Chapter 82: The Old Pit (I)
"Boss Li, as long as there is money to be made, if there is anything I need to do, you can just talk about it, and I will try my best to do a good job." Mao Dashan said.
Wuyang called Company Commander Mao to a place and said his thoughts: "I want to try mining jadeite in the old pit I saw in the morning, and I want to ask Brother Mao to help me contact and dredge the relationship, if it works, I will ask Brother Mao to manage the mine." Before the jadeite was mined, I paid a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan to Brother Mao, and if I couldn't mine it, I would keep paying my salary. When it's mined, we'll split it up. Ten pieces of wool, seven pieces for me, three pieces for Brother Mao, do you think it's okay? ”
Mao Dashan asked: "How to pay for other expenses?" ”
"All the expenses are mine, in short, you don't need to pay a penny from Brother Mao, your task is to dredge up the relationship and manage the mine."
"Boss Li, if that's the case, the share you give me is too high. No matter how I am a working boy, you give me 3% of the dividend, which is not in line with the rules. Mao Dashan said.
"What's the rule? My word is the rule. Wuyang said.
At this time, Company Commander Mao spoke: "I think so, although Xiao Li is very generous, my brother can't go too far in this regard." Before the jadeite was mined, the monthly salary was 10,000 yuan, and after the jadeite was mined, my brother accounted for one percent, that is, ten pieces of wool were mined, and my brother divided a piece, and he could sell it himself, and if he couldn't sell Xiao Li, you would wrap it up and give my brother money, so is it good? ”
"Boss Li, you don't need to say anything superfluous, just do what my brother says." Mao Dashan smiled and said, "Anyway, it's you who pay." I'm going to make it bigger. For example, 100 pieces of wool are produced a day. I can get 10 yuan, that's 28,000 euros, isn't that a fortune? ”
Wuyang was also laughed at by him, "Since the two eldest brothers said so, the matter is settled." It's still early, let's have something to eat, and Brother Mao will contact us. We're resting here. ”
Boss Chen beckoned everyone to eat, after a full meal. Mao Dashan said: "Boss Li, this side is done, you don't need to stay here." Let's just go and get in touch together. ”
So he said goodbye to Boss Chen, and the jeep set off again. After walking for more than ten minutes, he came to a small town, and Mao Dashan said, "The person we are looking for is here." ”
The three of them walked into a military camp, and Mao Dashan talked to a major, but Wuyang didn't understand it at all. I only saw that the major's face changed from a fake smile to a real smile, and the matter was basically done.
At this time, Mao Dashan said to Wuyang: "Boss Li, I talked to the major like this: we mine wool in those abandoned mines. The major is responsible for our mining security and transportation security, and it doesn't matter if you go out of the border. In this way, we give away a piece of wool or sell a piece. It was given 1 euro to the major, and the major sent someone to supervise it. ”
"It's so troublesome, why don't you give him how much money you give him every year, and what about the things on the tribe's side?"
Mao Dashan said a few more words to the major, "The major said that we don't have to worry about the affairs of the tribe, and they will settle it." How much money is paid each year for you to make a price. ”
"I think it's been more than two months this year, so we'll give him 200,000 euros this year, and from next year we'll give him 500,000 euros a year. That's certainly more than 1 euro per piece of wool, but we are held accountable for disruptions to our mining and threats to the safety or injury of our workers. ”
Mao Dashan talked with the major for a while, "The major said: he absolutely guarantees our safety, starting from the purchase of equipment, he will send people to follow and protect, and in the future, when we mine normally, he will send a squad of soldiers to be stationed in the mine." He asked us to pay in advance every six months, and if you agree, you can sign the contract. ”
"Okay, you just let him draft the contract, I think the contract should be written in Burmese, Chinese, English three languages, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by language differences."
After Mao Dashan told the major, the major went out. Wuyang asked for the location of the toilet, and after going to the toilet, he took out 10,000 euros from his backpack and prepared to hand it over to the major later. He knew that these people were the lords who did not see rabbits and did not scatter eagles.
