"Brother Ding, about thirty kilometers past here, is where the gold is buried on the map."

Qian Le's words made Wang Ding stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced up and down, the upper and lower rail cars were still dozens of meters away from him, and then he looked in the direction of Qian Le's finger.

"That's Savage Mountain?"

In the direction of Qian Le's finger, Wang Ding could only see the continuous mountains, lush forests, and towering trees rising from the ground, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.

"Yes, that's the direction."

"It looks so eerie."

"yes, it doesn't look like this treasure hunt will go well."

The distance between the people in front and behind was relatively far, and Qian Le was not afraid of being heard by them, so he pointed to a mountain in the distance and said: "If my visual inspection is not wrong, thirty kilometers is almost the distance from here to that mountain......"

"Ahh

Although Wang Ding had been mentally prepared for a long time, but after looking at the mountain, he still gasped in his mouth, he didn't think that he could see it from here, and he could easily find it, as the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, this thirty kilometers distance is much more difficult than he imagined.

"Actually, this is already a savage mountain, and you can get there from the bottom of the mountain, but I don't know if there is a path to walk on the road, otherwise, I'm afraid three or four hours will not be enough to ...... back and forth."

Qian Le also frowned, from here, all the mountain roads are and there are jungles everywhere, Qian Le is not afraid of getting lost. But the beasts, the vipers, and the miasma of the jungle can kill people. The two of them want to hunt for treasure, and maybe their lives will be lost.

When Wang Ding heard Qian Le's words, his heart was also half cold, although gold is attractive, but life is more important, Wang Ding is not a person who is short of money, the reason why he found here. It's all curiosity in my heart, and now when I see this situation, my heart has retreated.

Qian Le nodded silently. He was curious about the gold, but he wasn't greedy.

The speed of the ascent of this rail car is very slow, and it does not look very high on the mountain, but the slope is very long. Half an hour later. before ascending to the top of the mountain.

The entire top of the mountain has been razed to the ground and turned into a huge platform, and there are still seven or eight "strange hands" excavators.

There are several types of work on the mountain, some people follow the strange hand excavator to inspect the jadeite rough, some people punch holes and blast in the mountain, and some people go up and down several deep pits. Anyway, in addition to Wang Ding and Qian Le, who just came up, even Wu Gang and the two taught skills. It's all busy.

At this time, the two professors squatted on the ground and examined the excavated rocks to determine the crustal conditions at which they were generated, so as to analyze whether this was the environment where jadeite grows, and after a while, it is estimated that they will have to go down to the pit to check.

"How about it, brother, this is the jade mine, this is our territory, you can look at it casually, no one will stop you, and help the old brother to see, is this a waste mine?"

After Wu Gang saw Wang Ding coming up, he called a person in charge of the mountain to accompany the two professors and walked over to Wang Ding himself.

"Brother Wu, I'm just here to play, but I don't have the ability to go to see the ore veins......"

"It's okay, you can just go around, the most you can do is to shut down this mine......"

Wu Gang's face showed a wry smile, this sentence is simple, but if it is really turned off, then the Wu family will be greatly injured.

"If you don't invest much, it's okay to turn it off...... Wang Ding said.

"Not much investment? Brother, I invested 80 million US dollars in it, in addition to the money paid to the government, it is these infrastructures, which cost almost 200,000 US dollars, if I can't mass-produce jadeite, this time my brother will be miserable......"

Wang Ding is his own person, and Wu Gang is not afraid of blowing himself up, and he said all the words that have been pressed in his heart for a long time. Eight...... Eighty million dollars? So many? ”

Wang Ding was taken aback when he heard this, according to the current market exchange rate, this number is really not small, the total value of his new jade mine in Xinjiang is only about 150 million, and the investment is only tens of millions, I didn't expect the investment in this jade mine to be so huge. "Alas, brother, I made a mistake this time...... Wu Gang sighed and told Wang Ding the ins and outs of this matter.

It turned out that this new mine was jointly explored by Myanmar's major jadeite companies and the government, and various exploration results showed that this mine contained extremely rich jadeite veins, which can be called the largest mine in Myanmar, so when bidding in the later stage, it attracted major companies to bid frantically.

Because the old pits of the Wu Gang family had been mined almost, and the new mine was not expanded, and when the mine was explored, the Wu company also had people involved, and it was unanimously considered that it was a rich mine, so Wu Gang spent a lot of money to win the mining rights of this mine.

In addition to paying nearly $200,000 in exploration costs for all the companies combined, a deposit of $6 million was paid to the Government of Myanmar.

Coupled with the initial investment here, the total cost has reached 80 million US dollars, and if there is no income, the Wu company will lose a lot this time.

Because the Burmese military government still owns 10 percent of the dry shares, the minimum standard amount of dividends is clearly written in the bidding documents, that is, there is no output, and the Wu company also needs to pay money to the government, unless the mine is sold to Lu, but in the current situation, no one is stupid, and no one will take over at all.

