Chapter 198: Emerald Mining Area
readx;??? Tongcheng Mining is not bad for money, so the six people almost wrapped the business class, Wu Di remembered the experience of going to Milan, especially palpitating, grabbed a flight attendant and asked:
"Excuse me, how long will it take to get to Myitkyina?"
"Three hours and forty-six minutes, sir. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Oh, that's fine, thank you."
Song Hongyan glanced at Wu Di and said with a smile:
"What, not used to long-haul flights?"
Wu Di shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"It's okay, mainly because I'm not used to the food on the plane."
"It's good to go to Myanmar, there are a lot of Chinese restaurants there, and the local food is mainly rice and curry, and their taste is sour, spicy, light, not greasy, similar to the taste of Shu Province in China, and the general table requires chili oil. Hey, the fruit there, it's super delicious! ”
Song Hongyan looked drooling.
Wu Di's eyes lit up, but then he looked at his claws, flexed and stretched them a few times, and asked:
"I heard that they all use their hands to eat rice over there? Is there soup there? ”
"Hehe, Xiao Wu also has times of difficulty! It's true that the rice is hand-caught, but you can use a spoon. Of course, the soup is also made with a spoon, and people are not stupid. By the way, you don't touch the top of the child's head over there, they think the top of the head is a noble place, and the child can't do it......"
Wu Di looked at his hands and touched the top of the child's head? And then go to the pilaf? He shivered, but luckily, the robot cat reminded me to bring a pair of travel chopsticks......
More than three hours is not long, but it is not short, and it is not very sad to talk about sleep along the way. When the plane landed, it was almost dusk, and Wu Di's first impression was that the sunset here was so beautiful, it seemed that it was the smoke reflected by the jewels, smart and ethereal.
The person who picked up the airport drove the car directly into the tarmac, and a fat man with a particularly big belly stood next to the spiral ladder, as soon as Hua Wuyang got out of the cabin door, he saw him, waved his hand lazily, and the fat man opened his mouth and replied with a silent laugh like Zhu Bajie, and let him go to the side.
"This is the manager of our Myitkyina branch, this is Professor Mao, Professor Ning......"
While introducing the two parties, Hua Wuyang patted the fat man's stomach from time to time, and it could be seen that the two had a good personal relationship.
"Don't look at this kid who is fat, he can run more than me! This time back to the mines, you can rely on him. There is no mine in the entire Kachin State that does not give him face! ”
"Hehe, the fat man has a big face, the fat man has a big face......"
Ding Keming pretended to be frightened and kept wiping his sweat, but anyone could see the smile in his eyes, Wu Di and Song Hongyan glanced at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, such an interesting person, presumably the itinerary arranged will not be too boring, right?
The Chinese restaurants in Myanmar are much better than those in Milan, they may be closer to China, and the ingredients are more authentic. couldn't help but eat two more bites, and when Ding Keming saw it, he made a big round gesture towards him, and then patted his stomach, his face full of grievances.
Wu Di couldn't help laughing and said:
"Brother Ding's stomach is not eaten, but drunk, right?"
The fat man made an action that no one could have imagined, holding his cheek with one hand, looking like a young girl, looking at Hua Wuyang, and said with resentment:
"At this age, my body is no longer good......
At this time, even Professor Mao laughed, Hua Wuyang had goosebumps all over his body, and said helplessly:
"Okay, don't look like a resentful woman, haven't you just been here for five years? Thought I didn't know that you kid often secretly went to Yunnan Province? Do a good job in this reception task, everyone will give you a five-star evaluation, and I will let you return to China! ”
Professor Ning laughed,
"This time, we have to take a good look at the checks and enjoy the five-star treatment!"
The five-star treatment came, and the fat man picked up a large glass of national liquor Moutai and drank one with him.
Because Myitkyina is close to the mining area and the capital of Kachin State, there are many jade merchants who come and go, and there are still five-star hotels, so Wu Di and the robot cat are divided into a large suite. As soon as he entered the room, the robot cat began to be busy, took out a small thing, under the bed, telephone, cabinet, and checked all places.
"We are not an important task, is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"Fifth brother, I'm afraid it's really a little wrong this time."
"Oh? What did you find? ”
"During the meal, did you notice the middle-aged man sitting next to Ding Keming?"
"You say the Burmese who is almost the same as the Chinese? Isn't it the assistant manager of the office? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, his real identity is probably Yebo Tenmyint, the stealth assistant to U Aung Kyi, the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Zhèngfu Army, who cooperated with us in a covert operation three years ago. I've seen him once from afar. ”
"Then most of him has changed jobs, Tongcheng is foreign-funded, and the treatment is good......"
The robot cat smiled bitterly:
"Fifth brother, you don't know, it's impossible for people in that position to change jobs, if it's really what I guessed, this copper city mining is not simple."
Wu Di frowned and thought for a while, and said:
"Met from afar three years ago? Could you be mistaken? ”
"People like us have received special training, and those who want to remember are generally unlikely to forget."
Wu Di didn't speak, the military? What are the intentions of the military people to sneak in? Does the copper city know about it? Would you like to remind them?
