1 Chapter One Accident

Zhou Ziye woke up from his dream, touched a cigarette from the bedside table in a daze, and after smoking a cigarette, his brain woke up from the drowsiness of hangover and lethargy. The Australian assistant Michelle next to her is having a good dream, and the shrewdness and skill he showed in the past is now replaced by a beautiful and lovely face.

The wind coming in from the window was very strong, Zhou Ziye pulled up the sheets that fell to her lower abdomen for her, and comforted her on her tall chili milk, causing her to scream in her sleep and unconsciously pressing her body tightly. At the end of Zhou Ziye, I found a comfortable position and fell asleep again.

Zhou Ziye sighed, put his arms around her shoulders, and looked at the still gloomy night sky outside the window, but was not sleepy. He doesn't know how long he hasn't had a good night's sleep. It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, but the fixed biological clock allows him to wake up from his dream after four hours of sleep. Even though he has been traveling around the world over the years, the schedule of work and rest in each place is completely different, but this habit has always been with him, and perhaps he will never get rid of it in his life.

The sky gradually brightened, and the Pacific Ocean outside the window showed a refreshing blue under the morning sun. There was no cloud in the sky, and the distant sky could not be distinguished from the sea.

. Although the sun is shining brightly, the whistling wind indicates that today is another windy weather. The howling wind was accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and this rhythmic sound seemed to wash away his inner irritability.

The transfer application has been handed in for almost a month, and Elman also promised that this time the negotiation in Chile is over, the company will arrange a leisurely and expensive seat for itself in the branch of Shanhai. Although the income will be lower, there is no need to travel around the world.

From 2006 to 2015, ten years before and after, most of the countries in the world have been there by themselves, but the mother's illness has become more and more serious, and now it is inseparable from human care. Thinking of his mother's skinny body tortured by the disease, Zhou Ziye felt sad again.

The mother's diabetes is now in its advanced stage. In addition to sleepiness, various complications have also followed. At present, the mother's life can only be maintained by drugs. Although my sister quit her job, she can take care of her mother as much as possible. But in a family, there are only women and no man to support it, and it always seems so weak and depressed. If you change a stable position yourself, you can also take care of your family more.

Michelle finally woke up in Zhou Ziye's cranky thoughts. She rubbed her head and groaned complainingly. "My head hurts, Evan, is there an aspirin? I think I need one."

"Of course, I'm happy to serve you." Zhou Ziye got up and found the medicine bag from the suitcase. He broke out a pill of aspirin, held the water glass beside the bed and handed it to Michelle. "Thanks to your help last night, I haven't been overwhelmed by Paul and the others. Thanks for your hard work."

Michelle smiled cutely, "This is my job too, isn't it?"

Zhou Ziye rubbed her short hair and said with a smile: "Yes, this is our job."

As a Leybold company's trader, Zhou Ziye faced all kinds of business receptions the most. This time I came to Chile to negotiate, and it was natural that this aspect of entertainment was indispensable. Although Leybold Group cannot be regarded as the world's first-rate commodity trader, it is also one of the top 200 companies in the world's top 500 and has been warmly received by Antofagasta Mining Group. God knows that these people are like the northerners in the country, all of them are super drunk, and they have nearly two catties of liquor.

In the organizational structure of commodity traders, traders have considerable authority, and each trader will have a group to serve him, and the size of the group will be determined according to the trader's ability level and trading scope. Zhou Ziye's team has nine members, including assistants, bodyguards, lawyers, accountants, and information analysts.

These members were personally selected by Zhou Ziye, including Michelle, an assistant. Zhou Ziye did not deny that she was willing to accept this Australian girl who had just graduated from university because of her beauty. After all, she served herself directly, and having a beautiful assistant was also pleasing to the eye. However, Michelle's performance was very good. She never dragged her back at work, and it didn't take long for her to develop into her own fixed bed partner.

However, it was only a bed partner, and both of them knew this well. Not to mention that the two people are 13 years old, even if Michelle is willing to marry Zhou Ziye, he does not believe that a young girl can take care of his mother-in-law like a traditional Chinese wife.

Kate, the granddaughter of British boss Elman, showed love to herself, but the difference in status and lifestyle made him shrink from this relationship. In the face of Michelle, he never even considered this aspect. Affection is a luxury for him. He only needs a gentle and virtuous wife who can have children, support the elderly, and be his virtuous internal helper. It is a pity that I have been running around these years, but I have never met a suitable object, and some are just physical comfort when I am lonely and lonely.

Although it is the end of April, Chile in the southern hemisphere is about to usher in winter. Although Antofagasta is not cold, it has entered the monsoon period. Under this circumstance, even the most experienced flight technicians dare not fly a helicopter in the mountainous areas where the air currents are changeable, and can only take a car to the factory for inspection.

After taking the medicine, Michelle cheered up and went to the bathroom to wash. Zhou Ziye dialed the phone at home, and my mother had to rest every night after dinner. In Chile, I can only chat with her at this time in the morning.

The phone rang and was connected, and my mother's voice came over. "Dao Duo, I heard your sister say that you have arrived in Chile in the morning, but I didn't contact you for fear of affecting your rest. The weather over there should be getting cold now, and you should keep warm."

"Mom, I am in the northern part of Chile. It has a tropical desert climate and the temperature is warmer than at home. Don't you need to worry about me, do you take medicine?" My mother's diabetes was not treated in time at the beginning, and later it caused heart disease. And high blood pressure has always required uninterrupted medication, once every four hours. After only one blow, the mother lost the ability to move and began to need someone to take care of her.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziye's work is highly paid to cover the high medical expenses. He also hired a retired nurse to help take care of his mother. Having an old man accompanying his mother can also comfort her empty heart.

