[Current Intelligence Points: 32]

In the morning, Qi Yun sat in the courtyard with a cup of coffee, receiving the first intelligence information after the system upgrade.

[Intelligence 1 (Purple): The world’s top energy expert Seth is being hunted by someone who wants to seize his latest scientific achievement—nuclear seawater desalination technology;

This technology has undergone multiple experiments and can desalinate 5 million tons of seawater daily, with a cost of only 0.1 USD per cubic meter (the current most advanced photovoltaic + wind power seawater desalination technology costs around 0.5 USD);

Seth has fled under the escort of bodyguards to hide in Alaska, the specific location is ****]

"Hiss~ Nuclear seawater desalination technology..."

Although Qi Yun didn’t know much about it, anything associated with nuclear power sounded impressive.

Furthermore, based on the intelligence content, this new technology should be leading by leaps and bounds, reducing costs by five times. If those Middle Eastern countries in the desert knew about it, wouldn’t they go crazy trying to seize it?

"If this technology can be brought back to the country, the credit should be no less than the last batch of lithography machines, right?"

"Next time we meet, wouldn’t Xiao Hanguang worship me?" Qi Yun rubbed his chin, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

[Intelligence 2 (Red): The Anchorage mayor’s term is coming to an end, and a new round of elections is about to take place. Currently, city councilman Benjamin’s support rate is far ahead;

Benjamin’s son had sexually assaulted a female classmate in June this year. The latter reported the incident to the police early on, but Benjamin used his connections to cover it up. Now the classmate’s family has left Anchorage and moved to Washington State, detailed address ****]

Just what I wanted.

This guy named Benjamin is the backer of the Aryan Brotherhood. Yesterday, Qi Yun was wondering how to take him down, and today this opportunity came.

If this continues, will Anchorage soon become my territory?

[Intelligence 3 (Green): The Lark Mine, 120 kilometers east of Fairbanks, is for sale, covering an area of about eight hundred acres. 75% of the area has been mined, while the remaining region contains a large reserve of high-quality emeralds underground, worth over 5 billion USD]

Qi Yun’s fingers slightly paused holding the coffee cup.

He knew about emeralds, and Blue Sky Jewelry Company has this kind of business. These gems are extremely valuable, revered as the king of emeralds, and are among the most sought-after colored gemstones in the market.

High-quality emeralds can fetch tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands per carat.

This region of Alaska seems to be one of the few major producers of emeralds worldwide.

"120 kilometers, not too far, and still within the jurisdiction of Fairbanks. There’s no reason not to pocket this windfall..."

These three pieces of intelligence are all very crucial. If handled well, they can bring huge rewards.

"Zhong Rui!" Qi Yun called out as he turned back.

"Boss." Zhong Rui jogged out from the house.

"Call the people from the exploration company and tell them to hurry over; we have limited time."

...

Apart from fisheries, Alaska’s main industries are these various mines, so the supporting industries are quite well-established. Companies selling mechanical parts and doing exploration are present in almost every city.

Soon, two snow pickups labeled ’Polar Star Geological Exploration Company’ drove into the mining area.

Several people got off the truck, led by a bespectacled middle-aged man, followed by a few assistants, all wearing thick winter clothing.

Qi Yun directly led them to the foot of the mountain in the southwest direction of the mining area and pointed to a large area in front, saying, "This is the place. My instinct tells me it will bring me wealth; I need you to survey this geological situation as quickly as possible."

"I’ll give you a week."

The middle-aged leader pushed up his glasses and showed a troubled expression: "Boss, this area is not small, and now the temperature is dropping, making drilling samples more difficult. The exploration work will take at least two weeks..."

"That’s conventional." Qi Yun interrupted him, his tone firm, "Use your best equipment, the most professional people."

"I’ll pay you double fees; I just want speed; can you do it?"

Upon hearing Qi Yun’s generosity, the middle-aged man hesitated no longer, immediately grinning, "Boss, thank you for your generosity. Rest assured, we will mobilize all our manpower to work tirelessly and hand you the report within a week!"

Who says money doesn’t work in the United States? Isn’t it the same here?

"Good, let’s begin."

With Zhong Rui handling the follow-up, Qi Yun didn’t stay long at the mining area, observed briefly, and left by car as he had other matters to attend to.

Returning to the town, he first went to the residential area to brief Brother Quan, then took Xiao Wu to the police station entrance.

Miller, who received the text message, ran out eagerly. Qi Yun lowered the back window and waved at him, and he immediately approached.

"Sir, the Wild Wolf Gang agreed to collaborate, but their boss wants to meet you in person. I was about to report this to you."

Qi Yun slightly nodded: "Tell him there’s no problem with meeting. I’ll be going to Anchorage tomorrow, and I’ll notify him of the meeting location then."

He still remained cautious, even when discussing cooperation, he wouldn’t go to the opponent’s territory.

Although the Wild Wolf Gang and Aryan Brotherhood are enemies, these gang members are the least trustworthy, who knows if they might secretly sell me out.
