Next, Lai Qingyan made a list for Tang, Song and Yuan, marking the machinery and materials needed to collect gemstones.
Xishan District is located in a remote area and has no electricity supply, so oil supply must also be considered.
Of course the first step in the plan is to build the road.
Whether it is the construction of a mine or the construction of security posts, bunkers and other facilities responsible for defense, smooth roads are needed.
However, these Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties did not need to pay attention to everything in detail. He only needed to provide start-up funds.
He opened a new special bank account for Lai Qingyan and invested 10 million yuan in the initial stage.
If further investment is needed, it will depend on Lai Qingyan's project progress.
Li Qingying's original plan to go to Pagan had to be temporarily shelved, and Tang Songyuan decided to return home.
But before leaving, the two of them had to go to Jinjiang Hospital to visit Peng Daoren, who had just regained consciousness.
Half an hour later, the two came to the special care ward where Peng Daoren was located.
Peng Daoren lay flat on the hospital bed, his head covered with white gauze, revealing only an old and haggard face.
Seeing Tang Songyuan and Li Qingying come in, he struggled to sit up. Tang Songyuan quickly stepped forward to support and stop him.
"General Peng, you shouldn't move around now, just lie down and rest..."
Peng Daoren lay back and said weakly: "I really can't repay Brother Tang for saving his life."
"In the future, if there is anything I, Old Peng, can do, Brother Tang, just ask."
Tang Songyuan smiled and said: "General Peng's words are serious. This is just a coincidence."
"And this is the first time I have used a knife on a living person. General Peng, just don't blame me for treating you as a test subject."
"Haha..." Peng Daoren said happily: "Brother Tang is really a wonderful person."
Afterwards, Tang Songyuan and Li Qingying chatted with Peng Daoren for a while, and Tang Songyuan was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Tang Songyuan comforted him: "General Peng, just rest in peace and recuperate and strive for a speedy recovery. We won't disturb him too much."
Peng Daoren smiled and nodded gently: "Okay!"
After coming out of the hospital, Tang Songyuan took Luo Gang with him and rushed all the way to the Red Star Gold Mine in Hongxing District.
Even though I'm here, I still want to take a look at my two gold mines.
Before reaching the place, Tang Songyuan saw billowing smoke and dust filling the sky over the Red Star Gold Mine in the distance, and could also hear the roaring sounds of various machinery operating.
When you step into the Red Star Gold Mine, you can see various gold mining equipment busy operating.
Excavators, transport trucks, crushers, ore washers, etc., are all running at high speed all the time.
The crusher roars, breaking the huge ore into small pieces, and then sends these small pieces of ore to the ore washing machine through the conveyor belt.
In the ore washing machine, the water flows against the ore, separating the metal minerals and eventually forming a mixture of sand and gravel rich in gold ore.
This sand and gravel mixture then goes through a series of technological processes to finally extract pure gold ore.
During the whole process, all kinds of machinery cooperated tacitly, and the workers skillfully operated the equipment, creating a busy scene.
In addition, the barracks where the workers live have been built. Compared with the dirty and poor living environment before, I don't know how much better it is.
At the same time, I also saw Wang Bing, the person in charge of the Red Star Gold Mine, wearing a safety helmet and patrolling back and forth at various work stations.
When he saw Tang Songyuan and others coming in, he was surprised at first, and then happy again.
Jogging all the way to Tang Songyuan's car.
"Mr. Tang, why are you here..."
Tang Songyuan looked at Wang Bing, who was darker and thinner than before, and couldn't help but joked:
"Why, can't I come over and take a look?"
"Yes, of course." Wang Bing replied nervously, "I just didn't expect President Tang to come here in person."
Tang Songyuan laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. I just stopped by to see how the situation is at the mine?"
Wang Bing immediately replied: "Following your instructions, we are already mining at full capacity. At present, the equipment in the mine is running very well and the workers are working hard."
"Especially Chief Engineer Sun Jingdong, his skills and sense of responsibility are far superior to mine, and I need to learn many things from scratch..."
Tang Songyuan nodded, expressing satisfaction.
He asked again: "So, what is the production capacity of the mine?"
Wang Bing scratched his head and said: "The current production capacity is better than at the beginning. It can basically produce forty to fifty kilograms of gold every day."
The profit of 40 to 50 kilograms of gold a day is more than one ton a month.
According to the current international gold price, the price of one ton of gold is as high as more than 470 million yuan.
Sure enough, it has to be a gold mine!
However, this more than a ton of gold is not pure profit. The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties need to pay 150 million contract fees to the Allied Forces every year, and an 8% production tax every quarter.
There are also expenses for machinery, oil, electricity, labor, etc.
Overall, the profit is around 70%.
After hearing this, Tang Songyuan became even more satisfied.
He told Wang Bing: "We must ensure the normal operation of the equipment and at the same time ensure the safety of the workers."
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention." Wang Bing replied seriously.
Later, Tang Songyuan walked around the mine again, personally checked the operation of various equipment, and communicated with some workers.
Some of these workers were brought from China during the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and some were old workers at the Red Star Gold Mine.
But both old and new workers are very satisfied with their current treatment.
After all, Boss Tang himself had been a worker, and he would rather make less money than lower the workers' treatment.
Sudden!
There was a loud rumbling sound in the distance from the direction of the crusher, and then a large amount of smoke and dust instantly emitted from the crusher that was originally operating well, and then stopped motionless.
Wang Bing, who was patrolling with Tang Songyuan, suddenly turned pale. He quickly apologized to Tang Songyuan and hurried over to take a look.
Tang Songyuan also frowned slightly. If the position of the crusher hadn't been more than a thousand meters away, he would have already opened his perspective and inspected the situation of the crusher to see if there were any casualties or the like.
But soon, Wang Bing returned.
Only this time, with an excited smile on his face, he said:
"Mr. Tang, the belt of the crusher suddenly broke. This kind of thing is very common in mines. There were no casualties."
"In addition, in the hopper of the crusher, we found a large piece of gold ore that was not crushed but had a high gold content."
