Chapter 1030 – Gold Reserve

“I say you kid, you don’t move and play disappearing, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was thinking about the piece of yellow jadeite carved by the old master, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to find you yet, right?”

Hu Rong paused on the phone, lowered his voice and said, “I’ll go to your place tomorrow, meet me to talk about the gold mine.”

Mining resources in Burma was a representation of the strength of the power, although he was sure that his phone was not tapped, but for the sake of insurance, Hu Rong still decided to personally travel to China.

“Alright! Brother Hu, I’m staying temporarily at Elder Gu’s house, so you can just come over here directly.”

Zhuang Rui can hear from Hu Rong’s tone that this gold mine should not be a small reserve, Zhuang Rui’s heart is also a little curious about how much gold that gold mine actually contains?

Hu Rong heard Zhuang Rui words is even more strange, asked: “How do you run the old man there to live? Even if the old man is not well, that also has a son to take care of, when is your turn ah?”

“Go …… go, the old master’s body is great, I have other things over to live.”

Zhuang Rui thought of his own home can not return to the status quo, the heart is fire, and Hu Rong gossiped a few sentences, hung up the phone.

“Older brother, how long have we not seen each other, you made such a big news?”

Hu Rong people just crossed into the courtyard, the voice yells open, holding a newspaper, apparently read the report about the “Beijing human skull” fossil.

“All right, Hu, you spare me! I don’t see me hiding from the old man here?”

Zhuang Rui now heard this thing on the head, a pull Hu Rong, said: “Do not go to the house to disturb the old man, we will sit in the courtyard to talk.”

Gu Yun’s company had something to do and went out early in the morning, the whole courtyard except for the ancient who was in the studio to cut jade, Zhuang Rui was left alone, it was very quiet.

“Talk about it! Brother Hu, just how much gold reserves does that gold mine contain?”

After Zhuang Rui poured a cup of tea for Hu Rong, he asked openly, although he was able to survey the gold mine, he was at his wits’ end with the yet to be processed ores, unable to determine their content.

Hu Rong smiled at his words, raised the newspaper in his hand and said: “Older brother, what is written in this newspaper is also correct! You are just a fiery eye.”

“Hold it, hold it, let’s talk about something, don’t get into the newspaper.”

Zhuang Rui did not wait for Hu Rong to finish his sentence, he interrupted him off, one is not like to hear this, the second Zhuang Rui classmates he was weak ah! Eye of fire to not, but the golden eye is right, Zhuang Rui is long a pair of golden pupils!

“Okay, let’s get down to business.”

Hu Rong put down the newspaper, lowered his voice and said: “This month’s time, mainly used for the gold mine survey and refining gold mining equipment placement, old brother, you know that gold mine, how much gold content?”

Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes, said in a bad mood: “Nonsense, I know and ask you ah? Older brother, don’t be appetizing, just say it.”

Hu Rong smiled triumphantly and said, “Hey, after a preliminary survey, the gold content within those ores is extremely high, it is a rare rich mine, it is estimated that every ten tons of ore can be refined out of 1 ounce of gold, old brother, we are rich!”

“What? Ten tons of ore can only refine an ounce of gold? Brother Hu, this is also considered a rich mine?”

Zhuang Rui knows that ounce is the international unit of measurement for precious metals such as gold and silver, roughly one ounce is equal to 31 grams of weight or so.

Hearing Hu Rong say that ten tons of ore, that is, 10,000 kilograms, 10 million grams in order to have 31 grams of production, this in Zhuang Rui’s heart, really can not be equated.

“Ahem, are you …… still too little?”

Hu Rong is drinking water, was Zhuang Rui words choked and coughed up, after a long time before pointing at Zhuang Rui said, “Do you know, in those places in Africa, need 250 tons or more weight of ore, in order to refine an ounce of gold, you still think less?”

“The ratio of gold output from ore is so low?”

Zhuang Rui really do not know this knowledge, according to his idea, a ton of ore how can also be refined out of ten grams of gold, right? But did not expect the amount of gold to be far more rare than he thought.

“Older brother, you will be satisfied! This gold mine is already enough for us to eat for several lifetimes.”

Hu Rong was almost shocked when he surveyed the proportion of gold contained within the ore, he was a doctor of geology, he knew the gold content like the back of his hand, of course he wouldn’t be as ignorant as Zhuang Rui.

Although this gold mine is not very big, but it is an open pit gold mine, it is very easy to mine, the most important thing is that after a careful survey, Hu Rong came to the conclusion that this gold mine can at least produce more than 80 tons of high purity gold.

You know, these years the price of gold soared, from more than one hundred dollars a gram in 03 to more than three hundred dollars a gram now in 08, resulting in a lot of forces in the world flocked to Africa to mine gold.

