When the group came to the hotel, Li Mingjun said to Li Dongwen and Li Xianqiong: "There are still a few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, you can play near Sini for a few days." Tickets for the Olympics have already been arranged. ”

Anderson hurried over to offer his courtesy, of course, he spoke English, there was basically no barrier to communication between the two sides, and Hong Kong Island also spoke English.

Anderson: "I'll be a tour guide and take you on a tour of our family's gold mine and farm. Anderson began to show off to Li Xianqiong, and Li Dongwen was transparent in his eyes.

"We want to walk around ...... by ourselves"

"It doesn't hurt to take a look by the way......"

The former sentence was said by Li Xianqiong, and the latter sentence was said by Li Dongwen.

Li Dongwen is a studious person, he is in Shenniao and Tongyuan, and he is also a farm, so he wants to see how the farm here is made by the way.

By the way, this one will go hundreds of kilometers away.

The Anderson family's farm is still a few hundred kilometers away from the city of Sini.

The group went by car. Anderson arranged for two off-road vehicles.

This season, Australia in the southern hemisphere, is spring, the season of fertile water and grass.

It's not so much a farm as a pasture. A large number of cattle and sheep graze in the valley, and the scene is very beautiful.

Australia's cattle and sheep are exported to all over the world and are one of Australia's pillar industries.

Li Mingjun is negotiating with Anderson about the supply of beef and mutton to Hong Kong. The business of the two sides has come and gone, each takes what it needs, and is mutually beneficial.

The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the natural scenery along the way is very eye-catching.

That evening, Anderson hosted a bonfire at the farmhouse to welcome guests from afar.

Grilled lamb chops and wine are the main features of the bonfire.

Li Dongwen and Li Xianqiong also took forks and barbecued by themselves, just to experience the fun.

The two of them were eating with their mouths full of oil and having fun. Anderson walked over with a wine glass in his hand, accompanied by a young man.

"Introduction, my good friend, Steven. Anderson introduced Steven to the two.

In Li Dongwen's view, Australians almost all look the same, and there is not much difference.

Steven was also shocked when he saw Li Xianqiong, this is a typical red face and trouble.

Steven's means of causing trouble is to fight alcohol.

It seems that the thing of fighting wine is not only Chinese culture, but also foreign countries, especially young guys who collide together.

Although the wine is not very palatable, Li Dongwen naturally does not refuse to come.

As a result of the fighting, Li Dongwen poured Anderson and Steven down alone.

The next morning, when Li Dongwen and Li Xianqiong walked together in the farm, Anderson and Steven had not yet sobered up.

The wine has a lot of stamina, drunk slowly, and decanted even slower.

In the huge farm, there are not many people who work.

The grapes are still green, and before they are ripe, there are not many people taking care of them in the fields.

In the pastures, there are more cattle and sheep, and there are few people grazing.

Li Dongwen was very disappointed by this.

This was not the result he wanted.

He wants people, the more people, the better. You are an individual who has little work, how can I refer to it?

At noon, Anderson and Steven woke up, still dizzy.

The original plan was to visit the Anderson family's gold mine today, but Steven vetoed it.

"There's nothing to see in the gold mines, come to my house tomorrow and see the diamond mines. Steven strongly advised.

The campfire barbecue continued that night, and Anderson and Steven no longer dared to ask Li Dongwen for wine.

The next morning, the group drove off to Steven's diamond mine.

The Steven family's mine, which has been mined for 30 years, is still an open-pit mine with no deep pit mining.

The name of the mine is Argai, and the diamond production is large, but the grade is not high, more than eighty percent are industrial-grade diamonds, and only about twenty percent can reach gem quality.

The mine is rich in pink diamonds, which produce more than half of the world's pink diamonds.

In the afternoon, Li Dongwen and others saw a series of pink diamonds and rough diamonds in Argyle's exhibition hall.

Li Dongwen felt that the diamonds here were generally small, far less large than the diamonds he dug in the Three Kingdoms.

Li Xianqiong looked at the little stars in her eyes, and her expression was extremely focused.

Before sunset, the group visited the beneficiation process again.

The process of choosing a diamond can be described as a process of finding a needle in a haystack.

The diamond ore is mined and transported to the concentrator by truck, and then the ore is washed to be cleaned.

Next is beneficiation, in which rough diamonds are selected from the cleaned ore.

Beneficiation is a technical job, which is carried out by experienced masters.

Li Xianqiong and Li Mingjun watched it with relish, it turned out that the diamond was selected in this way.

Li Dongwen's consciousness swept away, and the large and small diamonds were nowhere to hide, and he felt a little bored.

In Li Dongwen's view, this practice of finding a needle in a haystack is purely a waste of time, especially for mine washing, which wastes too much water.

Beneficiation is more like looking for a needle in a haystack, competing for eyesight. Of course, a bright and large diamond will not be missed.

Steven is also a person who loves to show off, first let the master of mineral processing explain the basic methods of mineral processing to everyone, and then prepare a plate of freshly washed ore for each guest, so that everyone can choose by themselves and experience the profession of mineral processing master.

Soon five large plates of washed ore were sent, Li Dongwen, Li Xianqiong, Li Mingjun, Anderson and Steven, one plate each, and began to select diamonds.

Everyone chose carefully, for fear of missing a diamond.

Li Dongwen glanced at his plate of ore, picked up a small shovel, and quickly divided the ore into two piles, one large and one small. The big pile is very large, the ore is almost all in the big pile, and the small pile is very small, only a pitiful dozen pieces.

Then, Li Dongwen watched Li Xianqiong almost lie on the pile of stones, carefully selecting.

Quietly watching, and not speaking, just like watching a game of chess, watching chess without saying a word.

"Wow, I found another ......" Li Xianqiong enjoyed it.

Steven's screening speed was not slow, and in about half an hour, a large plate of ore was selected, and more than 50 pieces of ore were selected.

Anderson also picks quickly, not much slower than Steven, and seems to come to play regularly. He picked out more than thirty pieces.

Li Mingjun selected more than two dozen yuan, and when he saw that Anderson and Steven had finished choosing, he also stopped and stopped choosing.

Only Li Xianqiong was full of energy, she only selected half of it, and she selected more than 60 pieces. Looking at this piece is also like a diamond, and that piece is also like a diamond, and I am reluctant to give up.

In the end, when Li Xianqiong finished choosing, more than 100 stones were selected.

The final appraisal results of these players were collectively given by several masters in the mine. Li Xianqiong undoubtedly works the most seriously, but more than half of the selected ones are waste stones, and there are no diamonds at all.

Steven is the most professional player, almost comparable to a master, and there is basically nothing wrong with it.

Anderson is also good, there are mistakes and mistakes, but there are not many mistakes.

A few of the pieces selected by Li Mingjun are waste rocks, but not many. There are a lot of people he missed, and he is obviously not a qualified master.

Looking at the stones selected by Li Dongwen, the master was a little surprised. None of them were chosen wrong, and there were diamonds in all of them.

Of course, there are those who are missed, and those who are missed are all those that Li Dongwen looks down on and automatically ignores.

Of course, Li Dongwen can't look down on these selections, but when you choose the big ones, you always have to choose a few pieces.
