Chapter 317: Preparing for the Mining of Gem Mines
"In the mountains of Mandalay, there are streams, and the first gem was found in the streams, which is corundum, which is harder than jadeite. The way people look is to look in the stream, just like in the northwest to find nephrite, rummaging through the pebbles of the stream, and then slowly, people start to look from the downstream all the way upstream, and when they reach a place where there are no gemstones, they stop, and then they start mining. β
Wuyang said: "After so many years, it should be almost mined, right?" Is there any point in our past? β
"Big brother, in the past, northern Myanmar has been in constant war, and people have not paid too much attention to the mining of gemstones, and the main sales place of gems is our country, and the gem fever has risen in our country, that is, in the past 20 years, the place where gems are produced is so big, and there are not a few really powerful bosses to mine, so we still have a lot to do in the past."
"Qibin, are you sure that Brother Mao will be able to contact him?"
"There should be no problem, their local government welcomes merchants to mine, besides, before you go over, make a phone call to contact Brother Mao, if it doesn't work, forget it."
"That's just as well. Qi Qibin, if I found more than one mine in the past, did I buy them all? β
"Don't be in a hurry to buy them all, the barren mountains and mountains have to send a lot of people to guard them. We buy a mine, build roads, install equipment, start mining, and when production is normal, we can buy another one, and then we will continue to do this, expanding one by one. This way there will be enough people available. β
"Qibin, we have mined the gem, will it be transported by road or by helicopter?"
"Big brother. Didn't Brother Xie have that kind of small plane? I think. It would be better to transport it to Mandalay airport in an armored car. It is then transported back to the country in a small plane. β
"Armored cars, you're kidding, where are we going to get them? If you get someone, the Myanmar government won't get out of the way. β
"Of course, you can't really drive armored vehicles. We can convert the Humvee into an armored car. Reinforcement of the nose and compartment with 5 cm thick steel plates, and when you go to the army to find a way to buy some special tires, you can basically use them. β
"What special tires?"
"Big brother, you don't know yet, the comrades in the army all know that since the 64 incident in 89, the army has developed a tire that is not afraid of bullets, explosions, burning, and inflation. The troops have long been equipped. The last time the army sold to the company's decommissioned vehicles, this kind of tire was used. In the northwest, when the criminals exchanged fire with us, they began to shoot the tires with guns, and if the tires were flattened, it would be fake, and the consequences would be unimaginable. The good thing we are the real guys. β
Wuyang smiled: "It turns out that there are still these doorways, where can I figure it out?" Somewhere is it sold now, hurry up and buy it. β
"There is a troop car warehouse in our province, and there are many of these tires in it. The point is that it will not be taken out, we only have a relationship with guΓ² to get the old. After getting it. Since its wheels are different from the Hummer, the Humvee's wheels can only be changed. β
"Okay, you go buy a few Hummers in the next two days, and I'll find a way to get tires."
Zhu Qibin said with a smile: "Big brother, you are too acute, I don't know when the mine was opened in the past, besides, there are not many car malls in Heyuan, are there Hummers?" When the time came, the tires came back and were modified in a few days. β
"Okay, that's it. Do you have enough money to go to Myanmar? Not enough for me to pass it on to you. Also, you gave me the invitation letter, and I went to the day before the public conference, Qiu Xiaomu and Zhang Yibo contacted you, as long as they didn't delay their work, let them go over to play for a few days, and they would also have itchy hands. β
"Okay. Big brother, Brother Mao's wife gave birth to a son this time, when you go over, remember to bring a gift over, preferably a gold longevity lock, ankle bracelet, bracelet or something. I know you have a lot of gold, but it's not easy to leave the country with a whole piece. β
"Okay, I'm leaving, let's see you in Myanmar. Qibin, are these ladies of yours going back this time? β
"The child is too young to take with him, so he won't go back this time."
Leave the villa and drive around the industrial park. Seeing that the hospital has even hung up banners, it is estimated that it will open in the next few days. He Hongmei, the mother-in-law of the Pei family, did not inform him, knowing that he would not join in the fun.
