Hearing this, Liu Zhentao was immediately relieved and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In fact, for Yang Jing, this jade mine was just an idea that suddenly came to him. He got two jade mines from Myanmar, and then suddenly realized that he had jade mines, but he didn't have the top Hetian jade mine in China. This was a bit unreasonable. So Yang Jing, who was transformed into Cole Smith, went to Xinjiang and finally got the 70-year contract for this jade mine.

Although this jade mine is very valuable, it is nothing to Yang Jing. If it weren't for Liu Zhentao, he wouldn't have come all the way here. It's so comfortable to stay at home in this weather.

But since we are here, we should take good care of the industry here. At least the contract for this mine needs to be extended. It's just a matter of investing money. If money can solve the problem, it's not a problem.

After eating a meal of wild game, Yang Jing and his group stayed in the mining area for about two hours before returning to Hotan by car.

The next day, Yang Jing asked his secretary to contact the relevant officials of the Hotan Prefecture Administrative Office and scheduled a meeting with the Commissioner of the Hotan Prefecture Administrative Office for the next morning. Then he called Wang Jian and others together to discuss the renovation of the mining area road and increasing the mining area's output.

In fact, whether it is renovating the 64-kilometer mining road, increasing mining output, or even extending the mining period of the contracted mining area, the core content is actually only one, that is, money.

Renovating the mining area road does not require large-scale changes to the road foundation, so the cost of renovating the road is not too much. In addition, now that all construction is mechanized, the renovation speed will definitely be very fast, so this is the fastest thing to implement. As long as Yang Jing signs and approves the funds, this work can be carried out at any time.

As for the issue of increasing mining output, that is easier to say. Renovating the road will involve a lot of external matters, but as for increasing the output of one's own mining area, as long as the equipment arrives, the remaining work is to recruit more miners, which is very simple.

As for negotiating with the local government to extend the contract period for the jade mine, this was somewhat troublesome. If Yang Jing went to negotiate directly with a group of secretaries, he would probably be ripped off.

Now Hetian jade mines are extremely scarce. Ordinary people can't even get mining rights, even if you are rich, you probably can't find a way. If there is no local to lead the way, it is really difficult to do this. It is not the time thirty years ago. At that time, if you had money, especially if you had a green Franklin, you could do almost anything, but now it is different.

Yang Jing's identity is no secret at the top, but for these grassroots officials, they don't care who you are. If you want to extend the contract period of the jade mine, that's fine, but you have to come up with something that will attract the local government.

It can be said with certainty that if Yang Jing rashly went to negotiate, as an outsider, and a very wealthy one at that, he would certainly be ripped off. If you don't want to be ripped off, you don't have to mention the contract term, we can still do it as usual. But since you want to negotiate a new contract, it's different.

From the government's perspective, it is understandable that they do this. Mineral resources belong to the country, and they are precious mineral resources such as Hetian jade. Of course, the government departments must sell them at a high enough price. If you sell less, are you worthy of those Hetian jades?

Fortunately, Yang Jing had a local boss who had lived in Hotan for more than 20 years. Wang Jian was not a big shot in the Dragon Fund, but in Hotan, he was a big shot. Apart from anything else, at least he had a very good relationship with local government officials over the years. He could not just walk into the office of the Commissioner of the Administrative Office, but if he proposed to discuss something with the Commissioner of the Administrative Office, the Commissioner of the Administrative Office would have to make time to meet with Wang Jian.

Especially since he is still the mine manager of the jade mine. Although the ownership is not his, no one can say anything else if he participates in the negotiations...
