Happy Tycoon

Because the mining area is located inside the mountain, the outside wind can hardly blow in.

Although the temperature is lower than Hotan, but because there is no wind, it feels more comfortable here than Hotan.

At noon, Wang Jian returned from the mountain with a few local miners on horseback. Each horse had some dead animals hanging on it, including argali, antelope, snow chicken, hare and so on.

Except for wild rabbits, these animals are all protected by national laws, but here, local hunters are even legal to hold guns, let alone hunt some wild animals.

Another identity of these miners is farmers and hunters. As long as they don't kill those wild animals indiscriminately, it is not a crime. Besides, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and the people don't raise officials and don't investigate. They hunted and killed some protected animals, who knows.

Here, those wild animals have only one identity, and that is the prey!

Naturally, the corpses of these prey were not seen by Gege. Yang Jing and Liu Zhentao were accompanying her to watch how the miners mined Hetian jade.

This is also one of the main purposes of Liu Zhentao's trip to Hetian. He needs to know the reserves of this jade mine, and at the same time, he needs to see the quality of Hetian jade produced by this jade mine.

As a result, Liu Zhentao was very satisfied with both aspects.

As for Ge Ge, she has never seen how those beautiful Hetian jades are mined, so she also needs to increase her knowledge. At the very least, she needs to know how the Hetian jade jewelry she wears came from, right?

When the sun was shining, Wang Jian blew a horn to invite the three of them to come back for dinner. In the mining area, although the miners wear walkie-talkies with them, the residents here are still accustomed to using some very ancient communication methods to notify each other, such as blowing horns is one of the methods.

Yang Jing and the three who heard the sound of the horn were a little puzzled at first, how could there be the sound of the horn on the battlefield here? As a result, the miners were all happy. A tall and thick man smiled and said in not-so-fluent Mandarin: The mine manager is inviting you to go down for lunch. And the lunch should be a relatively rich one, with game.

So, when Yang Jing and the others came down from the mining site, they had a hearty meal of barbecue and stew.

It has to be said that the ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region really have nothing to say about the craftsmanship in barbecue. As for the stew, let’s forget it.

In front of the big foodie nation of the big foodie empire, the stew of any nation in the world is probably not as good as the stew of the big foodie nation.

Therefore, Yang Jing, the three of them, the bodyguards and the two secretaries were more targeting those barbecues. This is the wild game of the eight hundred Kunlun Mountains. Even native Americans like Clark and the others have never eaten this kind of meat. So these guys naturally yelled Wai Rui Goode one by one.

Xiao Jing, do you plan to mine this jade mine on a large scale? While eating, Liu Zhentao asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Little uncle, it depends on the situation. Yang Jing thought for a while and said, You have also seen the quality of the Hetian jade produced in this jade mine just now. Although it is made of mountain materials, the quality of the jade is very good. The miners also said Yes, sometimes they can mine mountain materials with excellent jade quality, and this kind of mountain materials with excellent jade quality can even reach 1A or even 2A collection level, which is incredible.”

Liu Zhentao also nodded. The reason why Hetian jade is precious is not because of the small reserves of Hetian jade. On the contrary, in the entire Kunlun Mountains, the reserves of Hetian jade are very rich, and the reserves of several million tons are the lowest standard.

It's just because the mining of Hetian jade is too difficult, so people can only guard the treasure mountain and look at the mountain and sigh. This has caused the value of Hetian jade to continue to rise over the years-rare things are more expensive.

And the jade quality of this jade mine is really rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that if the mountain materials mined here are washed in the Yulong KS River for thousands of years, the seed jade that comes out is definitely the best. The best jade!

Even if it is a mountain material that has not been washed by running water, the quality of the jade inside is not comparable to that of Hetian jade on the market.

If large-scale mining is really carried out, so many high-quality Hetian jades will suddenly flow into the market, which will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the price of Hetian jade. This is something jewelry merchants like Liu Zhentao absolutely do not want to see.

Similarly, if this high-quality jade mine is not mined on a large scale, it will be a waste of money.

Seeing Liu Zhentao's tangled face, Yang Jing knew that he obviously understood the key point, so Yang Jing explained with a smile: Little uncle, when we go back, I will meet with the Hetian government to discuss Continue to renew the contract for this jade mine. Although this jade mine is of high quality, our previous mining scale was very small, and all the jade mined was used in our own jade carving factory, and the jade that flowed to the market was almost invisible. That’s why the outside world doesn’t know much about the situation of our jade mine.”

