The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Without the Internet, the years without Google satellite maps are so troublesome, relying on a bunch of maps to find the target. Eight?? One Chinese W≈W＝W≤. ≤8≥1≥Z≤W≤. ≤CM

And in Mumbai, he couldn't get the small-scale Canadian map he needed. Zach was lucky to find this Commonwealth Atlas. At least the maps of Canadian provinces are separated.

But the territory of Canada is a bit larger than that of China, and this scale is still big enough, so I will just use it.

However, this atlas was also turned over. Zhang Nan temporarily put the atlas aside, instead he took a huge map of the world: it was used for school teaching, or it was posted on the wall of meeting rooms and other places as a display. Kind.

Spread it out on the floor, "Brother Guan, help me find a place." He took out a note from his pocket, "64 degrees 29 minutes 57 to 59 seconds north latitude, 11 degrees 14 minutes 11 to 11.9 seconds west longitude. There should be an island surrounded by countless ice lakes."

When the other four heard what Zhang Nan said, they immediately knew that it was definitely not a good place!

Because the location of the Arctic Circle is 66 degrees and 34 minutes north latitude, the place where Zhang Nan exploded is not far from the Arctic Circle. No wonder he will go next year after this summer.

Without asking where Zhang Nan knew the coordinates, Guan Xingquan quickly drew a small cross on the map with a pencil, and everyone’s eyes fell on the map: that piece of lake is all islands and mixed lakes, even if you add them. With the marks, it is impossible to determine which island it is---the scale is still too large, and the islands and waters are drawn somewhat general.

After that, Zhang Nan said four more place names, but after Guan Xingquan he found the general location of a place name: no way, too little information, and the map is not strong.

"Forget it, let's do that first."

Quite helpless, limited by conditions.

Where did Zhang Nan come from?

Recorded in the notebook.

The latitude is easy to remember, 64 degrees and a half are less than two or three, and the longitude is 11o, and then it will die, and then it will be 12o.

It's not a memory on the Internet. I am not a memory genius and have the ability to remember. This is the same as the lottery number thanks to multiple memories.

My brother-in-law has an old classmate from the same village and clan who was originally recommended to high school, named Xiang Zhangsheng. During the special period, he had a good composition and good luck. After graduating from high school, he was sent to the Workers’ Peasants and Soldiers University to study geology.

That person would be working as a technical engineer in a state-owned diamond mine in Dongshan Province, but it is estimated that life will be difficult: I remember that the diamond mine would go bankrupt at the end of the 1980s because of poor efficiency!

The Xiang Zhangsheng had to find a way to change jobs, but he was transferred to a nearby crystal mine, and he was transferred back to the diamond mine as an engineer by his superiors around 1998 because of a new diamond mine.

Later, when he was in his fifties, he was sent to Africa by the state when he was about to retire. It was regarded as reserved to help the little brother build a modern diamond mine. When I officially retired at the age of 6o, this body also suffered from minor problems because of the old work in the field all the year round.

The retirement salary was very high, coupled with a little savings, the man was killed and no longer kept for use. He returned to his hometown and returned to his roots. As a result, the house he bought was opposite to his brother-in-law's new house.

My brother-in-law has retired for several years (people and professional drivers who want to work in the field are all four-level occupations, and males are retired at 55 years old, according to the old Chinese regulations.), I'm all right to study and turn to Huang Lashi.

In addition, Zhang Nan, the younger brother-in-law who had already had a better life at the time, joined Xiang Zhangsheng, who had few friends in his hometown, and when they were free, the three of them drove to the sand field and the river beach to find treasure.

Zhang Nan didn't learn how to identify diamonds because he didn't have practical experience, but I read a lot of Kimberley rock specimens and books about diamond mining, because there are so many Zhang Zhangsheng.

Of course, I also heard a lot of things about diamond mines. I thought I was listening to stories at the beginning, and many of them were personally experienced by the big brother Xiang.

He often said that Canada is lucky to die. It has become the world's largest diamond producer in more than ten years, and there is also Australia.

After several years of confusion, a map of the distribution of the world's diamond mines hanging in Xiang Zhangsheng's house can almost be memorized, and you can tell one, two, three with your eyes closed.

The location I mentioned earlier was even more impressive. Who made the Xiang Zhangsheng make a jingle: "11o? Someone is dying, and I will send 12o...Unfortunately, the person died before 12o. "

After listening to it a few more times, I remembered it, and by the way, I also remembered the latitude.

