Power and Wealth
Chapter 164 – 4.6 Million!
About two weeks had passed.
Dong Xuebing had completed the State Security Party School’s training. But he does not have the basics in the unarmed combat and firearms. The trainers could only let him have some target practice and teach him some simple basic combat moves. He was not taught more complicated stuff. This was why Dong Xuebing got poor grades during the tests at the end. Luckily, Dong Xuebing was good at theories and managed to scrape through and get the completion certificate.
After completing the training course, Dong Xuebing spent his time bidding goodbye to his former colleagues and friends, like Tan Limei, Sun Zhuang, Guo Panwei, Chang Juan, Xu Yan, Song Shoujie, Xie Huilan, Xie Hao, etc. He will have to report to Yantai County Government in a few days and will not return to Beijing for some time. After he had bid his goodbyes, he boarded a plane.
Zhejiang Province.
Guoshi Village.
In the mining area of Yuyan Mountain, there were continuous explosions.
Many villagers and Chicken Blood Stones merchants were standing outside a small mine. Some people were covering their ears, and some were looking into the mine without blinking. This mine was a miracle. Old Ye and a few other villages had leased this mine at first. But after mining for a few months, they could not find and Bloodstones. Just when everyone had given up, a pretty woman took over this mine from Old Ye, and a bloodstone worth a few hundred thousand was found in the first blast!
Not only that, in the following one month, bloodstones were found in every single blast!
Chicken Blood Stones! Chicken Blood Stones! It was Chicken Blood Stones again! Almost half of all the raw Chicken Blood Stones at the auction in Guoshi village yesterday were from this mine!
Miracle! This was really a miracle!
When everyone heard that this mine will be blasting again, many people came over to see if there are any more Chicken Blood Stones!
Qu Yunxuan was wearing beige colored jeans and grey coat. It was dusty in the mountains, and her face was covered in a thin layer of dust. But the layer of dust was not able to hide her natural beauty. “Is everything ready?”
“Yes, boss. Everything is ready.”
“Sister Qu, the explosive is in place.”
These two teenagers were Qu Yunxuan’s relatives from her hometown. She had hired them to help her. Every day, hundreds of thousands worth of stones were mined. Dong Xuebing was worried about Qu Yunxuan’s safety and asked her to hire someone she trusts to help her. Qu Yunxuan listened to him and hired two strong teenagers to help her. Qu Yunxuan turned and look at the denotator. “Let’s start.”
A few seconds later, there was a loud blast!
“How is it?”
“Are there any bloodstones?”
The onlookers move closer to the mine.
A worker entered the mine with a powerful touch. He looked around before shouting excitedly. “Sister Qu! There is blood! There are Blood Stones!”
The onlookers were surprised and start to talk among themselves.
“God! They find Blood Stones again?”
“I think this should be the main stone vein. There should be more and higher grade stones here!”
“That’s right. I heard she had only leased this mine for 2 months, and there is only half a month left. She is really lucky.”
A businessman walked into the mine to look at the stones. After that, he smiled and said: “Ms. Qu, can we speak outside?” After they exited the mine, the businessman asked: “I want this stone. How about 200,000 RMB?”
Qu Yunxuan looked at him. “220,000 RMB.”
“…210,000 RMB.”
Qu Yunxuan replied. “Mr. Sun, we have done businesses several times before. I am not quoting you at a high price.”
That businessman smiled and agreed. “Fine. 220,000 RMB. Check or bank transfer?”
Qu Yunxuan is now very familiar with this trade. “Bank transfer. It is the same bank account as before.”
The former owner of this mine, Old Ye, was among the crowd. He was regretting his decision to let Qu Yunxuan take over this mine. These stones were supposed to be his.
Just when everyone was feeling amazed and jealous of Qu Yunxuan, Qu Yunxuan’s phone rang.
“Continue to dig deeper.” Qu Yunxuan instructed her workers before answering her phone. “Hello, Xiao Bing?”
It was Dong Xuebing. “Aunt Xuan, are you at the mines?”
