Chapter 7: The Gold Mine (I)
I refueled at the edge of the county seat and went out of the city, and pointed the way to the pair sitting in the passenger seat. The road is very wide, but there are many potholes, but fortunately, there are few cars, and the afternoon sun was familiar with the car condition yesterday, and it was quite like a thing. A few people talked and laughed, and walked dozens of miles easily.
Sitting in the back row, both hands were on the back of Wuyang's seat, and with the top of the car, they were a little dishonest, first their arms deliberately rubbed their backs and necks, and then they pinched their earlobes and touched their beards, which made Wuyang itch, and it was not good to lose their temper with other little girls, just laughing. I remembered that I used to do this to my father and uncle when I was a child.
After a while, the pair turned around and noticed the situation, and quickly climbed to the back. She was bolder, but when she saw that her sister was not afraid, she was even more bold, she squeezed into the position, hugged Wuyang and kissed her a few times, and both of them did not show weakness, and squeezed over a few times. "Hey, little sister, this car can't be driven yet!" Li Wuyang was distracted by the two girls. The two stopped moving, and started chatting again, first of all: "Brother Yangyang, do you know why we came to you early in the morning?" ”
said to Xiaoxiao: "It was Uncle who called and said that he had found a good young man and wanted to introduce him to us, and he would make friends if he saw him." ”
"How old are you!" The afternoon sun "sweated".
Shuangshuang: "We are not young, the eldest sister of the uncle's family got married at the age of seventeen!" ”
Yes, yes: "It's better to strike first, it's late and the cabbage is arched by the pig." ”
Li Wuyang was completely dizzy. Looks like they're supposed to be good cabbages.
"You've just been admitted to university, so it's important to study!"
"Brother Yangyang, you don't know, the most important thing for the female baby of the Tujia family is to marry a good man, and the identity of a college student and a college diploma are just the same as the dowry." Shuangshuang said seriously. This made Wuyang completely speechless.
The Lion Rock Haidi is more than 1,500 meters higher than the county seat, and the car has been climbing, although sometimes it is downhill, but then it will be a longer and steeper slope, the road is worse, the potholes are bigger, and the afternoon sun has been replaced by four-wheel drive. Suddenly, I saw a car parked in the middle of the road, and a person on one side of the car was stopping the car and trapped. When I stopped in the afternoon, I saw that the license plate that was half in the muddy water was actually from Lujiang City.
"Fellow, I want you to help!" The driver approached and handed him a cigarette. Wuyang shook his hand, "Let's figure it out together."
Seeing that this is the recess of two mountains, it is estimated that the roadbed is filled in, and due to poor drainage, the entire road surface has become a large pothole, and it is no wonder that it will sink into it. Wuyang squatted to the front license plate, wanting to touch the hook, but all of them were blocked by the stones, and there was no way. It seems that the only way to do this is to drag the car out of the pit from behind, and then turn around and drag it over. I told the driver about the idea, and he agreed.
Let Shuangshuang and pair get out of the car, rush through the big hole with refueling, align the butt of the car with the butt of the Audi A6, and drag out the wire rope from his own car. Liu Bingqiu is a driver trained by the army, and he has all the tools and everything, if a rookie like Li Wuyang doesn't know anything except barely being able to drive, he won't be able to use it today.
As soon as I touched the Audi car, the hanging ditch behind was a circle made of small steel bars, and I didn't know if it was good or not, Li Wuyang locked it with a wire rope.
When the driver got out of the car, his trousers were pulled high, and when he saw Li Wuyang trying to pull his strength, he quickly climbed into the car. Wuyang slowly dragged the car out of the distance, took out the steel rope, then reversed and parked, connected the wire and dragged it again, smoothly dragged through the pit, collected the wire rope and prepared to leave. The middle-aged man who was chatting with Shuangshuang and the pair just now walked over, wearing half-black-framed glasses, and looked polite and graceful. "Young man, thank you!" His right hand reached into the car and patted Wuyang on the shoulder.