After coming out, Wuyang asked Mao Dashan: "Brother Mao, is it difficult to purchase equipment and recruit personnel here?" ”
Mao Dashan said: "It is very simple to purchase equipment, in Yangon and Mandalay, several large companies in the world have offices, as long as you pay money, you can have any equipment. It's not difficult to recruit people, as long as you have money, you can hire any kind of person. ”
"Okay, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will go to two mines to continue to purchase some wool, you can use your spare time to purchase equipment and recruiters from today, and then we will set up an account for you in the bank, I will transfer the money to you, you will start operating here, I will go to the jade public market with your brother." Otherwise, you don't have to take the gold, just transfer it to you in euros. Wuyang said.
"That's fine. No wonder you are so rich at a young age, you are really a person who does great things. Mao Dashan said.
"Brother Mao, don't praise me. By the way, I suddenly remembered a question, can the wool we buy be delivered directly to my home? When you go to my house, you can take the Rui Expressway, and after you get to your brother's troop station, it will be a full expressway, will there be any obstacles on the way? ”
"Probably not. As long as these vehicles pass through the Myanmar government, they are basically legal, and since they can go to Binh Chau, they will definitely be able to go to your home. I'll give Boss Chen a call and ask. Mao Dashan said.
After Mao Dashan made the call, he told Wuyang and asked him to send a text message to Boss Chen about the detailed address of his home, and arrange the storage location and receiving personnel at home. It is estimated that it will arrive in 3 days.
After doing these things, Wuyang told the brothers about the idea of giving the major 10,000 euros. Mao Dashan said: "You must not give so much, at most 2000, otherwise you will raise his appetite, what will you do in the future?" ”
Wuyang Zhilu said that this is a problem of the market, and it is true that the market cannot be raised, otherwise it will be higher in the future.
The major took out the contract. In triplicate. The contract is simple. Contract in 3 languages. There are only two sheets of paper yet. Wuyang compared the content of Chinese and English, the wording was very rigorous, and the content was consistent with what was just mentioned, but it was added that every time the wool was transported, the army would send people to escort it to the border, which made Wuyang very satisfied.
After signing the contract and shaking hands with the major, Wuyang handed him the 2,000 euros that were ready. The major gave him a thumbs up. Said something. Company Commander Mao told him, the major said that you are very good at handling things.
The three men went out to get into the car, when two soldiers with loaded guns followed and took their car. Wuyang was about to ask what was going on. Mao Dashan said that this is the major, and they are beginning to fulfill the contract.
On the second and third days, both soldiers stayed with them. When they enter the mine, they don't always stop for inspections like they did on the first day. That day, Boss Chen still led the way, and the soldiers along the way still checked, and now as soon as the two soldiers waved, the soldiers who checked were released.
On the second day, I bought 650 pieces of wool, and on the third day, I bought 1,350 pieces. The price here is lower, 2,500 euros a piece. However, their mine did not set up an office in Pingzhou, so the transportation of wool was still to be handled by Boss Chen.
I spent nearly 10 million euros in 3 days, but I bought more than 3,000 pieces of wool, and Wuyang was very happy. The average of these wool is about 500 kilograms, even if it is 2,000 yuan a kilogram in China, it is worth millions, no wonder the assets of those wool merchants are growing like blowing up balloons.
On the fourth day, that is, the tenth day of the first lunar month, Mao Dashan's plan was taken out with the assistance of Company Commander Mao. When a few people arrived at the bank, Wuyang wanted to transfer him 50 million euros, and Mao Dashan said: "Don't do so much, don't do so much." Ten million is enough. ”
Wuyang said: "I read your plan, and I know that 10 million is enough, just to let you make a few mines of this scale." We are in someone else's country, can we let you mine slowly? It can only be said that mining is a day, so you must act quickly. ”
Mao Dashan said: "It's enough to double, otherwise we will become the largest mine, and it will be a big move, but it is not good, and it is also a little difficult to recruit personnel." ”
Wuyang asked Mao Dashan to open a company account, and then opened a personal card, and transferred the money to him respectively.
The three people and two soldiers drove to the mine not far from Boss Xiao Chen's mine that day, and Wuyang led the way up the mountain from a place with a relatively gentle slope, and then walked back along the jade vein. Company Commander Mao did not go up the mountain with them and drove back.
