Chapter 642 Buying a worthless mountain, stupid
When they heard that they were coming to buy the mine, the manager received them warmly and even asked someone to find a Chinese translator.
He ordered a topographic map to be brought and spread out on the table. It was a very large map, and all the main mountain ranges of Puchen Kingdom were on it.
"Dear guests from Daze Country, may I ask which mountain you would like to buy?" asked the chief manager.
Qiao Jianer picked up the pen beside him and drew a circle at a certain location.
"I want these three mountains."
The manager was stunned for a moment, making sure he was not mistaken.
On the topographic map, it is marked which mountains have mines, the approximate mineral content, and whether they have been sold.
However, the mountain the woman pointed to was unremarkable, and no valuable minerals were identified.
"Customer, didn't you buy the mountain to open a mine?" the manager asked.
"I want to open a mine, but I don't have much money, so I can only buy mountains with low mineral content. Although these three mountains are not marked as having minerals on the topographic map, I still found some. For me, it's just a small profit."
When the manager heard this, all the smiles disappeared from his face, and his enthusiasm and politeness disappeared completely. How could he make any profit by buying such a basically worthless mine?
He snorted, "For a hilltop like this, the guest can just buy some soldiers and occupy it. Why bother coming to the manager?"
Qiao Jianer said, "I'm a rule-abiding person. I like to follow procedures. Even if it's a mountain with scarce mineral reserves, it's still Puchen Country's land. If I want to mine there, I naturally need to get a permit first."
The manager raised his eyebrows, as if mocking her as a fool.
He didn't want to say another word to Qiao Jian'er, so he waved his hand and said, "Take the 100,000 taels. From now on, you will be the master of those three mountains. You can do whatever you want."
He had asked for too much, one hundred thousand taels. Three worthless mountains like those could be sold for thirty thousand taels. He was mainly angry that this little girl had played tricks on him.
At the same time, he asked his subordinates to prepare the approval documents.
Qiao Jianer said, "Some hilltops may look ordinary, but they may hide rare treasures. If they do, they won't ask me to pay extra."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in charge of translation burst into laughter, holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
The manager glared at him, and he adjusted his expression and regained some seriousness.
Then, after translating Qiao Jianer's words, the manager laughed and slapped his knee.
"Guest, you're new here, so I understand. You're not the only one harboring such fantasies. You buy a random mountain, thinking you're blessed with good luck and can dig up treasures. It's truly a dream."
"Puchen Kingdom has many treasures, but it's not exaggerated to the extent that every mountain has one. It can even be said that most mountains don't have any. This requires vision and experience to judge. You are a girl, although you were born into a wealthy family, but you are too naive."
"Maybe I have this luck." said Qiao Jianer.
The more whimsical she acted, the more the manager would think she was a fool and was just there to laugh at her and wouldn't interfere too much.
If she put down the money and left, it would seem mysterious and certain, and might actually arouse the manager's vigilance.
The manager was trying hard to hold it in, but he still laughed out loud, gasping for breath. He took a sip of cold tea and straightened his face.
"Let me tell you this, there really are treasures on those mountains, and you bought them with the written approval document. No one will come to snatch them from you, but I can tell you responsibly that only one person out of a hundred thousand would be so lucky."
"But you never know. What if you really get lucky? If you have this destiny, no one can stop you, right?"
The last sentence was just because he was afraid that Qiao Jianer would be hurt and refuse to pay.
When he first saw Qiao Jianer, the manager thought she had an extraordinary demeanor and was afraid that she was really capable.
After some contact, I found out that he was a fool, while this was a child from a wealthy family in Middle-earth, who came out with money to gamble his luck.
Qiao Jian'er slammed the 100,000 taels of silver note on the table and quickly gave her the approval document.
When she left the Grand Secretary's Mansion, she heard the Grand Secretary and his officials laughing at her.
Qiao Jianer shrugged and didn't care.
With the approval document in hand, the three mountains were hers. Thinking of the jade, rubies and emeralds inside, Qiao Lian'er felt that the world was infinitely beautiful.
She used 100,000 taels of silver to buy a mine with a starting value of over 100 million taels. She had never done such a profitable business before.
I stayed in Dawa for two days, wandering around, trying local specialties, and looking at the exotic buildings.
Although it is not a prosperous place, it is also the capital of a country, so it’s worth coming here.
Qiao Jianer hired an army of a thousand people, which was the maximum number that a foreign merchant could hire, while the local warlords could control tens of thousands of soldiers.
She first returned to Kachin. This army was led by Pei Shijiu himself, accompanied by an interpreter. They needed some training along the way. They couldn't be expected to be very loyal, but at least they had to play some role and not cause trouble.
This task was given to Pei Shijiu.
"Be careful, they are not familiar with us yet." Qiao Lian'er looked at the army with dark faces. It was pitch black. The people here were relatively short. She picked the tallest ones. They were all strong men in their twenties, but no one was taller than Pei Shijiu, a sixteen-year-old boy. He stood among these people, dressed in white, standing out from the crowd and extremely conspicuous.
"Don't worry, I will train them to be as obedient as possible." Pei Shijiu said: "People, no matter where they are, are actually the same. If you give them enough benefits and enough deterrence, they will behave well."
"Then I'll leave first." Qiao Lian'er took the approval document and went to make some preparations to let everyone know that she had obtained the three mountains.
"You have to be careful out there alone. I guess it'll be a few days before I get there."
He looked at her with a soft concern in his eyes.
After all, we were carrying so many soldiers, and we had to walk.
Qiao Jianer arrived on time and arrived in Kachin area.
They hadn't appeared for two days and hadn't said goodbye to anyone, so Uncle Yin asked the soldiers to keep a close eye on their whereabouts.
"She's back with the approval documents. It turns out she went to Dawa. She wants to open a mine. Which mine?" Uncle Yin asked.
"It seems to be that location, those three mountains." The soldier pointed.
Uncle Yin looked in that direction, obviously a little bit in disbelief. This girl could make judgments with about 50% accuracy, and she had some vision. He didn't expect that she would make such a mistake.
Because the three mountains are quite majestic and connected together, they look spectacular. They have been explored long ago and are found to be just worthless stones.
