Chapter 0269 – Jade Vein
“Jade Vein?”
Zhuang Rui somewhat couldn’t believe his eyes. Going forward and walking a few steps closely, almost putting his face to the rock wall, he fully urged the aura in his eyes to look towards the rock wall, and immediately, a large amount of aura swarmed in from within the rock wall.
The rock wall was peeled away layer by layer by the aura, and the situation within the depth of ten meters appeared completely in front of Zhuang Rui’s eyes, and the jade that was wrapped in the granite translucent mountain rock formed by the magma was clearly reflected in Zhuang Rui’s eyes.
In this ten-meter-deep place, as big as a millstone jade there are five, its weight should be in a meal more than, and through the observation of this tremolite rock, Zhuang Rui can conclude that this rock is extended inward, that is to say, this is indeed a jade vein.
The Kunlun Mountains have jade veins, this is thousands of years ago has been confirmed, in the Kunlun Mountains near Hotan, large and small there are hundreds of jade mines, these mines, are jade veins are located.
But to say the law of the distribution of jade veins. That even if it is the jade king, also dare not assert, he can only through the field survey, and according to the surrounding out of the situation of jade, roughly make a judgment.
Jade veins in the Kunlun Mountains, there is no law to follow, some deep into the mountain rocks within hundreds of meters, some but floating on the ground, digging down to three or five meters can see, which gave birth to a number of jade mining rich man, like the wild ox ditch in that mine, is in the middle of the mountainside in a not deep in the rock wall, was that the Zhejiang people inadvertently found.
And Zhuang Rui now see this rock wall, is also where the jade vein, and location is better, very easy to mine, like those in the mountains of the jade vein, because to carry machinery on the mountain is very troublesome to mine up the difficulty is also big, every year there are a lot of jade mining miners lost their lives in the mine.
Zhuang Rui can only see the situation within ten meters of the rock wall, but in this ten meters, the content of jade is five or six tons, from this point of view, this jade vein should be a large mine, a conservative estimate, should also be in the more than a hundred tons.
From the quality of the jade that can be seen, it is a greenish white jade that is slightly inferior to white jade. It is also the mainstay of the nephrite jewelry market, and in recent years, carved ornaments of green and white nephrite have become very popular, with many people purchasing them to collect at home.
To know, now the price of nephrite, is also rising, although not as outrageous as jade, but the total sales of large, definitely occupies the position of the leading position in the jade market, a hundred tons of jade ore, that means billions of dollars, this temptation for Zhuang Rui, it is also very difficult to resist.
“What to do?”
Zhuang Rui’s heart is a little terrified, the previous excitement of discovering the jade vein, has gradually receded, began to be a little at a loss for words, let him give up this jade vein, Zhuang Rui is absolutely unwilling, in the Kunlun jade mining wave after wave, sooner or later, this jade vein will be discovered by someone else, they do not mine. It’s also cheap for others.
But with Zhuang Rui’s current situation, to independently mine this jade mine, the difficulty is also very big.
Financially speaking, it is not a problem, the key is that he does not have any contacts in Xinjiang, once the news of this jade mine is leaked out, there will be a lot of forces to intervene, and then I am afraid that what will be brought to Zhuang Rui is not money, but disaster.
“Jade Prince!”
This name floated in Zhuang Rui’s mind, in fact, early Zhuang Rui thought of him, but to equalize the score with people to billions of dollars to decide, is not so easy to get down to Zhuang Rui is considered more serene character, are entangled in half a day, only under the decision to cooperate with the Jade Prince.
Zhuang Rui is also considered wise, know that there is money to earn, no life to spend the truth, if he is allowed to mine independently, I’m afraid that these large and small forces in Xinjiang, he can not cope with, but with the cooperation of the Jade Prince, these things do not matter, the Jade Prince himself is the largest force in the jade world in Xinjiang.
Zhuang Rui squatted to the side of the river, with the cool stream water rinsed a hand face, shook his head hard, reluctantly glanced at the rock wall, returned to the campfire back, now he has to consider, is to what way to cooperate with the Jade Prince, and also to find an excuse to find their own Jade Vein.
The way of cooperation is good to talk about, since Zhuang Rui has already made the decision to share half of the benefits. I think the Jade Prince will also return the favor, at that time, we each put out half of the funds, mining out the interests of the jade, also each accounted for half on the line, just this excuse is not good to find, can not directly say that he can see through the rock wall, found the jade vein it?
“Brother Zhuang, where have you been? We were just about to go find you!”
A voice interrupted Zhuang Rui’s thoughts, raised his head Zhuang Rui realized that the original jade picking went Zhang Dazhi several people, have come back, and then look at the time on the watch, Zhuang Rui was shocked, he unknowingly actually stayed there for nearly two hours.
“It’s okay, I couldn’t sleep, so I went upstream for a bit, how are you guys harvesting?”
