The boss said: "My personnel and equipment are already on the way, Boss Xiaoli, you can make a few phone calls first, arrange for personnel to transport some silver and brass, and my people will arrive tomorrow, and they can be put into trial production." ”

Wuyang was about to call, Boss Sun said: "Boss Li, we brought the vehicle to transport personnel and equipment to that boss, do you want us to bring some gold back this time?" ”

Wuyang replied yes and started calling. First of all, I called Tan Ren'an and asked about the gold production of the mine. "Yesterday it was in full production, with an output of about 350 kilograms per day," Tan said. Everything is normal in the mine now, Boss Deng is smiling from ear to ear, full of energy, and the production and life of more than 600 people in the mine are in charge. ”

When asked about the output of associated mineral metals, Tan Ren'an said that the output of each set of equipment was about the same, with a total output of more than 10 kilograms per day, and Wuyang asked him to manage these metals well. He also said that the gold from the mine would be pulled away by Gan Jialiang tomorrow, and asked him to arrange a vehicle to transport dozens of tons of silver and brass today.

He called Gan Jialiang again and asked him to send a car to the gold mine tomorrow to transport the gold back, and Gan Jialiang agreed.

made a phone call and signed a contract with Boss Sun and Boss Liu. When negotiating the specific quantity, Boss Liu said: "Boss Li, you are such a big company, we are not afraid that we will not be able to receive money, so we will simply buy more and wipe out all our inventory." Wuyang is in the middle of the favor, so he ordered 1 million tons of 6 mm and 8 mm steel wire, and 2.5 million tons of 4 kinds of rebar.

After signing the contract, the boss said that the river fish last time was very delicious, so let's go there today. So 4 people in a car. Just go eat river fish. Meal. Wuyang arranged for them to stay in a hotel. And said that the next day he sent a driver to take Boss Sun and Boss Liu to scenic spots. When parting, Boss Sun said: "The boss and Boss Ji both said that you are a happy person, and when you settle the bill with Boss Ji in the capital in the morning, we will pay for 20 tons of gold to your account, and you go back to check it online." ”

Wuyang asked, "What price do you pay for?" ”

Boss Sun said: "It's still the old way that the boss told me, according to the futures price, the current futures price is $805 per ounce." ”

Wuyang didn't expect them to be shrewd and bold, "you, you" for a long time. He said, "You're too bold, aren't you?" I can only supply it in installments. ”

The boss smiled: "Boss Xiaoli, we are full of confidence in cooperating with you, look, it is really as we expected." ”

On the way home, I converted the money into US dollars and transferred it to the futures account.

It's still early, so let's go to Xiaobao's jade processing factory to have a look. When I entered the door of the villa, I heard a "hissing" sound. When I went upstairs, it turned out to be the sound of carving jadeite with a machine. The carving tools that Wuyang bought from Huaiyang last time are now used. In the living room upstairs, Master Xia's two sons are disassembling jadeite and watching their flexible operations. Wuyang knew that he had not seen the wrong person.

Xiaobao and everyone's rooms were closed, after the afternoon sun knocked. Seeing that Xiaobao was carving a piece of wood or a miniature carving, he asked, "Are you making a draft here?" ”

Xiaobao smiled and said, "I don't have to make a draft." This is a carving mold, and I am going to use several materials to carve a batch of molds. Now I find ironwood, stainless steel, plexiglass, and when I carve it out, you can melt some jadeite residue and press it on top to see if it can be successful. If which material is easy to use, you will carve more molds of which material in the future. I want to carve out all the famous paintings on this album, and in the future, didn't Grandpa Zhang say that he wanted to build a museum, let's use this as an exhibition area. ”

Wuyang said: "This miniature carving itself is so small that it may be difficult to cast the jadeite when it melts. ”

"Let's try it then, and then let's talk about it." Xiaobao said.

"Just now I saw Master Xiao Xia and the two of them decomposing the jadeite, it is the kind of jadeite of the bean green seed, what about the high-grade jadeite I brought back last time?"

