Chapter 584: Workaholic

A country that will violently confiscate white land, Zhang Nan really can't count on that legal document. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The middlemen talked to each other about a few large white farms in the mining area, and now the two families are happily continuing their careers as farmers in Texas.

Rather than staying here and risking the arbitrary confiscation of your land, it is better to sell and start a new life in the United States - the middleman solves the problem of visa and choosing a suitable new farm, and as for naturalization, buying a farm is considered investment immigration, and everything falls into place.

As for the rest of the land, it was taken from the Zimbabwean government, and in the future, as long as Zhang Nan did not build an atomic bomb on this land, the local government would not want to intervene.

As for the building that Guan Xingquan refers to that is still under construction, it is the future barracks of the mining area, which will not only be used for the miners to live in, but also to be provided to the mine protection team.

Billions of profits a year, since the nature of the land is privatization, and even the mineral rights are the same, then Zhang Nan only recognizes the current documents.

If those politicians want to hack their own things by playing word games, then Zhang Nan will teach each other to be a man by using the rules that have always been observed in the land of Africa!

......

Transporting a steady stream of construction supplies from the Umtali railway station will also see engineering teams unloading truckloads of barbed wire.

Nearly 50 square kilometres of land are fenced off with barbed wire, and more than half of the work has already been done. At that time, in addition to the employees of "Star International", the largest creature in this range will probably only be rabbits.

Today, Zhang Nan met Xiang Zhangsheng again, this guy has been here from Australia for more than a week, and he is directing a small drilling rig 20 meters away to probe the geological structure below.

Sections of core were set aside, and Xiang Zhangsheng's old colleagues, a technician dug from the Huaxia diamond mine, were conducting the most preliminary analysis.

Zhang Nan watched the scenery for 10 minutes, there are many stones on the hillside, there are a lot of vegetation scattered in Lala, and the location at the foot of the mountain was originally farmland.

But after the beginning of spring this year, except for a few pieces of land that have become vegetable fields that employees are busy cultivating, the rest have begun to be abandoned.

The drilling rig took out the core, Zhang Nan stepped forward and asked Xiang Zhangsheng, who was looking at the core: "How is it?"

"It's a strange geological structure, the shape of the tube is irregular, but it doesn't matter. ”

As he spoke, Comrade Engineer pointed to a small dot on the core that reflected a charming sparkle under his eyes and said, "There are at least two or more rock tubes here, with diamonds. ”

He pointed to the valley floor down the hill all the way to the south, "The alluvial ore stretches for more than ten kilometers, and the degree of enrichment is amazing!"

Two or three meters below the surface soil is the diamond ore layer, which is hundreds of meters thick, and even this low hillside is at least 60% alluvial.

Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, there should have been large-scale tectonic movements, and these contonics became secondary to mining.

It is possible that the original rock tube that caused this large alluvium would have disappeared long ago, or that it could be hundreds or even kilometers underground......"

Last week, Xiang Zhangsheng was not active in the mining area at all, and spent seven days driving an off-road vehicle with several safety officers around the area.

To outsiders, it looks like they're visiting the mountains and rivers, but they're actually looking at the nearby rock structures.

The technicians in the early stage found that there were at least 40 square kilometers of diamond deposits under the 50 square kilometers of land, but outside the company's rectangular land, there was nothing related to diamonds at all!

The alluvial mining area should have been formed very early, much earlier than human history, and even earlier than the age of the dinosaurs!

The slopes of the hills could have been valley floors, but the valley now runs from north to south, with the southernmost point of the alluvium about 300 meters from the southern barbed wire.

A few dozen meters later, the rock and soil samples drilled out have all changed, and they don't match the Kimberly eye at all!

Magical!

The boss draws a box on the map and gives the most valuable minerals in the country!

After marking the notebook and map, Xiang Zhangsheng smashed the core with a hammer.

Very loose, not typical kimberlite, more weathered.

After looking at it in general, I found two small diamonds, one large and one small, the larger one was about 0.5 carats, and the smaller one was at most 0.2 carats.

Without a magnifying glass, the naked eye can determine that this is a gem-quality color.

"The rock tube should be able to reach 6 percent, and the lower gem grade can be about 8 percent, which is not comparable to Australia. ”

The others are starting to call it a day, and the rig is here for now, and there are still people working here tomorrow.

There is not a single Zimbabwean in the mining area for the time being, and now the technicians are all guys from China, and those who deal with the outside world are deliberately replaced by people from the United States.

Just take away the core specimens, and a few bodyguards also help carry them, of course Zhang Nan doesn't have to do it, and he chats with Xiang Zhangsheng casually on the downhill road.

"Last time, the Australian side reported that 20% of them were fancy colored diamonds, but there are none. ”

There are a lot of colored diamonds, even pink diamonds, and they are valuable!

And Zhang Nan's favorite is colored diamonds.

Xiang Zhangsheng said with a smile: "How can there be such good luck, the vast majority of particles are only a few tenths of a percent, and there are still a lot of impurities, and the gem-grade colored diamonds are only 50% at most." ”

"That's a big deal, it's much richer than the Adair mine. ”

"That's right. ”

"The first batch of small colored diamonds has been sent to India, where they will be processed and then brought to the international market, and you will be given a bonus when the time comes. ”

The diamond mine at the foot is close to the city, so it is very well positioned on the map, and Zhang Nan only knows the approximate location of the diamond mine in Australia.

Although Comrade Engineer can drink with wild boar belly for three days in Australia, he also suffers a lot!

In order to find out what was actually going on in the mine, several nights were spent in the field.

Naturally, some people will report these things to the head office, and those American prospectors are not as dedicated as Xiang Zhangsheng, and they often maintain the habit of working 40 hours a week.

And the guys in Huaxia are different, and the working hours in a week will even exceed 70 hours!

Xiang Zhangsheng is even crazier, for the three weeks he arrived in Australia, except for seven or eight hours a day to sleep, everything else is work, work, or work!

You can work more than 100 hours a week, there is no entertainment, no vacation, and eating is like a war!

Every time I drove out to work with my subordinates, I would bring a tent and two or three days of supplies, predicting that I would save time going to and from the camp once I got into the state.

Once, wild boars almost arched their tents!

A real workaholic!

Hearing this, Xiang Zhangsheng smiled and said: "I didn't have a chance before, I went crazy when I saw a big mine in geology, we have to be worthy of the high salary you give." ”
