The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer - Chapter 2060

Latest website: Guan Xingquan originally planned to arrive in Limikagil on the third day, but temporarily changed his itinerary because of an annoying incident that occurred in Bunia, the town of the northern Zaire and the seat of the Ituri state government in Eastern Province.

It is next to Uganda. Some time ago, big cattle farmers sent troops to Zaire, and immediately occupied several Zairian cities near the border, including Bunia, which is rich in gold near the city.

The gold mine did not use modern machinery for large-scale production, but basically relied on human elutriation, and even the “mechanized” equipment of pumping machines and screening tables were very few.

It depends on the crowd tactics!

In the past, there were three or five small groups of people who went for gold. There were fewer groups of more than ten or twenty people, and there were fewer groups of more people, because it was not easy to distribute.

Armed deterrence occupies the best turf. In addition, no one cares about flowers everywhere, and the organization is loose. If a gold prospector is lucky, he will often get 10 to 15 grams of gold a day, but most of the time it is only one or two grams of harvest. .

Growing coffee, raising cattle and panning for gold were the three pillar industries in Bunia, and there was still a tourism industry just after colonization.

In recent years, there have been fewer cattle breeding, coffee gardens have gradually become barren, and more and more people are panning for gold.

Do nothing else, just pan for gold!

Calculated according to the income of ordinary developing countries, if you can ensure that more than one gram of sands can be manually washed out a day, and the gold content can exceed 80%, the proper income is very good!

Even high income!

This year, the international gold price is hovering around US$380 per ounce of gold. In Bunia, it is not difficult for a gold prospector to find the sand equivalent to one ounce of pure gold in a month.

It’s a little better luck. It’s not surprising that 5 ounces a month can also take a weekly break. Find a place to relax and unwind.

At first glance, it seems quite a lot. Taking Huaxia as an analogy, the price of China’s domestic finished jewelry gold this year is around 135 yuan per gram, which seems to be a bit more expensive than international gold, but in fact it is normal.

Logistics fee, processing fee, field rental labor fee

This is the case with these OnePlus.

If you don’t compare the prices of finished jewellery products in China, even if the international gold price is 380 US dollars per ounce, the official price of the US dollar against the renminbi this year is around 1:8.35. The black market and other things are ignored.

A Zairian gold prospector in Bunia, calculated according to international gold prices, can wash at least 3173 yuan of gold in a month, which is quite a lot.

In the first half of this year, the average monthly salary of Huaxia employees was about 450 yuan, which was the highest in Beijing, reaching 650 yuan.

Calculating this way, a Zairian gold panning in a mud puddle wearing only pants and shirtless, the value of gold earned every month is at least equivalent to the income of formal employees of five state-owned units in the capital!

Appropriate high-income groups.

If you are lucky, it can be equal to 25!

Super high income.

No matter how lucky it is, it is not a dream for a black gold digger to earn a total income equivalent to 50 capital workers every month!

Imagine that one month’s income can buy at least seven or eight square meters of commercial housing in an ordinary county town in China, which is a three-bedroom, one-bedroom and one living room in one year.

If you are lucky, the income from buying a house in one month is just jealous when you think about it.

Well, the gold prospectors in Bunia can really find so much gold, but they want to earn the income of 5 capital workers and live a life of almost economic freedom.

Not a dream?

That is dreaming!

It’s not that the gold washed out will be snatched by people like mine tyrants. Those who dare to pan for gold there are shovel, gold pan, rifle, and the owner of the jungle machete on the waistband.

If you can pick up 15 grams of sand every day, others will be jealous of your site. If a talent gains one or two grams a day, others will not bother to care about you.

Bunia has a large gold mine area, but it is relatively scattered. If you want a rich mine, you can find it by yourself with a shovel. As long as you don’t get too close to others, no one will take care of you. Anyway, there are places.

If you want to grab someone, it’s the same as the United States in the gun battle every day. You have me and everyone has it. If you are afraid of each other, you will be done.

In order to avoid too many unnecessary cannibalism, the gold prospectors in Bunia have maintained a relatively peaceful state for many years, consciously maintaining the balance of the surface of the mining area.

Later, the tribal armed forces gradually became stronger, that is, they occupied some of the wealthiest mines, and most of the areas were left alone.

Even the areas occupied by the armed tribes were similarly divided into labor with the miners in the past: a base number was handed in every day, and the rest belonged to individuals.

If it can’t be done, then today will be a waste of money and will not owe gold to the mining area.

Before the outbreak of the Civil War, the practice of pulling strong men and engaging in slave labor was not popular in Bunia. After working for a few days, I felt that I was at a disadvantage.

If miners only scoured one or two ounces of sand every month, they would have enough food and clothing at most, and they would be able to get ten grams of sand every day, and they would not be able to live the lives of rich people.

This is because: layers of exploitation increase prices!

Bunia is in the easternmost part of Zaire, half of the African continent from the capital Kinshasa, but close to Uganda and Rwanda.

The gold that the gold prospectors worked so hard to find is usually sold in the mining area, and then the buying chambers will trade up, and eventually most of it will be bought by big Ugandan merchants.

It is also because of the geographical environment, plus the question that Jiang Hongrong once thought about: the resource environment is good, but the grain is imported in large quantities.

Brea imports a large amount of supplies from Uganda every year, and Uganda itself is actually a pauper. After a few times of collapse, Bunia’s price level, if priced in gold, will soon catch up with the San Francisco area during the gold rush.

Except for bananas which are slightly cheaper, other things are ridiculously expensive!

Just because of this, the precious metals Africa Group, a subsidiary of Sunshine Star Group, set up an office in Bunia a few years ago.

Not only do we find agents to engage in the mining area with a share system, but we are also fed up with the golden sands in the hands of miners and small purchasers.

In Zhang Nan’s words: save the middleman and make the difference.

There is a more ruthless trick, trying every means to transport relatively high-value living supplies to Bunia, and even occasionally using an old-fashioned transport aircraft with relatively low usage fees. The transportation there is actually not very special in the outside world, but in cloth Nigeria belongs to high-end goods and luxury goods.

Both sides make money, relying on the joint forces of the people stationed there, as well as the protection and deterrence of the armed personnel hired locally, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also popular with ordinary gold prospectors and small grassroots purchasers.

At the same time, most of the wealth of Ugandan businessmen was cut off, and they were itching with hatred, but for the time being they were helpless.

Many of those Ugandans have government backgrounds, and some are even white gloves.

This time Zaire was fighting a civil war, and Uganda took the opportunity to send troops.

A few days ago, the group warned the Ugandans to leave Zaire, and the Ugandans probably got angry and bombarded the office building of Sunshine Star in Brea.

The fifth floor is also used as an office, a luxurious dormitory and a vault. The building is seriously damaged. Although it is protected by some joint forces, it can’t stop people’s artillery and tanks!

They destroyed the satellite phone~www.mtlnovel.com~ with a single shot. The personnel in it suffered heavy losses. Seeing that they could no longer be good, the surrender was estimated to be fatal and could only break through the encirclement.

Outnumbered, and eventually the entire army was wiped out, and even the locals who had gone to the group were hunted down.

You said it was killing people like this, so you ran out of an assistant manager who hadn’t been in the office before.

The man was a black man. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately ran away. After nine deaths, he escaped from the Ugandan army and the anti-government armed forces that cooperated with him. He passed through several checkpoints and ran out.

Finally, I contacted the group again, and the news made Zhang Nan directly annoyed!

The hundreds of kilograms of sands lost in the office’s vault and millions of dollars in cash are all trivial, but they are slapped in the face of the group!

Don’t worry about uncles and aunts, no one can bear it!
