"I think you may have misunderstood." After listening to Shi Xiaolei's words, James replied with a smile: "The gold sand sieved from the river sand is actually smaller gold ore. Take out a single grain, and the gold content may be higher than that of a large piece. The gold ore is higher, but compared with the purified gold, it is still too far behind.”

"Uh..." Looking down at the gold pan, Shi Xiaolei understood: "After a long time, it turns out that these are not real gold."

"That depends on how you understand it." James responded: "If it is directly packed in a small bottle as an ornament, you can say that it is gold. But if you plan to make it into other things, such as making jewelry If not, it has to go through a purification process before it can be used.”

"Then... you just said that you can get more than a dozen grams of gold dust in a day. If you purify it into gold, how much can you get?"

"Maybe it's only two or three grams." Guessing that Shi Xiaolei will continue to ask questions later, James simply gave the answer: "According to the current market conditions, the profit is about one hundred dollars. If you exclude the later stage of purification The various expenses spent, the net profit has to drop a little bit more, and it may be only eighty or ninety dollars.”

I thought it would be eight or nine hundred, but when I actually calculated it, it was only eight or ninety.

Comparing before and after, the final result is only one-tenth of what was expected.

"So that's it." Shi Xiaolei nodded, with a look of emotion on his face: "I thought I could earn hundreds or thousands of yuan a day. Now it seems that you are wishful thinking, and you think too little."

"It's not very wrong to not have that kind of income based on manpower. After all, the "one day" you said refers to the time it takes for guests to go to the river to experience gold panning. Eight big hours right and left. Even if you meet even less resilient guests, it will take more than eight hours to experience it once. "

Speaking of that, Shi Xiaolei smiled again: "These gold diggers who came to Alaska specifically for gold panning are basically working except for eating and sleeping. Counting it, the time we stay outside Daxi every day is at most No less than seventeen hours."

It is an exaggeration to say that after all the sand in Daxi has been sifted out, the hotel can earn tens of millions if they say more.

"Yeah." Nodding vigorously, Skye excitedly took out a large notebook and opened a page in it: "Here, that's what you drew just now. You used the map software under your mobile phone to call up the hotel. The topographic map over there, and then compared with the "treasure map" drawn on it. He saw that at that place, about seventy meters up, gold ore should be found. "

It can be changed to the current form, and the result is exactly the same.

And counting the income earned from staying tourists...

"So, the golden sand outside the big stream is actually quite small?"

"Forty percent sure, tsk tsk..." Smacking his lips, Lan Fanhan barely controlled his mood, and there was a trace of emotion in the sight of Skye: "Let you guess, it should be detected by him using the vibration ability." The result, right?"

"...he waits, you do the math first."

"A lot? Come on, this is tens of millions bad~!" Of course, there is no afterthought to all of that—there are not so many golden sands outside Daxi that my relatives found, including the surrounding ground, and there is nothing else that I haven't discovered yet. gold veins.

If the main purpose is to mine sands, it only needs to invest in equipment and manpower, and also has to pay a sum of environmental management fees.

"Hmm..." After recalling for a moment, Skye replied without any hesitation, "Is it possible that a ton of ore can yield 36 grams?"

Making a pause gesture to Skye, James hung the bluetooth headset under his ear and connected to the Canglan Star: "Canglanxing, help you solve a math problem. The length is 170 meters, and the diameter is about 10 meters. , How many cubic meters less in total? If calculated according to the density of gold ore, how much is the total weight?"

The accounts are bad, and it is obvious how to choose. evil force

"According to the data you gave, the calculated result is 9000 cubic meters." Cang Lanxing immediately gave an answer without any hesitation: "

The specific gravity of gold ore, especially 2.8 to 3 tons per cubic meter, takes an intermediate value of 2.9 tons, and the total weight of 9,000 cubic meters of gold ore is about 28,100 tons. "

"According to the current market conditions, what is the total value?"

"Bad, you thought it could reach four figures at most." Smacking his lips, James turned his head to look at Skye: "He heard, you said that the initial income probably wasn't 80 million. What did he think?" Do you think it’s not too much?”

"Skye, he still remembers how little the average content I said later? It's not how many grams of gold can be produced from a ton of ore."

"Huh?! What did he say? Did you hear wrong?"

The answer was very neat, but the first number didn't interest James: "Is he sure it's only 59.6 million? Did you count an extra 0?"

"Yes, it's barely reached the level where it's worth using a machine to mine." First he gave an answer, and then Shi Xiaolei shook his head again: "Is it a comprehensive consideration of all aspects, or take it as a gimmick , it is more cost-effective to attract tourists to come and stay.”

"Yeah." Because of James' question, Lan Fan said more vigorously: "You haven't confirmed how many times it is broken. If you are sure that the vibration frequency you sense is indeed gold ore, the direction of the vein above it should be That’s right. Compared with the map, you haven’t calculated it yet. It should not be as long as one hundred and seventy meters. The position a little to the left of the middle section is the thickest part of the vein, and its diameter should be about 14 meters.”

In addition, the taxes on the mining industry are already high. On the whole, the net profit that fell into the pocket at first may only be a few hundred to seven hundred thousand dollars.

"Canglanxing, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is 36 grams per ton, which is not too much in the end." With his left hand under the earphone, James asked again.

Leaning his head closer, while looking at the draft drawn by Skye, James confirmed, "What are those two lines? Is the distribution direction of the gold mine?"

"The result was 939.6 kilograms."

"Based on a price of US$1,800 an ounce, the total value is probably around US$59.6 million."

"Yes, if you do."

It needs to invest in costs, and the equipment and manpower cannot be saved. It also needs to pay environmental management fees, including taxes, which are also calculated according to the standards of the hotel industry. There is a lot of money left over from the cost alone.

Looking at Skye, who still had some steam under his hair, James' face was full of surprise, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"He heard it wrong." With a smug smile on his face, Skye nodded vigorously: "You are not 40% sure, there is not a single unmined ore vein on this mountain. Locke knows Yeah, you're never going to joke about something like that."
