"This is the place where Hotan jade is produced?" Ge Ge, who just got off the plane, asked Yang Jing in amazement. No wonder she has this expression, because Hotan airport is actually built on the edge of the desert, specifically on the edge of the Gobi desert between Hotan Oasis and Kunlun mountain.

When the plane landed and circled just now, you can clearly see the snowy Kunlun Mountain in the south, Hotan Oasis and, of course, the vast Yellow Gobi desert between the two.

Green, yellow and white are particularly clear in the sky. When I got off the plane, the feeling became stronger.

Hotan at the end of February is not too cold. Compared with Northern Xinjiang, it can be called Jiangnan. The Pamir Plateau in the West and the Tianshan Mountain in the north are like two thick arms that firmly hold the southern Xinjiang basin and shut out the cold air from Siberia. Therefore, even if the latitude of Hotan is similar to that of Tianqu, the weather in Hotan feels even warmer than that of Tianqu.

The only unpleasant thing is that the wind here is too dry. Blowing on your face is no different from scraping with a knife.

Ge Ge tightened her headscarf and followed Yang Jing to get on the car parked outside the airport. Since Yang Jing's incarnation Cole Smith bought a Hotan jade processing factory from Hotan in the late 1980s, the factory has been in operation. Thanks to the overseas relationship of the Dragon Fund, this jade carving factory, which is nominally owned by the Pacific Mining Company, has always had good benefits. At least it is much better than other state-owned jade carving factories in Hotan.

Now, this jade carving factory is also a famous local jade carving factory in Hotan. Yang Jing, the big boss, came in person, and a kind of senior management of the jade carving factory came to meet him in person.

Sitting in the comfortable desert Prince SUV, gege was amazed at the scenery outside.

Compared with Hotan more than 30 years ago, Hotan is undoubtedly much more beautiful now. There are many high-rise buildings in the central area of the city, and the roads are much more spacious, especially the greening is getting better and better. Although there are still many bungalows in most parts of the city, Hotan is much better than it was more than 30 years ago.

In the evening, after a sumptuous lunch with Hotan characteristics in the canteen of the jade carving factory, the party stayed in the silver star hotel in the evening. The next morning, led by factory director Wang of the jade carving factory, the party took five off-road vehicles and went straight to Aqike mining area.

When crossing the Yulong Kashgar River, gege asked curiously, "is this the Yulong River that produces Hotan jade seed jade?"

"Yes, it's the river. But I'm afraid the seed jade in the river has been almost dug. Now it's difficult for people to find the seed jade in the river."

"How did you get so many seed jade in your hand?"

"Hey, hey, that's a long story. My cheap master told me about his coming here. He told me that when he came to Hotan in the late 1980s, the price of Hotan jade was very low, and at that time, outsiders didn't know how to look for seed jade in the river course of Yulong Kashi River. At that time, my master invested a lot of money in Hotan Hotan, then helped the local government clean up the river course of Yulong Kashgar river for free and built a levee, and then... "Yang Jing shrugged her shoulders and made an expression you know. There was no one else in the car, except Liu Zhentao and Morris, so Yang Jing didn't taboo anything.

Liu Zhentao and Ge Ge shook their heads.

In the late 1980s, people cleaned the river. If they can't get a lot of seed jade, it's unreasonable.

Liu Zhentao asked, "Xiao Jing, do you know how much money your master invested in that year?"

"Well, let me see. It seems that my master donated 20 million US dollars to the local government when he arrived in Urumqi, and then donated 10 million US dollars to the agricultural reclamation forces in alar. When he finally arrived in Hotan, he didn't count the money for purchasing Hotan jade from some jade carving factory warehouses, but only invested 50 million US dollars to the Hotan government. If Taking into account the funds for the acquisition of Hotan jade in Hotan, it is estimated that his trip to Xinjiang province directly threw in nearly $100 million. "

This figure made Liu Zhentao spit out his tongue. US $100 million, even now, is a huge sum of money, not to mention us $100 million when China was extremely short of foreign exchange 30 years ago.

If you think so, it's not surprising that master Yang Jing can get so much Hotan jade.

You know, at that time, the price of Hotan jade was still very low. Isn't there a legend in the circle of playing Jade? He said that a woman went to Hotan with her family, but she met a child selling "pebbles" in Hotan. At that time, the child gave the woman a bag of "pebbles", saying they were stones found in the Yulong Kashgar river. Just give 50 yuan.

Although fifty yuan was a lot of money at that time, the woman looked at the child pitifully. In addition, these "pebbles" were really beautiful, so she bit her teeth and bought the bag of "pebbles" with fifty yuan. The bag of "pebbles" weighed about five or six kilograms. When the woman came home, she felt that there was no place for these stones, so she threw them into the fish tank.

