    A few days later, inside Tiepao Port.  The bright sunshine spares no effort to pour on the earth, bringing unbearable heat.  Almost all pedestrians on the road wore wide-brimmed hats to avoid the heat. The polite young ladies each held a fan in their hands and fanned themselves while walking.  An Rui walked alone on the street, blending in with the pedestrians, his eyes scanning the street.  If you look carefully, you will find that the wounds on his body have healed to a great extent. Most of the bandages on his body have been removed, and the healed wounds have grown tough skin without leaving any obvious scars.  This time he came back alone to find a businesswoman to borrow the space treasure chest.  As for Shafi and Berego, they were still staying near Leiting Mountain, taking care of the Thunder Demon Tree and the keel of the Red Yalong.  His eyes, which were sweeping back and forth, suddenly locked on the facade of a tall shop, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.  "The Golden Fleece Branch Chamber of Commerce is right here." An Rui looked at the shop and muttered to himself.  There is a huge wooden door plaque above the shop Anrui is staring at. The plaque is painted with white paint, and golden rolled wool is painted on the white paint background.  This golden fleece pattern is the logo of the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce.  This is a large-scale chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce is composed of many businessmen and has influence in many sea areas.  The store in front of me is just a branch of the Golden Fleece Chamber of Commerce. The real association is far away, not here at all.  The person An Rui is looking for is the branch president of this branch, a young businesswoman named Cheryl.  He stood there, adjusted his clothes to make himself look more formal and solemn, and then walked towards the door.  In order to see Cheryl, he specially wore a very formal suit, all in black and white, his trousers were straight and well-tailored. If you didn't look at the sword hanging on his waist, you would definitely think of him as a businessman, not a businessman.  warrior.  At the door of the store, a sturdy doorman stopped An Rui and asked about his purpose.  An Rui¡¯s purpose of coming is very simple, just to see Cheryl, but this simple request is not so easy to be satisfied.  ¡°Our branch president is very busy, and he is not willing to meet everyone.¡± The guard said with a sullen face.  "I came to her to discuss the gold mining business. This is a big deal, so you'd better inform me. If this big deal is delayed, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it." An Rui bluffed at first.  The other party looked at it, then turned his palm, took out a silver coin from his sleeve, put it into the guard's hand, and gave the other party a little sweetness.  The guard took the silver coin, his expression changed several times, and finally said: "Just wait, I will go in and inform you." The guard left, and after a while, he returned to the door and led An Rui in.  Obviously, for a businessman, the gold mining business is a big deal. Even if a stranger comes to ask for a meeting, he cannot easily refuse.  After passing through the bright front hall and the corridor filled with oil paintings, An Rui arrived at Cheryl's office.  Before entering the house, the guard handed over Anrui's sword, claiming that it was a rule.  Anrui now wears a long sword all day long. Even when he sleeps, he is inseparable. He is a little uncomfortable with it being taken away suddenly, but there is nothing he can do. Who let this be someone else's territory.  He knocked on the door, stepped in, and looked at the environment inside the house.  The room is well-lit and well-arranged. The furniture is exquisite yet simple, and there are two tall bookshelves on the wall.  Opposite to the window, there is a desk. Sitting behind the desk is a human woman, who is Cheryl.  Cheryl is only in her early twenties. She has an average appearance. She is not a top beauty, but she is very temperamental. Her slightly serious expression gives people a feeling of being very capable.  She was wearing a smart black dress, and a pair of snow-white legs stretched out from the bottom of the dress, folded together, and crossed.  She held a cup of steaming coffee in her hand, and the aroma wafted out of it, making her appearance a little hazy.  "Please sit down." Cheryl glanced at An Rui, but it was just a quick glance. She quickly withdrew her gaze and focused on the coffee again.  An Rui thanked her, sat across from the desk, and looked directly at Cheryl.  "I heard that you came to me to discuss the gold mining business." Cheryl said, taking a sip of coffee and moistening her soft red lips.  "Yes, I know a gold mine that can produce about 10,000 ounces of gold every year. I feel you will be interested in this gold mine." An Rui nodded.  This is his biggest bargaining chip today. With this bargaining chip, he can borrow the space treasure chest.  "A gold coin weighs about one ounce, and ten thousand ounces means ten thousand gold coins. I am indeed somewhat interested in the gold mine you mentioned. Can youto continue talking.  "Sheryl said calmly. "To put it simply, I want to make a deal with you, using the gold mine I just mentioned as a bargaining chip, and borrowing the space treasure chest in your hand.  This deal is a very good deal for you.  You just lend me the space treasure chest, and you can get a gold mine in exchange.  ¡± ¡°It does sound like a good deal.  A gold mine with an annual output of 10,000 ounces can buy a new space treasure chest in just one year, and it is also a very large space treasure chest.  And all you want is to borrow the space treasure box in my hand.  If this transaction goes through, it will be the most successful transaction I have ever made.  However, I remember there is an old saying that there is no pie in the sky. I don¡¯t think there is such a good thing in the world.  "Sheryl did not feel happy because of An Rui's words. Instead, she looked at An Rui with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to see through something. "I just simplified the matter. In fact, this matter  It's a little more complicated than what I just said.  "An Rui further said. "I would like to hear the details.  " "The gold mine I mentioned is actually not in my hands or owned by me, but in your own hands.  As far as I know, you have a local gold mine. After several years of mining, the gold in it has been almost exhausted. Now the annual output is only about a few hundred ounces, and it has almost lost its value.  And I am a person who can turn stone into gold. I can help you find new gold veins in that mine, and increase the annual output of the mine from a few hundred ounces to tens of thousands of ounces.  "    "stop.  Cheryl suddenly interrupted An Rui, "You mean, you want to use my own mine to make a deal with me?"  " "Yes" An Rui admitted. "With all due respect, you are a bit too whimsical, using my own mine to trade with me, you can't think of it.  You'd better please come back.  The conversation just now allowed me to further understand the wisdom of the old saying that pie in the sky will never fall.  "Cheryl issued an eviction order. "No, no, no, don't drive me away now, let me finish my words.  "An Rui said quickly, "The gold mine is indeed yours, but as I just said, the output of this gold mine is too low, and there is no benefit at all after deducting the manpower and material resources spent every year.  It's not much different whether you have this gold mine or not.  But after my guidance, this gold mine will soon undergo earth-shaking changes, bringing you huge economic benefits.  " "The person responsible for looking after the gold mine is a dwarf. He works with the mine all day long and is very good at digging for mineral veins. However, he has been looking for a long time and has not been able to find new veins in the mine.  In his words, the mine has been hollowed out.  I don't think you can find new veins in it and turn waste into treasure.  "How will you know if you don't try?"  It won't do you any harm to give me a chance.  I know you are a businesswoman with a good reputation and I trust you.  In this transaction, I can first find out the veins for you, allowing you to directly benefit from it, and then we will proceed to the next step of the transaction. What do you think?  "An Rui fought for it. Cheryl stared at An Rui's eyes, interpreted the information in her eyes, and did not give an answer, but fell into silence. Time passed quietly in silence. No one knows Cheryl  What do you read in An Rui¡¯s eyes? Is it confidence? ¡°Okay.  I can give you one chance, remember, it's only one chance.  I will ask the mine manager ¡®Nan Shi¡¯ to take you into the mine to look for veins. If you can really find it, I can consider making a deal with you and lending you the space treasure chest.  But if you fail, I will think you are playing tricks on me, and the consequences will be serious.  "Sheryl finally spoke and agreed to An Rui's request. "No problem, for me, one chance is enough.  "An Rui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
