Chapter 296 The Emerald Warehouse belonging to Yang Jing

"Are these our warehouses?" Yang Jing pointed to the sturdy warehouses ten meters square in the corner of the warehouse area and frowned.

"Yes, boss, after we opened this site in July last year, all the jadeite rough stones we dug out have been piled up here after being selected. We have no place to transport them now! Mr. Al said he came here last year, but he didn't know what happened to him. He never came here. It was natural that Mr. Al had opened the transportation route to China by he had naturally become a waste."

Yang Jing nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I know this. I am here to open the transportation route for Mr. Aler."

Wu Qinmao was amused when he heard this. "Boss, if you don't come again, you don't know where the raw stones we dug out should be placed. At the entrance of the field here, there are usually two to three warehouses as temporary storage points, and other raw stones will be transported away in a short time. Because our jadeite raw stones cannot be transported out, they can only accumulate here. There are not many open spaces in the Damukan mining area, and we have to build four or five more warehouses. Not only does it cost a lot, it also makes the mine owners of other entrances a little dissatisfied..."

While the two were talking, a local Burmese man with a gun ran over, stood attentively and saluted Wu Qinmao, and then said something in a whisper, while Wu Qinmao replied in a whisper.

They communicated in local language, and Yang Jing naturally couldn't understand it, but it was obvious that Wu Qinmao introduced Yang Jing's identity to this person, so this guy bowed to Yang Jing very quickly.

Wu Qinmao explained: "Boss, this is the security captain of our warehouse. Tunqin is a cousin of my aunt's family. He is absolutely reliable. Now he leads 120 armed team members, divided into four shifts and 24 hours a day to protect our warehouse."

Yang Jing nodded at the security captain with satisfaction, which made him a little flattered.

The warehouse area can be said to be the most important area of ​​a yard entrance. In the Damkan Mine Area, several adjacent yard entrances usually arrange the warehouses together, and then several yard entrances jointly send security personnel to guard the warehouse area together.

It is like this warehouse area, which is built by the mine owners of the nearby five yards. The warehouse area is surrounded by stone walls that are more than one meter thick and four meters high. There are tall corner buildings at four corners. Searchlights are installed on the corner tower and 7.62 mm machine gun bullets are used. At least five security personnel from different yard gates are on duty at each corner tower.

Inside and outside the wall of the warehouse area, there are also a large number of security guards with guns patrolling continuously. These numerous security guards almost prevent any blind spots from creating any blind spots in the entire warehouse area. Even if 007 comes, I am afraid that it will not be possible to touch the warehouse area without any knowledge.

Only fixed security personnel, the owner or the manager of the warehouse area can enter the gate, and no one else can enter. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Wang Peng Jiasheng from Kokang came here, he could not enter the gate of the warehouse.

Although these jade yards are now under the management of Peng Jiasheng, the bosses of these yards are not afraid of Peng Jiasheng. Everyone who dares to open a mine here has a very deep background behind them, and the number of security guards at these yards is hundreds of, and the equipment is even better than that of Peng Jiasheng's military equipment.

Therefore, even Peng Jiasheng would not make a taboo in taking the initiative to go to these warehouse areas.

Under the leadership of Tunqin, Yang Jing and Wu Qinmao walked into the warehouse area and followed a fixed route to the area where their warehouse belonged.

The four walls of these warehouses are built with stones, and the roofs are made of thick logs as the base, covered with thatch and yellow mud.

In this era, cement in northern Myanmar was even more rare than munitions, and there were even less reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs. These warehouses were completely built with local materials.

The warehouse doors were also nailed with logs, iron doors? In this era, you didn’t even think about them. In the 1980s, no matter which mining area it was, all warehouse doors were made of local materials and nailed with large logs.

Tunqin opened the lock happily, untied the iron chain as thick as an arm, and called three guards over and four of them to work together, and then pushed the door open a gap that could make people walk into.

This kind of door also has its own anti-theft function. There is no door shaft, so a door with a size of 800 to 900 kilograms requires at least three or four people to push open. One person may be able to get into the mining area, but there is almost no probability that two or three people will get into it together.

This is like the "Ghost Sorrow" used by those wealthy families in ancient China to prevent theft. Those wealthy families melted hundreds of kilograms of silver into "Ghost Sorrow". A large silver ingot is as big as hundreds of kilograms. Even if the thieves touched it in, they would not be able to move it away. The ghosts were worried when they saw these big silver ingots, let alone those thieves...

The warehouse doors in these warehouses have the same truth as those "ghosts are sad".

A warehouse is about 100 square meters, and every meter there is a wooden shelf made of logs placed in it. There are five shelves in a warehouse, and each shelf is placed with jadeite rough stones that are not very large.

