After confirming that the right to use Huaguo Mountain was in hand, Lu Yao took Yang Huaicun to the Donghai Provincial Oceanic Bureau to apply for the development of the island, and the person in charge of the Oceanic Bureau readily agreed.

However, before formal development, it must be approved by the Oceanic Administration, and it cannot be developed arbitrarily, and some places with protection value are not allowed to be destroyed without authorization.

Lu Yao nodded and agreed, before asking the expedition team and designers to land on the island, he had to go to the island to clean up those blood-sucking insects, otherwise there would be no way to develop Huaguo Mountain.

However, the time is about to reach the middle of January, and the auction of Hetian Jade Mine is about to be held, and Lu Yao has to go to Kunlun Mountain first, and only after returning will he have time to be busy with other things.

In fact, after Lu Yao finished the jade mine auction, it was almost the New Year, and the time was very tight, and the development of Huaguo Mountain would not be a matter of the New Year.

Lu Yao asked again, is there anyone in the family who is willing to accompany him to travel to the Hotan area?

As a result, no one in the family wanted to go. At the end of the year, Su Jingya has a lot of things to deal with in the village committee, summing up the gains and losses of this year, and planning the direction of development for the coming year.

After Lu's father opened a convenience store, he didn't want to go anywhere, and guarded his small store all day long, I don't know how happy he was.

Lu's mother is because of the arrival of her aunt Zhong Xiuxiu, and the two of them have endless topics to talk about in the dry goods store every day, and by the way, she takes the children to cook, and she is not willing to move around.

Adults don't want to go, and it's very inconvenient to take two little guys, because Lu Yao often acts alone, and in the end he has to go to the Hotan area of Kunlun Mountain alone.

Lu Yao did not travel to Hetian Jade Mine this time in a private capacity, but as a shareholder of Zhou's Jewelry Company, and he was accompanied by Zhou's Jewelry people.

Although Lu Yao participated in the auction, the most important thing was to auction the jade mine for himself, but other companies did not know this, so they would not guess the next layout of Zhou's Jewelry Company.

This time, the team leader is not Lu Yao, but Mei Beiping, a senior leader of Zhou's Jewelry Company, who is the son-in-law of Mr. Zhou's and has worked in Zhou's Jewelry Company for decades, and is usually responsible for raw material procurement.

"Lu Dong, when we get to the Hotan area, what will we do next?" Mei Beiping humbly asked Lu Yao for advice.

He knew that his trip was just to cover Lu Yao, and in fact he was just here to go through the motions.

Lu Yao said with a smile: "Vice President Mei is too polite, you just look at the arrangement, in fact, I don't know much, and I will talk about it when the auction starts." ”

"If there is a good jade, the company can also buy it at its discretion, and if it is useful to me at that time, I will pay to buy it, and if it is useless, I will leave it to the company for its own use. ”

Lu Yao now has a lot of shares in Zhou's Jewelry, so naturally he also has to consider the development of the company.

A group of more than a dozen people arrived in the Hotan area by plane, and Mei Beiping had already booked the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

After checking in, Mei Beiping found several former acquaintances in this Hotan Hotel, all of whom were the heads of the purchasing departments of the top ten jewelry companies in China, and they had dealt with each other before.

Mei Beiping had had a lot of fights with them for jewelry ore before, so they were a little uncomfortable with each other, and they didn't even say hello, so they went back to the room to rest.

The auction was officially held on the 14th, and today is only the 12th, and there are still two days left, so Lu Yao will naturally not spend it in the hotel stupidly.

There was a reason why he came so early. First, he had never been to Kunlun Mountain before, and he wanted to see the location of this sacred mountain, known as the ancestor of all mountains.

Second, although the new jade ore discovered by the miners this time is very rich, there are still differences in each place, and Lu Yao just wants to find out where the storage is the largest?

At the same time, where is the jade mine with the strongest aura, which meets his requirements.

Therefore, after resting for a while, Lu Yao explained to Mei Beiping, saying that he was going out for a walk, and he would come back almost until the auction began, so that Mei Beiping would not have to look for him in the past few days.

Mei Beiping is also happy to see this, after all, his age is half the same as Lu Yao, and the two don't have much common language together.

Although this trip was mainly due to Lu Yao's own purchase of jade mines, Mei Beiping would not easily miss this opportunity, which was the best opportunity to inquire about several other companies.

Zhou's Jewelry Company got as much as 1.5 billion raw materials from Lu Yao this time, and it is foreseeable that in the next few years, Zhou's Jewelry will develop by a blowout.

Whether it can become one of the top jewelry companies in the country depends on whether it will be blocked by other jewelry companies?

......

......

Kunlun Mountain is also known as Kunlun Xu, the first sacred mountain in China, the mountain of ten thousand ancestors, Kunlun Hill or Jade Mountain.

The entire Kunlun Mountains are about 2,500 kilometers long, with an average altitude of 5,500 to 6,000 kilometers and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.

It is rumored that there are many mysterious places in Kunlun Mountain, and the rumors of immortals have been heard endlessly since ancient times, the most famous of which is the legend of the Queen Mother of the West.

However, when Lu Yao entered the cultivation realm in his previous life, he had never heard of such a great power. He guessed that this might be a native cultivator of the earth, and if there was a chance to find her cultivation cave, he might have a lot of gains.

Out of the hotel, Lu Yao didn't drive, but walked forward, looking around.

Hotan has been a jade producing area since ancient times, and its economy is quite developed, with high-rise buildings everywhere and bright lights.

But Lu Yao didn't come here to see these scenery, he directly took a taxi and went to the location of the jade mine.

After about two hours, the taxi arrived at the location of the jade mine, which is located in the Kunlun Mountains.

After waiting for the taxi driver to leave, Lu Yao, in order to prevent him from encountering people in the mine on the road, used stealth techniques on himself, ran the spirit detection technique, and observed where the aura was the strongest?

In the process of observation, Lu Yao took out the map of the location of the jade mine from time to time and marked it on it.

Because of the large size of the jade mine, all the people who participated in the auction could at most take a car and look around, and finally when the auction was held, they still had to bid one by one according to the map of the mining area.

Lu Yao didn't know how many pieces the miners would divide the entire jade mine into, all he had to do was to buy the most cost-effective jade mine with the least amount of money.

After walking for more than an hour, Lu Yao had already drawn several areas on his atlas, which were the places where the aura was the strongest.

Seeing that the sky was gradually pressing, Lu Yao was about to find a place to rest, when he suddenly heard the sound of two people talking not far in front of him.