As a result, more than 20 years passed unconsciously. When Hotan jade fire broke out, a friend of the woman's husband visited the woman's house. He accidentally found the "pebbles" at the bottom of the fish tank from the fish tank. At that time, his eyes almost stared out.

It turns out that those "small stones" are real Hotan lanolin seed jade. Even if the collection level can't reach the top 3A collection level, it can definitely reach the 2A collection level. That's a gram of nearly 20000 top jade!

Then the woman cleaned up all the "small stones" bought for 50 yuan more than 20 years ago and found an expert to show them. As a result, the experts said that the total value of these lanolin seed jade was close to 100 million

Good intentions are rewarded. That's true.

Unknowingly, the woman spent 50 yuan to buy Hotan jade worth 100 million in more than 20 years. If Yang Jing's master had spent 100 million US dollars at that time, she would have to buy out all Hotan's seed jade.

Therefore, from this point of view, the master of Yang Jing is not a leak

However, it would be wonderful if Yang Jing's master could obtain the mining right of a jade mine for 70 years. Now that mine still has a mining period of 40 years, how many mountain materials can be obtained!

Even if it is mountain material, it is also the Hotan jade mountain material of Zhenger 800. The probability of solving a good jade is great!

The car goes all the way east along the national highway 315. The forest land and farmland on both sides of the road can not be seen at a glance. Of course, there are also houses where farmers live. Yulong Kashgar river not only brings beautiful Hotan jade seed jade to mankind, but also brings oasis to the residents on both sides of the river.

Not long after Luopu County, the car entered the Gobi desert, and then the team walked a distance and turned south to a cement road, which is the road leading to Aqike mining area.

After the highway extended more than ten kilometers to the south, it reached the Bank of the Aqike river. It is only at this time that the Aqike river is dry.

The road condition is not very good. It's bumpy. No way. This road has been built for more than 30 years. Even if it is often maintained by the local road administration department, the road condition is getting worse and worse without funds for renovation.

"This road needs to be repaired. If it is not repaired, you can't take the car." Ge Ge complained.

"Well, when I get out of the mining area, I'll set aside a sum of money to renovate this road. It's estimated that my master forgot this road before, so this road has become like this now. But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, this road must be repaired again!"

Because of the bad road conditions, the distance of more than 40 kilometers behind ran for more than an hour. However, in the end, the team arrived at the Aqike mining area safely.

"See, there, there and the four mountains over there connect to form a mining area about three kilometers long and one kilometer wide, which is our Hotan jade mine." when he got off the car, Yang Jing pointed to the valley in front of him, which is connected to the hillside on both sides.

At this time, Wang Jian, the director of the jade carving factory, also came up and pointed to the area with a smile and explained: "Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang, the total area of the mining area is 4.1 square kilometers, but most of them are hillsides. Only the area more than 40 meters wide and more than 200 meters long in the valley is relatively flat. Our factory buildings, office areas and miners' dormitories are placed here."

Wang Jian is Wu Dawei's nephew. When Yang Jing came to Xinjiang as Cole Smith, it was Wu Dawei who led him. Wu Dawei was the director of the Sales Department of a large motor factory in Yanjing. He followed the trend and went to the sea for gold in the mid-1980s, but his process of going to the sea for gold was not very smooth, and he finally got a little disheartened. Fortunately, he met him at this time Peter Wu, Peter Wu appreciated Wu Dawei's communication skills, so he recruited Wu Dawei under his command.

Later, Yang Jing made such a big stall in Hotan. Wu Dawei simply moved to Hotan with his family. At the same time, he also served as the factory director of the jade carving factory and the mine director of the Aqike mining area.

After seeing Cole Smith's wealth, Wu Dawei knew that he had a super thick thigh. In addition, Hotan had a good environment and had no problem eating and living. Therefore, Wu Dawei simply volunteered to preside over the work here, which was appreciated by Peter Wu.

For this reason, after soliciting Yang Jing's consent, Peter Wu returned Wu Dawei's 10% stake in the jade carving factory.

After graduating from technical school in the late 1990s, Wang Jian came to Hotan to join his Uncle Wu Dawei. Later, he did well in jade carving factories and mines, and was gradually promoted by Wu Dawei. Six years ago, Wu Dawei, 69, died of lung cancer. Before his death, when Peter Wu came to visit him, he begged Peter Wu to agree to let his nephew king Jian takes over his class.

After inspecting Wang Jian, Peter Wu agreed to Wu Dawei's request. Since then, Wang Jian has presided over the work here, and Peter Wu has given Wang Jian 10% of the shares. Of course, the 10% shares are only the shares of the jade carving factory, and Peter Wu has no power to distribute the shares of Aqike jade mine.
