Chapter 137: Mining Like This
Chapter 137 Five days after the opening of the mine (the first shift), the initial mining machinery of the Hongtan Mine was finally assembled.
a transport system that can transport wool from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain; Some blasting devices, some excavation devices, it can be said that under the premise of manual excavation, the machinery and equipment here are very complete.
It's time to mine! Zhang Guodong was also a little excited to wait for this day. With a bang, the ore rock at the foot of the mountain began to loosen about dozens of square meters, and the low-pressure deep blasting was used here, not to blow the stone apart at once, but to shake its foundation, disperse the rock, and facilitate the mining of workers, so as to preserve the integrity of the jade to the greatest extent.
But the concept of jade mining is completely different from that of quarrying stones. What kind of rough stone needs to be retained, which may contain gold and jade, and what kind of waste material can be violently broken, these must be guided by experts.
In the team organized by Liu Neng, there are three people who do this. These three people have participated in the exploration and investigation of this Hongtan jade mine in the early stage, so they know this piece better.
Familiar with the road! Zhang Guodong was in good spirits on the first day, but at the end of the day, he found out. The progress of this quarrying seems to be slow enough, and a dozen people can mine less than two tons of rough in a day?
οΌ Zhang Guodong was a little depressed. It's mostly stones! Even if there is topaz and gold jade in these rough stones, it is a very small part!
Then Zhang Guodong sensed it with his tentacles, and sure enough, in two tons, less than a pound of jade can be mined, right?
There may be less gold and jade, and these potential jade deposits are still scattered in two tons of rough stones.
"It's so hard to mine jade?" Zhang Guodong was a little unwilling, this progress was too slow.
But it turns out that Zhang Guodong is purely a layman, and this speed is already good with this bit of manpower and resources.
But fortunately, Zhang Guodong quickly shifted his attention to the waste jade boy of the 'jade line'. This waste is thrown around at random, thrown everywhere, like jade scum, but it is here that Zhang Guodong discovered the essence of jade!
It's just that this jade essence is really pitiful, sporadic and surrounded by rocks, and it takes a lot of effort to completely get out of the rock layer, and besides, less than half a tael of jade dregs is collected in a day, right?
The essence of jade is even less, which is even more outrageous than mining jade! Zhang Guodong was thinking. Let him collect the jade essence himself.
He had to die of exhaustion, so Zhang Guodong found Liu Neng, who was worried. Liu Neng is more excited now, the things produced every day are money, he and Zhang Guodong agreed, where there are enough for two cars (one ten tons), four or six accounts, separate the rough stone.
He had already thought of a way to deal with the wool, and he was going to sell it outright, rather than cutting it himself.
In contrast to Liu Neng, Zhang Guodong intends to cut part of it on the spot and sell the other part. Liu Neng felt that this part of the cut was too wasteful, but he didn't dare to refute Zhang Guodong's words, so that's it, right?
"Boss Zhang, what's the matter with you?" Liu Neng rushed to Zhang Guodong's bamboo house. Zhang Guodong and Liu Neng each got a bamboo house, while the rest lived in a group.
Originally, it was planned to build five bamboo houses, but in the end, eight were built, and the power of the masses was huge, and everyone did not have to sleep in the open.
It's simple in the bamboo house. a bamboo chair, made of local materials; A bamboo table, you can put some things, read books or something; And then there is the bamboo bed, not to mention, the bamboo bed is covered with futon, and the sleeping feeling is different, and it is not so shaky.
Then sprinkle some lime powder around the bamboo house, which not only prevents mosquitoes from entering, but also becomes dry, Zhang Guodong is very satisfied.
motioned for Liu Neng to sit down. Liu Neng was half of his butt next to the chair, and the chair creaked, this guy was much heavier than Zhang Guodong.
"I called you here because I have a business to doβ" Zhang Guodong said straight to the point. Then he took a cloth bag from the bamboo table, and poured some small jade stones on the bed.
"Scrap jade slag?" Liu Neng was stunned.
"Boss Zhang, what are you?" This waste jade slag is too miscellaneous, too broken, too small, basically will not be disposed of after opening, just throw away.