"In the past two days, the feedback from all over the country has shown that only low-end jadeite products are easy to sell, with prices ranging from 3,000 to 500,000 yuan. In the past few days, they have not even sold a single high-grade jadeite. Don't look at these low-grade jadeite, in our small and medium-sized city, there are more than 500 million sales per year, of course, mainly those low-grade jadeite from a few hundred to about two thousand, we can't compete with others for this market, our main brand is mid-range jadeite. In the future, with our publicity and the increase of money in people's pockets, the middle and high-end jadeite market will become bigger and bigger, and now there is no way but to process and sell these things. ”

The jadeite below the ice species, Wuyang bought more in Tengyue, and there were also a small amount in Pingzhou, these were all left in the room of the Stone Villa, this time in Boss Xiao Chen, Boss Da Chen, they bought it, they were all thrown into the pond by Xie Daxia, and when I had time, I went to find some by myself. But it doesn't seem to be necessary, after your own mine mining, are you afraid that these things will be missing? It doesn't matter if the sales of high-grade jadeite don't move, it's a big deal to keep the price increase.

"Xiaobao, you will do it according to your ideas. If you need any jadeite, you can go to the Stone Villa to find it, and if there is no jade there, I will go outside and buy it back. Are your father and brother here? ”

"My senior brother is all here now, and there are 20 people here. It's not very convenient to go to your house for every meal, isn't it okay for us to hire a chef? ”

"There's nothing inconvenient, in a few days, the wall on the other side of the Stone Villa will be built, and I'm going to move back there, so you can move over together, Master Xia's wife is here, and she will cook and boil water for you."

"That's good, those jadeites don't have to be moved around. My father was downstairs with a few older brothers, and they couldn't get used to the electric carving tools, and they thought it was too noisy upstairs, so I arranged for them to carve some places that the electric tools couldn't carve by hand, and there were some places that couldn't be polished; The other senior brothers carved jadeite upstairs, and the technique was basically okay. Would you like to check it out? ”

"I won't go to see it, so as not to disturb them. You remember to give them a salary increase on time. There are also two Master Xiaoxia. You should take the time to read more books on jadeite design. Our company's carving master is available. You're going to take on the responsibility of a designer, and I'll inform the finance to give you a long salary. By the way, last time President Qin said that he wanted to come over and carve those blood jade jade, do you think it is better to invite him over or send the jade over? ”

"Of course, it's better to invite him over, so we can all observe and learn. These days, I'm going to look for some pictures of Guanyin, Buddha, and leaders, and you can bring them to the people who are going to give them the carvings, so that they can choose for themselves, so that they don't have to be satisfied. ”

"That's a good idea. You get it done as soon as possible. I don't know if you have ever seen an ivory carving, and you will learn to tell me in the future. After saying that, Wuyang went out.

Back at home, chatting with Grandpa, Mom, and Shuangshuang, Wuyang asked them if they knew how to turn the new silver dollar into an old silver dollar.

Grandpa smiled, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Mom said, "Wuyang, you have money now, but don't do those illegal things." ”

Wuyang told the boss what he thought: the boss said that the ratio of silver to gold in history was 22 to 1, and now the products of silver are only 4 yuan and 1 gram, and gold is already 180. And said that the people he sent would start producing tomorrow.

Grandpa said, "Silver is indeed too low now, no wonder you have such thoughts." But you can't come forward to sell it, you think. That is, if all your 1,000 tons of silver are turned into silver dollars, how much money can you make? It is very simple to turn a new silver dollar into an old silver dollar, as long as the silver dollar is left in water to soak for a while, the silver dollar will turn black, and then it will be fished out and rubbed with sand and stones, just like the old one. ”

I remembered that tomorrow the boss was going to make silver dollars, and there was no place to start work. Come to think of it, only the best in the warehouse of the cement factory. The place is large, the electricity is sufficient, and it is not afraid of affecting the environment.

called Yuan Zhi and said that he was in the cement factory and could come to him if he had something. Wuyang drove over, called the boss on the way, and asked him how much space he needed to produce silver dollars, and the boss said that a few dozen square meters would be enough.

