In fact, most of the tourmaline veins discovered by Han Kongque before were because the tourmaline was exposed due to rock fractures or washed out by mudslides. Han Kongque was able to identify a vein.●⌒,
You only need to pick up this kind of vein to get tourmaline. Now after rounds of searching, it is almost impossible to pick up tourmaline in the open air. However, such tourmaline veins are not buried deep and are easy to mine.
Naturally, Korean peacocks will not be left to private mining.
Tourmaline has now formed an industry chain here. In this industry chain, there are miners, small bosses, and big bosses. Now some big and small bosses will follow the miners into the mining area, hoping to get the tourmaline discovered as soon as possible.
This is something Han Peacock has no choice about. Previously, large quantities of tourmalines and emeralds were stored by Han Peacock instead of putting them all on the market.
And because in the past few months, Han Kongque sent people to mine all the gems that were easy to mine in the entire mining area, and sealed the ones that could not be mined. In this way, it increased the difficulty of mining in disguise and reduced the number of gems mined.
.
The smaller number of gems is actually normal. In this way, it attracts the big and small bosses who deal in gems even more.
Some big bosses will directly trade with companies outside Korea. Such gemstones have undergone preliminary processing, so the price is naturally higher. Some small bosses who don't have much capital want to go deep into the mining area and buy rough gemstones.
You can only rely on your own eyesight to identify whether the rough gemstones that are roughly selected are of good quality, so even if the price is cheap, you are not guaranteed to make a profit.
Every team entering the mountain has escorts and supervisors, and Han Kongque and his team are no exception.
The members among them are more complicated. In addition to people from the company, they also follow some big and small bosses.
As they walked, they talked loudly. First, Hank talked about the tourmaline veins here, and then the boss started bragging about how powerful he was.
"Carter, I heard that you lost a lot in the past two days?" Hank said, seeing that a white man was the most boastful, and feeling that he had been robbed of the limelight.
Hank knew that this Carter was a small business owner who had just entered the business, and he lost a thousand dollars on his first business.
"I heard that there was a green tourmaline, a very big one. I hurried over and bought it for 1,000 yuan. I was secretly happy at the time, thinking that this time it was prosperous. Such a big tourmaline only cost 1,000 yuan.
But when I took the tourmaline back and showed it to my colleagues, I realized that I had been fooled." Carter said helplessly.
"Did you buy a fake?" Hank said with a smile.
Carter said: "That's why I came here this time. I want to watch the tourmaline ore being dug out of the ground, so that I can't buy fakes."
"Bought it outside the mining area? Does a company as big as Peacock Group also sell fakes?" someone asked in surprise.
Even Han Kongque was attracted by them. Is there anyone in his company who really dares to do this?
"What! He just took a small advantage and suffered a big loss. Carter bought the rough stone from a vendor at a roadside stall." Hank gave the answer.
After Hank explained it clearly, everyone suddenly realized that the matter was actually relatively simple, but if you are greedy for cheap and have no professional vision, it is inevitable to be fooled.
This is a gem mining area, and it has just been mined. Some people are not alert and do not think that there are fakes, so they are easily fooled.
There are many such scams, and you can find them all if you pay attention, especially those businessmen who deal in gemstones, and they should not be fooled. If you are fooled, it is because you are greedy and did not carefully identify them.
After discovering the benefits, I am deeply afraid of being intercepted, so I often do the transaction in a hurry without checking it carefully. After the transaction is completed, I take a closer look and I am dumbfounded by the result.
The scam is very simple. Driven by profit, some people make hexagonal molds out of bamboo slices, and then pour the fired glass into the mold to create such a fake tourmaline.
The textures on the bamboo slices are very similar to the textures on the raw minerals. Inexperienced people, or people who are a little careless, can easily be fooled.
Carter said at this time: "There are still many people playing this trick, but I will not be fooled again. I can tell the authenticity of a piece of tourmaline from 5 meters away."
Carter was very confident at this time, but not many people dared to believe his words. They had all been fooled once, and yet they had not become cautious yet. Who dared to believe such a person?
Han Peacock also lamented that even Americans are not being honest now. They say that Chinese people like to cheat. In fact, in foreign countries, as long as there is profit, they will cheat even more.
Now in the commercial street below, in the small shop on the roadside, Han Kongque also saw this kind of tourmaline made of glass, but the boss was very smart. As soon as he found someone who saw the problem, he would just say it was a fake tourmaline.
