A few years ago, in the African continent, there were many private gold mines that were contracted out. Every year, dozens of miners would lose their lives due to rock explosions.
Therefore, the mining plan had undergone a very big change. The owners of the mines were smart, and the mining was no longer concentrated in one place. That way, they did not have to pay compensation for the dead.
Just like Lai Wen's mine, the miners were evenly distributed in various areas of the mine, leaving more rock pillars as support. At the same time, a large-scale backfill was carried out. The crushed and extracted waste rock was transported back to the mine to fill the emptied areas.
This was a very necessary practice. After all, no support point was better than the rock itself.
In fact, there was a more important point, but this kind of small mine did not have it.
In some large mines, advanced monitoring systems were installed in the deep wells. A large number of battery-sized sensors were drilled into the rocks of the mine to form a huge monitoring network.
These sensors collected seismic signals and transmitted them to the computers on the ground. This made it convenient for geophysicists with professional knowledge to analyze the data and directly seal off the high-risk mining areas to completely eliminate the danger.
But that was for large mines. For Lai Wen's mine, what he needed to worry about the most was whether the gold mined every year could make enough money. After all, this kind of place needed to be rented.
If the local country had the ability to mine, this kind of good thing would not be their turn.
The competition for gold mining in China was unprecedentedly fierce, so more and more Chinese people came to Africa to mine for gold. Lai Wen naturally knew about this, so he also had a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made him know that the more cost saving, the more efficient it would be.
Even if there was a real danger, the people who died were not people he cared about, so he did not care.
In fact, in addition to the gold mine in Mali, Lai Wen also had other gold mining businesses.
In Ghana, he also hired gold miners. Most of Ghana's gold came from the alluvium deposits in the streams and rivers of the central rainforest, and the sand on the river banks.
Lai Wen brought a more efficient and faster production method. For the same area of mine, it would take the Ghanaians several years to mine, but the Hua Xia heavy machinery brought by Lai Wen could finish mining in half a year.
And Lai Wen had always been pursuing the quantity of gold, not the precision of farming. Once the mining situation was not good, he would immediately move to another piece of land, which broke the local gold mining rules.
Xu Yun had returned to the "Earth's surface" in the elevator. The feeling was truly enlightening.
Although this piece of land was barren, it was still much better than being underground.
As the second largest country in West Africa, the northern border of Mali was the center of the Sahara Desert. Therefore, most Malians were concentrated in the south of Mali, where the Niger and Senegal rivers originated.
Eighty percent of the country's labor force worked in agriculture, but only a small amount of land in the country was used for agriculture, perhaps only two percent.
This was definitely one of the "least developed" countries in the world. Although it wasn't the last place, the overall development of the world's countries was definitely in the top ten. If they weren't careful, they could fall into the bottom three.
There were 193 countries in the world. It was just like a class with 193 students. Even if you got 180th or 90th place in the exam, there wasn't much of a difference between the bottom 10 and the top 10. Anyone who had gone to school would know that it was just a matter of who guessed better and who guessed more wrong choices, which could lead to a change in the ranking.
Also, this place was also a place where no one was in control. Because the soldiers were dissatisfied with the pension policy, they directly ended the president's government. It was that hard!
Therefore, it wasn't strange for mercenaries to fill the streets in this country.
Xu Yun came out of the mine, but the black mercenary didn't. The other mercenaries were a bit scared.
This was called killing the chicken to warn the monkey. In Hua Xia, many leaders or people in charge liked to use this method to set up their own dignity.
Now that Xu Yun had taken out this move and used it in this place, it was definitely useful.
The mercenaries didn't know what killing the chicken to warn the monkey was. They only knew that if this "leader" dared to do this to that guy, he would also dare to do the same to them.
It was that simple. No one wanted to be the next unlucky person.
No one dared to go forward and question Xu Yun. Xu Yun went straight to the door of the best makeshift room and unceremoniously pushed the door open.
The room was obviously very clean in this kind of place, but it was also very messy.
There was a huge wooden bed with messy bedding, a tiger sofa, a coffee table, and a row of large bookshelves and cabinets opposite the bed. What surprised Xu Yun the most was that this room actually had a separate bathroom and toilet.
On the bedside table were a mess of lighters and cigarettes. On the coffee table, there were some wine, vodka, and whiskey. Some were unopened, some only had a sip, and some only had one sip left.
Xu Yun frowned and walked out of the room. When he saw a Hua Xia man working nearby, he directly said, "Call a few people over and help me clean this room. Also, arrange someone to go out and buy me a new bedding. I'm not familiar with this place."
The man was dumbfounded. He looked at Xu Yun and said blankly, "This … this is the room of each tower."
"Do you not understand human language? Facial Paralysis sent me here to manage these mercenaries, including the towers." Xu Yun said, "I should be the one living in this kind of separate room, not him."
This man was really convinced by Xu Yun's boldness. However, Hua Xia people always had a characteristic, and that was the servile nature they had when they met the strong.
Just like the man in front of him. Although he was also worried that the towers would flip out, he called a lot of people to participate based on the principle that the law couldn't punish the majority.
He did this in order not to offend the guy in front of him who seemed like he couldn't afford to offend.
For them, they only needed to work hard and earn money. As for this place, whoever had the gun would have the final say. Whoever had the ability to suppress everyone would have the final say.
Everything happened very quickly. Hua Xia people were particular about speed. Xu Yun's room was quickly tidied up. The person who bought the bedding for him also bought it back. He immediately arranged for someone to clean and dry the bedding cover.
Soon, the room looked brand new.
All the mercenaries gritted their teeth. They were all thinking about one question. Why? Why was this guy so daring? Why was this guy so audacious?
This was the room of each tower, and he actually wanted to dominate this place?!
What kind of joke was this? This was Africa. This was Mali, which didn't have a decent political power.
Xu Yun was also quite bored in this place. He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to enjoy a comfortable rest. First, the plane was bumpy all night. Although Xu Yun also rested, it was impossible for him to rest particularly comfortably.
As soon as he arrived at the mine, he had a conflict with the armed mercenaries here. He had to go down the mine, educate people, and wait for his subordinates to tidy up the room.
Now that everything was settled, Xu Yuncai could finally have a good night's sleep.
However, good times didn't last long. Xu Yun had just laid down when a loud roar of a car engine came from outside.
It seemed that someone else had come. Since he dared to drive here, it was obviously someone with some status.
However, Xu Yun couldn't care so much. At this moment, he just wanted to sleep.