And 80 tons of gold, that can be more than 20 billion yuan, such a large number, enough to let a lot of people crazy up, this gold mine if the outsiders know, I’m afraid that even with Hu Rong’s power in Burma, but also to be divided into a cup of soup.

Zhuang Rui originally did not have an intuitive understanding of this gold mine, but after hearing Hu Rong’s explanation, he was also staggered, it is estimated that after this gold mine is finished, the valley will no longer exist.

“By the way, Hu, this mining gold mine, that jadeite mine certainly can’t be sold, what are you going to do?”

Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered another deal, that emerald mine, if it can be sold for 1.2 billion pounds, with his shares, he can also get billions of RMB’s, which is not a small amount of money.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, recently the Myanmar Ministry of Mines issued a new regulation, all foreign companies investing in Myanmar must obtain the appropriate qualifications from the Myanmar government before they can do so. That British company is trying to get the qualification, and I promise that they will no longer mine jade, but the earliest they can trade is half a year from now, and that’s enough time to empty that gold mine.”

Hu Rong felt that after he met Zhuang Rui, his luck had become exceptionally good as well, and the regulations issued by the Burmese government were almost as if they were tailor-made for him.

“That’s good, but Brother Hu, will this mining and refining time be a little too tight? I’ve heard that refining gold with mercury is very damaging to one’s body.”

Zhuang Rui also went home and looked up some information related to gold refining, during the refining process, the mercury would volatilize in gas and liquid form, and the toxicity was quite high.

Although this gold mine will become his biggest industry, Zhuang Rui doesn’t want to trade the lives of his workers for it.

“Don’t worry old brother, this time the gold mine’s and refinery’s workers, are all sons and daughters of the family, I will definitely do a good job with the relevant measures.”

Seeing that Zhuang Rui could think of this, Hu Rong was very happy, he had long ago ordered a lot of protective masks and dust-proof clothing from the black market channels, just to prevent the hazards created when refining gold.

“Right, this thing is for you.”

Hu Rong suddenly remembered something and took out a stack of documents from his handy bag and handed it to Zhuang Rui.

“This is …… the documents for that overseas island?”

Zhuang Rui flipped through them, the English language didn’t pose any difficulty to him, and after a few cursory glances he knew what these documents were.

“Yes, sign your name at the end and this document will come into effect, I let Xiao Si already go to that island, you don’t have to worry about the construction of the island.”

Zhuang Rui gave him hundreds of millions of drug dealer’s old money for nothing, and then discovered a gold mine, of course Hu Rong had to show something, otherwise he felt overly sorry in his own heart.

“Ok, Brother Hu, thank you, about this island, just don’t let anyone know.”

Zhuang Rui didn’t excuse himself, and carefully received this document into his bag, there is no long flourishing family in this world, Ouyang family entered into prosperity, it may not be the same in the future, Zhuang Rui is preparing a back road for himself.

“Let’s brother and sister don’t say anything like thank you or not, I’m going to stay in Beijing for a few days this time, old brother you see, can you help me make an appointment with your great uncle?”

Hu Rong came this time, besides discussing with Zhuang Rui about the gold mine, it’s about the Chinese city, it’s too big, it’s estimated that the general ministry doesn’t have the energy to make it happen, so he wants to meet the one of the Ouyang family who’s located in the center of the country.

“I can think of a way to do this, but Brother Hu, there has to be a name, right?”

Zhuang Rui frowned at his words, although he was considered a close relative, but the number of times he had seen his great-uncle were only a handful of times, and a hasty appointment would definitely make his great-uncle blame himself for being unintelligent.

After Hu Rong heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he smiled and said, “Patriotic businessmen return to invest in their country, the first phase of investment reaches 1 billion dollars, and the total investment reaches 3 billion dollars, is it enough for that person to receive?”

For the future of Myanmar Chinese City, Hu Rong has invested a lot of money, not only all of the family’s funds have been invested, even the gold mine that has not yet yielded any profit has been counted.

“Showing off huh?”

Zhuang Rui sniffed and said, “Your little money to let a provincial party secretary receive is more or less the same, want to see my great uncle, that’s still worse, but you’d better come up with a few hundred million dollars to do charity, so the effect will be better.”

More than twenty billion RMB investment, although it is not small, but want to let Ouyang that level of national leaders to receive, it is indeed a little bit worse, Zhuang Rui’s meaning is to let Hu Rongda to do charity, and then find someone to hype it up, and raise this matter to a high level.

“OK, just do as you say.”

Hu Rong thought about it for a while, investment is about returns, and the country is at best a cooperative relationship.

But doing charity is different, just like those super rich people in Hong Kong Island, which one of them didn’t throw billions and billions of US dollars into the country to establish a relationship with certain high level people?

“Well, I heard the yard chattering, dare I say it’s Little Hu coming?”

Just as Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong were discussing some details, Elder Gu walked out, the object he was holding in his hand immediately drew Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong’s attention.
