Chapter 784: Giant Diamonds Don't Come Every Day
The noise in the concentrator workshop is still relatively loud, as soon as several production lines are opened, "boom" is indispensable, but fortunately, the largest crushers are outdoors, otherwise they can shake the sky!
But even so, Zhang Nan felt like he had run into the weaving workshop that his sister Zhang Hui had managed before, and the voice was ......
In fact, it is still not as good as the weaving workshop of the textile mill where people can be hearing impaired all year round, that is, the work protection of the workers here is better, and the workers who operate the machines here not only do not have to worry about the cold outside, but also wear noise-proof headphones and industrial masks on their faces.
There are very few people, the operation is mechanized, and the first few steps of the screening step do not need security personnel at all, because whether it is the blaster, excavator, mine truck driver, or dispatcher here or in the mine, it is unlikely that they will see what the rough diamond looks like at all!
On the side of this concentrator, only in the last two sorting processes will the staff see the separated rough diamonds, and then there are the company's security personnel watching from the side.
Rules, this is a diamond mine!
One of the strictest rules in the mine is: within the scope of the mine, ore transportation channel, and accumulation yard, if you are alone, if the hammer in your hand falls to the ground, then you must first find the person closest to you, and return to the place where the thing was dropped and pick it up!
Iron rules!
If someone violates, get out of the way after a body search, or even take another X-ray!
Whether you accept it or not, this is the mine!
Although the environmental conditions in the difficult area are relatively difficult, the salary is high, and there are many people who want to save some money for a few years when looking for a job.
In the past two years, there have been a few unlucky people who have gotten out of trouble because they violated the regulations of the mining area: two of them wanted to take the sheep by the hand, and one picked up things, and more than once, and they did not change their ways.
Of course, there are also a very few people who are expelled because of boring life, bad temper, and constant fighting.
The mine wants an assembly-line "robot", and people who are too individual and have too many small ideas are not suitable here.
Capitalists, coupled with the characteristics of mines (good people don't open mines), this is the virtue.
There is also a guy who has violated a rule that Zhang Nan, the boss, once set: the western part of the island is designated as a "protected area", and no hunting is allowed during the bird breeding season!
Written into the company's disciplinary regulations, it is still a Chinese security officer sent by the "United Forces" who violates the regulations, and he will get out of the face of iron discipline!
I didn't kick it back to my hometown, and this kind of mistake doesn't need to be so ruthless, at least it looks like it shouldn't infringe on the interests of the boss and the company: like hunting?
No problem, the company has an internal fine of 1,000 Canadian dollars, you better not stay in Canada, go to Australia, where wild boars are rampant, foxes and rabbits are infesting the world, and hunting talents like you are needed!
Zhang Nan heard the unlucky guy that Davis talked about, and said casually: "1,000 Canadian dollars, it will take a few years to earn it back in the current Huaxia, and some of them are distressed." ”
Davis smiled and said, "It's okay, the person who received it over there sent a message back that because he knew the reason for his punishment, he sent an amateur hunting team to participate in an invasive alien species hunting competition in the local province because he knew the reason for his punishment."
In a two-person team, that guy and a Texan guy killed 55 wild boars, 138 rabbits, 27 foxes, 22 wild dogs and 8 wild cats in a week!
24 hours a day, probably crazy for money, killing prey like a combine, all on the news of Australian national television, newspapers have blown those two guys as the king of hunting.
The prize money is 50,000 Australian dollars per person, and this kid also wrote a letter to blow it, which made some guys here red-eyed for several days. ”
This group of people is already in the final rough sorting workshop, there is almost no noise, hearing Davis's words, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "This is also a talent, probably suffocated in his hometown, do you know what he did before?"
"When I was a soldier, my family seemed to be a hunting team before, and I saw it on the transfer document. ”
"Let the best of the best of one's talents, lest you be in this evil to the birds. In a few years, we will probably be able to see it from the Mir space station, and the boss on the earth has a scar, which is ugly enough.
