Chapter 127: Target Minfeng (Sixth Update)
Zhang Nan randomly sampled in the warehouse, picked out a dozen pieces, looked at them, and asked the staff and soldiers to weigh and load the goods together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, big and small, not just big ones.
This will not be boring, and besides, there are soldiers watching and making records together, and the workers will definitely not be bored.
Because of the thousands of kilometers of transportation, and the transfer between trains and cars, for safety on the way, thick sacks and wooden crates were used in addition to the largest ones.
Nowadays, it is not good for a railway to be stolen without carelessness. And even if it costs dozens of dollars a kilogram, it is a high-priced thing nowadays, and if it is known by those thieves who mix with the railway, they will definitely play with their lives!
Regarding this problem, the leader of the regiment commander Qiu also considered: when the time comes, send a few soldiers to escort the car directly and escort it all the way to Jiangnan Province.
Twenty years later, it's a fantasy, but it's not surprising that the railroads will cooperate.
Now that there are all the coal stealing cars, the railway department is happy if there are soldiers escorting them in the garrison cars of the freight trains.
Bring a gun to escort, and when the time comes, just take the train of the same railway bureau back, and the troops and the railway department will do everything in the formalities.
The railway department wanted to use open cars for transportation - the stones were not afraid of rain, and loading and unloading were relatively troublesome, and the open cars were the most convenient. If there is still it next time, Zhang Nan plans to hope that he can use a stuffy tank truck, so that it will be relatively safe even if there is no soldier escort.
There is also a slightly larger warehouse next to it, which is filled with Hetian green and white jade materials, but the quality is good - Manager Nuer directly gave two tons, 30 per kilogram.
The top Hetian seeds were locked in a small warehouse in the office area, and when Zhang Nan saw those lovely authentic "mutton fat white jade" seeds, his blood pressure was 10 points higher!
Even more than 20 kilograms of mutton fat and white jade seed material are available!
The 80s was definitely a magical era! Buy a piece of jade here and hide it for more than 20 years, which is enough to eat for a lifetime!
"At least 20,000 grams or more!"
But these words can only be swallowed in the stomach - more than 20 years later, the vast majority of the so-called "mutton fat white jade" compared to here, that will be thrown two streets!
And there is no small seed material weighing thirty or fifty grams, and the smallest ones are all pieces that can be carved into bracelets, according to Manager Noor: they don't accept such small things at all, and they can't look down on them!
And nowadays, small pendants and handles are not popular, and even "skin" is almost not so designed and carved.
Want a small pendant?
There are a lot of leftovers piled up in the "waste accumulation place" of the jade carving factory, and you can carve a few pieces casually.
Zhang Nan has heard of such a thing: someone deliberately opened the land of the jade carving factory decades ago with a large wallet, and then dug all the ground to the bottom!
It is for the leftovers and scraps that were littered everywhere at the beginning, and many people who do this make a fortune.
However, the jade material in this small warehouse is not packed into a piece of weighing, but the price of each piece is different, one price per piece.
Although the jade factory is bold, there are not many jade materials of this grade, and the buckle rope is given 300 kilograms!
If you do the math, it's about 200 pieces per kilogram.
A total of more than 14 tons of jade materials, when loading, they were also distinguished, and more than 460,000 points were counted. Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan paid directly with a large satchel -- even the staff of the local bank came to collect the money on the spot.
More than 46 bundles!
This scene stunned the soldiers!
In fact, this is all trivial: in a few locked iron boxes guarded by special personnel at the military station, there are more than 3 million in cash!
If it weren't for the army's convoy, Zhang Nan would not have dared to use a jeep to pull so much money -- a jeep wouldn't have been able to pull so much money, and now it's all "great unity," and the 10 yuan denomination is too large.
Manager Nuer and others welcomed Zhang Nan to come back next time, but this was not over, and after the transaction was completed, Zhang Nan's gossip caused some trouble.
Pointing to a warehouse that he hadn't entered, he casually asked, "Manager Nur, what's here?"
"Oh, the first and second white mountain materials, do you want them?"
"See. ā
The mountain material of No. 1 and No. 2 white is also good, and the relative volume is large enough, which is good for carving large ornaments!
Today, the conditions are not as difficult as they will be 20 years later: the mountains will be covered by heavy snow at high altitudes, and they can only be mined by hand for three or four months a year. Nowadays, there are also places at lower altitudes, which are still state-owned mines.
