Without the internet, without Google satellite maps, it was so troublesome, relying on a bunch of maps to find the target. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And in Mumbai, you can't get the small-scale map of Canada you need, and Zach is lucky to be able to find this Commonwealth atlas, at least the maps of the Canadian provinces are still separate.

However, Canada's territory is a little larger than that of China, and this scale is still large enough, so it will be used.

However, the atlas was flipped through, and Zhang Nan put the atlas aside for the time being, and instead took a huge map of the world: the kind used for school teaching, or pasted on the wall of a conference room or other place as a decoration.

Spread it out on the floor, "Brother Guan, help me find a place." As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket, "64 degrees 29 minutes 57 to 59 seconds north latitude, 110 degrees 14 minutes 11 to 11.9 seconds west longitude." It was supposed to be an island surrounded by countless glacial lakes. ”

When the other four heard Zhang Nan's words, they immediately knew that it was definitely not a good place!

Because the location of the Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, the location of Zhang Nan's explosion is not far from the Arctic Circle, no wonder he said that he will have to go next year this summer.

Without asking Zhang Nan where he knew this coordinate, Guan Xingquan quickly drew a small cross with a pencil on the map, and everyone's eyes were all on the map: that piece was all islands and mixed lakes, even if it was marked, it was impossible to determine which island--- scale was still too large, and the islands and waters were drawn in a somewhat general way.

After that, Zhang Nan said 4 more place names, but Guan Xingquan found the general location of a place name after that: no way, there is too little information, and the map is not powerful.

"Forget it, let's do it first. ”

It's helpless, the conditions are limited.

Where did Zhang Nan get the coordinates?

It's written in a notebook.

The latitude is easy to remember, 64 and a half degrees is less than two or three, the longitude is 110, and then it is going to die, and then it is 120 to die or live.

It's not a memory on the Internet.,I'm not a memory genius and have the ability to remember.,It's the same as that lottery number thanks to multiple memories.。

My brother-in-law had an old classmate from the same village and clan who was sent to high school at the beginning, called Xiang Zhangsheng, who had good ingredients and good luck during the special period, and was even more fortunate after graduating from high school, and was sent to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers to study geology.

The man is working as a technical engineer at a state-owned diamond mine in Dong Son Province, but it is expected that life will be difficult slowly: remember that the diamond mine closed down in the late 80s because of poor efficiency!

That Xiang Zhangsheng had to find a way to change jobs, so he was transferred to a nearby crystal mine, and when a new diamond mine was discovered around 98, he was transferred back to the diamond mine as an engineer by his superiors.

Later, when he was in his fifties and about to retire, he was sent by the state to Africa, which was regarded as a retention to help his little brother build a modern diamond mine. As soon as he officially retired at the age of 60, this body also had to work in the field all year round because of the old before, and he ended up with a small problem.

The retirement salary was very high, and with a little savings, the man was killed and no longer retained, and returned to his hometown to return to his roots, and the house he bought was opposite his brother-in-law's new house.

That brother-in-law has been retired for several years (the personnel and professional drivers who want to work in the field belong to the fourth-level work, and the male retires at the age of 55, and the old regulations in China. I have nothing to do with research, pouring yellow wax stone.

Coupled with Zhang Nan, the brother-in-law who had a better life at that time, and Xiang Zhangsheng, who had few friends in his hometown, the three of them drove a car to the sand and river beach to search for treasures as soon as they were free.

Zhang Nan didn't learn anything about diamond identification, because he had no practical experience, but he read a lot of kimberlite rock specimens and books about diamond mining, because Xiang Zhangsheng had a lot.

Of course, I also heard a lot of things about the diamond mine, and I thought I was listening to stories at the beginning, many of which were experienced by that big brother Xiang himself.

He often said that Canada was lucky to die, and in a dozen years it became the world's largest diamond producer, along with Australia.

After a few years, a map of the distribution of diamond mines in the world hanging in Xiang Zhangsheng's house can almost be memorized, and he can say one, two, three with his eyes closed.

And the location I just said was even more impressive, who asked that Xiang Zhangsheng to make up a slip: "110, someone is dying, send 120 quickly...... It's a pity that before 120, the man hung up. ”

I listened to it a few more times and memorized it, and by the way, I also remembered the latitude.

