Regarding Xue Chen's question, Jing Yunxing just thought about it for a while and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "I wonder how much you know about Jade Veins?"
"My understanding is limited." Xue Chen said truthfully. He knew all kinds of jade, but he didn't know much about discovering the jade veins of jade. This is like a chef who can make delicious dishes, but it is impossible to be proficient in growing vegetables and raising poultry.
.
"Hetian jade is divided into seed material and mountain material. It is well known that the value of seed material exceeds that of mountain material. Nowadays, in order to prevent soil erosion and excessive damage to nature, the mining of seed material has been restricted by the state.
It is strictly controlled, while the mining of mountain materials is not subject to too many restrictions. For example, the largest mountain material producing area, Kunlun Mountain, has enough development time for hundreds of years. It can be said that Kunlun Mountain is the largest Hetian jade vein."
Jing Yunxing looked at Xue Chen.
"Hongyun Mining has also been involved in mining Hetian jade in Xinjiang, but due to long-term crazy mining, the rich veins have been almost exhausted, and most of them are barren jade veins. It is very difficult to mine high-quality Hetian jade, and even
The profits are lower than those of iron ore and gold mines. If a rich ore that has never been mined can be found, it will naturally bring a lot of wealth. However, if it is a poor ore, its value is equal to zero and it is not suitable for large-scale mining."
Xue Chen nodded in agreement and thought to himself, will the jade vein in Laoweng Mountain be a rich mine or a poor mine? He is more inclined to the former. If it is a poor mine, as the richest man in the country at the time, would Shen Wansan take a fancy to it?
"Xue Chen, if you really discover a rich mine that has not been mined before, our Jing family company can cooperate with you and give you a satisfactory profit."
Gao Dewei glanced at Xue Chen, curious as to why Xue Chen suddenly mentioned the Hetian jade vein.
After receiving Jing Yunxing's reply, Xue Chen became even more excited. He felt that it was necessary to go to Xinjiang in person. A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely, especially when he wants to put many treasures and antiques in the world into his safe.
, that all requires money.
Mining is a once and for all way. As long as the jade mine discovered by Shen Wansan is really found in Laoweng Mountain, then you can cooperate with the Jing family's company and make continuous profits.
At this time, Jing Yunxing's cell phone rang.
After answering the phone, Jing Yunxing looked at Xue Chen and said thoughtfully: "It was Rong Tianfeng who called just now. He said he wanted your contact information and wanted to talk to you."
Xue Chen waved his hand: "I have nothing to talk about with him."
Jing Yunxing didn't say much, and immediately called Rong Tianfeng back, saying that Xue Chen didn't want to talk.
Rong Tianfeng, who was on the other side of the phone, suddenly felt angry. He, Rong Tianfeng, personally called to invite someone, but someone actually refused? This had never happened before, and it made him feel completely insulted.
"Do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you have some skills?" Rong Tianfeng hung up the phone harshly. Although he knew that Xue Chen had some miraculous skills in treating diseases and saving people, he was not ready to ask Xue Chen to take action anymore. He lost his mind.
I can't afford that person! At most, my grandfather's comrade-in-arms died on the operating table. Although his plan would fail, it was still within the tolerance range.
The next day, Grandpa Rong Tianfeng's old comrade's surgery was scheduled for surgery, and Xue Chen did not return to Haicheng. Instead, he took the wooden box on a plane to Xinjiang and decided to go to Laoweng Mountain to explore, even if it was not for the sake of
It is also a good experience to visit the places visited by Shen Wansan, the previous owner of ancient jade.
Xue Chen got off the plane in Urumqi, the provincial capital of Xinjiang, and Jing Yunxing had contacted the person in charge of Hongyun Mining Branch in Urumqi before his departure, so someone was there to pick him up.
"Hello, Mr. Xue, I am Zhang Dachun, the person in charge of Hongyun Ore Mining Company in Xinjiang. I received a call from Vice President Jing yesterday. Vice President Jing has already explained that we will try our best to satisfy Mr. Xue if he needs any help."
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I don't need anything else. Lend me a car. I'm going to Minhe County." Xue Chen said.
"Minhe County? I wonder where Mr. Xue went and what he was doing." Zhang Dachun said unexpectedly.
"Look for the Jade Vein." Xue Chen said concisely and concisely.
"Jade Vein, Hotan Jade Vein?" Zhang Dachun felt surprised and looked at Xue Chen with strange eyes. He came all the way from the capital to find the Jade Vein. It sounded a bit funny.
Zhang Dachun is naturally no stranger to Hotan jade, because one of the purposes of the establishment of the branch here was to mine Hotan jade. However, there are already very few rich jade veins, which are occupied by some large companies, and those barren jade veins are useless.
, the profit is too low, Hongyun Mining doesn’t like it at all.
Looking at Xue Chen, Zhang Dachun thought that this person is crazy about wanting to get rich. Although Hetian jade is produced around Minhe County, are those good jade veins so easy to find? Otherwise, Hongyun Mining would have started digging long ago. He thought so
I was thinking about it, but I quickly found Xue Chen a Toyota Prado with excellent off-road capabilities.
