Chapter 35: You Tease Me.
When the Chinese night falls, it is the time when the American sun rises.
A group of prospectors in Alaska, USA, home to a newly discovered world-class gold mine, is putting the finishing touches on the mine.
In fact, according to the data obtained two days ago, it is already confirmed that this gold mine is a super gold mine with reserves of more than 8,000 tons of gold. It's just that according to the process, there will be one last hole drilled today, and the data will be summarized before it can be officially determined.
"Jack, didn't you eat in the morning, hurry up, get this drill hole, and we'll get the bonus." ”
Shet...... I've worked hard, but the data fed back by the drill bit today is a bit abnormal, it's only 70 meters, and the temperature of the drill bit has exceeded 1100 degrees, so I can't speed up anymore. ”
"Oh my God... 1100 degrees, did you drill into the granite? How can it be that hot. ”
"God knows what the hell I got into. ”
Half an hour later, with great difficulty, the drill bit finally reached the position of the vein.
"Guys, hurry up and analyze the gold element content of the ore right away. Once that's done, we'll be able to get the prize, and you'll be able to go in style. Think about those big beauties, don't you have motivation?"
After the ore sample was extracted, the owner of the prospecting team immediately yelled that he couldn't wait to go to the mine owner to ask for a bonus. The reward for discovering a world-class gold mine is a huge sum of money.
But unfortunately, there is sometimes a big gap between dreams and reality. After assaying the ore samples, it turned out that the elemental content was only 0.01 grams per kilogram.
Such a gold content, where is the content that a gold mine should have, even if you find a random stone on the side of the road, the gold content in it may be higher than this.
Shet...... Are you sure you're not getting the data wrong?"
"Boss, I've tested it three times, and it's all this data. ”
In an instant, everyone was stupid, could it be that their prospecting results went wrong two days ago. If that were the case, their reputation would be ruined. After all, the news of the discovery of this world-class gold mine has already spread.
If it suddenly breaks out at this time, it is they who make a mistake, and the consequences are unimaginable.
"Immediately make another drill hole and re-analyze. The boss yelled.
A group of people immediately started the machine, and drilled down again from the side of the drill hole just now.
Half an hour later, the ore sample was extracted, and the results were exactly the same as before.
The crazy boss didn't believe the result, and ordered his men to go to the surrounding locations of the eyehole the day before yesterday to work and see what was going on.
An hour later, the prospecting team split into three teams to drill holes to extract ore samples.
The shocking results were that all ore samples were below the standard gold content for mineable. In other words, there are no world-class gold mines, only very small gold veins.
And this gold vein has no mining value at all, because the cost of mining completely exceeds the value of the gold that can be mined.
"The funniest prospecting team in history!"
"Was the day before yesterday April Fool's Day? A 'world-class' gold mine with only 7.5 tonnes of reserves. ”
When the actual reserves of this world-class gold mine were exposed, the media rushed to report on it, directly saying that this mine, which was worth hundreds of billions of dollars the day before yesterday, was worthless.
And after this 'world-class' gold mine was exposed, another world-class gold mine discovered yesterday was immediately on the cusp. Countless reporters went to the mine to photograph the work of the prospecting team.
As a result, I really found a problem.
After a long time, it turned out that this world-class gold mine was a hoax through and through. The prospecting team took money from the mine owner and deliberately released the news that a world-class gold mine had been discovered here.
Not to mention gold, this mine doesn't even have iron ore, and the ground is full of dirt, which has no value at all, and is completely a wasteland.
At this time, the media of various countries around the world were in an uproar, and the two world-class gold mines that broke out in three days were all fake.
When the public learned the news, the decline curve of the gold market stopped instantly, directly fixed at $43 per gram, and began to slowly recover.
This is not the end, when the media found that there was obviously a problem with the gold transaction, they began to show their magic and went to the world's major gold mining companies to find out the news.
As a result, a big shady curtain was exposed, and the world's largest gold mining company, together with the world's third, fourth, and seventh gold mining companies, is shorting gold futures.
Originally, they only wanted to influence the price of gold through gold shipping channels, but they didn't expect God to help them and make two world-class gold mines go unchecked, which directly caused the price of gold to dive.
When the gold mining companies saw this situation, they shipped even more frantically and sold all the old bottom of the warehouse. It directly pushed the price of gold from $82 per gram to $43 per gram, a full half.
The profits are unimaginable, but because there are so many of them, several major gold mining companies are caught in it, and it is easy for the media to find out about the problem.
After the world-class gold mine Wulong was exposed, they wanted to quit, but because they ate too much, they couldn't withdraw for a while.
For a whole day, the media in the Western world frantically reported about gold.
The results were also brilliant, directly causing the gold market to rise from $43 per gram at the beginning of the morning to $67 per gram, and it is still rising wildly.
When the sun sets in the Western world and the sun rises in China, all the journalists who have just gone to work in China are Spartan.
