Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 756 Stealing

Chapter 756 Stealing

After finishing a meal at Raymond's house, we chatted for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, several people hurriedly rushed back and went home.

In the next seven days, Lu Lu and others will take care of the farm affairs, help Raymond make adjustments, and then prepare and arrange their own affairs at home.

Chen Xiuyu is smart and capable, and can do well at home without Lu Lu having to say much.

He stayed at home with Chen Xiuyu and his children, watering and weeding the vegetable fields. In his spare time, he took care of his firearms and occasionally took Gouzi and Baiyu up the mountain for a spin.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the morning, Zhang Shaofeng and others gathered at Lu Lu's house as scheduled.

In addition to the brothers, there were three drivers, Lin Yulong and Meng Zhaohua, and about a dozen villagers from the village who went to help mine the pine flower stones.

At home, there was no need to take care of the deer deer farm anymore. Chen Xiuyu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. After taking care of the sixty or seventy boxes of black bees in Caodianzi, she just had to take care of the things accumulated at home and the ginseng garden behind the house.

Lu Lu went to take a special look. The six-grade leaf stick that was planted last year was probably brought back with the soil ball. The root system had not been touched, and it sprouted and grew as usual this year.

What surprised Lu Lu the most was that the "skeleton ginseng" that had been discovered but had not been touched because of a skull was still growing quite strong.

The success of the transplant gave Lu Lu hope.

Transplanting these top-notch commodities back is also a good way to accumulate wealth. It can be done.

After greeting a group of people to finish their meal, they loaded the horses and luggage up the mountain into the truck. Lu Lu and others also sat in the back compartment and started to set off. They arrived at the handicraft processing factory in the district, picked up Zhang Shunan, and rushed to Jiangxi without stopping. source.

Just like last time, the group spent the night at a state-owned car shop outside Harbin, and the next day they went straight to the old pit on the edge of the rice bowl near Wangou Town.

On the way, they just bought some daily necessities in Jiangyuan, and then the group went into the mountains.

The matter was kept very secretive. After all, this was the old pit-kou mine that many people were looking for. Once exposed, it would be too easy for locals to interfere in other people's territory.

Ordinary villagers can say that, to them, they are just stones, but for those who know the value of Songhua stones, they may have trouble, and even cause interference from local government departments, making it impossible to proceed.

Lu Lu just wanted to make a fortune in silence, and he was lucky that he was in a deep mountain forest like Qianfanpan where few people came in and out. He had to hurry up and within a few months, he could get a lot of rough Songhua stone, enough to last for a long time.

Originally, mining was not banned yet, and anyone who saw it could get some years to take back.

Lu Lu didn't intend to spend a large amount of money to get a mining license, because if he did, it might become someone else's wedding dress. The gain outweighed the loss. As a specialty, it was always valued.

In the evening of that day, the three vehicles arrived at the location of the Songhuashi Laokeng mine.

The car could not enter such a dense forest ravine, so it had to stop on an abandoned road in the forest area.

Everyone unloaded the things on the car and were led by Lu Lu to the small river. On the forest plain opposite the old pit, they chopped wood and built shacks. In the following days, they ate, drank and defecated. They're all in this shack.

While a group of people were busy building shacks, Zhang Shunan couldn't wait to come closer: "Xiao Lu, take me to see the old pit first..."

Lu Lu knew that he was anxious, so he immediately took a flashlight and led him to the section of the river where the Songhua Stone was found to take a look.

The ice and snow have already melted, and the water in the small river has become somewhat turbulent.

Before arriving at the mine, the two of them had already seen a lot of good-quality Jianglao stones in the river. They gave Zhang Shunan a surprise first: "Look carefully for these Jianglao stones, and there are also these Jianglao stones on the slopes." , it only takes two or three days to get a few trucks to transport them back..."

He said and immediately climbed up towards the dense forest on the hillside.

Obviously, he had guessed the location of the old pit.

Lu Lu also followed up and soon came to the pothole.

After walking along the steep forest stone layer for a while, in addition to large potholes, I also found several smaller ones.