Guan Xingquan, who finished marking here, straightened up and said, “That’s the only way to go. After going to Canada to get detailed geographic data and information, we can analyze the specific locations. After that, we will send professional personnel to form an expedition team to conduct the preliminary grounding. It can be confirmed by inspection."

There is no formalities for the preliminary inspection, and no one is seen in places where birds do not shit, so who will care for you!

"Brother Guan, professional."

"Don't talk, Huaxia's gold detection is the responsibility of the army. You Guan, I have acquaintances, and I know a little bit about it.

But Anan, you have to find a reliable professional. We are all laymen. And even if the second location has an approximate location, this is next to the expedition team, and it won't be possible within a few months. "

Guan Xingquan's meaning is very simple: Zhang Nan absolutely refuses to use himself as a geological team member who sleeps in the air, and finds someone, unless Zhang Nan goes crazy on his own!

Zhang Nan is not crazy!

"Brother Guan, can you determine the first location?"

"As long as the island you are talking about is half a square kilometer, you can't run it. It's easy to find."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan looked at Nicole.

Nicole took a look and said, "Can you get it done?"

This is "the tone you ask me if I can handle it".

"Um."

"As long as it's not private land, $50 million, it's enough to buy that piece of land and the four-year exploration right, and you can get the mining right for the next 20 years. If it's privately owned, you have to think of other ways, than Dealing with the Canadian government is a lot more troublesome."

Speaking of this, Nicole thought again and said, "I guess, 50,000 should be the absolute upper limit. It belongs to the Northwestern Province of Canada. The place is remote to death. The Canadian government and the Northwestern Province have been encouraging the development of minerals in that area. I read it when I was studying.

However, the specific situation is not clear for the time being. I have to go back and ask professional lawyers. There are lawyers in New York who specialize in dealing with Canadians. "

Well, American lawyers have so many abilities that they are not only useful for single lawsuits.

Speaking of this, Jenny on one side asked: "Ellen, how big is the mine estimated to be?"

"Three percent of the world's gem-quality diamond production, at least."

Well, that is at least US$1.2 billion a year for rough diamonds, with a net profit of at least half of them, not counting the high-quality part of the 40% of rough diamonds that Zhang Nan will master by then.

Sixty percent of the output to Indians is for a stable shipping channel. Leaving aside Delbis, this part will be shipped at the normal market price. Indians have not done nothing for so many years. They have already had their own products. Goods channels.

The remaining 40% can be maneuvered. Big diamonds can be directly given to jewelers at high prices, or they can get their own diamond brand or something. Anyway, designers and processors have money to dig at will.

Small diamonds can be traded at more and more diamond exchanges, and those jewelers will also come to buy them. Anyway, there is no need to worry about mines!

Nicole thought for a while, "That is a net profit of at least 600 million yuan a year. Even if you invest 100 million yuan, you will be able to pay back more than a year after industrial mining. It may not require that much investment. It is not necessarily worth it. Back to New York."

"Why, you are leaving?"

Nicole said with a smile: "It's about to come July, and the summer in Northwestern Canada is very short. I have to settle the legal affairs at least before August. How can I have time to be the emperor of Kaohsiung? .

And it's not just me, but Jenny also has to go, I can't play this alone, I want Jenny to be a helper. "

Jenny on one side completely agreed with Nicole's words. Zhang Nan estimated that the two would be leaving in a hurry this time. Time constraints were only one of the reasons. It is estimated that wanting to find an excuse to leave India, which has no food, is the most important reason.

Well, if you ran, you ran away: If you hadn't gone to the temple for on-the-spot investigation, and had promised others to be a guest, such an opportunity must not be let go, Zhang Nan himself wanted to run.

It's so uncomfortable!

On this trip to India, Zhang Nan immediately moved things away without even thinking about it: there were too many people there, and there was no possibility of “seasonal closing of temples for renovations”, which was basically used in Berchtesgaden. It doesn't work, this time I came to find a way.

If you don't check it on the spot, everything is empty talk, because you are not a human being.

Nicole is not over yet, and continues: "Ellen, you can't be idle either. You have to find a reliable field geological team within a month, and at least one and a half months at the latest. At least a few people who understand pedestrians must take the lead. People can make do with it.