Yang Jing looked at these jadeite rough stones and frowned. The number of these jadeite rough stones was much smaller than he imagined.

"Old Wu, how many raw stones can be placed in this warehouse?"

Wu Qinmao immediately took out a black notebook from his pocket, opened it and said, "Boss, this warehouse contains the best raw stones we carefully selected. There are 4,156 raw stones in total, with a total weight of 7.98 tons."

The jadeite raw stones in the Damukan mining area are mostly brown-gray, yellow-red, and generally have better water and bottom, but there are more white fog and yellow fog. Generally speaking, they are relatively small in size, usually around one or two kilograms.

These more than 4,000 raw stones weigh less than eight tons, which is in line with the characteristics of jadeite raw stones produced in the Damukan mining area. However, it is really unreasonable to dig out such a little raw stone after nearly 4,000 people dug up for a year.

"I have been digging for more than a year, and I have dug out such a little bit of raw stone?" Yang Jing's tone was a bit bad.

Wu Qinmao shivered and quickly explained: "Boss, this warehouse is only one of our eight warehouses, and the ones here are filled with the best quality raw stones, so the number of raw stones in this warehouse is so small. Each of the other seven warehouses has a total of about 20 tons of raw stones. We dug out a total of about 150 tons of raw stones in a year, which is already a lot. The area of ​​the Hangba yard next to us is a little larger than our yard. They have more than 5,000 miners, and only 150 tons of raw stones a year have been dug out. Those smaller yards can dig out 100 tons of raw stones a year, even if they burn the incense! Among the more than 20 yards in the Damukan Mine Area, there are only four or five yards that can dig out 100 tons of raw stones a year, and the other yards are only dozens of tons a year."

After Wu Qinmao said this, Yang Jing remembered that it was only the 1980s. In the jade mining areas in Myanmar, purely manual excavation methods were used. Now, unlike thirty years later, "strange hand" excavation equipment has replaced a large amount of labor. With the large-scale use of modern equipment, the output of the jade mining areas in Myanmar has also increased greatly.

But even if the "strange hands" were used to dig on a large scale, in 2014 and 2015, when the output was the highest in the two years, the Myanmar Jade Mine only dug out 7,000 tons of jadeite rough stones for a year.

At present, the Myanmar Jade Mining Area is not the eight major mining areas in later generations. The only mining areas that have been formed now are Lao Pagan, Xiangdong, Longken, Damukan, Houjiang and the Huika Mining Area located in a ravine about 20 kilometers south of Xiangdong Village. As for Leida and Nanqi, they are now just a prototype.

Among the six major mining areas at present, the Damukan mining area is the mining area with the largest output. It can produce less than 1,000 tons of jadeite rough stone in a year. The remaining five major mining areas will produce about 2,000 tons of jadeite rough stone in a year.

Of course, this does not mean that the miners here only dug about 2,000 tons of jadeite rough stones a year. In fact, these miners dig stones day and night, and the stones dug out in a year are counted as 100,000 tons, but most of these stones are not jadeite rough stones.

There are many stone selection masters specially used to select jadeite raw stones at each entrance. These stones dug out have passed by these masters several times. Only a very small number of jadeite raw stones will be picked out by these stone selection masters and stored in the warehouse. Most of the remaining stones will be piled up in the ore garbage dump.

Just like the stone mountain that Yang Jing and Wu Qinmao saw on the way to the warehouse just now, it was actually an ore garbage dump, with all the garbage ore collected by the stone pickers.

Of course, there may be some missing jade ore in these ore dumps, so there are always many women and children in the ore dumps picking up stones, hoping to get unexpected discoveries. However, these garbage dumps also have their own owners, and everyone who enters the garbage dump must pay the fee. Although the stones they pick up belong to themselves, they have to pay taxes to take away any stones in the garbage dump.

After thinking of these data, Yang Jing felt relieved. His own field entrance is the youngest field entrance in the entire Damukan mining area. One-seventh of the jadeite rough stone in the entire Damukan mining area was dug out in one year. This achievement should definitely be commendable.

Yang Jing said to Wu Qinmao: "I blame you for your mistake. I did a good job last year, and I will give you a 20% salary increase this year. Well, it is not easy for security guards. After the Chinese New Year, each person will also receive a 20% salary increase."

When Wu Qinmao heard this, her face suddenly became happy, and she folded her hands and bowed to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "That's it. You two will wait for me outside first. Don't come in without my greetings."

The boss's instructions, neither Wu Qinmao nor Tun Qin dared to disobey. The two of them immediately walked out. After going out, they kindly closed the heavy door again and left Yang Jing alone in the warehouse...