Passing by the car factory, the battery of the electric car has not yet passed, and the vehicle cannot be sold at all, but it is only given to the city bus joint-stock company 500 units, running on the city bus line, and still breaking down. The 100 vehicles that were originally intended to be given to the Organizing Committee of the National Games in Yangcheng for conference affairs have been transported to Yangcheng, but they have been returned.
The assembly of truck parts bought by Guo Zhiping has basically ended, and 10,000 cars have been taken away from within the company, and some related units and affiliated enterprises have not given what they need, let alone sold to the outside world, so Guo Zhiping went to Europe immediately after the year.
The situation of off-road vehicles is much better, from the start of production to the establishment of a sales network across the country, there has been a boom in production and sales, and there is almost no inventory of finished vehicles.
When I arrived near the two real estate development communities, I encountered a lot of concrete trucks. It's all the vehicles of my uncle's company, delivering concrete to the construction site. Uncle now has 15 concrete mixing towers, and more than 200 cars are transported non-stop every day. When Wuyang greeted his uncle for the New Year, he joked: "Uncle, you have made a fortune just by producing concrete." β
Li Qiuhua said: "I just earn 5 yuan per ton, the cement and sand and gravel are all yours, you see how much you earn?" β
Wuyang smiled: "I didn't calculate this account, I just invested less." When the time comes, the house is sold, you will know. β
Li Qiuhua said: "Wuyang, you can hoard gold and jewelry, don't leave the house for sale, if the price drops sharply, there will be no place for you to cry." β
Wuyang said: "I didn't leave a house in Lujiang at all, it was just not built. After two years, all of them will be sold after they are built. β
"That's what I'm saying, it's up to you to decide how to deal with it."
Now I see that the entire construction site is full of tower cranes and scaffolding, and I think of Xiaolin again. I don't know what happened to him. This guy. Not even a phone call. But I don't have time today, I have to go to Guo Xiangli.
Along the embankment of the small river, to the outside of the villa complex, workers are building a fence. Guo Xiangli stood by and watched. Seeing Wuyang get out of the car, Guo Xiangli said: "Wuyang, today is work time, why did you come here?" β
"There's something looking for you, why are you staying here?"
Guo Xiangli said: "There is no way now. Building a fence is a task that cannot be done in the slightest. But these construction teams, as long as we are not on site, cut corners. Either there is no tung oil lime hook between each green brick, or some broken bricks are used as good bricks, so that we dare not leave for a moment. Now there are three construction sites, and my father-in-law, my wife and I, each guarding one and going in and out with them. β
"Brother-in-law, in that case, why don't you change the construction team?"
Guo Xiangli said: "Changed." Last year, the team that built the villa was driven out by me, and this is the third time. They always think. This is not housing, there is no need to do it so well, no matter how you say it, it will fall on deaf ears. β
"This question is strict, otherwise you can pay them hourly wages. Otherwise, I'll send some of my brothers and sisters over to guard them. β
Guo Xiangli said: "It's not that I haven't tried the matter of hourly wages, they don't say anything about their attendance, they still try to save trouble, and they will casually pour the materials of the hook seams." It's better to send a few people who are particularly responsible. β
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to arrange another job for you, what do you think?"
Guo Xiangli said: "It's okay. These construction teams have a stomach of opinions on me, and I myself feel bored, you transfer a few responsible brothers over, and after I inspect them, I feel relieved and I will leave. Is it that the financial building in the center of the city has started and needs me to come over? β
"No, I originally arranged for you to be in charge of the financial building, but you can't leave here, and the work can't be delayed, so I will arrange another person. This time I'm going to arrange for you to go to a mine, and the main job is to mine and crush stones. β
"Broken stones? Do? β
"That's right, our company is going to build a factory there, but there is no river nearby, and it takes dozens of kilometers to take river sand, so we will solve part of it nearby."
Guo Xiangli smiled: "Wuyang, don't lie to me, which one is more expensive to take river sand or broken stones, fools know." β
Wuyang smiled: "This is a somewhat far-fetched reason. Brother-in-law, after I sued you, you just can't even say to my sister and uncle, can you promise me? β
"Well, out of your mouth, into my ears, if I let a third person know, the sky will thunder."
