Happy Tycoon

"These are our warehouses?" Yang Jing pointed to the seven or eight ten-meter-square sturdy warehouses at the corner of the warehouse area, frowning and asked.

"Yes, boss, since we opened up this opening in July last year, all the rough jade stones that were dug up are piled up here after being selected. We don’t have a place for luck now! Mr. Aller originally came here last year. Yes, in the end, he didn't know what happened to him. He never came. The transportation route that Mr. Ale had said to be opened to China was naturally lost."

Yang Jing nodded helplessly and said, "Well, I know about this. I am here this time to open up the transportation route for Mr. Ale."

Wu Qin looked happy when he heard this. "Boss, if you don’t come again, we don’t know where to put the rough stones we dug up. At the entrance here, there are generally two to three warehouses at each entrance as temporary storage points. Other rough stones They will be shipped out in a short time. Our jade rough stones cannot be shipped out, so they can only be piled up here. There is not much open space in the Damukan mining area. We have to build four or five more warehouses, not only the money Not spending less, but also caused some dissatisfaction with other mine owners..."

While the two people were talking, a local Burmese with a gun trot over and saluted Wu Qinmaung. Then he said something, while Wu Qinmaung replied.

They communicated in the local dialect, which Yang Jing naturally didn't understand, but obviously Wu Qinmaung introduced Yang Jing's identity to this person, so this guy made a neat bow at Yang Jing.

Wu Qinmaung explained: "Boss, this is Tunqin, the guard captain of our warehouse. He is a cousin of my aunt's family. He is absolutely reliable. Now he leads 120 armed members in four classes and twenty Protecting our warehouse for four hours."

Yang Jing nodded at the security captain with satisfaction, making him a little flattered.

The warehouse area can be said to be the most important area at the entrance of a site. In the Damukan mining area, the warehouses are usually arranged in several adjacent entrances, and then security guards are sent from several entrances to guard the warehouse area.

It's like this warehouse area was built by the mine owners at five nearby entrances. The warehouse area is surrounded by stone walls more than one meter thick and more than four meters high, and there are tall turrets on the four corners. , The turrets are equipped with searchlights and machine guns that use 7.62mm machine gun rounds. At least five security personnel from different gates are on duty at the same time on each turret.

There are also a large number of security guards with guns patrolling inside and outside the walls of the warehouse area. These large numbers of security guards almost prevent the entire warehouse area from having any dead ends. Even if 007 is here, I am afraid that it will be impossible to know the ghost. Unconsciously touched into the warehouse area.

The gates of the warehouse area can only be accessed by fixed security personnel and the bosses or supervisors at the entrance, and no one else can get in at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if the king of Kokang Peng Jiasheng came here, he would not be able to enter the gate of the warehouse.

Although these emerald markets are now under the management of Peng Jiasheng, the owners of these markets are not afraid of Peng Jiasheng. Everyone who dared to open a mine here has a profound background behind them, and the number of security guards at these entrances is hundreds of people, and the equipment is even better than that of Pan Jiasheng's army.

Therefore, even Peng Jiasheng will not take the initiative to go to these warehouse areas.

Under the leadership of Tun Qin, Yang Jing and Wu Qinmaung walked into the warehouse area and walked along a fixed route to the area where their warehouse belongs.

The four walls of these warehouses are built with a block of stones, and the roof is made of thick logs, covered with thatch and yellow mud.

In this era, cement in northern Myanmar is even rarer than munitions, and there are no more precast reinforced concrete slabs. These warehouses are all built on site.

The gate of the warehouse is also nailed up with logs, iron gate? In this age you don't even think about it. In the 1980s, no matter which mining area, all warehouse doors were made from local materials and nailed up with thick logs.

Tunqin opened the lock, untied the iron chain with the thickness of an arm, and called three guards and four people to work hard together, which opened the door to a gap where people could walk in. .

This kind of gate also has its own anti-theft function. There is no door axle, so a door with a weight of a hundred catties requires at least three or four people to open it. One person may be able to enter the mining area, but the probability of two or three people entering the mine is almost impossible.

This is just like the "ghost sees sorrow" used by the big families to guard against theft in ancient China. Those big families melted hundreds of catties of silver and cast them into "ghosts see sorrow". Jin, even if the thieves touched in, they couldn't move away at all. The ghosts are worried when they see these big silver ingots, let alone those thieves...

The kumen of these warehouses is the same reason as those "ghosts see sorrow".

A warehouse is about more than 100 square meters, and there are wooden shelves made of logs every one meter. There are five shelves in a warehouse, and each shelf is placed with a small jade. Rough.

