Chapter 260: Money to Earn Together
"The most beautiful Kunlun jade lies in Khotan." And Khotan in ancient times is today's Khotan, known as Khotan. Hetian jade has a dense structure, a strong sense of moisture, and high quality, especially the mutton fat jade. Its tremolite content is more than 99%, which is the "king of nephrite" and is also a specialty of the Hotan region.
The jade vein discovered by Zhang Tianyuan can be said to be quite high in quality, not to mention the color, in terms of texture alone, it definitely contains the characteristics of warmth and divine light, and it can be said that the texture is quite outstanding.
In ancient China, the color of Hetian jade was very important, it is not only an important symbol of quality, but also contains a certain ideological connotation. The ancients may have been influenced by the Five Elements Theory, and distributed five-colored jade according to the four directions and the center, with the east being green, the south being red, the west being white, the north being black, and the center being yellow. In ancient times, the five colors of blue, red, yellow, white, and black were the positive colors, and the others were intermediate colors, so that jade was also divided into five colors. However, Hetian jade actually only has four main colors: white, green, ink and yellow, and jasper is also produced in the Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains.
The jade of this jade vein discovered by Zhang Tianyuan is basically white jade, and some people may think that white jade is valuable, but in fact, it may not be so.
White jade is from white to bluish-white, and even off-white, of which white is the best. Its names include mutton fat white, pear blossom white, ivory white, fish belly white, fish bone white, brown rice white, chicken bone white, etc., among which mutton fat white jade is unique to Hetian jade. Mutton fat white jade is very small in quantity and has a high value. Most of Hetian white jade is ordinary white jade, but white jade should be white and warm, if it is white but not moist, it is dead white, and it is by no means a high-grade jade.
Therefore, even if it is white jade, it may not be good jade. If it can't be white and warm, it means it's creamy. That can't be considered good.
In fact, the standard of this qiฤ is mutton fat white jade, which belongs to the top white jade. The rest may not necessarily lose to mutton fat white jade in color, and even white can achieve mutton fat white, but in terms of fat powder and texture, it is far from the same.
However, Zhang Tianyuan is lucky, the jade vein he found, although he has not found mutton fat white jade yet, but the fat powder Cheng dรน is not bad, it should be said that it is a middle-to-high-grade white jade. This is not a low price in the market.
Chinese people have a special preference for jade, many people have never been in contact with jade, the first time they see jade, no matter what the quality of this piece of jade is, will produce a special emotion from the depths of their hearts, jade can be accepted by people of different cultures, different nationalities and different periods, which can be seen its charm.
This is also why the value of nephrite jade is rising year by year, and now that the common people have money, they are afraid that they also want to try the feelings of the ancient aristocracy. What kind of gold, white jade, these are what they like.
According to Zhang Tianyuan's judgment, the jade vein they found was generally of quite good grade. It is definitely a popular product in the market, and although a large amount of white jade is used, there are also some other colors of jade. The textures are all quite good.
According to the occurrence and color of Hetian jade, varieties are divided, such as white jade, white jade mountain material, green jade, etc. According to the color, texture, complex, impurities, weight, etc. of jade, it is divided into grades, such as special grade, first grade, second pole, third grade, etc. Grading standards. It is very important for the jade trade.
However, these divisions are too verbose, so I won't go into details, all in all, the white jade in this jade vein he found should be the white jade between the second and first grades.
To put it bluntly, it is white in color, delicate and moisturizing in texture, no fragmentation, no impurities!
Of course, there may also be high-grade mutton fat jade, but Zhang Tianyuan can't see it as far as his eyes can see at the moment, so it's not easy to speculate.
In terms of reserves, as far as Zhang Tianyuan sees so far, there are about ten tons, if you are lucky, the entire vein will be completely mined, not to mention hundreds of tons of material, such a jade mine, in fact, it can definitely be regarded as a big mine.
In terms of the difficulty of mining, in fact, the location of this jade mine is very wonderful, it is located in the upper reaches of the river, and when transporting jade, you only need to go down the river with a bamboo raft or a wooden raft, which is very convenient.
In the case of mining, there is no need for large machinery, just digging out the mine, which can avoid a lot of consumption and waste.
As for safety, any jade mine has potential safety hazards, but Zhang Tianyuan is definitely a conscientious businessman, he will mine jade in the future, even if it is a little less, he must definitely put safety and the life of jade miners first.
Now many businessmen have a black heart, completely get into the eye of money, and do everything for money, which makes Zhang Tianyuan very disdainful.
But he can't interfere with what others do, and he can't control what others do, he just wants to do his own thing, that's enough.
If the jade in this mine can be fully mined, it is estimated that it will be worth billions, and this is just jade, don't forget, he has a jade shop, specializing in jade business, these jade stones are in his hands, it is just raw materials, if it is sold, the value will be several times.
Zhang Tianyuan felt that he was very lucky, with Nie Gongzi as a matchmaker, and with the help of Xinjiang Jade Emperor Kurban, he didn't have to think about the resistance to mining jade ore at all, as long as there was money and people, it was enough.
