Happy Tycoon

In fact, Yang Jing didn't really like this kind of warm hospitality. But there is no way. When you come to work on other people's land, you have to pick jade from the people's head. If this matter is not supported by the local government, it will definitely not be done.

Hetian jade is also a kind of resource, and it is an extremely precious resource. Although the local government or various jade enthusiasts have not begun to pay attention to Hetian jade in this era, you come to people to dig down this precious resource. Resources, no matter how good relations with the local government, this is the most basic condition.

　　Especially Cole Smith, a foreign philanthropist who was taken advantage of, is now well-known throughout Xinjiang. It hasn't been a week since they came to Xinjiang, and they dropped 30 million US dollars!

Even 30 years later, 30 million U.S. dollars is not a small figure, let alone in this era, 30 million U.S. dollars in inland provinces like Xinjiang is simply an unimaginable amount of astronomical foreign exchange. .

　　 This rich foreign guest can donate 30 million U.S. dollars to an unrelated place, so when he arrives at the destination, why would he have to invest 10 to 20 million U.S. dollars?

　　 This kind of rich man can't neglect, if it makes foreign guests upset, isn't this investment in vain?

　　In this era, government departments still do not "only DGP theory", and the primary task of government departments at all levels is to earn foreign exchange!

Before 1986, before the "Foreign Investment Enterprise Law" was promulgated, all the foreign capital introduced by China Xia was joint ventures, and domestic shares must occupy the majority of joint ventures. This ensured the safety of state-owned funds, but led to foreign investment. Funds have a lot of worries about entering China Investment. After all, I invested a lot of money in real money, but I didn't have a controlling stake. This is very difficult for foreign capitalists to accept.

　　This led to the fact that before 1986, there were not many foreign capitals entering China.

　　 However, with the promulgation of the "Foreign Investment Enterprise Law", China has also allowed pure foreign investment. In this way, many foreign investors have dared to enter China Xia boldly. In the past two years, more and more foreign funds have entered China Xia.

　　 But most of the foreign investment is concentrated in coastal provinces such as the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Inland provinces like Xinjiang whose resources have not yet been fully developed, let alone foreign investment, even if the domestic investment is not much.

　　 Now suddenly there is a big foreign rich man who says that he throws US dollars in units of "tens of millions", so he can't make this guy happy?

　　 This is tens of millions of U.S. dollars in foreign investment. Even if it is placed in coastal provinces, it is an absolute large amount of foreign investment.

　　 Therefore, under the warm reception of the Hetian Prefectural Committee and many leaders of the administrative department, Yang Jing was really stunned twice.

However, Yang Jing came to Hetian this time because he wanted to throw money, so at the wine table, Yang Jing has promised to invest no less than US$50 million in the Hetian area in the next few years to develop the local area. Of mineral resources. At the same time, it also acquired the best seed material and mountain material.

　　 Regarding Yang Jing’s promise, let alone Hetian high-ranking officials and administrative commissioners, even the leaders of Xinjiang Province attached great importance to it and repeatedly asked Hetian to do a good job in reception, and this investment must be kept in Hetian.

　　 As for people who say they want to mine mineral resources, everyone knows what's going on. Isn't this foreigner rushing to Hetian Yu?

　　 If you want to mine, then mine. But if you can’t mine, you can’t blame me.

　　 Since ancient times, everyone has known that Hetian jade is a good thing, and its value is very high. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, according to surveys, the reserves of Hetian jade in the Kunlun Mountains were also extremely large. A rough estimate is that at least one million tons of jade resources are contained in the 1,500-kilometer-long mining area of ​​Kunlun Mountains.

　　Million tons is not a small number. You have to know that the Tatlikesu mine in Kunlun Mountain's four major jade mines has been mining for 30 years, but only more than 3,000 tons of jade have been mined!

　　 And this million tons is only a rough estimate, how many undiscovered mines in the huge Kunlun Mountains?

　　 For the Hetian government of this era, Hetian jade is simply an inexhaustible mineral resource. But everyone knows that if you want to mine so much jade from the depths of the mountain, you can't just talk about it. Even if you invest 50 million dollars, you can mine at most hundreds of thousands of tons. Jade is amazing.

　　 Going into the mountains to pick jade, that can't be done with money.

　　How difficult is it to pick jade in Kunlun Mountain? People who have not experienced it personally can't even imagine it.

There is a record in the "Zhuye Pavilion Miscellaneous Notes" by Yao Yuanzhi of the Qing Dynasty: "The one in the southwest of Ye'erqiang called Mildai Mountain, whose mountains are endless and do not know the end. The mountains produce jade, which is inexhaustible, and it is a mountain of jade. Shanheng Snow, if you want to pick a big weapon, people must take a yak, hold a big nail above the giant rope, put the nail on the rope, and then chisel the jade. And then tie the giant rope down, slowly cover the mountain, and fear the jade suddenly It fell to the ground and cracked."

　　 From this Qing Dynasty description of the hardships of mining jade, we can see how difficult it is to mine jade! Although modern jade mining tools have improved a bit, the progress of jade mining tools does not have much effect on the dangerous high roads, thin air, harsh environment, and continuous high mountains of snow-capped mountains.

