    "Brother Ding, about thirty kilometers from here is where the gold is buried on the map." Qian Le's words made Wang Ding stunned for a moment, and he quickly looked up and down. The two rail cars were still dozens of miles away from him.  Mi Yuan 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 rising from the ground, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.  "Yes, that's the direction." "It looks so spooky." "Yes, this treasure hunting trip doesn't look like it will go smoothly." The people in front and behind are relatively far away, and Qian Le is not afraid of being heard by them.  , pointing to a hilltop in the distance and said: "If my visual inspection is correct, thirty kilometers is almost the distance from here to that hilltop" "Ah, one by one, one by one." Although Wang Ding has already  He was mentally prepared, but after looking at the top of the mountain, he still took a breath of air. He didn't think that if he could see it from here, he could easily find it. As the saying goes, if you look at the mountain, the horse will die. This thirty-kilometer journey  The distance is much more difficult than I imagined.  "Actually, this is already considered Savage Mountain. You can get there from the bottom of the mountain. I just don't know if there is a trail. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be enough to go back and forth in three or four hours" Qian Le also frowned.  From here, there are all mountain roads, and there are 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 want to hunt for treasures, but they say no  Almost all lives will be lost.  When Wang Ding heard Qian Le's words, his heart became 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 purely out of curiosity.  Now that I see this situation, I have already given up.  Qian Le nodded silently. Although he was curious about the gold, he was not greedy.  This rail car ascends very slowly. 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 actually seven or eight "weird" excavators. I really don't know how Wu Gang transported it up.  There are several types of work on the mountain. Some people are following the excavator to inspect the jadeite rough, some are drilling holes and blasting on the mountain, and some are going up and down in several deep pits. Anyway, apart from just  Wang Ding and Qian Le came up, and even Wu Gang and the two instructors were busy.  The two professors were squatting on the ground and looking at the excavated rocks to determine the age of their formation and the conditions of the earth's crust at that time, so as to analyze whether this was the environment for the growth of jade. If they wait for a while, they will probably come down again.  Go into the mine and check it out.  "How about it, brother, this is the jade mine, this is our territory, you can look around as you like, no one will stop you, and help me see if this is an abandoned mine?" After Wu Gang saw Wang Ding coming up,  , asked a person in charge on the mountain to accompany the two professors, and walked towards Wang Ding himself.  "Brother Wu, I'm just here to have fun, but I don't have the ability to see the veins" "It's okay, you can just walk around, the most you can do is close the mine" A wry smile appeared on Wu Gang's face,  This sentence is simple to say, but if it is really turned off, the Wu family's vitality will be seriously damaged.  "If there is not much investment, it is not a bad idea to close it down" Wang Ding said confidently.  "Not much investment? Brother, I invested a total of 80 million U.S. dollars in it. In addition to the money paid to the government, it cost almost 200,000 U.S. dollars for these infrastructures. If we can no longer produce jade, this will  The second brother is in trouble" "Wang Ding is one of his own, Wu Gang is not afraid of exposing his shortcomings, and says what he has been pressing on his heart for a long time.  Eightyeighty million dollars?  There are so many?  " Wang Ding was shocked when he heard this. According to the current market exchange rate, this number is really not small. The total value of his jade mine in Xinjiang is only about 1.5 billion, and the investment is only tens of millions. He did not expect this jadeite  The investment in the mine is so huge. "Oh, brother, I made a mistake this time" Wu Gang sighed and told Wang Ding the whole story. It turns out that this new mine is owned by major jade companies in Myanmar.  Various exploration results at that time showed that this mine contained extremely rich jadeite veins and could be regarded as the largest mine in Myanmar. Therefore, during the later bidding period, major companies were bidding wildly.The original old mines of the Wu Gang family have almost been mined, and the new mines have not expanded the business. When the mine was explored, people from the Wu company also participated, and they unanimously believed that it was a rich mine, so Wu Gang spent a lot of money at that time.  At a price, the mining rights of this mine were obtained.  In addition to paying the exploration costs of nearly 200,000 US dollars for all the original companies, a security deposit of 6 million US dollars was paid to the Myanmar government. Coupled with the 7788 upfront investment here, the total cost has been  It has reached 80 million US dollars. If there is no more profit, Wu's company will suffer a huge loss this time.  Because Myanmar's military government still owns 10% of the shares, the minimum standard amount of dividends is clearly written in the bidding document. Even if there is no output, Wu's company will still need to pay money to the government unless it changes hands and sells the mine.  Sell ??it out, but in this situation, no one is stupid, and no one will take it over.  "Brother Wu, the price you paid for buying this mine is too high, isn't it? It's understandable to pay the exploration fee, and it's normal to pay the deposit, but the 10% stake in the government is waiting for dividends. This condition is too high.  "That's harsh. The jade has not been mined. Who can say that it will be profitable?" After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Ding shook his head repeatedly. The jade mine he cooperated with Lord Jade had no political issues at all. However,  I heard that a document was issued recently, and the government is also going to start rectifying it, but the mines that have been mined in the early stage will not be touched.  Needless to say, Wang Ding said that Wu Gang had already regretted it, but the contract had already been signed. If he unilaterally broke the contract, he would be suppressed by the Myanmar government and all mining companies, and the consequences would be higher than the annual payment.  The Burmese government is much more serious if it only costs a little money.  "Angkor, didn't the government pay for your initial investment?" "They paid for it? What a joke, they are so poor that they expect to take money from our pockets" To put it bluntly, Myanmar's military and government do not care about anything.  In Myanmar, there is no such thing as taxation, so the poor people in Myanmar are like beggars. In order to support the army, they can only sell resources desperately.  The main financial revenue naturally comes from these resource companies. If you want to mine new mines, you must get the consent of the government and there are enough benefits to proceed. They only want money and nothing else. You  Even if they hollowed out the entire Myanmar, they wouldn't even ask a single question.  "Thisis this okay?" Wang Ding was dumbfounded.  "What is this? When it comes to trade between Myanmar and China, it is even more outrageous. Do you know what the trade distribution model between the two sides looks like?" Wang Ding shook his head.  "That means China took everything away, and the Burmese people got 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 this kind of business?  As mentioned before, Myanmar is basically a semi-divided and anarchic country. The central government¡¯s annual fiscal revenue is only 200 million yuan. This amount of money can be used to build half a university in China. In short, for a country  , this agreement is equal to nothing.  Therefore, the Burmese government has neither the ability to quell the separatist regime, for which war is an unimaginable luxury, nor the ability to deal with disasters, while the Chinese government is prone to disasters caused by an earthquake, which often exceeds thousands.  It is calculated based on billions of funds.  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 has traditionally had no tax burden, the military and government did not dare to levy various taxes for the sake of political stability. As a result, the tax law was in name only and the national treasury had no source at all.  Under the specific national conditions of Myanmar, the government has problems even with the financial resources to maintain the country's formal existence. Therefore, from the central to the local governments, the only way out for governments at all levels is to sell resources.  Wang Ding never thought that Myanmar, which had 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 precious wood and underground gem reserves, which are among the top in the world.  According to Wu Gang, the current main content of China-Myanmar border trade is that the Burmese dig out jadeite ores from deep in the mountains, cut down precious trees such as teak and yew, and sell them to Chinese businessmen who are waiting on the side.  Return to the country to make jewelry and furniture, and then use the money earned to help the Burmese people build roads to dig more jade deeper into the mountains and cut down more trees.  As a result, the Burmese people used their own labor force to dig out their own resources and gave them to the Chinese. In the end, they only got one road, and this road is probably controlled by Chinese businessmen. In the future, future generations of the Burmese people will follow this road.  Not sure yet??Keep paying!  "Brother Wu, what you said is not true, is it?" Wang Ding had never dreamed of the things Wu Gang said. We dare to think that our country is so powerful. Of course, this method is not very popular.  "Why isn't it true? Just ask your friends who are engaged in border trade. In fact, the Chinese are quite kind" Wu Gang has grown so big that perhaps he sighs the most today. When it comes to these things, his psychology  It's also quite complicated. After all, one country is his root, while the other country is the place where he was born and raised. He can't tell which side he is leaning towards.  "Honest?" Wang Ding was confused by Wu Gang. Making other people's money and using other people's things doesn't have anything to do with being kind, right?  After Wu Gang¡¯s explanation, Wang Ding finally understood that China¡¯s trade method was really kind.  Because China finally left some real things in Myanmar, which will help Myanmar and China gradually realize economic integration. Maybe in a few years, Myanmar can rely on a large Chinese ship to get some more real things.  Interests.  Compared with the trade method between China and Myanmar, the United States' methods of controlling Latin America are even worse. It actually beat a resource-rich country like Brazil to death, took away other people's resources in vain, and made the Brazilians owe a fortune.  Ass debt.  From Wu Gang's mouth, Wang Ding heard something that seemed like a fantasy: Brazil was once forced to use more than 50% of its national tax revenue to repay the interest on U.S. loans Well, it was just enough to repay the interest.  of interest.  Compared with the United States, China is indeed kind. Wang Ding also understands that the United States wants to be an international policeman all day long and send troops to fight in the east and to the west. This also has benefits.  Now, the Myanmar military and government can only make decisions from these domestic Jinyuan companies. They have very tight control over domestic communications, because it is related to whether the government can still have a living.  