Chapter 902: Emerald Gem Mine (Part I)
The hero was sorting, and Wuyang selected some about 5 grams and gave two to each of the pilots, assistants, flight attendants, Pei Lei, and Dan. Pei Lei saw that he was still picking, so she took a 3-gram one and walked to the cockpit of the speedboat, but was quickly stopped by the hero's eyes. "If you can't give it, you give it today, and tomorrow it will be turned upside down. We insiders, it's okay to know. You listen to my reward, Secretary Li gave it, and I will give you two. ”
Wuyang went to arrange the return voyage, chatted with the pilot for a while, and when he returned to the cabin, Xie Daxia had already sorted it. "Wuyang, I still have 1,680 trees left, if you want to cut them in the future, go to your factory, and the small particles cut are all from the processing factory. Don't feel distressed, open the mine, I'll give you 10 times, 100 times. ”
Wuyang smiled and didn't speak, and it was even more difficult for others to say anything.
The next day, I rented a helicopter to hunt, the helicopter flew for an hour, only to see a group of goats, pitifully few, only 3, Wuyang, Daxia, Pei Lei each fired once, went down to pick up the goats, and a voyage passed. After calculating, it cost two thousand dollars for a goat, and it was reluctant to throw it away.
I ate half a goat at noon, rented fishing tackle in the afternoon, bought sardines, and rented a boat to go fishing. Contrary to the morning, Wuyang used three sardines as bait and caught three large fish of 6 or 70 catties. Big fish is very similar to tuna, and if you don't hear the name clearly, you won't be addicted. If you can't take them away, you might as well let them live freely in the sea.
Returning home early, no one wants to stay on the island anymore. The pilot and assistant proposed to go to Manaus in northern Brazil in the afternoon, and Wuyang naturally did not object.
It's always time difference, and the afternoon sun is messed up. Arrived at Manaus. It's already dark. Stay in a hotel. Pei Lei contacted Aizhong's and Aihua's families. Daxia contacted Zhao Jinfu, and Wuyang brought mutton, salmon and fish caught in the afternoon to the kitchen.
Aizhong, Aihua's family and relatives came, the young people drove sports cars, and the older ones rode in RVs, which was full of style. After Wuyang and Pei Lei welcomed them into the hotel, they wanted to talk, but they encountered a language barrier. Family and relatives can speak Portuguese, and Chinese and English can only be used for simple greetings. It can't be helped. When relatives and friends gather, it is not a matter of asking for an interpreter. Pei Lei transferred two bank clerks who could speak English and Portuguese, and she was finally able to talk.
After talking about some life and business matters, there is nothing to talk about. Through Pei Lei's bank, Wuyang gave $1 billion to Aizhong's and Aihua's parents, and 50 million to his relatives.
When the food was served, Zhao Jinfu arrived with two people. After greeting everyone, he stood behind the chairs of Wuyang and Daxia.
The hero asked, "Lao Zhao." How many people have been contacted? ”
"There are more than 100 people who have already arrived at the meeting point in Colombia, and there are more than 300 on the way, and if necessary, many people can be gathered."
Daxia said: "The mine is at the junction of Colombia and Brazil, is it convenient to fly or car? ”
"It's not convenient to fly, to Colombia, and then to the mine, you still have to rely on a car, and the distance is about the same."
"It's easy to take a car, but is the road good?"
"The roads are good, but they're also dangerous."
