Chapter 1002 Return
…
Compared with when we came here, this return was more difficult. Because we carried too many jade stones, the donkey could no longer be used for transportation, so we had to be led by Liu Dong and others.
Coupled with the rugged and uneven mountain roads and the lack of oxygen on the plateau, it took eight people nearly ten days to walk on a mountain road of about two to three hundred miles!
Until they came back to the valley where they met the shepherd last time, almost everyone, including Liu Dong, felt as if it was yesterday. It was as if they had suddenly returned from the wilderness to a civilized society!
"Haha, I finally came out. The first thing I did when I got home this time was to take a good bath, and then take a nap to wake up naturally!" Qiu Yuan sighed with relief and laughed.
"Sleep? I'm afraid the first thing you, an old boy, will do after you go back is to go find your sweetheart and have a good time, right?" Lao Shi mocked mercilessly.
However, Qiu Yuan did not show any anger on his face because of these words, because when a lot of men are bragging and spanking together, the topic is always related to women, and when several women are together, the chat is always related to men.
It's the same principle.
"I don't believe you, Lao Shi, have been holding it in for more than a month and are still so honest. We are the eldest brother and not the second brother!"
"Okay, you two are old and disrespectful guys, Xiaodong is still young, don't lead others into trouble!" Yang Shang scolded with a smile.
"Haha, man, who hasn't put some thought into it? Xiaodong, I see you are in your early twenties, you are considered an adult. Do you have a girlfriend? If not, I will introduce you to your uncle Qiu. She is sure to be beautiful.
He is highly educated and virtuous!" Qiu Yuan winked at Liu Dong who was following behind.
"Xiaodong, don't listen to this old boy. He knows any good girls. If you are willing, I will introduce you to our Uighur girls immediately. They are absolutely gentle and beautiful. I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Adili also relaxed.
Joined in the fun.
Faced with this question, Liu Dong just laughed and didn't answer. Now he has provoked a lot of women, and it's time to calm down. And compared to a passive introduction, Liu Dong longs for the sudden love at first sight!
“嘡嘡……!”
Just as the eight people were chatting and laughing without any scruples, a series of tractors came rumbling over on the mountain road behind, emitting black smoke.
Seeing Adili and the others driving the donkey to the edge, Liu Dong naturally followed suit. Not long after, tractors loaded with raw jade stones passed by quickly. Liu Dong simply counted, no less than 30 tractors.
And the jade loaded by these thirty tractors must be no less than thirty tons!
"Bah, bah...!"
They spat hard several times, but seeing the smoke and dust floating around them, the eight people still subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their clothes to prevent dust from entering their nostrils.
He hurriedly drove the donkey ahead for a while. After the air became a little fresher, Qiu Yuan took a few deep breaths and then looked at the tractor going away and angrily shouted: "These scum under the Jade Prince have occupied the best place in Hotan by themselves."
The jade mines are forcing us jade miners at the bottom into the mountains! They simply don’t give us a way to survive!”
"Okay, Lao Qiu, please stop saying a few words! We are too few and weak to change the overall situation. We can only learn to adapt!" Although he said this, Liu Dong was sensitive to the unwillingness in Yang Shang's tone, and
Surrender to the helplessness of fate.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. I believe that the 'Jade Prince' and the others will not be free for long!" Lao Shi said with a hint of anger in his tone!
The three of them finished speaking. The happy and carefree atmosphere in the team instantly became silent. From their expressions, Liu Dong also discovered that the jade workers at the bottom of Hotan were greatly squeezed by the Jade Prince.
However, what Liu Dong didn't understand was why people's resentment was so high, and even when it had a certain impact on the healthy development of the Hotan jade industry, people like the Jade Prince could still exist peacefully. Could it be explained by just a national issue?
?
Liu Dong couldn't think clearly. He couldn't understand either!
More than an hour later, after Qiu Yuan, Adili and others deliberately made jokes, the atmosphere in the team became cheerful again.
Most of a day later, the group returned to Adili's home again, which was also the starting point where they went into the mountains to collect jade.
After wandering around in the mountains for nearly a month, everyone wants to eat a hot meal, sleep well, and relax, but there are more important things to do than relaxing.
So after a simple dinner, Liu Dong and eight people got together again.
After looking around at everyone, Adi said forcefully: "Thanks to the blessing of the mountain god, we returned safely from this trip into the mountain and got a lot of harvest. I roughly calculated that the value should be around 15 million! According to our jade mining rules,
The 15 million is divided equally among eight people, which means one person is 1.875 million!"
