Liu Fulin said: "I can't say that I have been doing it for a few years, this kind of stone was also bought in the past, and it was not very valuable, but it was not as it is now, just a little more expensive than those stones used in construction." After collecting these stones at home, if I can get out of the trough, then I still have hope, if not, I will lose all my money. ”

Mao Dashan said: "Boss Liu, are you interested in buying shares?" ”

Liu Fulin said with a smile: "One of me has no money, and the other of me doesn't dare to take this risk, so forget it." ”

"Then ask Boss Liu to help us keep it secret, okay? If we buy a mine, there are more people who know the way, and it will definitely be expensive to buy again, so our cost will increase a lot. ”

"You and Boss Li are our locals, no matter how rich you are, that's the case, you invest in mining Huanglongyu at this time, and the locals will see it as a joke if they know it, don't say that people are too lazy to pay attention to us, it's just that they know it, and they are still waiting to see that you are so poor as pants."

Mao Dashan said with a smile: "Our boss is rich, and when he buys these things back, he is for apprentices to practice, and the hardness is about the same as jadeite." It's best for people to ignore us, and in the future, we will mine a good yellow dragon jade, and send a few pieces of good material to Boss Liu, maybe there will be a day when the salted fish will turn over. ”

Liu Fulin said: "When we get to the hotel, we don't talk about these things, so as not to make people laugh." ”

When I entered the restaurant, the meal was already on the table. A fried bee pupa and a pork porridge have not been eaten before Wuyang, and although several other dishes have been eaten, the taste is not as good as here. Wuyang didn't eat local food for a long time, and felt sour and sweet. I haven't gotten used to it yet. Several of them thought the dish tasted good. Wuyang went to the car and picked up a bottle of wine. Drinking and chatting, after a meal, they become friends who talk about everything.

After eating, Liu Fulin led the way, and Wuyang drove to the countryside. About 7 or 8 kilometers away from the county seat, Liu Fulin directed the car to turn into a narrow cement road, and after walking for a few minutes, he asked Wuyang to stop.

"Third brother. Third brother, are you at home? Liu Fulin raised his voice and shouted loudly, and said to Wuyang and them: "This person's surname is Mao, his name is Mao San, and his voice is so low that he can't hear it." Mao San is deaf in his 50s, and when he was in his 30s, his wife looked for a short time, so he couldn't continue to live with his son. Now that my son is older, he wants money but no money, and he wants a house without a house. Whose girl will marry him? ”

At this time, a white dog ran out and barked a few times. An old man with white hair came out. "Manager Liu, why do you have time to come over today?"

"Third brother, come and take a look at your stone mountain and see if it's sold."

"Sell, why don't you sell? Such a big ravine is home to our father and son, and we are afraid of ghosts fighting at night. ”

"Third brother, where's my son?"

"I've just come home from digging rocks in the mountains, and I'm eating. Yafei, your Uncle Liu is here, come out and say hello. Manager Liu, you also know that there are no stools at home, so just sit on the stones. ”

A tall and sturdy young man came out, called "Uncle Liu", smiled at a few more people, turned around and prepared to go in again.

"Mao Yafei, uncle has something to tell you. There are a few bosses here who want to buy your stone mountain, are you willing? ”

"What are you buying this place where birds don't?"

"Mining Huanglong Jade."

"Okay. Buy it, sell it clean. Uncle Liu, I don't shout high prices, the bosses bought us a house in the county, and left us a deposit of 1 million, so that we can live, and we are satisfied. ”

Mao Dashan asked, "Is this mountain your family?" ”

"Yes and no. Anyway, it's just our family, and no one in the village cares about us anymore except for the fact that we are asked to vote for village cadres every few years. What is responsible for the field and the mountain, we are all assigned by ourselves. ”

Liu Fulin said: "Yafei, if these bosses mine stones here, will the village find trouble? ”

Mao Yafei thought for a while, "It's hard to say, if you don't have money and no interests now, there will be no trouble, and once you have benefits, everyone wants to plug in a lever." Uncle Liu, there are 3 families in this valley, you should all be familiar with them, we don't want to live here anymore. ”

Wuyang said: "The living environment here looks very bad. ”

Mao Yafei said: "When it rains, there will be flash floods, and if it doesn't rain, there will be drought, and the girls outside the mountains are unwilling to marry inside, and the girls in the mountains are not willing to stay. ”

Liu Fulin said: "Of the three households, one is a five-guarantee household, and the children of both households are working outside, and the family has become an empty nest. ”

Mao Dashan asked: "Are all the mountains here like this?" ”

Mao Yafei said: "Almost." There is a lot of land, mainly because there is no water, crops cannot be grown, and people cannot be fed. So we young people are desperately studying. ”

Lin Zhiping asked, "Why didn't you go to work outside the mountain?" ”

"In the year of the college entrance examination, my father was seriously ill for nearly a year, and the family was in such a situation, if I didn't pick up the burden of the family, my father would have to die."