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to swear, I just know who you are, so I came to you. Otherwise, so many relatives, clansmen, and brothers, I won't look for you. β
"Thank you for your trust."
Wuyang whispered: "Brother-in-law, it is actually the stone on that mountain that has diamonds in it. While I was walking up the mountain, I accidentally kicked a rock and found a diamond in it, which I had just given to my cousin to cut and process. I guess there might be more in it, so I wanted to go to the rock to get the diamond. β
"It's a matter of uncertainties, so don't be thankless."
"Don't be afraid, I have this diamond, the cost has already come back, the big deal is that it doesn't make money."
"And how are you going to mine?"
"I think the most important thing is not to let the workers see the broken stones, no one knows that these diamonds are in that stone, in case there are diamonds in the broken stones, just for the workers to see, quietly pick them up, we can't find them, so we do it in vain."
Guo Xiangli said: "There is a way to do this. I set up the place where the gravel was stored under a steep stone wall, surrounded by something, and when the stone was broken, it fell directly underneath so that the workers could not see it at all. β
"Yes, yes, that's the way. It's not far from us, and I'll go over every once in a while, and the two of us will look for it in the rubble, and then we will transport the gravel away and mix it with concrete. Brother-in-law, let's discuss how to pay you, do you think it will pay you a salary or dividends? β
"Wuyang, the dividends are too difficult to calculate, just tell me how much money a month you have."
"How about 10 million a month?"
Guo Xiangli smiled: "Wuyang, aren't you making fun of me?" β
"Brother-in-law, it's definitely not lying to you, it's just so much. Think about it, if you dig up a diamond, it's a few million. The big ones may be in the tens of millions. Your salary. It's just a small diamond. Besides, if you don't have a sense of responsibility and let the workers pick up one, what a loss. Maybe you'll have a few months' worth of salary. β
"Then I have to call my parents and parents-in-law over to guard them."
"Brother-in-law, it's unnecessary, aren't we just breaking stones, the more you are soldiers, the more suspicious people are. The more likely it is to go wrong. β
Guo Xiangli smiled: "It's this reason, I can only tighten it inside and loosen it outside." β
"That's all. Brother-in-law, I'm leaving, and I'll have someone replace you in two days. After you get out, call me, and I will arrange for the company to give you money to buy machinery and equipment, recruit troops, and go over when you get it. β
When I returned home, Grandpa Zhang, Jiang Puwei and the 6 junior brothers left, and there were many people missing. It's still early. The babysitters are leading the children to play.
Dad came over and said, "Wuyang, I'll go out tomorrow too." This time it won't be long, and I'll be back in half a month. β
"Dad, I've been busy and haven't cared about your foundation's affairs, please forgive me."
"It's okay. Now that the Foundation's structure is sound and functioning normally, there is nothing that needs your help. β
"You must have done a lot of things in more than a year."
"It's okay. One is the income, last year to speculate in stocks, your daughter-in-law helped to speculate in futures, made a lot of money, and now the foundation's cash, stocks, futures plus fixed assets, has exceeded 100 billion, of course, part of it is brought by the appreciation of fixed assets. Second, in terms of fixed asset investment, we have built 21 schools, of course, not as large as Lujiang, but it is also quite large, at least tens of thousands of schools, and the office buildings of the foundation general association and various branches have basically been built; The third is to build some shopping malls, markets and street frontage for rent, and in the future, there will be a lot of income every year, and investment in the construction of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery production bases, which can supply schools and make some money. β
"Dad, how are the people at your Foundation?"
"Personnel, that's the biggest problem. In the past, I relied too much on people in the civil service, thinking that they were highly educated, well-informed and experienced. But after such a long period of actual work, I found that they were the ones who could not do the work the most. Procrastination and fatigue, bureaucratic habits, yamen style, in a word, there is not enough success, and there are more failures. β
"And how did you deal with it?"
