Chapter 96: Chapter 97 Rocky Mountains Spring "I’ll also ask around when I go back to see if there are suitable water resource sites on the West Coast." The East and West Coasts are too far apart. Even if there are mineral water resources in New York, transporting them to the West Coast would likely be more expensive than the mineral water itself. Looking for more water resources and building a factory nearby is the best solution. The next day, Hardy boarded a plane back to Los Angeles. Originally, he just wanted to come to New York to see the Godfather from the movie and further understand this world. Unexpectedly, not only did he meet the Godfather, but he also became good friends with Michael. The two of them even partnered to invest in a television factory and a mineral water factory, further strengthening their relationship. For Hardy, this trip to New York was rewarding. Hardy had just returned to Los Angeles when someone notified him that people from the Wash Mining company wanted to see him. He bought all the shares of Wash Mining and became the big boss of the mining company. The employees of the original company thought they had come to a turning point, but after a month passed, the big boss never showed up, and he didn’t even care about these employees. The exploration team couldn’t hold on in the mountains and had already withdrawn. The head of the exploration team, Columbus, came back and slammed Manager Adams desk in anger. "We’ve been in the mountains for so long, and nobody cares about us. Nobody told us our old boss was arrested, and now the company has changed hands." "I’m here to ask for our wages, and you say there’s not a penny," "Adams, do you believe that if the more than twenty employers outside hear this news, they’ll dig a hole in the yard and bury you alive." Adams was also helpless. He shrugged. "There really is no money in the company’s accounts, and there are even a pile of debts. The shareholders have sold all their shares, and now our boss is called Jon Hardy. I’ve never even seen him before. I only heard the name of the boss from people at the financial company." Columbus frowned, "So the new boss bought this company, he can ignore it, but we need our wages to live. haven’t you contacted him?" "I thought he would contact me, but after waiting these days, no one has paid attention to me. I asked the financial company for contact information, and when I called, they said the boss went to New York and wasn’t in Los Angeles at all." Columbus thought for a moment and made up his mind, "We can’t wait any longer. Let’s go to Los Angeles and find the boss. Even if he wants to lay us off, he has to settle our wages." And so, Manager Adams and Supervisor Columbus came from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Learning that Hardy hadn’t returned yet, the two could only stay and wait. ... Inside Hardy’s office. Two middle aged men stood in front of him, looking a little awkward. Before Adams and Columbus came, they thought about reasoning with the boss, even getting angry, but as soon as they entered the gates of HD Security Company, those thoughts were immediately thrown out. The reputation of HD Security was now widely known. They never expected the new boss to be the boss of HD Security. "What can I do for you?" Hardy asked them. Adams spoke first, "Boss, there’s no money in the company’s accounts, only debts, and we can’t operate normally anymore." After speaking, he glanced at Columbus. "And two months wages for the exploration team and headquarters staff have been withheld." Hardy looked at the mining supervisor Columbus, "Has the exploration team found any new mines on the land in New Mexico?" Columbus shook his head somewhat awkwardly. "No, that area is very barren in terms of mining. So far, we haven’t found any veins worth mining." "Does that mean that land is worthless?" Hardy frowned. Columbus hesitated for a moment, then shrugged helplessly, although he didn’t speak, the meaning was already clear. The 8000 acres of land that David Wash bought for $200,000 was indeed worthless, and now it couldn’t even be sold. Hardy thought for a moment, the exploration team couldn’t be disbanded now, after all, they were a listed company, it would be hard to explain if even one department was missing. "I’ll transfer some money to the mining company’s account to maintain normal operations. The overdue wages will be paid in full. As for your exploration team, take some time to rest for now, and we’ll notify you when there’s a new mission." Upon hearing that the boss was going to give them money, the two were very happy. After bowing and expressing their thanks, they prepared to leave. Just as the two were about to leave, Hardy suddenly remembered something and casually asked. "Columbus, is there a good water resource in that area of New Mexico?" "Water resources, there are plenty. The melting snow from the Rocky Mountains, as well as a large amount of mountain spring water, form several huge canyon rivers with very large flow rates. We drank mountain spring water while we were exploring in the mountains. I studied mining, and I know a bit about water. I dare say it’s one of the best water I’ve ever tasted, naturally with a hint of sweetness." Hardy’s eyes lit up, and suddenly a slogan for advertising popped into his mind. "Fresh and sweet Rocky Mountain spring runoff cascades past wild flowers In Bloom" Hardy spent a lot of money to hire two staff from the water quality inspection department in Los Angeles. Under the leadership of the Columbus prospecting team, they headed towards New Mexico. Although it was hot in July, the top of the Rocky Mountains was still covered with snow. They climbed the rocks to the depths of the mountains. The vegetation here was lush, and the air was pure. It was a paradise without any pollution. ...