"Uncle, you're welcome, everyone has times when things don't go well. By the way, there are a lot of potholes when I just came over, I'll leave you a phone number in case something happens! ”
At this time, the middle-aged man took out his business card and handed it over, Li Wuyang took it and looked at it, with three lines of words on it:
Lujiang High-tech Technology Development Zone
He Shulin
Contact number: 139********
Li Wuyang dialed out, and music sounded in Uncle He's pocket. Uncle He looked at the number and hung up. "I know that your name is Li Wuyang, what the little girl said, you have time to contact more." At this time, Shuangshuang and the pair had already gotten into the car, and when they saw the driver coming over with a wad of money, they even said "don't, don't", and quickly drove away.
This time it was delayed for about 40 minutes, and Wuyang asked how far it was, but the two girls did not say anything. I asked again, but no one answered, forget it, it's rare to be quiet, keep moving forward!
All the way uphill, the peaks in front and on both sides are cloudy, the more you go up, the more you go through the clouds, sometimes light and sometimes thick white fog flows from both sides of the windshield, it is really like entering a fairyland. If it weren't for the rows of tall trees on the side of the road, and the bottomless cliffs, the afternoon sun would be intoxicating.
Crossing the high mountain downhill from the recess of a mountain, there is a river forty or fifty meters wide in front of it, the water is clear and turbulent, and the afternoon sun cannot tell whether it is the upper reaches of the Yuan River or the Li River. The highway stretched out parallel to the river and went downstream, and after walking for two or three kilometers, he suddenly said to the pair: "Xiang Lu, this is the gold mine where we are going." ”
When talking to the couplet, the vehicle is facing an intersection. Wuyang stopped and looked at the terrain: directly ahead was an extension of the road, pointing deeper into the mountain, which could be seen from the consistent potholes of the road; On the left is a wide cement platform that sticks out 20 to 30 meters into the river close to the roadside, on which many iron pipe supports stand, Li Wuyang is estimated to be the location of the gold panning; On either side of the road, there were several thick cement pillars, on which were the rails on which the bucket trucks were running, and at one end of the railroad tracks led to the gold mine they were going to.
Wuyang drove to the right, and saw a wide valley, walked about a kilometer along the valley, and saw the wooden houses on both sides of the road, connected together, more than 100 meters, heard the sound of the car, and there were people in the house looking at the door. At the end of the long wooden house are two separate log houses, where the opposite conductor parked.
Someone came out of both wooden houses. A few men came out on the right, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old came out on the left, followed by a tall girl, both pairs and pairs greeted each other, several people greeted each other, and the boy came to talk to Wuyang, not recognizing life at all. After a while, Wuyang knew that his name was Tan Zhuhai, twelve years old, and he was going to study tomorrow and read the first year of junior high school; My sister's name is Tan Zhuqing, six years older than him, and she will go to college in a few days, and she is affectionately called Brother Wu. The three girls chatted for a while, and then went to the wooden house on the right to find their father. Zhuhai introduced Wuyang to his sister.
After saying "hello" to each other, Zhuqing smiled again: "I'm sorry to trouble you to come over and pick it up!" ”
"It's my honor to serve the little beauty." Listening to Wuyang's witty words, Zhu Qing blushed and looked away. Wuyang just looked at the slim girl in front of her: tall, Wuyang is estimated to be about 1.70 meters, slender, even very thin, maybe 90 pounds, wearing a light green dress, white skin, slender arms, slender calves, goose egg-shaped face is the fullest place in the body, a pair of big eyes, long eyelashes, moderate shade of eyebrows, hair tied into a ponytail, quiet, delicate.
"Brother Li, let's sit in the house!" Zhuqing beckoned Wuyang to come into the house and sit down, making tea. At this time, Shuangshuang and the pair also came in, and Zhuqing served them tea again. The two of them did not sit down, but took the tea and put it on the table. Said to the pair: "Zhuqing, take us to the mine to have a look!" ”
"Nothing to see!" Zhu Qing said lightly. At this time, Wuyang had stood up, and Zhu Qing saw that they all wanted to go, so he turned around and took a flashlight and went out with a few people.
