Pick up treasure

"Brother Ding, about [-] kilometers away from here is the place where the batch of gold is buried on the map."

Wang Ding was taken aback by Qian Le's words, and quickly glanced up and down. The two railcars were still tens of meters away from him, and then he looked in the direction of Qian Le's finger.

"That's Savage Mountain?"

In the direction of Qian Le's finger, Wang Ding could only see the continuous mountains, lush forests, and towering trees, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.

"Yes, that's the direction."

"It looks so eerie."

"Yeah, it seems that this treasure hunt will not go well."

The people in front and behind are far away, and Qian Le is not afraid of being heard by them. He pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "If my visual inspection is correct, thirty kilometers is almost the distance from here to that mountain..."

"Ah one one one one one"

Although Wang Ding had been mentally prepared for a long time, after looking at the mountain, he still sucked in a breath of air. He didn't think that he could easily find it if he could see it from here. As the saying goes, Wangshan ran to death Ma, the distance of [-] kilometers is much more difficult than I imagined.

"Actually, this is considered Savage Mountain. You can get there from the bottom of the mountain, but I don't know if there is a path to go. Otherwise, three or four hours may not be enough to go back and forth..."

Qian Le also frowned. From here, there are all mountain roads and jungles everywhere. Qian Le is not afraid of getting lost, but the beasts, poisonous snakes and miasma in the jungle can kill people. The two wanted to hunt for treasure, maybe they would lose their lives.

When Wang Ding heard Qian Le's words, his heart was half cold. Although gold is attractive, life is more important. Wang Ding is not a person who is short of money. The reason why he found this place is entirely out of curiosity in his heart. Seeing such a situation now, my heart is already retreating.

Qian Le nodded silently. Although he was curious about the gold, he was not greedy.

The speed of this rail car is very slow. It doesn't look like a very high mountain, but the slope is very long. It took half an hour before it reached the top of the mountain.

The entire top of the mountain has been razed to the ground and turned into a huge platform. There are still seven or eight "strange hand" excavators. I really don't know how Wu Gang transported it up.

There are several kinds of work on the mountain. Some people are following the strange hand excavator to inspect the rough jadeite, some are drilling holes and blasting on the mountain, and some are going up and down in several deep pits. Wang Ding and Qian Le who came up, even Wu Gang and the two teaching skills were busy.

The two professors were squatting on the ground to check the excavated rocks to distinguish their age and the state of the earth's crust at that time, so as to analyze whether this is the environment for the growth of emeralds. Go to the mine and check it out.

"How about it, brother, this is the emerald mine, this is our territory, you can look around, no one will stop you, and help my brother to see if this is an abandoned mine?"

After Wu Gang saw Wang Ding coming up, he called a person in charge on the mountain to accompany the two professors, and walked towards Wang Ding by himself.

"Brother Ang, I just came here for fun, but I don't have the ability to see the mines..."

"It's okay, you can go around as you like, the most you can do is turn off this mine..."

There was a wry smile on Wu Gang's face. This sentence is simple, but if it is really turned off, then the Wu family's vitality will be seriously injured.

"If you don't invest much, it's okay to close it..." Wang Ding said casually.

"Not much investment? Brother, I invested a total of 8000 million US dollars in it. In addition to the money paid to the government, it is these infrastructures that cost almost [-] US dollars. If the emeralds cannot be produced, the old Brother will be miserable..."

Wang Ding was one of his own, and Wu Gang was not afraid of exposing himself, so he said all the things that had been in his heart for a long time.Eight... $8000 million?There are so many? "

Wang Ding was taken aback when he heard the words. According to the current market exchange rate, this number is really not small. The total value of his new jade mine in Xinjiang is only about [-] billion, and the investment is only tens of millions. The investment is so huge. "Oh, brother, I made a mistake this time..." Wu Gang sighed, and told Wang Ding the ins and outs of this matter.

It turned out that this new mine was jointly explored by major jadeite companies in Myanmar and the government. Various exploration results at that time showed that this mine contained extremely rich jadeite veins, and it could be called the largest mine in Myanmar, so the tender was called for in the later stage. At that time, major companies were attracted to bid frantically.

Since the old mines of the Wu Gang family have almost been mined, and the new mines have not been expanded, and when the mine was explored, Wu's company was also involved, and it was agreed that it was a rich mine, so Wu Gang spent a lot of money at that time. At the price, he won the mining right of this mine.

In addition to paying the combined exploration costs of nearly 20 U.S. dollars for all the original companies, a deposit of 600 million U.S. dollars was paid to the Myanmar government.

Coupled with the seventy-seven eighty-eighth investment in the early stage, the total cost has reached 8000 million US dollars. If there is no profit, Wu's company will lose a lot this time.

Because Burmese Military and Political Ax still owns [-]% of the dry shares, the minimum standard amount of dividends is clearly written in the tender document, even if there is no output, Wu’s company also needs to pay the Government Ax, unless the mine is transferred to the government. It's just that in this situation, no one is stupid, and no one will take over.

