Chapter 572 Mining
The General's Mansion is located in a villa area in the city center. It is surrounded by green trees and blocked by tall walls. In the center of the community, there is a lake and the environment is quiet.
Yang Bo took Yue Junyao to the banquet. Yue Junyao had been left in the hotel by Yang Bo during this period, which made Yang Bo feel embarrassed, so he took her there.
The car drove straight into the courtyard of the villa with an automatic retractable door. Yang Bo could even see that there was something wrong with the security guards surrounding the villa. This community was very tightly guarded.
After getting out of the car, a butler guided the two of them forward. The shape of the villa was quite peculiar, with some characteristics of Western-style architecture, but it was not exactly the same. It seemed to have some characteristics of Buddhism.
The interior decoration of the villa was simple, except for simple tables, chairs, appliances, and plain white ceramic tiles on the floor. There was no trace of luxury at all. This situation made Yang Bo slightly startled.
Seeing the old man in military uniform sitting on the sofa, Yang Bo quickly walked over and saluted General Songqing: "General Songqing!"
General Songqing's face was serious, unsmiling, simple and frank, and he was strict in doing things. This was what Yang Bo called the old man before he came, and the old man warned him. Now it seems that it is really the case.
General Songqing sat on the sofa and pointed at the other party, "Sit!"
Yang Bo sat down, put the gift box on the coffee table, straightened his back a little, and looked at Song Qing.
Songqing glanced at the gift box on the table and smiled slightly, "What gift did you bring?"
Yang Bo was a little surprised. According to domestic customs, at this time, he should be polite and ask what gifts he brought, and then continue the conversation. Unexpectedly, Songqing asked directly.
Yang Bo quickly opened the box and said, "It's a piece of jade. There is no shortage of jade in Myanmar, and the general will certainly not be short of jade, so I brought a piece of jade and carved a tiger sculpture myself."
While talking, Yang Bo had already opened the box, revealing the dark jade tiger inside!
The general picked up the jade tiger and looked at it with great interest. The jade tiger looked like it had been newly carved. It was completely black and lying on the ground. It looked harmless, but with one claw extended forward, it seemed that it was ready to fight at any time.
preparation!
"It's so lifelike, great!" the general praised happily.
"As long as the general likes it," Yang Bo said.
"What kind of jade is this?" the general asked again.
"Concubine Jade." Yang Bo explained. He told the origin of Concubine Jade and boasted loudly, "Wearing Concubine Jade can relieve fatigue, help sleep, and prolong life."
The general laughed, "I'm not interested in extending life, let's try it out!"
After that, the general ordered people to bring water and put the jade tiger in. Soon, the water temperature became ice cold.
The general was surprised, praised a few words, and then asked: "Isn't this piece of jade expensive?"
"We have an old saying in China: BMWs are given to heroes, which means that only good things can be worthy of generals!" Yang Bo flattered him without any sense of restraint.
The general laughed.
Yang Bo felt that something was wrong with Mr. Cui's words. General Songqing had already laughed several times in this moment. This was not a serious smile!
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then General Songqing noticed Yue Junyao. He asked a few questions and invited them to have a meal.
The rest of General Songqing's family happened to be out, so only three of them ate. There were four dishes on the table, three of which were vegetarian, very simple!
Songqing just said, "We have some official duties tonight, so we won't drink."
"Okay, okay!" Yang Bo responded, and then he remembered that he still had some monkey wine over there, and he could take it out and taste it if he had time.
General Songqing ate very quickly. Yang Bo had just eaten half of it when he had already wiped his lips and said, "You guys eat slowly."
After that, he stood up and left.
Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, he was really straightforward!
Yang Bo had eaten, and Yue Junyao was still eating slowly, so he was called into the study.
General Songqing was handling official business. He motioned for Yang Bo to sit down and looked down again.
The study room is not big. There are bookcases on both sides of the walls, filled with books and documents. On the desk, there are stacks of documents.
The general wrote something, and then he looked up at Yang Bo, "You performed well in the public auction, but you were a little reckless!"
Yang Bo quickly said: "I would like to thank the general for his help, otherwise there would be no way to keep all the jadeite."
The general waved his hand, "No need to thank me. You have to thank your grandfather for this kind of thing. He had expected this kind of thing and asked me to arrange the team in advance to rush over."
Yang Bo was a little surprised. Although he reported some things to the old man, he did not report every detail. Unexpectedly, the old man had already thought of these things, and he couldn't help but be touched.
"I still have to thank General. After all, if you hadn't sent the army, my grandfather wouldn't have been able to do anything." Yang Bo said.
The general did not say anything more about this matter, but said: "I heard that when you were unraveling the stone, many people shouted Jade King?"
"This is indeed the case." Yang Bo said, "Maybe they think the jade material I extracted is pretty good."
The general shook his head, "The Jade King was not elected by them, but a semi-official title."
Yang Bo was very surprised. This was the first time he heard this statement, "A semi-official title? What are the conditions?"
"All Jade Kings need to master a vein of minerals!" the general said.
"Can outsiders dig the jade veins?" Yang Bo was very surprised. He had always thought that the Myanmar government had strict control over stone gambling and would never let go of the jade veins. But now it seems that this is far from the case!
The general nodded, "This is only a privilege open to a few people. First, you need to obtain the official authorization, and then you need to find a new mine yourself. The mining period of the mine is twenty years, and it needs to be handed over after twenty years.
!”
Yang Bo stared. Even if he didn't know clearly, he knew that it would take a lot of effort to find a new mine, and most of the cost of mining a mine was spent in the early stages of mining, because it is difficult to determine the vein during mining.
trend, so the cost is huge. Many mine owners went bankrupt because they could not support the initial expenses!
The key point is that the government will take it back after twenty years, and the mining period of ordinary mineral veins is sixty years, so there is still the possibility of losses!
Of course, for Yang Bo, this kind of thing is the most suitable, because he has clairvoyance and can completely determine the direction of the mineral veins. The initial exploration of the mineral veins and the initial cost will be reduced a lot!
"How many mines can one person mine?" Yang Bo suddenly asked.
Chapter completed!
