Chapter 82 Hetian Jade
Chapter 82 Hetian Jade
Hetian jade mines are distributed in the Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, but Qin Muzhi's mines are located in northern Xinjiang.Du Ziyu was sitting on the back seat of the jeep, and outside the window was a rich and fertile meadow, and at the end of the greenery stood a distant snow-covered mountain. The driver brother said that they were crossing the Ili River Valley. This place is Jiangnan in northern Xinjiang.
"Whetian jade can be produced in Yili?" Du Ziyu was a little puzzled, but seeing Qin Muzhi's presence, he felt at ease with an "old Jianghu" like him.Therefore, when Qin Muzhi said "When you get to that place, you will know it when you look at it." Du Ziyu wisely didn't ask any more questions and concentrated on enjoying the scenery.
When it was getting late, the jeep drove into the village, and they settled in a herdsman's house. The owner was Qin Muzhi's old friend, a Kazak named Amir, who was the village cadre of this small village.Amir's family is very hospitable and specially arranged a table of good dishes.Entertaining them, the hospitality was unfathomable, Du Ziyu was poured several bowls of kumiss, his face flushed, but Qin Mu looked like a "Lianjiazi" on the wine table, with non-stop wine bowls, he could Chatting and laughing with the herdsmen.
"The mine is very close to here. It takes only half an hour to drive. We will go there early tomorrow morning." Qin Muzhi patted Du Ziyu on the shoulder: "When the time comes, I will introduce a few of our old masters so that you can get to know each other."
Du Ziyu was drinking, slightly drunk, but very clear-headed. He glanced at Qin Muzhi with his drunken eyes, not forgetting the business: "Compared with this, I want to get to know Mr. Shan first from your mouth."
Qin Muzhi shook his head with a smile, replaced the kumiss in front of Du Ziyu with milk tea, and then said: "The Qin family went to Southeast Asia for business, and Mr. Shan has to pay some 'protection fees'. In the past six months, Mr. Shan I took a fancy to the 'Golden Necklace', and in order to obtain this treasure, I spent a lot of thought... At first, I just thought that Mr. Shan was going to stock up on a batch of 'treasures' so that he could retire, because now he has He is a thorn in the side of the Burmese government, many knives are on his neck, his era is about to pass, and the coffin must always be saved in advance.”
As Qin Muzhi spoke, his gaze at Du Ziyu became sharper. He took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "Looking at it now, even if Lian Po is old, Mr. Shan's appetite is really not small at all!"
For a large enterprise like Qinchuan Group with assets worth over [-] million yuan, both black and white can take everything.Mr. Shan is a hero in the Golden Triangle area. Du Ziyu doesn't know whether the Qin family has a share here, but at least the interests of Qin and Dan's two surnames will not be as light as Qin Mu's one sentence.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Qin Muzhi is now threatening to restrain Mr. Shan, that's enough.
"Mr. Du, since we've talked about this, let's talk about it. We have nothing to see each other." Qin Muzhi didn't wait for Du Ziyu to speak, and he spoke first, as if he was too lazy to go around: "I don't know you What's wrong with Mr. Shan? If you told me about Mr. Shan's falsification and theft of national treasures, if you just wanted to use the strength of the Qin family to contain Mr. Shan, you have succeeded. But if you want to kill Mr. Shan just now, then I'm sorry, the Qin family can't do it, and they don't want to get this result."
"Mr. Shan and I don't have such a big festival. We have to fight to the death." Du Ziyu laughed at himself, "I just beg to let you go." He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Muzhi, and Qin Muzhi knew it What is he referring to.
"Want to hear my opinion?" Qin Muzhi still had that peaceful tone, as if discussing Mr. Shan, he was talking about the neighbor's old man. When Du Ziyu nodded in agreement, Qin Muzhi helped him analyze: "Mr. Shan, He is not someone who loves talents, you, Shen Shi, and even me are just tools in his eyes." Qin Muzhi said, turning his palms over and looking at his palms, as if there were some weapons there.
"Everyone wants a sharp sword, but if you're going to kill people right now, and you can't find a sword, it doesn't matter if you use a dagger. Mr. Shan is an extremist who pays attention to efficiency. If he says he likes your eyesight and talent, If you reject him once, he will never ask a second time. If he pesters you again and again, there are only two words that drive him—benefits. More precisely, great interests.” After Qin Muzhi finished speaking, he looked at Du Ziyu quietly. The latter's expression became much more understanding because of the alcohol, and he was probably wondering—how does his surname Qin know so much?What is his surname Qin plotting?
In this regard, Qin Muzhi chose to laugh it off, not to say more, not to explain.
Du Ziyu looked at Qin Muzhi drunkenly, narrowing his eyes again and again, the man's smile was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.Qin Muzhi's admonition went back and forth in his mind, leaving aside Qin Muzhi's intentions and not guessing, just analyzing his words, there are still seven or eight parts of the truth.Mr. Shan's purpose may not be on Du Ziyu, but on Shen Shi and "a certain secret" who ran away with the dead Burmese.
Blinking his eyes, Du Ziyu stared at Qin Muzhi closely. It was difficult to tell whether this person was good or evil. He opened his mouth and couldn't help hiccupping: "If you get back the Xie family that he dropped from Mr. Shan, Dowry, will you... give it to the country?"
