At the mine.
Dong Xuebing was still immersed in the joy of making money when Qu Yunxuan pulled him to sit on a small slope.
"Xiao Bing, you are here at the right time. I have something to discuss with you." Qu Yunxuan's beige casual pants were dirty, and she doesn't care about the dirt on the hillside. She stretched out her legs and rested. "That Old Ye, who had leased the mine to us, had approached me a few days ago. He said he wants to take back the mine, and the contract will be voided. He will compensate us for the breach of contract."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "In his dreams."
Qu Yunxuan reached out and patted Dong Xuebing's hand. "That's right. I also did not agree to it. Everyone can see that there is no better location than this mine. Under normal circumstances, it is considered good if someone can mine a few million RMB worth of Chicken-Bloodstones a year. But what about us? We had mined a few million RMB in a month. That's why I want to discuss with you. Since this mine's production is so high, can we use the 4 million RMB to lease the mine for a few more months? I know Old Ye will not agree, but it is worth it to spend more money. I want to lease the mine for the first half of the year. "
Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose and thought for a while. "Maybe there will not be any more Chicken-Bloodstones in the future?"
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "I don't think that will happen. The local experts had come over and said that this mine is not far from the main vein. It might be an extension of the main vein at the top of the mountain."
"But … …" Dong Xuebing had only seen part of the mine from the explosion. Now, Qu Yunxuan had mined most of the Chicken-Bloodstones, and Dong Xuebing was not sure what was inside the mine. Seeing is believing. No matter what the experts say, it is all theories. Dong Xuebing still believes in his own eyes.
"What's wrong? You think there is something wrong? "
"No. I am also not sure."
"Oh, you know how to look at the mine, right? Why don't you analyze the mine later? "
Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while and nodded. "Ok." He had used BACK almost 20 times these few days. It was enough for him to return to the mine after the explosion.
After chatting for a while, Qu Yunxuan stood up. "Ok. You go and check on the mine. I need to go to the toilet."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You make it sound so elegant. Isn't it just a small forest? What bathroom? Oh, I will go with you. I will guard the entrance for you."
Qu Yunxuan turned and stared at Dong Xuebing. "There is a toilet downstairs. You don't need to go."
"Oh, then pay attention to the mountain road. Don't fall."
"When did I need you to instruct me? I know. "
Back at the mining area, Dong Xuebing entered his own tunnel and observed the surroundings. Inside, two miners were drilling holes in the wall with a machine similar to an electric drill. However, this electric drill was many times longer than a household drill. As they drilled the holes, water and gravel foam flowed out.
Dong Xuebing looked at the first eye and said. "Please stop for a while."
The two miners switched off their machines and looked at him suspiciously.
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's enough. We don't need to fight anymore. Bring me to where the explosives are."
One of the miners was stunned. "We need to blow them up now? We still have not finished drilling the holes. We need at least two more holes. If not, the stones will shatter. "
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I know. Prepare the detonator, ok?"
The two miners knew this young man was close to Mr. Qu, and this mine might belong to this young man. They thought for a while, and one of them left behind the detonator wire, and the other brought Dong Xuebing out of the mine. They walked to an abandoned mine not far away to carry the explosives.
Dong Xuebing stopped him. "There's no need to dismantle the explosives. Come, let's carry all the explosives over."
The miner was stunned. "Those are not our explosives. Someone had placed them here."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I know. Are you going to follow my instructions?"
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing and the miner purposely avoided the attention of the people around them. They walked to a secluded path and slowly moved the boxes of explosives into the tunnel. The other miner was also stunned and quickly told him that they do not need so many explosives. Dong Xuebing did not know how to explain and could only force them to set up the detonator wire and detonator. After that, he carried the detonator and walked out of the tunnel.
"Little Boss, this is against the rules. There will be an accident."
"That's right. So many explosives will explode into dust. Even if we have Chicken-Blooded Stones, it will also …"
Dong Xuebing ignored the miner and pointed to the detonator. "Just press this button."
"Yes, but …"
Dong Xuebing took a few steps back and pressed the button.