Guan Xingquan, who had finished marking here, straightened up and said: "This is the only way, the next few places can only be analyzed after going to Canada to get detailed geographical data and information, and then the specific location can only be determined by sending professional personnel to form an expedition team to conduct preliminary ground investigation." ”

There are no formalities for the preliminary inspection, and no one can see the place where the bird doesn't poop, who will care about you!

"Brother Guan, professional. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Huaxia's gold exploration is the responsibility of the troops, you Brother Guan and I have acquaintances, and I know a little bit of fur.

But Anan, you have to find reliable professionals, we are all laymen. And even if the second site has an approximate location, the next step is the expedition team, and it will not be possible to do it in a few months. ”

Guan Xingquan's meaning is very simple: Zhang Nan absolutely refuses to use himself as a geological team member who sleeps in the open air, and wants to find someone, unless Zhang Nan goes crazy and goes on his own!

Zhang Nan is not crazy!

"Brother Guan, can you determine the first location?"

"As long as the island you mentioned is half a square kilometer in size, you can't run, it's easy to find. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he looked at Nicole.

Nicole looked at it and said, "Can you do it?"

It's "the tone of you asking me if I can handle it."

"Hmm. ”

"As long as it's not private land, $5 million is enough to buy that land and the right to explore for four years, and then you can get the right to mine for the next 20 years. If it is privately owned, then it will have to find other ways, which is much more troublesome than dealing with the Canadian government. ”

Speaking of this, Nicole thought about it again and said: "I guess, 5 million should be the absolute upper limit, which belongs to the Northwest Province of Canada, and the place is remote to death, and the Canadian government and the Northwest Province have been encouraging mineral development in that area, I read about it when I was studying."

However, the specific situation is not clear for the time being, and I will go back and ask a professional lawyer, and there are lawyers in New York who specialize in dealing with Canadians. ”

Well, American lawyers are so powerful that they don't just need lawsuits.

Speaking of this, Jenny on the side asked, "Allen, how big is that mine?"

"Three percent of the world's gem-quality diamond production, at least. ”

Well, that's at least $1.2 billion a year of rough diamonds, and at least half of the net profits, not counting the high-quality part of the 40 percent of the rough diamonds that Zhang Nan will master at that time.

Sixty percent of the output given to the Indians is a stable shipping channel, directly leaving aside Del Bis, this part will be shipped at the normal price of the market, and the Indians have not worked in vain for so many years, and already have their own shipping channels.

The remaining 40 percent can be maneuvered, and the big diamonds can be directly given to those jewelers at a high price, or they can get a diamond brand or something by themselves, anyway, designers and processors can dig at will if they have the money.

Small diamonds can be traded on more and more diamond exchanges, and those jewelers will also come to the door to ask for it, anyway, there is nothing to worry about when you have a mine in your hand!

Nicole thought for a while, "That is, at least 600 million net profits a year, even if you invest 10 billion, you can pay back your capital in more than a year after industrial mining, and it may not be necessary to use so much investment, it is worth it for me to rush back to New York." ”

"What, you're leaving?"

Nicole said with a smile: "It's almost July, the summer in Canada's Northwest Province is very short, I have to finish the legal matters at least before August, how can I have time to go to the state you said to be the emperor of the soil."

And it's not just me, Jenny is also leaving, I can't play this alone, I want Jenny to be a helper. ”

Jenny on the side completely agreed with Nicole's words, Zhang Nan estimated that these two were in a hurry to leave this time, and the time constraint was only one of the reasons, and it was estimated that the most important reason was to find an excuse to leave India, which was not full of food.

Okay, if you run away, you will run: if you don't go to that temple to investigate on the spot first, and you have already promised others to be guests, such an opportunity must not be missed, Zhang Nan himself would want to run.

It's so uncomfortable!

On this trip to India, Zhang Nan immediately moved things away without thinking about it: there were so many people there, and there was no possibility of "seasonal closure of temples for renovation", and the way it was used in Berchtesgaden would not work at all, so this time I came to find a way.

If you don't see it on the ground, it's all empty talk, because you're not Superman.

Nicole was not done with this, and continued: "Alan, you can't be idle, you have to find a reliable field geology team within a month, at the latest a month and a half, at least a few knowledgeable people to take the lead, and the others can make do."

I think for the time being you can only use helicopters and seaplanes as means of transportation, and in the summer the glacial lakes will melt and you can't count on other means of transportation, so you have to show the Indians the rock samples you have before the winter sets in October.

