Return From the Immortal Realm - C146
In the Hetian, the jade industry was the main industry, so the local people took everything related to jade very seriously. With the Tuldan’s introduction, Wei Fan and the others became more familiar with Commissioner Qian after a short while, just enough time for them to drink and chat merrily.
Although according to the rules, Hetian’s seed material mining grounds could be auctioned off, but the operation was still very large.
There was no one else in the office, so Mardan did not mind. She patted on Commissioner Qian’s shoulder and recalled: “Little Qian! “In the past, when you came to our Hetian, you were still young. Now that your children are about to get married, time will disappear in the blink of an eye …”
Commissioner Qian was not a local of the Hetian, he was a cadre from the mainland. Normally, when he dealt with local affairs, he relied heavily on the likes of Tuldan and the others. Although he had earned a lot of money secretly in front of this commissioner, he had to weigh the pros and cons quite a bit.
After hearing what Turdan said, Commissioner Qian was not confused at all. He took out a thick stack of drawings from his file cabinet and handed it over to Wei Fan and the others, “Although it was not the right time for you all to come, since you all are here with the Hetian, you are all honorable guests. You can make an exception and make a change. You guys discuss where you want to go. ”
Lao Tang was already prepared for this and reached into his bag to take out something. He handed over a seal made of Hetian jade and smiled as he said, “I’ve long heard that you’re quite knowledgeable on seals, Little Qian. Coincidentally, I recently got someone to carve one, please help me take a look.”
Commissioner Qian had been dealing with Hetian Jade for half his life already, once he got the seal, he estimated the approximate price. Forget about Mardan giving face, just this seal was already enough for him to change.
After arranging a drink with them at night, Mardan took the blueprint and left the office, she then drove to the mining field again.
Wei Fan and the others held the blueprints and walked around. Although they were curious about the jade carvings, they paid more attention to whether there was any jade in the soil.
The soil was covered, so he didn’t know what was beneath it. However, the locals had to make use of that fact. According to the trend of the ancient river, they would usually choose the middle reaches or corners of the river, where the jade could easily be deposited.
It sounded simple, but ordinary people couldn’t tell who it was. Moreover, this was only a theory. In actual practice, there were many other factors that had to be considered.
Out of good intentions, Mardan saw Wei Fan leading everyone else around, and suggested: “Why don’t we find a person who understands?”
Wei Fan turned around, and looked at him with a smile: “Are you not an expert?”
Mardan modestly shook her head and said, “I know a little about collecting mountain jade, I have never done this kind of work before.”
Zheng Qianqiu looked at Wei Fan, wanting to ask him if he could find Master. Lao Tang knew very well that with Wei Fan here, there was no need to find experts.
Unexpectedly, the decision still fell into Wei Fan’s hands, Mardan couldn’t help but to suspect if this brat was actually one of the big figures’ child.
Unceasing to release his spirit sense was rather difficult for Wei Fan, so he straightforwardly said that he did not want it.
“Then let’s try our luck?” Mardan rolled her eyes and said.
“By feeling it.” Zheng Qianqiu and Lao Tang replaced Wei Fan as they spoke at the same time.
Mardan could not care less about the matters regarding the young people. Follow beside Wei Fan and see what kind of place they can find based on their senses.
There were traces to follow along the way, and they were moving slowly along the river.
Although Zheng Qianqiu knew that it was nonsense to rely on Wei Fan’s words, he still specially made a phone call to go home, and asked the old lady if Wei Fan was really going to be the host for the last time.
The old lady from Zheng Family snorted unhappily on the phone, and reprimanded: “How come she’s getting more and more mischievous the longer she grows, becoming a woman?”
When the Old Granny scolded him, she did not show him any mercy. Zheng Qianqiu, on the other side of the phone, could not even raise his head.
What a good temper, the old lady’s words made Zheng Qianqiu have no other thoughts.
“Think about how that child casually picked up a piece of jade.”
Following behind Wei Fan, what Zheng Qianqiu was worried about was not that he would not be able to dig out good jade, but rather, he was worried about Wei Fan choosing a good place quickly and call for people to dig it out immediately.
Lao Tang knew that Wei Fan was in cahoots with Zheng Family, so he did not plan to join them. The places along the river were sold according to the acre, which was quite a bargain for him. He had the same confidence in Wei Fan, when he was free, he had even thought that Little Wei was one of the legendary experts. But after thinking about it, he realized that all of them had long hair and were floating in the air, looking much better than Wei Fan. Therefore, Lao Tang could only throw these fantasies out of his head.