Zhang Guodong said with a smile: "That's right, this business is related to this, I want these waste jade slag, but it must be cut like this, there can't be more stones on it, it must meet this standard!" Zhang Guodong had already let Master Che Yu deal with these scraps on the bed, and it took a lot of time to throw away 99 percent of the stones, most of which were broken jade, with light yellow or a gold wire.
It's just that. This jade boy is too small, I guess no one wants it!
"Such a jade slag, I will give you 600 yuan per kilogram, of course, you can also exchange it for the original stone in my share, what do you think of this business?" Zhang Guodong said.
Liu Neng thought he had heard it wrong, and exchanged the original stone for jade slag? How can there be such a stupid person in the world? Er, it seems that this person is right in front of him: "Boss Zhang, you won't be serious, right?" β
"Of course!"
"Not only the jade slag of this Hongtan mine, but also the jade slag of other jade mines from all over the country, as long as it meets this standard, I will accept it all!" Zhang Guodong raised his eyebrows and said affirmatively.
That's right! He felt that Liu Neng swallowed his saliva greatly. There are a lot of such waste jade slags, but everyone throws them away directly, if you really collect them, it will be no problem to collect more than ten or twenty tons a year!
That's a business of one or two million!
"Is this business going to be done? Deliver with one hand, pay with the otherβ" Zhang Guodong continued to tempt. Liu Neng immediately said: "Do it, Boss Zhang, I must do this business even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" "It's a fool not to do it!
These jade slags are purely discarded things, he can buy them at a price of four hundred yuan per kilogram, and it is estimated that he can collect a lot, and it is okay to earn a few million yuan a year, how can there be any reason not to do it?
Liu Neng smiled even more flatteringly. The two of them discussed. Liu Neng brought some jade slag as a sample. Then, he hurried out, anxious to contact the familiar jade merchant.
Liu Neng is not a fool, he is thinking in his heart, Boss Zhang can't be playing with me, he has collected sixty percent of the profits from the ore, can he still care about the thousands of profits?
But this is tens of millions of profits, but Liu Neng sees it in his eyes. If he is not at home, he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, he wants to do legitimate business, but he doesn't know what to do.
This is an opportunity, and he naturally can't let it go. Call some jade dealers immediately and keep an eye out for the scrap and jade slag.
He thought, after a while, he will bring it back from all over the place, and this will change hands and it will be a lot of money. What's more, you can deepen the cooperative relationship with Zhang Guodong, which kills two birds with one stone.
In this regard, Liu Neng, a small person, is indeed more accessible than Zhang Guodong. Although some jade merchants who know are very suspicious of Liu Neng's words, they might as well try, and Liu Neng will collect it in person after one ton, which is 40,000 yuan!
Pick up the money for nothing. If you lose tens of thousands, but if you make money, this is a new way to make a fortune! So, the acquisition started silently.
ββββββ Hongtan Mine, at this time, he also began to pay attention to these waste jade slags, Zhang Guodong didn't care about these, waved his hand, and handed them all over to Liu Neng to collect, and the jade slag was Liu Neng's.
By the eighth day, twenty tons of rough had been mined and piled up like a hill. These rough stones must be disposed of in time!
Zhang Guodong walked around the pile of rough stones, and then came back, called Liu Neng, who had been itching for a long time, and said: "It's almost enough for two cars, divide the ore, you four and I six, I will leave a part to cut, and you can buy the remaining part, one ton is 800,000 yuan, and it doesn't take advantage of you!" Liu Neng was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.
It's not a big deal! He still has a lot to earn. Zhang Guodong was not polite, and began to pick out two tons, some of which were large, weighing about 300 kilograms, and some of which were small.
Only about a pound. On the side, including Liu Neng, he was also wondering, Boss Zhang chose the rough stone so quickly?
He thought that Zhang Guodong should choose slowly, after all, if he chooses a good rough stone, he will make a lot of money. But in this way, Liu Neng is a little grateful to Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong is like this, which is equivalent to taking care of him indirectly. Dividing these two tons, Zhang Guodong said to Liu Neng with a smile: "There are ten tons left, you give me a total of eight million, right?" β
"Eight million, that's right, thank you Boss Zhang!" Liu Neng immediately thanked him.