When I went out, I saw a few people standing at the door of another wooden house, and they both said: "Brother Yangyang, the tallest one is our father, named Li Yaowu, who is the deputy county magistrate of this county, and the older one is Zhuqing's father." Shall I take you to get acquainted? ”
"It's going to pass."
When he arrived, Wuyang took the initiative to greet him: "County Magistrate Li, Boss Tan, hello." Today, the county magistrate's daughter asked me to go up the mountain to Sister Boss Tan's daughter, and provided me with the opportunity to meet you, I'm very happy. ”
Boss Tan didn't say anything, and County Magistrate Li shook hands with Wuyang. "I'm glad to meet you, young man, too. My daughter has a crush on you, what do you say? ”
"County Magistrate Li, I painted their faces, I don't know it, I already have a girlfriend in my hometown, please understand."
Li Yaowu said: "This is the trouble. But it's a troublesome thing, both of them and the pair have taken a fancy to you, and they can't all marry you. Boss Tan is already a headache here, so I won't think about your business for the time being. Boy, you go play with the kids. ”
"Okay, you're busy with yours, let's go to the gold mines."
Along the way, Zhuqing introduced them to the gold mine: several mines were opened in the vicinity a few years earlier, all of them produced gold, and the boss made a fortune. A boss Tang from other places brought a gentleman who can look for mines to come here, took a fancy to this mountain, and said that there was also gold here, so he asked the county government to spend 2 million yuan to buy this mountain to open a mine.
Considering that it would be a little troublesome for outsiders to open a mine, he found Tan Zhuqing's father, Tan Ren'an, who was a well-known and wealthy person in the local area, and he could also live in the town. The two negotiated and reached an agreement, Boss Tang invested 9 million to account for 75% of the shares, and Tan Renan invested 3 million to account for 25% of the shares.
From last year's Spring Festival to recruit workers and buy equipment to start work, to February and March this year, the money was spent, but not a single gram of gold was found. Boss Tang still has to make additional investments to continue digging, but Tan Ren'an has already borrowed millions, and now this result is unsustainable. At that time, the two still let the workers go to work, and when they didn't even have the money to buy grain and vegetables a few days earlier, Boss Tang wrote an equity transfer agreement, saying that the mine and debts were all owned by Tan Ren'an, and he left cleanly, and everything in the future had nothing to do with him.
Tan Ren'an didn't sign, and Boss Tang threatened his children to force him to sign, and drove away with his bodyguards overnight. Tan Ren'an looked at the debt of nearly 3 million yuan and an abandoned mine, and wanted to cry without tears. The next day, he went to several bosses of the neighboring gold mine to transfer the money, but the result was that some of them did not want to give it for nothing, and one was willing to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in electricity bills, and the more than 2 million wages owed were exempted.
Tan Ren'an had no choice but to report to the county government, and yesterday Deputy County Magistrate Li brought personnel from the Public Security Bureau and other departments up the mountain, and the workers did not make trouble, but only asked for money, and in the evening County Magistrate Li and they wanted to go back to the city, and the workers crowded into the cars and blocked the road, so that they could not walk, and they could not talk about it until now. "Alas, I'm afraid that my brother and I will be delayed in studying!"
Tan Zhuqing is so worried! Who said that teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow, and they are worried about giving new words? Li Wuyang sighed.
A few men reached the mouth of the mine, which was a cave that opened on a slope, and the slope of the hill continued to descend slowly, and the foot of the hill reached a stream in the valley, and above the mouth of the cave became steeper and steeper, reaching into the clouds. The height and width of the mine are about three meters each, and there are two bucket truck tracks laid at the bottom, and dozens of bucket trucks are parked on each track. The electric light in the cave was not on, and several people walked in under the guidance of Tan Zhuqing with a flashlight, and walked more than 300 meters to the end. Tan Zhuqing said: "That's it." "Just go back.