Xue Chen didn't waste any time and drove to Minhe County, which is the closest to Laoweng Mountain that day, and is 300 kilometers away from Urumqi.
When it was getting dark, he drove into Minhe County and stayed in a small hotel. After settling in, he ate at a restaurant on the same street and bought some food at another small grocery store.
A local map.
On the way back to the hotel, he saw a truck pulling a load of ore roaring past, kicking up a large amount of ash. If he read correctly, it should be the Hotan Yushan Mine.
While eating, he chatted with the waiter in the store and learned that there were many mountains around Minhe County. There were three mountains with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and there were ten stone mountains with an altitude of several hundred meters.
Although the jade production is not as good as that of Kunlun and Hotan areas, there are still a few jade mines that are not barren and are controlled by several mining companies.
After resting for the night, Xue Chen drove straight to Laoweng Mountain.
Laoweng Mountain is not a very high mountain around Minhe County, but it is famous because it looks like an old fishing man wearing a bamboo hat.
From a distance, he saw the unique-looking Laoweng Mountain.
The car stopped one kilometer away at the foot of the mountain. Standing next to the car, Xue Chen held the wooden box in his hand and observed it while moving his position. At a certain moment, his eyes flashed.
"By the way, this is the location!"
After five or six hundred years, the main landform of Laoweng Mountain does not seem to have changed much.
Xue Chen looked down at the first picture in the wooden box in his hand, and then looked up at Laoweng Mountain. The two completely overlapped, and the position he was standing was exactly where Shen Wansan stood and pointed in the direction of the jade vein.
Six hundred years ago, Shen Wansan stood here and instructed his men to dig out the Hetian jade here. Six hundred years later, Xue Chen also found this place with the help of this wooden box. For a moment, he was in a trance and really wanted to travel through time.
Shikong had a conversation with Shen Wansan.
But, are the jade veins from back then still there? After Shen Wansan’s excavation, are the jade veins already empty?
Turn off the car and climb the mountain.
As Xue Chen walked towards the foot of Laoweng Mountain, he turned over and over to observe the four pictures on the wooden box. Based on the information from the pictures, he roughly locked an area with a radius of one kilometer in the north of Laoweng Mountain. Otherwise, it would be * *A random search on the 100-meter-high Laoweng Mountain is not an easy task.
He first walked around the locked area with his hands behind his back, constantly comparing it with the patterns on the wooden boxes, and then used perspective to observe underground, trying to find traces of mining hundreds of years ago.
No, no, not yet!
For an hour, two hours, Xue Chen searched tirelessly within this kilometer, constantly eliminating areas one by one.
After five full hours, his eyes were numb with clairvoyance, and he almost wanted to give up. Suddenly, his clairvoyance to the ground was completely gone.
"This is...a cave? No, it's a mine!"
Xue Chen, who was already feeling a little tired, suddenly became energetic. His eyes reflected the light of surprise as he stared closely at the mine in his sight!
"This must be it!"
He scanned around carefully again. The mine was more than three meters deep underground and was still winding underground. However, part of it had collapsed, and the original entrance to the mine had already been buried. , only a few inconspicuous pieces of half-man-high gravel remain.
At this moment, Xue Chen was very happy, not only because of the discovery of a Hetian jade vein that might be worth hundreds of millions, but also because of the process!
He accidentally came across an ordinary wooden box, followed the patterns on it step by step, and finally found the destination. This feeling made him very happy and proud.
Standing at the entrance of the buried cave, Xue Chen continued to scan the underground mine with perspective. What made him relieved was that judging from the situation in the mine, no one had mined this jade vein since Shen Wansan. , it should have never been discovered.
Now we can only hope that this jade vein has not been completely seized by Shen Wansan!
"Let's take a look now."
Xue Chen's sight, with the dual ability of perspective and eagle eye, explored along the mine. After going more than ten meters deep, suddenly, the extension of the mine suddenly stopped and mining stopped. It had been dug so deep at that time.
His sight continued to extend inside, one meter...two meters...at three meters, a large piece of milky white came into his sight. It was Hetian jade! To the left, there was another piece of snow-white...
He searched carefully around this jade vein, and saw pieces of Hetian jade mountain materials hidden deep in the rocks. He deeply realized that this was a rich mine, and the jade mines were very concentrated, and the jade mines were very concentrated. The storage capacity of the mine is more than several hundred tons!
"marvelous!"
Xue Chen couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and snapped his fingers. This journey was much smoother than expected. This was also thanks to the blessing of the dual abilities of clairvoyance and eagle eye. Otherwise, even if he knew that there was a mineral vein in Laoweng Mountain, he wanted to It's not easy to find out either.
After staying on the mountain for a while, he walked down the mountain. When he came to the parking place, he unexpectedly saw a pickup truck and an off-road vehicle parked next to his car. There were also a few men standing nearby, who seemed to be in the parking lot. Wait for him? (To be continued)
