At this time, Dooling was chatting with Mr. fedley about the gold mine.


    In the west, gold mining is always the most eye-catching thing. A newly discovered gold mine first represents not wealth, not luck, but disaster. Every new gold discovery means the beginning of a bloody and cruel fight. It''s hard to stop fighting until the predators enter the game, but the predators don''t enter the game on time every time. They also need to consider whether they have too many things in their hands and whether they will cause people''s rebound.


    This is the west of the Empire. It is synonymous with barbarism. Even if the capital predators cause public anger here, some people dare to touch it in the middle of the night. If anyone wants to guarantee the business here, the simple people in the West will tell them that all the money is put in one pocket, and eventually the pocket will be broken.


    So even if there are new gold mines, those predators will not show too much strong possessiveness. This is not the south, the East, the north, or the place where most civilized people live.


    Mr. Federer has a gold mine and a gem mine here. He is the supplier of Dorian Yilian jewelry store. Yilian jewelry store has always used Mr. Federer''s gold and gemstones, and the two sides also have a good cooperative relationship. With the help of gold from federley, a regular channel, Du Lin cleaned his batch of gold.


    The first person Dooling met this time in the West was fedley.


    Mr. Jack has a certain understanding of the west, but he does not live in the West. His understanding of the West comes from his people. It seems that he knows a lot of things, but these things may not work in the West. So Dooling came to meet fedley first and talk about some specific things in the West. The topic began with the mine.


    "If you want to say something more interesting recently, it must be something on the other side of yagur mountain..." Mr. fedley is in his fifties and looks very ordinary. The only regret is that his hair has fallen out in the middle, leaving only a big bald head that can reflect the shadow of the lamp, "Last time, the Western Mining Association... Oh, yes, you just came here and didn''t know very well about things here. The western mining association is an abbreviation. Its full name is the Western Mining Development Committee, which is composed of large and small mine owners. It is mainly to solve some quarrels."


    "It is said that several tourists picked up a piece of iron ore in the dry and weathered river outside yagur mountain for many years and brought it back. When they took it out at the market, they were found to be oxidized silver ore. after inspection, the news of silver ore in yagur mountain spread immediately, and almost most free gold miners and forces large and small ran away They found a huge silver mine near the yagur mountain area, which they had never paid attention to in the past. According to the exploration results of the West Mining Association, the yagur mountain silver mine is a rich mine, and the stock of finished products is about 120000 tons to 200000 tons. "


    "Some copper deposits have also been found around. Geologists believe that some bottom fractures have been caused by topographic changes. Yagur mountain should have huge and rich mineral resources. The emergence of copper and silver deposits means that there may be some other mineral deposits and associated deposits, so everyone rushed over."


    Du Lin listened with interest. Although he didn''t understand it at all, it didn''t hinder his thirst for knowledge. "Doesn''t anyone want to take it there?"


    "Take it?" Federer laughed. "You''re kidding, Doolin, 120000 tons of silver mine. Even if the imperial officials forcibly occupy the mine, I''m afraid it won''t last much time. This means a huge wealth. Anyone who wants to take it will only be washed by others."


    At present, the price of silver in the western world is very stable. According to the exchange rate of the Empire, an Imperial Star can buy four grams of finished pure silver. If a silver mine with a reserve of 120000 tons is fully excavated and purified into finished products, the total price is about 30 billion!


    This is a crazy number for everyone. Therefore, any individual or group who wants to occupy this mineral source alone will disappear under the attack of some crazy mobs blinded by wealth. They have collected 30 billion yuan. Since the new party came to power, they have not collected so much tax so far!


    Besides, there is a good chalcopyrite nearby, and there are other small mining areas nearby, which are likely to hide other types of huge rich mines. Under the auspices of the West Mining Association, yagur mountain has become a "public mining area", and anyone and any group can go to mine.