“Yes. We had just found another piece of Blood Stone.” Qu Yunxuan laughed and walked away from the people there. She lowered her voice and said: “You are terrific! Everyone had thought this mine was depleted, but you are the only one who knew that there are bloodstones in there. Do you know how many bloodstones we found this one month? Even during our unlucky days, we can also find bloodstones worth tens of thousands!”
“Huh? How much money have we made?”
Qu Yunxuan replied angrily. “You did not even give me a call since I come here. I will only tell you when you are here!”
“Ah, didn’t I call you that day? I am at a training course organized by State Security. We are not allowed to bring phones there, but I still call you secretly.”
Qu Yunxuan smiled: “Idiot. How would I know if you are lying to me?”
“I will not lie to you. Tell me how much money do we have now?”
Qu Yunxuan paused for a while. “Tell me when are you coming over?”
“Ah…… Xuan Xuan, are you missing me?”
Qu Yunxuan scolded: “Where is your respect? If you call me Xuan Xuan again, I will beat you up!”
“Haha, if you miss me, I will go over to see you now.”
“Stop talking nonsense. It is also not weekend now. You still have to work.”
“I am on leave now. Hurry and tell me. Do you miss me?”
“…… No!”
“If you don’t miss me, I will not go over to see you.”
“……”
“Do you miss me?”
Qu Yunxuan blushed and let out a soft “yes.”
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Qu Yunxuan from her back. Qu Yunxuan got a fright and turned. She froze. It was Dong Xuebing who had hugged her from her back. She quickly came back to her senses and hit him on his arm. “Idiot! You want to give me a fright? What are you here at Yuyan Mountain? When did you arrive?”
Dong Xuebing laughed and kept his phone. “I just landed. I came over after I left my luggage at the hotel.” He had flown over from Beijing. He still has a few more days before his reporting date at Yantai county. Dong Xuebing had planned to spend some time with Aunt Xuan and go to Yantai County one day before his reporting date.
Qu Yunxuan stared at Dong Xuebing and pinched his cheeks. “You will be the death of me! Why didn’t you call before coming?! How can you hug me suddenly?! I got a fright! I thought some hooligan is taking advantage of me! You little pervert!”
Dong Xuebing pushes Aunt Xuan’s hand away from his cheeks. “I only wanted to give you a surprise. See how happy you are. You are pinching and hitting me.”
“Call me next time before you come. At least I got the time to get prepared. Look at me now……” Qu Yunxuan gave him a look and turn her back towards him. She took out a small mirror to look at her face and wipe the dust off her face.
Dong Xuebing does not care. He gave Qu Yunxuan a hug and a kiss on her forehead.
Qu Yunxuan pushed him away. “Stop it. My face is dirty.”
Dong Xuebing ignored her and gave her another kiss. “It’s fine for me.”
Qu Yunxuan looked at him and knock him lightly on his head. “You…… only know how to say sweet things to make me happy. Dust is all over my face. How can it be fine?”
Dong Xuebing had not seen Aunt Xuan for about a month, and he misses her. But there were too many people around, and they could not do anything. They only chatted for a while before Qu Yunxuan drags him into their mine.
The mine was deeper compared to before.
“Aunt Xuan, can you tell me now?” Dong Xuebing was anxious about the progress of the mine. “How much did we make?”
Qu Yunxuan had been elated recently. She smiled. “This mine you picked is really good. We found Blood Stones almost every two days. We have already dug out more than 20 big raw Blood Stones. Some businessmen had come to me to buy our stones. I will sell to them when I find their offers are reasonable. If not, I will sell the stones at the monthly auction in the village. There was an auction two days ago.”
Dong Xuebing’s heart was racing. “…… How much did we make?”
Qu Yunxuan looked around and pulled him aside. “With the stone, I sold just now, my account has 4.6 million RMB. We have doubled our initial investment of 2 million, and we still have about 20 days left. If we are lucky, we should earn about 5 million.”
Even though Dong Xuebing already knew this outcome, he was still surprised.
4.6 million RMB!
4.6 million RMB!
With this much money, Dong Xuebing will have enough to set up a company. Even if he did not set up a company, he has enough to get a wife and let his mother enjoy life!
At this very moment, Dong Xuebing felt he is on track to become a tycoon!