Rumble! It was the sound of the mountain collapsing! The ground under Dong Xuebing's feet shook a few times! A gust of dusty air suddenly rushed out of the mine!
Many people in the vicinity were alarmed. This kind of explosion was not caused by a normal explosion. Everyone ran out to see what was going on. They wanted to know if one of the tunnels had collapsed.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"Who is it? Did they use too many explosives? "
Dong Xuebing ignored the rest. To him, every second is precious. After the dust settled, Dong Xuebing made sure the tunnel would not collapse. He took out a searchlight and walked into the tunnel. The two miners followed behind him, and some villagers and workers followed behind. But when they saw the tunnel, not only the workers and villagers, but even Dong Xuebing was shocked!
"Who threw these explosives? There are too many of them! "
"Let's not talk about that first. Look at the walls of the tunnel!"
"Huh? What happened? This is impossible! "
"There are so many stones in the tunnel! How … how come there is no blood at all? "
That's right, the walls of the mine were covered with ash and wax stones. Not only that, even the raw stones that had been blown to smithereens were not stained with blood, not even a drop of blood. After looking around, everyone was shocked to find some chicken blood on a wall that had been affected by the explosion!
Is this not the main vein? No, this is not the case. It is not uncommon for the main vein to not have any Chicken-Blooded Stones. But … … this gap is too big. The hole in the tunnel was so deep, and there is only a little blood on the outer wall? There are no other traces of blood at other places! Could it be that this tunnel is a waste mine?!
Dong Xuebing also did not expect this to happen. He was relieved. If Aunt Xuan had taken over the first half of the year, he would have lost all his 4 million RMB.
Ok! Let's go back!
Dong Xuebing calculated that there are about 5 minutes left until the explosives go off. He wanted to chant BACK 5 times, but he suddenly had an idea. If he kept chanting BACK continuously, there will be at least 1 second in between. This will be a waste, and he will feel dizzy. He can still endure it for 5 to 6 minutes, but in the future, he will need to chant BACK at least 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Does he need to chant BACK more than 10 times? He will feel dizzy. Also, he needs to confirm if the scene in front of him is what he wants. This will waste even more seconds!
That's right. Let's see if this works!
Dong Xuebing thought to himself: "BACK 5 minutes!"
… …
Dong Xuebing saw stars! Time returned!
The first thing Dong Xuebing saw was the detonator in his hand. He looked around and saw 2 miners trying to stop him.
"Little boss, this is against the rules. There will be an accident."
"That's right. So many explosives will explode. Even if there are Chicken-Blooded Stones … …"
It was 5 minutes ago!
Success! It worked!
Dong Xuebing was just trying it out and did not expect it to work. This way, he will be able to control BACK better in the future!
"Little boss!"
Dong Xuebing laughed and said to the two nervous miners: "I am just joking. Ok. Can you carry the explosives back?"
The two miners were relieved. One of them went to remove the detonator wire, and the other carried the explosives back. After packing up the explosives, the two miners returned to the entrance and were about to continue drilling.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and stopped them. "Never mind. Let's call it a day. You all go out and rest."
One of the miners asked: "But Boss Qu said to … …"
Dong Xuebing said: "I will speak to her. We will stop mining for today." There were no more Chicken-Blooded Stones, and it was pointless to continue mining. It would be a waste of manpower and resources.
After a while, Qu Yunxuan returned from the toilet. "Xiao Bing, are you the one who asked us to stop mining? What happened? "
Dong Xuebing nodded and whispered to Qu Yunxuan: "I had checked the entrance of the mine. It is not good, and there will not be any more Chicken-Blooded Stones."
Qu Yunxuan was stunned and replied in disbelief: "Impossible. There are so many Chicken-Blooded Stones, and everyone said … …"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "They had said that this is a waste mine. Aunt Xuan, trust me. I am sure it is right."
Qu Yunxuan laughed and knocked Dong Xuebing's head. "Look at you! What should we do now? If there are no more Chicken-Blooded Stones in the future, then the remaining two weeks will be wasted. Just the cost of hiring the explosives and machines will cost more than 10,000 RMB. "
Dong Xuebing had already thought of this. "Then let's stop mining. Old Ye and the rest want to take back the mine, right?"