Wuyang asked, "What is the danger?" ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "There are no less than 15,000 road robberies in Brazil every year. If the boss drives a luxury car, he will definitely meet it. ”
The hero said: "Do robbers hurt people? ”
"If you don't resist, it generally doesn't hurt. The robbers here have set up multiple points, and if they don't know the situation, they will pass one level and not be able to break through the next level. ”
Wuyang said: "Hero, you have been here for several years, and you have not been robbed." ”
"I usually fly in the air, and the few times I get in a car, I'm always with government officials, and there are police cars on the road. What do we do now? ”
Wuyang said: "Eat first, and then figure out a way later." ”
After eating, the guests were sent off, and then sat down to discuss. Zhao Jinfu said: "Boss, I asked my fellow countrymen this time, and they said that Brazil also has emerald gemstone mining, and some of them have worked in Brazilian mines." ”
Daxia said: "This is why I am lonely and unheard, I often come to Brazil, and I don't know that there are gem mines here." ”
Wuyang said: "Every time you come, either in the iron mine or in the forest, you have never been exposed to this aspect of things, who will take the initiative to mention it to you." ”
Daxia said: "Now that the security of Brazil's roads is so poor, even if we buy a mine, it will be troublesome to mine." ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "Doesn't the boss have a plane? Once the gem is mined, it can be transported by plane. It's not safe on the road, it's safe in the air. ”
Daxia said: "But I still have to buy daily necessities." In the past, there were few lumberjacks, and daily necessities were easy to procure, but the iron mine was arranged by a company to purchase daily necessities, and the driver was only responsible for transportation, but it was never robbed. Is it better to open up the mines now and adopt this method? ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "Boss, the gem is not iron ore, a vein is very large. Not to mention that the veins are not easy to find, and even if they do, they won't be together. ”
Wuyang said: "Robbers won't come to the mine to rob, right?" ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "In the past, in the mines, I saw that the guards were equipped with long and short weapons, and even bazookas. But we went to work in a mine, and we just wanted to sleep after work, and we didn't know if there had been a robbery. ”
Daxia said: "It is not difficult to set up a mine protection team, we will select some retired veterans of the special combat team from the company, and the weapons here are easy to buy, even if the law does not allow it, it will not be found if it is only used in the mine." ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "I see that many people are carrying short weapons, and it should not be illegal. ”
"It's better if it's not illegal. Wuyang, the key is how to find the vein. Otherwise, we will arrange for the plane to fly for a few days from tomorrow, and you can go and find out. ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "Your plane can't work, it's too slow to run long distances, and it's too fast to find ore veins, so you can't see it clearly before you run away." ”
The hero smiled: "You can only settle." It is not known if a helicopter can be rented here, even if it is. It's so far. It hasn't reached the ground yet. The helicopter ran out of fuel and had to turn back. If you arrange an oil tanker truck to send oil, I don't know if it can be approved, and it is not safe on the road. ”
"It's not that I can't compromise, I can only take a rough look at a small plane, and the place I need to buy will be much bigger."
The hero said: "I'm not afraid of this. There are no veins underground, but there is a forest on the ground. That's exactly what we need. In the future, it is necessary to find the exact location of the ore vein, and let the Roc find it on the ground. ”
"Okay, let's do it. We'll start tomorrow. ”
The hero said: "Wuyang, if you mine the mine, do you want your relatives to participate?" ”
Pei Lei said: "Daxia, the boats we contacted you are used by them, do you say you still need to arrange them?" ”
"It's such a big business, what else do you have to arrange."
Wuyang asked, "What kind of business do they do?" ”
Pei Lei said: "The main thing is to do trade between China and Pakistan. One company makes seafood, and the other makes coffee, citrus, orange juice, and cane sugar. There is also a company that makes wood. Aizhong and Aihua also have two companies in China, one is mainly engaged in home appliances and clothing. The other one does tourism. The business of these companies is relatively good, and several container ships of Daxia have been leased by them for a long time. ”
"Okay, yes, these things have to be purchased and sold in our country and Brazil, and the scale of the company is not small. Brazilian coffee is so famous, let's go back to our room and brew it. ”
The hero said: "People let you take it back, how can you take it apart now?" ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "When I go home, why do I still drink coffee?" ”
"If you want to drink, you have to wait, let's first choose a rough place to go, so as not to run the wrong way."
"Fly north from here, see the gem mine, and buy it."
The hero smiled: "There are several Amazon reserves here, even if you find a vein, you can't mine it, don't you run away and delay the business?" With the computer turned on, let's figure out the route. ”
After a few discussions, it was decided that tomorrow we would fly southwest to the border between Brazil and Peru, then north, to Colombia, and then southeast to Manaus. If necessary, you can cross the borders of Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela, and they have already been contacted anyway, and Xie Daxia's plane has been to these countries before.
Everyone was ready to go to rest, and the pilot said: "Mr. Xie, you must rest for a day tomorrow, we must determine the route, contact the landing airport, refueling and many other matters, if you can't get in touch, you can't fly." ”
Daxia said: "Secretary Li's time is tight, can you not use a day?" ”
"Okay, we'll get in touch in the evening and see if we can make it half a day early. Tomorrow we will take off at noon and try to land at the port of Velyau in the evening. Tomorrow at breakfast, I'll tell you about tonight's contact. ”
"Okay, so be it. You have to pay attention to rest, safety always comes first. One more day of delay here, one less day of flight over there in the Caribbean. ”
"Got it. The owner gave us such an expensive gem, and we still want to keep our lives and enjoy life. ”
At breakfast the next day, the pilot told him: "The other airports have been contacted, only the most critical Weiliugang airport has not yet responded, and it will be replied at 10 o'clock this morning." ”
"Okay, let's go to the city of Manaus, and call if we have something."
Zhao Jinfu had been to Manaus before, and this time he came for another day, so the three of them led the way, and a few people went shopping. After walking a short distance, I came to a street selling jewelry. There are a lot of purple crystals in the store, many of which are connected together, and some of which are individual.
