Early in the morning of the next day, just as the sky was slightly dawning, Lin Mo woke up from his rest.
Looking out at the rising sun, Lin Mo could not help but start thinking about the current situation.
The lack of construction materials was now fatal.
Even if the other two docks were torn down, it wouldn’t work at all.
Now one wanted to start building a new large dock.
The only way to do that was to go to the other islands and make acquisitions first.
But Lin Mo himself wasn’t too familiar with this part of the Western Wanxiang Islands.
Zhu Tong, the local snake, should be more familiar with these matters.
Inside the inspector’s residence, Zhu Tong was drinking tea in the middle of the courtyard.
“Lord Zhu, I’ve come to ask you about something.”
Lin Mo’s voice that appeared abruptly caused the tea in Zhu Tuan’s mouth to almost spurt out in one gulp.
“Cough cough, Lord Lin, why are you here.”
Zhu Tuan hurriedly picked up a piece of paper to wipe the water stains off the corner of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face.
“We don’t have the materials to build a new mega dock?”
Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Zhu Tuan nodded.
“Yes, I was just about to inform you of this matter.”
Zhu Tuan’s face turned serious as he said to Lin Mo.
“The materials we have in temporary storage right now are simply not enough to build a new mega dock.”
“Timber is fine, but steel and the like even if we hollowed out the entire island.”
“We definitely wouldn’t be able to find it either, so this plan simply doesn’t have the materials to go ahead right now.”
Lin Mo looked at the list of materials that Zhu Tong had picked up and nodded at a slight comparison.
However, he did not speak, but waited for Zhu Tuan to continue speaking.
There was absolutely no hint of giving up or anything like that in Zhu Tuan’s words just now.
Lin Mo believed that Zhu Tong must have already thought of a response.
“But there is a large iron mine on Ling Island next door to us.”
“Mr. Molin you can go to the next island to do some acquisition or something like that.”
“We still have some reserve funds on top of our island that we can use.”
Jutong spread out a map and nodded on top of one of the islands.
“Why isn’t this iron mine in the hands of Ling Island’s island master?”
“This kind of strategic resource should be considered important, right?”
Hearing Lin Mo’s question, Zhu Tong smiled and replied one by one.
“Iron ore is indeed a strategic resource, but this iron ore was discovered by several mining merchants together at the time”
“Even the Island Master of Ling Island couldn’t get his hands on all of it, so in the end, the Island Master took half of it.”
“The rest belonged entirely to those few mining merchants.”
Lin Mo nodded his head, then his thin lips opened lightly and said.
“Then can we acquire it if we can go ahead and buy it directly?”
A thief’s smile appeared on Zhu Tuan’s face, and an air of sadness was revealed all over his body.
“Back in the day, I returned with a mining merchant on the island named Qian.”
“The two of us had also ventured out together for a few days decades ago.”
“At that time, I was still very thin, just as you are now, Mr Molin.”
Zhu Tuan’s face showed the expression of a hero who also had a late day.
Lin Mo silently glanced at Zhu Tuan’s figure; all the flesh on his body was fat.
There was no trace of exercise at all.
For a moment, Lin Mo did not know what he should say.
Zhu Tuan detached himself from his past with intent, and saw Lin Mo’s silent appearance.
“Mr. Molin, I have written a letter that you will give directly to him when you see the return of the money.”
“He will know what he should do.”
“It’s just that I haven’t been in contact with Qian’s Return for years, and I don’t know exactly where he is.”
“You will need to go to the ore market yourself to find these, Mr. Molin.”
Zhu Tong took out a vellum letter from his bosom and handed it to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo took the paper letter and said softly.
“Okay, I know.”