"But … …" Qu Yunxuan hesitated and pulled Dong Xuebing back into the mine. She kept looking at the walls of the mine. "Xiao Bing, why don't we try blowing up the walls again? What if … … "
"Huh? There is no 'what if'."
"Are you sure?"
"Very sure."
"Sigh … …" Qu Yunxuan sighed. "Then let's do as you said. Sell it to Old Ye and the rest."
Dong Xuebing knew Qu Yunxuan was reluctant to let go of the mine. He tried to persuade her. "You should let go of the mine. We had doubled our initial investment, and it is only one month. We should be satisfied. Instead of losing money for another two weeks, why not sell the mine? Don't you want to set up an Auction company?"
Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "I don't need you to comfort me."
Dong Xuebing was frustrated and removed his hand from Qu Yunxuan's nose. "Aunt Xuan, can you stop touching me? If you carry on like this, I will beat you up! "Dong Xuebing used Aunt Xuan's catchphrase.
Qu Yunxuan raised her hand and pretended to hit Dong Xuebing. "Can you say it one more time? Who do you want to beat up? "
Dong Xuebing looked at Qu Yunxuan and patted her butt. "I want to beat you up."
"Pervert! You dare to hit me? "Qu Yunxuan stared at Dong Xuebing and pinched him." Impudent! I will beat you to death! "
"Ah … … I am just joking. Who asked you to touch me first?"
"Idiot! Stop right there! Don't run away! "
After laughing for a while, Dong Xuebing grabbed Qu Yunxuan's hand and stopped her from pinching him. "Alright, alright. I am sorry. Let's settle this first. Where is Old Ye?"
Qu Yunxuan slapped Dong Xuebing's thigh again. "I saw him just now. Let's go and look for him."
On the way to the other mine owned by Old Ye, Qu Yunxuan told Dong Xuebing something. "Old Ye had approached me a few times and wanted to take back his mine. But I did not agree. After that, some hooligans came to our mine to cause trouble. Luckily, I listened to you and hired a few men. If not, I will be in trouble."
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "Really?"
"Yes. I am afraid you will be worried. That's why I did not tell you."
Damn. Dong Xuebing was furious. He hated those hooligans who played dirty tricks on him!
Ten minutes later, Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan found Old Ye at the west side of the mine. He was instructing the miners to drill holes.
Qu Yunxuan said: "Let's go out and talk. I want to discuss with you about the mine."
Old Ye was stunned. He knew that the mine they rented to him had a high production rate, and the other party must want to renew the contract. Hmph! No way! When they walked out of the mine, Old Ye said: "Your contract is about to expire in about two weeks. There are only a few days left. Go and prepare the handover procedures."
Dong Xuebing stared at Old Ye in disgust. "I heard you want to take back your mine now? How much do you want to compensate for the breach of contract? "
Old Ye was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"If the price is right, we will not contract the remaining two weeks."
When Old Ye heard this, he almost laughed out loud. He didn't understand why the other party didn't continue to contract the mine. But to him, this was undoubtedly great news. Although it was only half a month, with the momentum of the Chicken-Bloodstones, it shouldn't be a problem for them to get one million Chicken-Bloodstones in half a month. "Okay. How much do you want?"
Dong Xuebing made a 7 sign with his hand. "700,000 RMB."
Old Ye shook his head. "At most 550,000 RMB."
If Old Ye had not asked the hooligans to cause trouble for his mine, Dong Xuebing might have given him some leeway. After all, whoever contracts the mine would be making losses for the next few months. Dong Xuebing could not bear it. But it was different now. "700,000 RMB. Not a cent less." Seeing Old Ye still shaking his head, Dong Xuebing did not say anything else and dragged Qu Yunxuan away.
"Eh! Wait! Let's discuss again! "
"I had already given you the price."
Old Ye smacked his lips. Although 700,000 RMB was more than half a month's contract, the mine was still worth it. There was a 90% chance that Dong Xuebing could recoup the cost. So, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fine! Deal! "
Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. You will regret this deal!
5.3 million RMB!
His total assets were more than 5 million RMB!