Seeing that the hero's eyes were always staring at the crystal, Wuyang said, "Hero, the purple color of this crystal is not very good." ”
The hero smiled: "Have you ever seen a crystal?" Brazil is a big country that produces crystals, and our country imports a lot from here, which is called purple gas from the east. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "I haven't seen crystals? Just kidding, I'll go back and send you some. Your hero's strength can move 200 kilograms, so I'll give you so much. ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "Boss, what Secretary Li said is right. Amethyst is produced in both Brazil and Uruguay, and the purple color in Uruguay is much darker. But now that Uruguayan amethyst has been mined, all the ones marked as Uruguayan amethyst are Brazilian crystals. Secretary Li has amethyst to give, so you don't have to spend money to buy this. ”
Xie Daxia smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't have it, I'll go to your house to move the jade." I want a glass seed. ”
At this time came to a house with amethyst. There is also a shop for emerald gemstones. Zhao Jinfu walked over and grabbed the man's collar, and the other two people also went up and twisted their arms. "Lao Zhao, if you have something to say, don't move your hands and feet."
Zhao Jinfu said: "Lao Tzu has the heart to kill you." Hurry up, give the Lao Tzu 3 years' salary, it's easy to say anything. ”
"It's easy to say, if you let go, I'll give it right away?"
Zhao Jinfu let go. The man said again: "Lao Zhao, I have conditions. You have to promise me that you can't tell anyone I'm here. ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "You don't talk too much, take the money." ”
"Lao Zhao, if you want to make more money, you agreed to my conditions."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You help me go to the mine to get a batch of goods, it's in Luli, less than 300 kilometers from here, and I'll be back in half a day, I'll give you $150,000."
"Don't go. There are robbers on the road, and I have to save my life. ”
"How can there be so many robbers. I usually just drive by myself, doesn't nothing happen? ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "You lied to people, you are such a rich man, you will take risks by yourself, it must be your people who work for you, and now you can't find anyone who sells your life, so you want us to go, you are borrowing a knife to kill people." Bring back the gems, your goal has been achieved, and if something happens on the way, we don't have to pay our salary. Don't do it, pay the salary, let's leave. ”
"Look at the four of you, two thousand four a year, three years is seven thousand two, three people are more than twenty thousand, and I can't get any money now. At noon, I asked someone to come and buy gems, and when you got the goods, and the guests gave the money, I will give it to you immediately. ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "Don't do it, you give as much as you have now." ”
"Lao Zhao, you must help me with this, can I add another 50,000? Otherwise, you'll take off my arms and legs. ”
"Add 100,000, $250,000, and we'll make a trip."
"Okay, deal. We brought the goods, and we had one hand of money and one hand of goods. ”
Wuyang asked: "Boss, aren't you afraid that Lao Zhao will take the goods and run away?" ”
The boss smiled and said, "I owe them wages and have come from Colombia to Brazil." They took my goods, and I'm afraid they won't be able to spend money. Lao Zhao, you wait, I'll drive. ”
Soon an Audi car came in, without a license plate, and it looked like it was still produced by a Chinese joint venture. The boss parked the car, "Lao Zhao, this car has only run thousands of kilometers, and the performance is very good, you can accelerate as you like." I'll write you the address, and I'll ask someone from the mine to call me when I arrive. ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "Okay, you can't lie to us anymore." Boss Xie, Boss Li, let's go see the mine together? ”
Xie Daxia smiled and said, "Wuyang, go and have a look, I still have a chance in the future, and it may be difficult for you." ”
"It's okay to go and see, what should Dan and Boss Pei do?"
Pei Lei said: "It's okay, let's go around casually, we know that we will go back to the hotel." Just stay safe on the road. ”
Zhao Jinfu drove off and went out of the city, the speed was not ordinarily fast, except for a little slower in sharp bends, the other sections were 140 and 150. Wuyang has never driven so fast on the highway. 300 kilometers, first of all, the urban area can not be fast, and the mine cannot be fast, a total of only 150 minutes.
Zhao Jinfu went to pick up the goods, and Wuyang and Daxia went to the mine to have a look. In fact, gem mines are similar to other mines, they all dig a hole into the mine, blast the stones and transport them out, and then use a stone crusher to mash them, and then use a basket to load them and pour them on a large table. The mine in Wuyang did not select this process, which was completed by Hu Minbo and Hu Minqiang, so there were many fewer workers, and it was much more thorough than the selection of workers. Workers are selected based on experience, and Minbo scans them with true qi.
Wuyang wanted to take the cable car into the cave to take a look inside, but was stopped by the mine protection team, so he had to stop and look underground. The opening of the vein into the cave is actually the outlet of a lava eruption, and the eruption mouth is very large, with a diameter of more than 50 meters, and now only a hole with a diameter of 5 meters has been opened. The tunnel in the cave is opened in the direction of the vein, but it is much narrower than the vein. The veins are nearly 100 meters wide and 5 or 6 meters high, and the tunnel is only 10 meters wide and less than 3 meters high. The veins have been stretching into the distance, and with the power of the afternoon sun, there is no end in sight. On the ground, the lava flows downward, reaching far beyond the eye, and where it once flowed, it has been covered by dense forests. There are also dotted gems inside. Wuyang thought to himself. It's someone else's stuff anyway. It has nothing to do with me, and it's in vain to see it.
