Chapter 464

Gao Yang went out of the hut and threw the tube bag containing emeralds to Li JinFang. Then he went to Lucy's side and pointed to the humanitarian squatting on the shed and open space: "who are these people? What's going on?"

"All the people in the shed are workers, some are locals, and many are cheated and forced to go to the mine to dig gemstones. There are more than 40 people in the big room, all armed guards."

Gao Yang nodded and said to Ivan, "the number of armed guards is not right. It seems to be less. What else should we do with these people?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "don't worry about them. Take the weapons and let them leave by themselves. What I'm concerned about now is what's going on in Arturo's mine. I don't think it's that simple."

After that, Ivan went to the room where the armed guard stayed. After shouting a few words in Spanish, he asked Antonov to take a man out of the room and muttered in Spanish for a long time.

After asking, Ivan immediately asked Antonov to take the man back to the room, and then whispered to Gao Yang, "we have asked clearly, and now we can leave."

Gao Yang pointed to the big room and said, "what about those people inside?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "what can we do? Just take their weapons away. See those people? As long as the guards have no weapons, these workers who are forced to work in the mine and can't get a penny will take care of the rest for us."

After Ivan spoke, everyone went into the house and took out all the weapons. In addition, communication equipment, such as telephone walkie talkie, were also collected. However, these things were held high and they would not take them away. Anyway, there is a cliff next to the camp. Just throw the weapons directly under the cliff.

After putting everything in order and making sure that the people in the camp would no longer pose a threat to them, Gao Yang and they left immediately.

When walking back, Ivan sighed with regret, turned around and looked at the camp again, and then said reluctantly: "You know, Arturo was lucky enough to find an old mine. Now I really want to continue to open this mine, but forget it. It's not my style to develop fixed industries in a place, but it's a pity."

Gao Yang said with great interest, "what do you say?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "I'd better tell you carefully. Colombia is the largest producer of emeralds and the top producer of emeralds.

There are three major mining areas producing emeralds in Colombia: Muzo, Chivor and coscue. The Muzo mining area is recognized as the best emerald producing area in the world, and the theft of emeralds has never been stopped. Arturo thought he found a high-quality emerald vein in the Muzo mining area, but he borrowed money from me, worked hard to open a mine, and finally got nothing.

Arturo had to run away to collect debts after losing money, but Arturo was really lucky. He came to Laguna de guatavita, which is where I am now.

Before the 15th century, Colombian Indians mined emeralds on this mountain. After the Spanish tooth pullers came, they plundered Indian gold and gemstones. Later, the Indians sank their gold and emeralds into a lake at the foot of the mountain and sealed and hid all the mines. Until now, no one knows the mines of ancient Indians Where is the well.

The mountain where we live has been mined on a large scale. Now the vein of emerald has dried up, and no one continues to mine here. Arturo just wanted to take a chance, but who could have thought that after he dug down the mine, he opened up the old Indian mine, so he found a vein with great reserves. That's the thing 。”

Ivan's words made Gao Yang sigh and said: "I found an old mine cave that was hidden. I don't know whether Arturo is lucky or unlucky. If he can drive all the time, how much money can he make?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "do you mean how many emeralds can be mined in that mine? Only God can know. Maybe 50 million, maybe 100 million, maybe a billion, but certainly not too little."

Gao Yang said with a smile, "then why don't you continue mining? It's not difficult for you, is it?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "you can't be too greedy."

After saying it with emotion, Ivan said with a bitter smile: "It's really a pity to let go of this mine, but I'm just an arms dealer. Even if I occasionally do some part-time jobs, it's a business with short time and quick money. If I don't want to be robbed, I either arrange a lot of people here, or I have to cooperate with local gangs, and I can't divulge the news, otherwise, once the government knows it It is impossible to continue mining.