"Brother Ang, you paid too much for buying this mine, right? It's understandable to pay the exploration fee, and it's normal to pay the deposit, but the [-]% stake in the government is waiting for dividends. This condition is too high." It's harsh, if the emeralds are not mined, who dares to say that they will definitely make money?"

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Ding shook his head again and again. The jade mine he cooperated with Lord Jade had nothing to do with politics at all, but I heard that a document was issued recently, and the government would also start to rectify it, but For the mines that have been mined in the early stage, they will not be moved.

Needless to say, Wang Ding, Wu Gang has regretted it for a long time, but the contract has already been signed. If he unilaterally tears up the contract, he will be suppressed by the Myanmar government and all mining companies. A little money from the Burmese government is much more serious.

"Angkor, didn't the government pay for your initial investment?"

"They pay? It's a joke, they are poor and expect to take money from our pockets..."

To put it bluntly, the military and government in Myanmar mean that everything is ignored. In Myanmar, there is no such thing as taxation, so the poor in Myanmar's government are similar to beggars. In order to support the army, they can only sell resources desperately.

The main revenue of the finances naturally comes from these resource companies. If you want to mine new mines, you must obtain the consent of the government and have enough benefits to proceed. They only ask for money, and they don’t ask for anything else. It just hollowed out the whole of Myanmar, and they didn't ask any more questions.

"This... is it okay?" Wang Ding was dumbfounded.

"What is this? If you want to talk about the trade between Myanmar and China, it is even more outrageous. Do you know what the trade distribution model between the two parties looks like?" Wang Ding shook his head.

"That is, China takes everything and the Burmese get nothing..." When Wu Gang was speaking, he didn't know whether he should be proud of his motherland or feel sad for the Selenium where he lived.Wang Ding was dumbfounded at this time, how dare he do business like this?

As mentioned earlier, Myanmar is basically a half-divided country with no government. The central government’s annual fiscal revenue is only 2 million yuan. If this money is used in China, it can probably build half a university. In short, for a country , this agreement is equivalent to no.

Therefore, the Burmese government has neither the ability to quell the separatist regime. For the Burmese government, war is an unimaginable luxury, nor is it capable of dealing with disasters. However, the Chinese government is often affected by an earthquake. Billion capital to calculate.

Myanmar is even less capable of safeguarding economic sovereignty. Any large Chinese company is richer than the Myanmar government.

At the same time, because Myanmar traditionally has no tax burden, the military and government axe dare not levy various taxes for the sake of political stability. As a result, the tax law is useless and the treasury has no source at all.

Under the specific national conditions of Myanmar, the government has problems even maintaining the financial resources that exist in the state. Therefore, from the central government to the local government, the only way out for governments at all levels is to sell resources.

Wang Ding did not expect that Myanmar, which has always been a vassal state of China in ancient times, would be so poor.

Myanmar has fewer people and more land, but it is extremely rich in resources, especially the reserves of precious wood and underground gemstones, which rank among the top in the world.

According to what Wu Gang said, the current main content of the China-Myanmar border trade is: the Burmese dig out raw jadeite from the depths of the mountains, cut down precious trees such as teak and yew, and sell them to Chinese businessmen who are waiting by the side. Return to China to make jewelry and furniture, and then use the money earned to help the Burmese build roads one by one in order to dig more emeralds deeper into the mountains and cut more trees.

As a result, the Burmese used their own labor to dig out their own resources and gave them to the Chinese. In the end, they only got one road, and this road is likely to be controlled by Chinese businessmen. You may have to keep paying!

"Brother Ang, what you said is not true, is it?"

Wang Ding never dreamed of the things Wu Gang said. How dare our country is so powerful. Of course, this kind of method is a bit unreasonable.

"Why isn't it true? Just ask your friends who do border trade. In fact, the Chinese are very kind..."

Wu Gang has grown up so much, perhaps he sighed the most today. Speaking of these things, his psychology is also more complicated. After all, one country is his root, while another country is the place where he was born and raised. He can't say no. Know which side you are headed for. "kind?"

Wang Ding was confused by Wu Gang's words, earning other people's money and using other people's things, no matter what, it doesn't match the word "honesty", right?

After Wu Gang's explanation, Wang Ding came to understand that it is really kind to dare to love China's trade method.

Because China finally left some real things in Myanmar, which will help Myanmar gradually realize economic integration with China. Maybe after a few years, Myanmar can rely on China to transport a big ship and get some more real things. Interests.

Compared with the trade method between China and Myanmar, the means used by the United States to control Latin America are even worse. It actually beat a resource-rich country like Brazil to half-death, took away their resources for nothing, and made the Brazilians owe a Ass debt.

From Wu Gang's mouth, Wang Ding heard a story that almost seemed out of the blue: Brazil was forced to use more than 50.00% of the national tax revenue to repay the interest on the US loan... Well, it was only enough to repay the interest.

Compared with Lao Mei, China is indeed kind, and Wang Ding also understands that Lao Mei wants to be an international policeman all day long, sending troops to fight in the east and send troops to the west, which is also beneficial.

