"Grandpa, how can there be so many? Isn't this a few dozen kilograms of red jade? ”

"It turns out that you don't know the Tao yet, I thought you asked me to come here to carve because I couldn't put these materials? In fact, the total weight of this piece of red fei should be about 0.5 tons, according to the common carving technique of the Buddha statue, according to the size of this piece of red jade, the base plus the Buddha, the weight after successful carving is only about 60% of the total weight, if you subtract the part of other local carvings, only about 250 kilograms are left. Of course, you can subtract the base, but we can't do without the base if we are for luxury. ”

"Grandpa, how many bracelets can be carved from these leftover materials?"

"The number of carved bracelets, if I do it, should be more than 200, less than 300, if it is done by those professional masters, 300 is indispensable, and other objects should also have tens of thousands, according to the current price, it should not be less than 5 billion."

"Grandpa, if you can carve so much, the jade will not be sold for the price of cabbage?"

"It's not right for you to look at the problem that way. If 20 years ago, this kind of bracelet was sold for 2,000 yuan and no one wanted it, but now it is millions, and there are still many people who want it, and the living standard will be further improved in the future, and people will have more money in their hands, maybe you can sell ten or eight in a day, and the price will be much higher than now. Also, aren't you too much? For carving Guanyin and standing statues of leaders, there will be much less material left, only the shoulders and head can be left with the materials left to carve bracelets. ”

"It's so expensive, it's no wonder that in our gold jewelry stores in the capital, high-end jade objects can't be sold at all. Otherwise, just take these things down. ”

"Withdrawal still can't be withdrawn. You're not waiting to ask for money now anyway. It's good to let them be there, but if they are removed, it will give people the impression that your store only sells low-grade goods and not high-end goods. President Qin said. After a while, he said: "Your father Liu said that he wants the yellow statue of the leader, do you have jade in your hand now, if there is, I will carve it out together, and you will send it to the capital together when the time comes." ”

"I'll go to Stone Villa tomorrow and find some pieces of wool that may have yellow jadeite. Let the workers and masters open their mouths to see, it is difficult to say whether they can find out. "Wuyang only knows whether there is jadeite in the wool, but he can't distinguish the color inside. It's the same as when we eat watermelon, and before we cut it, it's all black inside.

When I came to the 2nd floor, Xiaobao and Da Mao were not there, and Xiao Cao and Xiao Zhu were also waiting for dinner at their own home, and there were a lot fewer people. Dabao and his brothers were working hard, and when they saw Wuyang, they smiled at him or nodded. I'm working again. After turning around, I saw that the carved ones were all medium and low-grade jadeite. I didn't have much interest in my heart, I saw a row of cabinets in the corner of the living room, and when I opened it, it was full of the remnants of carved jadeite, and there were labels on the outside of the bags, such as what glass was yang green, ice was yang green, and the residue left when the big blood jade was decomposed last time, and it was packed in several bags.

"Ready to eat." Wuyang greeted him in the living room, came downstairs, and said to President Qin, "Grandpa, let's go eat together." ”

After the meal, Wuyang first received a call from Li Yaowu, "In the afternoon, the county government will hold a meeting, and the tax department can exempt you from income tax for one year according to the law, and the preferential policy of 15% will be implemented in the next three years." There is no way to reduce or reduce VAT, and the right to reduce or reduce it lies with the central government. In addition, we will also give you the most preferential policy, reduce a part of the mineral resource tax, the public security department is ready to set up a duty point in your mine to ensure the safety of your mining, and the power department will also absolutely guarantee the power supply of your mine. What do you think? ”

"Dad, thank you. However, there is one thing you have not considered, if our taxes are paid, you will take off the hat of the poor county, and the state's poverty alleviation funds will be gone, and you will face a lot of trouble. Wuyang said with a smile.

"My big boss Li, you don't seem to have to think about these things, right? With money, I will know how to develop production, improve the lives of the masses, and let our county's economy take off. Li Yaowu said with a smile.

"Then you have a bright future, I wish you all the best."

