In fact, Yang Jing doesn't like this enthusiastic reception very much. But there is no way. When you come to other people's land to do business, you have to pick jade from other people's heads. If this matter is not supported by the local government, it will never be possible.

Hotan jade is also a kind of resource, and it is an extremely precious resource. Although the local government or all kinds of jade lovers have not begun to pay attention to Hotan jade in this era, you have to have a good relationship with the local government if you come to others to dig up this valuable resource.

In particular, Cole Smith, a foreign philanthropist who can be called a big enemy, is now well-known in the whole Xinjiang province. They had not been in Xinjiang Province for a week, but they had dropped $30 million!

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

The foreign guest and rich man can donate US $30 million in irrelevant places. How can he invest US $12 million when he comes to his destination?

This kind of rich man can't be neglected. If he makes foreign guests unhappy, isn't this investment a waste of water?

In this era, government departments do not promote "DGP only theory", and the primary task of government departments at all levels is to earn foreign exchange!

Before 1986, before the promulgation of the foreign capital enterprise law, all the foreign capital introduced by Huaxia were joint ventures, and the domestic shares must occupy the majority in the joint ventures. Although this ensured the safety of state-owned funds, it led to a lot of concerns about foreign funds entering Huaxia for investment. After all, I invested a lot of money with real money and silver, but I couldn't hold the controlling stake, which is difficult for those foreign capitalists to accept.

This led to the fact that before 1986, not many foreign capital entered China.

However, with the promulgation of the law on foreign funded enterprises, China also allows pure wholly foreign-owned enterprises. In this way, many foreign capital dare to enter China boldly. More and more foreign capital has entered China in the past two years.

However, most of those foreign capital are concentrated in coastal provinces such as the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. For inland provinces such as Xinjiang, whose resources have not been fully developed, let alone foreign capital, there is not much domestic capital introduced.

Now there is a big foreign rich man who said he would throw dollars in tens of millions. Why don't you make this guy happy?

This is tens of millions of dollars of foreign capital. Even if it is placed in coastal provinces, it is an absolute large amount of foreign capital.

Therefore, under the warm hospitality of many leaders of Hotan Prefecture Party committee and administrative office, Yang Jing was really stunned 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 US $50 million in Hotan in the next few years to develop local mineral resources. At the same time, it also purchased the best seed materials and mountain materials.

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

As for what people say about mining mineral resources, everyone knows what's going on. Isn't this foreigner running for Hotan jade?

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

Since ancient times, everyone knows that Hotan jade is a good thing and of high value. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, according to the survey, the reserves of Hetian jade in the Kunlun Mountains are also huge. According to a rough estimate, there are at least one million tons of jade resources in the 1500 km long mining area of the Kunlun Mountains.

One million tons is not a small number. You know, tatleksu mine, one of the four jade mines in Kunlun Mountain, has been mining jade for 30 years, but only more than 3000 tons of jade have been mined!

Moreover, this million tons is only a rough estimate. How many undiscovered mines are there in the huge Kunlun mountains?

Anyway, for the Hotan government in this era, Hotan jade is an inexhaustible mineral resource. But everyone knows that if you want to mine so many jade from the depths of the mountain, you can't do it casually. Even if you invest $50 million, it's great to mine up to hundreds of thousands of tons of jade.

Go into the mountain to collect jade. That's not what money can do.

How difficult is it to pick jade in Kunlun mountain? People who don't experience it personally can't imagine it.

It is recorded in the miscellaneous notes of bamboo leaf Pavilion by Yao Yuanzhi of the Qing Dynasty: "In the southwest of Yeerqiang, it's called mildai mountain. The mountain is endless. It produces jade. It's a jade mountain. The mountain is always snowy. If you want to collect big tools, you must take a yak, hold a big nail above the big rope, hold a nail to hang the rope, and then chisel the jade. And tie it with a big rope, and slowly go down to cover the mountain. Fear that the jade will suddenly fall to the ground."

From this song describing the hardships of jade mining in the Qing Dynasty, we can see how difficult it is to mine jade! Although the modern jade mining tools have made some progress, the progress of jade mining tools has not played a good role in high mountains, dangerous roads, thin air, bad environment and continuous snow mountains.

Today's jade is still carried by donkeys. There is a doggerel in Hotan area, which describes the difficulties and blessings of jade pickers like Yao Yuanzhi's Poems: "a small donkey, two feet on the road, short whip, three ambushes are like cold winter, four seasons do not know spring and summer, sleeping in Kunlun at five o'clock, all six desires and seven emotions are thrown away, and the beauty of jade is well-known in all directions. Who knows that it will die."

