However, the current situation is that we must first determine whether Sermyon is going to mine here...
The actual situation is that Zhu Yu makes the decision, but now Zhu Yu has to be behind the scenes and separated by two layers.
Therefore, it is not easy for Zhu Yu to directly confirm it for Xer Miao.
But that's what happened - Zhu Yu was most likely sure that if some people in Outer Mongolia knew that this was a company with a Chinese boss, they wouldn't cooperate so happily.
After all, it can be seen from the coal business some time ago that there are always some people here who hope to make money by doing business with China, but at the same time they always want to take advantage or swing around.
As a result, I got myself into a trap——
Not only must the price of the coal that has been contracted to be sold to China be raised, but China must also provide them with a huge warehouse for free at a large coastal port for them to store their goods.
I want to eat shit!
Sermyon hesitated.
"Actually, the security issue is quite simple. There are robbers here, but most of them are ordinary local people.
As long as you hire enough local people, give them jobs, and give them a stable income, then the vast majority of them will support you. "
Although Outer Mongolia is a middle-to-high-income country, its income per capita is higher than that of China.
But in fact, most of the income is in the hands of a few wealthy people, and ordinary herders are not living a very good life.
Fortunately, the country has a large land area - slightly smaller than the area of Xin Province, but the population is only one-seventh or eighth of that of Xin Province.
Almost two people per square kilometer. What is this concept?
A large area of no man's land!
As a result, life in some small towns in remote places is really not that good.
After all, you can’t expect a country that relies on selling resources to build high-density high-speed rail, right?
Sermiao was still hesitating, and Zhu Yu finally asked a fatal question:
"Can you find a mine elsewhere that can prove your ability and make your peers look at you with admiration? Isn't this mine worth mining?"
Of course it’s worth mining!
Through yesterday's exploration, Sermyon has determined that this is a large-scale gold mine with high-grade ore, and most of the ore bodies are exposed on the surface, making it extremely easy to mine.
In other words, as long as the conditions are negotiated with local officials and the mining equipment is shipped, work can begin.
Officials were sent from the local area to provide guarantees, which shows the official attitude towards their company coming here to mine.
As long as the security problem is solved, what are you still hesitating about?
"So, Zhu, can I trust you?"
Sermiao didn't know why Zhu Yu was so active in pushing him to start mining.
After all, Zhu Yu's work has actually ended since yesterday.
"You can call the person in charge of the company and ask whether you accept my suggestion."
Zhu Yu had no choice but to say:
"I can say it here again, the company has some shares of mine. But I will never admit it later."
After speaking, he glanced at the Mongolian official not far away.
Sermyon suddenly realized.
He was a little worried that Zhu Yu had set a trap for him.
If the locals Zhu Yu found were with Zhu Yu, and if they actually mined gold and did something, they would be in big trouble.
Sermiao was willing to believe Zhu Yu's words, but he still needed to confirm it.
After making the satellite phone call, Sermiao looked at Zhu Yu with a strange expression.
"Mr. Zhu, I think you definitely have more than just a few shares in the company! My immediate boss actually asked me to trust you unconditionally!"
"Don't think so much. In fact, our goals are the same. At least now you don't have to doubt me, right?"
"of course!"
"That's enough. I'll take care of the security, and you'll be responsible for running the mine properly. By the way, it's you who deal with the officials. They'll be more kind to you."
Sermyon himself can feel this.
He accepted the division of labor immediately.
Zhu Yu planned to take Ran Jie and others to find Cao Ketu, but Sermiao was afraid and asked Zhu Yu to leave two people behind anyway.
Zhu Yu left Qin Fei and Cao Dalong behind, and he and Ran Jie drove off-road vehicles to the nearest town.
When leaving, Zhu Yu still shouted to Qin Fei:
"Marine the yellow lamb and grill it! Cook the rest!"
"Okay!" Qin Fei waved his arm to reassure Zhu Yu.
The two people drove dozens of kilometers and arrived at the nearest town.
In the Gobi town, Zhu Yu felt inexplicably familiar.
The town is not big, with dozens of households and shops with the simplest wooden boards as signboards.
Almost none of the locals speak English, and almost none speak Mandarin.
Zhu Yu got out of the car, and the people wandering around the town looked at him with curiosity, vigilance, and disgust.