    The word "public mining area" first came from some exhausted mineral deposits. After many low reserve mining areas are completely exhausted, the mine owners will give up, and also give up the ownership of the area where the mining area is located. It is very uneconomic to buy land in the west if there is no mine. According to the current land use regulations of the Empire, non-agricultural and residential land will be purchased after private ownership Commercial construction is needed, and a certain number of jobs need to be solved according to some local standards.


    If there are no minerals in their land and they don''t give up, these mine owners must spend money to support a group of people. Whether they have something to do or not, they must put the specified "salary" into the specified account every month, otherwise they will face problems such as fines.


    Therefore, once most mines have no mines to dig, the mine owner will immediately give up the ownership of the land and change from private land to public land. At this time, the mine on that land will become a public mining area. The deposit is sometimes very magical. It doesn''t mean that there is no mine at all. Maybe if you dig here and there, you can dig something out In the past, some mine owners gave up their exhausted mines and were dug up new ore veins, and not a few of them.


    Once it belongs to the public, it is not easy to buy it again.


    The huge silver mine discovered in yagur mountain finally became a public mining area because of its huge reserves, which no one dared to occupy or could not afford to occupy. It is said that there are more than 400000 people living on the other side of yagur mountain. It is absolutely a terrible growth rate from zero to 400000 in just three months. And because the news is not spread enough and the weather is too cold, many people haven''t passed yet. After the spring, I''m afraid the number there will exceed one million or even more!


    After chatting for a while about what happened on the other side of yagur mountain, Mr. fedley turned around and asked why Dooling had developed in the West. He and Du Lin have known each other for three or four years, and we have enjoyed our cooperation. We can say that we have enough knowledge of Du Lin. In his opinion, it''s just a thankless thing for Dooling to develop in the West. The businesses that Dooling currently operates are much faster than mining to make money, and the prospect potential is much greater.


    Mr. fedley''s gold mine can produce about 400 to 500 pounds of pure gold every year, with a market value of about 1.2 million. After removing all the costs, including the purchase of slaves, the formation of mine protection teams and daily losses such as wages, he earned more than 800000. Of course, he also has a gem mine. It does seem that the money has been very much, much higher than the profits brought by some businessmen''s good industries, but compared with those tycoons and Dooling''s smuggling business, the money is nothing at all.


    Dulin''s current private wine trade can bring him more than 400000 net profits every month. His monthly income in Otis exceeds one million, excluding other income. Therefore, from Mr. fedley''s point of view, Dulin''s mining in the west is a very stupid investment. The biggest dream of these individual or collective mine owners in the west is to make a big profit, and then leave the poor place full of dust in the west to enjoy it in the south.


    For Mr. federley''s doubts, Dooling did not give him a direct answer, because he did not have an accurate answer himself. He came here not to make money, but for his career.


    "I don''t have the time and energy to hire an exploration team to look for ore veins for me everywhere. I plan to buy some directly and find new mines at the same time. There are several places I think are not far away from you.", Turin talked about the mines he plans to buy. Fedley''s face became more and more strange. Turin soon noticed this, and he stopped his words, Looking at Federer, "if you have any experience you want to teach me, it will be my honor."


    Federer struggled and sighed after a while, "For the sake of our good cooperation in the past, Doolin, I have to remind you that these people who are willing to sell their industries to you either have financial problems or have found a new way. If it is the latter, the problem will not be too big, but if it is the former, there may be some trouble. You know, this is the west, which you use in the civilized world That''s not very useful here. "


    "Here, people believe that ''the dead can''t tell'', swallow your money and let you disappear forever. It''s definitely happened more than once here!"


    It''s not impossible to meet those mine owners who don''t let the mine out after receiving money. These bloody mine owners and their subordinates are all those who dare to shoot for interests. When it''s really necessary to go to war, the state government will also intervene, and this is not a good thing. At that time, a hat of illegal trade will be pulled down, not only won''t you get your money back The state governments of the three western states have always been such assholes.


    Oh, no, it''s not an asshole, it''s a local protection policy!


    Those black miners made money, and the state government obtained hundreds of thousands of millions of benefits through fines. Unfortunately, only outsiders.


    So here is a famous saying - bullets are more effective than money.