Li Wuyang wanted to try his skills, so he stopped, and carried up his true qi, the cave suddenly became clear, looking towards the cave wall, it was black, looking towards the end of the cave, the top section was also black, but the lower part could see that there were some things with different colors from the stone in the black, and his heart was suddenly happy, could it be gold and silver? Due to lack of experience, I don't know if it's real money, or how thick the stone is.
Hearing a few people telling him to go quickly, he hurriedly agreed to go out, and did not forget to run the true qi to look around while walking, other places are still black stones, but the bottom of the cave is easy to see those things that are not the same color as the stone, all the way out of the hole, until I see the bottom of the slope, these things have not been broken, and there seem to be more than ten meters high.
The three girls walked back out of the cave, and Wuyang walked to the side of the road again, and found a few big bare rocks to look at, which were all black, and his heart was more determined to think that what he had just found was a gold mine. took out his mobile phone to call Liu Bingqiu, and asked him to let his grandfather answer after he got through, and told him about the situation of the gold mine and his own discovery, but the old man was convinced of his ability and discovery, and just asked him about the size and density of the different colored things, and Wuyang told him the truth.
Grandpa said: The gold content of this mine is not high, it is not cost-effective to pan for gold and refine it yourself, and it contains a variety of metals, if you send the ore to the national large-scale smelter, it will not cause waste, which is a win-win situation. You wait and then find a way to enter the cave alone, take the true qi for a few more weeks, run to the best state and look into the depths of the vein belt, if you find a high density or a place of different colors of the big guys, sign the contract today, I will rush back to the county in the afternoon to inform the bank to prepare cash, and tomorrow I will take the money and send it up the mountain.
Wuyang saw that the three girls had returned to the house, and there was no one else around, so he hurriedly returned to the cave. Luck while walking, and luck at the end for half an hour, only to reach the best state, look into the stones, through the different colored areas, but also see different stones of watermelon seed-sized particles, and fist-sized ones, and then see the size of a dog's head, the bigger the size, the more sparsely distributed, and then look at the dizziness. So he reined in his true qi and hurried out of the hole, but he didn't care about the veins under his feet. On the way back to the house, I made another phone call and told my grandfather that it was done.
When he went back to the house and sat down, Zhu Qing handed the tea again, but the pair did not stick up, but this question was: Is the scenery beautiful? The other asked: Are you tired? Wuyang smiled and answered them one by one.
After sitting for a while, Zhuqing's mother came out with two bowls of vegetables, one on each table. Li Wuyang only saw her at this time, and after listening to Zhuhai's introduction, she hurriedly stood up and called Auntie, Tan's mother smiled and said: "Xiao Li is here for the first time, there is really nothing to entertain, and I am embarrassed to have coarse tea and light rice." ”
Wuyang said: "You're welcome." Mother Tan turned around and went to the kitchen again. Mother Tan is very similar to Zhuqing, but she is a little shorter and plump, not seeing that her daughter is so old, she really doesn't dare to assert that she is more than 30 or 40 years old.
The dish was a boiled pumpkin, a stir-fried wild vegetables, and no oil was put in, Li Wuyang could see that they had indeed reached the point of "green mountains and beautiful waters". Wuyang and Tan Mu, Zhu Qing, Zhu Hai, and Shuangshuang are at the same table, Tan Ren'an, Li Yaowu, and several people in the county are at the same table.
When the dishes were served, a few of them were called over, and Wuyang looked at them seriously. Tan Ren'an is of medium height, in his 40s, with messy hair, a scruffy beard, and a haggard face; Li Yaowu is more than 1.8 meters tall, tall and slightly thin, with an elegant temperament in his majesty. Compared with his brother Li Yaowen, he should really change his name.
There are not many dishes, Zhu Qing sandwiched a piece of pumpkin to Wuyang, and gave him wild vegetables in pairs, and several elders secretly glanced at him, which made him embarrassed.
