Rock never argues with an idiot, because an idiot will bring a normal person's IQ to the same level as him, and then defeat you with rich experience.
So Rock didn't pay attention to Kevin. His biggest contempt for idiots was to ignore him. Whatever he said, whatever he did, Rock just pretended that he didn't exist and saw how long he could bounce around.
Rock still respects senior experts like Nelson Holt.
"Go and try, Inspector. If you find a gold mine, don't forget to register it with the Bureau of Mines. If you need mining equipment, I can recommend several reliable companies." Nelson Holt was by no means a joke, it was just a matter of friendship.
That kind of joke.
By the way, although Kevin is also a staff member of the Bureau of Mines and is the son of the Director of Mines, Nelson Holt does not need to flatter Kevin. If he only flatters Kevin, he can probably become the Director's coachman, but it is absolutely impossible.
Become deputy director.
In other words, most people who can be deputy directors have two skills, or their family members have two skills.
"No problem, if you can find a gold mine, I'll pack all the cigars for you for the rest of your life." Rock was generous. Rock had shared cigars with Nelson Holt when they were on the train.
Regarding this point, the habits between the East and the West are completely different.
Although Orientals are frugal, they are still very generous to their friends, so Orientals often rush to pay bills.
Westerners are different. Regardless of whether they have money or not, going out to eat with friends is mostly an aa system. Sometimes couples even have an aa system. That is a standard way of living together.
Nelson Holt and his party came to Johannesburg to prepare for the gold mine auction that will take place some time ago.
There is a document in Nelson Holt that lists the gold mines that will be auctioned in the near future. Some gold mines had a large mining volume before the outbreak of the war, some gold mines had an average mining volume, and some gold mines have ceased production.
In fact, those gold mines that have ceased production are not completely devoid of gold, but because the quality of the ore is too low, no one cares about it.
Of course, the taste here is too low compared to the large gold mines in the Rand Mine. Under normal circumstances, even the low-grade gold mines in the Rand Mine can be considered good quality outside the Rand Mine.
high class.
Regarding the taste of gold mines, it is similar to that of oil. The country with the largest oil reserves in the world is actually not Saudi Arabia, but Venezuela in South America.
But in the 21st century, Venezuela is not the richest country in the world. The reason is that Venezuela’s oil is of low grade and difficult to extract, so it cannot sell it to Saudi Arabia.
It is said that the cost of extracting a barrel of oil in Saudi Arabia is only two to three dollars, and how much does it cost in Venezuela?
About $23.50!
This is the importance of taste.
The same goes for gold mines. The same two gold mines dig out one ton of ore every day. The one with higher ore grade can get nine kilograms of gold from one ton of ore, while the one next door can only get nine kilograms of gold from one ton of ore.
20 grams of gold, this is the difference.
You can imagine the mood of the family who could only get 20 grams of gold from one ton of ore.
Well, the one with 9 kilograms is from Fosterville Gold Mine in Victoria, Australia, and the one with 20 grams is from Rand Gold Mine.
20 grams sounds like a lot, right?
In fact, for ordinary gold mines, the ore grade can reach 20 grams, which is an out-and-out rich ore. If there is no gold mine with an ore grade of 9000 grams next door, the mine owner will probably laugh out of his dreams.
But the gold mine next door has a grade of 9,000 grams. The mine owner is probably cursing God in his dreams.
This is the case with these closed gold mines in Johannesburg.
"Are these closed gold mines also going to be auctioned?" Luo Ke was very curious.
"It's really Shabi, who would want such a gold mine!" Kevin was full of fire.
With this tone, even Nelson Holt was speechless and shook his head. Turning back to face Rock, Nelson Holt was still patient: "These gold mines will not be auctioned. We are here this time to verify whether these gold mines are still there."
There is no value in re-mining.”
Gold mines are just like oil. Some gold mines are still being mined and there is no gold. It does not mean that the gold has been mined out. Sometimes you will be surprised if you dig deeper.
Nelson Holt is here to determine whether there are any Easter eggs in these closed gold mines.
"Then that means, no matter whether these gold mines are still worth mining or not, some people must be Shabi!" Roque also scolded people in a very despicable way.
Kevin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Rock didn't mention him by name, so Kevin couldn't even try to answer him.
"Hahahaha, yes, if it proves that these gold mines are still valuable for mining, then the person who gave up these gold mines is indeed Shabi!" Nelson Holt is also a wonderful person, and he picked up the conversation perfectly: "For example,
This one, the George Harry Goldfield, was the first man to discover that there was gold in Johannesburg, he tripped over a gold nugget on his farm and became a millionaire."
Gold was discovered in Johannesburg in 1886. In other words, George Harry's gold mine started mining 14 years ago, so it is normal that it has been mined out now.
"Are you selling this gold mine?" Rock really wanted to slap someone in the face.
"You want to buy? There may be no gold here anymore." Nelson Holt was a little surprised and reminded Rock not to act out of emotion.
"After all, this is Johannesburg's first gold mine, isn't it?" Rock didn't buy the George Harry Gold Mine for the gold at all.
"Hahahaha, yes, this is indeed the first one." Nelson Holt could understand Rock, this is indeed memorable.
"Ha, I didn't expect there to be such idiots!" Kevin finally found an entry point.
"If you don't speak, no one will find out that you are a fool." Feili is not polite at all, she has tolerated you for a long time!
Kevin's blood surged and his face turned red.
Come on, collect the seven colors to summon the dragon
"I bought it, how much did it cost?" Rock added fuel to the fire.
Nelson Holt smiled and shook his head, looking through the information with a chuckle, and quoted a price that was almost free compared to a gold mine: "50 pounds!"
Of course, it is compared to the kind of gold mine that can also mine gold.
For an abandoned gold mine
Remember Luo Yi’s farm?
Now that Luo Yi thinks about it, he will still scold the Cape Town Municipal Government!
In other words, although Luo Yi's farm is far from Cape Town, it is not far from Johannesburg, which is more than 200 kilometers away.
Forget it, even if it's two kilometers, Rock won't go, it's a waste of time.
That's not right. If it's two kilometers, it's really worth taking a look. After all, the area of the Rand Gold Mine is here. It is two kilometers away from Johannesburg. It must be within the scope of the Rand Gold Mine. Maybe there is gold underground.