Zhu Yu went into the store, took out a picture, and pointed at the cigarettes on the shelf.
The proprietress was a Mongolian woman in her forties. She happily took the money and handed the cigarette back to Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu couldn't understand what she said.
There was also a small table in the store, and two men were sitting on it drinking wine - two people using one cup, and there was a bottle of wine on the table.
"Do you know Cao Ketu?" Zhu Yu couldn't speak Mongolian, so he had to say loudly, "Cao Ketu?"
"Cao Ketu?" the woman repeated.
"Yes, yes, Cao Ketu!"
When the two drinkers heard the name, they put down their glasses and looked at Zhu Yu.
The woman also looked at Zhu Yu curiously, then went to get the phone and dialed a number.
Zhu Yu was really surprised. He was able to contact Cao Ketu on the first call, which showed that Cao Ketu really had good connections here!
The woman said a few words to the phone, then hung up the phone and asked Zhu Yu to wait.
The shop building was a bit small and had a bit of a peculiar smell, so Zhu Yu gestured to the woman to indicate that he was waiting outside.
Handing the cigarette to Ran Jie, Zhu Yu didn't smoke himself.
Ran Jie waved his hand:
"Stop doing."
"What do you mean? Are you planning to have a child?"
Zhu Yu remembered that Ran Jie was a smoker before.
"No. It's because after absorbing that energy, I feel a bit repelled by cigarettes. I don't want to smoke anymore."
"Not bad, can this thing help you quit smoking?" Zhu Yu was a little happy.
At this time, a man in his thirties came towards them.
"Where are you from?" the visitor asked, "Are you here for tourism? Who are you looking for?"
The man spoke English and could understand it.
This man looked relatively normal, but Zhu Yu, who had been hanging out in the port of New York for more than half a year, could clearly see the oily aura about this guy.
This should be a local gangster - or someone who specializes in making money from outsiders. Being able to speak English well is also a way of survival.
】
"Is there anything you want to say?"
"I can help you." The visitor said confidently: "As you can see, almost all the locals don't speak English, so you can't communicate with them. Only I can help you."
"What can you help me with?" Zhu Yu asked.
"What do you need? Food? Water? Specialties? Or..."
The man looked at Zhu Yu meaningfully: "Woman?"
"No, no, no, I don't need it."
Zhu Yu didn't want to talk to this man, but this man felt that he finally got a business and didn't want to give up.
Ran Jie pushed the man away, glared at him, and motioned for him to stay away.
The man could tell that Ran Jie was not easy to mess with, but his curiosity and desire to make this deal became stronger.
Anyone who can bring bodyguards here must be a rich person!
Just when the man was about to start a fight, a man drove over on a motorcycle.
Zhu Yu took a closer look and was a little disappointed. It was not Cao Ketu.
The man parked his motorcycle in front of the store, glanced at Zhu Yu and the others, and suddenly said in Chinese:
"Are you looking for Cao Ketu?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu said, "I met Cao Ketu when he was hunting. Now I have more important things to talk to him about."
Although the person who came was not Cao Ketu, he could at least communicate normally, so Zhu Yu was not too disappointed.
"Can you tell me what it is?"
"No, we have to meet before we talk." Zhu Yu waved his hand.
The man didn't insist, took out a mobile phone and made a call.
After he got through, the man said a few words and handed the phone to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu took it and heard a question from the other side:
"Who are you?"
"When you were hunting yellow sheep, you gave me a sheep. Do you still remember?"
"Remember, what's wrong, is the mutton not delicious?"
Zhu Yu could tell that it was indeed Cao Ketu's voice on the other side.
"I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter, you say?"
"I said it's inconvenient on the phone. Can you come to town? Or we can make an appointment."
"I'm dealing with yellow sheep here, I don't have time to go over now -"
"Okay, can you tell me where you are and I'll come find you."
"You come? Do you dare to come? Well, let the owner of this phone bring you here!"
Cao Ketu didn't expect Zhu Yu to be so bold.
Zhu Yu returned the phone to the young man riding the motorcycle, and the young man answered the phone and said a few words.
At this time the slippery man said:
"You told me earlier that you were looking for Cao Ketu! I also helped you contact him!"
As he spoke, he came over and whispered:
"Take me with you. I can help you negotiate...it's definitely more convenient than going by yourself!"
