For the next two days, Kuang Jingxia has been accompanying Wu Shixiang everywhere, and Kuang's Group has invested in two high-end hotels, a restaurant, and entertainment venues. Basically, eating, drinking, and having fun are one-stop service, according to Lao Kuang's words, you have to socialize various relationships every day, and it is better to do it yourself than to let others make money.

Taiyuan is still very prosperous as a provincial capital, and Shanxi people are relatively low-key, but Kuching businessmen have been pioneers in entrepreneurship. The most famous is the Qiao family compound, and the earliest ticket number is also from here.

"Brother, how have you been playing these two days? We're not bad in Shanxi, right? ”

Wu Shixiang said with a smile: "Brother, everything is good, but I can't stand it if I have to drink a small cup of vinegar every morning!" ”

"Haha, this is our habit, no way, the air is not good, the dust is heavy, drink some vinegar to clear the blood vessels, and you can live a few more years."

Early in the morning, Wu Shixiang and his entourage came to the company, today Lao Kuang arranged for a tour guide to take them to the surrounding places of interest, Wu Shixiang is fine, since he came out, have a good time, relax.

"Boss, there is a call from Liangshan, it seems that something has happened!"

Just when the two of them were chatting happily, the secretary suddenly hurried in and whispered with the phone.

"Hey, it's me, um, I know, wait for me to deal with it."

Wu Shixiang saw Lao Kuang answer the phone, frowned, and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"Hey, it's still a matter of the mine in Liangshan, it's really annoying!" Kuang Jingxia rubbed his eyebrows and explained: "A group of Diao people, always blackmailing me under various banners, the last time you opened your business, you said that the mine buried people, I rushed over to take a look, it was their play!" I came out with 500,000 yuan, and I came here again today! ”

Wu Shixiang also had a headache when he heard it, this situation is really difficult to handle, mining is originally high-risk, and no one can tell if there is an accident. And now the media is very developed, once it is used by people with bad intentions, it will be pushed to the forefront. It's not easy for anyone.

"Brother, I'm sorry, you follow the tour guide first, and I'll take a look. Up to two days back. ”

Things have to be solved, Kuang Jingxia has no choice but to go there in person, let the secretary book the fastest ticket, ready to go.

"Shall we go with us? I happened to follow my brother to see it, in case I could help? ”

Wu Shixiang recommended himself. Anyway, it's okay, there is time to go to places of interest. Just go to the mine and learn about the Nanhong industry.

"Really? Well, together! ”

Kuang Jingxia doesn't care, he has long had the intention of cooperating with Wu Shixiang, and he took this opportunity to go around together. What he has is that he mainly values the brand effect of Muyuanju, and how to make Nanhong a high-end gemstone recognized by the market and improve profit margins is what should be considered as a red.

The group quickly got on the plane. Then I took the car to Liangshan Damei County, and finally arrived at the place at seven o'clock in the evening.

"Brother, this is really a barren mountain and a wild mountain, a land where no grass grows!"

Along the way, Wu Shixiang looked at the increasingly desolate mountainous areas, which were sparsely populated, and there was not even the most common crop land in the countryside. Several cars were bumpy along the rugged mountain road, but fortunately they were all Humvees with excellent performance, otherwise the bones would not have been able to stand it.

"It's been a lot better in the past two years! When I first came here seven or eight years ago. I can't believe that there are still poor places in the country! Lao Kuang recalled: "There are no roads in the mountainous areas, and there are less than 1,000 people in several villages, and their ancestors have been nested in the mountains for generations. Relying on the sky to eat, a family has a pair of pants. The whole family is crammed into a quilt, and whoever goes out can wear it. ”

Wu Shixiang was a little surprised: "Won't it?" Last time, I counted in Hashi Village in Tibetan areas, which was even more remote, and the people were not so poor. ”

