Seven workers, even if each of them only earns 3,000 U.S. dollars per month, their income is more than 20,000 U.S. dollars in one month, and 60,000 U.S. dollars in three months.
As for the rough tourmaline stone, the company's price to the miners will definitely not exceed US$90,000, so the income of Colin's family should be very considerable.
After walking around, Han Kongque learned more about the situation. Only then did he realize that he was definitely doing the wrong thing by sending a large number of guards.
At first, someone in the company suggested that instead of hiring a large number of guards to go into the mountains, it would be better to purchase some helicopters for patrolling. This would save a lot of money, but Han Peacock rejected it.
Now Han Kongque is even more glad that he refused. When he went into the mountains, he encountered a pack of bears and wolves, and he didn't take them too seriously. But it was different for these ordinary people entering the mountains.
Why can Colin's family make a lot of money but others can't?
Why can a small gang like Hank make money, but some scattered wage workers cannot?
Just because there are so many of them, whether it's Hank's group or Colin's family, they have a lot of strong laborers, and they can withstand all kinds of risks in the mountains.
This is in the mountains. Not to mention the threats from human factors, even the wild beasts in the mountains keep many people away.
If there weren't so many guards in the mountains, even in this valley, there wouldn't be so many people gathered. It's safer when there are more people, and there are more people in safe places. This seems to be a rule.
After walking around, Han Peacock discovered many problems, but the biggest problem was supplies, especially daily necessities, mosquito protection, rain protection, and wild beast protection.
Since we work in the mountains every day, we must protect ourselves from mosquitoes, otherwise it will easily cause diseases, and protection from rain is a top priority. We are here in the mountains, and we have to work every day, so rain gear is indispensable.
And it costs a lot.
Defending against wild beasts is more troublesome. Other daily necessities can still be brought into the mountains as long as they cost a high price, but guns and crossbows cannot be taken so casually.
"Let's solve the transportation problem first! It seems that we still need some helicopters, but this time we will just buy a transport plane."
Han Peacock looked at the workers who exchanged gems for supplies, and part of their profits were exploited by the gem merchants.
If it was a normal exchange, Han Kongque would not say anything. It provided a way for both parties to make a fortune. However, some gem merchants are not honest. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will cheat and deceive. There are already many
The miners were deceived.
Of course, not all miners are good people. There are also masters of counterfeiting among them. Some gem merchants who are new to the industry have also been fooled and purchased some glass products.
This kind of chaos must not be left alone, otherwise, the disaster will definitely be worse in the future. It seems that it is necessary for the company to purchase a batch of transport aircraft to transport some materials before the highway is opened.
Just when Han Kongque was thinking about how to solve these problems, his cell phone rang.
When he put down the phone, his face was filled with joy. He never expected that Chen Qing and the others would come to the United States and would soon land in San Francisco.
These brothers wanted to come to the United States to see him, and Han Kongque had no intention of continuing to wander in the mountains. He directly informed his bodyguards and quickly left the mountains.
Since Chen Qing and the others were going to get off the plane in San Francisco, Han Kongque would naturally have to pick them up there, otherwise he would be too incompetent as a brother.
Han Kongque also took this opportunity to visit the place where Chinese people are most concentrated in the United States. After all, San Francisco has long been well known to him.
Han Kongque arrived in San Francisco at around ten o'clock in the morning. However, it was only at this time that he received a call from Chen Qing. Their plane would arrive at ten o'clock in the evening.
There was no other way, Han Peacock could only find a hotel to settle down first.
Han Kongque just expressed his opinion, and Huangshan naturally arranged the hotel.
"This is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco. It's a relatively good hotel." Huang Shan said with a smile as he got out of the car.
Han Peacock looked at Huangshan with some confusion: "Why do you laugh so weirdly?"
Huangshan said a little embarrassedly: "It's your first time to stay in such a good hotel, are you a little excited?"
Han Kongque took a look at this hotel. It was very big and luxurious. This was his first impression.
"Isn't this better?" Han Peacock asked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling immediately said: "This is the highest-grade hotel in San Francisco and the only five-star and five-diamond hotel in the city. It has a five-star/five-diamond restaurant, which is relatively luxurious."
"This is still more luxurious? Are there other luxury hotels?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Huang Shandao: "There is another one, but it's not as good as this one."
Han Peacock looked at the hotel in front of him. At this time, he had already remembered that this hotel was a landmark building in San Francisco in 1909. It was considered an old building. However, in 2006, huge sums of money were spent on renovating the hotel, so there was
This is an unparalleled luxury environment.
