Chapter 117 Mining Covenant
Northern Myanmar is the only source of high-grade jadeite in the world. The jade mining area is centered on Hpakant. To the north of Pakant are the Leida and Houjiang mining areas, and to the south are the Nanqi and Xiaochang mining areas.
The jadeite raw material production areas are mainly distributed in the range of about 96 degrees to 97 degrees east longitude and 25 degrees to 26 degrees north latitude, which is what we usually think of as the "Kachin State" (Jingbo ethnic group) in northern Myanmar and the land of Yunnan in China, which is connected by mountains and rivers.
It belongs to Mizna and Pagan area.
According to historical records, jade resources are mainly concentrated in the Michina, Pagan, and Longtan Wulu River basins, which are 250 kilometers long and 10 to 15 kilometers wide, with a total area of approximately 3,000 square kilometers.
On the entire earth, nature has only used the conditions of "high pressure and low temperature" to breed this unique jade in these continuous mountains. There are pits, caves, mines, and mines where jadeite wool can be dug.
It is called "Changkou" locally. The whole
There are hundreds of openings in the ore mining area. So far, no one has visited all the openings, so no one can say the number of openings. The current mining area of Myanmar businessmen is about 400 square kilometers and nearly 40 kilometers long.
It is about 10 kilometers wide.
The mining of jade in Myanmar generally revolves around a river. The Wulu River is also known as the river of wealth in Myanmar. Of course, some people call this river the Wulong River. Several people in Myanmar
The most famous jade mine mouth is located along this river.
There are many mine mouths in the upper, middle and lower reaches. This river brings people many surprises almost every day. However, there are also old and new mine mouths. Generally speaking, the quality of old pits is better, while the new pits are
Slightly less so.
What Fang Qi is going to go to this time is the most famous Houjiang material, also known as Kandi. There are many places where this kind of material is produced, but they are usually closed to people, but General Samba made an exception for Fang Qi.
In addition to wooing Fang Qi, he was also shocked by Fang Qi's actions yesterday.
In Myanmar, people from the Intelligence Bureau are everywhere, and Fang Qi's actions were naturally not hidden from him. Fang Qi spent more than 150 million euros yesterday, and even he was shocked when he heard about it. And Fang Qi was also shocked.
They were looking for expensive materials, and even he was embarrassed to take Fang Qi to those small markets.
Houjiang material is produced in the impact sand of the river bed. Among them, it is divided into Laohoujiang and New Houjiang. Laohoujiang is produced at the bottom of the impact layer. The skin is thin, gray-green and yellow, and the individuals are very small, rarely exceeding 0.3 kg.
It has a good bottom and is often full of green, with less fog and more cracks. The color of the finished stone is better than that of the original stone (that is, it adds color), and its processing ability is good. It is an ideal material for making ring faces.
The skin of Xinhoujiang is thicker than that of Laohoujiang, and the size is larger, generally about 3 kilograms. The water and bottom are worse than those of Laohoujiang. The density and hardness are slightly smaller, and there are more cracks. The polished finished product is not as good as the color of the original stone, even if
It is full of green and high in green, and it is difficult to make high-end jewelry.
This time General Samba took Fang Qi to get Lao Houjiang. He was small, but Master Chen was excited. The materials of Lao Houjiang were all high-quality, and they were all high-end products. Usually he only heard about it.
He hasn't been there because he doesn't have the qualifications. What's more, Samba will lead the team this time.
"Hahaha, Mr. Fang, this mining area is not big, but there are a lot of rough stones in it." Blood and Tears Jade is not a fake, but of course it is better than ruby. It is said that in ruby mining, workers are injected with drugs, and the workers every day
Work hard in exchange for drugs. Although jade mining is not that difficult, it is still extremely difficult.
So the people here look a little embarrassed, and there are many points nearby, and there are people guarding every place with guns. In a building on the mine, there are several machine guns, and next to it, a big Nuo
The open hood is full of raw stones, and there are many original dealers.
"These are all freshly mined jade, Mr. Fang, take a look." Fang Qi looked at the entrance of the market, which was similar to the jade trading market. Many people were picking inside. Looking at the arrival of Samba and Fang Qi, many people were
A moment of shock.
General Samba was the owner of this place, and now he personally brought people to select the ore. They couldn't help but look at Fang Qi curiously, what kind of identity did he have that allowed General Samba to accompany him.
"This is?" The rough stones inside are all very small. Fang Qi looked at a rough stone in his hand, his hands full of shock, ice emperor green. Fang Qi looked at the piles of rough stones inside, although they were all small pieces.
, but the rich green color on it all shows this terrifying yield rate.
"These are all rough stones that weigh more than one kilogram. Generally, they can only appear on the public market. Therefore, if Mr. Fang buys a bunch of rough stones here, he can give Mr. Fang one piece as a gift." After hearing what General Samba said,
Everyone behind them couldn't help but be surprised. Such a rough stone, no matter how bad it is, is worth no less than one million.
"How much does a pile cost?" Looking at General Samba, Fang Qi's eyes flashed.