After Adili finished speaking, Lao Shi, Lao Ma, and others, including Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan, all showed strong joy on their faces. Although they risked their lives and worked in the mountains for nearly a month, they ate
Despite the hardship of living in the open, but after receiving a huge amount of nearly two million yuan, almost everyone felt that their trip was not in vain, and their hardship was not in vain!
Liu Dong is naturally the same, but there are some differences between him and Yang Shang. He has the Mustard Seed Space and directly installed a jade vein contained in the Black Mountain area into the Mustard Seed Space!
Although this jade mine is a mountain source and there are not many top-grade jade, tens of thousands of tons of jade are enough to keep Rose Jewelry from worrying about the shortage of raw materials for a long time!
Liu Dong’s trip was not in vain after all!
"...But everyone's situation is also somewhat different. For example, Lao Yang and Lao Qiu both have jade shops at home, so they may need jade instead of money, while Lao Shi and I would prefer money instead of jade. We all have our own differences.
We have different needs, so I called everyone here this time to ask each other what their plans are?" Adili continued.
"I'm still the same, choosing jade!" Yang Shang said.
"I choose jade too!"
"I want money!"
Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan have been working together for many years, and they all know what they want, so they answer quickly, so in the end they left it to the newcomer Liu Dong!
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Liu Dong thought for a moment and then said: "I want money too!"
Seeing the surprise in Yang Shang's eyes, Liu Dong didn't explain much.
There are already enough Hotan jades in his mustard space. With less than two million jade stones, if there are no high-quality ones, it doesn't matter if there are more jade stones or less jade stones.
And if he chooses to get jade, it will be difficult to separate it. After all, he has to pick it piece by piece.
In contrast, asking for money is different. Adili and the others are in Hotan all year round and have their own sales methods. It is not difficult to sell jade and they can easily get money!
"Well, if you want money, please leave your bank card number. After I sell the jade, the money will be transferred to your card. As for the tax, you have to pay it yourself!"
No one had any objection to Adili's words, and everyone happily left their bank card numbers! However, except for Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan who wanted to stay to count their share of jade, most of the remaining people returned
The accommodation conditions in Adili in the city are not very good, and the key point is that they cannot accommodate seven or eight grown men.
Liu Dong also chose to drive back to the hotel where he was staying. After applying for a new room card, he took a quick shower before lying down comfortably on his bed!
After calling his parents, Wang Qiang, and Jiang Tingting one by one to report that they were safe, Liu Dong dialed He Chaoqiong's mobile phone, because apart from a few of his confidante, she was the only one who called him.
The most!
"Liu Dong?"
"What? We haven't seen each other for more than a month, and Sister Qiong has even forgotten my voice?" Liu Dong laughed when he heard the question in the other party's tone.
"Forgot? How could you forget? But where are you, kid? Why can't you always get through on the phone? Even Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong and the people under you don't know where you have been?"
Listening to the hint of complaint in He Chaoqiong's tone, Liu Dong didn't say much. When a woman is angry, the best way is to let her vent it out first, otherwise it won't make sense to reason with her at this time!
After feeling that the other party had finished speaking what was suppressed in his heart, Liu Dongcai said: "I am in Hotan now. I went into the mountains some time ago. It is normal that my mobile phone cannot be connected! But what is it worth doing to me, Sister Qiong, a busy person like you?"
Twelve phone calls in a row?”
"Of course it's about the casino. You just said that and became the shopkeeper with peace of mind. Do you know how tiring it is for me to prepare a project with an investment of 2 billion US dollars by myself? I won't say it back.
Help me, not to mention you are the majority shareholder of the casino!"
Liu Dong can smile when faced with complaints, but he doesn't believe that this is the real reason why He Chaoqiong called!
"Haha, Sister Qiong, I know you work hard and have great achievements. Next time I go to Hong Kong, I will definitely treat you to a big dinner. How about you choose the location?"
"This is somewhat sincere! Okay, now that we have finished complaining, it's time to get down to business." Hearing this, Liu Dong cheered up, "...Since you left more than a month ago,
A lot of things have happened here in Macau, and they still haven’t been finalized!”
Hearing this, Liu Dong said thoughtfully: "Is it about gambling?"
"That's right, it's about gambling licenses! Because the Fu family and the Cui family have never been able to reach an agreement on the casino equity, they almost broke up, which severely frustrated the Macau government's policy of reforming the gambling industry. In addition, all three gambling licenses
Falling into the hands of the Chinese side violates the Macau government's industrial plan of "two Chinese and one foreign", which is to introduce advanced foreign gambling business concepts, strengthen competition, and promote the comprehensive development of the gambling industry as the center, tourism, international conferences and other service industries. Therefore, before
One week later, the Macau government decided to re-divide gambling licenses!” (To be continued.)
