I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

"I don't know how much gold there is. According to word of mouth in the family, Moussa I secretly set a rule to take out a part of the gold from the royal income every year and deposit it in a secret location. The accumulated gold serves as the royal family. The spare wealth of the empire can only be used when the empire is in a crisis of subjugation. This is a huge wealth, because the royal family did not use this gold when the empire was destroyed."

"Do you know why you don't use it?"

"do not know."

Although Chen Ling believed what Morris said, he doubted whether there was such a lot of gold.

The Mali Empire was known for its gold production. The spare gold accumulated by the royal family over the years is certainly an incredible wealth.

After so many years, will the secret rules of Moussa I remain a secret? I am afraid that this batch of gold has been hollowed out long ago.

"Morris, do you know where this lot of gold is?"

"do not know."

"Who knows?

"Only the royal patriarch and our patriarch know."

Only two patriarchs knew that this arrangement seemed to make sense.

"Where are these two people?"

"Every year there are people who claim to be royal patriarchs, but they are all fake. The real patriarch doesn't know where; our patriarch is the one who wears your ring, so you are our patriarch."

It's ridiculous! Such rules actually exist in this world, and one item can become the leader of a clan.

And Morris actually set a trap to deal with Chen Ling, the "patriarch"!

"Morris, what do you think of me as the patriarch?"

"You are our patriarch, but you have no power, so it is very dangerous. Many people in our family will want to snatch your ring."

"I don't know where that batch of gold is. What's the point of being the patriarch?"

"The powerful patriarch can give orders to the entire family, with great power. Moreover, the address information of that batch of gold is hidden in this ring. The elders of the family know how to use the ring to find the place where the gold is."

"Morris, if you get this ring today, what are you going to do?"

"I will return to Mali immediately, unite with my brothers, make me the patriarch, and then find the batch of gold, distribute it to the family members, and live a good life."

Chen Ling sneered: "That batch of gold belongs to the royal family, not your guard family."

"The royal family has long since disappeared. Over the years, our guard family has killed countless people for the royal gold, and has been guarding the barren land. Now, it's time for us to get paid."

"Countless people died? Why is that?"

"I don’t know when, the news of this batch of royal treasures leaked out. In the early decades of the last century, countless bandits, warlords, and explorers have come. Every time they come, they will bring disasters to our family. So, this batch of gold was exchanged for blood by our family, not an auspicious item. If I were the patriarch, I would find it and spread it out. From then on, our family is in peace."

Chen Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect Morris to do it for his family.

"Morris, it is said that Moussa I had a gold escort to transport gold to North Africa. Do you know what happened?"

"I know. The Golden Guard was formed by the backbone of our family and is responsible for the safety of gold transportation in the Sahara Desert. However, the Sahara Desert is too dangerous. Our Golden Guard has killed and injured many people. The largest team of the year was in The ring of the patriarch that was missing in the desert was also missing at that time."

Chen Ling was basically certain that Morris's family was the one Trisha said. Tereza didn't seem to know about the ring, so she treated it as an ordinary accessory and gave it to Chen Ling along with other things.

Thinking of what happened in Trida, Chen Ling decided to let go of Morris in front of him. He finally asked a question:

"Morris, your plan to snatch my ring has failed, what do you do next?"

Morris's sluggish eyes moved, as if thinking.

"Mr. Chen, there has always been a saying in our family that being able to get the ring is an arrangement of fate. If I fail to snatch the ring, I will confess to you. Please go to Mali as the patriarch to save our family. If you If we don’t want to be a patriarch, we will pay a lot of land..."

"What's the use of my land?"

"There is a lot of gold under our land. This has been explored, but we don't have the funds to develop it, and the opinions within the family cannot be unified, so we guard our wealth but live a poor life."

...

...

Chen Ling walked down the narrow and long steps of Kasbah.

Morris must have said something from the heart, but it was all from his family, who knows if gold still exists. As for the gold mines under the ground, it is even more thankless.

Therefore, Chen Ling left a warning note in the cafe and left.

Compared with the illusory royal wealth, Chen Ling cared more about what was in front of him.

The new port project will be China's first large-scale infrastructure investment project in Africa, with significant economic, sociological and financial benefits. If this project can be done well, it is a tangible treasure, and it can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

CS company sent someone to the port company with Hu Xiaoxiao, and Chen Ling wanted to rush over to have a look.

It is of course a bad thing to have business secrets stolen, but as long as it works well, bad things will turn into good things, and the publication of the core plan of the bidding units in the newspaper this time is a foolish move by the opposition.

Because, no matter who is on stage or off stage in a country, it cannot harm the country's interests.

At least on the surface.

At the port company, Chen Ling went directly to the company's high-rise office floor. After exiting the elevator, turn left. The half-floor on the left is where Valerian and his secretary and assistants work; the half-floor on the right is where the vice presidents work.

The vice presidents have one office for one person, with a secretary room and a reception room.

When Chen Ling walked out of the elevator, he happened to see a tall man hurriedly turning out of the corridor on the right, and he almost ran into Chen Ling.

"Be careful!" Chen Ling reminded him.

The tall man's figure paused and flashed aside.

"I'm sorry, sir!" The tall man seemed to be in a hurry. After speaking, he entered the elevator and pressed the close button with his finger.

Chen Ling didn't care, and went straight into Secretary Valerian's office.

Gu Minglai was sitting in a chair, Hu Xiaoxiao was busy in front of the computer, and the minister's secretary was watching.

Seeing Chen Ling, Gu Minglai quickly stood up.

"Chen, please sit down! Our task is almost complete."

Hu Xiaoxiao behind the screen said: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here! This person's computer has two systems, one is Arabic and the other is French. I can't read it!"

"Oh, what can I do?"

"You? You can sit with Gu Minglai! Hey, girls always ask boys to repair computers. Why is it upside down here in Algeria, Mr. Chen, what do you say about this?"

Chen Ling could hear the pride in Hu Xiaoxiao's tone and knew that the situation was going well, so he leaned in and said: "Xiaoxiao has worked hard! I will invite you to dinner later, in Algiers, which restaurant is up to you!"

"Come less! I won't eat, give me money!"

"No problem, there should be a reward for what you give, I'll give you the money!"

Hu Xiaoxiao looked away from the computer screen, glanced at Chen Ling, and continued to work. He said: "The hourly rate of IT experts is not low, and they only charge US dollars, not dinars!"

"Yes, both U.S. dollars and gold will do..."

"Hey, it's finally done!" Hu Xiaoxiao interrupted Chen Ling, pulled out the USB flash drive and handed it to Chen Ling. "It's all here!"
