Chapter 252: Zhu Qibin Mines Jade
"Wuyang, I'm back." Xiaoya said.
"Where are you now?"
"I was at the airport, I wanted to surprise you, I took a taxi home with my grandfather, but my grandfather suddenly felt unwell. What the? Oh, grandpa said it's okay, I don't have to pick it up, let's take the car back, you can continue the class. ”
"Who?" Yu Huijuan asked.
"Gao Xiaoya, that is, Xiaoya who went to Siberia to purchase wood. It was out of the city at the beginning of May, so I didn't have to work so hard. ”
Yu Huijuan said with a smile: "It's good for young people to go out and wander, isn't this coming back?" You are like this, how can I go out to do things in the future? ”
"Distressed is distressed, it should be out of the air to run, and it has to be run to run, this is something that can't be helped. Who made our business grow too fast? Among you sisters, there are still a few who are quite capable, but after giving birth to children, there is no way to manage them. ”
"Wuyang, I think it should not be like this, I am not responsible for the specific affairs and management of the enterprise now, so that I can stand in a higher position to observe the success or failure of the production and operation of the enterprise, deal with various problems more rationally, and better grasp the direction of enterprise development, and be able to better manage the enterprise for you. Even if I don't stay in the job often in the future, the company can still develop step by step. ”
"The doctor's level is not ordinary, and it is beyond the reach of me and your sisters. Have you eaten well? Okay, let's go home. ”
Yu Huijuan said with a smile: "I won't go back today, Xiaoya will come back, you have been separated for so long, is it better to be newlywed after a long absence." ”
"It's up to you, anyway, the villa is cleaned up. Just waiting for you to check in. You can go back whenever you want. ”
"Afternoon sun. That community is 18 villas, how can there be any? ”
"What I want, it's Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Gao, Xiaoying, Xiaoya, Huang Li, Xiaoli, Uncle Huang and Sister Liu, now with Yan Yuxia, there are only 9 sets, Wang Xiaohui, Wu Fang, Li Shuangyan, Li Xiangyan, Pei Lei are temporarily living here, they will soon go to the United States to give birth, they have American nationality. Qin Xiaoying and Zhang Mengxin, who are at home in Zhongnan, also have American citizens. ”
"Anyway, just keep it for me. After this busy time, I went home to stay. ”
"You should be busy first, I will return to Zhongnan around August 15th, and you are welcome to come to Zhongnan's home."
"Okay, I'll call you first when I have time. The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws. Yu Huijuan smiled and left first.
Wuyang drove back to Jingyun Community and stopped in front of Grandpa Gao's villa.
The sun is like fire, and the knowledge on the big tree is desperately chirping. When I got out of the car at noon, I felt dizzy in front of my eyes, no wonder Grandpa Gao had a problem.
I went in the door and greeted Grandma Gao, saw Grandma cooking porridge, and opened the refrigerator to look. There was watermelon in it, and I went to turn on the air conditioner in Grandpa Gao's room. It's like this for the elderly. Reluctant to spend money.
When I asked my grandmother if she had any medicines such as ten drops of water or Huoxiang Zhengqi water at home, she said that she had them. Seeing that grandma had turned off the fire, he knew that the porridge was ready, so he said, "Grandma, you go and find clothes for grandpa to prepare for the bath, and I will pour out the porridge." ”
Put the porridge in a basin and put it in a large basin with cold water to let the porridge dissipate heat.
Grandma said, "Wuyang, you take Xiaoya's key and turn on the air conditioner for her, you take care of her, you don't have to worry about it here." ”
Wuyang took the key and turned on the air conditioner in the living room and bedroom, and when he saw that the refrigerator was empty, he went back to his grandfather's villa and waited for them.
There are no trees planted on the side of the road in the community, they are all flowers and plants, and now they are a little embarrassed under the hot sun. Wuyang remembered that he should still plant trees, and planted ginkgo trees on both sides of the road, so that he could shade in the summer and not block the sun in the winter.
The taxi drove to the door, Wuyang opened the car door to help Grandpa Gao get out of the car, approached the car, and there was a heat wave coming straight ahead. After paying for the taxi, I quickly picked up my luggage and went into the house.
