Chapter 692: When things go wrong, there must be demons
Su Bin did not report to Zhu Yu about Ye Niya's finding of the elephant tusks as soon as possible.
He first came to the place pointed by Yenia and observed carefully.
Sure enough, from that angle, a bony tip was exposedβjust a very small tip, about the size of a fist.
"You say this is mammoth tusk?" Su Bin turned his head and asked Ye Niya.
"It must be, and it should be an elephant's tusk!" Yenia said firmly, "If you look at this cone-shaped tip, you can see the size of the ivory from here.
Based on my experience of digging ivory this year, the tusks inside such a large cone are at least two meters long! β
Right now, the two of them were in front of a seaside cliff about five or six years high, and the conical bony tip was about a meter above the ground.
When Su Bin heard Ye Niya say this, he took the shovel from her hand and dug it up on the side of the ivory.
The cliff wall was sandy and mixed with ice, and Su Bin's strength was great, and he quickly dug out a circle of pits on the edge of the ivory.
The ivory was about ten centimeters exposed, and sure enough, it was a very thick texture at the back.
Seeing that the color was quite good, Su Bin nodded, and said to Ye Niya with a smile:
"Indeed, you are lucky, this time the harvest may be great!"
Yenia was also very happy.
At least for now, there is nothing wrong with your choice.
"Here, give me the tools, I'm better at digging this!" Ye Niya took the tool from Su Bin's hand and began to dig.
Su Bin smiled, took the walkie-talkie and said:
"Team Ran, Team Ran! I'm Su Bin, I'm Su Bin. β
"Received, what's the matter with Su Bin?" Ran Jie's voice came from that side, mixed with the cheerful voices of the team members.
"I found elephant tusks here, in the permafrost, which may be more than two meters long, according to Yenia."
"Really?" There was a smile in Ran Jie's voice, "It seems that this Ye Niya is really at stake, do you want to send you support?" β
Su Bin turned his head and asked Ye Niya, who was digging:
"Yenia, do you need support here? I don't think you can dig out this ivory for a while. Maybe the day will be spent here. β
"Isn't there something you can do for me?" Ye Niya now thinks that Su Bin, a Chinese person, is still very good, she said with a smile: "You dig with me, and the ivory that is dug up, your boss, me and you can divide it into three parts, one for each family." β
Su Bin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Ye Niya's words.
Yenia explained:
"The two of us should be able to dig it out today, and we don't need anyone else to come over and share the money."
"Cents? What are you thinking? Su Bin finally understood what Ye Niya was thinking, and he said with a smile: "Our money, the boss will send it."
The boss and you agreed on a fifty-fifty split, now no matter how many people come to dig for you, even if you don't dig now, we will dig it out for you directly, that is also fifty-fifty shares. Do you understand? β
Yenia understood, stunned again, and seemed to not understand.
Is that really the case?
Su Bin shook his head, this woman is a little pretty, but she is a little childish.
However, Su Bin quickly reacted, maybe this woman was in the original team, and it was this "sin".
So he said to Yenya, "I can't dig for you." If you ran into a bear earlier, it means that there is a fierce beast nearby. If we're both digging and suddenly something comes and strikes, it's more troublesome. So let's call someone over. β
After speaking, he said into the walkie-talkie:
"Team Ran, Team Ran, send two people over. This ivory is a bit big. β
"Okay, tell me where you are."
Su Bin reported the location, and Ran Jie quickly sent someone over.
Su Bin was patrolling around with a gun, and Ye Niya was still very surprised.
Is that really the case?
This is different from my own perception!
But now in other people's spheres of influence, even if Yenia is suspicious, it is not easy to express it, so she can only wait and see.
Half an hour later, the two team members were digging for the tusk with Yenia.
The team members dug very carefully and listened to Yenia's words - in their opinion, Yenia was an expert in this area, and she was very experienced, so it sounded right.
About two hours later, a thick elephant tusk about two meters and four or five meters long was dug up, and the tusks broke at the root, only this one, without the skull of a mammoth and another tusk.
The texture of the ivory, which is between the frozen soil and the soil layer, is okay, and Yenia said with a smile:
"This ivory can be sold for about $30,000."
Earning $15,000 in two days, it's really cool!
The two team members walked back with their ivory, Ye Niya and Su Bin also walked back, and with today's harvest, she didn't plan to continue looking.
Two wolves appeared at the boundary between the woodland and the beach, but seeing so many people here, the two wolves retreated into the woodland.
"It's really dangerous." Ye Nia saw the two wolves, and now she admired Su Bin's previous words, and she was also a little afraid.
If Su Bin really listened to his words, dug with himself, and was attacked by a group of wolves, he might really die.
Back at the camp, Zhu Yu and the others also dug out a small tooth, but although that tooth was a little smaller, the tooth cut out of the ice had a much better texture just from the outside!
"If that ivory is sold, it will cost at least $60,000!" Ye Niya whispered to Su Bin, "With such a good texture, I can't see a few tusks a year!" β
Su Bin smiled and didn't speak.
