Chapter 115 Withdrawal

Zeng Xiangdong set off firecrackers at the mine to celebrate the start of work.

He entered the mine and stared at the end of the "elephant's foot". The main vein had obviously been hollowed out here, but Zhu Jian was obviously unwilling to give up. He used directional blasting to drill deeper into the mine to a depth of nearly two meters.

This also saved Zeng Xiangdong a lot of trouble. There was no need to use explosives to clear the way. The rocks here had been loosened by blasting, so they could just dig with manpower.

He lit a cigarette, sat in a chair, looked at the empty mine, listened to the "clang clang" sounds of mining, and began to murmur in his heart, feeling extremely nervous.

Fu Yong stood beside him, with a chain hanging from his belt connected to a scabbard, in which was inserted a three-foot-long Japanese samurai sword.

Fu Yong put one hand on his waist and the other on the hilt of his knife, and said with a wry smile, "Boss Zeng, why are you so desperate to buy this mine? For three hundred thousand, you can buy a much better mine than this."

Zeng Xiangdong sighed, puffing out smoke and said, "I don't know either. Wenjie insisted that I buy it."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yong said, "Boss Zeng must have his reasons. Although this mine is a bit wasteful, it will definitely pay off."

Hearing that it was Zeng Wenjie who wanted to buy it, Fu Yong immediately changed his tone.

This made Zeng Xiangdong feel helpless. It seemed that his son was more famous in the town than he, the father.

But he is a father after all, so he will definitely not be jealous of his son for this. He would rather wish that his son could be as outstanding as possible.

After smoking a cigarette, the miner had already dug more than one meter deep.

"Gold is coming out! Gold is coming out! There's a gold vein inside!"

"So many gold nuggets, all set in stone. Boss Zeng has become rich!"

“Is the money really withdrawn?!”

At this moment, there was a burst of shouting from the other end.

Zeng Xiangdong heard the noise, threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and ran over.

After a closer look, I found gold. The gold was in the form of granules, scattered or densely distributed on the ore, extending inward...

Seeing this, Zeng Xiangdong's scalp suddenly went numb. Judging from his experience, this was definitely a major gold vein. Judging from its shape, if the whole vein was dug out, it would probably weigh no less than five or six hundred kilograms!

Fu Yong couldn't help but run over to take a look, then said in astonishment, "It really is paying out!"

Zeng Xiangdong said, "Everyone, work harder. If you dig out more today, I'll give each of you a 2,000 yuan red envelope later!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the miners became overjoyed. They dug ore vigorously and threw the ore into the bucket beside them.

Zeng Xiangdong felt so happy that his scalp was numb and his whole body couldn't help shivering. He never thought that one day he would be able to use a bucket to carry gold!

But no matter how excited he was, he remained calm. With so much gold ore, he had to see it with his own eyes.

He took out his cell phone with trembling hands and called Zeng Wenjie. Fortunately, the mine was relatively shallow and there were two bars of signal.

"The money has been withdrawn. I estimate it's several hundred kilograms..." Zeng Xiangdong said in a trembling voice as soon as he got through the phone.

Zeng Wenjie on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If we keep half of the gold we dig out and sell the other half, we can do a lot of things!"

Zeng Xiangdong suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, I'll go get busy first. I'll talk to you when I'm done!"

After a whole afternoon, several buckets of gold were dug out. Zeng Xiangdong immediately started operating the sand blasting machine in the mine to crush the ore and then wash it on the spot.

The news of gold being discovered in this mine spread like wildfire. I had just washed a bucket of gold and hadn't even had time to pass it over a magnet when someone came to get it.

One of them was Ding Changshou and the other was Zhu Jian.

When Ding Changshou saw the bucket full of gold, he was dumbfounded. He sat down on the ground and almost burst into tears!

He once dreamed that he made a fortune in this mine. He thought that he would be rich just by taking the commission from bargaining. However, he never expected that he would miss out on huge wealth.

Zhu Jian was also confused, his body went limp and he almost fell down.

"This... Boss Zeng, is this the gold from my mine?" Zhu Jian asked.

"Sorry, it's the gold from my mine!" Zeng Xiangdong said to Zhu Jian with a smile.

Zhu Jian felt thunder rumbling in the sky, his face as stiff as if petrified. He muttered, "There's so much gold in here?!"

Zeng Xiangdong shrugged and said, "I don't know. I'll just follow where you fired the blaster and drill in about a meter deep, and then I'll find the gold mine. Hey, Boss Zhu, you're a good man. You'll definitely make a fortune in the future!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Jian was almost fainted from anger.

The men sent by Wu Hongwu stood next to the bucket of gold, looking at the newcomer coldly, with his right hand on his lower back.

Sanbai, Fu Yong, Lao Li and the thugs hired from the town were also extremely alert, their eyes scanning around, and with knives in their hands, they looked quite intimidating.

Zhu Jianqiang smiled and said, "Boss Zeng, are you going to sell this gold?"

Zeng Xiangdong shook his head and said, "I won't sell it for now. I'll take it back and purify and smelt it myself first. If you're interested, come back and buy it then."

Zhu Jian smiled bitterly repeatedly. Zeng Xiangdong noticed that there was blood on his lower lip, which was bitten.

Obviously, Zhu Jian was regretting it to the core!

"It's getting late, please go back. We need to finish our work early." Zeng Xiangdong ordered them to leave and pointed down the mountain.

The group of people who came to watch the fun or had ulterior motives returned in embarrassment, and as they went down the mountain, they could not help but whisper to each other.

Now, Zeng Xiangdong and Zeng Wenjie, father and son, are no longer enemies, but Zhu Jiancheng has become the biggest enemy!

Zhu Jian was already freaking out. So much gold had been mined in just one afternoon. Could it be more than the gold he had mined before?!

Mining for gold also depends on luck. The gold in some mines is very dense and can be mined quickly; the gold in some mines is more scattered and difficult to mine. You have to dig slowly by "surrounding the elephant's foot" or even use cannons to blast the gold.

There is no doubt that the new gold vein that Zeng Xiangdong has dug out now belongs to the former, and it will be mined in a few days.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zeng Xiangdong asked everyone to go home. He stayed at the mine and arranged for Fu Yong, Sanbai and several relatives to stay behind to prevent theft and robbery.

"Everyone is not optimistic about this mine. How does Boss Zeng know that it will definitely make money?" Sanbai couldn't help but ask Fu Yong curiously.

"I don't know. Boss Zeng is a college student and very smart! If you want to know, go ask him." Fu Yong shrugged and said.

"I heard that your niece has a good relationship with Boss Zeng. It would be most reliable to ask her to ask." Sanbai came up with a bad idea.

Fu Yong glared at him and said nothing more.

Zeng Xiangdong handed out a pack of cigarettes to each of the remaining personnel and said, "Everyone, work hard and keep your eyes open! I will try to mine all the gold in three to five days. Thank you for your help."

"Boss Zeng, you're too polite. With me, Sanbai, here, not even a mosquito can fly in." Sanbai said, patting his chest.

Although he is a bad boy, he is also the kind of person who will do things for money.

Zeng Xiangdong nodded, sat on the bamboo stool at the door of the shack, and fetched his phone to call Zeng Wenjie...