Zhang Shunan pointed to those small holes and said: "These are the caves left by the older generations in the past to search for pine flower stones, and they were used to check the quality of the pine flower stones inside."

Zhang Shunan, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, didn't care about whether it was dirty or not. He shined a flashlight inside, then climbed in. After a while, he pulled out two rocks wrapped in mud shells, like crazy. Just like that, I ran to the river below, took the tools and started to peel off the mud shells.

It didn't take much effort, and the insides of the two stones were revealed.

"Look, the texture is fine, hard and moist, dark green, and there are these yellow and white silk patterns like pine needles. They are all brushed. I randomly found two pieces that fell off, like malachite. It is a rare fine product. Ah, this is just in the cave, I’m afraid it’s even worse inside the main pit... Let’s go and have a look!”

As he spoke, Zhang Shunan put down the two pine flower stones and climbed up the steep hillside in the forest. His excitement was beyond words.

Lu Lu quickly stopped him: "Uncle Zhang, if you want to enter the main pit, you have to be mentally prepared."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shunan was in a daze.

"There may have been battles here before, and there are some scattered bones in the pit..."

Lu Lu warned carefully: "It should have been bombed inside. In fact, I don't worry about anything else when mining these Songhua stones. The only thing I worry about is personal safety. I am afraid that things like collapse will cause a big accident."

"I thought you were going to say something, these are nothing... In recent years, the old pit of Songhua Stone has been rediscovered. In order to get a few pieces of Songhua Stone, I went to the old pit to work as a miner for more than two years. "

Zhang Shunan said, stretching out his hands that were covered with thick calluses and cracks: "Look at my hands, they were made like this when I was a miner. Unfortunately, after working hard for more than two years, I didn't get anything out of it." Good material, too tightly controlled.

You may not believe it, but my ancestor was once a craftsman in the palace building office, and he was engaged in this trade. My father passed down the carving and inkstone making skills to me. After all these years, I only dare to look for them in the river on weekdays. I practice my skills with a few stones, but I am afraid that I will be slapped with a hat and die... Oh, don't worry, I also have some experience in mining, don't worry, let them follow me, I guarantee that nothing will happen! "

Lu Lu didn't find it strange. There were many skilled craftsmen who, even if they were being solicited from everywhere, still chose to hide. After what they had experienced in the past few years, they were all afraid. "You have been hiding it all this time, so how did you get to know Uncle Kong?"

"Kong Siren, his ancestor was also in the office. During those years of turmoil, when he was young, he came out of the capital with the older generation. Over the years, he moved around and lived everywhere, but he still had some connections in private... Kong Siren Haven't I told you?"

"No……"

"This old guy hides really deep."

"You guys, don't you all have ancestors who came from the manufacturing office?"

"There are a few of them...there were originally some, but we have lost contact over the years. Many of them have passed away, and those who are still alive have not passed down their craftsmanship."

Lu Lu felt happy.

Where is the palace building office?Wherever the craftsmen come from, even if they have no reputation, their craftsmanship is top-notch.

These people are all real treasures!

Originally, I just wanted to get some things to sell to earn foreign exchange, but now, with such a group of skilled craftsmen, the small handicraft processing factory also has the potential to become bigger and stronger.How can it not make people happy?

The foreign exchange earning period, as the name suggests, is the period of exporting overseas to earn foreign exchange.

There are two main periods, one is from 1960 to 80, and the other is from the [-]s to the [-]s, which is the current period. Due to historical reasons, everything stopped and there was no production.

The previous period was also called the early period of foreign exchange earning. Later, more foreign exchange earning products spread in the world were mainly from the 80s and [-]s. During this period, handicrafts produced for export emerged in various places.

The foreign exchange exchanged for exports is invested in national production and construction, especially reform and opening up, which requires a large amount of foreign exchange reserves. Handicrafts have become more and more popular in recent years.

The bulk of exports are mainly porcelain, followed by cloisonné, hand carvings, lacquerware, brocade and embroidery.