"Borrow your good words." Li Yaowu hung up after speaking.

After watching TV for a while, Wang Bin also called in. "Wuyang, I'll talk about the situation in the county in the afternoon. I went to the investment promotion bureau of the county, they were very happy, the director personally received me, I told us about the situation, and then went to the county magistrate in charge, and then called the relevant departments for a meeting, which was basically settled, which fully met our requirements. ”

"How's that going to happen? Is it possible to reduce taxes? Wuyang asked.

"Income tax is levied at 15% for us for 3 years, and there is a situation of value-added tax now, that is, the county's higher-level municipal government requires us to export products, and in accordance with the tax policy, we can enjoy export tax rebates, which is equivalent to saying that value-added tax can be completely reduced. The problem is that we have to export all the products, and the price we said last time is 200 US dollars per ton higher than the domestic sales, but we are required to deliver the products to the port terminals in the south, and the freight will be borne by the other party. At that time, the time was relatively rushed, I did not call you, but agreed to the request of the city government, and signed a contract with the demander in the afternoon to supply the goods from May 1. ”

"It's so far from the mine to Yangcheng, and our transportation is insufficient, what are you going to do?" Wuyang asked.

"I have no choice but to buy vehicles and increase capacity. I thought about it for a while, we can't have any ideas about rail transportation, we can only rely on car transportation. We now have 30 trailers, each containing 60 tons, and we can only transport half of it, so we have to buy more than 35 trailers to barely get enough. One driver per vehicle is not enough, and you have to prepare about 5 maneuvers. The freight is 200 yuan per ton, and the gross income of a trip is 12,000 yuan, minus refueling, crossing, labor wages, etc., the profit is about 6,000 yuan, if according to the contract, we can transport it for 3 years, and the profit is still considerable. ”

"From our mine to Yangcheng, it is nearly 1,500 kilometers back and forth. One driver and one car can't hold on. Two drivers are mandatory. In addition, let the construction machinery company send people to Yangcheng, contact the vehicle to pull back the goods, you can increase income, of course, it is difficult to have so many return goods to pull. But it doesn't matter, our product itself has increased by 200 US dollars per ton, so 3600 tons per day is 720,000 US dollars, and the export tax rebate is also a lot of income. But I don't want to lose the domestic market. ”

"It's easy to do. In Wuyang, we still have nearly 200,000 tons of inventory. It can cope with a period of time, do we buy two more sets of equipment, and the products will be supplied to the domestic market, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"Will you be able to find that many mines? If there is a mine to be mined, it is easy to buy equipment. ”

"Things are not difficult in the mines. Some time ago, the owners of several mines came to me and wanted us to buy their ore at a price of 200 yuan per ton, but I said that the price was too high, and we would still mine it ourselves. The cost of our own mining is less than 100 yuan per ton, so we don't talk to them about business. They came a few more times later. I refused, I still wanted to base myself on mining. There are tungsten ores everywhere here. We'll go and find it. ”

"It's good to be able to find it, but it's okay to buy it from them if you can't find it, and it's best to install our equipment in their mines, produce it locally, and their freight costs are gone, and the price should be able to come down." But this is the last resort, if there is a way, it is not like this, or it is more cost-effective for us to find ore by ourselves. ”

"Wuyang, now the local government has not realized the importance of orderly mining, and there is no idea about this at all. We are outsiders here, and we can mine one day at a time. My proposition is that while looking for ore by ourselves, we should also install equipment in other people's mines, how much ore we have, how much metal we produce, and when the superiors are not allowed to dig indiscriminately, we can retreat in style. ”

"Okay, during this time, you will go to the mine and contact the boss of the mine, count the number of equipment needed, and I will arrange for the construction machinery company to buy vehicles and recruit drivers to ensure the normal operation of the mine in the next few days." Wuyang said.

"Wuyang, have you considered it, if all the metals we produce are sold, even if we don't pay VAT, our income tax is also astronomical. Is there a way to do this? Wang Bin asked.