"Fifth brother, do you want to ask Mr. Song? See if he knows something? ”
"Oh, if he knew, he would have said it a long time ago. Forget it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, pay attention to it these days, see the reaction of the Tongcheng side, if you don't know, see if you remind them, if you know, don't do anything to us. Sleep, I heard that the road to Hpakant tomorrow is not easy. ”
Early the next morning, Ding Keming came to the hotel to pick them up, and as soon as they left the hall, Wu Di was startled, and two trucks full of loaded Burmese soldiers stopped at the door of the hotel!
Ding Keming smiled:
"You are all distinguished guests, although it is the truce now, but I am afraid that there are some thieves who are not long-sighted, so I simply borrowed some people and felt more at ease on the road."
Wu Di glanced at the robot cat, this copper city is only afraid that it really has some secret deals with the Burmese military, otherwise how can this soldier be transferred casually?
Hua Wuyang stayed in the office, he still had a lot of things to deal with, Ding Keming accompanied Wu Di and Professor Mao, a group of six people, escorted by military vehicles, towards Lung Kham, the headquarters of the Myanmar state-owned gem company, which is very close to the Hpakant mining area.
"Let's go to Lunken first, visit the state-owned gem company in Myanmar, and the two professors will also look up some information. Then go to the mining area, and finally go to Menggong to visit the beneficiation, how do you see the itinerary? ”
"We hope that the Myanmar side can provide some ore samples as much as possible, and it is best to show us a few more mining areas with relatively large differences and representative characteristics."
Professor Mao once again emphasized the purpose of his trip.
"There are three main jade mines of Myanmar's state-owned gem company, all of which are primary mines, concentrated in Dumao, northwest of Lunken. There are two placer mines, namely the Hpakant field area and the Huika field area in the lower reaches of the Wulu River. This area is about 500 square kilometers in size, and there are many fields and mouths, both primary and secondary mining areas, which will definitely meet the requirements of several people. ”
Myanmar's jadeite mining area runs through the Uyu River basin, sandwiched between the Gaoligong Mountains and the Bagai Bang Mountains, with a length of 70 kilometers from north to south and a width of 20 kilometers from east to west, covering an area of 1,400 square kilometers.
The mining area can be divided into 3 mining belts from north to south, the northwesternmost is the Houjiang-Leida mining belt, and the middle is the Hpakant and Huika mining areas introduced by Ding Keming, which is Hpakant in the north, Huika in the south, and extends to Dumao in the west. The southernmost mining area is not connected with the main mining area, becoming the Nanqi field area, close to Mengyang, the area is relatively small, and the output is relatively small.
Myanmar's state-owned gemstone enterprise is headquartered in Lonkin, only about 10 kilometers away from the Hpakant field, with more and more businessmen purchasing jadeite in the mining area, the urbanization construction of Hpakant is becoming more and more perfect, and gradually formed a ten-mile long street from Lonkin to Hpakant, known as Little Hong Kong.
However, Ronken is a bit far from Myitkyina, a full 170 kilometers, and judging by the road conditions in Myanmar and the means of transport they take, it is impossible to reach it in four or five hours.
"The sediments containing jadeite ore belong to the alluvial gravel layer of the Tertiary and modern rivers, deposited in the wide channel of the drainage system of the serpentine hills, so it is only right for us to come here now that the jadeite ore is mined mainly in the dry season of Myanmar, that is, from October to May of the following year."
Professor Ning looked at the weather outside the window and said with a smile.
"When you arrive, you will know, the road to Hpakant here is not bad, if you really want to go deep into the mining area, you just need to get to what is difficult to travel, it is difficult to go to the blue sky."
Ding Keming smiled bitterly and said that people who have not been to the mining area will not know that it is a nightmare for modern transportation.
"Since jadeite is produced, the road should be built first, otherwise how can the rough stone be transported out?"
Wu Di still has a bit of an advanced concept, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this kind of slogan is everywhere in the countryside of China, even children know it.
"Hehe, you'll know when you get there."
Ding Keming sold a pass, anyway, he couldn't tell for a while.
"I've heard that there is almost no output in the old field, right?"
Song Hongyan interjected and asked.
"No, because jadeite is a sedimentary mine, divided into layers, one layer is dug and there is another layer, so the output is still a lot. Now the price of jadeite in China is rising step by step, one is that Myanmar zhèngfu does intend to control the production of jadeite, but I am afraid that the so-called few people are reluctant to sell and raise the price is the main reason. ”
Ding Keming is also very familiar with the situation in China.
"That's right, the deepest part of the old field has now been mined to the fifth layer, generally speaking, the first layer is yellow sandskin, the second layer is yellow and red sandskin, and wax skin, the third layer is black sandskin, the fourth layer is gray black sandskin, and the fifth layer is white and yellow sandskin, most of which have wax skin. Now there are few people who can understand the situation of the mining area, but they feel that there are fewer and fewer common wool materials in the past, so they think that the mine is almost finished, and some people are misleading, so the current situation has been formed. ”
Professor Mao joined the discussion, worthy of being a professor, and what he said was professional. (To be continued.) )
