Chapter 672 Visiting the Heyu Base
Leng Ning chatted with Yang Qiang for a while.
After Yang Gang brought the space jade to Leng Ning, Yang Qiang set out with Lei Ting and Lei Ning to visit the quarry of the Heyu base.
It was only when he followed Yang Gang into the quarry that Leng Ning discovered that the Heyu base was actually built at the entrance of the quarry.
After walking less than 300 meters inside, we found the entrance to the mine.
"Before the end of the world, Jiang City was a major jade-producing city. Among them, our town and Yu Town are the towns with the most jade mines in Jiang City," Yang Qiang introduced.
"This mine was discovered late, and it has only been less than a year and a half since the official start of quarrying."
"It's a rare good mine with a large area. It took a long time to prepare for the start of work." Yang Qiang said with a smile.
"At that time, there were no less than 2,000 people working in the mine, including miners, odd jobs, and logistics personnel. What a pity—"
"When the apocalypse came, some people turned into zombies, and the mine suddenly became a mess."
"If we hadn't decisively taken extraordinary measures at that time, the Heyu base would probably not have been built." Thinking back to the tragic situation that happened at that time, Yang Qiang still feels a little uncomfortable.
Many of the people who died were his subordinates or familiar colleagues. He often dreamed of the scenes of working with everyone in the mine.
"How many people are there in you and the Jade Base now?" Leng Ning asked curiously.
This jade mine is so large, if it is all mined, how much jade will be produced! The more jade there is, the more space jade artifacts there will be.
"There are still 927 people." Yang Qiang replied.
"Only 530 people were the ones who worked with me in the mine before. The rest were either their family members or refugees."
Right now they rely on this mine to feed more than 900 people in the base.
Leng Ning nodded.
“The population is not small.”
"Is it in a state of suspension now?" Leng Ning asked.
He glanced at the equipment placed not far away, which looked like it had not been used for a long time.
"Yes. But we can resume production at any time. The equipment and manpower are ready." Yang Qiang said.
"Then let's recover as soon as possible. Our Thunder Base will take as much as you produce." A sharp light flashed in Leng Ning's eyes.
If the number of space jade artifacts can continue to increase, then the Leng family will be able to expand as many businesses as they want.
Of course, the vegetable base can also be expanded, and at the same time, the Human Resources Department must recruit more wood-type mutants.
"Haha, that's easy." Yang Qiang said with a smile.
“However, you still have to inform us in advance when placing an order. Stone cutting makes a lot of noise, so we have to control the amount of stone cutting each day,” Yang Qiang continued.
Leng Ning was stunned.
"Please follow me." Yang Qiang continued to lead the way.
"Yeah." Leng Ning hurried to follow.
"This is the stone-cutting factory. There are fifteen factory buildings in total, all filled with stone-cutting machines." Yang Qiang said as he pushed open the door of a factory building.
"Because of the excessive noise, for the safety of the base, we now only run a maximum of five machines a day, and we will suspend them at any time if we find something is wrong."
Leng Ning and Lei Ting followed him in and soon saw the large cutting equipment inside.
Although the machine is not turned on now, Leng Ning can imagine the harsh sound it will make when it is turned on.
She had seen this kind of machine on TV before the end of the world. It used electricity to make a large disc blade rotate rapidly to cut the stone. It was a hard collision and produced a lot of noise.
Even before the end of the world, stone processing factories with such equipment could only be located in the suburbs to avoid disturbing residents.
Looking around the interior of the factory, Leng Ning discovered that there were many sound insulation features in the factory.
However, these sound insulation facilities are too simple and I’m afraid the effect may not be ideal.
In a situation like the Heyu Base, it is no exaggeration to say that they are risking their lives to make money.
After all, this place is not far from Heyu Town. Although this base is hidden in the mountains, the noise is bound to spread out.
Once the noise is detected by the zombies, it is likely to attract a large number of zombies.
"Mr. Yang, are you interested in selling the raw materials directly to us?" Leng Ning thought for a while and said.
"Of course, we also need these stone-cutting equipment and the craftsmen who can process and carve them." Leng Ning looked at Yang Qiang.
It is indeed easy to attract zombies by turning on the machines here, but it is different in Kang Town.
Kang Town is large enough that even if the noise from stone-cutting is loud, it is enough to be consumed within the scope of Kang Town, and the zombies outside cannot hear any sound from Kang Town at all.
And even if someone heard it, Kang Zhen was not afraid of the zombie wave, after all, her fifth branch was stationed in Kang Zhen.
Anyway, with the space jade, transporting the goods is not a problem. As long as there are enough space jade, it is not difficult to transport the raw jade back to City A.
"What do you mean?" Yang Qiang's tone was tinged with excitement.
Is it what he thought? Master Leng wants to take some people from the Heyu Base away?
Leng Ning looked at Yang Qiang and said, "It is too risky to use machines to cut stones. I want to hire your people to bring the stone-cutting equipment to our Thunder Base to operate. Then you can be directly responsible for mining the raw stones."
"If - if Mr. Yang, you are interested, we can talk about it. Or we can work together to develop the jade mine." Leng Ning's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had some other ideas.
"How do we cooperate?" Yang Qiang asked. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"You are responsible for mining the raw jade and sending skilled workers with equipment to the Thunder Base to cut, process and carve the jade. We are responsible for exporting the finished space jade wares you produce."
"Of course, we will also purchase a large number of your space jades ourselves."
Yang Qiang's face was calm.
"In order to ensure the safety of the Heyu base, I can also send people to protect it. This will prevent you from being short of defense forces due to the relocation of workers."
Yang Qiang still did not respond.
"Regarding the mode of cooperation, whether it is a commission on sales or letting Leng Group be your agent, we can discuss this slowly." Leng Ning continued.
"Haha, that's a good thing. But let me think about it." Yang Qiang stretched out his hand to stop Leng Ning from continuing.
Of course he was moved by what Leng Ning said, but after all, they had just met, so these things could not be rushed.
He still has a lot of stock on hand, so he doesn't need to use the stone-breaking machine in the short term.
After Yang Gang comes back from his visit to the Thunder Base, he will have sold all the goods in his hands, and it won’t be too late to discuss this matter.
Leng Ning's face stiffened slightly, and he gave up the desire to continue speaking.
"That's right. We have to give you some time to get to know our Thunder Base, right?" He then said with a smile.
"Young Master Lei and Hall Master Leng can also get to know us better, and we can both slowly get to know each other." Yang Qiang also smiled at the two of them.
"Haha, of course." Leng Ning responded with a smile.
Next, continue to follow Yang Qiang to visit the entire process of jade from raw materials to finished jewelry.
Although it is said to be a tour process, in fact, there was no one at most of the links.
