Song Yun’s fallout with the DeLu Diamond Group spread quickly throughout business circles, and the remark he made as he was leaving was remembered by everyone.
If Song Yun had only relied on one company, operating in one industry, others wouldn’t have felt threatened.
But!
Song Yun’s companies were involved in various industries, and for those he hadn’t ventured into, the industry heavyweights still had to give him some face to avoid the day Song Yun might whimsically decide to invade their sector and smash their rice bowls!
As the incident fermented, a few days later, John called Song Yun to report that he had consolidated all the shares of Philly Mining.
Song Yun was now the sole major shareholder of the company!
And with the hundred million dollars Song Yun had recently injected, the entire staff of Philly Mining became hopeful about the company’s future.
"Boss, are you sure you want to excavate that land? I’m not questioning you, but... the company has just recovered, and I believe everyone needs a victory to lift their spirits."
In the video conference, John expressed his concern to Song Yun in a roundabout way, fearing that the land might drain Song Yun’s finances.
Because once the decision was made, the machinery would start running, spending millions of dollars each day!
That was no small sum!
"Excavate!"
Song Yun said calmly, "Are the machines in place yet?"
"We already have a branch there, the topsoil is easy to mine, so small mining equipment will be sufficient. By the time we get to the deeper layers, the large equipment should also have arrived."
John explained, "Last time, it took us five days to reach a depth of twenty meters. How deep do you plan to dig this time?"
"I don’t know, just keep digging until we find diamonds."
After hanging up the video call, John felt uneasy and decided to go to the excavation site personally to oversee the mining. If they still hadn’t found diamonds at forty meters, he would still have to persuade Song Yun to abandon the land.
...
Three days later, the mining work officially started, and a live broadcasting setup was installed at the site for Song Yun in Magic Capital to watch at any time.
"Honey, you’ve been staring at the computer all day~ Is watching them dig more interesting than looking at me?"

Ye Qingqing pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Do all guys naturally love big machinery? I remember when I was a kid, Dad loved taking me to the park to watch excavators work all afternoon."
"Hahahaha, what they’re digging up isn’t just dirt, it’s money,"
Song Yun pointed at the computer screen and explained: "I bought a piece of land in Africa and acquired a mining company. What’s being broadcasted now is the live feed from the site. If they dig up diamonds, then you can count on having your jewelry sorted."
"Diamonds?!!!"
Ye Qingqing exclaimed.
No woman could resist the allure of such sparkling gems!
Not even Ye Qingqing!
She squeezed next to Song Yun, making room for herself to sit and wait for the diamonds to be unearthed.
Since Philly Mining had dug there before, the top layer of soil wasn’t too difficult to excavate.
On the first day, they reached the depth they had previously dug to.
Now came the real test!
Apart from Song Yun, everyone’s heart, including Ye Qingqing’s, was hanging by a thread; John was especially anxious, constantly smoking in the temporary office set up on-site!
On the second day, as the arrival of the heavy machinery required a day for turnover, progress was limited to twelve meters. Digging any deeper would damage the smaller equipment’s lifespan.
Hence, that afternoon, everyone took a half-day holiday, waiting for the large machinery to arrive the next day to continue mining.
"Honey, can we really dig it up?"
Ye Qingqing bit her lip and asked after looking up some information, she knew that to date, there were only sixty-seven diamond mines being mined worldwide!
With so much land on Earth, diamonds were only produced in those specific regions, and not all the land had them underneath!
"Don’t worry, we will definitely dig them up!"
On the third day, after the arrival of the heavy machinery, the experienced workers set it up and began digging downward.
In half a day’s time, they had already reached a depth of forty-two meters!
"Boss, I’m afraid there’s really nothing in this land..."
John said with a mournful face during a video call, "This was originally a piece of land that bastard Wayne randomly picked out just to bankrupt me, if we really find something"
"We found it!"
Before John could finish, the workers outside started shouting excitedly, "We’ve found diamonds in the soil we’re testing!!!"
"What???"
John couldn’t care less about the call; he pushed open the door and ran towards the testing center.
The so-called testing center was also a place set up by Felix Mining Company itself, where a part of the soil was tested every five meters as they dug deeper, but unfortunately, no traces of diamonds were found before!
The sudden appearance today filled him with surging excitement!
He rushed to the testing center and saw the small grains of diamonds sorted out by the machine glistening in the light, he couldn’t help but shout excitedly, "We’ve found them! We’ve found them!"
He picked up the diamonds and returned to his office, pointed the camera at the diamonds and smiled, "Boss! These are the diamonds we found from mining!"
Song Yun and his wife looked at the gleaming diamonds in John’s hand and couldn’t help but laugh as well, "Keep digging! Tell the workers that their performance bonus will be doubled this month!"
"Yes, boss!"
John laughed heartily and said, "I can’t believe there are really diamonds! I can’t believe it! Hahaha, and judging by the quality, they’re very high grade!"
"Hmm, John, go and invite some experts from geological universities to estimate roughly how much the ore vein below might yield."
"No problem! Hahaha, I’m going to publicize this! Boss, you’re really a lucky star! Once the news that we’ve dug up a diamond mine is out, our stock price will hit the ceiling right away!"
John was so excited he started pacing around in the office.
How many years had it been!
Because of this place, he had faced countless inquiries from the board!
If it hadn’t been for the fact that there were no financial transactions on his and Wayne’s accounts, those directors would’ve probably conspired to put him in prison long ago! Explore stories at freewebnovel
Now things were good!
This land was not so barren after all!
"The rest is up to you, John. Work hard. There will be bread, and there will be milk,"
Song Yun said with a smile.
Felix Mining Company had struck diamonds in a non-national land!
This was the topic that had been wildly circulating in the mining and jewelry industries lately!
After testing by authoritative experts from geological universities, it was confirmed that there was a very deep vein underneath, producing not only diamonds but maybe even associated minerals like rare veins of rubies!
Suddenly, the stock price of Felix Mining Company soared in the stock market, hitting the daily limit in just half a day’s time!
