Yan Rong was very efficient, and soon good news came.

The private mine owner was worried that a jade mine worth more than 30 billion kyats was stuck in his hands, which was a huge blow. He couldn't eat for the past six months and lost a lot of weight.

He was happy that someone was willing to take over this mess, even if it was at a low price, so he could at least recoup some of his investment.

However, during negotiations, he would definitely try to present his mine in a positive light, and he immediately made an outrageous demand for 15 billion kyats.

Yan Rong wasn't one to be trifled with either; he immediately got up and left.

The mine owner quickly and kindly persuaded Yan Rong to stay.

"Let me be frank with you, this mine is not what I want. I am here to talk to you on behalf of a foreign friend. To be honest, this mine is worthless to me, but he insists on buying it, so there is nothing I can do."

"I can offer a maximum of 3.5 billion kyats for your mine. If you think that's reasonable, we'll sign the contract." Yan Rong said directly without any hesitation.

Yanrong's expectation was around 5 billion, but when buying things, you have to push the price down as much as possible before you can negotiate.

Upon hearing that it was 3.5 billion, the other party exclaimed that it was impossible.

“Impossible. I spent 35 billion kyats on this mine. You want to take it away for 3.5 billion? That’s ten times less. That won’t do. You have to add a little more.”

"Then keep it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's not like you're the only one with abandoned mines. I can just buy from another one." Yan Rong stuck to the price, but he could tell the other person was starting to waver.

Sure enough, he immediately agreed after hearing this.

The mine owner gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Thirty-five it is, I'll sell!" At least he could recoup one-tenth of his costs.

It seems this period of time has been extremely difficult for him.

"Tomorrow morning, at the same time, I'll come to sign the contract. Then we'll settle the payment and goods." Yan Rong's face was serious, but he was secretly overjoyed.

The project was originally expected to cost 5 billion kyats, but it was only 3.5 billion kyats.

Luo Yunhang and Miao Cuihua were also pleasantly surprised to learn of the result.

Based on this calculation, Miao Cuihua, with two shares, only needs to contribute 700 million kyats, while Luo Yunhang and Yan Rong each hold four shares, contributing 1.4 billion kyats each.

1.4 billion kyats is equivalent to more than 5.3 million RMB, which is not a lot for most people.

Miao Cuihua only spent a little over two million.

In addition, Luo Yunhang also negotiated a deal with the abandoned mine that Yan Rong had mentioned. When the mine owner heard that Yan Rong wanted to buy it, he even planned to give it away for free.

Yan Rong insisted on paying him. In his view, business is business, and only by not showing personal feelings can it last.

In the end, they asked for 100 million kyats. The mine wasn't very big to begin with, and more than half of it had already been mined, leaving only about a third of it.

One hundred million kyats is about three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand yuan, which is quite a good deal.

The three immediately drafted a contract to jointly mine the abandoned mine, with all initial investments made according to their respective shareholdings.

Miao Cuihua's investment this time can be considered her private investment, and has nothing to do with Biyunge Jade Company.

At that moment, the two were just trying it out and had no idea that it would be the best decision they would ever make.

Miao Cuihua, on behalf of the two, transferred the money from the foreign exchange account to Yan Rong.

The collaboration has officially begun.

Yan Rong quickly secured ownership of the mine.

The next step is the formal mining operation.

Miao Cuihua still has a lot of things to deal with back home, so she has to go ahead first. She will leave the rest of the matters here and let Luo Yunhang handle them on her behalf.

They also kept Chen Hao around, just in case anything happened, he could help Luo Yunhang. They took all the other bodyguards with them.

Yan Rong kept his word and provided Miao Cuihua with a batch of high-quality raw stones at the lowest possible price, meaning Yan Rong barely made any money.

Regarding the mining of abandoned mines, Luo Yunhang has his own plan. In the early stages, he doesn't need too many people; just a few trustworthy jade miners will suffice.

He wanted to make a fuss first, to let Yan Rong know that trusting him was the right thing to do.

Yan Rong followed his idea and arranged for five jade miners to go there and begin the secret excavation.

Luo Yunhang also sent Chen Hao to patrol and guard the mine to prevent anyone from investigating.

Luo Yunhang knew the entire vein's layout perfectly. He found the mining site closest to the jade mine and had his men start digging.

Without thinking too much, just dig deeper. After another two or three meters, you'll see a large jade mine.

The jade miners received orders from Yan Rong to follow Luo Yunhang's commands, so no matter how strange they found it, they strictly carried out Luo Yunhang's orders.

Working together, the group dug a tunnel about the height of a person into the mine wall. It took them almost a week to dig it to a depth of more than two meters.

Luo Yunhang ate, lived, and worked alongside them every day. He was practically moldy from the experience. The only reason was that this kind of life was just too monotonous. He didn't know how these jade miners could endure the monotonous mining life day after day, year after year.

The food and drink were simple, and the accommodations were also basic; they basically slept on the ground and used the sky as their blanket.

Every day I'm covered in dust and grime, and there's no joy in my life.

If you encounter a good mine owner, life is a little easier; but if you encounter a malicious mine owner, things can get really bad.

"A jade mine has been found! A jade mine has been found!" A sudden shout interrupted Luo Yunhang's thoughts.

Because the mine was relatively narrow, the six of them were divided into two groups to work. Two people dug inside, and one person was responsible for shoveling the soil out. They took turns every half hour so that everyone could get a rest.

Upon hearing that a jade mine had been discovered, everyone was overjoyed and stood up excitedly. However, they all wisely refrained from stepping forward and instead looked at Luo Yunhang.

Luo Yunhang, holding a flashlight, followed the jade miner who had just delivered the message into the mine.

"Look, the purple streaks on this stone are definitely jadeite rough." The jade miner shone his flashlight on a cracked section of the rough stone.

A beautiful purple halo appeared before everyone's eyes. What a beautiful violet color! This rough stone is a genuine piece, and the quality is quite high.

Another jade miner shouted, "Another piece!"

Although he already knew that a jade mine would be found, Luo Yunhang was still incredibly excited when he actually saw it.

"Brothers, let's work hard! I'll give you a special treat today!" Luo Yunhang said happily, patting the stone in his hand.

"Haha, thank you, boss."

…

Everyone happily continued working.

Luo Yunhang told Chen Hao to stay behind and continue mining, while he drove back to report the news.

When he arrived, Yanrong provided him with a car for easy access.

Luo Yunhang didn't have time to tidy himself up; he'd gotten used to it over the past few days. He just wiped his hands and drove back, looking disheveled.

"Mr. Yanrong, good news!" Luo Yunhang shouted with a loud laugh before even stepping into the study.

"Oh? What good news?" Yan Rong came out of the study.