And often next to the fake tourmaline, there will be another tourmaline of extremely poor quality, only a few carats. At this time, she dares to ask for a high price.
On the one hand, there are cheap goods that look good but are fake, and on the other hand, high-priced genuine goods with poor quality. How to choose depends on the customer's judgment.
It is because the tourmalines at the foot of the mountain are too expensive that these businessmen will collectively go to the mountains to get some cheap rough stones.
This is also part of Han Kongque's plan to build a gem industry chain, which is to support some small and medium-sized businessmen to go to the mountains for procurement. This is one of the great preferential policies.
Nowadays, miners are mining tourmaline every day in the mountains. They mainly look for tourmaline associated mines first, and then invite the company's engineers and prospecting experts to identify them. If the gem mines are deeply buried or of poor quality, they use explosives to explode them.
open.
However, this mining method can easily destroy the original tourmaline, and many of them are just fragments, so prospecting experts are needed to identify the veins. If the veins have good reserves and good quality, they can only be dug manually.
Finding gemstone veins actually relies on luck, so now some miners don't work every day and wander around the mountains. As long as they find some clues, they will sell the news to make money.
Hank was one of the first workers to come to mine, and also one of the first miners to independently search for ore and mine. After this period of operation, Hank had a lot of informants in his hands, and he followed these informants.
Only by cooperating can they dig out a lot of tourmalines every day and maintain the high income of their team.
In the mountains, it is difficult for independent prospectors to find large mineral veins. After all, the prospecting team Han Kongque is looking for is not a vegetarian, so a small team like Hank can only rely on a large number of informants to provide them with options.
Opportunity.
Hank is able to make the most correct choice every time based on the informant's findings, so their income is the highest in the entire mining area.
What Hank wants to do most now is to establish a complete network and spread informants throughout the mining area, so that once a discovery is made, he will be notified first and he will not have to go to the mountains to find tourmaline veins.
But such a thing is not easy to do. After all, no one is a fool. Some prospectors who find good mineral veins naturally want to sell them at the highest price, so they will not contact Hank.
"Actually, we should just follow the people from the company. They must know where the mineral veins are." Carter glanced at Hank, wondering where this guy's confidence came from.
"The company has a dedicated team, and they are all very capable people. Only they know where the mine is, but will they tell us?" Hank asked.
"They don't need to tell us where the mineral veins are. As long as we are close to the mineral veins they drew, that's fine. There are always some chicken nest mines around, right?" Carter said again.
Hank laughed loudly and said: "You can think of it, but others can't? Look over there. There is the largest emerald mine in the valley. I heard that there are many tourmalines in it. You don't need to dig, you just need to bend down and pick it up.
But can we get close there?"
"There are a lot of people over there." Carter pointed out a fact.
As they approached, many people gathered around a canyon, and on the outer mountainside flat land, small villas were located, which seemed to be even more lively than those at the bottom of the mountain.
"This is your first time here. You don't know about this gem canyon. Most of the people around here are from the company, and most of the others are family members of the company's employees. Are you clear now?" Hank said with deep meaning.
"Huh? You're saying that the surrounding small mineral veins are all occupied by the family members of the company's employees?" Carter said.
Hank glanced at Carter. There was something wrong with this guy's brain. Didn't he see that the eyes of the people next to him were wrong?
"That is the company's benefit. The first batch of them to come here will also be the first to get the news. Therefore, some ready-made gemstone veins will naturally be occupied by them. This is a normal and explicit regulation of the company, and it does not count as seeking power for personal gain."
, it can only be said to be a benefit provided by the company to its employees." Hank explained.
Hank saw that Carter was still about to speak, and was afraid that he would say something offending again, so he hurriedly said: "Look over there, they are all rough gemstones. They need to trade supplies. Now you can take the supplies you brought into the mountain and go over there with us."
They exchanged gems."
"Are those people from the Peacock Group?" Carter is a real talker. Whenever he has a chance, he speaks immediately.
Hank said helplessly: "People with companies need daily necessities and mining tools. These need to be brought by caravans like you who go into the mountains. Transactions in the mountains do not require dollars and all rely on material exchange. Otherwise, you
How is it possible to get cheap rough gemstones?”
The road into the mountain has not yet been completely built. While these caravans are benefiting from it, they are also providing convenience to the Peacock Group, mainly by transporting supplies for free.
"So, are some of them not from Peacock Company? Where did the gems in their hands come from?" Carter's tone was slightly excited. (To be continued.)
