Chapter 140
After dealing with the paradise island affairs, Su Cheng set off to fly to Kalimantan, a journey of about 1450 kilometers.
Along.
Su Cheng flipped through the prospecting team’s report.
It shows that the west coast of Kalimantan, that is, near the port of Pontianak, is the richest area of metal minerals in the whole of Southeast Asia.
Among them, the storage capacity of primary titanium ore is as high as 15 million tons, cesium ore 8 million tons, tantalum ore 9 million tons, rare earth ore 12 million tons, and other selenium ore, silicon ore, germanium ore and so on.
Titanium ore, tantalum ore, rare earth ore, etc., are all urgently needed minerals for smelting Edman alloys.
Rare earth ores are known as “industrial gold”.
In metallurgy, chemical industry, glass, display, agriculture and other aspects, rare earth minerals have a large number of uses and are strategic minerals in major countries.
As for selenium ore, silicon ore, germanium ore, etc., it is an important raw material for the semiconductor industry.
Electronic chips, storage, graphics cards, memory, etc., are inseparable from these semiconductor minerals.
With so many minerals, it’s a big treasure!
If you have to measure it in money, at least tens of billions of dollars, or even higher!
Of course, this is top-secret intelligence.
For now.
Except for a very few core flight attendant secretaries, no one knows that there is endless wealth buried underground in Kalimantan.
Even the prospecting team, because each person is only responsible for a small piece, does not have the overall data.
Along the way, Su Cheng was very excited.
With so many minerals buried deep in the ground and no one knew about it, this undoubtedly gave him a huge opportunity…
Well, he thought about how to swallow this mineral that was at least hundreds of billions of dollars in one go!
Besides.
He also paid attention to the customs of Kalimantan.
The 743,000-square-kilometre island is divided into three countries: Malai, Indonesia, and Brunei.
Historically, this island has a deep relationship with the Chinese, and there are records of this island since the Jin Dynasty.
And from the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Countless Chinese have crossed the ocean in search of new life opportunities, and over time, Kalimantan has become a gathering place for Chinese.
Later, there were Chinese trading companies, and even countries established by the Chinese themselves, including the Dai Yan Kingdom established by Wu Yuansheng in Guangdong Province, and the Srivijaya Kingdom established by Chaozhou native Zhang Jiexu.
Among them, the most famous is the Lanfang Republic, known as the world’s first democratic republic.
The founder is Luo Fangbo, a native of Meizhou, Guangdong.
It was the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, that is, in 1770.
The predecessor of the Republic of Lanfang, the Lanfang Company, was somewhat similar to the East India Company at that time.
Due to his trading activities, Luo Fangbo came into contact with the advanced social system of Europe, set up a complete set of executive, legislative and judicial institutions for Lan Fangguo, and refused to claim the title of emperor and adopted the popular election system.
After that, the Republic of Lanfang elected a total of 12 heads of state.
Until 1886, Lanfangguo was defeated by the Dutch sea coachman because it did not have the support of the mother country, which became a history that made all Chinese sigh.
Su Cheng was also quite emotional.
It is a pity that a Chinese republic with a population of 4 million and an area of 300,000 square kilometers has disappeared like this.
……
A few hours later.
The port of Pontianak appears in view below, once the former land of the Lan Phong Republic and now part of the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan.
In the port, freighters laden with ore are constantly coming in and out.
Like tourism, minerals are a pillar industry here, but they don’t know that minerals here are worth at least hundreds of billions of dollars.
Many of these cargo ships, all printed with the word “SAMSUNG”, are cargo ships of Han Guo Sanxing.
And Su Cheng’s peacekeeping fleet also quietly anchored in the port.
“Directly descended to the Lin family.”
Su Cheng ordered.
Well, he has already inquired clearly, Lin Shuying is from the famous Lin family of Kalimantan, and he is the patriarch.
However, here she has another name, Lin Shiying.
As for the Lin family.
It is the 12th and last head of the Lanfang Republic, Lin Fang, who is a descendant.
With this identity, the Lin family became an important leader of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and the talk that the Lin family wanted to rebuild the Lanfang Kingdom has been endless.
……
Within the Lin family.
The Lin family is holding a family meeting, and all the important figures of the Lin family are listed.
Including Lin Tiannan, the head of the Lin family, several family elders, Lin Shiying of the concubine lineage, younger brother Lin Ping, and leaders of major Chinese communities.
Well, there is also a guest from Sanxing, Li Changxi, the prince of Sanxing.
That’s right……
The Lin clan was ready to give Lin Shiying to Li Changxi.
In return, Sanxing will spend $10 billion to buy mining rights for 50,000 square kilometers of land near Pontianak Port from Lam’s!
That’s an astronomical sum.
After getting this money, the strength of the Lin family will be greatly improved, and there is more hope to restore Lanfangguo!
“Uncle Lin, Shiying will be the daughter-in-law of my Sanxing Li family in the future, so I need her to learn more about the etiquette of the Han Kingdom.” Li Changxi said with a proud face.
Inside the hall.
The faces of the others changed slightly.
A Chinese, but to learn Han country etiquette, is simply insulting!
But no one squeaked, after all, everyone knew in their hearts that this marriage was no different from selling their daughters, and the purpose was to raise funds for the restoration of the Lin family.
“Shiying, the Sanxing Li clan, is the largest family in the Han Kingdom, and my father also found this family affair for you with great difficulty, it is really your blessing, you have to listen to Changxi’s words well.”
Lin Tiannan said very happily.
10 billion US dollars, this marriage is really worth it, he only hates not having a few more daughters, otherwise the restoration of Lanfang Kingdom is just around the corner!
Lin Shiying was sitting in the corner, her nails digging into her flesh, and her face looked very painful.
Let her marry an arrogant Han countryman.
She’d rather die!
But the Lin family, shouldering the hope of Lan Fangguo’s recovery, had to accept her father’s arrangement and become a bargaining chip in exchange for funds for the restoration of the country.
However, she was still worried: “Father, Sanxing is willing to spend 10 billion US dollars to buy mining rights, aren’t you afraid that there is something tricky in it, after all, this land is the heritage of Lanfang Country!” ”
The meaning in the words is obvious, she can’t trust the Han people.
This remark caused several elders to think, after all, the credibility of the Han Kingdom was obvious to all. Moreover, this land is also too important.
“Sister, for your marriage, my father broke his heart, but you are still pushing three and four, is it only you in your eyes, and there is no Lin family?”
Before Lin Tiannan could speak, Lin Ping on the side jumped up and said.
Well, he is the future heir of the Lin clan, and if the restoration of the Lanfang Kingdom is successful, he will be the head of state!
“Ping’er is right, Shiying, you have to always put the family first, as for this marriage, hmph, there is no room for change.”
Lin Tiannan said coldly.
“I…”
Lin Shiying didn’t know how to explain, sour tears welled up in her eyes, even her father and brother said this, she felt really uncomfortable and helpless.
Probably, in their eyes, she is a tool of the family, a bargaining chip.
And right then.
A voice came from outside, very cold.
“Is there really no room for change in this marriage?!”
It was Su Cheng who had just arrived.