Wuyang told Mao Dashan the location of the mining, and Mao Dashan told the soldiers. After walking more than 20 kilometers, the jade vein finally ended. Wuyang told Mao Dashan about the thickness of the stone layer and the thickness of the jade layer, and then asked Mao Dashan how to mine it.
Mao Dashan said: "I want to mine there in the old pit, put the stones on it to the reverse side of the old pit, and stack the wool directly into the old pit, so that our wool is the old pit wool, and the price may be better." And it can save a lot of money for moving stones. More machinery and workers are also available. ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "Brother Mao, you are very economically minded and have the potential to be a big boss." That's why people say that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. ”
"Thank you for your compliment. Boss Li, I would like to ask, what is the probability that our jadeite mine can mine jadeite? ”
Wuyang wanted to say 100%, but when the words came to his lips, it became "It should be half to half, and the other half depends on our luck." ”
"Boss Li, if the wool is mined in the future, what are you going to do with the wool?" Mao Dashan said.
"You will send all my wool back to China for me, and I will not sell a piece of wool here. Your part of the story is up to you, but I would advise you to ship it back to China as well. One is the high price in China, the other is that if you are not in a hurry to use the money now, you will collect it, these wool stocks are not much, and they will become more and more expensive in the future, and the value of collecting these things is greater than that of collecting other things. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I have an idea, I wonder if you agree. Since our mine you have decided not to sell wool, you can install more explosives, so that the wool can be taken out directly, so that a lot of freight can be saved. If you buy a few stone cutters, you can also send only jadeite. Mao Dashan said.
Wuyang asked, "Brother Mao." I couldn't agree more with your idea. Just do as you say. If you need to transport wool, do you think it is better for us to buy a car or rent a car to transport wool? ”
"If we just ship the jadeite ourselves, we definitely have to buy our own car, and if we transport wool, there is no need to buy a car. You see, Boss Chen's mine is big enough, but their vehicles are resting for half a year. The cost of workers' wages and vehicle maintenance will not be less than that of renting a car. Didn't the head of the Southern Patrol say: It is better to buy a ship than to build a ship, and it is better to rent a ship than to buy a ship? ”
Wuyang smiled: "Brother Mao." Do you know all this? ”
Mao Dashan smiled and said: "Don't look at me as a big man, in fact, my family history is very good." My grandparents, both university students, fled to Burma on the eve of liberation, and then mapped the border and then to China. The reading atmosphere in my home is very good, otherwise Xiaoshan would not have been admitted to the military school. It's not that I don't like to read since I was a child, it's that I don't want to sit in the classroom and be constrained. ”
"Brother Mao, since you are a reasonable person, then I will talk about it. When I get back from here, I'll send someone. One is to learn from you to manage the mine, and the second is to have the meaning of mutual supervision. I don't think we can just mine this one. It will definitely increase in the future, but no matter how many mines it develops, you will still be the boss of this front desk, or you will have 10% of the shares, do you say it is good? ”
"Boss Li, I really admire you very much, you are a person who does great things. Otherwise, don't go to the public market this time, take a turn here to see if there is anything worth mining, and we'll do a few more. ”
"Do you know how many days it will take to go from here to participate in the public market? I'm definitely going to have to go to the public market this time. Wuyang said.
"It used to take three days to get here, but now with the soldiers, two days is enough. In addition, there are several jade bosses, Boss Chen's uncle is the biggest boss here, he will definitely go to participate in the public market, we will go to him tomorrow to buy wool, ask if we can take his helicopter to go, so a few hours is enough. ”
The next few people returned to the town and stayed at the inn again. Mao Dashan called Boss Chen's uncle and said that Boss Li had come from China and wanted to buy wool from your mine.
Boss Chen said that I know the truth, and my nephew has already told me. Come here now, stay here for the night, and I'll entertain you well, and tomorrow you will have more time to pick up the wool.