Yenia didn't care either, and continued:
"Your boss is really lucky! Such ivory, those customers will rush to ask for it! β
When I got to the camp, I put the ivory to the woolly rhinoceros from before, and no one cared about it. Everyone washes and washes, and everyone changes clothes.
Vera came to look for Yenia after changing her clothes, and the two of them sat in front of the tent and chatted - Yenia was very interested in the small maza and folding table in front of the tent.
Especially with a pot of hot black tea on it, it's really refreshing.
She felt like hell had happened to her. Now this kind of life, even if she is allowed to dig ivory here every day!
There was food to eat, something to drink, and there was something to keep warm in the tent, and although there were many strong men around, no one would come and harass them.
It's really great!
After a while, Zhu Yu came over and sat next to Vera. Vera smiled and poured Zhu Yu a cup of tea, Zhu Yu patted her hand gently, and then said to Yenia:
"I heard Su Bin say, you also have research on the price of this ivory?"
"Yes." Ye Niya had a respectful attitude towards Zhu Yu. This young Chinese man can make so many people like Su Bin so obedient, naturally there is something extraordinary.
She won't get closer to the other party just because the other party is Vera's boyfriend, and she is defenseless. She already knew the joke Zhu Yu said to the team members, but obviously Ye Niya was more inclined to say that this was a sugar bomb that Zhu Yu gave to his subordinates, using herself as sugar.
However, when it comes to ivory identification, Yenia feels that she can still be called an expert in front of these people.
She nodded and said:
"I've only been digging ivory for a season, but I've done a lot of research and research, and I've done a lot of comparisons during the digging process. At least in terms of the price of these ivory, the price I gave was relatively fair. β
"Then, the price of your tooth is 30,000 dollars, and you quoted." Zhu Yu took out a wad of money and put it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Ye Niya:
"It's fifteen thousand dollars, yours."
Ye Niya didn't expect Zhu Yu to give her share of the money so directly!
She was a little surprised, and she spoke with a stutter:
"That'...... The ivory hasn't been sold yet, has it? I'm just giving a rough estimate...... It doesn't have to be that number......"
"It's fine." Zhu Yu smiled, "I don't plan to sell these ivory, I'm going to ship them to another base of mine." There's a red-working carving factory, and I'm going to get these ivory out there. β
Zhu Yu also checked the information when he had nothing to do, and the price of an ivory raw material was only tens of thousands of dollars, but it could reach tens of millions of dollars when carved out. Why let others earn this difference?
"Alright, let's talk." Zhu Yu patted Vera lightly and said with a smile, "Just take a break, and we will continue tomorrow." β
He paused, then continued:
"Of course, if you think that's 15,000 dollars enough, you can just leave."
After speaking, Zhu Yu turned around and left.
Yenia was still dreaming.
This is really beyond her cognition and imagination.
Whether it was a digging party before, or a temporary team to steal mammoth ivory, the process of making money was quite painful.
It's painful to find, it's easier to find and dig, but it's also painful to sell.
Just like farmers selling agricultural products, the pricing power is in the hands of others, and although they have dug up good things, they can only let others lower the price.
Now she actually has pricing power!
Looking at the fifteen thousand dollars in hand, Yenia was like a dream!
It took her a moment to react, and then she counted out five thousand dollars and handed it to Vera:
"This is for you, thank you for agreeing to let me come over......"
"Don't, don't." Vera hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't want it, I have a lot of money...... I really don't need it, you need it more than I do. β
"You have a lot of money?" Yenia asked suspiciously.
"Hmm." Vera said with some pride and some shyness, "He...... He gave me a lot of money, and a lot of valuable jewelry, diamonds, ......."
Ye Niya was a little surprised, isn't this diamond also a type of jewelry?
It wasn't until Vera took out a finger-sized rough diamond that she realized why Vera would say the two separately!
Well, it seems that this fifteen thousand dollars is indeed not much for this Zhu Yu.
Dinner was more generous. The cooks took turns digging for ivory. You can't dig for ivory, you can look for food in the jungle. Yenia is still very interested in the ingredients that the cooks are "looking for".
After all, there is venison, fish, wild vegetables, and hearty food that has been brought with you.
Compared to the previous gnawing on Lieba with the temporary team members, it is simply one heaven and one earth!
The next day, they were still looking for ivory.
The day was still nothing. But no one paid much attention to it.
If this stuff is all over the beach, it's really going to be a problem.
Yenia was still a little embarrassed and wanted to give some food or something.
After all, he doesn't pay for food and housing, and he distributes his share of money so openly and transparently. She was a little embarrassed to hold it.
Even in the original digging team, which she felt was very fair, she still had to pay for the equipment.
But here, don't dig anything.
She wanted to pay for food, but Vera held her back.
The explanation given by Vera is not needed.
After all, Zhu Yu really doesn't lack her money here.
Well, Yenia just thinks that this is the most comfortable treasure hunt team she has ever stayed in.
At the beginning of a new day, the team members, Yenia started a new job search in high spirits.
The search has now expanded to include areas up to five kilometres from the camp.
"Half a month at most," Yenia said as she searched, "This season's mammoth ivory digging season is coming to an end." β
Yenia's plan is to wait until the end of the season, and if she can find another tusk, it will be basically complete.
