Chapter 106: Drawing
Early the next morning, a few people went to the town to find a Dell computer store, spent 3,000 reais to buy a top-of-the-table one, and spent hundreds of dollars to install a powerful genuine drawing software.
After buying a few mobile chargers with the largest milliamps and fully charging them, I found a home that sold Western-style breakfast, and a few people had a big meal, and then returned to South Ferris Ridge again.
When driving past Beiling, when he saw the open-pit hundreds of meters deep below and the dense figures below, Fang Yuanshan was terrified~
"Damn, CVRD is crazy! Isn't this similar to the blood diamond incident in South Africa, except that they pay more~"
Hearing his emotion, Locke next to him said: "This is something that can't be helped, after these pits are opened, many large transportation equipment can't go down at all, and can only be transported by manpower." β
"But now the conditions are much better than before, and now there are conveyor belts, just move the conveyor belt. In the early years, it was carried by manpower, and at that time, there were often large-scale casualties, and a stone could be carried and rolled down the way, killing many people at a time. β
Hearing Locke's words, Fang Yuanshan was shocked, isn't this the "blood mine" in Brazil?
Then he asked suspiciously: "I remember that large conveyor belts have been used in industrial production for a long time!
"Hey~ Boss, do you want electricity? The conveyor belt needs electricity, right? In the past, this place was much more desolate than now, where did the electricity come from, and it could only rely on power generation! The cost of diesel fuel and machine loss is very high!"
"Brazil's economy shrank in the early years, and many people were unemployed and had no choice but to open the mountain. Anyway, the salary is so much, you don't do it, someone will do it~ Later, it led to large-scale demonstrations and demonstrations, and the cost of mining continued to increase. β
"Wow, I said how could U.S. Steel sell this hen that lays golden eggs, it turns out that there are so many twists and turns in it~"
"So from the moment the capitalist came into the world, from head to toe, every pore dripped with blood and filth. β
"Boss, don't have a sense of substitution!"
Seeing that Locke hurriedly followed again, Fang Yuanshan smiled and didn't speak. Originally, he thought that mining was a very simple matter, nothing more than drilling holes and opening mountains, and then digging by mechanical arms and transporting them by conveyor belts. But after seeing the situation in Beiling, he was shocked, and he didn't expect that today in the 21st century, there are still people who are opening the mountain in the most primitive way.
The dense crowd of figures and the huge conveyor belt that stretched like a dragon to the bottom subverted his common sense.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see the situation at the top, the men carrying crowbars on their shoulders and using all sorts of methods to get the huge rocks onto the conveyor belt.
Thinking of the future situation in South Ferris Ridge, Fang Yuanshan shuddered all over~ His future wealth is based on the blood and sweat of these people?
Maybe people who don't know him will say that he is hypocritical, but after seeing the situation in Northridge with his own eyes, I believe that there will be many people who feel the same way as him. It's no longer about morality, it's purely a feeling of pity for being a fellow kind.
Seeing Fang Yuanshan's gloomy face, Locke beside him knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Hey, boss, in fact, you don't have to be like this. After all, it's not the same as before, and their current working environment is actually pretty good. β
"You don't think they're hard, but the wages are the highest in Brazil. And now that the Ministry of Labor is overseeing it, things like the old blood mines wouldn't happen again, otherwise you wouldn't have seen so many people. You know, Brazil is a country that likes to enjoy, and since there are so many people here, it proves that they like the job, what do you think, boss?"
"Well, you have a point. β
"Oh, no! Locke, when did you start talking about the big truths?"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing Locke's speechless look, Fang Yuanshan suddenly laughed~ The mood that has been gloomy since seeing the situation in Beiling has also improved a lot.
This "Land Cruiser" full-time four-wheel drive off-road vehicle rented from the airport has good performance, and its performance is quite superior on potholed concrete roads, except for bumps when passing too large puddles, everything else is a jump, and the speed is maintained at more than 70 miles per hour
By the time we arrived at South Ferris Ridge again, it was almost noon, so I settled lunch in the car. After eating, let them wait for him in the car, Fang Yuanshan took the computer and mobile power supply, and walked alone along the 7 or 8 kilometers long hilly area.
According to the topographic map in my mind, I draw the stratum trend on the computer, stop and go, and sometimes even need to mark it with text due to the limitations of the drawing software.
Seeing that the shapes of many places were gray-black, without the unique properties of iron ore rock, Fang Yuanshan was helpless for a while. He probed to a depth of only 50 meters, and by the standard of open pit ore, 300 meters from the surface to the surface is considered an open pit......
From noon to nearly 6 o'clock in the evening, he finished the South Ferris Ridge, and only 26 leyline maps were drawn, and the rest of the places were gray-black, indicating that they were just ordinary rock layers, and he didn't draw them.
Looking at the topographic map in the computer, Fang Yuanshan patted the computer and smiled with satisfaction~ With these topographic maps, at least he has a preliminary understanding of South Ferris Ridge, otherwise tens of millions of dollars will be invested in it, he is really not at ease, in case he is deceived by Taylor, an old bastard, when the time comes, he will not even be able to find a place to regret it.
"Let's go back to St. Louis. β
After a night's rest in the largest town in northern MaranhΓ£o, we rushed back to Rio the next morning. As soon as I got off the plane, there was a short message prompt on my mobile phone, and when I picked it up, I saw that it turned out to be a gold card from a Brazilian bank and received an overseas transfer: 40,000 reais.
Looking at the numbers on his phone, Fang Yuanshan felt that his face was hot and uncomfortable, as if he had been slapped a few big mouths. I asked for 80,000 yuan from that Han Yuankui just because his mouth was too smelly, so he deliberately asked for such a high price. Now Bei Tinglan really sent 80,000 yuan, which immediately embarrassed him to the extreme~
"Hehe, good, good, you guys are really good!"
"Okay, I'll let you know that money isn't everything. "I complained hatefully, and the phone rang again~
Seeing the number on it, he put down his mobile phone and rubbed his face vigorously, and then grabbed his mobile phone and said, "Boss Ding, if you have any instructions, just say! As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." β
"Hey, you kid is now a big boss, and this tone is different!"
Listening to Ding Hanmo's words, Fang Yuanshan was like a deflated ball, his body also leaned back, and said with a cheap smile: "What kind of boss is not a boss, it's just a mouthful of food, how dare you call the boss in front of your big boss Ding!"
"Cut, and I don't borrow money from you, so I don't have to cry poor with me. β
"Okay, let's not talk about that. I want to ask you something, this morning Bei Tinglan asked me for your bank card number, I don't know what's going on, is it convenient to tell me why?"
After thinking about it for a while, he still told Ding Hanmo what happened, and Ding Hanmo over there followed after hearing it: "Don't blame Lan Lan, this matter is definitely not decided by her." β
Originally, after telling the story in a self-deprecating tone, he didn't expect Ding Hanmo to put forward any constructive suggestions, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