"A pile is divided according to the weight of one ton. This pile is at least a thousand pieces of rough stone. Under normal circumstances, those traders with connections only need a pile of eight million, but if Mr. Fang wants it, it will cost seven million.
, how about it?" After hearing General Samba's words, Fang Qi couldn't help but look at Samba, this is 10 million yuan, 100 million kyat. And he also gave away a rough stone worth at least 1 million.
"Ten piles." Fang Qi's words made Samba's eyes light up. Ten piles is 70 million. This is his evaluation of Fang Qi. Moreover, these rough stones are so small that even the vendors are
You have to choose carefully, not to mention Fang Qi. Under normal circumstances, no one will buy a bunch without half a day of observation.
These rough stones are not easy to choose. Fang Qi looked at these green stones and focused on the ten piles with the strongest green color. No matter what, he knew that he would definitely not lose money on the ten piles. Even if he lost money, he could make up for it with the ten piles of rough stones.
.
"There, there." Fang Qi closed his eyes, as if he were blind, and pointed out the ten piles of rough stones he had just selected. Samba General Dons, who had originally planned to accompany Fang Qi to choose, was stunned. But the accompanying adjutant
But he remembered Fang Qi's choice.
"Mr. Fang, don't you go down and make the selection yourself?" Looking at Fang Qi, Samba couldn't help but persuade him.
"No, it's all the same. Each pile costs at least a thousand yuan. How can I have time to read them all? Anyway, I won't lose much even if I lose. I can definitely earn back the ten rough stones in it." Fang Qi heard this.
General Samba's face tightened, and his eyes changed when he looked at Fang Qi. Moreover, Fang Qi's last sentence made his heart skip a beat.
"Since Mr. Fang is confident that he can make money back from here, how about we make a bet?" Hearing Samba's words, Fang Qi couldn't help but frown.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang will definitely not suffer in this matter. The Burmese public sale will be on November 3 this year. However, the three of us have rough stones to participate in the selection of stone gambling, but before that, there was another right, which was the distribution of the stone gambling share. Three
The big jadeite family will have a stone betting competition. If they win, they can occupy 50% of the public rough stones in Myanmar. If they lose, they will share the remaining 50% with other families and the jadeite rough stone company.
.
Our bet is that if Mr. Fang unlocks more than 70 million jadeite, our Samba family is willing to provide ten top-quality rough stones to the family to invite Mr. Fang to represent our family. In the future, if Mr. Fang buys enough rough stones from here, all of them will be seven.
This is the original stone, which is a pile of five million. Of course, if Mr. Fang loses, the jade from these original stones will be bought to Mr. Fang at the original price, or Mr. Fang doesn’t need it.”
Hearing General Samba's words, Master Chen and others couldn't help being surprised, and then they wanted to dissuade Fang Qi. After all, this was no joke.
Ten rough stones can yield 70 million euros of jadeite, which means that each rough stone must yield 7 million euros of jadeite. Unless you use top-grade glass species, how can you extract 70 million euros worth of jadeite?
"Okay." After Fang Qi agreed, General Samba immediately smiled. This is an extremely difficult challenge, but it also determines Fang Qi's value. If Fang Qi doesn't have this bit of self-confidence, there will be no value in winning over him. Likewise,
, if Fang Qi fails, there will be no value for him to win over.
The news of Fang Qi's bet with Samba naturally spread throughout the venue. Fang Qi and the others did not understand it, but Fang Qi unlocked an jade worth 70 million from ten rough stones, which gave them a free time.
Fun, especially for some people who take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
"Mr. Fang, do you want me to find someone to disperse these rough stones?" Hearing Samba's words, Fang Qi nodded. At the same time, he reached out and began to check the scattered rough stones next to him. The smallest of these rough stones is the size of a teapot, and the largest is no more than
Only the size of a football.
"This piece." Fang Qi said this piece was a complete piece of material, but its quality was excellent. Then Fang Qi began to look for really good materials. When there was a top quality piece, Fang Qi immediately grabbed that stone.
"This is ice-type imperial green." This piece of glass-type emperor green is the largest piece Fang Qi has ever seen. Fang Qi has already seen two pieces of ice-type emperor green here.
"This piece." Fang Qi threw it directly, looking very unconcerned.
"Glass is full of green seedlings." "Glass is full of yellow sun green", "Glass is full of emerald",······
Nearly a thousand pieces of high-quality Houjiang materials were found, and five pieces of glass type, at least a dozen pieces of high-ice type, and a special piece were found. Fang Qi was shocked. The mine is a mine, and even he
I have to say, this is simply a Lao Jin machine. Fang Qi didn’t know what the other Houjiang materials were like, but this one, Fang Qi’s heart was filled with horror.
"Mr. Fang has made his selection." General Samba couldn't help but said when he saw Fang Qi finishing his selection:
"Well, let's solve it. Do it together or piece by piece?" After hearing Fang Qi's words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"Hahaha, let's figure it out together. I see that Mr. Fang always pays attention to efficiency in everything he does. It only takes less than an hour until now." Hearing Samba's words, Fang Qi smiled. Indeed, this kind of thing is in front of him.