"Being able to pay at 15% is already the best way, and there should be no other way. Pay it, anyway, it is handed over to the state, and it is the obligation of citizens to pay taxes according to law. Besides, as you just said, if we expand production, we will buy equipment, and the products produced will not be sold, and this will also reduce part of the profits. In addition, if you buy other people's ore, you can ask them to issue sales invoices to you, or you can issue purchase invoices yourself, so that you can also offset part of the profits. You don't have to think about these things, in the next few days, the company's finance will send someone to assist the financial personnel of your mine to apply for general VAT taxpayers, and let them work. ”

"Okay, I'll go out to the mine with a few people tomorrow. Wuyang, now that our business is carried out more, we need to buy a few off-road vehicles, do you say okay? ”

"What's wrong with that. Anyone else's one is a little worse, and you can buy a Hummer yourself. The associated mineral products of your mine must be kept safe and cannot be lost. By the way, you haven't been involved in the payment method of that foreign company just now, can you tell me? ”

"It's good, they asked us to open an account in a bank in Yangcheng, and every time we receive the metal into the container, we will transfer the payment to our account, and the money will not be loaded into the ship until the account is received. So we also have to arrange personnel to do this in Guangzhou. Wang Bin said.

"That's good, let's see if it's your mine or the company's side? Anyway, you have to send people with a strong sense of responsibility. ”

"It's better to send someone from the company's side, my side is not enough now. Let's not talk about it, we'll talk about it later. ”

The family chatted and watched TV for a long time, and Wuyang was ready to go online to eat futures for the foundation, so Qiu Xiaomu rushed back, "Brother Li, today I shipped another 150 truckloads of wool from Myanmar, more than 8,000 yuan, and I was busy until more than 8 o'clock to finish unloading the car, and the bank couldn't withdraw cash, and the freight hadn't been given to them yet." Do you have one at home? If I have them, I will send them so that they will not be delayed. ”

"Yes. I'll go collect it from everyone, and you can sit down for a while. Drink tea. You've worked hard. Has Master Xia come back? Wuyang said.

"It's back. He's going to call you just now to thank you. I said forget it, let's talk about it when we meet one day. Xiao Mu said.

I found my mother and a few wives to take the money and handed it to Xiaomu, "I'll go with you tomorrow, you can rest early." ”

Xiao Mu took the money and got up and left, the time was almost 10 o'clock, and the futures market had already opened.

Wuyang turned on the computer and clicked on the futures website. found that Brent crude oil and U.S. crude oil were already 95 US dollars, and I realized the danger in my heart, and Pei Lei and Wu Fang video, Pei Lei said: "I have made you hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two days, and today is now in a state of empty positions, whether to eat or not has not made up my mind." ”

Wuyang said: "I always feel that there is danger in my heart, and you can do what you think is good." I think we'll wait a minute, and we'll talk about it when it's close to the end. My father was going to start a foundation, and we allocated 20 billion yuan to him, which has been converted into dollars. I'll tell you the account, and you'll be in charge. After that, he sent all the information.

Then let's take a look at gold futures. Gold futures were eaten 100 million ounces on the evening of the 13th, when it was $845, and in two days, it had reached $863, an increase of more than two percentage points. Wuyang's mood was even better, and he asked Pei Lei if she had told all the sisters the news of the oil shortage, and when she heard that she had been notified, she had nothing to do in her heart, so she ended the video and turned on the computer.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw that gold futures were still up and closed at $865. That is to say, now the price of gold futures has exceeded the domestic retail price of gold, Wuyang thought, I wonder if this trend will continue in the future. Looking at oil futures again, it is a long black line that closed and fell to $90, so I asked Xiao Xu, did oil futures have been thrown out yesterday?

