13. Mammoth tusks

It's past ten o'clock in the morning.

Ye Mu hadn't slept for more than twenty hours, and went to the hotel to settle down: "You two also sleep, and when I wake up, I'll set off." ”

"Oh. Xia Qian nodded obediently. Ye Xiao

is excited, after all, it is the first time to go abroad, and everything feels fresh......

"We slept on the plane, can we go out for a walk?"

"No, I can't. It's not very safe here, and there are a lot of ruffians and hooligans. Ye Mu scared them, but to be honest, he really didn't feel at ease when he let the two girls go out alone.

After getting Ye Xiao's assurance, Ye Mu went back to catch up on sleep, woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon, and took the two of them to the shopping center in Anchorage.

"Is this really the largest city in Alaska?" Ye Xiao took Xia Qian's arm, the girl looked indifferent, holding her mobile phone, not knowing what game to play.

Ye Mu shrugged: "The population is small, so be so-so." "The largest city in Alaska, it feels like a small county town that is not as good as my hometown.

I went to the movies, went back to the hotel for a night's rest, and set off the next day.

The 600-kilometre journey leads to Fairbanks, a very famous tourist highway. There are nature reserves, snow-capped mountains, large pastures and much more along the way.

Along the way, the longest stretch of uninhabited land is more than 160 kilometers.

Today is not a special day, it will take a long time to see a passing car......

Returning to Fairbanks smoothly, Ye Mu drove the car directly back to his home.

Ye Xiao looked at the time: "It's been thirteen hours by car, why is it still daytime?"

"Haven't you seen the travel guide before you came? There is the phenomenon of eternal day and eternal night, and now in July, eternal day, the day is as long as 22 hours. Ye Mu said, lifting the luggage of the two: "This is the house I bought in the city, not bad?"

A small western-style building with a garden, if placed in China, is a luxury villa.

"Pretty good. It is...... The yin qi is too heavy. Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Entering the house, Ye Mu arranged a room for them and went out to eat.

Yin Qi is heavy, and it means that there are few people here.

On the spacious street, there are few pedestrians, deserted, and there is no sound. For those who are new to this area, they are not used to this.

Ye Mu found a good Western restaurant, opened a bottle of red wine, and poured it for the two girls very gentlemanly......

"Brother, did you find a big gold mine this year?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile and in a low voice.

"Better than what I found last year. Ye Mu raised his glass and touched it with them.

"That...... I'm going to discuss something with you, I've resigned with Qianqian, and I want to come out and do things on our own, can I sponsor some money?" Ye Xiao said embarrassedly.

"Why did you resign?" Ye Mu knew that Ye Xiao's job was good, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

"This stupid girl is shallow, I can't look past it when I am bullied by my colleagues...... Then, there was a fight. ”

"It's all my fault...... Xia Qian buried his head and said.

"It's none of your business, I've been seeing them unpleasantly for a long time. Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at Ye Mu: "Brother, we want to do some business on our own, can you sponsor us for some money?"

"How much. ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars is not too much, if there are millions, it would be great. ”

"How about three million?" Ye Mu's gold stored in the bank was converted into money, and there were more than five million yuan. With so much money, it would be blind for Ye Mu to take it out and invest it himself, and putting it in the bank is the most irrational way to manage money.

"Three million ......"

"I had good luck this year and opened a big mine. "The valley of good fortune has more gold reserves than originally estimated. With the addition of two heavy-duty bulldozers, the work progresses faster, and it is estimated that the mining work in the bony mining area in the center of the Good Luck Valley will be completed by the middle of the year: "Three million, count my shares." It is estimated that after this year, I will almost be able to return to China for retirement. Ye Mu smiled, the job of gold panning is like gambling, it can make people addicted. If you're lucky, it's not uncommon to get rich at one time. Bad luck, investing money equipment to find no gold mine or find junk gold mines, also abounds. Now that I've made a lot of money, I can really consider closing it. After all, Ye Mu doesn't have a golden finger, so he can't guarantee that he can be lucky forever......

On the Fox Gold Mine side, there are more experienced miners than Ye Mu, but luck is gone.

After eating a very good Western meal, Ye Mu took them for a walk around the neighborhood and then went back to sleep.

The phenomenon of eternal day is actually quite annoying. The night was only two hours, and it wasn't particularly dark, so I went to bed when it was almost time to go to bed......

