Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 738 - 737: Importance

Climbing up and down these small mountains consumes a lot of energy.

He just climbed down from Mount Jin, so it's quite normal to take a break.

Using the term Mount Jin to describe the platinum ingots in the cargo is precisely fitting.

This is a real Mount Jin, a mountain entirely piled up with platinum, with no exaggeration at all.

After the astronaut took a few breaths to rest, he turned around and closed the cargo hold.

Only after he tightly locked the cargo hold did he finally feel completely at ease.

Being responsible for organizing this platinum makes him very nervous, fearing something might go wrong with it.

Just after this astronaut completed his work, a middle-aged astronaut walked in from another room.

This middle-aged astronaut is their team leader, responsible for managing the tasks of the five of them on Mars.

When the team leader saw that the astronaut had closed the cargo hold, he asked, "Is the last organizing and checking work finished? How's everything? No mistakes, right?"

This is our first batch of platinum to be returned, and if there's a problem, it's hard to explain to Earth. We must be extra careful.

The team leader is not very assured about this batch of cargo, so he specifically came over to check on the situation.

It's not excessive to say he's being careful; it's a perfectly normal behavior.

Mining platinum is their most important task on Mars, arguably the biggest reason for their stay.

As the team leader of this five-person squad, he, of course, is concerned about his duties.

This is their first batch of platinum mined, and if it can't be smoothly transported back to Earth, he wouldn't be able to face others as a team leader.

"Team leader, rest assured, we've checked many times. Of course, there's nothing wrong this time either; just wait for the shipment back to Earth."

The astronaut patted his chest, assuring his team leader, mainly because there have been too many checks, it's really impossible for any accident to occur.

As long as the rocket itself encounters no issues, this platinum will definitely be returned to Earth smoothly.

"Nothing was found wrong in the checks, which is good. Mainly, the value of this cargo is too great, and keeping it at our base makes me uneasy."

Once it's shipped back, I'll be able to sleep well," the team leader felt slightly relieved after hearing his subordinate's response.

After completing the final inspection work, the rocket is ready for launch.

This time the rocket's destination is Earth, taking a large amount of platinum back home.

Jiang Cheng is sitting in his office, pen in hand, diligently signing the documents placed in front of him.

His other hand is holding a phone, talking to the person on the other end.

"Hello, is it Xiao Peng? I'm afraid I can't come to the Space Mission Center during this period, Zhang Manlin has pulled me to the company to sign documents."

"Yes, yes, I won't be able to come over for a while, you handle things over there. Contact me by phone if there's anything."

Jiang Cheng explained matters to Xiao Peng over the phone while continuing to sign the documents in front of him.

Multitasking is a basic skill for Jiang Cheng.

Therefore, he can ensure that while talking about matters, his speed in signing documents doesn't slow down at all.

Sitting opposite him at the desk is our CEO Zhang Manlin, watching over her boss Jiang Cheng, sign the necessary documents.

Watching Jiang Cheng multitasking, though unsatisfied with his current work attitude, she held back from commenting.

Since Jiang Cheng hasn't affected his efficiency, she refrains from saying anything.

As long as Jiang Cheng completes his work diligently, she doesn't care how he goes about it.

Zhang Manlin's current position of supervision is mainly because she's keenly watching Jiang Cheng, fearing he might slip away if not careful.

Jiang Cheng was overly carefree recently, wandering outside for an unknown period, seldom returning to the company to handle affairs.

Lately, Jiang Cheng was off to receive an award in Switzerland one moment, then off to acquire Gulfstream Company the next, even going to set up a giant Space Station, yet never returning to the company to care for its matters.

Document piles within the company grew high again, leaving Zhang Manlin no choice but to forcibly drag Jiang Cheng back and vigilantly stay in the office until he finished every task.

CEO Zhang Manlin of the Cosmic Umbrella Group is indeed burdened; not only managing all aspects of the enterprise but also occasionally overseeing her unreliable boss Jiang Cheng.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had concluded his advice to Xiao Peng and was ready to hang up the call.

He intended to focus on completing the documents in front of him, so he could be liberated sooner.

But just as Jiang Cheng was about to end the call, Xiao Peng's voice came through the phone.

"Oh, Jiang Cheng, I almost forgot to report something to you."

"News from Mars has arrived: the rocket has begun its journey to Earth, along with the first batch of platinum."

If no accidents occur during the rocket's trip, it's expected to reach Earth in four months."

So it's about the platinum mines; the news of the rocket departing from Mars would certainly be known by the Space Mission Center, with Xiao Peng, the head, undoubtedly aware.

Knowing Jiang Cheng is very concerned about the platinum mines, Xiao Peng reported it in the call.

"Understood, just handle things at the Space Mission Center appropriately. Be sure to pay extra attention to the construction work at the Space Station, as it's our current priority."

Regarding the platinum mine issue, Jiang Cheng merely acknowledged he knew, without giving any further instructions.

Nonetheless, he reiterated the importance of the Space Station's construction, hoping Xiao Peng would prioritize this task.

Jiang Cheng seems to completely disregard the value of this platinum as if unconcerned by the pile of platinum formed into a mountain.

In fact, Jiang Cheng is not very focused on the rocket loaded with platinum anymore.

Since mining has started on Mars, platinum can be continuously shipped back.

Even if this rocket couldn't reach Earth due to an accident, Jiang Cheng wouldn't feel much regret.

There will be countless rockets later, bringing back an endless amount of platinum.

He doesn't place much significance on one or two batches of platinum; what matters to him is its utility.

Platinum is a vital material for spaceship construction, rather than considering how much this precious metal is worth.

As long as there's no issue at Mars Base, Jiang Cheng might not even be able to use all the future platinum.