For an arms dealer, it's good to sell their own arms at ease. It's a foolish choice to cooperate with the gangs. I can sell weapons to the gangs, but I will never cooperate with the gangs to carry out a long-term cooperation, so I'd better give up this mine directly. "

Gao Yang smiled and said, "anyway, we have gained a lot this time. What shall we do next? How to deal with these emeralds?"

Ivan snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "I've found an expert to identify emeralds. He will give an approximate price after seeing our gems, and then we'll go to the GEM market in Bogota to sell the emeralds."

Gao Yang said in surprise, "do we still need to go to the market to sell the gem?"

Ivan shook his head and said: "No, no, of course we can find a buyer to sell all the gemstones at one time, but you and I don't know about emeralds, and the gem dealer I can find doesn't have a deep friendship with me, so I can't guarantee that he won't cheat me. You know that the grades of gemstones are different and the prices are very different, so let's identify the gemstones first and know how much they are worth At least not by people. "

At this time, Frye, who was walking in front of Gao Yang, turned his head and said loudly, "boss, don't sell all the emeralds. Don't forget to leave one for ye Lianna. I've planned to leave at least a few of my precious stones to make some jewelry for my mother and my girlfriend."

Gao Yang smiled and scolded, "go away. It's up to you to say. I've planned to sell the bad ones and pick out the best ones to stay."

Li JinFang sighed and said, "Alas, you all have gifts. Who do you think I can give away if I leave the gemstones? I've decided to sell them all. There's no one left. I'm worried about looking at them."

Ivan laughed and said: "In fact, you can keep all the gemstones. Colombia is the origin of emeralds, so the price is low. If you take emeralds to other places and sell them, the price can at least double. However, it depends on how much our harvest is worth. This time, our gemstones are a large number of goods. If the value is too high, we leave the Bogota transaction It's hard for the market to sell it all at once. "

The harvest was very fruitful and everyone was in a good mood. Groliov smiled: "I thought all arms dealers were like the vampire ulyanko and refused to let go of any chance to make money. Ivan, you are better than ulyanko in this point. I can guarantee that if ulyanko was here, he would never let go of the mine."

Ivan smiled: "Ulyanko? I'm sure he will never let go of the mine. I don't think ulyanko's nickname is vampire, but it should be called Dragon. He has no resistance to anything bright and valuable. With a million dollars in front of him, ulyanko may be able to resist temptation and think calmly, but if it is valuable A million dollars. No, if a diamond worth half a million dollars is put in front of him, ulyanko will lose his mind. If he is asked to give up an emerald vein, he will go crazy. He will definitely go crazy. "

It took almost three hours from the mountain to the mining camp in Arturo. When Gao Yang returned, it took nearly three hours. They talked and laughed all the way back to the foot of the mountain. When they took the car at the foot of the mountain, the sky began to shine.

As soon as he got on the car, Ivan couldn't wait to pick up the phone, informed the experts he had contacted in advance, and asked the experts to identify the gemstones in his rented manor.

When they returned to Ivan's rented manor in the suburbs, it was already bright. After they put down all their weapons and equipment, they didn't go to rest. Instead, they went directly to the General Assembly living room of the manor, sitting on the sofa one by one, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the identification experts.

In addition to Gao Yang and Ivan, that is, only Antonov knew how much the harvest was this time. When Ivan proudly put both bags on the table and poured out the gemstones inside, there was a cry of surprise.

The emeralds piled up into a hill on the table. Ivan put his hand on the gem pile and said loudly, "guys, we have harvested at least 15 kilograms of gems this time. Now I can happily declare that I will never lose money this time, ha ha."

After Bruce whistled loudly, he beamed and said, "Falk, I've never thought that gemstones can also be counted by kilograms."

Bruce's words drew a burst of laughter. When they were praising their happiness for the harvest of this trip, the expert of gem identification finally arrived.

Because there were too many gemstones, Ivan asked him to find an expert in advance and temporarily called another helper. When Ivan's bodyguard introduced the expert into the reception hall, at the moment of seeing the emerald, the two experts immediately said with one voice: "so many!"