"Sister Qianqian, will you be scared when you sleep?" After arranging the rooms of the two girls, Ye Mu showed a smile like a big bad wolf looking at the little sheep.

Xia Qian's face was cute, he stared at Ye Mu with inky black eyes for two seconds, and shook his head: "No." Then he hurriedly stepped back, slammed the door shut, and there was a sound of locking the door.

This girl's reflex arc is more than two beats slower than normal.

But listening to Ye Xiao, he is also a key university...... There is no problem with IQ. It's a brain circuit, which is not quite the same as a normal person. Very cute one cute ......

Ye Mu smiled and went back to his room and dialed Bote's phone: "Hi, buddy. ”

"Coming back?"

"I'll come back in about ten hours, tell everyone to clean up the camp, take a shower and change clothes......"

“OK。 ”

The gold digging team, a large group of men, lives as casually as they do. If they don't go out, the workers rarely shower, trim their beards, and wear dirty overalls. But if an employee's family member wants to come over, everyone will collectively dress up to keep the family from worrying. This is tradition, not a treatment that only leaves are an important member of the team......

Working on the construction site for a long time, I suddenly relaxed, which made people feel very tired. After taking a shower, I slept beautifully, and then took them to the construction site.

If relatives come over, everyone will not behave excessively, and the construction site is still like that. It's just that everyone changed into clean clothes, took a shower, and straightened their hair. It's still working......

Karn is melting gold.

Ye Mu showed them the process of melting gold.

"By the way, this old man with a white beard is Karn. Ye Mu looked at Karn and smiled, "My sisters, Ye Xiao and Xia Qian. ”

Karn financialized the yellow that belonged to Ye Mu alone into a 33-ounce gold bar, which had a layer of impurities attached to the surface of the gold bar, and when crushed, it was brilliant pure gold. Ye Mu took the gold in his hand, weighed it, and handed the gold that was still warm to Ye Xiao, so that she could enjoy it.

After Karn purified the gold, he looked at Ye Xiao and the two girls and said hello to Ye Mu, "We have already started digging a rich mine. It is estimated that there are still ten days of work, but the mine washing will not be until the end of the month. The vein of the Valley of Good Fortune, the further upstream you go, the less gold there is...... Do you think you should continue to explore further?"

Karn suspected that there was a gold mine in the upper reaches of the Valley of Good Fortune, the kind of gold ore that had been formed by mineralization, not the alluvial placer that it is today. There is some truth to Kahn's speculation, alluvial placers do not form for no reason. The old creek in the Valley of Good Fortune must have a vein of gold somewhere upstream. But such a gold mine, with their team, even if they find it, they will not be able to eat it, not to mention that going deep into the Valley of Good Luck is a high mountain, and the difficulty of exploration is not ordinary. And if there is a big mine, the company's exploration team will not bother to find it......

"It's too late. This quarter, the gold mines in the Valley of Good Fortune will be mined, and it will be almost there. Haki said, and as he came out of the workshop, Karn's walkie-talkie rang.

"Found mammoth tusks, come here. ”

“OK。 ”

The discovery of mammoth tusks is not particularly remarkable news.

In the past few years of Ye Mu mining, no less than ten mammoth tusks have been dug up, and the best-preserved mammoth tusks are less than 100,000 US dollars, and the tens of thousands that are slightly worse in condition are only a few thousand or worthless at worst. But in any case, there may have been a windfall, and several people rushed over.

It was Zhang Kun who dug out the tusks, this guy, drove the excavator over with one paw, and the originally intact mammoth ivory was dug into a few sections.

The tusks are very well preserved, the surface is pitch black, and you can still see white where they are broken. This is a mammoth ivory that can be carved and is found in the permafrost......

When digging frozen soil, mammoth ivory is not found at the first time, but during the transportation of waste residue. The quality of this ivory is very ordinary, even if it is intact, it is worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Only......

That's because Ye Mu, as well as the rest of the team, don't value this money very much now.

"Brother Zhang Kun. Ye Xiao saw Zhang Kun and shouted.

"Sister Ye Xiao. Zhang Kun walked over, handed Ye Mu a cigarette, and asked in a low voice, "Am I in trouble?"

"It's intact, it should be $20,000. Ye Mu shrugged. This side of the market is basically at this price. If the mammoth ivory is in super good condition, and then it is artistically processed, it will be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, but it will be shipped to other places to be sold, and it must be the craftsmanship of a master.