Jin Yao said at this time: "If you ask me, it is better to go to the Hilton Hotel in the Financial District. There is no way it is worse than here."
"What's good? Just be close to Chinatown. I think it's chaotic, right? Don't be overconfident." Huang Shan said.
Han Kongque shook his head. He knew the Hilton Hotel, but there were indeed many people there, but it was not necessarily chaotic. It seemed that Huangshan was afraid of trouble.
Hilton San Francisco Financial District is located in the historic center, at the junction of the Financial District, Chinatown, North Beach and Noble Hill.
In the bustling, culturally diverse surrounding communities, you can reach several of San Francisco's most popular attractions, such as Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Lombard Street and the Golden Gate Bridge, without the need for transportation.
If you want to go shopping, you can take San Francisco's historic cable car to several malls that are popular among shopaholics, such as Union Square, Embarcadero Center, Westfield Mall, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square and
Ferry Building.
With such a good location, the mobility of people is very high, so Huangshan's concerns are not unreasonable.
"Just this hotel! After settling down, let's go out for a walk and find a place with few people and avoid going to tourist attractions." Han Peacock gave the order directly.
Han Kongque took the lead and walked into the hotel, while the golden demon behind him said with a smile: "I told you before, you are just doing useless work, you see? Even if we live here, we still need to go out, who comes to San Francisco?
, Not going out for a walk? As long as you go out, does it matter where you live? "
After resting for a while, Han Kongque led the people out of the hotel. He had already prepared and went directly to a street near Chinatown, which is San Francisco's Antique Street.
Looking at those "antiques", Han Kongque felt a little excited. After all, he had not been out hunting for treasures for a long time.
I have always heard that antique stores are Americans’ favorite place to go, and antique stores are distributed in towns large and small, becoming each town’s iconic shopping mall.
San Francisco was no exception. As soon as he got off the bus, Han Peacock saw four or five antique stores.
The nearest store was very big, at least 300 square meters, with many stalls inside. After looking at it for a while, Han Kongque knew that these stalls were rented. As long as you spend 35 US dollars, you can rent a square meter here.
Space, collectible antiques for sale.
This antique shop is doing a booming business, every square meter has been rented out, and the antiques are so crowded that it’s difficult to walk.
There is always an endless stream of customers here, it is very popular, and everyone is in high spirits, with curious and surprised expressions.
However, American antiques and Chinese antiques are not on the same level at all, and these things are not even considered "antiques" at all.
But for Americans, it is a witness to the progress of life. Every "young antique" can see the intelligence of Americans, and this intelligence has brought progress to our lives and led human civilization.
process.
The tools used to make ice cream are like wooden barrels. Most people will never know that they are antiques. The black veil hat was the most fashionable style for American women in the 1920s, so it is certainly an antique.
The old typewriter is even more of an antique, and what looks like a large wardrobe is an early phone booth.
When Han Kongque and the others appeared next to a stall, to everyone's surprise, it was Mu Ling who was the most popular.
Mu Ling recently studied jewelry design, so she naturally learned some painting skills. When she came out this time, she carried an easel and painted not far from Han Peacock. While concealing her identity, she could paint graffiti and pass the time.
Unexpectedly, the owner of this store saw Mu Ling's graffiti and thought he was a great artist. He wanted to sell her paintings in several stores, one of which is here.
Han Peacock asked strangely: "Why did you hang it in an antique store?"
The boss said enthusiastically: "The antique shop is very popular and sells paintings quickly."
It makes sense, but wait, this painting is not an antique.
The boss was full of confidence: "You are from the oldest country, and the paintings you draw are ancient beauties. Of course they are antiques! Americans love antiques the most!"
Han Peacock was a little speechless. Mu Ling just painted a picture of an ancient lady, right?
I just painted this, the ink is not dry yet! Is this an antique?
Seeing Mu Ling being entangled by his boss, Han Kongque turned and walked aside. He was not interested in such a thing.
Looking at the stalls here, most of these so-called antique furniture, tableware, toys, and tools are from the 1950s and 1960s.
Han Kongque had seen many things when he was a child, such as the big and bulky radio, which was once the most luxurious household appliance in the village, and the foot-operated sewing machine, which was a dowry necessity at that time.
Back then, when someone's daughter got married, it would have been very honorable and honorable to give her a sewing machine as a gift.
In addition to these, there are also large and small electrical appliances, washing machines, dust collectors, electric fans, and various power tools. (~^~)