Wang Ding could not imagine that the political ax of a country could actually get mixed up to this extent.  This jadeite mine has been mined for nearly three months. Wu Gang was indeed a bit sleepy during this period because the jadeite rough stones dug out so far contain a very small amount of jadeite. Although it cannot be ruled out that the reason for not finding the vein is  , 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 investment amount is large, and because the company has been in business for a short time, it has not yet started to make profits. After spending the 80 million US dollars,  He also became somewhat strapped for funds.  For the Wu family to occupy a place in Myanmar, it also requires money. Among other things, the annual expenses of China Town are astronomical.  In fact, Wu Gang¡¯s current thinking is very simple. As long as the people in the family can live a good life, that¡¯s it.  However, the current situation is very bad. If this mine is really a waste mine, Wu Gang is ready to cut off his arms and return it to the Myanmar government. The previous investment will be regarded as lost. It is better than continuing like a bottomless pit.  It's better to spend money here and then immigrate abroad, and the Myanmar government can't control it.  With the financial resources of the Wu family, it is too easy to invest in immigration. However, they have been rooted in Myanmar for hundreds of years and have many followers, so they cannot just leave.  After chatting with Wu Gang, he also went to see the mineral veins. Wang Ding himself began to take a closer look at the mined rough stones. He followed a group of people, and this pair of people followed the strange excavator.  Use a drill or your eyes to identify whether the stone shoveled out by the excavator is jadeite.  The way they identified it was very simple, which was to poke it with an iron drill, look at the marks left and listen to the sound. Maybe this mine was really an abandoned mine. Wang Ding followed them and looked at it for more than half an hour, using the aura in his eyes to  I saw that there was no jadeite stone.  ¡°And these people also have some real skills. At least within this half hour, they didn¡¯t put a single stone on the cart. They must have identified it using their unique method.  After watching it for a while, Wang Ding felt a little bored, so he walked around in another direction, turned his back to Qian Le, and looked down at the ground with his eyes.  Wang Ding's eyes had been inexplicably improved in Mandela's temple. Now he could see through objects at a distance of nearly a hundred meters. He wanted to help Wu Gang and see what was thirty years underground.  Is there any jadeite vein within a meter range?  After looking at several places in succession, Wang Ding shook his head and left. The rock layers here are basically all pyroxenite. It stands to reason that there should be mineral veins, but Wang Ding found only a few sporadic jadeite.  , and did not see a relative concentration ofof jadeite veins.  Although this hilltop is not small, after wandering around for more than an hour, Wang Ding basically looked over the underground area being mined, and there was no such exciting mineral vein.  To outsiders, Wang Ding was just picking up stones all over the ground. Not many people paid attention to him. When it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, the goods were still not received. Wu Gang and everyone were ready to go down the mountain.  Professors Ma and Liang had already gone down by car first, while Wu Gang looked not so good and was waiting for Wang Ding.  "What's the matter, Brother Wu, are you not optimistic about your teaching skills?" Wang Ding stepped forward and asked.  "Stay one night today and have to observe it for a few more days. However, Professor Ma said that when these pyroxenes were generated under low temperature and high pressure, the pressure was probably not enough, causing the growth environment of thistles to change. If it continues for another twenty  If there is no vein of rice, it is basically a waste mine" This news really made Wu Gang unhappy. He had invested tens of millions of dollars. If there were no veins, all the money would be wasted.  Wang Ding had nothing to say to comfort Wu Gang, because after looking at the mineral vein, he didn't seem to be optimistic.  Turning around, I got on the rail car with Qian Le and Wu Gang, and drove slowly down the mountain. This trip took nearly an hour.  By this time, the sky was getting dark, and there was not much scenery to see. Wang Ding was bored and cast the sunlight on the mountain wall above.  Winter in Myanmar is the dry season, and it usually doesn't rain for several months. At this time, the sun sets in the west, and red fire clouds appear on the horizon. Half of the sky seems to be ignited by fire, and it is extremely beautiful.  Wang Ding, who was standing on the rail car, noticed that Qian Le and Wu Gang beside him were all reflected in golden color. Even the rocks in front were bright red, and the lush forest in the distance was also covered with a layer of red.  Golden coat.  The fire cloud didn¡¯t last long, and disappeared after a few minutes. The rail car was still driving down the mountain. It didn¡¯t last ten minutes, and it was difficult to get down to the foot of the mountain.  Because of the mineral vein, Wu Gang was in a bad mood. Neither Wang Ding nor Qian Le spoke, and there was only the sound of the mountain wind blowing in their ears.  Out of boredom, Wang Ding looked at the four balanced rails. The four rails were about four meters wide. Including the cleared area around them, the total width was more than six meters. The total length of this slope should be nearly one thousand meters.  about.  The trees along the way have been cut down, and some small stones are paved under the rails. Being able to drive such a track on such a steep mountain shows how much Wu Gang invested in the early stage.  (To be continued.)