Zhuang Rui sidetracked the topic, this jade vein mine, Zhuang Rui will certainly not tell these people in front of him, with their ability, there is no guarantee that this jade vein can belong to them, but will instead leak out the news, then again. We all ganged up into the mountain to pick jade, not to find the mine, Zhuang Rui did not say, it is not excusable.
“Hey, Brother Zhuang, your method is really good, we also picked up some jade, although the quality is not good, but we can still sell it for some money.”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Zhang Dazhi and the others all got excited and put down the basket basket in front of them. Pouring out the jade inside, the three of them picked more than twenty pieces of large and small, some of them were still bare jade, showing a warm luster under the reflection of the bonfire.
Zhuang Rui looked over, the heart can not help but laugh bitterly, this more than twenty pieces of jade, at least a dozen are not picked up on his previous look, I did not think that actually still be a few people picked up back, but also to the effort to back out of the mountain.
Just Zhuang Rui also do not think about, this more than ten pieces of jade although the quality of general, but also can sell a ten thousand dollars, for Zhang Dazhi and other people, that is usually a year’s income ah!
“Ah! Brother Tie Zi, you guys picked up so much jade again? No, tomorrow I’m going to pick up jade again.”
Zhang Dazhi’s voice woke up Mangzi who was sleeping soundly, rubbing his dazed eyes, Mangzi saw the pile of jade on the ground at a glance, his eyes immediately widened, he was not aware that the value of this pile of jade was not even worth as much as a small piece of the piece of jade he had picked up from the river.
“Mangzi, just keep an eye on these jades tomorrow, this is a very important mission! If we lose it or someone else snatches it, we’ve come for nothing!”
Zhang Dazhi said half-heartedly to Mangzi, the value of these jades was already above a million dollars, without a tall guy like Mangzi to guard them, he really wasn’t very assured.
“Don’t worry! Brother Zhang, with me, Fierce Son, no one can snatch our jade.” After hearing Zhang Dazhi’s words, Mangzi hammered his chest to the heavens.
“Brother Zhuang, are you sleepy? If not, let’s categorize the jade!”
Looking at the colorful jades at the place, even Mangzi was now sleepless. They all gathered around the pile of jade.
“Right, Brother Tie Zi, take a look at this piece of jade, why is the color so fancy?”
Zhuang Rui remembered the piece of jade that was of good quality but had a somewhat strange color, and squatted down to pick that piece of jade out and handed it to Tie Zi.
“The color skin of this piece of jade is not bad, the quality of the jade shouldn’t be too bad, but the color is a bit too mixed, it’s hard to match it when carving, if it can be matched well, it’s a fine product, otherwise, it’ll be ruined.”
Tie Zi is worthy of being a person who has been playing jade for more than ten years, a glance can see the advantages and disadvantages of this piece of jade, people who play jade in Xinjiang, the most important thing is first of all sheep’s fat white jade, followed by white jade, and then it is the very best ink jade or high-quality monochromatic jade, for Zhuang Rui’s this piece of jade that has multiple colors, it doesn’t care too much about it.
“Like this, huh? Brother Tie Zi, Da Zhi, Wang Fei, do you guys think this is okay, I like this piece of jade very much, take it back and find someone to carve it, but let’s say that we agreed that we would all share the jade that we have harvested, I’ll take this piece of jade, and the rest of the ones that are left, you guys will share it! My share is considered everyone’s.”
Zhuang Rui pondered for a moment, said the above words, in fact, in his heart, or that he took advantage of a few people, after all, this piece of jade is the color of the skin is not unraveled, Tie Zi does not know, this piece of jade jade flesh, than Mang Zi picked up that piece of white jade quality, but also on some high.
A lot of people for the understanding of nephrite, will think that the sheep fat white jade is the best, in fact, not, some of the best ink jade and jasper, the price and sheep fat white jade is almost the same, and the rarest of the best topaz, due to the topaz for the “emperor” of the harmonic, its value can be tens of times higher than the sheep fat jade.
However, even if Tie Zi knows that this piece of jade is of good quality, they won’t care much about it, their deep-rooted notion is that white jade is the best, and it’s hard to get rid of this mixed-color jade.
“No, Brother Zhuang, you keep that piece of jade, but the portion money must also be paid!”
“That’s right, Dazhi is right, Brother Zhuang, since you like this piece of jade, just keep it, it doesn’t need to be counted in the jade we harvested together, but you still have to take your share, or else there’s no way we can go back to the Jade King, and we will also be scolded by people pointing at our spines.”
For the words of Tie Zi and Zhang Dazhi, Wang Fei and Mang Zi are nodding their heads on the side, just based on the jade on the ground now, if we talk about the contribution, Mang Zi is definitely in the first place, his piece of jade is worth millions of dollars, followed by Zhuang Rui, those ten or so pieces of jade, it can be worth five to six hundred thousand dollars.
As for Tie Zi, the jade they picked, its value is only a few tens of thousands of dollars, if just because Zhuang Rui took a piece of jade that is not important, and do not give him a share of the money, then go back, will certainly be despised by other people, I guess there will be no one else to partner with them in the future to pick jade.