Xiao Xu said: "I threw it out the night before yesterday, it was more than 93 US dollars, and I didn't eat it last night, because Pei Lei didn't eat it, so I only followed them." ”

After breakfast, he and Xiaomu went to Stone Villa together, and Master Xia saw Wuyang enter the door, so he immediately greeted him. Wuyang walked up and shook hands with him, "Master Xia, you can be regarded as going abroad as well." ”

"Boss Li, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry that I'm going to do something for a few days and came back. Thank you for helping Da Mao find a partner, our family's affairs are really thanks to you. Master Xia said.

"Don't say that, your family's affairs, if I can help, I will definitely help later. Isn't your son still working in our company? By the way, Master Xia, are you willing to go to Mo Qiuyue's house and preside over the work of mining granite? ”

Master Xia said: "Whether to go or not depends on the specific situation, if Da Mao and they succeed, I will definitely go, if not, I don't want to go." The work in the granite mine is much harder than here, and the salary is not necessarily higher than here, and it can't be compared with going to Myanmar, but for the sake of my son, I am embarrassed not to go. ”

Wuyang smiled: "When your in-laws come, I'll tell him and let him give you some shares, so that you can be motivated." ”

"Boss Li, don't mention the matter of shares, when the time comes, others will not agree, the mutton will not be eaten, and I will be embarrassed, I was born to work."

"Well, I won't mention it. I just came back today, do you want to rest for a day and work tomorrow? ”

"If you don't let me work, I'll be like I'm sick, so let's do it today." Master Xia said.

"Well, you'll teach them how to wipe the stones later. They have been learning to cut stones for a few days, and they have not yet learned to rub stones. After Wuyang finished speaking, he beckoned the ten brothers Qiu Xiaomu, who had already come to the vicinity, "You will learn to rub stones with Master Xia later, and Master Xia will start to wipe them yourself after the demonstration." Learn how to gamble on stones as soon as possible, which will be very helpful for you in the future. ”

Master Xia arranged for some of them to carry wool and some to take tools, and soon started.

Wuyang himself went to the wool warehouse and selected the wool with yellow jadeite among the wool transported back from Myanmar. In Myanmar, 30 pieces of jadeite wool may have different colors, except for one piece of white and only one piece of black, there are at least 5 pieces of other colors. These wool Wuyang can be bought back at a great price, because the ones he selected are all water species and colors, and the jadeite in it is relatively large, and the bidding price is basically not less than 800,000 euros, one of which may be purple jadeite wool, even more than the two pieces of purple jadeite he put in the dog food bowl at Uncle Yangmei Zheng's house. The two pieces of wool are more than 400 kilograms. This one is 900 kilograms. It was basically full, so he invested 1.8 million euros, and sure enough, he pocketed it.

There are also two large pieces of yellow jadeite, before the stone was cut, the weight was more than 1,200 kilograms, after cutting off many stones, one piece is more than a ton, and the other is less than 900 kilograms. But the biggest one is the authentic chanterelle. Now it's a bit reluctant to let Wuyang take it out and carve ornaments. But fortunately, the 900-kilogram piece is also a glass chestnut yellow, and it is also a high-grade jadeite, so I chose it.

Wuyang himself moved the gourd crane, dragged the yellow jade from the warehouse to the outside, after going out, afraid that when going down the ladder, the ladder chiseled out of the original stone will be damaged, so please come and take a hand.

This is a rectangular jadeite with a width of more than 80 centimeters, a thickness of more than 60 centimeters, and a height of more than 60 centimeters, with a size of more than 900 kilograms. The size is not large, and when everyone lifts it, they can't hold the hands of a few people at all. When there are fewer people, they can't lift up. Wuyang had to ask someone to find a wooden plank to put on the stairs. Let Xiaomu and them operate the hoist crane, and lift it by themselves and a few people with great strength. Everyone cooperated very well, and soon carried the wool down the stairs and dragged it to the place where the stone was rubbed.

"Master Xia, you can use this piece of wool as a demonstration wool, you can rub it out now. Everyone came to see Master Xia rubbing stones. After the afternoon sun greeted, he walked away.

Last night, Wang Bin asked to buy a trailer, and he could have called Xiong Gangqiang directly, but he was still worried about purchasing steel in the Northeast, so he called Guo Zhiping.