Wei Fan could not bear to use his largest amount of Spiritual Sense. In the eyes of the Lao Tang and the others, Wei Fan was running his hands around randomly. In fact, Wei Fan’s hand that was hidden in his pocket had already grabbed onto the Hetian Jade, secretly replenishing his spiritual energy.
Looking at so many places, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen any places with jade, but they all had relatively low reserves. Wei Fan calculated the expenses, and found that it was just enough.
Although Mardan was not familiar with this place, she still understood it to a greater or lesser degree. He realised that Wei Fan was moving further and further away from the Ancient River according to the blueprints that Commissioner Qian had given him. All of them could not help but remind Wei Chen: “Little Wei, we are far away.”
However, Wei Fan finally revealed a relaxed smile: “It’s fine, this place is pretty good.”
Hearing Wei Fan say that it felt good, Zheng Qianqiu and the others also closed their eyes to try and understand. They wanted to know what exactly was the difference between them, but three minutes passed and they still didn’t feel anything special. When he opened his eyes, he could only see desolation. The desert stretched as far as the eye could see.
Zheng Qianqiu couldn’t feel it nor did he want to torment himself anymore. He took out the blueprint and looked at it, and realized that this was still an ownerless land that he could buy. “How many mu do you want to buy?”
Wei Fan said in a relaxed manner: “Let’s buy forty mu or so first!”
This really wasn’t a large sum of money. If one were to calculate the sum of fifty thousand yuan per mu of land, it would only be a few million yuan. The environmental governance fees in the later stages of the game weren’t a big amount.
With just this little bit of money, Zheng Qianqiu didn’t need to be serious and used a pen to mark this area on the map.
This was too little. It was not enough to fill the gaps between teeth. Just as Zheng Qianqiu was thinking this, Wei Fan was once again walking in front.
After spending close to a day’s time, Wei Fan and Zheng Qianqiu had circled a few hundred acres of land, and also helped Lao Tang locate a few dozen acres of land.
After doing all this, Wei Fan looked at Mardan and asked: “Old Gramps, how about I rely on my senses and help you look for a few places?”
Tens of thousands of dollars was nothing to Mardan as she joked, “Don’t pay the consultation fee!”
After exempting Mardan from the consultation fee, Wei Fan helped him find a few places for free, then said with a serious face: “Old Gramps, if you have time, quickly find someone to dig. If you miss this, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Seeing Wei Fan’s serious expression, Mardan wanted to laugh. She held back his laughter and said with certainty: “Alright, alright! I’ll get someone to mine it in a few days. ”
In the evening, Wei Fan and the others returned to Commissioner Qian’s office. Holding the map that Wei Fan and the others had made, Commissioner Qian’s forehead was covered with sweat.
Looking at him, Wei Fan and the others were confused.
Commissioner Qian rubbed his throbbing temples and said, “Old man, they don’t understand why you didn’t tell them the rules!”
What are the rules? After hearing Commissioner Qian’s complaints, Wei Fan and the others finally understood that this place had its fair share of people. There were only four thousand mu of indicators this year, and they were eaten by Wei Fan and the others before the auction even began. Even if he was the Commissioner in charge of this area, he would not be able to cover for it.
After some discussion, Wei Fan finally cut off more than half of it. Looking at this number, Commissioner Qian was finally relieved.
As the Lao Tang handed over the jade bracelet, Commissioner Qian was no longer uncomfortable.
After getting used to seeing the Hetian jade, it was naturally fresh to see the emerald.
The Lao Tang tried to pull their relationship closer: “I used to play with jade, I think Qian was responsible for this Hetian jade, I naturally understand jade very well, and I have some experience with jade too.”
Qian Chao was very happy that he had collected so many treasures today. After getting off work early, he brought Wei Fan and the others to a local restaurant.
When the meal ended, Zheng Qianqiu and the others were all drunk, but Wei Fan was the only one who woke up. After settling them down, Wei Fan returned to his room reeking of alcohol.
Wei Fan did not come back. Xuancao clearly knew that this fellow was a big wine barrel, but he was still fine. Seeing Wei Fan coming back, she smiled and wanted to come forward to hug him, but the smell of the alcohol on Wei Fan’s body made her run back to the bed.
Pointing to the bathroom, Xuancao said: “Go take a shower, otherwise I won’t give you bed.”
Wei Fan, on the other hand, borrowed the effects of the alcohol, and laughed sinisterly: “Then let’s see if the young lady can stop me!”
