Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 627: Panshantou, Becoming a Mine Owner
The man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. There were only a few words on it. It was copied from the contract for easy handwriting comparison.
He checked it, felt confident, nodded, and said to his adjutant in his half-familiar local dialect, "This is our boss's people. Come and help us select stones."
Selecting stones is a key step to making a profit, so many caravans will be equipped with experienced people to minimize losses and increase profits as much as possible. During this period, it is normal to clear out some people and add some others.
The adjutant made way for the two to enter.
"My last name is Tang. I've been running a caravan. Everyone calls me Captain Tang. Miss, sir, what are your names?"
"My last name is Shui, and his last name is Bai."
"Miss Shui, Mr. Bai, I'll trouble you two then." After confirming that they were his people, Captain Tang acted very familiarly.
After bringing the two men to the warehouse, Captain Tang made a gesture of invitation to a large pile of stones.
"Miss Shui, please take a look at these stones and pick out some good ones for Boss Zuo." Captain Tang whispered again, "We've prepared a small gift. Your hard work won't be in vain."
The stones have already been selected. It must be said that the appraisers have good eyes. Stones like those in the warlord warehouse area can be valued at at least fifty taels.
According to the agreement with Boss Zuo, Qiao Jianer mainly selected stones worth more than 1,000 taels, and also selected stones worth several hundred taels.
She selected very quickly. To others, it seemed that she only needed to take a look to make her decision, without even touching it.
After a while, he picked up a large pile of stones.
Captain Tang was stunned, and the accompanying adjutant seemed to sneer.
She's just a little girl who knows nothing and comes here to play.
Qiao Jianer walked towards the next pile of rocks, and Captain Tang quickly followed her.
"Water girl, water girl."
Hearing the other party's somewhat anxious tone, Qiao Jianer stopped.
"Captain Tang, what can I do for you?"
"Well, isn't that too fast?"
"What's wrong with being quick? You can deliver the goods back earlier and report back, so you can have more time to rest." Qiao Lian'er was puzzled.
"That's right." Captain Tang swallowed. "It seems that Miss Shui, you haven't even done any verification, yet you're so sure. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just the first time I've seen such a method."
Qiao Jianer understood that the other party thought she was pointing randomly.
She took Captain Tang to a farther location.
"How about this, you guys pick a few rocks and try cutting them. Don't let anyone know, or you won't be able to leave easily."
Captain Tang called his men over and whispered some instructions to him.
The selected stones will be registered and settled together at the end, and can be transported away first.
Boss Zuo's caravan first transported a cart out.
There is a cutting site not far away, and the results can be verified quickly.
Captain Tang smiled apologetically, "Miss Shui, it's not that I don't trust you, but buying a large batch of stone is a huge expense, so we have to be careful and do everything safely, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the boss."
Qiao Jian'er didn't care. People didn't know she had hidden skills, so it was understandable that she doubted her.
"That's fine. After all, we're going to be collaborating for a long time. If you can trust me, I can explain it to Miss Chen."
Not long after, one of the men hurried back, with an incredible look on his face, and whispered in front of Captain Tang.
"Captain Tang, I picked out a few stones at random, and they are all worth more than a thousand taels. One piece is worth seven thousand taels."
"We were afraid of attracting attention, so we didn't dare to continue driving."
"But since it was chosen randomly, it means the same is probably true for other stones."
"What?" Captain Tang couldn't believe it.
His gaze fell on Qiao Jianer again, full of surprise. She was just a teenage girl, and her voice was still a little childish, how could she be so magical.
Think about what Boss Zuo mentioned, that Miss Chen is a remarkable person. If that’s the case, her friend is certainly no worse than him.
Captain Tang was overjoyed. Not only was Boss Zuo going to make a fortune, but he was going to get rich too.
After selecting a large number of valuable stones and secretly tampering with them, he was able to provide enough food and drink for three generations of his family.
Thinking of this, Captain Tang was even more respectful. He smiled at Qiao Jianer and almost drooled.
"Miss Shui, please continue. It is my fault that I was blind and did not recognize a master, which offended you. Please forgive me for being so magnanimous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the young man snort.
"Captain Tang, I think you have a good plan."
Captain Tang didn't expect that his thoughts were seen through by this young man, so he didn't try to hide it, but just chuckled.
"I care about others as well as myself. I am a principled person."
From morning to night, Qiao Jianer went around several warehouse areas, picking out enough goods for Boss Zuo.
She didn't pick out all the good stuff, but left some for other caravans. Otherwise, over time, various drawbacks would be exposed, and Boss Zuo's caravan would not have a good ending.
As soon as it got dark, Captain Tang led the team out.
This time it was efficient and quick, which greatly saved the cost of stay and increased the profit by many times.
With so many good things in hand, we can't stay in a place like this for too long. The best thing to do is to leave as soon as possible.
"After they leave, let's go look at the mountains tomorrow. I will also buy a few mountains and become a mine owner. Then all the treasures under the mountains will be mine." Qiao Lianer said.
Pei Shijiu looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "This is the real purpose of your coming."
"Well, let's see the mountain first, then go see their chief manager."
The Grand Manager of Puchen State was in charge of the country's mineral resources. If warlords and wealthy businessmen wanted to become mine owners, they would get approval documents from the Grand Manager.
Part of the mining area of Puchen Kingdom is monopolized by the imperial court, and part is sold to separatist warlords and wealthy businessmen. The latter are relatively independent. This is why she wants to become the owner of the mountain, because she can have greater autonomy. As long as she has enough troops, no one dares to provoke her.
The minerals in a large mine may not be fully mined even after decades.
While they were selecting stones, Dan Suo went to interpret for someone else. In the darkness of the night, he ran up to the two of them.
"Come to my house for dinner."
Qiao Lianer could see that his family was very poor and they were short of rice for a meal, so it was not easy to disturb them.
"No need, I brought food, thank you." There was plenty of food and sleeping in the space, so she didn't have to worry at all when coming to such a place.
Dan Suo scratched his head and said, "But I've asked my family to cook some extra rice porridge. It would be a waste if you don't go."
Seeing this, Qiao Jianer didn't want to hurt the other person's feelings, so she nodded and said, "Let's go."