Now, the Burmese military and political ax can only make decisions from these domestic Jinyuan companies. They have a very tight control on domestic communication, because it is related to whether the government still has food to eat.Wang Ding couldn't imagine that the government of a country was so mixed up.

This emerald mine has been mined for nearly three months, and Wu Gang has been a bit sleepy for a while, because so far, the emerald rough stones that have been dug out contain quite a small amount of emerald, although it cannot be ruled out that the reason why no veins have been found , but it is also very likely to be a waste mine.

In recent years, Wu Gang has established jewelry companies in Southeast Asia, China and Taiwan. The amount of investment is large, and because the company has not been in business for a short period of time, it has not yet started to make profits. After taking out the 8000 million US dollars, he In terms of funds, it has also become a bit stretched.

For the Wu family to occupy a place in Myanmar, it also needs money, among other things, but the annual expenditure of China City is an astronomical sum.

In fact, Wu Gang's current thinking is very simple, as long as the people in the family can live well, then it will be done.

However, the current situation is very bad. If this mine is really an abandoned mine, Wu Gang is ready to sever his wrist and return it to the Burmese government. The previous investment should be regarded as a loss. It is better than continuing to go down like a bottomless pit. It is better to spend money here, and then emigrate abroad, and the Myanmar government can't control it.

With Wu's financial resources, it is too easy to invest in immigration, but they have been rooted in Myanmar for hundreds of years, and there are many followers, it is really impossible to leave.

After chatting with Wu Gang, he also went to see the mine veins. Wang Ding himself began to look closely at the mined rough stones. He was following a group of people, and this pair of people followed behind the strange-handed excavator. Use iron drills or eyes to identify whether the stones shoveled out by the excavator are rough jadeite.

The way they identify it is very simple, that is, to poke it with an iron rod to see the marks left and listen to the sound. Maybe this mine is really an abandoned mine. Wang Ding followed them for more than half an hour, using the aura in his eyes I saw that there was not a single rough jadeite.

And these people also have some real skills. At least within half an hour, they didn't put a single stone on the cart. It must have been identified by their unique method.

After watching it for a while, Wang Ding felt a little bored, so he turned to another direction, turned his back to Qian Le, and looked down with his eyes.

Wang Ding's eyes were inexplicably improved in Mandela's temple, and now he can see through objects at a distance of more than 30 meters. He wanted to help Wu Gang and see what is [-] meters underground Within the range, whether there are emerald veins.

After looking at several places in succession, Wang Ding shook his head and left. The rock formations here are basically pyroxene rocks. It stands to reason that there should be ore veins, but Wang Ding found a few sporadic emeralds. , and did not see relatively concentrated emerald veins.

Although this mountain is not small, after wandering around for more than an hour, Wang Ding basically looked at all the underground that is being mined, and there is no such exciting mineral vein.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Ding was just picking up stones all over the ground, and not many people paid attention to him. When it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, the goods still had not been received, and Wu Gang and everyone were ready to go down the mountain.

The two professors, Ma and Liang, had already taken the car down first, while Wu Gang was waiting for Wang Ding with a bad complexion.

"What's the matter, Brother Wu, are you not optimistic about your teaching skills?" Wang Ding stepped forward and asked.

"Stay overnight today, and we need to observe for a few more days. However, Professor Ma said that when these pyroxenes are formed under low temperature and high pressure, the pressure may not be enough, which leads to changes in the growth environment of thistle. If it is further 20 meters down If you can’t get out of the vein, it’s basically a waste mine…”

This news did not make Wu Gang happy. He had invested tens of millions of dollars. If there were no mine veins, all of this money would be in vain.

Wang Ding didn't have anything to say to comfort Wu Gang, because he looked at the ore veins, and it seemed that he was not optimistic.

Turning around, Qian Le and Wu Gang got on the rail car, and drove slowly down the mountain. It took nearly an hour to go up and down.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and there was no scenery to see, so Wang Ding was bored and cast the sunlight on the mountain wall above.The winter in Myanmar belongs to the dry season, and usually there will be no rain for several months. At this time, the sun sets in the west, and a red fire cloud appears in the sky. Half of the clouds in the sky seem to be ignited by the fire, which is very beautiful.

Standing on the rail car, Wang Ding found that the bodies of Qian Le and Wu Gang beside him were all reflected in golden yellow, and even the rocks in front of them were also bright red, and the lush forest in the distance was also covered with a layer of red. Golden tunic.

The Huoshaoyun didn't last long, and disappeared after a few minutes. The rail car was still driving down the mountain. It didn't look like 10 minutes, and it was difficult to get down to the foot of the mountain.

Due to the mine veins, Wu Gang was not in a good mood, neither Wang Ding nor Qian Le spoke, only the sound of the mountain wind blowing in their ears.

Bored, Wang Ding looked at the balanced four rails. The width of the four rails was about four meters. Including the cleared area around, the total width was more than six meters. The total length of this slope should be nearly a thousand meters. about.

The trees along the way have been cut down, and there are some small stones under the railroad track. Being able to open such a track on such a steep mountain shows how much Wu Gang invested in the early stage. (To be continued.)
