Chapter 331 Kamchatka Gold Mine

"Oh, hello, beautiful lady." Pavlov shook hands with Xu Zijiao with a smile, and then saw the fully armed Russian soldiers jumping out of the helicopter, quickly looking around with caution, especially when he saw two yellow men coming out of the house, he immediately looked at the two.

Jiang Lang and Yulia were the last ones. Zhou Xiao and Li Meili talked to the old man Pavlov. They didn’t know how to speak Russian, and Pavlov didn’t know how to speak English, let alone Chinese. Only Xu Zijiao could communicate with him. Several soldiers rushed past, and two gold diggers from the East China Sea of ​​China came to negotiate cooperation with Pavlov.

"Hello, Mr. Pavlov, I'm Jiang Lang." Jiang Lang got off the plane, and his equally fluent Russian made Pavlov much happier. Anyone who drove a helicopter to your house but couldn't even have a conversation, would be depressed.

"Mr. Jiang, I finally saw you. Welcome to Kamchatka. Lunch is ready. Let's have enough first. Let's talk after lunch." Old man Pavlov smiled and shook hands with Jiang Lang, and then called the group to the employee restaurant. After all, Jiang Lang and the others came, and only the employee restaurant could accommodate them.

"I think the mine hasn't started construction for a long time, right?" Jiang Lang greeted his two compatriots and asked Pavlov.

"Yes, there have been no workers for almost ten years. Local workers are reluctant to come because they think they have low wages and are too cold. You have seen this mine. I can't give a higher salary, otherwise I will lose money. I am different from Mr. Jiang. I heard that your Anadel Mine pays workers a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan?" Pavlov was simply unbelievable about Jiang Lang's generousness. Would he not lose money?

"Yes, you also know that Anadel is not as good as Kamchatka in that place, so you can't recruit anyone without giving high-paying workers." Jiang Lang was helpless. This was an unsolvable problem. Giving 50,000 rubles is equivalent to the salary of banks and government departments. If ordinary workers can get 20,000 yuan, it is considered a high salary.

Even through observations during this period, it is only some workers who do not work overtime. With a high monthly salary of 50,000,000, there are also many Russian workers who can accept overtime work. They just met some lazy people at the beginning. Now, with the increase in the base, more than half of the workers in the Anadel Mine have been working for more than 12 hours. Now, two shifts are implemented, which is the same as most mines in China, and Russian workers have not caused any trouble.

Although lunch was simple, it was enough. The crabs were eaten on a large plate, and the wild boar and fish were served in a pot. Jiang Lang asked his wife to eat them together, but the old lady smiled and asked Jiang Lang and others to eat them before going to work again. Their children were not here, but in Moscow.

Even if it was an old man who was already 70 years old, Pavlov could still drink with Jiang Lang. After that, Jiang Lang chatted with him and realized that this was a strange old man. At the same time, this gold mine was also his heartache for many years now.

When he was young, he was sent by the state at the age of 34 to serve as the country's billions of investment. He is the only senior manager of the only gold mine in Kamchatka. The natural conditions of this mine are extremely poor. There are no man's land in the northern Kamchatka and there are no roads. Waterways are open to five months every year. Usually, helicopters are used in and out. More than 500 workers in the mining area have been built. Because of the construction of this mine, a small town - Manile was born. When Kamchatka had not yet fully large-scale gold mining, his output was the entire Kamchatka.

After several twists and turns after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the gold mine became his personal asset. Then the workers were scattered and no one was left alone here. Because the conditions were really not good, the Russians did not come to work. There were originally Ukrainian workers, but after a few years, the Ukrainians did not come. The ruble now depreciates greatly, and the mine has long been stagnant. According to the final exploration data and mining data, there are still 1,535 tons. There is also a huge amount of oil and gas underground. But now everything has stopped because no one is willing to come to work here.

Jiang Lang felt that his boss was really a tragedy. He had a lot of resources and could not recruit workers. After lunch, Jiang Lang walked around Rong District. The Rong District of tens of thousands of square meters could show the glory of the past. There were six 7,000 cubic oil storage tanks, hundreds of large-scale machinery and equipment, dozens of crawler personnel carriers, various cars and ships were discarded. In Jiang Lang's opinion, most of them were probably completely scrapped. Pavlov was quite real. He admitted that most of them could only rust and rot in the camp because of unmanned maintenance. However, there were 52 bulldozers that he maintained when he was fine, and all of them could be used. OK, these are still useful assets. For traditional gold diggers, Jiang Lang really couldn't use them.