If I go to find it, it is not easy to get it, the headhunting company we contacted is not compatible with geology and mining at all, and it is generally management and service personnel, and the miners are too far away.

If you want to cooperate with a new company, there is no guarantee of security and confidentiality. ”

Nicole is out of the question: neither she nor Jenny are Superman.

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are also thinking about this problem: the first batch of personnel participating in the investigation must be reliable, and the detection of the first exact location is only the easiest job for those people, as long as the formalities are completed first, outsiders can only stare dryly even if they know. The fixed-point work in the back places is the key, and we must do a good job of confidentiality, and we must be strict!

Guan Xingquan was thinking about going to the prospecting troops in Huaxia to find someone, but Xiang Weirong thought of one.

"I have a ...... in the same village"

Xiang Weirong is talking about the Xiang Zhangsheng that Zhang Nan "knows", Xiang Weirong met an old classmate who went home to visit relatives in his hometown during the Chinese New Year last year, and he knew that the person's work was a little difficult now.

“…… I don't think he should think about changing jobs, and he can just work for you. ”

Hearing his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan said, "Can you come?"

"The mine is about to close down, and more than 80 yuan of wages will be in arrears every month, you arrange for him to live after going abroad, and then give him 20,000 yuan settling-in allowance first, and get the salary of an American engineer when he comes out, and that kid promises to sell his life to you!"

That's right, it doesn't take much, $3,000 a month is worth his salary for 10 years!

Guan Xingquan on the side also spoke: "Then I will also go back to the country, I knew a few people from the Northwest Geological Army before, and there will be people who will go back to their hometowns to live a big disarmament, I will dig and dig to see, and I will have to smash two of them for you with money." ”

As soon as this discussion was made, everyone had to act immediately.

Nicole and Jenny are going back to the United States, Zhang Nan is not worried that they will go back by themselves, and Zach and Paul are leaving together, so they have to book a ticket quickly.

And Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong will fly directly to Shanghai, China, which is the fastest, and this also has to book a ticket and go to a visa.

That's right, the two of them will be "African Chinese", their passports are real, but they didn't bring Chinese passports to India, of course, they have to go to the Chinese Consulate General in Mumbai to knock on a stamp.

It's just a formality, and the two of them will go to the Chinese Consulate General later, borrow the phone to make a call to the capital, and the seal is fine.

I have to call New York immediately to see if I have time to transfer a few bodyguards: when everyone on both sides is gone, Zhang Nan will leave 4 bodyguards and a cook by his side.

Now that his worth has been exposed, he has to go to the "countryside" of India, and this man seems to be a little less.

"It's not much, just transfer Lin Ming, Wenbo, Qiu Bo and Chen Hao, and let Lin Ming follow you, it's more effective than Alyosha here." ”

After listening to his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan said strangely: "Alyosha is not very good. ”

Alyosha is very good, standing behind Zhang Nan, his proper aura is full of energy, and idlers are avoiding!

Guan Xingquan on the side said: "I can only listen and speak Hindi, and Lin Ming can still write." ”

Well, in addition to being a freak in his hands, that guy is also a foreign language talent!

New York is super far from Mumbai, even if Lin Ming and they get on the plane within two hours, it is a question of whether they can reach Mumbai Airport before 12 o'clock tomorrow noon--- they only have 18 hours at most.

As luck would have it, there was a flight to Paris from the New York airport in 1 hour and 40 minutes, as well as a ticket. Two hours after the flight arrived in Paris, there was an Air France flight flying non-stop to Mumbai, also with tickets.

Lin Ming set off from Long Island Manor in a few minutes, and it took more than half an hour to arrive at the airport, and there were still 15 minutes before boarding.

Thanks to the fact that there is a kind of passenger plane called Concorde in this era, Lin Ming and the four of them will not only enjoy twice the speed of sound over the Atlantic, but also snatch back several hours!

I went to say hello to Singh, and tomorrow morning the police team had to make two trips to the airport, because the four Nicoles would leave the hotel at 7:30 a.m., and Zack's two brothers-in-law and their weapons would be left in India.

You can't carry guns on ordinary international flights, so it's just left to Lin Ming and them.

As soon as Nicole returned to New York, Liu Wendong and Davis naturally went back to pick up the plane.
