang out with a group of uneducated guys, and my character becomes more and more rebellious. Now I almost don't even listen to my words."
"It's the rebellious stage. It's like this. It'll get better after a while."
Lu Yuan comforted casually.
Dong Mu sighed and nodded, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but said to Lu Yuan: "I really envy Ling Feng to have such a capable and sensible son like you."
"Uncle Dong is too complimentary."
"Let's go. If you're later, you won't be able to catch up."
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Dong Mu greeted Lu Yuan to set off.
The group of people quickly left the house, then boarded several luxurious and elongated hover cars, soaring into the air and driving quickly in a direction.
