Chapter 143: Picking Wool in the Mine
After getting off the plane, Mao Xiaoshan was already waiting for them at the exit of the airport. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he drove a Humvee with a local license plate. Wuyang stepped forward to have a bear hug with him, and the two of them laughed, making the people next to them inexplicable. "Brother Mao, this time I must meet Camp Commander Tan and give him what I had last time." Wuyang said.
"Brother, I advise you not to look for trouble. The bracelet you gave to his mother and wife last time caused them to quarrel, and if it wasn't for his father, it would definitely not have ended. Now he is our deputy head of regiment. He also promoted me to be the deputy battalion commander, and I didn't dare to touch what you gave me. Mao Xiaoshan said.
"Brother Mao, in order to congratulate you on your ascension, should we find a good restaurant for a meal." Wuyang said with a smile.
"Meals always have to be eaten, we will deal with it casually at noon, and in the evening when we arrive at the last restaurant, we will have a good meal, and we can drink with peace of mind when we go over there." Xiao Li, is this beautiful girl your wife? ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "I want her to be my wife, but unfortunately people don't do it, she is now the general manager of our company's financial information department, Guo Jia, Manager Guo; This is the director of our company's gold jadeite processing factory, Zhang Yibo. You two get to know each other, this is the Mao Company Commander I told you before, and now he is already the deputy battalion commander. Last time I was in Myanmar, I relied on him to help,"
Zhang Yibo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mao Xiaoshan, "Brother Mao is good." ”
Guo Jia also shook hands with Mao Xiaoshan, "Battalion Chief Mao, Xie Lu thank you for helping our boss." Camp Chief Mao, where does my sister-in-law work, and how old is the child? ”
Mao Xiaoshan's bronzed face turned a little red. Wuyang hurriedly said: "Brother Mao graduated from the military academy. He devoted himself to the building of the troops. He is still an unmarried young man. Manager Guo. If there are any beautiful classmates, who love border guards, introduce to Brother Mao. The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, and the families of the battalion cadres can accompany the army. ”
"Okay, I'll ask someday." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Xiao Li, don't be kidding, I've already found a partner, the girl is a doctor in the military hospital." Mao Xiaoshan said with a smile. Appears to be quite satisfied with the subject.
"When is there a wedding drink?" Wuyang said.
"You can drink whenever you want. But seriously, I have to wait until my eldest brother gets married. Mao Xiaoshan said.
I found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and set off for dinner. Mao Xiaoshan drove, Zhang Yibo sat in the passenger seat, and Wuyang and Guo Jia sat in the back row. After not speaking for a while, Guo Jia fell asleep on Wuyang's shoulder, and soon fell into Wuyang's arms. Zhang Yibo realized it immediately and stopped looking back.
Get off the highway. The vehicle did not enter the city, but drove directly to the border. The road began to bump. Guo Jia is fortunate to have the protection of the afternoon sun. I finally didn't vomit badly. When he arrived in the town, Mao Xiaoshan drove the car into the hotel last time. This time, the owner of the restaurant prepared a sumptuous meal for them. Mao Xiaoshan asked for two bottles of wine, and when he met Zhang Yibo, who was also a drinker, without too much humility, the three men drank the two bottles of wine.
Wuyang saw that Guo Jia basically didn't eat, and persuaded her, she said that she couldn't eat, so Wuyang asked the restaurant to prepare a roast chicken, some rice and chili, and mineral water in the car, so that's all.
Mao Xiaoshan changed into his military uniform at the hotel and was about to drive off. Wuyang said: "Brother Mao, you drive for a day, I will drive for two hours, and you will continue to drive in the evening." ”
Mao Xiaoshan didn't give in too much, so he let the afternoon sun open. Wuyang because of the once, although the road conditions are not very familiar, but the driving is basically okay. At nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, Mao Xiaoshan woke up and continued to drive.
Wuyang sat in the back row again, and saw that Guo Jia was a little weak, so he pressed his fingers against her Baihui acupoint, and entered true qi, Guo Jia gradually felt better, and his stomach was hungry. Wuyang found the roast chicken, rice and chili peppers, and Guo Jia grabbed them with his hands and ate them. After eating, Guo Jia became a little dishonest, first of all, she desperately rubbed on Wuyang, and when Wuyang saw that it was on such an occasion, he pretended to sleep and ignored her.
