Easy Tycoon

Chapter 682 The price is unbelievably low
In fact, Yang Jing didn't like this warm hospitality very much.But there is no way, to come to other people's land to do business, and even more so to pick jade from other people's bowed heads. If this matter is separated from the support of the local government, it will absolutely not be possible.

Hetian jade is also a kind of resource, and it is an extremely precious resource. Although in this era, neither the local government nor various jade lovers have begun to pay attention to the resource of Hetian jade, but you come to others to dig this precious one. For resources, you have to have a good relationship with the local government, this is the minimum condition.

Especially Cole Smith, a foreign philanthropist who can be said to be taken advantage of, is now well-known throughout Xinjiang.It hasn't been a week since they came to Xinjiang, and they threw down 3000 million US dollars!

Even 30 years later, 3000 million US dollars is not a small figure, let alone in this era, 3000 million US dollars is an unimaginable astronomical foreign exchange in an inland province like Xinjiang.

This rich foreign guest can donate 3000 million U.S. dollars in an irrelevant place, so he has to invest 2000 million U.S. dollars when he arrives at the destination, right?

This kind of rich man can't be negligent. If the foreign guests are unhappy, wouldn't the investment be wasted?
In this day and age, government departments are still not in favor of the "only DGP theory", and the primary task of government departments at all levels is to earn foreign exchange!
Before 1986, before the promulgation of the "Foreign-funded Enterprises Law", all the foreign capital introduced by Huaxia were joint ventures, and the domestic shares must occupy the majority of the joint ventures. Although this guaranteed the safety of state-owned funds, it led to overseas Funds have a lot of concerns about investing in Huaxia.After all, I have invested a large sum of money in real money, but I can't take a controlling stake. This matter is difficult for those foreign capitalists to accept.

This led to the fact that before 1986, there were not many foreign capitals entering China.

However, with the promulgation of the "Foreign-funded Enterprise Law", Huaxia also allows purely foreign-owned enterprises. In this way, many foreign capitals dare to enter Huaxia boldly. In the past two years, more and more foreign capitals have entered Huaxia.

But those foreign capitals are mostly concentrated in coastal provinces such as the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, and inland provinces like Xinjiang Province where resources have not been fully developed, not to mention foreign capital, even if there is not much domestic capital introduced.

Now suddenly a rich foreign tycoon who throws dollars in units of "tens of millions" suddenly comes, so why don't we make this guy happy?

This is tens of millions of dollars of foreign investment. Even if it is placed in the coastal provinces, it is definitely a large amount of foreign investment.

Therefore, under the warm hospitality of many leaders of the Hetian Land Committee and the Administrative Office, Yang Jing was really knocked out twice.

However, Yang Jing came to Hotan this time to throw money, so at the wine table, Yang Jing has promised to invest no less than 5000 million U.S. dollars in the Hotan area in the next few years to develop the local area. mineral resources.At the same time, we also purchase top-quality seed materials and mountain materials.

For Yang Jing's promise, not to mention Hetian senior officials and administrative commissioners, even the leaders of Xinjiang Province attached great importance to it, and repeatedly asked Hotan to do a good job in reception work, and must keep this investment in Hotan.

As for people saying they want to mine mineral resources, everyone knows what's going on. Isn't this foreigner here for Hetian jade?

If you want to mine, then mine it, but if you can't mine it, then you can't blame me.

Since ancient times, everyone has known that Hetian jade is a good thing, and its value is very high.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to surveys, the reserves of Hetian jade in Kunlun Mountains are also huge. It is roughly estimated that only in the [-]-kilometer-long mining area of ​​Kunlun Mountains, there are at least one million tons of jade resources.

One million tons is not a small number. You must know that the Tatlekesu Mine, one of the four major jade mines in Kunlun Mountains, has been mining jade for 30 years, but it has only mined more than 3000 tons of jade!

Moreover, this one million tons is only a rough estimate. How many undiscovered mines are there in the huge Kunlun Mountains?
Anyway, for the Hetian government in this era, Hetian jade is simply an inexhaustible mineral resource.But everyone knows that if you want to mine so much jade from the depths of the mountains, it is not something you can do just by talking about it. Even if you invest 5000 million US dollars, you can mine hundreds of thousands of tons of jade at most It's amazing.

Going into the mountains to pick jade is not something that can be done with money.

How difficult is it to pick jade in Kunlun Mountains?Those who have not experienced it themselves cannot imagine it.

There is such a record in the "Zhuye Pavilion Miscellaneous Notes" written by Yao Yuanzhi of the Qing Dynasty: "In the southwest of Yeerqiang, there is a mountain called Mierdai Mountain. Snow, if you want to pick a big tool, you have to ride a yak, hold a big nail on the rope, hang the rope with the nail, and then chisel the jade. And the pendant, tied with a giant rope, slowly descends, covering the steep mountain, fearing that the jade will suddenly fall Fall to the ground and crack."

From this Qing Dynasty poem describing the hardships of mining jade, we can see how difficult it is to mine jade!Although modern jade-picking tools have improved slightly, the advancement of jade-picking tools does not do much better for high mountains with high mountains and dangerous roads, thin air, harsh environments, and continuous snow-capped mountains.

