"Brother Zhao, how .....are you doing here?"

After a while, everyone sat around the bonfire, but Zhang Kai couldn't help but look at the surroundings with mare's milk wine in his hand.

"Haha! Brother Zhang, if you want to say it, it's a bit of a stumble here. But that's pretty good.

Outer Mongolia went south, and now there is a place to live, and it is not easy to stutter. It's just that the brothers have just arrived, and no matter how good the conditions are, I can't meet them for the time being. ”

Zhao Ming smiled and shook his head with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Kai was also silent, before he came, he had heard about Zhao Ming's achievements here, and thought that Zhao Ming had already lived a life of eating and drinking spicy food here. What did you think it would look like this.

But at this moment, Zhao Ming smiled, "Hahaha, but Brother Zhang, I have a big deal here!" I don't know ..... you Interested? ”

Saying that, Zhao Ming turned to look at Boss Guo on the other side, who had fled with him temporarily.

In the event of this incident, it is impossible for Boss Guo to return to Rehe and return to the northeast, and there are only three guards left, so he can only temporarily stay here and wait for the situation to improve before making plans.

Seeing Zhao Ming looking at him at the same time, he asked with a smile, "Boss Guo, what do you think?" ”

"Buying and selling? What to buy and sell? ”

Zhang Kai took the lead in asking, feeling that his brain was buzzing, why did he suddenly get involved in business when he first came?

There are also some unexpected Boss Guo, Boss Guo is also quite surprised, isn't the next business already negotiated? Is it something else?

Zhao Ming didn't rush to answer, but beckoned to Ah Fu in the distance and asked him to lead a few horses.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see something good!"

Saying that, Zhao Ming had already turned over on his horse, and seeing this, Boss Guo and Zhang Kai were suspicious and rode their horses to follow.

Passing through the interior of Huo Zhongtun and coming directly to the rear, a few hundred meters further is the peak of the straight rise, it is impossible to eat and have nothing to do, Zhao Ming took them to climb the mountain, right?

It's just that Zhao Ming didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the two had to suppress the doubts in their hearts and continue to follow.

When you come to the bottom of the mountain, you can already see a lot of rubble, some of which have slid down from the top.

The mountain is not very steep, it belongs to the type of gentle middle and lower sections, and the top is high and steep.

Therefore, you can still see the green grass in the middle and lower part of the mountain.

Zhao Ming turned over and dismounted, and saw that the two of them were still puzzled.

Then they found that Zhao Ming was rummaging for something on the ground, pushing away a thin layer of snow, and the first thing they saw was some gravel, but when they looked for it, they found that Zhao Ming had picked up a stone.

"Brother Zhao, you won't bring us all the way to see the stones, right?" Zhang Kai couldn't help grinning.

"What stones! Sir Zhao, can you show me? ”

Boss Guo is a discerning person, and with a hint of excitement in his tone, he stepped forward and asked.

"Take it, it's for you to see."

Zhao Ming threw it casually, but Boss Guo took it very solemnly, took it in his hand and began to look at it carefully.

Not only did he look left and right, but he also rubbed it carefully with his hands and bit it with his teeth.

At this time, Zhang Kai also saw clearly what this was, and a look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

"Zhao.... Brother Zhao, are there more of these here? ”

Zhang Kai couldn't help but lick his lips that were dry because of the cold, but he had just finished licking it, and he almost didn't let his tongue and lips freeze together.

"Many?"

Zhao Ming seemed to have heard a big joke, and immediately laughed and pointed to the large mountain col not far away and said with a smile, "You can pick these up casually here, what do you think?" ”

Boom!

The two swallowing saliva sounded almost at the same time, and Zhang Kai and Boss Guo both looked at Zhao Ming dumbfounded.

Colliery!

A natural open-pit coal mine!

Boss Guo thought about it and rummaged carefully on the ground, but he did find a lot of black and shiny ore when he rummaged casually, and he deliberately went to a slightly farther place to stir up the snow, and similar ores were also found here.

But he calmed down.

Looking at Zhao Ming's eyes, he regained his composure again, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Chief Zhao, I roughly understand what you mean, there is indeed a natural open-pit coal mine here, and the coal content in it should not be low.

But the situation here is a bit special, first of all, the manpower and transportation, even if there is a coal mine here, I don't think it is too valuable. ”

Boss Guo still has a hand in business, and he can see the door at once.

A natural open-pit coal mine is highly valuable if it is not located in some extremely difficult terrain and can quickly attract a lot of investment.

But that was in later generations, when the value of coal was not very high, and the price of oil did not rise to the sky.

This is mainly due to the fact that domestic industrialization is not so high, and the utilization rate cannot be improved, not to mention how high the value is.

Of course, there is value, but it depends on the place.

In today's era, without the existence of a large number of mining machinery, mining requires a large number of laborers, and secondly, there needs to be a certain amount of transportation nearby, preferably with a railway nearby.

However, Zhao Ming has neither of these here, even if the transportation is just a little less convenient and there are more laborers, it can develop here.

It's a pity that there are not many people on the grassland, and it's okay to be responsible for raising cattle and sheep, and the production capacity from mining with excess population may not be able to afford everyone to eat and drink.

For Boss Guo's vision, Zhao Ming recognized it very much.

Some later novels describe the situation of a coal mine getting rich in ancient times or modern times.

So next, Zhao Ming had to rely on flickering.

The smile on his face remained unchanged, and Zhao Ming continued to smile and said, "Boss Guo, you are right, it is true that coal mines are worth a lot of money, but they require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Then there's good transportation.

Putting that aside, let's talk about the value of the coal mine here. ”

Zhao Ming knows a truth very well and wants to deceive.... Pull investment, the most important thing is to throw out a bait first, there is not enough interest, it is estimated that others are also lacking in interest when they talk about it later.

He only discovered the situation in Huo Zhongtun in the last few days, he only had a quick glimpse in Huo Zhongtun before, and recently he was going to settle here for a long time, so Zhao Ming naturally wanted to come out to inspect the situation around.

Although the herdsmen in the tunzi still burned mainly animal dung, he also found that many people also added some black ore.

When burned, it emits a pungent smell of rotten eggs, which is the result of freshly mined sulfur.

Freshly mined and unprocessed ore emits toxic gases, and Zhao Ming immediately ordered people to prohibit the incineration of this substance.

At the same time, I went out to explore and had a rough guess about the scale of the Huozhongtun open-pit coal mine.
