The formal contract was just signed a few days ago when Hardy signed it in New York, and Andy timed it perfectly.
Frank wasn't the only one to discover this. A few days later, a financial newspaper reported on this matter.
"Wash Mining purchased land in New Mexico, found no mineral veins, but discovered abundant, high quality water resources. The Mineral Water Company found this water to be excellent and reached a cooperation agreement with Wash Mining."
"According to the agreement, Wash Mining invested the land and water resources, holding 20% of the Mineral Water Company. According to the Mineral Water Company's representatives, they plan to build a large plant capable of producing 50,000 tons of mineral water annually. Calculating the sales, if the company performs well, with an annual sales volume of 50,000 tons, profits could reach a million dollars, meaning Wash Mining could receive $200,000 annually, increasing year by year."
