C650 Mine Miner
C650 Mine Miner
Everyone felt that Yang Bo was young and frivolous, that his journey had been too smooth, that he had never experienced failure, and that was why he was so arrogant and ignorant!
Yang Bo gave his name card to everyone and left. After obtaining the news that Shen Qiang was going to open a mine, he felt a sense of urgency. The emerald resources were limited, the two of them wanted to snatch it from him!
If the other party were to discover a rich mine ahead of time, it would be a huge loss to the other party. Therefore, Yang Bo had to speed up his pace.
That night, Wu La found dozens of motorcycles, shocking Yang Bo, but he knew that Wu La was a local tyrant and knew it better than he did, so he allowed the other party to arrange everything.
The next day, the group of people went on their way. Yue Junyao did not know how to ride a motorbike, so she could only sit behind Yang Bo and lay on his back.
After truly entering the mountain, Yang Bo finally understood the real reason why he was riding the motorcycle instead of going out of town. The roads here were rugged, and cars were not allowed to pass through.
Fortunately, Yang Bo's coordination had improved a lot. He was very fast and stable when riding the bicycle, so even though Wu La had fallen a few times, Yang Bo did not fall down.
After riding for more than three hours, they finally arrived at the densely-packed mining areas. The group of people had to pass the checkpoint first, Yang Bo took out his permit, took out a stack of money, and stuffed it in. The guard officer didn't even look at his permit, and immediately let them in!
His attitude was practically respectful, but Yang Bo was generous and gave him 10,000 euros instead of Myanmar currency. This was equivalent to half a year's worth of income for a small military officer, hence they had to be careful when dealing with him.
As soon as he entered the mining area, Yang Bo took a look around. There were many small temporary houses densely packed in the mountains, and the ground was filled with darkness. The rainy season was not over yet, and many of the pits were filled with rain that could not be dug.
Some of the mountains had been dug away by more than half, and some of the holes were hundreds of meters deep. This was the first time Yang Bo had ever seen such a scene, and it shocked him greatly!
The group stopped at a mountain peak for a while. Wu La pointed to a mountain peak in the distance, and started to introduce the various forces there.
Wu La said: "Boss, I'm afraid that you have investigated thoroughly. The cost of mining is extremely high and the main mining area in Myanmar has a total of about 3000 square kilometers. Currently, the total mining area is about 400 square kilometers. Since jade is so popular now, why is the remaining 2,000 square kilometers not mined yet? It's all because of the imbalanced input and output! "
"The initial excavation of more than 400 square kilometers was either flat ground or gentle slope, which could be counted as input and output. The remaining ones were big mountains, and to blow up these mountains and dig out the jade underneath, one had to invest a lot of money. This investment is more than the cost of digging out the stone. So for a long time, even though there are many people digging up jade, they were all dug up in a relatively fixed area. "
"Myanmar basically doesn't have any new mines anymore. They are all in the same mining site, and if we dig deeper, we can first use artificial and simple machinery to dig to 30 meters underground. Then we use imported machinery to dig to 50 to 80 meters underground, and now it's only 110 meters."
Yang Bo nodded his head slightly. Since he wanted to open up a mine, he knew a lot of information about this place. Naturally, he understood the current mining situation of the Emerald Mine in Myanmar.
Yang Bo pointed to the surroundings, "Do these all belong to someone?"
"A lot of them have been abandoned, but some have already been excavated. There are also some geologists who don't like them at all. I have no statistics on them." Wu La said.
Yang Bo slightly nodded, "What about the information you've organized before?"
"Here." Wu La handed over a stack of documents.
Wu La took the information and carefully read the records on it. Wu La was very meticulous, he listed seven locations that might contain jadeite mines and basically all of them gave a reason. This caused Yang Bo to be unable to help himself from looking at Wu La one more time, "What did you do in the past?" Wu La glanced at Yang Bo, "I have read about geology for a period of time. Afterwards, I had some matters to attend to at home, because I could still be considered proficient in the Chinese and Burmese languages. Right now, I just want to be a guide." Yang Bo stared at him, "Have you never done any other work before?"
"Would it count as carrying dishes and washing dishes to sell newspapers?" Wu La asked.
Yang Bo laughed, "You did well, follow me in the future!"
Wu La looked at Yang Bo with a face full of surprise, "Really?" Yang Bo nodded, "It's true."
Wu La was a little hesitant again, "My mother is in Yangon, and she requires a large amount of medical fees every month. If I stay here and work for a long time, I won't be able to take care of her."
"You can take a leave of absence every month, and the company will definitely set up an office in Rangoon. You can transfer to there then!" Yang Bo said.
Wu La was a little excited, "From today onwards, I will give this one hundred and thirty kilograms to the boss!"
Yang Bo laughed, he then pointed to the first item on Wu La's list, "Let's take a look at this abandoned mine first!"
"Alright!" Wu La immediately came down.
Very quickly, the group of people descended the mountain. The dust and dust they brought along were like long dragons!
The sky was an azure blue color that could not be seen in China. The mountains in the distance were not tall, but the terrain was steep and it was possible to see the dense crowd gathered around to pick them up.
There were some large scale machines operating, and more than a dozen of them had to be equipped to pick up valuable Raw Jadeite s. These workers were all very familiar with the jadeite, so the number of Raw Jadeite that escaped the net was very few, to the extent that the workers were all master stone gamblers!
Yue Junyao looked at the state of the mountains and plains, and she felt that it was really strange. "There were so many large machines here, why did we only use a portion of them? If I were to use machinery, would it be faster? "
"Because it's cheap!" Wu La heard the question and quickly replied: "The miners' income is only $1 a day, converted to RMB, which is around $240 a month. With such a cheap labour force, of course the owners would not want to use machinery."
"Because the equipment needs to be depreciated, they need to use oil, and even wear and tear, to the boss, this is a loss!"
Yang Bo shook his head. Initially, he thought that the reason why he did not use large-scale equipment was because these large-scale equipment could cause injuries to the Jadeite Wool Materials and affect the value of Raw Jadeite. Who would have thought that these billions of jadeite tycoons would be stingy with this amount of money!
It was as if capital had come to this world. From head to toe, blood and filth flowed from every pore!