"Tibet is poor because it is remote and sparsely populated. It's poor here because people are lazy! Kuang Jingxia said disdainfully: "You don't know, when I first came." With a lot of kindness, he took millions of dollars out to build roads and bridges, and also built a school. Thinking about helping the villagers get rich together, the mine provides jobs and guarantees three meals, what is the result? ”

Kuang Jingxia gritted his teeth and said: "A few years ago, it was okay, the villagers were quite obedient, and their lives gradually improved." But in the past two years, I have become more and more greedy, and I heard that Nanhong is expensive, so I not only began to steal mines and sell them, but also threatened me for various reasons! I can't stand it for three days. ”

"The quality of the mine is very high?"

"Generally, the ore yield is not high, and the southern red pole is produced in Baoshan, Yunnan, and there are many red persimmons. However, there are many cracks in Baoshan, few large materials, and the best products are all small pieces, and they cannot be sold at a high price. ”

"There are a lot of materials in Liangshan, but the color is not right, there are many variegated colors, and a large piece of material comes out, and less than one-tenth of the real material can be used. The mine here has been exploited and is almost depleted. It is estimated that the villagers knew this, so they opened their mouths and wanted to reap some benefits in the end. ”

After listening to Lao Kuang's explanation, Wu Shixiang had a concept, Nanhong is also a traditional gem with a long history, but its status is very embarrassing, and it has only improved in the past two years. But the market recognition is average, the price can't be raised, a string of good Baoshan material bracelets is up to a few thousand, and Liangshan's two or three thousand can be picked at will.

"Since there are a lot of things here, why don't you go to another place to open a new mine, with your strength, brother, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lao Kuang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to, look!" ”

He pointed to the big mountains outside the car window and said: "Except for Damei County, the surrounding area is all military restricted areas, and the place can't be controlled at all, even if you know that there are minerals in it, let alone open a mine, people will be arrested if they go in." ”

"I see, military restricted area." There is no way to do this, as soon as the matter involves the army, the place does not even have the right to intervene, no wonder Lao Kuang would rather be coerced by the villagers than change to a new mine.

When they finally arrived at their destination, as soon as seven or eight people got out of the car, a mine worker ran over, said a few words to Lao Kuang, and asked them to go to the villagers' houses.

"Boss Kuang, you're finally here! It's going to kill someone! ”

As soon as he entered the dilapidated house, a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek and a pockmarked face was crying and complaining loudly.

"What's it called? Be quiet! Kuang Jingxia's face was fierce, and he looked like a big boss.

"Wang Mazi? Are you kid playing tricks on me again? ”

Wu Shixiang was behind Lao Kuang, looking at several men and women in shabby clothes in the room, and there was a wounded man lying on the bed, his head wrapped in dirty gauze, motionless, not knowing what the situation was.

"Boss! See what you have to say? My Wang Mazi has a conscience in the world, as a villager, I have always been loyal to you, when have you ever played cats? ”

Wang Mazi looked flattering, leaned in front of Kuang Jingxia, hunched his waist, and explained in a low voice. Originally, he had a villain face. It seems more obscene.

"!" Kuang Jing kicked Wang Mazi away, walked directly to the bed, and ripped off the gauze of the lying person, and the wound had already scarred. I don't know when the injury was, even the blood on the gauze was made later.

"I've come all the way here, and you're going to let me see this?"

Looking at Kuang Jingxia's angry appearance, Wang Mazi did not have a trace of embarrassment, and said with a cheap smile: "Don't you dare to entertain Boss Kuang if you borrow my guts?" Actually, I'm representing the villagers this time. Want to talk to you about a deal? If you don't say what happened, you are busy, how can you have time? ”

"Talking about trading?" Kuang Jingxia laughed angrily, sat down again and asked, "Okay, since you're here, I'll listen to your business!" ”

"Dead mother-in-law, don't you go to cook yet? Kill the chickens, fry a few dishes, and entertain the guests. ”

Wang Mazi loudly asked everyone in the house to go out to cook, and Kuang Underground also asked his mine employees to be busy. Only he and Wu Shixiang and his party were left in the house.

