After sitting down, Zhao Guoyang's calmness and grandeur gradually made Marilyn's eyes smile.

Although it is not the official official lunch, the servants still follow the rules when serving the food, and there are all kinds of drinks before meals and fruit salads.

Originally, Zhao Guoyang wanted to choose lemonade for drinks before meals, but Marilyn waved her hand to the maid and turned to Zhao Guoyang and said, "Mr. Zhao, we will talk about a big business later. If there is no red wine, it will be less atmosphere. What do you think?"

After hearing what Marilyn said, Zhao Guoyang naturally had no choice but to respond.

Susanna next to him nodded when she saw him, then signaled to the maid: "I'm also red wine."

The maid nodded respectfully to Susanna, then swept her eyes to Marilyn, as if asking the hostess which bottle of red wine to open.

"Isn't there a bottle of Marvichia in the wine cabinet? Just open that one!" Marilyn said as if nothing had happened.

As soon as she finished speaking, Susanna exclaimed: "Wow, Zhao, Mommy attaches great importance to you. There is only one bottle left in Malvichia at home. I thought it open on my seventeenth birthday, but she didn't agree."

Susanna's exaggerated look made Zhao Guoyang scratch his head.

Seeing her daughter's shocked look, Marilyn couldn't help but complain, "Okay, okay, why are you talking about this? It's just a waste of Mr. Zhao..."

"No, no, Susanna is real, cheerful, and not pretentious. I admire her very much." Zhao Guoyang waved his hands repeatedly.

After hearing this, Marilyn smiled gently: "Mr. Zhao and her little girl are heroes. She was on the phone yesterday, but she praised you to the sky."

"If I failed to cooperate with you this time, it would be a great failure of our family business. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry."

Speaking of serious matters, Zhao Guoyang's expression suddenly became serious and he spoke seriously: "Ms. Marilyn, if cooperation is just to help one party, it will definitely not last long. The reason why I proposed cooperation to Susanna was that we both could have a broad and long-term basis for cooperation!"

"Yeah, well said!"

Marilyn nodded in agreement and said, "Originally, I still have some doubts about the accuracy of the little girl's view of people. But after seeing you, Mr. Zhao, I have no such concerns."

After seeing the maid bringing the red wine and pouring three glasses of each, Marilyn stood up with a smile, raised her glass, and said to Zhao Guoyang: "Mr. Zhao, I wish our cooperation success in advance."

Zhao Guoyang did not dare to neglect, so he quickly stood up and met Marilyn and Susanna separately, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you for Ms. Marilyn's hospitality, I also hope that our cooperation will be smooth."

During the meal, Marilyn didn't talk much about business, but just talked to Zhao Guoyang about what she saw and heard in Samba and St. Paul's state in the past two days.

After hearing from Zhao Guoyang that before he had time to go to Guarua Beach in St. Paul State, Marilyn looked at her daughter with a angrily voice and said, "Susanna, as a friend, you are not very competent as a host."

"Let's do this? Mr. Zhao will leave in two days. You will accompany him to visit Guarua Beach tomorrow and take him to experience the beautiful sea view of our St. Paul state."

After Marilyn spoke, Susanna glanced at Zhao Guoyang's acquiescent expression on her face and immediately agreed with a smile.

In fact, she had the idea of ​​taking Zhao Guoyang to the beach before, but she had not put it into practice.

Now that my mother has an assist, Susanna is naturally overjoyed.

After the three of them had lunch, a maid came over and led the three to the teahouse next to them to have a conversation.

The teahouse is semi-closed. From the inside, you can see the situation outside the house, but from the outside, you cannot see the every move of the person inside.

After taking a sip of steaming coffee, Marilyn crossed her legs and began to talk about the main things.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard from Susanna that you are interested in investing in the niobium tantalum ore under our Baptista Consortium and are interested in jointly developing it. Is this the case?"

"That's right!" Zhao Guoyang responded affirmatively.

Marilyn then asked again: "But it is very difficult to mine niobium tantalum ore and requires a lot of funds. The most important thing is that this relatively unpopular precious metal is not easy to sell. It is very likely that after it is developed, it has not been found a market..."

After Marilyn said this, Zhao Guoyang nodded secretly, knowing that the lady must have done her homework before she talked to her.

In his opinion, Marilyn and her consortium purchased this niobium tantalum ore may have been just a long-term investment and did not intend to rush to mine.

