NOVEL WEB Chapter 235 Ruby Mine
Yanrong never lacks buyers for the mined minerals. Luo Yunhang doesn't have to worry about how to sell them and to whom.
After all, it is impossible for him to stay in Myanmar for a long time. Yan Rong alone has the final say over these mines. Originally, these mines belonged to Yan Rong in name.
He and Miao Cuihua just had to wait for the penny every year.
These mines are enough for him to dig for decades.
Luo Yunhang's trip here is equivalent to solving his livelihood for the next few decades and finding the best supplier for Miao Cuihua's Biyun Pavilion. He no longer has to be controlled by Yundian's supplier in the future.
Although Yan Rong is cunning, he can be regarded as a gentleman. Even if he wants to engage in small tricks, he will not show it openly, so their dividends must be no problem.
Moreover, Yan Rong is also a smart man. If he wants to do business for a long time, he must be honest. This is why he has been able to stand up for so many years.
Luo Yunhang was about to say goodbye to Yan Rong. He had been out for nearly half a month and was about to return to China.
"Damn it!" There was a bang.
Something seemed to have broken in the study.
The voice sounded like Yan Rong's.
Luo Yunhang was preparing to leave first and come back after Yan Rong calmed down.
Unexpectedly, the servant who brought him here had already knocked on the door.
When Yan Rong opened the door, he had already put on a calm face.
But only he knows the specific situation.
"You came just in time. I have something to ask you for help." Yan Rong looked serious.
Luo Yunhang naturally nodded in agreement. With Yanrong's temper, it was not easy to ask for help. He must have encountered some difficulty. Since he spoke, Luo Yunhang must be able to do it.
This was Luo Yunhang's first time entering Yan Rong's study, but he had no intention of observing too much.
Because Yan Rong's expression showed that things were not simple.
"The group that attacked Ninai Wen before has been found!" Yan Rong sat down and spoke.
"Oh? Who is it? How can I help?" Luo Yunhang asked curiously.
"He's from Kunshan. He lost the ruby mine dispute with me before, so he wanted to use Ninai Win to take revenge.
I really want to thank you. If you hadn't saved Ninai Wen and fell into his hands, Ninai Wen and I would have been ruined. " Yan Rong sighed with lingering fear.
Myanmar is the home of rubies. There is still a touching story about rubies.
In ancient times, the country of Burma, also known as the Golden Land, lived with a beautiful dragon princess. Prince Sun was deeply attracted to her and came down to earth to marry the princess.
Later, the prince was recalled, and soon after, the princess gave birth to a dragon egg. The prince was so happy that he sent an envoy to visit her with his "flame stone".
The messenger lost his token because of showing off. The princess left sadly, and the dragon egg broke into pieces and turned into ruby.
Although this legend is sad and beautiful, people still regard rubies as auspicious things. They believe that wearing rubies can make people smart, live longer, and have happy love.
Therefore, rubies are sought after and valuable, and many businessmen come here because of their reputation.
Myanmar's ruby production areas are mainly distributed in the central and northern parts of the country, located in the Mogok region, which is a famous treasure land.
In addition to Mogok, rubies are also produced in Sakyong City in the north of Mandalay, but the color is not as bright as Mogok gemstones.
There are also ruby mines in the Gamai town area south of Mandalay.
There is also a true story circulating about rubies.
It is said that before the development of a ruby mining area, there was a village called Manshailiang under the mine. People could often see beautiful and transparent red sand in the river sand next to the village.
Once, a salesman went to the village to do business. He was very popular with girls. When he was leaving, a girl filled a bottle full of beautiful red sand that she usually picked up by the river and gave it to him.
The salesman was hot and tired after walking. He felt that the bottle of red stones was of no use, so he threw it away to lighten the burden.
Later, the mining area was developed, and when the salesman came back, he suddenly realized that what he had thrown away was a bottle of "ruby".
I immediately regretted my mistake.
Luo Yunhang was a little surprised. It turned out that Yan Rong also ran a ruby mine?
Ruby mines are more valuable than jade mines.
That is to say, this era was more chaotic. In later generations, rare mineral veins like this will be completely controlled by the government and the military, and there will be no private competition.
Of course, in this era, the price of rubies is not as high as that of later generations, and they are not yet so sought after.
"What do you need my help for?" Luo Yunhang asked straight to the point.
"I know you have some tricks to see the jade mines, but I wonder if you can see the ruby mines?" Yan Rong considered.
Of course, to put it bluntly, he only relies on his eyes to see. As long as he can see, there is no way to hide any mine in front of him.
But he still hesitated for a few moments and said, "Maybe?"
"I learned that Kunshan is about to trade ruby mines with a mine owner. If I can know the general situation of those ruby mines, I may be able to give Kunshan a head-on blow."
Luo Yunhang immediately understood what he meant.
This is a father's counterattack, which is perfectly normal.
"I won't let your help go in vain. After the work is completed, I will pay you 1.3 billion kyats as a reward. What do you think?" Yan Rong added immediately when he saw that he didn't speak.
I don't know why, but Yan Rong has great confidence in him. He always feels that this kid is a bit evil. It's better to be friends than enemies.
Thirteen billion kyats, which is 50 million yuan, is really not a simple reward for Luo Yunhang to make a move.
Although Luo Yunhang has much more money in his pocket, this is the first time someone is willing to spend 50 million to ask him for help, and he feels like he is awesome.
"Forget the reward, I helped you with this." Anyway, it's just a matter of convenience, just take a look and it's over.
"Without further ado, we will set off to see the ruby mine in the afternoon, please go back and prepare first.
In addition, after the work is completed, the remuneration will be credited to your account. I, Yanrong, stick to my words and keep my word. "
The vehicle travels through the deserted mining area.
The environment here is even worse than the jade mining area. It is very difficult to get a good gemstone, and it is not easy to mine each gemstone.
Miners even have to extract stones from mines high above the ground.
Sometimes the mine is as big as an auditorium, and sometimes as small as a dog cave. The holes are connected, layer by layer, and continue to radiate in all directions. There is almost no supporting pillar in the cave, so the risk factor is beyond imagination.
The mining of rubies still relies on primitive manual excavation to this day. The mining process is very arduous, and often people dig for months without finding anything.
Excavation is only the first step in mining rubies, and a series of operations such as washing and sorting must be carried out next.
Screening out exquisite and beautiful gemstones from a large amount of gravel is like scouring the sand. Generally, on average, only about one carat of rough ruby can be screened out for every four hundred tons of ruby ore.
It is carefully selected again before processing, and only one ruby that reaches gem grade in terms of color, clarity, quality, etc. can be selected from every thousand rough stones.
As you can imagine, rubies are precious and hard-earned.