Grandpa Gao had already recovered in the car, and under the compulsion of his grandmother, he drank Huoxiang Zhengqi water again, and his grandmother took out the watermelon, and Wuyang hurriedly cut it and handed it over.
Seeing that her grandfather was fine, Xiaoya said, "Wuyang, it's sticky, let's go over." ”
Wuyang carried Xiaoya's luggage and went over together. Back at the villa, it was already very cool in the living room, Xiaoya took off her dress, hugged Wuyang, kissed for a while, and the two went upstairs to take a bath. Zhilu Dao Wuyang was very concerned about going out, and Xiaoya began to tell about this trip to Siberia.
When I arrived in Harbin on May 2nd, my grandfather found his old buddy and summoned a small foreman who had been logging in Russia, and they had already begun to pack up and set off immediately. Grandpa asked them about their wages, and the little foreman said that it was 100 yuan per person per day, and he was responsible for food, housing and round-trip expenses. Grandpa said that we are out of 120, do you want to do it?
The little foreman said: "I can do it myself, and I still can't let others be the foreman." ”
Grandpa said, "No problem, it's just that we need a lot of wood, can you find so many people?" ”
In this way, the two talks were settled, and a few of us went to the hinterland of Siberia first, and then the people came to buy logging tools. A total of 310 people went and 300 lumberjacks, and after contacting the forest, logging began. I am in charge of contacting the vehicles and the fleet, and there are already 16 100,000-ton ships at sea, and the earliest estimate will arrive at Tanggu Port tomorrow afternoon or evening.
Wuyang asked, "How many cubic meters of timber can you cut every day?" ”
"Each person can cut more than 150 cubic meters, and then I added 10 yuan a day to the workers, basically more than 200 cubic meters, about 60,000 square meters a day."
"How much can I fit in a car?"
"This kind of wood is not very heavy, so you can load more cars, about 30 square meters, and a boat can be about 50,000 square meters."
"How long can the felling take place?"
"It's usually in mid-September. The car transport to the dock can be uninterrupted all year round, except for a few days when it has just snowed heavily, and the snow can be continued after shoveling the snow and hanging snow chains. In winter, ships are not allowed to enter or leave the port, so they are piled up on the docks, and in the spring, when the sea thaws, there is no thaw on the mountains. Just load the timber on the dock. ”
"How many times a year can a ship transport?"
"After the thaw in late March and before the freeze in late September, we left the port. It can be run 6 times. Not this year. Only 3 trips. I have leased these 16 boats for 3 years, and we will talk about whether to renew the contract after the run. ”
"What price can be shipped to the capital now?"
"Our purchase price is $40 per cubic meter, of course $10 for the officials, $10 per cubic meter for the ship, plus the cost of transportation for the lumberjacks and our own vehicles, and the use of the docks at both ends, which should be $80 to $85 per cubic meter."
Wuyang asked, "Are you going to do it for a long time in the future?" ”
Xiaoya said: "Since you are familiar with the road. It should be done for a long time. After we have enough ourselves, we can sell it, and we don't have to make any effort, and the profit can be doubled. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you, it's just hard for you."
"It's nothing to do, it's rare to get a taste of exoticism. Wuyang, in the Qing Dynasty, it was our Chinese land, when will we be able to come back? ”
"People are snatched by the barrel of a gun. Only when our country is strong can we talk about these things. Otherwise, it's extravagant. ”
At 6 o'clock, Wuyang felt hungry and asked Xiaoya if she was going to eat. Xiaoya said: "As soon as I saw the sun outside the window, I lost my appetite. I called to see if there was anything to eat at my grandfather's house. ”
Wuyang thought that he couldn't just take care of himself, he didn't go home, and when he went home, he would definitely take care of his wife's food. I got dressed and got up, first went to the villa of Shuangshuang and the right person, kissed for a while, and asked how to eat, Shuangshuang said: "Whatever, we are used to eating at Grandpa Qin's house." ”
Wuyang said, "Shall we go out to eat tonight?" ”
He said, "It's going to be a little late, it's too hot now." ”
When she arrived at Yan Yuxia's villa, Yan Yuxia was wearing a maternity dress, her belly was very high, she grabbed Wuyang's hand, let him touch the child, smiled and said, "The child is kicking inside." ”
Wuyang touched it for a while, then put his ear on it and listened, which made Sister Xia laugh.