On the rugged and steep Kunlun Mountains, manpower is the only tool for transporting jade materials. If there is a slight mistake, resulting in the fragmentation of large pieces of jade, the value of jade will plummet, and the personal reputation of jade miners will plummet. The mining of Hotan jade has been very difficult since ancient times, and a lot of human and financial resources have been invested. I don't know how many $50 million the cost of mining jade for thousands of years, but Hotan jade is still very rare.

Local people in Hotan know this very well.

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 anything.

As for whether you can pick jade smoothly and how much jade you can pick, it has nothing to do with us.

Of course, Hotan leaders also kindly advised Yang Jing not to go into the mountain to collect jade. It is not only dangerous, but also the harvest is not cost-effective compared with the investment. It is better to honestly buy the best jade picked by the jade pickers from the mountain in Hotan. As long as you can open the harvest, we can provide you with all kinds of best materials.

In fact, the Hotan jade and the best jade produced in the whole Xinjiang Province are being exported.

In the 1970s and 1980s, in addition to the best Dashanzi (large ornaments), Hotan jade used for export also had a large number of best seed materials and mountain materials, especially the big ones in the seed materials were "more popular"!

It is estimated that in 30 years, few people will think that in the 1970s and 1980s, most of the seed materials used for export to earn foreign exchange were "kilogram grade". This is the "kilogram" seed material. Thirty years later, a "two-level" seed jade is the best that can be met but not sought. But in this era, the "kilogram" seed material can not be seen everywhere, but the quantity is definitely a lot.

In this era, the complete kilogram large materials are the favorite of major jade carving factories. In the domestic market of this era, the demand and value of seed materials have not really been explored and returned. Therefore, after receiving these kilogram high-quality seed materials, jade carving factories generally tend to carve seeds and jade Dashanzi, which are mainly used for export.

In this age, it can only be said that people are too willful - the seed material is smaller, don't; A little incomplete, don't; Slightly shiny green, don't... at this time, the requirements for seed material are "extremely harsh". It can be imagined that in this era, there are many top-grade seed materials in the whole Hotan area!

But similarly, because of the pursuit of export to earn foreign exchange, a large number of seed materials have been discarded in this era, including many large high-quality raw stones.

Yang Jing also knows these things. Many later materials have mentioned the "stupid things" that those jade carving factories have done in this era. This kind of picky and non-standard practice will be a typical "outrageous thing" in 30 years, which will make jade lovers point to the bridge of their nose and scold "trash things".

Therefore, when Commissioner Zhu Changhe suggested that Yang Jing buy the finished jade carvings or the best seed materials from Hotan jade carving factories, Yang Jing happily agreed, but he still had a small condition.

"Commissioner Zhu, I can collect part of the finished jade carvings, but the quantity will not be many. I want all the seed materials, mountain materials, mountain water or Gobi materials in the inventory of major jade carvings factories. If you ask for a price, I'll collect it in US dollars. The price will follow the market. How about it?"

In this era, because the real value of Hotan jade has not been developed, the price of Hotan jade is incredibly low. In the later Hotan region, there is a saying that can explain the low price of Hotan jade in this era - Hotan jade was sold by car thirty years ago, but now Hotan jade is sold by gram!

This is why the price difference of Hotan jade will be so great in 30 years.

In this era, the price of Hotan jade is really low. Of course, the carved Dashanzi is another matter, but the price is far lower than that of later generations. As for the original stone of this era, the price is really not much higher than that of stone

That's why Yang Jing put forward such a request to Commissioner Zhu. Of course, the best ornaments should be collected. Now this kind of mountain is very rare in future generations. Just take out one can be called a national treasure.

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

"Absolutely! Mr. Smith, if you have any needs, just mention it. Hotan administrative office will do its best to meet your requirements!" for Commissioner Zhu, whether it's collecting jade in the mountains, purchasing finished jade carving products, or raw stone and seed materials from mountains, it's a way to earn foreign exchange! As long as you can leave us dollars in Hotan, you can say anything!

Commissioner Zhu is not talking nonsense. Earning foreign exchange first! Earning foreign exchange first! Earning foreign exchange first! Important things are still common in this era.

For Commissioner Zhu, if he can turn the mountains of Hotan jade into green Franklin, it is more important than anything!