Although the road was uneven, the bumps were bearable when sitting in the Humvee, and the three people who did not drive gradually fell asleep.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the vehicle arrived in the town, and Mao Xiaoshan arranged to rest and go to Boss Chen's mine tomorrow morning.
There are 4 people in one room, and it didn't take long for Guo Jia to enter Wuyang's room. Wuyang had just taken a shower, and she wrapped a bath towel around her body to open the door for her. Then the two hugged each other. Wuyang has not gone to Guo Jia during this time, and Guo Jia can be regarded as a long-term drought and nectar. It wasn't until Mao Xiaoshan knocked on the door outside and talked about getting up for breakfast.
Boss Chen still entertains a few people in his small western-style mansion, and still makes kung fu tea. Boss Chen said, "Boss Li, how much wool are you going to buy this time?" ”
Wuyang said: "I listened to your instructions, raised some more money, and bought more if I fancied." ”
Boss Chen said: "Today is only the 13th, we still go by helicopter, and the conference starts on the 25th, and we will go on the 24th." This way you have plenty of time to pick out the wool. ”
Wuyang said: "Boss Chen, I may need a day to go to Brother Mao's mine to have a look, and it will only take 10 hours to fill up." ”
Boss Chen said: "In addition to me this time, I also contacted 4 bosses for you, which is the 5 giants here." The mining boss of the big piece of wool you bought last time was also among them. It doesn't matter if you actually go to Mao Dashan to see it, he didn't pick any jadeite there, if you really don't feel at ease, just call him over. ”
Wuyang smiled, thinking that Mao Dashan was still relatively well hidden, and even Boss Chen, who was close at hand, didn't know that he had mined jadeite, and his results were extraordinary. It is estimated that Boss Chen's intelligence is that Mao Dashan's pure jadeite is used as wool, so there is not much. "Boss Chen, I'll just listen to your arrangement. If I really can't choose, I'll wait for the jade market to come back later. ”
Boss Chen said with a smile: "That's not good, after the public market meeting, we still have to stay in Yangon, settle the payment, discuss the next public market and many other matters, it is impossible to come back to accompany you." It's best to wait until next time. ”
Wuyang said: "Let's hurry up and choose wool now." Boss Chen. If I pick more wool. Will it be difficult to transport. It's going to drag on for a long time. ”
"This time it's different. I discussed with the four of them, if the transaction volume is large, the five of us will jointly buy the car, depending on the size of the transaction, we will buy 500 to 1,000 cars, and help you finish transporting the wool. Boss Chen said.
Wuyang smiled: "Then I will thank you bosses." If I have the opportunity to come over in the future, I will give everything I have to buy as much wool as possible. ”
"Xiao Li. You also have to hurry. Now many slightly smaller jade mine owners, their wool is not daring to be shipped out, the federal government is relatively tight, for the time being, or turn a blind eye to us, but for how long, no one can say. This time I have arranged a guide for you, so you can set off with him. After picking the other bosses, go back and pick mine, and then we will go directly to Yangon. ”
"That's good, Boss Chen. Thank you. After Wuyang finished speaking, he went out with 3 people. Under the guidance of the guide, the Hummer drove to the northwest of Boss Chen's mine. At this point, they didn't go to the boss. Rather, it went straight to the wool mine.
The wool of the mine is also the same as Boss Chen's, lined up in a long line. Wuyang took a look, there are about a dozen long dragons, stretching out with the mountain winding into the distance, each is 4 or 5 kilometers long, if you look at them one by one, it is estimated that it will take 4 days.
Wuyang saw that the two long dragons were not very far away, so he discussed with everyone, held a long stick in his hand, and used the stick to point the wool he liked, and Zhang Yibo and Mao Xiaoshan used paint to make marks. The mine staff said, "You don't need to send someone to make a mark, the three of them just need to take turns to count." There are a lot of us, so we can rest when we are tired, and your people can also take turns to rest, as long as you Boss Li can persevere. ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "I'm a person who wants money and doesn't want to die, except for eating and going to the toilet, I won't rest." ”
The staff had already prepared paint buckets and brushes, and Mao Xiaoshan also cut a long stick, and after Wuyang finished speaking, everyone followed.
Wuyang saw that there was jadeite in the wool, so he used a stick to point it, regardless of the size of the jadeite and the grade of water in it, but some of the particularly low grades, like what kind of shit, were missed.
