Chapter 20: Secrecy

Cao Zhengyang told Ren Feng that the Dalong Mountain Range is full of mines, mainly copper, iron and gold, and basically every branch vein has mines mined. But there are not many people who can really make money, and in some places the veins are very weak, the taste is also low, and the cost of mining and refining is very high, and the more you dig, the more you lose money; Of course, there are also those who can see the mine as soon as they dig the surface, and they have high taste, and they can get rich overnight with little investment. So, mining here is like gambling, gambling is character!

Cao Zhengyang started out as an ore trader, he didn't have a mine, he didn't mine, he just bought the ore mined by others and sold it to the refinery to make a difference. The risk of doing so is relatively low, the main thing is to consider the market situation, buy when the market is down, sell when it is high, you will definitely be able to make a big profit, otherwise you will lose, as long as the funds are strong enough, and you are not worried about losing your money. Of course, if you don't have enough money, it's like gambling.

He didn't have much money at the beginning, most of them borrowed, and he couldn't go home at all for the New Year in the first year or two, because there were people who came to collect debts every day when the year came. But he seized several waves of the market, and within a few years he made a lot of money, not only paid off the original debt, but also became one of the well-known local mine owners.

After having money, he is not satisfied with just making the difference in the price of ore, after all, the money can buy a limited amount of ore, and when the market is in a downturn, the funds are trapped there and cannot move, and there is no initiative. If he can build a mine and mine by himself, then the ore is his own, and he can mine more and less as he wants, and he also has a good way to ship, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it.

He only needs to figure out the amount of ore in the mine, and if there is a mine, there will be money. For this reason, he inquired everywhere about the distribution of ore veins in Dalongshan. After spending a lot of money privately and relying on a lot of relationships, I found a retired member of the geological team of the year, accompanied him to eat, drink and have fun, took care of his family, climbed relatives, and finally finally got a copy of a set of geological exploration maps of Dalongshan from him.

The original geology team member did not teach him how to read the map, but repeatedly stressed that he should not leak it, and told him not to go to him again in the future. Cao Zhengyang, a person with a junior high school education, finally barely understood the picture through all kinds of hardships.

The direction of the veins on the map is very consistent with his understanding of the veins in the Dalong Mountain area over the years, so he is even more convinced of this set of maps.

He found an opportunity to take over a loss-making mine at a very low price, and as a result, he quickly dug a bonanza and the assets were upgraded and inflated again. Others only thought that he was lucky, born with fortune, and that no matter how broken and rotten the mine could be transferred to him immediately, even the blind fortune tellers in the countryside thought that he had found out that he was extraordinary, and he must be rich and noble, and boasted of himself and raised his worth. But he knew very well that it was the exploration map that helped him a lot, the previous boss was actually only one step away from digging the ore vein, but the funds could no longer hold on, and he didn't have an exact grasp of how long it would take to dig the mine, so he had to withdraw as soon as possible, and he just picked up a big bargain.

He has gone from being a poor babe to becoming the number one person in the oven, thanks to his effective collection of intelligence and accurate analysis in advance, so he can always be invincible. But his biggest intelligence has not yet been activated, that is, the mountain behind Ren Feng's house, the mine deep underground in Panlong Ridge.

Judging from that set of exploration maps, this is the main vein of the entire Dalong Mountain Range, the birthplace of various ore veins, and the real core ore veins are here. According to the map, there are more than 100 tons of gold reserves here, and there are even more associated copper mines. If this mine can be mined, Cao Zhengyang's current mine is really not worth mentioning.

But the nearest mine to the vein was also a few kilometres away, and a former state-owned gold mine, which was later said to have been hollowed out, was withdrawn, leaving behind a barren hill that had been dug up for most of it. However, Cao Zhengyang knew through internal information that this was a superficial cover, but in fact, the mining cost increased later, and the conditions at that time were difficult, so it was sealed as a national reserve. What can support this news is that after the withdrawal of the original state-owned gold mine, the strange explosion sealed the golden mouth.

Cao Zhengyang told Ren Feng this, obviously not because he had kept the secret for so many years, and he was uncomfortable. He wanted to discuss with Ren Feng if he could directly open a mine in Panlong Ridge to jointly develop this treasure. He knew that this piece of land was contracted by Ren Feng now, and he had also inquired about Ren Feng's deeds, and knew that his "martial arts" were enough to suppress a bunch of crumbs.

"Isn't there any other way?" Ren Feng didn't want another mine in his hometown. It is these mine owners who really benefit from the mining industry, but they destroy the environment of their hometown, and the parents and villagers of the family can only go down to the deep and dark mine and risk the danger of collapse to be humble miners. By the time the mine was gone, the mine owner had taken all the wealth with him, leaving the area with devastated ruins and disease-ridden miners.