Huang Li didn't get off work, and Pei Lei was also in Xiaohui and Wu Fang's villa. Wu Fang and Pei Lei's child is more than 1 year old, and when he saw Wuyang entering, he ran over and called his father, Xiaohui's child was not very stable when he walked, but his father also called loudly. Intimate with the 3 children and the children's mother for a while, asking for advice on how to eat, everyone didn't want to go out, so they ate at Grandpa Qin's house.
I went over to call Liu Rong again, and called one by one, I met Huang Li on the road driving home from work, and I saw the female bodyguard sending Relisha home, so I greeted him, and when I arrived at Grandpa Qin's house, it was almost 7 o'clock.
The sun finally went down, and after dinner, everyone went down to the pool to swim, originally each villa had a pool, and everyone preferred to be together. At first, I played with the child, and after a few hours, the child was sent back.
The pool is at the back of the villa, and the pool is surrounded by large trees that have flourished, and then there is the fence, and outside the wall is an office building of a unit, and the lights are dark at night. Relisha began to hug Wuyang, and the two of them were carrying heavy loads and floats in the neck-deep waters, at first everyone didn't care, and then they found out that something was wrong. The secret has been discovered, and everyone is coming.
When the moon stars were scarce, everyone rested separately.
Every wife's villa has Wuyang's clothes, and when she thought of the little mastiff in the Huangli villa, she walked over, "Little Li, have you trained the little mastiff these days?" ”
"I'm still training, and I'm dying of heat. It's now 24 hours on air conditioning. ”
"Yes, indeed, people can't stand it, let alone the little mastiff."
After entering the door to take a shower, I saw what time it was, turned on my mobile phone, and there were more than a dozen missed calls, all of which were from Zhu Qibin, starting from the first one at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the last one, or 2:05. Looking at the electronic clock on the wall, it was only 2:15, so I hurriedly called it. "Qibin, what's the urgency?"
"Big brother, there is nothing urgent, but there are a lot of things that need to be reported, will it affect your thinking?"
"It's okay, you can say it."
"We discovered the jade mine on the fourth day after entering the mountain, 11 days after the last time we spoke to you. After discovering the jade mine, I took people back down the mountain to buy explosives and detonators. Through my uncle, we bought enough things, and then we found the people who smuggled weapons, and bought 10 AK47s and 9,000 rounds of ammunition, and there are wolves in the mountains. ”
"What happened?"
"As we went up the mountain, we noticed that someone was following them because they were blatantly following. So there was a conflict. We beat a few people and drove them away. In this way, our vigilance is also increased. When I went back that night, I sent 10 people to stand guard. The next morning, when we mined the first batch of jade. More than 20 people came, loaded with guns and fully armed. “
Wuyang asked, "Do you have inner ghosts, otherwise how would they be able to find you?" ”
"Big brother, there must be no ghosts, we are all in the original team, so we didn't recruit one on the way or locally. They came in following our ruts. ”
"How did you deal with these people?"
"Many of our veterans went straight to Myanmar from the army, and this time they came here again, and their uniforms were in their marching backpacks. Standing guard in the morning is wearing military uniform. Therefore, when people see that they are soldiers, they first understand our internal situation. Our veterans told them that we were a mining detachment of the prospecting unit, carrying out tasks here, and hoped that they would leave. Otherwise, they will be responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom. ”
"What do they say?"
"These people in the area are probably the private armies of some big mine owners or armed mine grabbers who have gathered together. They may not be afraid of the Public Security Bureau, but the prestige of our troops was established in the early days of liberation, and they retreated without brushing the tiger's beard. But we have been for two months. People who go out to buy rice, vegetables, and machinery and equipment. All in military uniforms. Although it is convenient, it is not a long-term solution after all. ”
"You didn't have an armed conflict with anyone else, did you?"