The wool is not particularly large, about 500 kilograms, the smallest is dozens of kilograms, and the largest will not exceed 1 ton. Wuyang calculated, on average, there are 3 pieces of wool per meter, 5 kilometers is 15,000 pieces, it took two hours to read two lines, it is already the fastest speed, there are 14 lines next to it, it takes at least 28 hours, and if you read it in two days, it will take 14 hours a day.
After reading the 4 lines and eating lunch, Wuyang said to the staff: "Can you get a small generator to come over, so that we can work overtime at night." ”
The staff said: "We have a generator in the mine, if Boss Li wants to use it, we will use a forklift to carry the generator away, to ensure that it will not affect the wool." ”
It doesn't matter if there is a lamp or not when you look at the wool in the afternoon, it mainly affects the people who make marks and counts. I thanked the staff at the moment.
After eating lunch and immediately started, the staff changed shifts several times, Mao Xiaoshan and the three of them also changed a few times, although Wuyang's body was a little tired, but to see the jade in the wool is so high-grade, especially in the wool of this mine, the jade can be said to be "messy", not only high-grade jadeite, according to previous experience, there may be red Fei, Huang Fei, happy in the heart, forget the fatigue.
After dinner at more than 8 o'clock, Wuyang asked the staff to eat and send Guo Jia back to rest, and he slept in the shed here at night. Guo Jia was already too tired to do anything, so he didn't say anything. An older staff member said, "I'll send this young lady back, and I'll send some mosquito nets later." ”
It was nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, and I looked at a total of 12 lines, Wuyang asked Zhang Yibo how much wool he ordered in a day, and Zhang Yibo said: "More than 80,000 yuan." "Listening to the voice, I was weak, and I was really tired.
When I got up in the morning, Wuyang was in good spirits again, and said to the staff: "We only have 4 lines to choose today, so we won't be too tired." ”
The staff smiled and said, "Didn't Boss Li see us increase the wool?" Actually, what we've been mining recently is on the other side of the mountain. If Boss Li doesn't want to leave regrets, it's better to go over and take a look after reading this. ”
"How many are there on the other side of your mountain? Why do you say that? Wuyang asked.
"It's not a lot over there, it's only about 50,000 yuan. The wool over there is in the process of being mined. Imperial green jadeite was found. If Boss Li is lucky. If you cut out a few pieces of imperial green jadeite in it, you will remember our mine, and you will definitely be there in the future. Said the staff.
Hearing him say this, Wuyang was also very happy in his heart, although he had cut out a lot of imperial green jade, but was he afraid of this kind of high-grade thing? It's hard to sell now, but after a few decades, I'm 50 years old. Maybe there will be more people buying, what was the price at that time?
"So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and look at it. Wuyang smiled and took the lead.
Easily read the 4 rows of wool, only 11 o'clock 10 minutes, the two sides checked the quantity, 112532 pieces, a piece is not bad.
Hurry up and transfer the battlefield, in fact, it is very close, less than 4 kilometers. The wool field here is newly opened, and there are small stones on the ground between the two rows of wool that have not been pressed into the soil. There are only 4 rows of wool, and it is not as long as it was just now. But the bucket trucks coming out of the mine are still being transported out, and the forklifts are constantly swinging.
The leader of the afternoon sun starts to look from the outside. The first few pieces are ordinary stones, there is no jadeite in them, and then although some jadeite can be seen, but very little, after reading a thousand pieces of wool, I also selected 20 pieces. There were more and more wool materials with jadeite, and the two lines looked at it for about an hour and a half, and the staff called for dinner.
During the meal, Zhang Yibo asked: "Brother Li, I see that some jadeite is outside the wool, why doesn't the boss here cut it out, or sells the wool?" ”
Wuyang said: "Gambling stone is a difficult thing to predict, sometimes you see a large piece of jadeite outside, but cut out may only have a layer of skin, there is no jade inside, this is called rather gambling on a line, not a piece." Sometimes the jadeite is cut out, and a good piece of jadeite may be a white stone in the middle. Therefore, these bosses only mine wool and sell it, and do not cut stones themselves. ”
"And these things, no wonder people say that nine out of ten bets are lost." Yibo said.
After eating and continuing, at more than 4 o'clock, I finished reading, those forklifts are still swinging, Wuyang thought, one day to take the time to come over, and then pick some. Among the more than 50,000 pieces of wool here, Wuyang selected nearly 30,000 pieces, and the jadeite in these wool materials are all high-grade jadeite, and none of them are below the ice species, and the two sides add up to more than 140,000 pieces.
