Chapter 652 Ice and Fire Double Heaven(1/2)
Liu Qingshan was also a little stunned when he looked at the things that Hou San was holding.
The thing is dark and golden, with uneven surfaces and flat shapes.
He is quite big, about a bigger lap than the blue ball, and he looks quite heavy. Although Hou Sangan is not very strong, he is still an adult.
Liu Qingshan hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to pick him up.
While putting the thing on Liu Qingshan's hand, Hou San muttered: "Boss, you're calm."
That thing really feels heavy when you buy it, but you're afraid it looks like more than ten kilograms.
This is because the shape is relatively flat. If it is spherical, it is probably heavier.
Hou San patted his hands: "This is the golden lump transported by Medevich of the Black Bear Gang. There are too many impurities inside."
"If we hadn't had jewelry maker here, I would have found someone to melt it into a few gold ingots. That would be so pleasing to the eye. Now this thing looks like an ugly thing."
That's right, the thing in front of me is indeed quite ugly. Not only is it bumpy on the surface, but there are holes in some places.
Liu Qingshan carefully studied the golden lumps in his arms and said, "Brother Hou, thanks to you not melting into golden ingots, otherwise the loss would be great."
"Boss, what do you mean by this?" Hou San didn't understand.
Liu Qingshan put the gold lump on the ground: "This should be called dog head gold, it is a natural gold nugget with impurities inside, which is normal."
"The amount of gold in this dog head is very rare, so it cannot be calculated based on the value of gold. People regard it as a symbol of wealth and good luck, and it is worth much more than gold."
Hou Sanyi slapped his thigh: "When I was a child, I heard that when I was a child, I heard that anyone who picked up gold and made a fortune, wouldn't it be this thing, right?"
"That's right." Liu Qingshan nodded: "This kind of natural gold nugget is usually produced near the gold mine, and the causes are very complicated."
"Some people also say that this is a gold-rich meteorite that falls onto the earth and burns in the atmosphere, burns out other substances, leaving only gold, which is formed."
Liu Qingshan gently stroked the golden lump on the ground again: "No matter what, it is very precious, it can be regarded as a treasure."
Hou Sanze blinked his eyes: "I heard from Medevich that his men exchanged this thing with a box of canned fruit. I wonder if there is any?"
The guy slapped his thigh again: "By the way, boss, I heard from Medevich that there are quite a few gold mines there. As you tell me, dog-headed gold is usually near the gold mine, which is in line with it."
Is it a gold mine? Of course Liu Qingshan knows that decades later, there will be more than 200 gold mines on Lake Baikal, and the gold output is very huge.
The Russians had a vast land area, so the corresponding resources were very rich.
In fact, if we really talk about it, the Baikal area still belonged to China for a period of history.
The famous Su Wu shepherds is in the North Sea, and the North Sea refers to Lake Baikal.
However, some rulers in history believe that such a wild land is of no use.
This stupid concept was also a very common phenomenon at that time. Did you sell Alaska to the United States without seeing the Russians?
As for the price, it can scare people when you say it: it’s more than seven million US dollars, so cheap that people can’t believe it.
Just this, Lao Mi still missed Lai Jiji, and did not pay the full amount.
Ding Shan also added: "I heard from the Black Bear Gang that the gold over there is indeed very cheap. In addition to the Russians, there are a few people named there. I can't remember the names. I heard that it is a Mongolian branch."
"It's a Buryat, right?" Liu Qingshan's information was of course not comparable to that of people now.
Ding Shan nodded: "Yes, it's the Buryats. I heard that they still live a more traditional grazing life. Sometimes when they grazed by the river, they could find gold in the river."
"For them, this gold is not as useful as food or drink except for some jewelry."
Ding Shan said, while smacking his lips from time to time, and he seemed to be really envious.
If it were changed here, then why would you put cattle and sheep? You wouldn’t go hunting for gold every day.
Liu Qingshan also understood a little: No wonder he could exchange such a large piece of dog-head gold with a box of canned fruits.
The nomadic tribes in Buryat may have never been to the city in their entire lives, and gold is really of little use to them.
Hou San also whispered: "It's a pity that those Buryats also come here to conduct border trade, and we exchange supplies for gold, that would be satisfying."
Liu Qingshan also felt aroused his heart. The Buryats could not come, they could go there.
They can't get through, but since the Black Bear Gang can transport jade back, it should be fine if it transports gold.
Mainly in the Buryat, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the government is far away.
If you build more large-scale mining equipment and mine gold on a large scale, you might be really in trouble.
No, this matter must be discussed with the Black Bear Gang. If it is done, there will be another way of wealth.