　　 Now that the jade is transported out of the mountain, it is still carried on the back of a donkey. In the Hotan area, there is a jingle, like Yao Yuanzhi’s poems, describing the hardships of the jade pickers: "A little donkey, two feet on the road with a short whip, the winter is like a cold winter, the seasons do not know spring and summer, five nights sleep in Kunlun, six desires and seven emotions. Throw it all away, the beautiful jade is well-known in all directions, who knows after nine deaths."

　　 On the rugged and steep Kunlun Mountains, manpower is the only tool for transporting jade materials. If there is a slight mistake, causing a large piece of jade material to be broken, the value of the jade material will plummet, and the personal reputation of the jade picker will also plummet. The mining of Hetian jade has been very difficult since ancient times, and the human and financial resources invested are very large. Just the cost of mining jade for thousands of years, I don’t know how many 50 million US dollars have been added, but Hetian jade is still extremely scarce. of.

　　 This point, the locals in Hotan know very well.

　　 Therefore, the Hotan government readily agreed to Yang Jing's request. As far as these leaders are concerned, as long as they can keep the foreign capital in Hotan, they can do anything.

　　 As for whether you can pick jade smoothly, and how much jade you can pick, that has nothing to do with us.

Of course, the leaders of Hotan also kindly advised Yang Jing not to spend so much effort into the mountain to pick jade. Not only is it dangerous, but the harvest is not cost-effective compared to the investment. It is better to honestly buy jade pickers from the mountain in Hotan. The best jade that comes down, as long as you can let it go, then we can provide you with a variety of best materials.

　　 In fact, the Hetian jade produced in the entire Xinjiang province and the top quality jade are all being exported.

　　In the 1970s and 1980s, in addition to the top quality Dashanzi, Hetian jade used for export also had a large number of top quality seed materials and mountain materials, especially the large ones in the seed materials, "more delicious"!

　　 It is estimated that in 30 years, few people will be able to think that in the 1970s and 1980s, most of the seeds used for exporting foreign exchange were "kg". This is a "kg-level" seed material. Thirty years later, a piece of "two-level" seed jade is the best product that can be met but not sought. But in this era, "kg-level" seed material cannot be said. It can be seen everywhere, but there are definitely a lot of them.

In this era, the complete kilogram-level bulk material is the darling that major jade carving factories are competing to receive. In this era, the domestic market in this era, the demand and value of seed materials have not really been discovered and returned, so these kilogram-level top-quality seed materials are accepted. After that, jade carving factories generally tended to carve seed jade Dashanzi and then mainly used it for export.

　　In this era, people can only say that people are too willful-the seed material is smaller, don't; a little incomplete, don't; a little bit green, don't...At this time, the requirements for the seed material are "extremely demanding." It is conceivable that in this era, how many top-quality seeds are there in the entire Hotan area!

　　 But also, because of the pursuit of exporting foreign exchange, a lot of seed materials have been scrapped in this era, including many large fine rough stones.

　　 Yang Jing also knows these things. Many materials in later generations have mentioned the "stupid things" that the jade carving factories had done in this era. This kind of picking and picking, not the best thing, will be a typical "violent thing" 30 years later, it will make jade lovers curse "rule things" at the bridge of their noses.

　　 So, when Commissioner Zhu Changhe, Commissioner of the Administrative Office, Commissioner Zhu suggested that Yang Jing buy the finished jade carvings or top-quality seed materials from the major jade carving factories in Hotan, Yang Jing happily agreed, but he still had a small condition.

"Commissioner Zhu, I can receive part of the finished jade carvings, but the quantity will not be too large. On the contrary, I want all the seed materials, mountain materials, mountain flowing water or Gobi materials stocked by major jade carving factories. If you ask for a price, I will use U.S. dollars to charge. , How about the price as you go~www.readwn.com~?"

　　 Because the true value of Hetian jade has not been developed in this era, the price of Hetian jade is incredibly low. There is a sentence in the later Hetian area that can explain the low price of Hetian jade in this era. Thirty years ago, Hetian jade was sold on the basis of car skins, but now, Hetian jade is sold on the basis of grams!

　　 This is the difference in the price of Hetian jade caused by thirty years.

　　 In this era, the price of Hetian jade is really low. Of course, the kind of Dashanzi that has been carved is another matter, but the price is far lower than that of later generations. As for the rough stone of this age, the price is really not much higher than that of the stone...

　　 That's why Yang Jing made such a request to Commissioner Zhu. Of course, the best decorations must be collected. Now this kind of mountain is extremely difficult to see in later generations. Just take one out and it can be called a national treasure.

　　 Of course, what Yang Jing wants more is the rough stones and seed materials. Even the rough stones and seed materials that are wasted by those jade carving factories now will be invaluable after 30 years.

"Absolutely! Mr. Smith, if you have any needs, please mention that we and the Tian Xing Department will do our best to meet your requirements!" For Commissioner Zhu, whether it is to go into the mountains to pick jade or to buy finished jade carvings or mountain raw stones And seeds are both earning foreign exchange! As long as you can keep your dollars in Hotan, whatever you say will do!

　　 Commissioner Zhu is not talking nonsense. First in earning foreign exchange! First in earning foreign exchange! First in earning foreign exchange! The important thing is said three times, and it is still common in this era.

　　For Commissioner Zhu, if the mountainous Hetian jade can be transformed into the green Franklin, it is more important than anything else!