After looking at it for a while, Zhao Jinfu shouted back, and Wuyang found more than a dozen gems in the small stones that had been selected, and put them in his pocket. If the stones on the outside are stripped away, these gems will be enough for this trip.
It is still a car for 5 of them, but there is an escort car in the front and rear. Wuyang knew that the boss would not believe Zhao Jinfu. Probably also don't trust those who escort it. The person in front of the car said, "We'll go for 10 minutes, and then you guys will set off." If there are robbers, we have dollars and weapons with us, and we will find a way to keep you safe. ”
After walking for about half an hour out of the mine, a sound like firecrackers sounded in front, Zhao Jinfu hesitated for a moment, and the speed of the car slowed down. After the car behind caught up and ordered him to go quickly, he had no choice but to move forward.
After walking for a few minutes, there were two cars parked on the side of the road. There were still a few dead people lying next to the car, and Zhao Jinfu said: "It's not a mine car." It's not the people of the mine protection team, we can rest assured. ”
So I increased the speed to the fastest. However, he drove fast, and the escort car behind him was faster, and after a while, he caught up and soon overtook him. Zhao Jinfu said: "They are rabbit cubs, and they can run away faster than anyone else. ”
The hero said, "Haven't the robbers been solved? ”
"Boss, do you think there are only a few? After a while, the people who didn't see them went back, knowing that they had missed, they would definitely chase after them. ”
Wuyang said, "The gems are all in your hands." ”
Zhao Jinfu said: "I'm here in the open, do you think such a big mine can mine such a small dozens of gems in a few months?" There must have been a lot more than mine in the car that passed just now. ”
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion ahead, followed by a dense burst of firecrackers. Zhao Jinfu didn't lose his speed at all, Wuyang estimated that he was bold, because of the victory of the mine protection team just now, which made him bolder, otherwise it was not certain whether there was danger in front, and it was certain that there were chasing soldiers behind, so he could only accelerate forward.
Wuyang's eyesight is good, and he saw the car of the mine protection team in front of him, one was on fire, the door of one car was wide open, and the people in the car were already lying on the road. By the time Zhao Jinfu saw the situation clearly, the two long weapons were already aimed at them. Wuyang saw that there were four other people crawling in the grass on the side of the road, also holding weapons. I thought to myself, if I don't resist today, it can only be a dead end.
Take a few stones and give them to the hero, "You deal with the two in the grass on the left, and I deal with these four." ”
When he opened the door and got out of the car, the stone became a hidden weapon, and in the blink of an eye, the four people did not move, and the hero also solved the other two. Zhao Jinfu's people picked up the weapons on the ground and made fire for them.
Zhao Jinfu was not idle, drove the car of the mine protection team in front, hit the car that was used as a roadblock, and came back immediately. "Boss, Secretary Li, it's strange, they don't have any gems in the car."
The hero said: "No, no, let's go quickly." ”
At a glance, inside the hood, where the windshield water tank is installed, purple gas is emitted. The hood has been knocked out, and it can be opened casually, and a bag of things is taken and quickly get in the car.
Back in Manaus, a few people had dinner at the restaurant, and Wuyang asked for two black plastic bags to pack the gems before returning to the jewelry store.
The boss looked at them like monsters for a while, and it wasn't until Zhao Jinfu handed over the gem that he reacted, "Thank you." Lao Zhao, what about the people and vehicles of the mine protection team? ”
"It was blown up by robbers, and the car was destroyed and people died."
"And how did you get back?"
"They lost both, and let us escape."
"Okay, I'll give you the salary and commission."
Put away the gems and take Zhao Jinfu 3 to the bank. Wuyang and Daxia made their own coffee and drank two cups beautifully before they came back.
The boss walked in and said, "Boss Xie, I didn't know you were the big boss." I heard Lao Zhao say, you also want to mine gem mines, how about I transfer this mine to you? ”
Xie Daxia said: "The security here is too poor, I don't dare to take it." ”
The boss said: "Actually, it's nothing, the main thing is that it's the dry season, the water level of the Amazon River is not high, you can take the waterway in the rainy season, the waterway extends in all directions, and the robbers have no way at all." ”
The hero said, "Then why did you transfer it?" ”
"I'll tell you the truth, my family has some businesses in Taiwan and the United States, and my father is in charge, so I will go out to fish the world by myself. Now that my father is old and ready to hand over the management of the business to my only son, I can't help but go back. (To be continued......)