Qin Muzhi was taken aback by this thoughtless question, and after a long time, he laughed: "Mr. Du, you are really a humorous person."
-
As Qin Muzhi said, the Hetian Jade Mine is half an hour's drive west of the village. This place is a barren mountain. When driving all the way, Qin Muzhi accidentally mentioned: "The mining rights of this barren mountain are thanks to you and you. That kid's help."
"Panjiayuan?" Du Ziyu knew it all. Thinking about the person walking in official steps that time, he guessed at random, "Is that friend of yours from the Planning Bureau? Or from the Land Bureau?"
"Anyway, it's the person in charge." Qin Muzhi smiled and pointed to the hill ahead: "Mr. Du, we're here."
Du Ziyu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a piece of dirt hill similar to the Myanmar mining area. As the car drove in, there were ethnic minority absenteeism carrying shovels, excavators, and temporary tents everywhere.When they got out of the car, a foreman brought them hard hats.
"Let's go to the mine first?" Qin Muzhi put on his hard hat and asked the foreman to lead the way. They walked to the entrance of the mine.Du Ziyu looked inside for a while, and it was dark, as if he had dug very deep.
The foreman led them in, and soon saw a "small mine car" made of steel bars. The top was connected to the track above the mine by pulleys. People sat at the bottom of the mine car and carried the mine car with gravity. Slowly slide down the depths of the mine.After the foreman explained the essentials, he slid down first, Qin Muzhi was second, Du Ziyu followed behind Qin Mu, and Shen Shi stepped up.
Accompanied by the sound of slide rails echoing in the mine, it took them only tens of seconds to reach a platform, and then the mine became narrow, and the car could not enter, and only one person could bend forward.The foreman chose a relatively spacious mine and led them to walk in with difficulty. The violent dust made the already thin oxygen more difficult to absorb. Du Ziyu followed the miner's lamp above his head to observe the rock wall in the cave, but found no signs of mountain materials. , at this time, he heard the sound of clanging, and there were workers digging the rock wall indistinctly in front of him.
"There are very few good jades, and you can't find a few pieces in one day!" The foreman spoke with a Uighur accent, bent down and pulled out some decent pebbles from a pile of stones, and showed them to Qin Muzhi. Qin Muzhi took a look, Pass it to Du Ziyu again.
This pebble was only half the size of a palm, and Du Ziyu could see the white jade flesh inside at a glance. It was delicate but delicate, but it was very white, without the greasy feeling of Hetian jade.
This doesn't look like Hetian jade...
Suspecting this in his heart, Du Ziyu didn't say it out loud, for fear of dispelling the enthusiasm of these jade pickers, he looked at Shen Shi, but this kid's mind was not on the jade in his hand, he was looking around, his nose twitching Smoked, it seems to have found something.
"Shen Shi?" Du Ziyu asked strangely, and Shen Shi whispered in his ear: "I think it smells like emerald."
"Are you sure?" Du Ziyu looked at Shen Shi in disbelief, and the latter pointed behind him: "I'll go over there and have a look." After that, he turned and walked back, Du Ziyu had no choice but to follow closely.Shen Shi returned to the platform just now, hesitated for a while, and walked towards another mine. This mine was even narrower, and people needed to crawl to get in. Shen Shi got in quickly with his hands and feet. Hesitating, Qin Muzhi and the foreman just came out at this time, the foreman pointed to the mine that Shen Shi went into and said: "The soil in this mine is loose. When digging, it has been collapsing. The digging is not deep, and there is no jade."
While speaking, Shen Shi also retreated, and one sentence confirmed the foreman's statement: "The inside collapsed and blocked the road."
"The air here is not good. If you have something to say, go up." Qin Muzhi took a few more pieces of jade in his hand, and urged everyone to return. After all, the mine is still dangerous. He didn't ask Du Ziyu to really mine, but to help He only looks at jade.
After returning to the ground again, Qin Muzhi waved his hands to let the foreman go to work, and then asked Du Ziyu: "Just now in the mine, did Mr. Du have something to say?"
Du Ziyu nodded, and had to check the stone in Qin Muzhi's hand before he frowned and came to a conclusion: "Generally speaking, Hetian jade is produced in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, in the Kunlun Mountains of southern Xinjiang. You said that the mine is in northern Xinjiang, and you feel that something is wrong, but now that you see the stone, you are more sure." After speaking, Du Ziyu sighed: "Boss Qin, you have drilled a hole, this is not Hetian jade, it is more like jade. Russian jade... the price is dozens of times lower!"
After saying these words, Du Ziyu looked at Qin Muzhi suspiciously. He didn't react to his conclusion, or rather, his reaction was extremely strange—it was neither surprised nor questioned, but he just nodded in agreement, as if he had already understood What I dug by myself was not Hetian jade.Then why did you go to all the trouble to buy the mining rights of this earth mountain?
Just wondering, what Shen Shi said in the mine just now flashed through his mind: Does it smell like emerald?
But within the territory of China, there are no conditions for the formation of emeralds!
"Boss Qin, you said this is the border? Where does it border?" Du Ziyu asked suddenly.
"Crossing this mountain, you will be in Kazakhstan." Qin Muzhi laughed: "Mr. Du, I am sure I saw your good eyesight correctly."