In that place, I can only use helicopters and seaplanes as transportation tools for the time being. In summer, the ice lakes will basically melt, and other transportation methods cannot be counted on. You must show the Indians the rock samples you have before the winter comes in January.

If I go to find it and it’s not easy to get it right, the headhunting company we contacted doesn’t have anything to do with geological mining at all. It usually consists of management and service personnel. The miners are too far away.

If you find a new company to cooperate, security and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. "

Nicole is gone: she and Jenny are not humans either.

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are also thinking about this issue: the first batch of personnel participating in the inspection must be reliable, and the detection of the first exact location is just the easiest job for those people. As long as the formalities are completed first, outsiders will know it. Can only stare. The fixed-point work in the following places is the focus, and confidentiality must be done well, and the mouth must be strict!

Guan Xingquan was thinking about finding someone from Huaxia's prospecting troops, but Xiang Weirong thought of one.

"I have someone in the same village..."

Xiang Weirong was talking about the Xiang Zhangsheng Zhang Nan "acquainted" with. During the Chinese New Year last year, Xiang Weirong met an old classmate who went home to visit relatives. He knew from chatting that his current job was a bit unsatisfactory.

"...I don't think he should think about changing jobs, he can work for you directly."

Hearing what the brother-in-law said, Zhang Nan said: "Can you come?"

"The mine is about to go bankrupt, and a few yuan of wages are in arrears every month. You arrange for him to live abroad after he goes abroad, and then give him 20,000 yuan as a settlement allowance. When he comes out to get the salary of an American engineer, that kid I promise to sell my life to you!"

This is also true. It doesn’t need to be too much. The monthly salary of US$300.00 is equal to his salary for 10 years!

Guan Xingquan on one side also said: "Then I will go back to the country. I have known a few people from the Northwest Geological Troops. There will also be major disarmament. I will go back to my hometown and go back to my hometown. I will dig and dig it. I have to spend money on it. Come here."

After this discussion, everyone has to act immediately.

Nicole and Jenny are going back to the United States. Zhang Nan can't worry that they will go back on their own. Zach and Paul are leaving together, so they have to book their tickets as soon as possible.

Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong will fly directly to Shanghai in China, which is the fastest. They also need to book a ticket and go for a visa.

Yes, the two of them are "African Chinese" and their passports are real, but they didn't bring a Chinese passport to India. Of course, they had to go to the Chinese Consulate General in Mumbai to knock a stamp.

It's just a cutscene. Later, the two of them will go to the Huaxia Consulate General, and they will use the phone to make a call to the capital. The seals are all right.

You have to call New York right away to see if there is time to transfer a few bodyguards: When the people on both sides are gone, Zhang Nan will leave 4 bodyguards and a cook beside him.

Now that his worth has been exposed, he has to go to the "rural places" in India. This seems to be a little less manpowered.

"It doesn't need much, just transfer Lin Ming, Wenbo, Qiu Bo, and Chen Hao, and let Lin Ming follow you. It works better than Alyosha here."

After listening to her brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan said strangely: "Alyosha is not very good."

Alyosha is very good, one stop behind Zhang Nan, with a proper aura and avoiding idlers!

Guan Xingquan on one side said, "I can only listen and speak Hindi, but Lin Ming can write."

Well, besides being a freak, that guy is a foreign language talent!

New York is far from Mumbai~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if Lin Ming and the others get on the plane within two hours, it is a question of whether they can arrive at Mumbai Airport before 12 noon tomorrow-they only have 18 hours at most.

Luckily, there will be a flight to Paris from New York Airport in 1 hour and 40 minutes, and tickets are still available. Two hours after the flight arrived in Paris, an Air France passenger plane flew directly to Mumbai, and tickets were also available.

Lin Ming left the Long Island Manor in a few ten minutes and arrived at the airport in more than half an hour. There was still 15 minutes before boarding.

Thank you for this era of a kind of airliner called Concord. Lin Ming and the four of them will not only enjoy twice the sound treatment over the Atlantic Ocean, but also take back several hours!

Went to say hello to Singh. Their police team will need to make two trips to the airport tomorrow morning, because Nicole's four will leave the hotel at 7:30 in the morning, and Zach's two brother-in-laws will have their weapons. Stay in India.

You can't bring guns on ordinary international airliners, just leave it to Lin Ming and the others.

As soon as the four of Nicole returned to New York, Liu Wendong and Davis naturally went back to pick up the plane.