"The retirees who were originally hired were basically dismissed at the end of last year, and the borrowed ones were also sent back, and now the staff, more than 95%, are recruited college students, master's students and doctoral students, as well as some old teachers and agricultural technicians. These people seem to be inferior to civil servants, but in fact, one officer can top 10. Although the Foundation's personnel are much less, the efficiency of the work is still higher. β
"Dad, the fact that you're able to adjust your personnel to the actual situation shows that your ability to lead the Foundation is sufficient. I have such an idea that I am ready to hand over most of the company's business to the Foundation. Industries such as steel companies, automobiles, and cement can be handed over when you can take over. I am also preparing to build a number of hospitals, which will also be handed over to the Foundation. But my talent can't be handed over, and I don't have enough myself, so you try to cultivate talent and take it over as soon as possible. β
Li Shihua said with a smile: "I will spend 3 years cultivating talents, and I will take it over when the time comes." However, these are your big profits, and they are all given to me, aren't you without profits? β
"No, I have more than 20 companies under Huijuan, which will start production this year, and the future development prospects will definitely be good. However, it will also be handed over later. In the end, I was left with only a hotel, a gold and jewelry store, and a manufacturer of large aircraft and accessories that was under construction. Especially those real estate development projects, I plan to start selling next year, and sell one less one. In the future, these brothers under his command will grow in their wings, and if they want to do it, let them do it themselves. β
"I heard Wu Fang and her mother say that they are going to set up a bank, is it true?"
"Yes, they have just gone out in the past few days, to buy local banks in various places, and then to buy listed financial companies in the stock market in the second half of the year. Our country's reform and opening up will eventually open up the banking industry, and without the opening up of the banking industry, there can be no real opening up. β
Li Shihua said: "Whether you run a bank, you can at least support the development of your own company." However, if we want to do it, we must go to Dali and strive to enter the top 10 of the world's banking industry, otherwise the financial turmoil like that in the past few years will disappear as soon as it comes, which is a pity. β
"If you want to do this, you can only go abroad to buy bank shares and develop through backdoor."
Li Shihua said: "If you want to do it like this, there is no hesitation, the opportunity is fleeting, Mengxin and they will not go out immediately, just let them understand the information, and spend money to buy information." Don't you still have so much money in the futures market, it's not interesting to rely on others to make money, it's your ability to make money yourself. β
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and talk to them."
Seeing Mengyu, Wuyang told the matter of the wall of the villa group, and asked the senior brothers what else was in Lujiang, and he wanted to send a few to guard it.
Mengyu said: "Wuyang, I said that you are too, what are you keeping?" Find a reason to fire them, and let the construction team of the senior brothers take over. You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it tomorrow. β
Talking to Qin Xiaoying about running a bank abroad, Qin Xiaoying said: "That's it, why didn't we think of doing it first in the United States, but we ran back to do it, wouldn't we put the cart before the horse." Ginger is still old and spicy. β
Pei Lei also said: "If we buy a bank in Europe and the United States, and then allow foreign banks to come in in the future, we will come back immediately, it's not the same." β
Wuyang said: "I support everything you do, and the money in the futures market will be handed over to you from today on." β
Fu Ying said: "What about the money deposited in the Hong Kong bank? β
"I'll leave it to you, too."
Wu Fang smiled: "Okay, Wuyang, this is your private money, is it the wife you kept, and you are still going to marry your wife?" β
Wuyang said: "Wife, I am enough, I can't marry anymore, I am reserved to build a big plane, since you open a bank, I need money to ask you for a loan." But that's enough money for you to open a few banks. β
Pei Lei said: "We will open a few more, the Asian financial turmoil is coming, we have Europe and the United States, the European financial turmoil is coming, we have the Americas and Asia, anyway, we will be invincible." β
Shuangshuang said: "I won't participate in your great cause with the right pair, let's manage the garment city." In the event of a global financial crisis, our family will still have money for food. β
Xiaohui smiled: "This is our fundamental foothold." β
Qin Xiaoying said: "If you get to that Cheng dΓΉ, I think it's good to farm and grow vegetables in Heyuan, and I can fill my stomach no matter what." β
Wuyang smiled: "In this way, we should be even more indomitable." β
Qin Xiaoying said: "Only you can move forward, we can't." β
"Xiaoying, I really admire you, you can contact you in this direction for anything." Wuyang said, and his hand reached into his clothes. (To be continued......)
