Yang Jing looked at this middle-aged man in his forties and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When Yang Jing came to Xinjiang Province in the guise of Cole Smith, he had a very good chat with Wu Dawei along the way. Although Wu Dawei didn't do very well in the gold rush, he had been the sales director for many years and was very good at dealing with people. If Peter Wu hadn't done a good job, Yang Jing really wanted to promote Wu Dawei to the head of the Huaxia branch.

It is said that nephews love their uncles, and this saying is fully reflected in Wang Jian. To be honest, Wang Jian, as a nephew, looks 80% similar to his uncle Wu Dawei. When Yang Jing first met Wang Jian, he thought he had traveled back to the late 1980s.

Moreover, Wang Jian's personality is very similar to Wu Dawei's. He is cheerful but also calm, and a very good person in charge.

"Old Wang, you are most familiar with this place, so please introduce this mining area to us." Yang Jing said to Wang Jian.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, Madam Yang." Wang Jian nodded, pointed to the area in front of him and drew a circle in the air, and continued: "The area that Mr. Yang drew just now is correct. Our mining area is within this area. However, the mining area is a mining area, and the area where jade is actually produced is not that large."

Wang Jian pointed to the hillsides on both sides of the river valley and said, "In the past few years, our mining area has also conducted several careful surveys. More than ten years ago, we have identified three jade-producing belts in this mining area, with a total of 18 mining sites. These three jade-producing belts together constitute the entire mining area, which is 760 meters wide and more than 1,500 meters long. The interval between each jade-producing belt is about 300 meters. The average width of each jade-producing belt is 5.4 meters and the average thickness is 4.9 meters! This is a highly productive Hetian jade-enriched mine, a super-enriched mine with richer reserves than the four old Hetian jade mines! It is really hard for me to imagine how Mr. Smith discovered this jade mine among the mountains back then."

Yang Jing and Gege looked at each other, smiled slightly and said nothing.

Wang Jian obviously admired Cole Smith very much. "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, you two may not know that although there are extremely rich reserves of Hetian jade in the Kunlun Mountains, most of the mining areas are located in the high mountains in the south. Those areas are difficult for humans to reach. They are absolutely uninhabited areas. So even if we know that there are rich reserves of Hetian jade there, there is really no way to mine them."

"Of the four most famous Hetian jade mines in Kunlun Mountain, the westernmost one, the Mildaishan jade mine, is located in the upper reaches of the Qipan River in Yecheng, Kashgar. The two middle jade mines are the Agujugai jade mine in Hetian and the Alamasi jade mine in Yutian. All three jade mines are surrounded by mountains. The Mildaishan jade mine, which has the lowest altitude, is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, making it extremely difficult to mine."

"Among the four major Hetian jade mines, only the Tatleksu jade mine, located at the foot of the Altun Mountains about 65 kilometers southeast of Qiemo County, has relatively good conditions. The mine is only more than 1,000 meters above sea level and is not located in the mountains, so the mining conditions are very convenient. The reason why the Tatleksu jade mine can become the first of the four major jade mines is also directly related to its convenient geographical conditions."

"The reason why I admire Mr. Smith is that the Hetian jade mine he found, although not as good as the Tatleksu jade mine in terms of geographical conditions, is also extremely rare. However, our mine is much higher than the Tatleksu jade mine in terms of reserves and jade quality. It's just that our mine has not been mined on a large scale, so it is not well-known. If the jade produced by this mine is circulated in the Hetian jade market, I estimate that the four major Hetian jade mines will have to be renamed as the five major Hetian jade mines! In fact, our mine is a priceless treasure mine!"

Yang Jing and Gege were delighted by this. Who wouldn't want to hear such good words? Although Yang Jing discovered this mine and he knew the scale of this mine, he had only seen the rarely visited Agujugai jade mine in the sky. He had never seen the other three jade mines. How could he know how much better his mine was than the other three mines?

Wang Jian's words gave Yang Jing the most direct understanding of his own jade mine.

"Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, there is a jade-producing belt on each of the hillsides on the left and right sides of this valley. The jade-producing belt on the northern hillside has a total of six mining points, and the jade-producing belt on the southern hillside has seven mining points. At the bottom of the valley right in front of us, there is another jade-producing belt with five mining points." Wang Jian pointed to different locations in the mining area and continued to introduce.

Gege asked curiously, "Manager Wang, you said there is a jade belt at the bottom of the valley, but there are buildings everywhere. Doesn't that mean the mines are occupied? How can we mine it then?"

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Mrs. Yang, you may not know the mining strategy formulated by Mr. Smith. After Mr. Smith contracted this area, he formulated a mining strategy for the next 30 years, which is not to carry out large-scale mining, and the annual mining volume only needs to maintain the needs of the jade carving factory. Therefore, the only mining point we are mining now is the one on the northern hillside, and the other 17 of the 18 mining points in the entire mining area have not been moved. Moreover, most of the buildings at the bottom of the valley are simple buildings, which are very convenient to dismantle. Once large-scale mining is carried out, these simple houses can be quickly moved away."

Gege was a little puzzled, and Yang Jing explained: "You also know what my master does. The Taoist skills he learned are not a joke. When I met my master last year, he told me about this jade mine. He said that this jade mine was actually left to me. Thirty years ago, before I was born, he had already figured out something, that is, this jade mine cannot be mined on a large scale during his lifetime, otherwise bad things will happen, because the master said that he can't suppress certain inexplicable things. Therefore, this mine has been mined on a small scale. But before leaving, the master also clearly told me that once he left, he would take away those inexplicable things, and there would be absolutely no problem for future generations to mine this mine on a large scale."
