Therefore, over the past decade or so, although on the surface the once poor village had become more and more prosperous, even developing the outlines of a city, the Yuan Family had been greatly hindered by it. Not only did they fail to benefit from it, but they were also operating at a loss.
Fortunately, Yuan Tianbo had an inspiration and came up with the idea of a Stone Tasting Conference. Leveraging the gambler's mentality of many who dreamt of overnight riches, he managed to earn a few fortunes, which kept the mine operating. Otherwise, the Yuan Family had considered shutting down the mine altogether.
Because of the revival of the Meteorite Gold Mine, Yuan Tianbo once again gained attention within his family, and his status became even higher than before. This time, he was acting on behalf of the Family Head and had come to Little Pond City to inspect the area.