When Yang Jing said this, Liu Zhentao immediately understood what he meant. Xiao Jing, you mean to continue to renew the contract with the government to increase the mining time of this jade mine while the outside world doesn't know the situation of this jade mine?

That's right. If we can really sign a new contract with the government, then we can increase the amount of mining appropriately. At that time, your love life will be the main sales channel. Of course, if Feiyang International If the luxury brands below need to use high-quality Hetian jade, I will also provide them. But you don’t have to worry, those luxury brands are mainly sold to Southeast Asia and foreigners or foreign Chinese, which will have a negative impact on the domestic market. No impact.

Hearing this, Liu Zhentao was completely relieved immediately, with a satisfied smile on his face.

In fact, for Yang Jing, this jade mine was only formed by an idea that came to him suddenly. Back then, he got two jade mines from Burma, and then suddenly realized that he had a jade mine, but there was no Hetian jade mine, which is the most famous jade in China, which is unreasonable. Therefore, Yang Jing, incarnated as Cole Smith, made a trip to the Xinjiang region, and finally got the right to contract the jade mine for 70 years.

Although this jade mine is of high value, it is nothing to Yang Jing. If it wasn't for Liu Zhentao this time, he wouldn't have come all the way here, how comfortable it is to stay at home in this weather.

But since we are here, let's take care of the industry here, at least the contracting right of this mine needs to be extended. Isn't it just investing money? Things that can be solved with money are not called problems.

After eating wild game, Yang Jing and his party stayed in the mining area for about two hours before returning to Hotan by car.

The next day, Yang Jing asked the secretary to contact the relevant officials of the Hotan District Administrative Office, and scheduled a meeting with the Hotan District Administrative Office Commissioner the next morning, and then called Wang Jian and the others to discuss renovating the mine road and increasing the output of the mine. things.

In fact, whether it is to renovate the 64-kilometer mining road, increase the output of the mining area, or even increase the mining period of the contracted mining area, there is actually only one core content, and that is money.

Renovating the road in the mining area, because there is no need to move the foundation of the road on a large scale, so the money to renovate the road is not too much, and now it is all mechanized construction, the speed of renovation will definitely be very fast, so this project Things are the fastest to be implemented. As long as Yang Jing signs and approves the funds, this work can start at any time.

As for the issue of increasing the output of the mining area, it is better to say that the renovation of the road still needs to involve a lot of external affairs, but this kind of matter of increasing the output of the own mining area, as long as the equipment arrives, the remaining work is to recruit more miners. , very simple.

As for negotiating with the local government to increase the contract period of the jade mine, this is somewhat troublesome. If Yang Jing had brought a group of secretaries to negotiate directly, he would probably have been slaughtered to some extent.

Now the Hotan jade mine is a very tight commodity. Ordinary people don't even get mining rights. No matter how rich you are, you probably won't be able to find a way out. It would be really difficult to do this kind of thing without the locals leading the way. This is not the time thirty years ago. At that time, Franklin, who was rich and especially green, could do almost everything, but it is different now.

There is no secret about Yang Jing's identity at the top, but for these low-level officials, they don't care who you are. It is no problem to extend the contract period of the jade mine, but you must come up with something that will tempt the local government.

It can be said with certainty that if Yang Jing went to negotiate in such a rash manner, as a foreigner, and also a very rich foreigner, he would definitely be severely slaughtered. It's okay if you don't want to be slaughtered, you don't need to mention the contract period, and we will still play lanterns as usual. But since you want to negotiate a new contract, it's different.

From the perspective of the government, it is understandable for people to do so. Mineral resources belong to the country, and they are such precious mineral resources as Hetian jade. Of course, the government departments must sell them at a high enough price. Less, are you worthy of those Hetian jade?

Fortunately, Yang Jing has a local snake who has lived in Hotan for more than 20 years. Although Wang Jian is nothing in the Dragon Fund, he is also a role in Hotan. Among other things, at least he has had a very good relationship with local government officials over the years. He didn't dare to say that when he came to the office of the commissioner of the administrative office, he opened the door and entered, but if he proposed to discuss some matters with the commissioner of the administrative office, the commissioner of the administrative office had to take time to meet Wang Jian.

Especially since he is still the mine manager of the jade mine. Although the ownership is not his, no one can say anything else when he participates in the negotiation.