"Brother Wu, the price you paid for buying this mineral flower is too great, right? It is understandable to pay exploration fees, and it is normal to pay a deposit, but the government's 10% shares are waiting for dividends, which is too harsh. ”

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Ding shook his head again and again, the jade mine he cooperated with the Jade Lord had nothing to do with the government at all, but I heard that a document was issued recently. The government is also about to start rectifying, but it will not move the mines that have been mined in the early stage.

No need for Wang Ding to say. Wu Gang has long regretted it, but the contract has been signed, if he unilaterally tears up the contract, it will be suppressed by the Myanmar government and all mining companies, which will be much more serious than paying the Myanmar government a little money every year.

"Angkor, you are an upfront investment. Didn't the government pay for it? ”

"They pay? Joke, they are poor and expect money out of our pockets......"

The military junta in Myanmar is, to put it bluntly, careless. In this part of Myanmar, there is no such thing as a tax, so the Burmese government is almost as poor as a flower child, in order to support the army. It can only be a desperate sale of resources.

The main income of the treasury. Naturally, these resource companies, if they want to mine new mines, they have to get the consent of the government, and there are enough benefits to do it, they just ask for money, and they don't ask anything else, you just hollow out the whole of Myanmar, and they don't ask a word.

"This ...... Is that okay too? Wang Ding was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"What is this. If you want to talk about trade between Myanmar and China, it is even more outrageous. Do you know what the pattern of trade distribution between the two sides looks like? Wang Ding shook his head.

"That is, the Chinese side takes everything, and the Burmese people have nothing...... Wu Gang did not know whether he should be proud of his motherland or feel sad for the selenium he lives in. Wang Ding was already dumbfounded at this time, is it okay to dare to do this business?

As mentioned earlier, Myanmar is basically a semi-divided anarchic country, with an annual revenue of only 200 million yuan, which is about half a university in China.

Therefore, the Burmese government has neither the ability to quell the separatism, for the Burmese government, war is an unimaginable luxury, nor is it capable of dealing with disasters, while the Chinese government's Haodan for an earthquake is often calculated by more than 100 billion yuan.

Myanmar is even less capable of asserting its economic sovereignty, and any large Chinese company is richer than the Burmese government.

At the same time, because Myanmar has traditionally had no tax burden, the military junta did not dare to levy various taxes for the sake of political stability, and as a result, the tax law was in vain, and the state treasury had no source at all.

In this specific situation of Myanmar, the government has problems even maintaining the formal financial resources of the state, so the only way out for all levels of government, from the central to the local level, is to sell resources.

Wang Ding did not expect that Myanmar, which had always been a vassal state of China in ancient times, would be so poor.

Burmese have few people and many lands, but they are extremely rich in resources, especially the reserves of precious wood and underground gems, which can be ranked among the top few in the world.

According to what Wu Gang said, the main content of the current Sino-Burmese border trade is that the Burmese dig out the jadeite ore from the depths of the mountains, cut down teak, yew and other precious trees, and sell them to Chinese merchants waiting on the sidelines, and the Chinese ship them back to China to make jewelry and furniture, and then use the money earned to help the Burmese build roads one by one in order to dig more jade and cut down more trees deeper into the mountains.

As a result, the Burmese used their own labor, dug out their own resources, gave them to the Chinese, and in the end they only got one road, and this road is likely to be controlled by Chinese businessmen, and in the future, the descendants of the Burmese will take this road, maybe they will have to pay all the time!

"Brother Wu, what you said isn't true, right?"

Wu Gang said these things, Wang Ding never dreamed of it, dare to love our country is so powerful, of course, this means is a bit unworthy of the table.

"How is it not true? If you ask a friend who does border trade, you will know that Chinese is actually very kind......"

Wu Gang has grown so big, maybe he sighs the most today, speaking of these things, his psychology is also more complicated, after all, one country is his roots, and the other country is the place where he was born and raised, and he can't tell which side he is heading. "Kind?"

Wang Ding was confused by Wu Gang, making other people's money and using other people's things, why doesn't it match the word kindness?

After Wu Gang's explanation, Wang Ding understood that it was really kind to dare to love China's trade method.

Because China has also left behind something tangible in Myanmar that will help Myanmar gradually achieve economic integration with China, and maybe in a few years, Myanmar will be able to rely on China to transport a big ship. Get some more tangible benefits.

Compared with the trade methods of China and Myanmar, the United States has a worse way of controlling Latin America, and it has actually beaten a super-resource-rich country like Brazil to the death. Not to mention taking away other people's resources for nothing, and leaving Brazilians in debt.

From Wu Gang's mouth, Wang Ding heard something that seemed to be a fantasy: Brazil was once forced to use more than 50 percent of the country's tax revenue to repay the interest on American loans...... Well, it's just enough to repay the interest.

Compared with Lao Mei, China is indeed kind, and Wang Ding also understands. Those who dare to love Lao Mei want to be an international policeman all day long, fight in the east and send troops in the west, which also has interests to occupy.