Ran Jie pushed him away. He was still a little unhappy and shouted to Ran Jie:
"What are you doing? I'm discussing business with your boss, what's your business?"
Without saying much, Ran Jie lifted up his clothes and showed the handle of his pistol.
The man ran away in fear immediately!
"I'm in front, you follow me!"
The young man riding the motorcycle started the motorcycle and was about to leave. At this time, the shop owner's wife ran out, stuffed the young man with a bag of things, and said a few words.
The young man agreed impatiently, and the landlady slapped him angrily and watched him leave.
Zhu Yu got into the car, and Ran Jie started the car and followed the motorcycle.
The motorcycle left the town and headed south, driving along the road for about five or six kilometers, then turned off the road and drove towards the mountains from the Gobi Desert.
The off-road vehicle followed the motorcycle closely, kicking up billowing dust along the way.
"Boss, there should be no problem, right?"
"Don't worry, it probably won't happen." Zhu Yu smiled, "Besides, don't you and I both have guns? We should be able to escape unscathed at the worst."
After driving for half an hour, almost at the bottom of the mountain, the motorcycle stopped near a bush.
The off-road vehicle stopped thirty or forty meters away from the motorcycle.
Zhu Yu had already seen a slightly flat area on the edge of the bush, where Cao Ketu and others were peeling yellow sheep skin and processing yellow sheep meat.
Seeing Zhu Yu coming over, Cao Ketu put the skinning knife aside, pulled a piece of yellow sheepskin, wiped the grease on his hands, and then walked over.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"A gold mine is about to open here, and I want you to be the security captain."
Zhu Yu also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he directly explained his purpose of coming, "The salary will definitely be higher than if you hunt like this, and you can also bring a group of people in."
"Gold mine?" Cao Ketu was a little surprised, "Do we have a gold mine here?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu pointed to the mountain and said, "It's in the mountain."
"Are you here to mine?" Cao Ketu's expression changed and he asked.
"No, I just brought people here to take a look. Someone else is mining." Zhu Yu shook his head.
Cao Ketu thought for a while and asked:
"Can you make the decision?"
The smell of mutton attracted a lot of flies and wasps. Zhu Yu waved away a wasp that was circling and trying to land on him, and said:
"Yes. At least I can make the decision as the security captain."
"Why are you looking for me?" Cao Ketu was more cautious about this matter, "We only met once."
"To put it bluntly, it's because you have connections here." Zhu Yu said, "The purpose of opening a gold mine is to make money. We will hire some local people as workers, and we also hope that the security aspect will be managed by local people.
The mine wants to make money and does not want to cause conflicts. If you become the security captain, you can at least balance the relationship between the two parties. In fact, it's also a good thing for you - if you hadn't given me a yellow sheep today, I wouldn't have thought of letting you come. "
If Zhu Yu wants to find people, there are some people he met when he came here last time.
It's just that being a security force really requires a balanced relationship, and being local is obviously not enough.
"I have to think about it..." Cao Ketu hesitated.
To be honest, he does have a wide network of connections, but he also has a sense of loyalty, which can be seen from the fact that he handed Zhu Yu and the others a yellow sheep in the morning.
Of course, yellow sheep are not valuable here. They cannot be transported out, so they are useless no matter how precious they are.
While they were talking, the people nearby who were following Cao Ketu looked at this side.
Zhu Yu looked at the clothes and skin color of these people, thought for a while and said:
"Think about it, not only you, you can also bring a group of people in. These people are settled, at least it is better than running around hunting, right? Once this gold mine is opened, it will not be fully mined in a few years. This is at least A long-term job…”
The prerequisite is that you don't make trouble.
Zhu Yu did not say this.
"So, how much is the salary?" Cao Ketu asked a key question.
"I don't know..." Zhu Yu shook his head.
"You don't know?" Cao Ketu was dissatisfied. He felt that Zhu Yu was deceiving him.
"I don't know what your current salary level is, so I can't be sure. But I can guarantee that it will definitely be better than you going out to work."
Zhu Yu spread his hands, "After all, I'm just a string. If you ask me to tell you the actual number, I really can't tell you, and I don't want to coax you."
Cao Ketu understood.
What Zhu Yu said made him feel that this person was at least honest.
Can consider it!