The camp can accommodate 700 people, there are three resorts and more than a dozen representative offices throughout Russia. There is a 1,200 square meter office building on the mine, but this area is larger than that in France. Now only Pavlov, his wife, and an old man who is also an accountant are still there. I have to say that this is his sorrow.

"Mr. Pavlov, does this mine sell all the assets underground? You know, I am not a pure gold digger. My main business is coal and crude oil mining. When you contacted me in the spring, I was deploying the Anadel Mine. Now everything is normal there and I have time to come and see it. Of course, your rights should be guaranteed, but I don't want you to ask for too much." Standing in front of a bulldozer in the camp, Jiang Lang

Looking at the tall big iron lump, he smiled, and waved his hand to Chen Ziping who was following him. He quickly handed over the box he carried in his hand. Zhou Xiao and Li Meili did not come here to check, but checked the mine reports and production records on the accountant. He only used Chen Ziping, although he did not understand Russian, did not understand what Jiang Lang and the old man were saying, but he would manage the mine in the future, so he was interested in this area.

"Mr. Jiang, there is oil and natural gas underground. If you take over it, you can mine it at will. You have the final say. But I don't know whether there is coal. There should be one, but no one can tell the amount of reserves. We only explored the gold mines here, and discovered oil and natural gas and then mined it for more than ten years. Later, after the workers were gone, they had to stop.

In terms of price, I treat it equally. 420 billion rubles, this 630,000 square kilometers of land ownership belongs to you. You can do anything on it."

"Oh, Mr. Pavlov, your price will scare all investors away. Forget it, you can talk to my lawyer later. I'll take a look at the reserve information here first." Jiang Lang said with an exaggerated expression. At the same time, he opened the box, took out the handheld prospector, installed a drill bit, and pressed the switch directly to the ground. With a thumping sound, the drill bit, which is nearly meter long, sinks into the ground. Jiang Lang quietly waits for the exploration results. Although this is simple, it can provide Jiang Lang with sufficient reference to whether he is determined to buy it.

420 billion rubles, about 13.2 billion US dollars, is not too expensive in terms of area, but after all, it depends on where it is. It is really not cheap here, even if you have thousands of tons of gold reserves, it is useless.

Gold reserves are just reserves, and it doesn’t mean anything if they don’t dig out. Only people can get in. There are many difficulties in mining in this place. There may be permafrost under the surface of the skin. For example, if it is dug out this year, shovel it away after melting, and then mine it a little next year, and then melt it a little more before you can see gold. The area of ​​this mine is very large, so large that it spans Kamchatka and Makatan Prefecture, occupying half of the northern part of Kamchatka and one-third of the eastern part of Makatan Prefecture. There are many volcanoes in the territory. There are many volcanoes like Mount Fuji, and the scenery is much more beautiful than Mount Fuji. However, there are too few people here. The entire Kamchatka Prefecture is only more than 300,000 people, and more than half of them live in the capital Petropavlovsk. The entire gold mine is actually located in the southern part of Chukochi, close to the Chukochi Autonomous Region.

Even Jiang Lang suspected that the two Donghai people who came here could not afford such a large investment. The gold digger with this economic strength in China could count it with a slap. However, Jiang Lang had never heard of these two people before, so he knew that they were either whose agents or they came over to try their luck.

As for the Japanese people mentioned before, they have already withdrawn and are too lazy to come again. The environment is too poor and the price is not suitable. Why do you come here to do it?

There are many gold (gold ore) in this ore, but no gold digger will choose this mine. There is indeed no need. Because the investment cycle is long and it is difficult, people who have visited this mine for more than ten years have given up. Even if they have some ideas, they cannot afford to invest due to price reasons. A small private group can make a lot of money by digging sand gold directly. The speed of mining sand gold is very fast, so why risk going here to invest?

Tens of billions of dollars are just the rights to buy gold mines. If you buy it, you still have to invest. That will be a huge expense and the risk is too great.

Such a large mining area is still built by the sea. At the port of the Lurenna River, which has descended from the snow-capped mountains, is the camp. Manilai Town, which can live in 700 people, now only three people are there. Jiang Lang has to sigh at the old man's persistence. I just don't lower the price. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy a gold mine, it's my own.