"Manager Guo, where are you now?"

"It's Xiao Li, I'm in the capital, what's the matter?"

"What are you up to?"

"The steel transported from the Northeast has to be unloaded every day and transferred to Lianxinzhuang, so I can't win." Guo Zhiping said.

"Not enough capacity?"

"As for the capacity of the car, we have transferred all the trailers, flatbeds, and large trucks that the company can mobilize, and we have invited a lot of vehicles from outside, which is basically enough now; In terms of railways, the wagons are sufficient, but the place of the cargo station is not large enough to affect our operation. ”

"How much has been transported so far?"

"Today, it is exactly a month, an average of about 8,000 tons per day, and more than 200,000 tons have been transported." Guo Zhiping said.

"Did we make a mistake in decision-making, the distance is long, the quantity is large, and if it goes on like this, it will take more than 4 years to transport it non-stop."

"We're seeing this problem as well. Boss Sun has already mobilized a large number of cars in the northeast, preparing to transport some of them from the road. Boss Sun called me yesterday and said that nearly 600 cars have been mobilized, which can transport 36,000 tons at a time, which is shorter than railway transportation, because the time of loading and unloading trucks at two ends is saved. As long as the loading and unloading truck does not delay time, the car can run once in two days. In this way, we can strive to complete the shipment within half a year. ”

"Is our crane enough, and the freight of car transportation is more expensive, right?" Wuyang asked.

"Our cranes are definitely not enough. But we have encountered this problem before, and we have taken corresponding measures to solve it. We now have more than 80 cranes, but also from the outside to invite more than 50, there are nearly 140 cranes in the work, those who have a small amount of hoisting are arranged to unload at the cargo station, the large amount of hoisting is unloaded in Lianxinzhuang, in general, each crane can be unloaded in about 10 minutes, that is, to increase the transport of 1,000 cars, we only need to increase the crane driver on the line. As for the freight of car transportation, because the road is not very far, each ton of steel is 20 yuan less than that of railway transportation. Xiao Li, Miss An here said that these apple trees are your treasures, and last year they generated more than 30 million economic benefits for you, and they also shipped back a lot of apples. ”

"There's no way around it, you can keep as much as you can. Wang Bin recently needs to buy 40 trailers to transport tungsten metal to the south, plus the original 35 cars, may need 150 drivers, do you have time, if you have time, arrange the purchase of vehicles and hire drivers, if there is no time, I will let General Manager Xiong arrange it. ”

"It's within my purview, so I'll take care of it. However, so many drivers are needed at once, so it would be good if you ask Political Commissar Pei to come forward, find the military affairs office in the army to contact the transportation unit, and ask the army to help find some veterans to come over. Guo Zhiping said.

"Okay, I'll call right away."

Call Pei Xuewen immediately, "Dad, our company is in urgent need of recruiting 150 car drivers, I would like to ask you to contact the troops, let some veterans come over, mainly drive large trucks, and if there are crane drivers, there will be dozens." ”

"No problem, I'll call right away. There are many car drivers among the veterans of the army, and in recent years, we have cultivated dual-use talents, and many soldiers have learned to drive and get driver's licenses, and I will find you all the 500 people you need. Pei Xuewen said.

"500 people don't want so many for the time being, 300 people still want it. Then please ask them to report to the Dawn Community. ”

"Be kind to me. Okay, I'll call back. ”

Wuyang called Xiong Gangqiang again and asked him if Wang Bin had reported the situation to him? Xiong Gangqiang said that he had just passed the phone call, and the situation was clear. Wuyang said that he had asked Political Commissar Pei to call back to the army to contact the former car driver, and asked the car driver to report to the Liming community. Xiong Gangqiang said that I arranged for personnel to receive them in the Liming community.

After making the call, Wuyang thought to himself that he could no longer engage in such a thing as purchasing steel in the future, which was really thankless. In the future, it is necessary to look at the direction and build several sunny industries, and the scale can be appropriately larger. (To be continued......)