The Myanmar junta now. They can only make an idea from these domestic Jinyuan companies, and they have very tight control over domestic communications, because it is related to whether the government has anything to eat. Wang Ding couldn't imagine it. The government of a country. It's actually mixed up to this extent.

This jadeite mine has been mined for nearly three months, and Wu Gangyun is indeed a little sleepy for a while, because so far, the amount of jadeite rough that has been dug out contains jadeite is quite small, although it is not ruled out that the reason for not finding the vein, but it is also very likely to be a waste mine.

Wu Gang in recent years, in Southeast Asia as well as China and Taiwan. All of them have founded jewelry companies, and the investment amount is very large. And because the company has been in business for a short time, it has not yet started to make profits, and after the 80 million US dollars were taken out, he became a little stretched in terms of funds.

The Wu family can occupy a place in Myanmar, and it also needs money, not to mention anything else, but the annual expenses of the Chinese town are astronomical.

In fact, Wu Gang's current idea is very simple, as long as the people in the family can live well, it will be done.

However, the current situation is very bad, if this mine is really a waste mine, Wu Gang is ready to break the wrist of the strong man and return it to the Myanmar government, and the previous investment will be regarded as a loss, it is better than continuing to throw money into it like a bottomless pit, and then emigrate, and the Myanmar government will not be able to control it.

With the financial resources of the Wu family, it is too simple to invest in immigration, but they have been rooted in Myanmar for hundreds of years, and there are many followers, so they really can't leave.

After talking to Wu Gang, he also went to see the ore veins, and Wang Ding himself began to take a closer look at the quarried rough stones, he followed behind a group of people, and the pair followed behind the strange hand excavator, using iron drills or eyes to identify the stones shoveled out by the excavator, whether they were jade rough stones.

The way they identified it was very simple, that is, to poke it with an iron drill, to see the imprints left and listen to the sound, maybe this mine was really a waste mine, Wang Ding followed them and watched for more than half an hour, and saw with the aura in his eyes that there was no jade rough stone appearing.

And these people also have some real skills, at least for half an hour, they did not put a stone on the cart, presumably using their unique method to identify.

After Wang Ding looked at it for a while, he felt a little bored, and went around in another direction, with his back to Qian Le, and looked underground with his eyes.

Wang Ding's eyes, once in Mandela's temple, have been inexplicably improved, and now he can see through objects that are nearly 100 meters away, he wants to help Wu Gang to see if there are jade veins within the range of 30 meters underground.

After looking at several places in succession, Wang Ding shook his head and left, the rock layers here are basically all pyroxene rocks, and it stands to reason that there should be ore veins, but Wang Ding did not see a relatively concentrated jade vein except for a few scattered jadeite.

Although this mountain is not small, after wandering around for more than an hour, Wang Ding has basically looked at the underground that is being mined, and there is no kind of exciting vein.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Ding was just picking up stones all over the ground, and not many people paid attention to him, and when it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no receipt, and Wu Gang and everyone were ready to go down the mountain.

The two professors, Ma and Liang, had already taken the lead in the car, while Wu Gang was not very good, waiting for Wang Ding.

"What's the matter, Brother Wu, the two teaching skills are not optimistic?" Wang Ding stepped forward and asked.

"I stayed for one night today, and I had to observe for a few more days, but Professor Ma said that when these pyroxenes are generated at low temperature and high pressure, it is likely that the pressure is not enough, which leads to the change of the growth environment of thistle......

This news really made Wu Gang unhappy, he had invested tens of millions of dollars, and if there were no veins, all the money would have to be wasted.

Wang Ding didn't have anything to say to comfort Wu Gang, because he looked at this vein, and it didn't seem to be optimistic.

turned around and got on the rail car with Qian Le and Wu Gang, and slowly drove down the mountain, which took nearly an hour.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and there was no scenery to see, so Wang Ding was bored and cast the daylight on the mountain wall above. Winter in Myanmar is the dry season, usually no rain for several months, when the sun sets in the west, red fire clouds appear in the sky, half of the sky seems to be ignited by the fire, really beautiful.

Wang Ding, who was standing on the rail car, found that Qian Le and Wu Gang beside him were all reflected in golden yellow, and even the mountain rocks in front of him were also red, and the lush forest in the distance was also covered with a golden coat.

The fire cloud did not last long, it disappeared after a few minutes, and the rail car was still moving down the mountain, and it was difficult to descend to the bottom of the mountain for less than ten minutes.

Due to the mineral veins, Wu Gang's mood was not very good, Wang Ding and Qian Le did not speak, and there was only the sound of the mountain wind blowing in their ears.

Boredom, Wang Ding looked at the balanced four railroad tracks, the four rails are about four meters wide, plus the surrounding cleaned up, a total of more than six meters wide, and the total length of this slope should be nearly a thousand meters or so.

The trees along the way have been cut down, and there are some small stones under the railroad tracks, and being able to open such a track on such a steep mountain shows how big Wu Gang's investment was in the early stage. (To be continued......)