Mao San was deaf and said: "It's all because I delayed the child." ”

Huang Hai said: "Not participating in the work is not necessarily a bad thing. Mao Yafei sold Shishan, and became rich overnight, went to the county seat to settle down and live a good life. ”

Wuyang said: "Yafei, I see that you are educated, and you are diligent and willing to endure hardships, otherwise this is the case, after these bosses bought Shishan, they still ask you to lead a class to mine and give you a high salary, what do you think?" ”

Mao Yafei said: "I don't have skills, and I don't know how to manage, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the high wages of the bosses." ”

"What's so hard about that? There are people who drive machines, there are people who pay salaries, there are people who manage food, and your task is to match the labor force according to the strength and weakness, arrange the shifts, and then urge everyone to work step by step. It should be noted that one is the safety of workers, the second is that mining cannot deviate from the ore vein, and the third is to deal well with the village and not let them affect production. ”

Mao Yafei said: "Boss, if you really want to buy, you still have to buy it from the village, or even the township and county." If you buy such a stone mountain from them, it is a few thousand yuan per acre. But money must be given to us. Because this is the home we live on. You've mined the stones. We don't have anything, and if I don't have the money, I'm sure I'll fight for my life. It's really a human life, and I'm afraid this stone mountain is not easy to mine. ”

Wuyang said, "Yes, this is how it should be. The bosses mined the stone in order to make a fortune, so they should think about letting the villagers live, otherwise how could they sleep peacefully? We'll split up this afternoon. Boss Liu, you, Uncle Mao, and Brother Mao go to the village or township, anyway, until you find an organ that can have the right to speak, Yafei and I will go to the valley to see where we need to buy, and strive to sign the contract tomorrow. ”

Chen Yuejin said: "I'll also go to the township, I have a comrade-in-arms who works in the county government, but I can't do it, so I ask him for help." ”

Wuyang said: "Boss Chen, there is no need, I will come forward to find the secretary of the municipal party committee." Any problem can be solved. ”

Chen Yuejin said: "It's okay, let's follow Chairman Li." By the way, choose your own mining area. The problem is that we may not have enough funds, and we may become a tiger, which is not easy to do. ”

Mao Dashan said: "You are Xiaoshan's comrades-in-arms, and the funds you need, just look for me." Although I am not the boss, I still have this money. ”

"Then thank you and thank you."

So they went their separate ways, Mao Yafei took a hammer and a chisel, and took a few people from Wuyang to climb the mountain. Wuyang went up the mountain and began to run the true qi to look at the ground, and immediately found Huang Longyu. Whether Huanglongyu is jade or not, there is no way to make a conclusion in Wuyang, but the mountains are full of this kind of stone, which is indeed different from ordinary stones.

After walking for a while, he came to a stone wall, and Wuyang saw that there were extremely fine-grained stones inside, and out of curiosity, he wanted to knock on it to take a look. took the hammer and chisel from Mao Yafei's hand, and after beating for a while, a piece of Huanglongyu of about 1 square meter was displayed in front of him.

It is a very fine yellow stone, with a whitish tinge in yellow and a hint of red. The whole surface is free of cracks and variegation.

