Rebirth: Super Banking System

Mineral deposit.

The easiest to mine are shallow deposits.

The vast majority of the world’s mining industry occurs on the Earth’s surface, digging layer by layer, simple and easy. The most preferred, of course, are open-pit mines.

No need to even peel the skin.

Just consume directly.

Thus,

The scope of human mining,

From a planetary perspective,

Is like a basketball wrapped in plastic wrap, averaging out to be less than the thickness of the wrap. Even though some are deeper, they are very small in scale.

High cost.

Difficult transportation.

Only high-value ores might be mined at depths of over a kilometer; currently, there are less than a hundred such mines globally.

The world’s deepest mine,

Is a gold mine located in South Africa.

Over 3,000 meters; South Africa has nine more mines over 3,000 meters, making a total of ten, while globally there are only twelve over that depth.

To sum up,

Apart from South Africa,

There are only two other 3,000-meter-plus mines worldwide.

You could say,

Deep mining is now quite scarce.

Previously,

Deep mining technology was almost mature, but transporting the mined ore back became a major hassle. One teleportation node per continent couldn’t handle it.

However,

After the upgrade,

A hundred teleportation nodes allowed Tang Qing to build as needed.

With a wave of the hand,

The underground river gold mine in Finland was allocated a dedicated teleportation, and the Algerian gold mine also got one, significantly speeding up transportation.

Previously there was no place to store,

Did not dare to mine too quickly.

Now mine and transport immediately.

Under such circumstances,

Tang Qing naturally felt the urge to expand the scale; a gold reserve of over 6,000 tons was far from enough to support the massive issuance of the Asia Dollar.

20,000 tons, that’s the next goal.

Moreover,

This is his holding amount,

Not the total extraction amount.

To make a commodity valuable, you need more people to own it, so those who own it do not want it to depreciate and will not act ruthlessly against it.

Gold is such a commodity.

Therefore,

To create such a pattern,

You need to hold over 20,000 tons and export at least around 10,000 tons, which is a technical task and not just about selling it, or else it would surely devalue.

However,

The difficulty is not too high.

After all, this is a long-term strategy, not a short-term market dump.

To sell,

We should follow Huaxia’s approach, without entering the consumer market. Now many countries are aware of the plentiful gold in Myanmar and want to buy it, but have never loosened their grip.

Next,

If the underground mining plan goes smoothly,

This door,

Can be opened.

…

Algeria.

Budy Family.

“The efficiency of the Chinese is truly high,” exclaimed Suleiman’s brother; being the second in command at Algeria’s Ministry of Energy and Mines, he didn’t have to work overtime on weekends.

Idleness,

Is the norm in their department.

“Of course, otherwise they wouldn’t have become the world’s third-largest economy in such a short time. I reckon they could surpass Japan in just three to five years,” said Suleiman.

He pondered a moment,

Then added,

“Perhaps even faster!”

“How is that possible.”

“This country cannot be viewed with conventional logic,” Suleiman sighed. For thousands of years, Huaxia has represented the most powerful group on this planet.

Only,

In recent modern times, it was overtaken by Western countries for a short period.

Strength,

Is the constant in Huaxia’s history.

Weakness,

Was merely a phase, and now with clear goals and execution, Huaxia is making the world’s attention refocus on the East.

In the future,

Suleiman believes,

The situation of one superpower, many strong powers,

Could very likely turn into two superpowers, many strong powers; Huaxia’s land area, population size, number of highly educated people, and capability… are all the makings of a superpower.

The most impressive to Suleiman are the Five-Year Plans, where everyone has a goal, a direction, and works together, unlike other countries which mostly rely on laissez-faire.

Every step,

Huaxia is leading the nation forward.

Solving the basic living needs,

Eradicating poverty,

Achieving overall well-being,

…

If achieved,

Huaxia will return to the top tier. Such signals have already emerged, such as Tang Qing, who would have believed that such a figure could be born in Huaxia.

“Why don’t we invest in Huaxia as well?” Suleiman’s brother suggested.

“Invest in what?”

“I don’t know.”

“….”

Then just name randomly; their family mainly manages minerals and energy, both of which are almost monopolized industries in Huaxia, with no opportunities.

…

At two in the afternoon.

Algiers.

A convoy enters the city.

Checkpoint.

Seeing the convoy, Algiers’ police officers greet them with smiles. Over the past month, the convoy has come nearly once a week, becoming familiar over time.

The driver on the lead car rolled down the window and handed over a few cigarettes.

“The usual.”

“Sure.”

After a cursory look, they let them into the city, knowing these Chinese carried weapons, had gun permits, and each time it was the same group of people.

With background,

And influence.

Afterward,

Ten identical black SUVs headed toward the outskirts.

On the passenger seat,

Chu Sheng rolled down the window, looking at this exotic capital filled with foreigners, many locals, many Europeans, and over two million French expatriates in Algeria alone.

Distributed across northern provinces of Algeria.

Likewise,

The southern coastal cities around the Mediterranean are the same.

Because of the proximity to Europe.

As the Deputy Manager of the Security Department in the North Africa Park, Chu Sheng’s main task now is escorting company property, traveling back and forth between Algiers and the mining field.

It’s quite far.

Driving takes a long time.

No other choice,

The park is inland, and all kinds of large equipment and vehicles must rely on land transportation, much like the initial construction of the Central Africa Park; this stage is their busiest.

No,

It would be more accurate to say even busier.

In Congo Gold,

Equipment would enter from Tanzania, pass through Rwanda, and directly reach the park, which is very close to Rwanda, leaving them responsible for only a few dozen kilometers of escorting.

They didn’t manage previous transportation.

Now,

The entire transportation line must be handled by them.

Busy,

But not tiring.

After all, they’re not walking on foot.

Over twenty minutes later,

On a vast open cargo yard in the outskirts of Algiers, a variety of containers are piled up, all awaiting transport to the park after clearing customs at the wharf.

This is the property of the Budy Family.

For cooperation,

It has been entirely cleared out, serving as a transfer cargo yard.

Apart from Wan Qing Mining, other contractors can also use it. Otherwise, organizing transport to the mining field immediately after docking would be too tight on time, hard to manage.

“How many trucks this time?”

Arriving at the cargo yard management office, Chu Sheng asked.

“One hundred and thirty-one trucks.”

“Can they leave by five?”

“Yes.”

“That’s good.”

After speaking,

Chu Sheng walked out of the management office to witness the bustle in the cargo yard. Of the one hundred thirty-one trucks, most are containers, a few are regular engineering vehicles.

As he knew,

There’s something special inside these containers,

—two helicopters.

Configured just like in the Central Africa Park, the company continued its generosity. The helicopter pads have been completed, but as for the dedicated airport, that’s not possible this year.