Yang Jing frowned when he looked at these jade rough stones. The number of these rough jade stones was much less than he had imagined.

"Old Wu, how many rough stones can this warehouse hold?"

Wu Qinmaung immediately took out a black notebook from his pocket, opened it and looked at it and said: "Boss, this warehouse contains the best rough stones that we have carefully selected. There are a total of 4156 yuan in full bloom. The rough stone has a total weight of 7.98 tons."

The jadeite shells in the Damukan mining area are mostly brown-gray and yellow-red. Generally, the water and bottom are good, but they are often white and yellow foggy. Generally speaking, the size is relatively small, usually about one or two kilograms.

These more than 4,000 rough stones weigh less than eight tons, but they are in line with the characteristics of the jadeite rough produced in the Damkan mining area. However, it took nearly four thousand people to dig for a year before digging out such a little rough stone. This is really unreasonable.

"After digging for more than a year, did you dig out such a little rough stone?" Yang Jing's tone was a bit bad.

Wu Qin looked shivered, and quickly explained: "Boss, this warehouse is only one of our eight warehouses, and it is filled with the best-quality rough stones, so the number of rough stones in this warehouse is so small. Others. Each of the seven warehouses contains about 20 tons of rough stones. We have dug up about 150 tons of rough stones in a year, which is quite a lot. Hangba next to us The area of ​​the entrance is a bit larger than ours. They have more than 5,000 miners, and they only dig out 150 tons of rough in a year. Those with a smaller area can dig in a year. Even if they produce 100 tons of rough stones, they burn incense! Among the more than 20 sites in the Damkan mining area, only four or five sites can dig out one hundred tons of rough stones a year. Other sites One year is dozens of tons."

When Wu Qinmaung said this, Yang Jing remembered that it was only in the 1980s. In the emerald mining areas in Myanmar, purely manual digging methods were still used. Now, unlike thirty years later, the "strange hand" excavating equipment has replaced a lot of labor. With the large-scale use of modern equipment, the output of Burma's jade mining area has also greatly increased.

But even with large-scale use of "strange hands" for digging, when the output was the highest in the two years of 2014 and 2015, only 7,000 tons of rough jadeite were unearthed in the Myanmar jadeite mine in the past year.

At present, the Burmese jade mining area is not the eight major mining areas of later generations. The only existing mining areas are Lao Pakant, Xiangdong, Longken, Damkan, Houjiang, and the Huika mining area, which is located about 20 kilometers south of Xiangdong Zhaizi. As for Raida and Nanqi, they are just a rudimentary form now.

Among the current six major mining areas, the Damukan mining area is the one with the largest output. It can produce less than 1,000 tons of rough jadeite a year. The remaining five major mining areas together produce approximately 2,000 tons a year. Rough jadeite.

Of course, this is not to say that the miners here only dig out two thousand tons of rough jadeite in a year. In fact, these miners dig stones day and night, and the amount of stones dug out a year is 100,000 tons, but most of the stones are not rough jadeite.

At each entrance, there are many stone selection masters who are specially used to select jade rough stones. These dug out stones have been passed through these masters several times, and only a very small number of jade rough stones will be picked out by these selection masters and stored in the warehouse. Most of the remaining stones will be piled up in the ore dump.

It's like the stone mountain that Yang Jing and Wu Qinmaung saw on the way to the warehouse just now, which is actually an ore dump, and all the garbage ore that was picked up by the stone benefactors was piled up in it.

Of course, there may be some missing jade ore in these ore dumps. Therefore, there are always many women and children digging through the stones in the ore dumps, hoping to make unexpected discoveries. However, these dumps are also owned ~www.readwn.com~ Everyone who enters the dump must pay. Although the stone you picked up belongs to you, you still have to pay taxes if you take away any stone in the garbage dump.

After thinking of these data, Yang Jing was relieved. My own site is the youngest in the entire Damukan mining area. One-seventh of the jadeite rough in the entire Damukan mining area has been dug up in one year. This result is definitely commendable.

Yang Jing said to Wu Qinmaung, "I blamed you. I did a good job last year. This year I will raise your salary by 20%. Well, it’s not easy for the security guards. Everyone will also raise their salary after the new year. 20%."

As soon as Wu Qinmao heard this, his face suddenly bloomed with joy, and he put his hands together and bowed to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Just so, you two will wait for me outside first. Don't come in without me."

Neither Wu Qinmaung nor Tun Qin dared to disobey the big boss’s orders. The two immediately walked out. After going out, they kindly closed the heavy door again and left Yang Jing alone in the warehouse. ......