Huang Hai said: "No wonder it's called Huanglongyu, it's really the same as jade, better than mid-range jadeite." ”

Mao Yafei said: "It's a pity that I can't afford to sell it, such a large piece of jade, if the thickness is more than 15 centimeters, can open more than 90 large seals, and it can be sold for about 2,700 yuan." ”

Huang Hai said: "Such a good material, can it only be sold for a few thousand yuan?" ”

"Yes, I want people to like it, otherwise no one cares about 20 yuan a stamp material. There is no way, many domestic authorities do not recognize this jade at all. ”

Wuyang said: "In the past, our country thought that Khotanese jade was good, and no one cared about jadeite at all, or Cixi Lafayette liked jadeite, didn't it rise up in the country?" Huanglongyu is not popular now, and experts say that it is not considered jade, it is all a shadowless thing. Yafei, you chisel out this piece of Huanglongyu for me and cut it into stamp material, I will take it to set up a booth at the exhibition in Spring City, mark a sky-high price, the people who ask, the people who know the Tao will definitely increase, it doesn't matter if you sell it or not, anyway, no one can use Huanglongyu as a cabbage in the future. ”

Huang Hai said: "Brother-in-law, this is indeed a good way. In the past, it was raised in the deep boudoir and people didn't know it, but in the future, it will be famous all over the world, and it is strange that the price does not double. In this way, these jade pickers will be truly wealthy. ”

Mao Yafei said: "Boss Huang, I'm afraid that in a short period of time, there will still be no market, and for us, far water will not quench our thirst." Boss Li, is it time to dig rocks or go around the mountains? ”

"Let's go to the mountains, anyway, when you chisel this piece of jade down for me."

A few people continued to walk into the mountain, and the noon sun ran the true qi and looked at the ground, there was no edge of the vein at all, and the whole mountain was full of this kind of stone. After walking for more than an hour and climbing a high mountain, Mao Yafei said: "This is the edge of our village, and further down the mountain, it is the territory of another township." ”

Wuyang asked, "Is it still your county?" ”

"No, it's a territory of Jiangwan County."

Wuyang said: "Then let's talk about it later, and walk along the territory of your village today." ”

"Okay, please come with me. Do you see the highest mountain? There is the border to the west of our village, and to the east, where you have come in from the bend in the road, where the peasants have dug up the yellow dragon jade. The north is also possible along the ridge. ”

Huang Hai said: "Yafei, do you think we can go all over in one afternoon?" ”

"If you just walk the ridge, it won't take you 3 hours, but can you buy it all in such a big place?"

"Let's see what happens. If you want to get your whole village to settle. It probably won't be that big. Mao Dashan said.

Wuyang asked: "Is your village such a geographical environment?" ”

"Pretty much. The good place is that the soil layer on the mountains is thicker, and there is more arable land at the bottom of the valley, but the population density is also larger. There are about 300 people in our whole village, which is not much. ”

Wuyang asked: "Yafei, do you know how many fields and mountains and forests there are in your village?" ”

"I don't know what to do. Village cadres should know the truth. ”

Lin Zhiping said: "Chairman Li, you don't want to buy their entire village, do you?" ”

"It's okay to buy it."

Lin Zhiping smiled: "We don't have that much money to invest. Huanglongyu is the same as jadeite. The problem is that we are buying potential stocks, and we don't know when we will be able to achieve good results, maybe when we are old, or potential stocks. ”

"Lao Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yuejin said: "I have a different idea, since Dashan is willing to lend us money, we are not polite and buy a small ridge or valley with mineral veins. If the price rises, we will be rich. If there is no hope, we have to hand over Huang Longyu to Dashan, our own hundreds of thousands, if we lose, we will lose, anyway, we have a retirement salary, so we won't be unable to eat. Boss Li, is this okay? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Okay, that's it." Brother Hai, what about you? ”

Huang Hai said: "I agree with my brother-in-law's opinion, if you want to buy it, you can buy it all, and whether the price will increase in the future depends on our publicity." If it really doesn't work, it will be regarded as a gambling stone, and if it can rise sharply, I will not lose to my father. Brother-in-law, I think so, after we buy them all, let Boss Lin and Boss Chen choose small ore veins, and you can give me one-third of the rest, the lot is not limited, as long as there are ore veins. ”

A few people chatted while walking, their physical strength was good, and after a few hours of walking, no one was too tired to move. Wuyang took a look and determined that there are mineral veins in the mountains, and the mineral veins in other places are distributed in bands, only the underground of Mao Yafei's house, all of which are made of this kind of stone, are blocked.

