"You already know that there is a gold mine below?" The Great Elder and Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the wooden kang face to face. At this time, the Great Elder had regained his calm expression and was no longer anxious. The question he asked was not the road construction matter that Muer mentioned just now.

"Yes, I already know." Although Lin Dong didn't know why the Great Elder was taking care of the gold mines, facing the old man in his seventies, he nodded and said, "It is precisely because he knew there was a gold mine, which was something we had planned. We originally wanted to mine a metal mine, so I found Elder Namuer and hoped to tell you about this matter. After all, if we mined it privately, it would be immoral."

The elder's face turned slightly red. He originally wanted to talk to Lin Dong as a condition, but the other person took the initiative to make it public, so he naturally decided to compensate him. It was really hard for him to say this.

However, for the future of the entire tribe, the Great Elder said: "I think Namuer should have told you about this gold mine, and we knew it in advance. Moreover, this gold mine is a medium ore vein, and there is not a lot of gold that can be mined. Someone has bid $5 million to contract our mine..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, trying to see Lin Dong's reaction, but Lin Dong's face did not change much, so he had to continue saying: "I heard that Mr. Lin was going to build a road for us..."

"Yes." Lin Dong has always been very strict in negotiations. He didn't want to argue and directly stated the conditions of Changying Group. "We are planning to build a desert highway from the border port to the Taha tribe. In this way, it will facilitate the people of the Ta tribe and the people in China to do business. After all, your lapis lazuli is also a good jade in China, and the market prospects are very good. I think if you can sell the lapis lazuli mine to China, the price will definitely be higher."

The elder did not agree, but asked, "What level of road is Mr. Lin going to build?"

Lin Dong didn't expect that the Great Elder would ask this "more professional" question. After all, he didn't understand it very well. However, although he raised it on a whim when he told Namu just now, he thought about it and found that this was indeed feasible. After all, neither this metal ore nor that gold ore could be solved in a short time. In the short term, a simple road in the desert is OK, but in the long term, a better road is very important.

"My plan is to build an asphalt road." Lin Dong said: "After all, it is a bit unrealistic to build a highway in the desert, but it is not a big problem to build an asphalt road. There are oil fields not far from the border between China and Afghanistan, where asphalt is easier to do. It is easy to find gravel, cement, sand and other things for road construction... I am an amateur, probably that's it."

"Really?" The elder didn't expect any highway. In his consideration, it would be good to have a compacted sand and gravel road, just like the national defense highway in most parts of China. Although there is no problem with traffic, the quality of sand and gravel roads is still not much different from asphalt roads. The distance is equivalent to the difference between rural roads and provincial roads!

Since Lin Dong promised to build the asphalt road, no matter how he calculated it, it would be more than five million US dollars!

Of course, if there are many people nearby and enough machinery, it may not be used, but this is Afghanistan after all! The majority of people are uninhabited in this place, and the freight is definitely higher than the raw materials!

Of course, Changying Group doesn’t need to consider this kind of materials to pull, and the raw materials to pull, and the machinery to pull back a truck of metal mines, and all the freights are earned back!

"Of course it's true." Lin Dong actually felt that this matter was feasible when he said it. When he talked to Jiang Hongwei, he knew that China was trying to turn the Taha tribe toward China. But many elders of the Taha tribe tended to not offend both sides. They could use intelligence to exchange Chinese supplies, or intelligence to exchange US dollars from the United States.

However, if we can really build a road from the Huaxia Port to this tribe, even if we don’t fight for it, the Chinese merchants will definitely follow this road to develop the Taha market!

Think about it, a tribe with tens of thousands of people and a tribe with relatively primitive development, what a business opportunity there is!

With the ability and urinary nature of those Chinese merchants, it is probably less than a year to use them. Most of the people in this tribe can use Chinese daily necessities. Within three years, the smarter people in the tribe may speak Chinese. In the future... don't think about it.

Besides, the road is much more convenient for people in the camp to go back and forth. At least it doesn’t take several days to arrive when we came. In the words of Tengjiao, we will return to China in half a day!

The more Lin Dong thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and his tone became affirmative: "As long as you can be sure that I can get the consent of your administrative authority to build the road, that is, they allow us to build the road, I can even guarantee that I will not mine the gold mine for now, and after the road is built, we can sign a contract!"

so good?

At this moment, the Great Elder simply thought that Lin Dong was sent by Allah to deliver the gospel to the Taha tribe!

Compared with the fake American believer who used business channels to threaten them to drive away the Huaxia Changying Group, Lin Dong is as cute as an angel!

"If you can build the road as soon as possible," the elder and Namur looked at each other, and then said firmly: "We will be responsible for the road construction permission! Of course, it would be even better if the Changying Group could send us a batch of daily necessities in advance..."

"What happened?" Namur was obviously familiar with things in the tribe and was very sensitive. The elder who usually didn't pay attention to these things even started to talk about materials, so there must be something wrong.

"The people from the United States are here. I hope we will drive the people from Changying Group out," Since the elder decided to cooperate with Lin Dong, there is naturally no need to cover up for the United States. Besides, what Lin Dong said is too generous, and he even said impatiently: "They said that if we don't drive Changying Group away, they will cause people to cut off our trade route to Kandahar, then..."

"There is no problem with the supplies!" Lin Dong heard that the Americans were really here to help. He was tightly pressing him. Wouldn't the Taha tribe turn to his side faster: "I'll call the country later. Our next batch of supplies will set off soon. I will ask them to increase the procurement and transportation of supplies. Within one month, I will ensure that one hundred tons of supplies are sent to the Taha tribe!" (To be continued.)