"Will I go back to the city and transfer the money later, or shall I bring the cash?"
"Go back to the city, can you still lie to me?"
"Of course not! I don't dare to lie to you if I have ten guts, thank you Boss Zhang! Liu Neng said immediately.
Zhang Guodong said in his heart, I really have to thank me, but if these ten tons of wool rough are sold directly, they will make a million yuan, and if they are cut and sold, they should be able to earn two million yuan, but Zhang Guodong dislikes that the quality of these rough stones is not good enough, and then it is too scattered.
It's better to let Liu Neng dispose of it together! Big money is earned by yourself, and small money is also made by others! At present, Zhang Guodong is very satisfied with Liu Neng's ability to do things.
It's just that Zhang Guodong won't remind him that how to sell it and what price to sell it is his business. Liu Neng harvested a total of eighteen tons, and then kept contacting Ah Wolf for a while, he planned to build a temporary steel bridge through the small river to transport the rough stone.
After all, Red Beach is a small place, and there are too many rough stones piled up, which is easy to be discovered.
"Boss Zhang, should these rough stones be cut now?" The master who was responsible for cutting the rough stone for Zhang Guodong came up at this time to ask for instructions.
"Help me move these small pieces of rough stones to the bamboo houseβ" Zhang Guodong thought for a while, pointed to some small rough stones, and said.
The cutter was surprised, but nodded and didn't say anything, and after a while, he moved dozens of rough stones of less than ten catties to the front of the bamboo house.
Then the remaining rough stones in the field were hundreds of kilograms, and there were eight boulders. Zhang Guodong said in his heart, the big rough stone is really troublesome to deal with, so the only way to do it is to take the small one first.
He had some interest in cutting rough stones, so when his master had moved in, he asked him to assemble a small cutting machine in front of his bamboo house, powered by a diesel generator.
Everyone understood at a glance that Boss Zhang decided to cut the rough stone by himself! It's just that this cutting rough stone is not a simple matter, it is very easy to cut the jade if you are raw, cut down, even the cutting master has some pity to look at some of the original stones, several times want to persuade, but Zhang Guodong fanfare, clearly want to do it himself, this is not persuaded!
Zhang Guodong took out a rough stone, which weighed five catties, and the outer layer was wrapped in yellow sand skin, and a trace of gold thread came out, which seemed to seep out from inside.
It seems that this stone skin is very thin.
"Boss Zhang, it's better to wipe this kind of small rough stone, it's easy to cut it if you cut it!" The master looked at Zhang Guodong and planned to cut it directly, and couldn't help but say.
"Rub?" Zhang Guodong listened to the cutting master's explanation, and suddenly became stunned. The heart said, it makes sense, although he can sense the quality of the jade, but compared with the connoisseur, he has much less fun.
Anyway, it will take a lot of time to mine, just wipe it, and take your time. The diesel generator roared, the cutting machine in his hand rotated at high speed, and as soon as the tooth blade touched the rough stone, the original stone chips were suddenly ground and splashed everywhere!
This time the friction is a little bigger, and I didn't grasp it well! Go on! Zhang Guodong just started to light and heavy, which made people look very anxious, this should be heavier, if the jade is rubbed, it will be a big loss.
But soon, Zhang Guodong mastered this trick, although he was still very rusty, but he finally knew the concept of 'rubbing' and the difference between 'cutting'.
Stone powder was flying everywhere, Zhang Guodong was immersed in the fun of understanding stones, and unconsciously, his body was also covered with a layer of stone powder, but Zhang Guodong didn't care at all, he enjoyed the process of turning stones into jade!
"Out of the jade, out of the jade, Boss Zhang, slow down!" The cutting master waited for an unknown amount of time, his eyes widened, a trace of golden yellow came out, and he hurriedly shouted to stop.
This is a sign of jade, my heart said, this boss is really lucky, the first piece of jade! PS: The first update has arrived!
Two minutes after the second shift, ask for subscriptions and recommended tickets, thank you for your tips!