Or it can also be said that he is well prepared, if he hadn't gotten acquainted with Nie Zhen, he was afraid that he wouldn't have come to Hejiang and wouldn't have anything to do with these jade mines.
Of course, you have to think about this matter, if you want to make a lot of money in Hetian jade mining safely, then no one here will definitely not be able to, otherwise whoever gives you a black foot and makes a trip, then you will be finished.
The best way, of course, is to bring Nie Zhen and Kurban into the partnership.
Needless to say, Nie Zhen had already agreed to support him, of course he also wanted to honor Nie Zhen for some benefits, which was actually nothing. The key is that Nie Zhen's family is powerful and powerful, and they can speak well on the side of Hejiang, even the border guards, patrolling the Kunlun Mountains. Nie Zhen can speak, and it is said that many of their old man's subordinates are working here.
As for Kurban. After all, it is the local landlord who gives him some profits. Naturally, he wants to help, who will have trouble with profits?
Zhang Tianyuan has calculated that 5 percent of the annual profits of this jade mine will be given to Nie Zhen, 5 percent will be given to Kurban, and another 5 percent will be used to improve the relationship with the local government, build his own network, and then use 5 percent to do a good job in safety work.
In this way, the profit he gave away was only 20 percent. The remaining 80 percent.
However, Zhang Tianyuan is not distressed, sometimes, it is a blessing to suffer, especially if you have to do these things, especially when you have just entered this circle, you have to rely on others to help.
Whether it is Kurban or Nie Zhen, if the relationship is good, it is not just a matter of this jade mine, everything can be cooperated happily in the future.
I thought about it. He simply gritted his teeth, and then pulled out another five percent from it, ready to divide it equally among One-Eye, Alpha, Gulzana, Ismail, and Kun Zhou.
He decided to let these five people help him take care of the jade mine here, in addition to the basic salary. In addition, they are also given profits, so that they can also work motivated, because the higher the profit of the jade mine. The more they get, the more they get.
One-Eye may not be easy to dig, but the other four are fine. Management is much easier than jade mining, and it's not dangerous. There's no reason why they shouldn't agree, after all, they are all locals, who wouldn't dare to be stupid if they have money to make?
"Advisor Zhang? What do you think, so into the gods? Seeing Zhang Tianyuan standing there, he pondered for a while, frowned for a while, and asked with some curiosity.
"Let's go, let's go back." Zhang Tianyuan made up his mind to bring these four people, as well as Alpha, who was still guarding the two pieces of jade in the camp, into the gang, so that not only could they avoid leaking the news, but he also didn't have to find someone else to be responsible for jade mining, it was impossible for him to stay in Hejiang all the time, and it was very troublesome to find someone, these people were all people who had experienced danger together, and even life and death, although Sima Yi and Kun Zhou were somewhat timid and afraid, but their character was not bad, and the two of them were really experienced jade pickers, and they could definitely help.
"No, Advisor Zhang, this jade mine hasn't been found yet." One-Eye said.
"Isn't this it, you've found the right place, let's go, and when I go back, I'll tell you a plan to make a fortune." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Oh." As soon as everyone heard that they were rich, their eyes lit up, and they didn't ask any more questions, so they followed Zhang Tianyuan and rushed back.
One-eyed also specially snatched Zhang Tianyuan's back basket and carried it on his back, Zhang Tianyuan didn't refuse, others are well-intentioned, he doesn't need to bite Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know the hearts of good people.
When he returned to the camp, there were only a few people standing guard here who were guarding Kurban's jade, and no one came to join in the fun, Zhang Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and called everyone to the tent, while Shenluo was outside to keep watch.
"What are you doing, Brother Zhang, so mysterious?" Gulzana asked, confused.
After Zhang Tianyuan sat down, he told his plan, of course, about the filial piety of Nie Zhen, Kurban, and the local government, they were all directly omitted, and there was no need to say this.
As soon as Zhang Tianyuan heard that he would give them five percent of the profits, and also give them additional wages, the only requirement was for them to set up a jade mine management company to be responsible for the collection of jade mines.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Ismail asked Kun Zhoudao.
Kun Zhou smiled and went up and pinched Sima Yi fiercely, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "It's true, it's not a dream!" Consultant Zhang, no, Boss Zhang, seriously, a few of us don't have any skills at all, if you let us manage your jade mine, aren't you afraid of making jokes? โ
"Don't underestimate yourself, Brother Ismaili, you and Kun Zhou are both old jade pickers, and you are most familiar with jade mining! And what I mainly value is actually the people of you, we have come all the way, we have gone through a lot of hardships, the last time I was almost hit by a big rock, it was the one-eyed to help me carry it, and when the mudslide came, you did not abandon the injured one-eyed, just from these two things, I recognized a few of you, and I will definitely be able to do this well. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as Boss Zhang trusts us, we will definitely do things well, not to mention that even if there is no profit of one percent, I will do it well." Sima Yi said excitedly.
"No, the profit is for you, then for you, basically I have estimated, the output value of this jade mine can reach about 200 million a year, of course, this requires you to do a good job, do a good job. Don't worry about sales, we have a dedicated sales channel, have you calculated what is the profit of one percent? โ
"Two million?"
"That's right, it's two million!" (To be continued......)
