I don't know what the name of this small island is, and the area is not large. But in the vicinity, there is an island that is not smaller than China's treasure island, called Sri Lanka.

Almost a thought in time, Weihang came to Sri Lanka's territorial waters.

He heard that it is one of the member countries of the British Commonwealth, and in ancient China it used to be called the country of lions, the country of masters, and the Sinhalese.

Sri Lanka's economy is dominated by agriculture, and the country's most important export is Ceylon black tea. The country is also one of the four largest tea producing countries in the world, so the domestic economy is heavily affected by the tea production situation.

In the process of liberalization, the rate of growth has continued to accelerate. Sri Lanka's biggest advantage lies in its mining and geographical location, it is a gem-rich island, one of the world's top five gem producers, known as the "gem island", of which ruby, sapphire and cat's eye are the most famous.

Offshore, Weihang can find opal's gem mine through sea pearls. He picked up a piece, didn't know how to appreciate it, and threw it into the sea pearl.

If you look closely, you will see that the people living in Sri Lanka are very similar to those of Indians.

If you look at the history, you will know that the people of this island first moved in from India. Today, it is a multi-ethnic country and is very friendly to China, which is completely different from India.

When Wei Hang came ashore, he saw many Chinese.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that wherever there are gemstones, there will be Chinese jewelers! This is not a joke, and now Chinese jewelers can be said to dominate the world. With the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people, the consumption of luxury goods is very urgent and the market is vast.

As a country rich in gemstones, how can there be no Chinese?

For example, Gu Xiaobao is a jeweler stationed here, and he purchases the most opal here, almost controlling thirty percent of the opal channels, which is quite valued by the local government and is regarded as a VIP.

Don't look at Gu Xiaobao's superficial scenery, he is also very worried in his heart.

Although Sri Lanka is rich in gemstones, gemstones are non-renewable resources, and as mining time increases, gemstones become more and more difficult to find. Take opal as an example, some time ago it took a lot of money to find a deposit, smashed a lot of money into it, and finally found out that it was a waste mine.

Even if he has abundant funds, he can't afford to toss like this a few times!

He heard that the jewelry of the Chen family in China is getting bigger and bigger, and people have turned their attention to the ocean. The jewelry on land has been mined to a great extent, and everyone knows it.

The jewels of the ocean are still a virgin land, which made the Chen family eat their first bite of crabs.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Gu Xiaobao also began to shift his attention to the shallow sea, starting from Sri Lanka. He asked the team to explore for more than half a month, and thought that there should be a gem mine nearby. The relevant vessels, already ready.

The Sri Lankan officials around him were smiling, and their favorite was the current Chinese businessmen, who knew that there were Chinese businessmen who were keen to invest in mines all over the world.

The Chinese jeweler next to him has invested more than one billion yuan in their Sri Lanka, which is a very huge amount of foreign investment in their country, and the senior management attaches great importance to it and gives it all kinds of convenience. Even officials of his level have been sent to accompany him around the clock, which shows the degree of attention.

It can be said that as long as Gu Xiaobao takes a fancy to a place and says that he wants to open a mine, there will be absolutely no one to stop him.

Today, when he learned that Big Boss Gu was setting his sights on the offshore sea, they were even more happy. There will be talk of environmental damage on land, who cares about the ocean?

Boss Gu saw an oriental face coming towards him, and for some reason, he was suddenly in a good mood. I am afraid that this is the case when I meet my compatriots overseas! It is as if I have seen a fellow countryman and feel cordial.

"Little brother, are you here for a tour?" he asked with a smile.

Wei Hang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that someone would talk to him, and there was a Hokkien accent in his words, which was also very cordial.

He nodded: "Come out and play for a few days, I'm a sea diving enthusiast, hehe! You know." ”

After hearing this, Boss Gu's eyes lit up: "Have you gone down to see the sea in front of you?"

After speaking, he suddenly felt that his introduction was not clear enough and did not show sincerity, so he hurriedly added: "Oh! Look at my memory, my surname is Gu, and I play with jewelry." ”

Playing with jewelry, Wei Hang was stunned again, and suddenly remembered the second Chen Jianliang.

Wei Hang nodded: "I've seen it, I have to say, the sea water around here is not bad, clear! Because it is located in the tropics, all kinds of corals are also beautiful." Unfortunately, I'm not a photographer. ”

Boss Gu asked again: "Did the little brother find any special ore?"

As soon as Wei Hang heard it, he knew what this guy had in mind. But it has not been exposed, there are some things that I am not interested in, and it is better to cheapen my own countrymen.

He took out a piece of opal ore with a beautiful opal inlaid inside.

"There's this kind of thing, I don't know if it's special, I think it's pretty good. Wei Hang laughed.

Gu Xiaobao snatched the opal ore almost regardless of his identity, looked at it for a while, and then reacted, and hurriedly handed it back to Wei Hang: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Brother was excited for a while, do you know that this is the famous opal ore? Brother, you have picked up the treasure." I don't know if I can ......."

In the end, it's a bit twisted, after all, it's also a fortune, and who would reveal it easily.

Of course, he can also find it, but it will take a lot of time and money.

Wei Hang didn't pay much attention to it, and then said: "It's over there, less than two kilometers away from here, it belongs to the shallow sea, and the depth is about thirty or fifty meters. It seems that I was lucky, go back and work on it. ”

In return, they provided such an important information, and Boss Gu immediately said enthusiastically: "Brother can trust me, leave it to me, I have a professional gemstone carving team, and I promise to help you get it right." Plus, you've done my brother a great favor. Let's have a meal later, my brother is still a little cautious. ”

However, Wei Hang didn't want to entangle with him, his time was precious.

So, Wei Hang shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving soon, and the tickets are booked." How about we have another drink in the future?"

Gu Xiaobao is not a stingy person, after hearing this, he quickly took out the checkbook and generously wrote a check for one million yuan to Wei Hang.

How can Weihang, who doesn't want to expose himself, accept it?

He retreated: "I'm just doing it with my hands, my brother has a heart." If my brother doesn't want to go, how about donating this million to people in need?"

Gu Xiaobao sighed in his heart, and it wasn't until Wei Hang left that he put away the check and decided to donate it after returning to China.

Without further ado, he immediately sent people to survey the sea area pointed out by Wei Hang. If he really found a gem mine there, his jewelry company would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