If no pipes are found in the western half of the island, it will not be too far away, except for the necessary dumps. When we have free time, we pull up a barbed wire fence to separate that side, and it is used as a bird protection area in our Lake Gera mining area.
Also, don't bring cats and dogs to the mining area, one accidentally makes it look as bad as the Australian side.
I'm not worried about sabotage, but the most annoying thing is the radical environmentalists, who will annoy people to death if they make trouble. ”
Zhang Nan is not against environmental protection, but there are some environmentalists in North America...... Forget it, who makes himself an evil capitalist, and they have a fundamental position conflict.
What is the biggest headache when mining in North America?
Don't be afraid of the law (you can't do it before you get it, and it doesn't count if you sneak a few people to pan for gold), not afraid of the police (because it's legal), not afraid of government officials (paying taxes legally), just afraid of nearby residents protesting and environmental protection organizations coming to find fault!
Tens of thousands of square kilometers of this area were originally no man's land, and local residents protested that this did not exist, but this North American environmental group has great powers, and one day it will come here to join in the fun.
Don't be afraid of making trouble with this mining company, there are 10,000 ways to deal with you! But you have to be restrained on your own side, so as not to get the fish in Lake Gera and the migratory birds on the island extinct, then people will really grab the pigtails and hold on to them!
After chatting a few words, I intuitively felt how busy the concentrator here is to process about 2,000 tons of ore a day, and this amount will increase with the development of the mine.
"In a year or two, the mining area on this island will enter the peak production period, and this concentrator alone will be able to process up to 3,500 tons of ore a day, and the rough produced in a month will reach more than 300,000 carats......
In the past few months, the monthly rough diamond production has been around 200,000 carats, and the proportion of gem-quality rough diamonds is very large.
Xiang Weirong also listened, and calculated in his mind: two kilograms of large and small rough diamonds a day, the price paid is thousands of logistics personnel, the world's longest ice high-speed, and an astonishing amount of investment.
"Zhang Sheng, diamond mining is really not something ordinary people can afford. ”
Xiang Weirong sighed a little, and Engineer Xiang was similar: the cost of mining in extremely cold areas is ......
Scared to death!
There were only a few people in the inspection workshop, and two Indians were also working here, and when they saw Zhang Nan coming in, they stood up very consciously.
Maybe these two Ah San had seen themselves in the processing factory of the Jia Yin family in Mumbai before, otherwise even if they knew that they were the biggest bosses, they didn't need to be so serious.
Hierarchy, these two guys should not be of a high caste, and as a result, they are thrown here to be frozen, and they eat fish every day: if they are Hindus, beef is insulated. There is not much mutton, not much chicken, more beef and fish, and the supply of vegetables is not particularly abundant.
On the contrary, India's Mus-Lin can adapt more here, at least not hungry.
What, cattle and sheep have to be slaughtered by hand?
Forget it, you better go back to India and cool off, we can't afford to hire in the mining area!
Seeing that the small particles of rough diamonds here need to be chemically removed from the oil stains on the surface, which are screened out by the oil strip, Zhang Nan is not interested in this part.
The ones with large grains are good, and there are also many rough diamonds weighing between 0.7 and 2 carats, which are called "large grains".
The diamond mine is not an auction company, the rough diamond of this size is already good, the diamond mine is to win and make money: from 0:00 today, this will be past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, 17 hours to find the largest rough diamond is 8.93 carats, 12 sides, the surface is still gray, whether it can reach the gem grade has to be identified.
As for the fourth quarter of this year, the largest rough diamond is very good: a colorless octahedral rough weighing 50.23 carats, with an almost flawless interior. This will have been negotiated a long time ago, and it will be given to the Jia Yin family, and it can also play a dozen of their cards.
For Zhang Nan, not to mention the rough stone, it is not uncommon for the cut loose diamond to weigh 50 carats, because he is too rich.
And for the entire diamond industry, this grade of good body shape (octahedron) 50 carat grade rough diamond is already an out-and-out treasure!
This is the diamond mine, and the giant diamond is not every day.