After the meal, a few elders muttered for a while, called Wuyang aside, and County Magistrate Li said: "Xiao Li, I think a few of them are very compatible with you, and a few of us also like you very much, why don't you worship as brothers and sisters, and come and go often in the future, what do you think?" ”
It's the middle of the day. Lujiang has a Wang Xiaohui waiting for him to marry, there are passionate pairs here, and there is a silent Tan Zhuqing, fools know the depth of their affection. It is estimated that several elders have also seen this problem, and it will be an embarrassing situation for who to marry and who to give up. With this sworn worship, all problems are solved. Now what they know is their appearance, figure and identity of just graduating from college and doing business, and they don't know their martial arts and abilities, this is a true feeling!
So he immediately made a circle, "Uncle Li, Uncle Tan, Auntie, as long as a few sisters are willing, I will be your son from today onwards!" In the future, I will work with my sister to give you filial piety. "A few people approached, patted on the shoulder, held hands, and praised him for being a good boy.
Uncle Tan and Uncle Li went to look for their daughter, and Aunt Tan started a family affair with Wuyang. Basically, Aunt Tan asked, Wuyang answered, and talked about her own affairs and family affairs. At this time, Zhuhai came to him to catch fish in the creek and followed. When you come to the stream, you can see the fish swimming in the clear water, the small one is an inch long, and the big one is long, but the shallow place is fast, and the water depth cannot go down, and it gets soaked, and still finds nothing, so I have to return in a huff.
The two went back to the house to bask in the sun, Wuyang didn't change his clothes, so he had to stand in the sun and dry it, but fortunately, the temperature was not too high in the mountains, and Zhuhai talked with him.
At this time, Uncle Tan and Uncle Li came over, and Uncle Li said, "Wuyang, it seems that the work has to be done slowly." ”
Seeing Wuyang's puzzled eyes, Uncle Tan explained: "The customs and habits in this area, as long as you burn incense and worship your brother and sister or sister and brother, you can only do this in this life, so ......"
Wuyang said: "Uncle Tan, Uncle Li, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, I have only known them for half a day, and they are still young, and no one can say for sure." The afternoon sun comforted them.
"Alas...," Li Yaowu let out a long sigh.
"Let it be! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, County Magistrate Li, don't sigh. After this setback, Tan Ren'an is more open-minded.
"Uncle Tan, Uncle Li, I want to inquire about the gold mine, can you tell me about it?"
"Anyway, it's bad luck to tell you." Tan Ren'an talked about 1510, except that it was more detailed than Zhuqing's, it was roughly the same.
"Two uncles, if I come to take over the affairs of the mine, I don't know how to handle it."
"No, it's a waste mine. I don't even know how to do it right now. Tan Ren'an hurriedly said. When Wuyang listened, he admired his character and thanked him for his concern for him.
"Xiao Li, let's analyze and analyze first, and then you will consider whether to accept or not." Li Yaowu said slowly: "Although more than 10 million yuan has been invested in this mine so far, most of it has been consumed, and the only useful ones are the two million in the county, as well as the bucket car rails, if the gold can be mined, then these are also worth 220,000 or 300,000 yuan, if they can't be mined, they can only sell a pile of scrap iron." In addition, it will cost three million as soon as it is taken over, and it cannot include the money to start construction, which is not a small amount. There is also the need to recruit management personnel and workers, so that the delay will cost a lot of money, and the start of construction is also far away. It's easy to say everything when you get gold in the future, otherwise how much money are you going to spend to fill this bottomless pit? ”
Wuyang felt that what he said made some sense, but it was only based on the fact that he couldn't mine gold, but isn't it easy to say that he can find gold? "Uncle Li, Uncle Tan, I know that you care about me, and I am deeply grateful. Now that I have the determination and confidence to take over, I would like to ask you to support me. Today, while Uncle Li and the county leaders were there, they signed the transfer agreement and asked Uncle Li to testify. ”