With the distribution method given by Zhu Yu, if you find a piece of ivory, you can get at least $10,000 or more in income, plus your current money, you can easily spend a year after you go back.
What about next year?
Yenia suddenly had a crisis.
yes, this year is coming to an end. What about next year?
But I can't say that.
Let's look for it first. I also found two more, and next year there will be a new way.
Then, Su Bin suddenly pulled Ye Niya's slap:
"Be careful, there are people in the distance, don't get too far away from me!"
As he spoke, he had already pressed his hand to the gun and looked into the distance vigilantly.
It's been a few days here, and this is the first time I've seen anyone other than the team members, and it's impossible for Su Bin not to be vigilant.
In the past few days, they have cooperated with the search and excavation, and Su Bin also listened to Ye Niya talk about her experience as a digger and an ivory digger.
There is no problem at all with saying that the law of the jungle is the strong.
Where there are no people, what is tested is human nature. To say that a missing individual is too normal.
Ye Niya was also a little scared, and immediately hid behind Su Bin.
She had seen people digging for ivory at gunpoint and snatching it.
The original owner of the ivory only retorted a few words, and was shot in the head with a gun!
However, one of the two people on the other side suddenly shouted:
"Yenia, Yenia!"
Victor?
Yenia heard the familiar voice.
Her mood suddenly became complicated.
Viktor and his captain, Popov, narrowly avoided the attack of the Plains Wolves in the jungle, went around to the town to buy tools, and then went to the beach.
However, they were again confronted by the patrol team.
There was no way, Popov and Viktor had to run again, and the farther and farther, they came here.
They were also surprised, they didn't expect to meet Yenia here.
However, seeing Yenia hiding behind a Chinese man, and the Chinese man was still holding a gun in his hand, Viktor and Popov were playing drums in their hearts.
Has Yenia found a new boss, or has she been coerced into looking for ivory?
Su Bin heard the other party's shout, turned his head to look at Ye Niya's reaction, understood, and asked in a low voice:
"Is this your former teammate?"
"Yes." Yenia whispered, "The middle-aged man's name is Popov, and the young man's name is Victor. β
"Is that middle-aged man owing you money?" Su Bin asked again.
"Yes."
"That's good." Su Bin smiled, then walked over with a gun on his face and said to Popov:
"You're a former teammate of Yenya, aren't you?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. "The two sides have recognized each other, although Popov has always been cautious and does not want to recognize it, but now Yenia is also there, and it is impossible not to recognize it.
"That's fine." Su Bin pointed at Ye Niya and said, "She owes money to our boss and is now digging ivory to pay off her debts." According to her confession, she said that you still have a sum of money from her, and you can take it out now! β
Popov wanted to wave his hand, but Su Bin pointed a gun at him.
"Don't tell me I don't have any money. If you don't take it out now, and wait for me to find out, it won't be as simple as the number she said! "Although Su Bin is young, he is not inexperienced.
To deal with such people, there are guns, and the rest of the cruel words are enough.
Popov looked bitter, reluctantly took out a wad of banknotes from his arms, counted them, and handed them to Su Bin.
Victor's eyes changed when he looked at Yenia at this moment.
It turned out that in the team, Yenia was gray every day, except for the first day when she looked more beautiful, the rest of the time was like a dirt aunt.
And now, Yenia is back to the beautiful girl she was on the first day, and it's no wonder that Victor doesn't have a lustful heart!
Now listening to Su Bin say that Yenia owes money to his boss, Victor immediately has the idea of wanting to be a hero to save the beauty.
However, after Su Bin took the money, he pointed at Victor with a gun, with a look of disdain:
"What? Are you not convinced? β
Victor immediately raised his hands and stepped back:
"Suit, serve. We're just normal teammates, we don't have anything else to do with ......"
Then the arm touched Popov, and the two of them slipped away.
Su Bin handed the money to Ye Niya:
"Give, your money."
Ye Niya was stunned for a moment, and put the money away with some emotion.
In the past two days, she has already known that Zhu Yu will not treat her subordinates badly, so Su Bin and they will not be short of money.
If it weren't for Zhu Yu's refusal to accept foreigners, Ye Niya would have wanted to follow Zhu Yu.
The treatment is really good!
"Thank you, thank you!" Yenia said sincerely.
"Actually, this time the mining season is over, and you can go to work in our boss's mine." Su Bin suddenly said, "The mine is in Tomsk, and there is a need for locals. Vera is your friend if you need to work......"
"Really? I'll tell Vera when I get back! When Yenia heard this, she was really happy!
Su Bin thought to himself, and then he could continue to cooperate.
And after Viktor and Popov left, they were unwilling.
He suddenly said to Popov:
"Captain, those people should be illegal to dig ivory, right?"
"It should be." Popov was absent-minded, and another five thousand dollars were missing, which is really a big loss!
"How about we report them?" Victor suddenly said excitedly, "They are from Huaxia, those patrol teams should be very happy, right?" β
Popov's eyes lit up, this is a good idea! (End of chapter)