As for the clearance, when winter comes, aren’t there any passages on the river surface?
Besides, they can even make fighter jets and tanks for you, let alone gold?
Liu Qingshan remembers that the Buryats in the later Buryat Republic were still clamoring for independence. After all, they were a Mongolian group and had nothing to do with the Russians.
So is there such a possibility: when the Soviet Union collapsed, it urged the Buryats to become independent?
After returning to the hotel from the warehouse, Liu Qingshan thought about it for a long time. The matter was due to humans, so he decided to give it a try.
As for this batch of Russian jade, when Liu Qingshan was about to go back, he used a large truck to pull it back to Jiapigou and stockpied it up first.
Now even Hetian jade and jade are not that valuable, let alone lower-grade Russian materials.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan came up with another idea: Should we stock up on the cheaper jade materials nowadays and make a batch of Hetian jade materials and jadeite wool materials?
The next morning, Liu Qingshan woke up before dawn.
Because of the high latitude here, it is very late in winter and very early in darkness.
When he woke up Li Tieniu from a house and went out for morning exercises together, there were still stars outside.
Now is the coldest time of the year, and the coldest time of the day in the morning, it is estimated that the temperature is almost minus forty degrees Celsius.
The two brothers ran a few miles on the empty street. The sky was just dawn and their bodies were much warmer.
The sound of running in a neat way came from behind. Liu Qingshan turned around and immediately heard a neat way of greeting: "Mr. Liu!"
It turned out that they were all veterans from the company, and under the leadership of Li Tie, Hu Wei and the old squad leader, they also practiced in the morning.
Although they left the barracks, they did not throw away their style in the army.
Liu Qingshan and the others ran together. While running, Liu Qingshan also chatted with Hu Wei beside him: "Commander Hu, your stomach is swelling, you have to exercise well."
Hu Wei has indeed gained a lot. In the past two years, he has mainly expanded territory in other places and is busy preparing to build instant noodles branches. Naturally, he has to eat and drink with local government officials.
He was not as relaxed as Liu Qingshan, but was running with panting, just like a bellows.
There was also a layer of white frost in front of the scarf on his mouth: "Little brother, I'm sleeping well, I have to pull me up."
"Old Hu, you should exercise." Li Tieniu also said in a muffled voice.
Hu Wei also kept nodding: "I don't think so, but when I compare it with everyone, I can see the difference."
Although he had worked hard to run, his willpower was still very firm and he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
People from the army are much more resilient than ordinary people.
Liu Qingshan patted Hu Wei on the shoulder and said nothing.
After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock, and the group arranged to go to the river to catch winter.
The fourth and fifth brothers were all dressed like cotton bags, and ran happily in front of him. The fourth brother accidentally slipped and didn't get up for a long time because he was dressed too thickly.
The river surface is not as flat as people imagine, but ice ridges are distributed, because the river water does not freeze at once.
At this moment, Chief Jiang Shui-Chief led the fishing team and was already waiting on the river.
In addition to a horse sledge, two jeeps were also driven because they were fishing at the location of six or seven miles away.
However, everyone was not busy getting on the bus, so they strolled on the ice for a while before taking the transportation.
There were a lot of people coming and I couldn't squeeze in the car. The few left were following the car, pulling the jeep, and the soles of the shoes slipped out on the ice.
Anyway, the car speed is not fast, so I just think it's slippery.
After walking out for a few miles, there were fishermen on the river, some people pulling sledges and some people driving carriages.
The horses here must hang their palms under their hooves, and horseshoe nails are nailed on the horseshoe, so they do not slip at all on the ice.
When we arrived at the fishing site where Jiang Shuichang and his friends saw many branches on the river, there were also some cloth strips tied to it, fluttering with the north wind.
This is an ice hole that has been chiseled a long time ago. It can be pierced with a few ice horns and then it will be completely opened.
Otherwise, if you rush to ice holes every day, you will be exhausted to death.
A mark is made on it to prevent someone from falling in accidentally.
Jiang Shuichang led Wang Yufeng and the others to get down the net. The river water below was flowing, so it was mainly just to get down the net.
The ice layer here is too thick, so it is very difficult to penetrate the net under the water.
It was cold and it was really hard to work on the ice.
Perhaps they are about to say goodbye to the life of the fishing team, and Wang Yufeng and others are also working very hard today.
While they were proficient in underground nets, they yelled twice from time to time.
Listening to the songs they sang, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to laugh. What's wrong with singing, and he had to sing "A Fire in Winter".
Just sing, it's okay to shout out now.