"I have eaten it. Xu Meng came to my house today and bought me a lot of supplements. Seeing her child, I thought it was not me that dragged you down, your child should be this old too.

. "

Zhou Ziye comforted her and said, "I am ready to transfer back to Shanhai. I promise you that the first thing I do when I go back is to find a suitable woman to marry and give you a fat grandson."

"Okay... OK... If you can wait, it won't be wasteful that I have dragged you down for so many years." The mother's voice choked.

Zhou Ziye comforted her and said, "Mom, I am your son. Without you, there would be no me. How can this be called a drag? Only you have a home."

Chatted with my mother for a while, and then hung up the phone when my sister Zhou Zichen was going to wait for her to sleep. Since the family changed drastically, she became seriously ill again, and her mother had wanted to commit suicide more than once. Especially when Xu Meng, his former girlfriend, couldn't bear to take care of his mother every day. During the time when he left him, his mother felt that it was a drag on him and even went on a hunger strike for a while. Zhou Ziye had to take time off to wait for her at home until she calmed down.

At that time, it was also the hardest time of Zhou Midnight's life. The mortgage on the house was exhausted, the work had just entered the right track, the salary was not high, and I was slashing food and clothing for the high medical bills. Because of medical expenses, the damned sister divorced her unwilling husband.

In the end, Elman, the company's British boss, learned of Zhou Midnight's dilemma and borrowed 200,000 privately to him to let him go through the difficult time. It's also because of this. Even if a big company is now poaching him with an annual salary of 5 million US dollars, he has never been tempted, and people always want to repay him.

In the current industry, although he is not the most top-notch trader, his identity as an Oriental allows him to have some geographical advantages when he comes into contact with companies in many Asian countries, although it is not like a few traders who can earn money in a year. Ten million U.S. dollars in remuneration, but two million U.S. dollars a year, can be regarded as the best in the industry. Zhou Ziye is very satisfied with the current working environment, work remuneration, and living conditions. If his mother's condition can be effectively alleviated, then Zhou Ziye would have nothing more to ask for, but he himself also understands that this can only be an extravagant hope.

In the restaurant, the two drivers who were arranged by Mr. Paul to pick him up were chatting happily with Zhou Ziye's subordinates. After seeing Zhou Ziye, he was not surprised that he could be the leader of a Westerner as an Easterner. In Chile, the Japanese are more popular than many Westerners, and it has changed their impression of Easterners. At this point, the little devil did a good job.

Although the two drivers were very polite to everyone, they were also full of pride when they mentioned their company. Antofagasta is not only the name of the city, but also the name of the company. The world's largest private mining company can be named after the city's name, and the local power can give people an intuitive impression.

. Even in Chile, this company has integrated into Chile's strongest local interest group. Even Chile's National Copper Company does not dare to underestimate this private company.

Zhou Ziye's contact person this time is Paul, the son of the chairman of Antofagasta Company. He is just a vanguard. He is doing a comprehensive review of Antofagasta Group's production capacity, refining capacity, and transportation capacity. The two parties will negotiate on the details of cooperation only after the assessment of the location. For such a large-scale cooperation, it must be a long-term and complicated process.

Everyone's breakfast was almost over, Zhou Ziye didn't waste time, and quickly solved the stomach problem, and got into a Toyota off-road vehicle with Michelle in front. Analysts and lawyers, as well as two staff members in Chile, got into the back car.

This is not the first time that Leybold and Antofagasta have cooperated, because both parties intend to expand the scope of cooperation and cooperation methods, which led to this inspection. We drove to the Antofagasta Company and had a brief conversation with Paul. He arranged for a manager named Svante to take Zhou Ziye to the Chuquicamata copper mine for a field trip.

Although Antofagasta is an important Pacific port city in several countries in central South America, it is not big because it is surrounded by Gobi deserts and difficult to use water. Several cars soon left the city and entered the deserted Gobi Desert.

The car went all the way to the east, and the terrain was getting higher and higher, and soon it entered the mountainous area. The scenery here is no different from the northwestern region of China. There is no green at all, and it is even more desolate than the country because it is less populated.

Swant was also one of the culprits who poured wine into Zhou Ziye last night, and he was quite familiar with Zhou Ziye. The two were chatting along the way, and it was not boring. And Michelle sitting in the front row was holding an Apple iPad, enjoying an American drama with relish. Everyone did not realize that the crisis came inadvertently.

The empty mountains not only made the passengers bored, but even the driver became paralyzed. At the beginning of the turning mountain road, he kept honking his horn, and then he didn't see a car for a long time, so this action was saved. Since the Chuquicamata Mine to Antofagasta built a direct railway to transport ore, there have been fewer cars on this road. There is no convoy to transport ore, and the road has not been damaged, although it is in the mountains. Time, but the speed is not slow, everyone wants to get to the mining area sooner.

Zhou Ziye was leaning on his side and was discussing with Swant about the sluggish sales of mineral products over the past few years, but seeing everyone exclaiming, the car ran into a large mining cart that had just come out of the corner and half of its body. Compartment parts. Zhou Ziye watched the front glass immediately shattered into a net. Before he could react, the body was smashed against the cliff on the left under the impact. A cool feeling came from behind her ears, and Zhou Ziye then lost consciousness.