"Bosses, shall we go to the bank now? Your wool here is doing well, I'll come over and pick some in a few days if I have time. ”
"Boss Li, our boss has an order, if you buy enough wool, we will give you a few large pieces of wool, let's go over and take a look now, anyway, we will stop by anyway." Said the staff.
Wuyang smiled: "Your boss is really interesting, even sell it with gifts." But I don't want wool, Xie Lu thanks your boss for his kindness. ”
"Boss Li, you're welcome, you can promise to give it to you, otherwise our boss will say that we won't do anything." Said the staff.
"Alright, let's go." After Wuyang finished speaking, he got in the car first. The staff member also got into their car.
Wuyang asked: "Your wool is transported to Yangon, hundreds of thousands, millions of pieces, only a few thousand pieces here, why are your bosses willing to sell here?" ”
"Boss Lai, you don't know, the export of jadeite and wool is the second largest export commodity in our Myanmar, and the federal government has its own jade company, which is the third largest exporter in the country, where does this jade come from? It is produced by all the jadeite merchants, and the wool material is not considered to be expensive, but in fact, it is in the hands of our boss, and each piece may be less than 500 US dollars, and there is also a shipping fee, so of course our boss is willing to sell it here. However, the ordinary jade boss buys dozens or hundreds of pieces of wool every time, and there is no such thing as you. The boss gave you wool, don't be embarrassed, those wool mined can't cost a few dollars. ”
"Didn't you say that the federal government has introduced a law to strictly stop the smuggling of jadeite wool?" Wuyang asked.
"Boss Li, isn't there a saying in China that 'rich rival the country'? The wealth of our boss and Boss Chen is exactly what this sentence is. If the government makes a fuss, maybe the person in power will change. Of course, this kind of talk can't be said nonsense, our boss still abides by the law on the surface, and everyone is safe. Boss Chen introduced you to us to buy wool, first of all, because of your financial resources, and secondly, it is also the meaning of everyone to make a fortune together. ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "So that's the case, this is an unthinkable thing in our country." ”
"Arrived, please stop." The staff shouted.
It turned out that this was the turning point from the old mine to the new mine, everyone got out of the car to see, only saw a big stone on the side of the road, and under the guidance of the staff, they saw the other two pieces hidden in the thatch. The exterior of the wool is already covered with moss, which is no different from ordinary stones.
The staff said: "This first piece was mined by our boss when he first opened the mine, and it has been more than 20 years; The second was mined 15 years ago, and the third is 7 years old. The general wool was blown into small pieces by explosives, and these pieces were not broken, and our boss thought it was providence, so he did not blow them up again, nor did he sell them. Now, their owners have finally arrived. ”
"Boss, I really deserve it, I don't want it. If this wool is shipped to Yangon, each piece is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is difficult for me to take it. Wuyang said.
"Boss Li, you are so young, why are you so stubborn? I told you, this is the will of heaven, how can people disobey heaven? If you are really polite, you can buy wool a few more times in the future. That's the case, you don't have to wait for the Jade Public Market Conference to come over in the future, and when this shipment is finished, you will come over immediately and let our boss's team continue to transport it. Do you think that's good? ”
"Of course this is good, you want to sell wool, I want to buy wool, we have the basis for cooperation, and there is no need to send things."
"Boss Li, do you want to see me next time you come? I hope to accept it when I see it, otherwise I won't be reluctant. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll thank you, thank you, thank your boss." Wuyang said with a smile.
"I'll tell you, the other 3 bosses also have a few big pieces of wool, all of which are ready to be given to you. The last time you bought big wool in Yangon, our boss knew about it and said that you were good. ”
"I'm just angry, it's nothing. Your boss knows me well, but I don't know anything about them. I hope we can come and go back and forth more often to get to know each other. ”
"Our boss went to Yangon this time, and the other three bosses also went, Boss Chen asked for leave to stay because he was waiting for you, and they are all directors of the organizing committee. When the time comes, Boss Chen will definitely introduce you to you. ”
"Boss, I'll look at these 3 pieces of wool now, and I'll only pay the freight when the time comes." After Wuyang finished speaking, he approached the wool material, and his luck really entered his eyes.
After reading one side, I didn't believe it in my heart, so I turned to the other side, looked at it carefully for a while, and was sure that it was true. (To be continued......)