After all, although investing in minerals may not make a lot of money, it is still stable to maintain its value.

Now that I suddenly heard that I wanted to invest money to mine this niobium tantalum ore, Marilyn was surprised, and naturally she was a little confused.

In this way, it is reasonable for her to search for information about niobium tantalum ore in private.

However, what Marilyn didn't know was that the sales issues she was worried about after the mineral development were not a problem for Zhao Guoyang at all.

Looking at the beautiful woman opposite staring at her inquiring eyes, Zhao Guoyang spoke calmly and explained: "Mrs. Marilyn, since I dare to boast about Haikou and invest millions of dollars to cooperate with your Baptista consortium, I naturally have some considerations."

"You don't have to worry about the sales of niobium tantalum ore. Mrs. Marilyn, it's all for me. If you don't believe this, we can make it special when signing the contract later!" Zhao Guoyang said with a swearing patted his chest.

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Marilyn and Susanna looked at each other and were both shocked.

Obviously, they didn't expect that Zhao Guoyang would take such a difficult, even key task at once.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang is sure to be quite sure of making such a promise.

In the middle of this century, after the founding of the Republic, for a long time, Western developed countries stored rare and rare earth metal mineral products such as lithium, beryllium, niobium, and tantalum as strategic materials, and imposed a blockade and embargo on the Republic.

Originally, at the beginning, the Republic could still purchase some of these rare metal ores from the former Soviet Union.

But later, after the relationship between the two countries deteriorated, the channels for purchasing rare metals in the Republic were completely cut off.

Until now, even though reform and development have been going on for several years, Western developed countries still have not opened up such a hole in the Republic.

Now, if Zhao Guoyang can obtain the mining rights of such rare metal mines overseas in his personal name, the state will definitely support him by 100%.

After the mine was mined, Zhao Guoyang didn't even need to go to the sales service. There would be relevant departments in the Republic to contact him.

After Zhao Guoyang and Mr. Li proposed this matter privately, Li Kejian also gave him a full promise, and it was absolutely impossible to be wrong.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guoyang praised such a whim in front of Marilyn.

At this time, after hearing Zhao Guoyang's statement, Marilyn smiled with relief: "Okay, since Mr. Zhao is so sure of the sales channel, then there is no obstacle to our cooperation."

"However, for me personally, I still have a small requirement. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can meet one or two."

After Marilyn said this, Zhao Guoyang did not look surprised.

He said calmly: "Ms. Marilyn, please say something. Let's talk openly today to make this matter as soon as possible."

"Yes." Marilyn agreed with Zhao Guoyang's statement. She glanced at her daughter and turned to Zhao Guoyang and said.

"Mr. Zhao, that's the case. If you do this in the name of a consortium, there are many restrictions. So I plan to transfer this niobium tantalum mine to my daughter's trading company to operate. I hope you can understand this."

After Marilyn finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang felt a sense of openness.

Needless to say, this must be Marilyn who did not gain absolute control in the Baptista consortium.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she felt that it would be more appropriate to pass the investment onto her daughter.

Although the possible transfer price is higher than the initial purchase price, the money you earn in the future will naturally become Susanna's.

Zhao Guoyang fully agreed with Marilyn's proposal.

He said very readily: "Ms. Marilyn is considerate and I have no objection. Moreover, Susanna and I are friends, so it will be smoother to cooperate."

"Yes, Zhao said so well." Susanna said happily.

"Mommy, your decision is so wise. I have long wanted to exercise my abilities and make a career. Now with Zhao's investment and his extraordinary business vision, my trading company can be said to be bright in the future!"

Seeing his daughter's heartfelt smile, Marilyn's face inadvertently showed a loving look.

In fact, although Zhao Guoyang guessed most of Marilyn's intentions, he ignored one thing, that is, Marilyn's attention to his daughter's growth far exceeded his pursuit of interests.

In Marilyn's view, although Susanna has begun to come into contact with some commercial things, it is far from the level of inheriting the family business.

She still needs a lot of training to become the successor of the family.

Whether it is to let Susanna start a trading company independently or to let her get in touch with non-ferrous metal mine business, Marilyn wants her daughter to speed up her growth in practice.

Now, after finally being by her daughter, Zhao Guoyang, a visionary and talented partner, appeared. Of course, Marilyn had to trap him to help Susanna grow.