Wuyang Zhilu said that he himself didn't understand, and I was afraid that dozens of square meters would not be enough to stack products.

met with Yuan Zhi and asked Yuan Zhi to lead him to the warehouse. The warehouse is a long house built on the lower part of the cement plant, 30 meters wide and 800 meters long, with a factory on one side that is the outlet for filling cement extending from the production equipment, and a gate every 30 meters or so on the side near the road.

Seeing that there was a part of the warehouse where cement was stacked, Yuan Zhi told him that there were now more than 100,000 tons of cement stored in the warehouse, and the first production had been transported to build a house. At present, the factory produces about 5,500 tons per day, and the warehouse has a high degree of mechanization from the stacking of filled cement. The cement factory at home is basically filled manually, and then transported and stacked by board trucks, except for the manual filling, all are completed by forklifts, and the efficiency is also much higher.

After discussing with Yuan Zhi, a section of the warehouse was separated as a silver dollar processing factory, so that Yuan Zhi could connect the power and water sources, and arrange a few rooms in the cement factory's guest house, and eat in the cement factory canteen or the guest house canteen. He also asked Yuan Zhi to arrange personnel to pick up the vehicles transporting silver at night, and to pick up the processing personnel tomorrow morning, and told Yuan Zhi the phone number of the boss, so that Yuan Zhi could also contact him.

When I went home for dinner, I discussed with my parents and family about moving back to Stone Villa, and Grandpa Zhang and his parents were very much in favor. Pei Xuewen, the father-in-law of the Pei family, is commuting by car anyway, it doesn't matter where he lives, the mother-in-law of the Pei family is now working in the infirmary of the Liming Community, 4 kilometers away from the villa, and it will become more than ten kilometers when she moves over, which is a little inconvenient. Wuyang said that she would let her mother-in-law drive herself in the future, and her car was still locked in the garage after Pei Lei left.

asked Shuangshuang, right and Wang Xiaohui what their opinions were, and said to the pair: "We are marrying chickens and dogs anyway, of course we will follow wherever you go." ”

Wuyang allocated the housing. There are many people in his family, so he lives in a large villa, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Pei family live in one set, one set is used as a canteen, and the other two sets are used as gold and jade processing factories.

Wang Xiaohui pointed to the ground and said, "What should I do?" Wuyang knew that she was thinking about the gold in the basement, so she said: "It's okay, we have to move in a few days, and it is estimated that it will be used up by then." In the past few days, the demand in the capital is particularly large, and a few tons are transported every few days, but this situation will definitely not last long. "Continue to care about the futures market in the evening. After the opening, gold rose slightly. Oil has been falling. Soon it fell below the $70 mark. It still went all the way down, and by the time the market was about to close, it had fallen below $67. Now, for every $1 down, you lose $1.3 billion, and in two days, your previous profits are basically gone. Wuyang didn't think about it anymore, so he ate all the funds transferred by Boss Sun and bought more than 50 million barrels. There are now more than 1.35 billion barrels of crude oil futures on the account.

Wuyang felt that Qiu Xiaomu was the most sorry, and he asked him to participate in futures trading. It's only been two days, and $13 million has been put in.

turned off the computer, Wuyang felt that he had become a gambler now, and he had a little bit of a red eye, and his psychological quality was not suitable for doing this, so don't invest any more money after he unties. Moreover, this time it is still the company's money from the sale of gold, although it is all its own money, but it should still be one yard to one yard. When the rare metal is sold next month, it will be replenished.

When I got up in the morning, I turned on my phone, and the boss's call came in. Invite Wuyang to go and watch the minting of silver dollars, and Wuyang asks him to have breakfast first. I came to pick him up after dinner. After receiving the boss, the two rushed to the cement factory.