"Say? What the hell is your kid up in the middle of that? ”

Wang Mazi saw that there was no one, took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, handed it over first, no one smoked, he lit one, Meimei took a puff, and said leisurely: "Boss, you have been in our realm for seven or eight years, right?" Speaking of conscience, is my Wang Mazi loyal to you? ”

Kuang Jingxia frowned, puzzled: "What are you doing talking about uselessness?" I admit it. You kid on the spot is also meritorious, a few years ago you helped me gather the villagers to the mine, but in the past two years you have been insatiable! ”

"You can't say that!" Wang Mazi shook his head and said unhurriedly: "We were stupid before. I thought that the boss could afford to look down on this place, and the mining gave everyone a bite to eat. are all grateful, it can be said that without Boss Kuang, there would be no life in our village. ”

"But you've made a fortune here, haven't you?" Wang Mazi said shrewdly: "What is the price of Nanhong now?" You and I both know it, and I'll keep it for you. Not to mention other places, just this village, boss, you earn at least 50 million a year, right? ”

Kuang Jingxia's cold light flashed, and he said sharply: "So what? How much do I invest upfront? Don't want money for machine qì equipment? There are also all kinds of relationships, is it possible that money falls from the sky? ”

Wang Mazi looked at Kuang Jingxia's ruthless appearance, and his heart was a little weak, and he quickly explained: "I didn't mean that!" You are the one who makes big deals, of course you have to invest a lot of money, and you have to make a lot of money! I mean, if you eat meat, you want us to drink some soup, right? ”

"I've been waiting for this for a long time, right?" Kuang Jingxia smiled, how many big scenes he had seen, and all kinds of methods were not strange, and asked, "Tell me what you think?" ”

"You see, now the mine is basically running out, and the quality of the ore produced this year is getting worse and worse, and even your own engineers are not satisfied. In this case, you, the big boss, definitely don't look down on these small mines, I discussed with the villagers, or should we do it ourselves? ”

Seeing Kuang Jingxia's face change, Wang Mazi hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong! What I mean is that our village pools money, contracts a few mines, and gives you a share of the money every year. Your family has a big business, you don't care about these little money, and it also gives the whole village a way to live! ”

"Alive?" Kuang Jingxia sneered and said disdainfully: "Wang Mazi, don't play with my heart!" I know exactly what you kid thinks. It is said to be a way for the villagers to live, but in fact, it is a way for you to make money, right? ”

Wang Mazi's face changed, and he quibbled: "Where do you start with this?" Is this really what the people in the village meant, don't you believe it? You can ask from house to house. ”

"That's what you're stirring up in the middle of! Don't think I don't know? Who owns the two houses in the city? Was it sent by the little coal boss named Liu Shan? She's almost fifty, and you kid can sleep with her? I really admire you! ”

"You?" Wang Mazi looked horrified, he didn't expect that Kuang Jingxia, who didn't come to his secret once a year, would be like watching the fire? Frightened, he stood up and trembled a little. The one in front of him is not a good man and a woman, it is a big boss who covers the sky with one hand.

"Recently, you've been making trouble for me and stumbling up, just for today, right?" Kuang Jingxia said indifferently: "Although I am not in the mine, but if I don't even know this thing?" It has long been eaten alive! ”

"I don't blame you, people are greedy, watching me make a lot of money, and selling the mine you worked so hard to dig for a high price, no one is balanced. You kid has a truth, this idea may not be your idea alone, the people in the village probably have this idea more or less, want to do it yourself, and make your own money, right? ”

Seeing Wang Mazi nodding involuntarily, Kuang Jingxia sighed leisurely and sighed: "Okay, it's not impossible for me to promise you to contract, but can you guarantee that you will make money?" In other words, can you guarantee that you and that concubine are not blacker than me? (To be continued.) )