Today's jade needs to be transported out of the mountains, still relying on donkeys to carry people on their backs.There is a jingle in the Hotan area, which describes the hardships of the jade pickers like Yao Yuanzhi's poem: "A small donkey, two feet long and short whip, three seasons are like cold winter, four seasons don't know spring and summer, five o'clock sleeps in the open in Kunlun, six desires and seven emotions Throw it all away, the beautiful jade is well-known in all directions, who will know if you are close to death."

On the rugged and steep Kunlun Mountains, manpower is the only tool for transporting jade.If there is a slight mistake and the large piece of jade is broken, the value of the jade will plummet, and the personal reputation of the jade picker will also plummet.The mining of Hetian jade has been very difficult since ancient times, and a lot of manpower and financial resources have been invested. The cost of mining jade over the past few thousand years alone has added up to 5000 million US dollars, but Hetian jade is still extremely rare. .

The locals in Hotan are very aware of this.

Therefore, the Hotan government readily agreed to Yang Jing's request.For these leaders, as long as they can keep this foreign capital in Hotan, they can do whatever they want.

As for whether you can successfully mine jade and how much jade you can mine, that has nothing to do with us.

Of course, the leader of Hetian also kindly advised Yang Jing not to spend so much effort to go into the mountains to collect jade. As for the top-quality jade that came down, as long as you can let go of it, then we can provide you with all kinds of top-quality materials.

In fact, the Hetian jade produced in the entire Xinjiang Province, and the best jade are all exported.

In the 80s and [-]s, in addition to the top-quality Dashanzi (large ornaments), Hetian jade for export also had a large number of top-quality seed materials and mountain materials, especially the large ones in the seed materials, which were "more popular"!
It is estimated that 30 years later, few people would have imagined that in the 80s and 30s, most of the seeds used for export to earn foreign exchange were "kilogram-level".This is "kilogram-level" seed material. After [-] years, a piece of "two-level" seed jade is the best that can be encountered but not sought after. But in this era, "kilogram-level" seed material cannot be said to be You can see them everywhere, but there are definitely a lot of them.

In this era, complete kilogram-level aniseed materials are the darlings of major jade carving factories. In this era of domestic market, the demand and value of seed materials have not really been discovered and returned, so these kilogram-level top-quality seed materials are accepted. After that, jade carving factories generally tend to carve seed jade Dashanzi and then mainly use it for export.

In this day and age, it can only be said that people are too capricious—the seed material should be small, no; a little incomplete, no; slightly greenish, no. At this time, the requirements for the seed material are "extremely harsh".It is conceivable that in this era, how many top-quality seeds are there in the entire Hotan area!
But again, because of the pursuit of export earnings, a lot of seed materials were wasted in this era, including many large fine rough stones.

Yang Jing also knew these things.Many materials of later generations have mentioned the "stupid things" that those jade carving factories did in this era.After 30 years, this kind of pick-and-choose and non-essential practice will be a typical "reckless thing", which will make jade lovers point their noses and scold "scrap things".

Therefore, when Commissioner Zhu Changhe Zhu suggested that Yang Jing buy finished jade carvings or top-quality seed materials from major jade carving factories in Hetian, Yang Jing readily agreed, but he still had a small condition.

"Commissioner Zhu, I can accept some of the finished jade carvings, but the quantity will not be large. I want all the seed materials, mountain materials, mountain streams, or Gobi materials in stock in major jade carving factories. If you ask for a price, I will collect it in US dollars. , the price follows the market, how about it?"

In this era, because the true value of Hetian jade has not been developed, the price of Hetian jade is unbelievably low.In the Hetian area of ​​later generations, there is a saying that can explain the low price of Hetian jade in this era - 30 years ago, Hetian jade was sold on the basis of car wagons, but now, Hetian jade is sold on the basis of grams!
This is why the difference in the price of Hetian jade caused by 30 years will be so large.

In this era, the price of Hetian jade is really low.Of course, the kind of big mountain that has been carved is another matter, but the price is far lower than that of later generations.As for the rough stones of this era, the price is really not much higher than that of stones
That's why Yang Jing made such a request to Commissioner Zhu.Of course the top-quality ornaments have to be collected. It is extremely rare to see this kind of big mountain in later generations. If you take out one casually, it can be called a national treasure.

Of course, what Yang Jing wants more is those rough stones and seed materials. Even the rough stones and seed materials that are wasted by those jade carving factories will be invaluable 30 years later.

"It's absolutely possible! Mr. Smith, if you have any needs, just ask, we will do our best to meet your needs!" For Commissioner Zhu, whether it is mining jade in the mountains, buying finished jade carvings or raw stones from mountains Heseed materials are all foreign exchange earners!As long as you can leave your dollars in Hotan, you can say anything!
Commissioner Zhu's words are not nonsense.Earn foreign exchange first!Earn foreign exchange first!Earn foreign exchange first!Important things are said three times, which is still common in this era.

For Commissioner Zhu, if he can transform the mountains of Hetian jade into green Franklin, that is the most important thing!
