Twenty-first.
Morning.
A drilling platform is anchored in the sea area south of the province. Several large state-owned mining enterprises have brought along hundreds of executives to celebrate the mining of this area.
Indeed.
This place.
Is where the 'Float' drilled out a silver mine during its trial voyage. A silver mine worth billions is under the seabed; how could they not be tempted?
Jostling and vying, none willing to back down.
Finally.
They could only choose cooperative development.
Thus.
They pooled funds to buy a drilling platform, hoping to excavate the 'money' from the seabed. They have awaited this day for more than a year.
"Start drilling."
"Yes."
"Splash!"
At the command, the drill bit dropped into the water.
Shortly after.
It reached the seabed, stirring the seawater, and began to work.
"Haha, the minerals are out."
