Chapter 1365
The location of the Oujia jade mine is located in the mountain range in the north of the Jade Country. Although jade is produced in many countries around the world, the Jade Country accounts for 90% of the production.
And most of the jade mines in the Jade Country are in the Wulu River Basin in the north of the country, covering thousands of square kilometers.
Since Ye Xiao and Shangguan Qiuwei were both visiting the jade mine for the first time, they were both shocked by the spectacular scene outside the car window.
On the way to the Oujia mine, they saw countless mines that were tens to hundreds of meters deep. Some of them had accumulated water and formed ponds because they had been mined for too long.
Some were bare, with almost no stones to be seen.
Outside some mines that have been mined in recent years, there were dense crowds of Jade Country people carrying bamboo baskets or backpacks. These were local workers who made a living by screening ore for the mine owners.
Since the raw jade is squeezed by geological changes and washed by river water for many years, each raw stone is a separate individual like a pebble.
This requires manual screening of the raw jade stones, which is of course quite dangerous.
Because most of the mines in the Jade Country are open-air, some loose gravel dug and piled up by excavators may collapse at any time.
In addition, these workers hardly wear any safety equipment. Once such an accident occurs, the survival rate of the buried workers is extremely low.
Looking at the dark skin and scarred faces of the workers, Shangguan Qiuwei couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She secretly made up her mind that if the Shangguan family really reached a cooperation with Ou Baisheng, she must do a good job of safety protection in her own mine, otherwise she would feel guilty about making such money.
After driving for an hour and a half, they finally arrived at the mine developed by Ou Baisheng.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Guan, welcome!" After seeing the two, Ou Baisheng, wearing a safety helmet, immediately greeted them with a smile.
Because Shangguan Qiuwei's identity could not be exposed, Ye Xiao agreed with him in advance to call Shangguan Qiuwei by his surname Guan.
"Hello, Mr. Ou!" Shangguan Qiuwei squeezed out a professional smile.
Ye Xiao nodded gently, as if to greet Ou Baisheng.
At this time, the person in charge of the mine next to Ou Baisheng walked forward respectfully and handed each of them a safety helmet.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Guan, do you want to go around the mine with me? I will give you a detailed introduction." Ou Baisheng said with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ou." Shangguan Qiuwei agreed.
Although she believed in the cooperation between Ou Baisheng and her family, and because of Ye Xiao's existence, the other party would not do anything small, but since they had come to the Emerald Country, Shangguan Qiuwei still wanted to conduct a field inspection.
Ye Xiao had no objection to this. He had practiced identifying rough stones many times after Guiyan taught him the skills, but it was the first time for him to see the rough stones being mined.
Next, Ou Baisheng took the two of them and walked into the mining area of the mine.
This mine has not been officially mined yet. At this time, there are only a few excavators working on the excavated and leveled site, and they have only dug a few meters deep pit, which can just touch some rough stones on the surface.
As they walked, Ou Baisheng introduced the two people with a smile, "The raw stone storage capacity of this vein can reach tens of thousands of tons. If it is fully mined, the jade output will exceed all the veins I have."
"I plan to sign a 50-year contract with you, Miss Guan, so that our two families can develop this vein for a long time in the future..."
At this time, Shangguan Qiuwei interrupted Ou Baisheng, "Mr. Ou, how long do you own this vein? Have you obtained authorization from the government?"
Before coming, the Shangguan family also had a certain understanding of the mining in the Jade Country. All land in the Jade Country must be allowed by the Jade Country government before it can be used.
Although the Jade Country government does not have strong control over the north, it is still the legitimate government of the Jade Country after all.
If Ou Baisheng's ownership of this vein was only obtained through the warlord, then there may be variables in the future.
After all, no one can predict when a warlord will fall or be replaced by his subordinates, while the government in the south is much more stable.
Ou Baisheng naturally knew what Shangguan Qiuwei was worried about.
He just smiled calmly and said, "Miss Guan, you don't have to worry. My Ou family took over this mine as early as the last elected government., and the cooperation period I signed with the government at that time was one hundred years. "
"So even after I die, this mine will still belong to my Ou family, as long as the contract in my hand is still there."
Ou Baisheng was quite proud of this. He had seen that there must be a mine in this area decades ago.
So when other families in the Jade Country were still busy fighting for territory, supporting government members to fight for power, or doing white flour business, he took almost all the land here in one go.
Hearing Ou Baisheng's words, Shangguan Qiuwei felt relieved, and then she talked a lot with Ou Baisheng about the specific matters of the cooperation between the two families.
Ye Xiao, who was standing aside, was not so interested in these. He walked alone to the place where several excavators were. On the working site.
Although the mine was not dug deep, some oval raw stones of gray-brown, yellow, or light green could still be seen with the naked eye.
Ye Xiao's eyes swept straight over the raw stones. With his current spiritual power as a divine warrior, he could slightly feel that these raw stones contained a very mysterious aura to a certain extent.
If combined with the identification method he learned from the Ghost Eye, he could quickly determine what kind of jade was in these raw stones and how much was contained in them.