"Conflict is inevitable. We persuaded some of the three or five people to retreat, and some small groups of more than 10 people, all of them were outlaws, and they opened fire at every turn, and we had to defend ourselves and wounded them. ”
"Qi Bing, something big will happen in this way, or let's retreat."
"It's fine. We understand from the side that such things happen often and normally, no one reported the crime, and no one pursues it. Originally, it was normal to enter the mountains, encounter wolves, avalanches, or not find a way home, and cannibalism also happened from time to time. That day we caught a badly wounded bandit and confessed the name of the boss. ”
"Who is it?"
"I asked my uncle today, and my uncle said that he was a mining tyrant with more than 100 people, who had been fighting against the government for a long time, often robbing miners, and doing all kinds of evil."
"Qibin, what are you going to do?"
"The veterans discussed and prepared to take the initiative to eliminate this group of bandits. Once. ”
"Qi Bing, as long as people don't mess with you in the future, don't do anything more. Besides, after all, this kind of thing is a matter of human life, and if people don't mess with us, we have no right to enforce the law on behalf of the state. If the powerful organs of the state ask you to cooperate, then it will be carried out unconditionally. ”
"That's right, anyway, we can prevent it by pulling out 60 people now, if it causes an incident, the government will disarm us, and the mine will not be able to open."
"What veins have you found now?"
"I wandered around the mountains for a month and found a lot of ore veins, but they are not too small, or the grade of jade is not high, only two ore veins must be mined, and the other ones we will keep first, and then we will mine them when there are no big ore veins in the future."
"Are you mining one of two now?"
"Yes. This vein is distributed on a rock wall on one side of a valley, the length stretches for about 12 kilometers, intermittently, the jade mine is about 11 kilometers, and the distance between the jade is sometimes several meters, the width of the jade vein is between two meters and 5 meters, and the thickness is between 3 meters and 7 meters. Big brother, this is a white jade vein, white jade is greasy and greasy, some are slightly yellow, some are pure white, and some are slightly light blue, commonly known as mutton fat white jade is this kind of jade. It is the best in Hetian jade. ”
"How long have you mined veins now?"
"About 3 km. We started by preparing as we mined, and we bought a lot of supplies. Generators, stone cutters, tankers, etc., delayed some time. At present, the daily progress of the 8 working faces is about 80 meters, mainly because the ore vein is on the rock wall, and the wheeled car cannot go up, and the mined jade must be transported to the storage point by machinery. ”
"It will take another four months to say this, and it won't be done this year."
"That's for sure. Big brother, we're going to mine here in the winter, and we won't go back. We are here, and there are still people who come to rob them, and if we go back for the winter, they will be mined out, which is a pity. ”
"How do you survive the winter at minus 40 degrees?"
"We have the facilities here for the winter. People have lived in the cave, the exhaust pipe of the generator passes through the cave, and the temperature inside will be around 15 degrees; There is a small hot spring in the valley here, the flow is not large, but the water temperature is relatively high, we built a reservoir downstream, the diesel tank is installed under the pool, the diesel will not freeze, anyway, our machinery and equipment do not turn off for 24 hours, there should be no problem. ”
"The main problem is in terms of what people eat?"
"Yes. Big brother, most of us are southerners, we like to eat pork, and it is very greasy to eat mutton and beef every day, and it is not easy to buy, and the quality of rice is not good. So I thought about it, please send a car to bring rice and pork over and take away the jade. At the beginning of September, another car was sent to transport some Chinese cabbage, potatoes and canned sauerkraut, as well as chili sauce, chopped chili peppers, dried chili peppers, fish and so on, as for rice and flour, you calculate, just two catties per person per day. It will be thawed in mid-April next year and sent back again. ”
"These things are easy to do, I'll call tomorrow and ask them to arrange them. How many vehicles are needed for the jade that has already been mined? ”
"Of course, the more vehicles, the better, how many can the company send?"
"I think at least a thousand, maybe two thousand."
"Big brother, we must send some military vehicles to open the way, don't we have so many military vehicles?" (To be continued......)