The five of them marched to Boss Da Chen's mine again. The degree of dilapidation of the road surface is that the nephew hits the lantern - as usual (uncle). After 40 minutes of bumping, when I arrived at Boss Chen's shed area, the road surface was smooth. Wuyang asked, "They don't build roads for anything?" ”
Mao Dashan said: "After the road is repaired, the government army will come to inspect every day, and there will be no way to do private goods at all." ”
Boss Chen's office is a small two-story building, with an ordinary appearance, but a large helipad next to it is quite conspicuous, and the helicopter is parked there.
Boss Chen stood at the door to greet them, and after shaking hands with Wuyang and Company Commander Mao, he had a bear hug with Mao Dashan. It seems that they have a lot of relationship.
After taking a seat, Boss Chen began to make kung fu tea, and Wuyang looked at his skillful techniques, knowing that Lu Dao was a person who was proficient in this way.
"Boss Li, you've been here for several days, but you haven't contacted me here, I thought you weren't coming." Boss Chen said.
Wuyang smiled, "When I arrived in northern Myanmar, how could I not come to you?" I'm here because of an old Chinese saying: the best is yet to come. I'm going to take this place as the highlight, and Boss Chen wants to get a discount on the price. ”
"Boss Li, you bought so much wool in Pingzhou last time, why didn't you just cut a piece of it?"
"Boss Chen, do you know anything like this?" Wuyang asked.
Boss Chen smiled, "Of course I know the Dao, you haven't left Pingzhou yet, so I know the Dao." You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"Boss Chen, do you know what people buy wool for? What I bought was a kind of hope. Cut the wool, regardless of whether there is jadeite in it or not, hopefully it is gone. So I don't cut it, leaving a lot of hope. Wuyang said with a smile. I thought to myself, Boss Chen's intelligence work is still not in place, and he cut out a lot of jadeite from Boss Xiao Chen, because of the good cover-up, he didn't know what to do, maybe Boss Xiao Chen deliberately concealed it.
"And you have so much money to store these hopes?"
"I mined a small gold mine, and the gold I produced turned into money, and I used it to store hope."
"Isn't your collection of gold similar to your collection of jadeite wool? Why bother? Boss Chen asked.
"The value of gold is definitely not as good as jadeite, and I still have gold production there. Do you say? ”
Boss Chen smiled and showed a mouthful of neat white teeth. He is slightly fat, his face is fair, he is a well-maintained person, and he looks like he is in his 40s.
"Young man, you have a good eye. You do business differently than others, choose wool by feeling, collect hope, Ha Luha, I value you. The wool I have here is grown in the old pit, and the jadeite cut out is better than that of several of their water species. At present, there are nearly 30,000 pieces of wool left in my mine, and you can buy more during the public market. I don't want you to be too high, just 2,500 euros a piece. As for transportation and other things, my nephew will take care of it. ”
"I'll thank Boss Chen first, tomorrow as long as I have enough money, I will buy as much as I like." Wuyang said.
"After dinner, I'll arrange a good program for you. There are girls from several countries, although they are not as good as the Eight-Nation Coalition in Macau, they will not be much worse. Every time the guests come to enjoy this show very much. Boss Chen said with a smile.
"Boss Chen, I won't participate in such a show. I'm afraid that participating in such a show will affect my good luck. Wuyang said.
"I definitely can't go, my task is to protect Boss Li." Mao Xiaoshan said.
"Okay, if you don't go, let Brother Dashan and these two soldiers go." Boss Chen said.
Wuyang said: "Brother Mao, you take them there, I'll pay for the expenses." "After that, you have to pay for it.
Boss Chen blocked him, "They are also my friends, don't worry about it." ”
After dinner, Wuyang and Mao went back to the guest room to sleep. I've had a good rest these days and I'm in good spirits.
"Brother Mao, I think I'll give you a few pieces of wool tomorrow, and you can cut it yourself by luck."
"Now that you bought the wool yourself, I don't want it. When your jade mine is produced, I won't be polite to you if you give me ten or eight yuan. (To be continued......)
PS: Dear officials, it's another weekend, and I wish you a happy weekend. I am preparing for the third watch today, and I should be able to rush out. Ask for monthly passes, subscriptions, and favorites. Xie Lu Xie.