On the way, the boss said, "This time I organized 4 people to mint silver dollars, and they arrived last night, and your factory director Yuan received them." It should have been produced this morning. ”

In the large room enclosed by the cement factory's warehouse, a small smelting plant is already starting to smelt. Wuyang went in with the boss, and several people greeted them warmly. The master told them that since brass had the highest melting point, brass was first smelted, and when the brass melted into water, lead was added, and when lead was melted, silver was added. Silver has a lower melting point, melts quickly, and then stirs and then pours into molds to shape.

As expected, they added different weights of metal to the smelting equipment in proportion, and the metal slowly melted. One person stirred it, and one person scooped up the synthetic metal solution with a metal spoon and poured it into a mold that had been placed in advance.

The two saw that the rows of molds were not very large, there were 10 silver dollar molds in it, and after pouring the solution, the people who followed immediately covered the mold lid, and then pressed it a little harder, and the excess metal in the mold overflowed and flowed to the ground. However, their manipulation skills seem to be very skillful, and the spilled solution is only a few drops at most.

At the end of the day, a person lifted the mold with the poured water and put it in a large iron box filled with cold water, and the mold was steaming. Then he picked up the mold and opened it, and with a light knock on the ground, ten silver dollars were produced.

When the master was cleaning up the silver dollars on the ground, the boss grabbed a few on the ground and examined them, looked at them for a while, and said again and again: "Like, it's exactly the same." "The boss is in the antique business, of course he knows these things. Wuyang didn't understand it at all. He just saw that there seemed to be several different silver dollars, with the heads of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen, from the Qing Dynasty, and from the United States.

The boss told, "These silver dollars are the most extant of the kind, and if you mint those that are less extant, it is easy to make people suspicious." These kinds used to have a relatively high silver content and were more popular, but now they are relatively high in the market and are sought after by collectors. The weight of the silver dollar was minted according to the old scale of 16 taels per catty, and the weight was 15.6 grams. The silver content in it is about 70%, not too high, too high the silver dollar is softer, and if the silver content is too low, it is easy to see that the fineness is not good. The weight will also be a little larger. ”

Wuyang saw that the silver that was put in just now was 4 pieces, 20 kilograms, and now the silver dollars minted are about 1,800, it seems that the boss is telling the truth. Wuyang thought for a while, each silver dollar uses 11 grams of silver, so the nearly 1,000 tons of silver in his mine can produce hundreds of millions of silver dollars, and the silver in the mine will continue to be produced in the future.

After Wuyang and the boss left the production site, they discussed the issue of sharing, and the boss asked, "On what basis are you going to share?" ”

Wuyang said: "Since it is produced here, I am responsible for the supply of all raw materials, the transportation of raw materials and products, the cost of water and electricity, and the food and accommodation of workers. You are responsible for the wages of workers and the sale of products. What do you think? ”

"If that's the case, I think for every 100 silver dollars produced, give me 4 dollars, and although my sales expenses are higher, I will not suffer a loss." The boss said.

"Then boss, I think it's okay to give you 5 yuan for 100 yuan, you spend a lot of energy selling these things, and you can't work hard in vain, right?"

"Boss Xiao Li, I know that you are a kind person, I have done a lot of things in the past when buying and selling cultural relics, and I will definitely do this in the future, but for you, I will not come to those routines. I think that's it, every time I take the silver dollar from here, I will pay you an advance payment of 220 yuan a piece, if the price is low or high in the sale, we will settle it, okay? ”

"That's not good, boss, I can't let you advance the funds. In case you put something in your hands, your liquidity will be less, and it will affect your other businesses, and this money is a windfall for me, dispensable, and I will not take it so seriously. So you don't have to do that at all. ”

"Boss Xiaoli, although we are cooperating, we are still doing business, and there are rules for doing business. I won't smash these things in my hands, you can rest assured. Besides, if you are happy to cooperate with me, my profit will definitely be quite considerable, especially if it is done in the long run, it is a rare big business. Just do what I said. Let's not talk about this matter, do we still go to eat river fish at noon? ”

"Are you addicted to river fish, is it so delicious?" Wu Yang smiled.

"Do you have any other dishes to eat here? What dish is not spicy to death? I think it's better to eat river fish. (To be continued......)