Lu Lu's main specialty is hand carving, which contains many things, such as wood carvings, jade carvings, etc. Songhua stone is also called songhua jade, which is also a high-end product. As long as it is exquisite and beautiful, let alone these good things, even wood , can also become very valuable.

And this is why Lu Lu immediately received support when he went to the district to look for it, and even took the initiative to contact foreign trade companies to provide sales.

Because of the urgent need, it is also an achievement.

For Lu Lu and the district government, it is also a win-win situation, and it is naturally achieved in one fell swoop.

Zhang Shunan couldn't wait to use his flashlight and crawled in from the main pit entrance. Lu Lu also hurriedly followed, guarding him carefully.

He walked carefully in the cave with a flashlight and looked around. He just glanced at the bones and made no waves. His attention was entirely on the rocks.

"This mine is not big, but the quality of the pine stone inside is quite good and well preserved. It feels like it was opened not long ago and suddenly stopped when I was about to dig vigorously... What a treasure. ! Xiao Lu, can you take over this place?" Zhang Shunan asked with some anticipation.

Lu Lu shook his head: "You also know that this thing is scarce, and we are coming from Yichun. If this is made public, I'm afraid it won't be our turn. The people in Jiangyuan are not stupid, so naturally they will not do this. There will be a rush to do it, and once it is exposed, it is a national mineral deposit, and there is a high chance that it will be taken over and controlled. If you have been a miner and worked for more than two years, you should know the twists and turns inside. Let’s strive for it now Just get more raw materials.”

Lu Lu wanted to earn foreign exchange and make money, and others also wanted to do so. The main reason was that Lu Lu did not intend to limit himself to this. There were many materials that could be used to process handicrafts.Take advantage of the time when there is no one to take care of it. If you can, make some money first. Let’s talk about the rest later.

He just wants to accumulate more wealth so that his wife and children can stay together.

He never wanted to get involved in the business world again.

For Lu Lu, the handicraft processing factory was just an idea that came to him when he went to the mountains to see good materials. There will be a long time to come, so he can change the business strategy in due course depending on the situation.

Why spend a large and thankless amount of money when you can get something for free these days.

It depends on who is faster.

Zhang Shunan thought for a while and said regretfully: "That's true! Don't worry, we will seize the time and save more."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you... If no one stops you, continue mining. If someone interferes, then withdraw. There's a lot we can do. In such deep mountains, few people come. As long as you do it covertly, you can mine it for a long time and make a lot of money!"

Afterwards, the two wandered around the cave for a while, each carrying two squares of pine flower stones, and returned to the camp on the other side of the river.

The quarried Songhua stones have to be moved nearly three miles from the mountain where the river ditch is located before they can be loaded onto the truck. Next, this group of people will be busy.

After having a meal with everyone in the shack that was set up, Lu Lu also took the opportunity to talk to them about various precautions. He handed over the mining matters to Zhang Shunan and the transportation matters to Meng Zhaohua. He especially warned them to pay attention to safety and don't do anything. Walk around in the dry rice bowl.

The next morning, Lu Luze called Zhang Shaofeng and others, and started beating people and cutting tree bark around the shack.

The purpose is simple, to tell those who may go deep into these places that someone has already been here in advance, and to minimize the chance of outsiders breaking in.

I believe they will not break in here again after seeing the marks left by those who walked through the ravine, which can keep things hidden for a longer time.

A few people were busy with this matter for a whole day. When they returned to the shack in the evening, they saw Zhang Shunan leading more than a dozen young people to dig out a cart of rough Songhua stones and river fishing from the river and the hillside. The small stones are carried in baskets, and the large ones are carried directly by people. They have been loaded into a cart.

If this continues, in three days, these three vehicles will be able to transport Songhua Stone back for the first trip.

The next day, Lu Lu left Zhang Shunan a sum of money for living expenses, and then watched them dig and rummage in an orderly manner. He was relieved to leave the matter to them. After greeting Zhang Shunan and Meng Zhaohua, he received the money. With Zhang Shaofeng and others, they plunged into the dry rice bowl where the leaves were first green and wild vegetables and weeds had just sprouted, and they began to lift the sticks.