"Good stuff!"
It's all authentic No. 1 and No. 2 white, and the almost mine doesn't mine at all.
"How do you sell this?"
"8,000 a ton, you're going to give you 10 tons. ā
Tong Ginseng immediately went to shunt the car, but fortunately there were enough trucks vacant.
Yes, pay another 80,000 yuan, and the sun will set in two hours after the goods are loaded -- this is in the westernmost part of China, and the time will be past 8 o'clock Beijing time.
When the other cars return to Kashgar tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the 20 trucks here will return to Wuhan first: don't worry about your own goods, head Qiu and others have arranged them, and they will be stored in the warehouse of the car group first. Wait for all the jade to arrive in Wushi and then transport it to the truck freight station for delivery.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhang, when I go back, I will personally go to watch the loading and packing, and I won't miss you!"
Head Qiu patted his chest and promised: When he went to the bank that day, Zhang Nan withdrew 4 million in one go! He filled the trunks of the two Cherokees, and even stuffed several large bags of RMB under everyone's feet!
Even if Qiu Deming is a famous group leader, he has been used to seeing big scenes for so many years, but it is the first time he has seen so much cash!
"I can sleep on it!"
Why does Head Qiu always go to Zhang Nan's car to chat? I don't hope that someone here can go to his car to watch, which can be regarded as avoiding suspicion!
It's all from the army, and Lao Zhang and Lao Lou know the roots and know the bottom of it, so much money is really a bit panicked!
......
Early the next morning, 25 wagons plus two jeeps set off for Ingisha.
This part of the road is not far, two hours away: stop here because there is a batch of agricultural products to be shipped to Wushi.
Naturally, someone is in charge of freight contact, and Head Qiu is directly looking for the local leader: buy a knife!
The Yingisha knife is well-known throughout the country, needless to say! Its exquisite shape, beautiful ornamentation and sharp edge are all exquisite, it is one of the three famous knives of the Chinese ethnic minorities, and the security waist knife of the Baoan clan and the Husa knife of the Achang nationality in Yunnan are equally famous.
In the Kashgar Grand Bazaar, the head of Qiu stopped Zhang Nan from buying knives because there are more than 1,000 knife makers in Yingjisha, and the local people generally divide the knife makers into three levels: knife maker, master, and master!
There are only 70-80 people who can be called masters, and only about 10 people who can be called masters!
It doesn't matter, you can't get the master's knife!
Generally, knifesmiths do not engrave names on knives, there are many engraved names at the master level, and the master level generally engraves names (except for some styles of knives that do not engrave names, others also know who made them).
Thanks to the help of Head Qiu, Zhang Nan now has dozens of knives that are all handmade by masters - the slightly larger ones can not only cut iron, but also shave hair!
What makes Zhang Nan laugh and cry the most is: he didn't pay a penny for so many knives!
Why?
Captain Qiu gave several masters a bunch of scrapped spring steel plates and some scrapped car bearings!
"The quality of an Ingisha knife depends on its material, quenching and fineness of workmanship. The most important thing is the steel and quenching of the blade, and the best basic steel used is spring steel and bearing steel, which we have a lot. We never have to spend money to order the Ingisha knife, just bring some steel every time we come here. ā
After listening to the words of Head Qiu, Zhang Nan thought of what his brother-in-law said before: "Most of the Tibetan knives in Tibet are really not of good quality, because there is no good steel at all." If there is a good steel mouth, that cutler must have something to do with the auto soldiers!"
After a day in Ingisha, the convoy continued its journey at dawn the next day: after more than a dozen hours, it finally arrived in Hotan.
In just three days, Zhang Nan bought 22 truckloads of Hetian jade seeds in Hetian, causing a sensation in the entire Hetian area - as expected, the price of jade was raised by 20% by his crazy actions!
Not to mention the two old buildings, even all the car soldiers bought some seeds.
"If you don't have 15 years, don't sell it! It's better to survive for 20 years!"
This is Zhang Nan's advice to everyone.
On the fourth day, everyone separated, Lao Lou and Lao Zhang returned to Wushi with the convoy, while Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan would return from the southern route.
"Xiao Zhang, then take care all the way!"
They each went home thousands of miles away and cherished each other!
"Anan, where are we going now?"
"Minfeng!" (To be continued.) )