Back at Mao Yafei's house, Mao Dashan and Mao San Deaf had already returned, followed by two people, both sitting on the stones and chatting. After saying hello, Mao Dashan introduced the village director and accountant, and the village director said: "Bosses, let me introduce the basic situation of our village, there are 307 people in the village, and now the young and middle-aged labor force is basically working outside, and there are some who are relatively well mixed, so on average, the average income of people is only about 3,000 yuan." ”

Huang Hai smiled: "Many people are averaged, right? ”

The director smiled, "China's national conditions." ”

Wuyang said, "What is your arable land and mountain forest?" ”

"Cultivated land includes paddy fields and dry land, a total of 3,520 acres, now about 1,200 acres of wasteland, in the cultivation, is also widely planted and harvested, the mountain forest area is 12,800 acres, are stone mountains, there are no trees."

"Director, if we want to buy all the forests and cultivated land in your village, will your villagers be willing to emigrate?"

The director said: "Boss Li, to be honest with you, the county has been mobilizing us to migrate for several years, and the main reason in this place is that there is a lack of water and it is not good to grow crops. However, because the county government only promised to build us houses and give us some arable land, the fate of the villagers after emigrating was uncertain, so it was delayed. If you big bosses can give us some money, this place will be vacated for you. ”

Liu Fulin said: "Several bosses, we discussed just now, if you can give 500,000 per capita, the villagers can move tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

The director said: "This number is the lowest number, and it can't be less. Cultivated land and mountains and forests should not be counted separately. The villagers' houses haven't been built yet, and you won't mine so quickly anyway, and if you want to mine, everyone will come and work first. ”

Wuyang said: "Yafei, this number can't meet your requirements." ”

Mao Yafei smiled and said: "Boss Li, my request is just a sky-high asking price, since the director has agreed, I will not make a special request alone." However, I also have one condition, that is, to let the villagers who can work, all come to work in the mine, so that they can earn a few cash. ”

Mao Dashan said: "This is no problem, that is, some women can come to cook rice and boil water." But you've all emigrated, isn't it convenient? ”

The director said: "You leave some houses and do not demolish them, and the villagers let the elderly and children stay at home in the resettlement site, and the young and middle-aged people come to work." ”

Wuyang said: "These houses that can live in people cannot be demolished, and a lot of houses must be built, and the workers work hard, and the food and housing conditions must be improved, which is a cost that cannot be saved." ”

The director said, "Boss Li, do you agree?" ”

Wuyang said, "Yes." But the money can only be given to you in the name of rent, and the land is still your land, and we don't need it after we have mined the stones. Tell me, how long is the lease fixed? ”

The director said: "What does Boss Li mean, how many years do you pay the rent?" I know that you are worried that after the payment, we will regret it, and when the mine will not be opened, the money will be sent out again and we will not be able to recover it. So let's pay each of you 100,000 for the first time, and pay the rest over 10 years. After the payment is paid, I promise that you will mine for another 20 years, and I will not know what will happen in the future. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "The director is in his 30s, and it is common for people to live 8 or 90 years old now, so it should be possible to ensure that we will mine for 50 years, besides, the successor in the future will definitely have to go through the director's nod, can I not listen to you?" ”

The director said, "It's hard to say. Now the village is poor, the village cadres don't have any oil and water, it doesn't matter if it's not, if you get rich in the future, our juniors will have a high level of education, and they will definitely fight hard, so you must mine it as quickly as possible. I think it's better to set it for 30 years. ”

Wuyang said: "Okay, that's it." Brother Hai, you, Boss Lin, Boss Chen, and Boss Liu, draft the contract with the director and accountant, and I will discuss something with Brother Mao. ”

He Mao Dashan walked to the side and told Huang Hai, Lin Zhiping, and Chen Yuejin about the situation, "Brother Mao, do you want one-third of the total amount yourself?" ”

Mao Dashan said: "I don't want it, I am originally a person of the company, I am doing things for the company, and the company will not treat me badly if the mine is opened." Besides, I already have money, and my wife and children can't spend it in a few lifetimes, so I don't necessarily have to earn too much. ”

"Okay, whatever you want. Have you been in touch with Brother Xiaoshan recently? ”

"That is, just make a phone call, our parents are gone, their husband and wife are in the same place, there is no family leave, there is no time to come out, and I am too busy to win, so I have not passed."

"Brother Xiaoshan's elevator company is now very good, with a profit share of more than 100 million yuan per year for the past two years, and his total assets are 900 million."

Mao Dashan said: "You arranged for people to operate, and I thank you on behalf of Xiaoshan Xie Lu." Xiaoshan is now focused on his work, and he wants to get a general to do it. But now he is still a full-time cadre, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the general. (To be continued......)