"In fact, it is not the best way to dig a shaft directly in Panlongling, and the burial depth here is too deep. The best mine is actually the horizontal shaft of the state-owned gold mine back then, although it has to be dug a few kilometers away, but the slope is not large, the progress is faster than the shaft, and the safety factor is also higher, and the mine has been excavated a lot, and the exit is close to the national highway, and the transportation is much more convenient. Cao Zhengyang patiently explained to Ren Feng: "The problem is that this state-owned gold mine has been sealed, and I have asked many people to restart the well, but in vain, it seems that the country is still very close to this." ”

"Are there any other mines that can be drilled into? For example, Brother Yang, your current mine! Ren Feng asked.

Cao Zhengyang said: "In fact, all the mines in Dalongshan can be drilled, but the distance is different. Of course, my mine is also possible, it is not the closest among these mines, but it is not far either, it is about three or four in line. But even if I want to drill the Panlongling vein, it will take at least 5 years according to the current progress. As far as I know, I'm not the only one who can get the exploration map, and the others are not vegetarians, especially Zhang Zhepeng, his father is the deputy county magistrate, and his background is harder than mine, and his mine has a distance advantage over me, if he takes the lead, it will be difficult for me to compete with him. ”

This matter was too unexpected for Ren Feng, it seems that the 2 million is not so easy to take!

Ren Feng suddenly asked: "Is it that if I don't agree, you won't give me money?" ”

Cao Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, these are two different things, 2 million things were said before, no matter whether you agree to partner in the mining process, you have to give this money at any time!" But why would you say no? If this mine is mined, you will definitely make more money than your farm! ”

Ren Feng thought for a moment before replying: "I don't know how the specific income of this mine is, but I can also imagine that this is a huge amount of money." Just looking at these mines around here, it is really not good for the nearby villagers, and the good Dalong Mountain is full of potholes, which is miserable. I don't want our Renjiazhuang to be like that! In fact, according to my parents' wishes, I can also find a comfortable job outside, without worrying about food and clothing, and stay away from the poverty and ignorance here. But I still decided to come back and start a business, I just want to change the appearance of my hometown, I want to build this place into a prosperous, vibrant, civilized and convenient community like a city, and can maintain a beautiful, healthy and green scenery, and keep a paradise and a pure land for my hometown and future generations! I really don't want to dig a mine in Panlongling! ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhengyang was silent for a long time, and just when Ren Feng thought he was going to be angry and regret it, he suddenly laughed: "Okay!" I'll think of other ways to open a mine. Your words remind me of me when I was younger. I used to have a similar idea of changing the status quo in my hometown, but the more money I made, the more lazy this idea became. Young people, you should have a little dream, a little pursuit, I respect your ideas! ”

"Brother Yang, thank you for your understanding!" Ren Feng sincerely thanked him.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter, I hope you can keep it secret about Panlongling! Or let's talk about the 2 million, when do you think you want it? Cao Zhengyang said that he would put it down, and he didn't drag it at all.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I know how to measure!" Ren Feng is not a big mouth who will die if he doesn't gossip, he cares more about 2 million: "I have no problem preparing funds in the first 3 months, mainly because the expenses after the beginning of the year are relatively large, and I need Brother Yang's strong support at that time!" ”

"No problem!" Cao Zhengyang was very simple: "I will ask the accountant to make a public account, and the card will be given to you at that time, ensuring that there is no less than 200,000 balances in it at any time until the total of 2 million is used up!" ”

Ren Feng was very excited: "Thank you, Brother Yang!" Then this interest ......"

Cao Zhengyang smiled: "You and my brother, what interest do you want!" ”

"What's so embarrassing?" Ren Feng was entangled again.

Cao Zhengyang liked this little brother more and more, and said to him: "Don't be embarrassed, I also have something to ask you!" ”

"Brother Yang, you say, as long as you don't open a mine in Panlongling!" Ren Feng hurriedly replied.

"Poof!" Cao Zhengyang couldn't help laughing: "You still think about that mine, you are more concerned than me!" ”

Ren Feng couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a while, Cao Zhengyang said: "I'm not kidding you, in fact, I really have something to ask you for, but not now." I just heard you talk about your pursuit, which evokes my memories. I also want to build an ecological farm like the one you said in Caojiazhuang, which can be regarded as fulfilling the dream of my youth. But I'm a rough person, I don't read much, and I don't know how to do this ecological farm. When your farm is built and you have money, use the 2 million to help me build the same one in Caojiazhuang! ”

"No problem!" Ren Feng's request for this can be said to be unacceptable.
