Gao Yang walked out of the cottage, threw the emerald bag to Li Jinfang, walked to Luxika, pointed to the shed and the people squatting all over the floor and said, "Who are they? What's the matter?"

"The sheds are all workers, some are locals, and many are deceived and forced to go down the mine to dig gems. There are more than 40 people in the big house, all of whom are armed guards."

Gao Yang nodded and said to Ivan: "The number of armed guards does not match, it seems to be a little less. Also, how to deal with these people?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. I'll collect the weapons and let them leave on their own. What I'm paying attention to now is what happened to Arturo's mine. I feel that this mine is not that simple."

After saying that, Ivan walked into the room where the armed guards were staying, shouted a few words in Spanish, and then asked Antonov to walk out of the room with a man, and muttered in Spanish for a long time.

After asking, Ivan immediately asked Antonov to take the man back to the house, and then whispered to Gao Yang: "I have asked clearly, now we can leave."

Gao Yang pointed to the big room and said, "What should those people inside do?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "No, just take away their weapons. Do you see those people? As long as the guards have no weapons, these workers who are forced to work in the mine and can't get a penny will get the rest for us."

After Ivan spoke, everyone entered the room and took out all the weapons, as well as communication equipment, such as telephone intercoms, and they also confiscated them all, but Gao Yang and the others would definitely not take them away. Anyway, there is a cliff next to the camp, so just throw the weapons under the cliff.

After cleaning everything up and confirming that the people in the camp would no longer pose a threat to them, Gao Yang and the others left immediately.

When he walked back, Ivan sighed regretfully. He turned his head and looked at the camp again, and then said reluctantly: "Do you know, this guy Arturo has gone lucky and he actually found an old mine. I really want to continue to open this mine now, but I'll forget it. It's not my style to develop a fixed industry in one place. But it's really a pity."

Gao Yang said with interest: "How do you say this?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "I'd better tell you carefully. Colombia is the largest producer of emeralds and the most advanced emeralds.

There are three major emerald mining areas in Colombia that produce emeralds. Muzo, Chivor and Coscue are the world-recognized as the best emerald production area. The stealing of emeralds has never been cut off. Arturo thought he had found a high-quality emerald vein in the muzo mining area, but he borrowed money from me and spent a lot of effort to open a mine, but in the end he got nothing.

After Arturo lost money, he had to run away to collect debts. However, Arturo was really lucky, so he came to LagunadeGuatavita. This is where I am now.

Before the fifteenth century, the Indians in Colombia mined emeralds on this mountain. After the Sipagaths came, they plundered the gold and gems of the Indians. Later, the Indians here sank their gold and emeralds into a lake at the foot of the mountain and sealed all the mines. Until now, no one knows where the mines of the ancient Indians are.

The mountain where we are located has already undergone large-scale mining. Now the emerald veins have dried up and no one has continued to mine here. Arturo just wanted to try his luck, but who would have thought that after he dug the mine, he actually opened up the old Indian mine. So he found a vein with extremely large reserves. That's how it was."

Ivan's words made Gao Yang sigh, saying, "I discovered an old mine hidden in this. I really don't know if that Arturo is lucky or unlucky. If he could keep driving, how much money would he make?"

Ivan shrugged and said, "Are you talking about how many emeralds can be mined in that mine? Only God can know this, maybe 50 million, maybe 100 million, maybe one billion, but certainly not too little."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Then why don't you continue to mine? This is not a difficult task for you, right?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "You can't be too greedy in life."

After saying with emotion, Ivan smiled bitterly: "It's a pity to let this mine go, but I'm just an arms dealer. Even if I occasionally do some part-time jobs, it's a business that takes short time and money quickly. If I don't want to be snatched away by this mine, I either arrange a large number of people here, or I have to cooperate with local gangs, and the news cannot be leaked. Otherwise, once the government knows about it, it's impossible to continue mining.

For an arms dealer, it’s better to sell your own arms with peace of mind. Cooperating with a gang is a stupid choice. I can sell weapons to a gang, but I will never cooperate with a gang to carry out a long-term cooperation, so I will give up this mine directly and be more direct."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "No matter what, our gains have been great this time. So, what are we going to do next? How to deal with these emeralds?"

Ivan snapped his fingers and smiled, "I have found an expert to identify emeralds. He will give an approximate price after seeing our gemstones. Then, we can just go to the gem market in Bogota to sell the emeralds."

Gao Yang said in surprise: "Do we still need to go to the market to sell the gems?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "No, no, of course we can find a buyer to sell all the gems at one time, but you and I don't know emeralds, and the gemstone merchant I can find does not have a deep friendship with me, so I can't guarantee that he will not lie to me. You have to know the grades of gems and the prices vary greatly, so we first identify the gems and know how much they are worth at least not cheated."

At this time, Fry, who was walking in front of Gao Yang, turned his head and shouted: "Boss, don't sell all the emeralds. Don't forget to leave one for Yelena. I have already made plans. I have to leave at least a few of my gems and make a few jewelry for my mother and my girlfriend."

Gao Yang laughed and scolded: "Get out, you need to say this. I have planned to sell the bad ones. I will pick out the best ones and keep them."

Li Jinfang sighed and said, "Oh, you all have someone to give it to. You said if I leave the gems, who can I give it to? I decided to sell them, and sell them all, without leaving any left, so I can feel upset when I look at them."

Ivan laughed and said, "Actually you can keep all the gems. Colombia is the origin of emeralds, so the price is relatively low. If you bring emeralds to other places and sell them, the price will at least double. However, it depends on how much we get this time. This time our gems are counted as a large number of goods. If the value is too high, it will be difficult to sell them all at once if you leave the Bogota trading market."

With a lot of gains, everyone was in a good mood. Grolev smiled and said, "I thought all arms dealers were like the vampire Uriyangko and refused to miss any opportunity to make money. Ivan, you are better than Uriyangko in this regard. I can guarantee that if Uriyangko was here, he would never let that mine."

Ivan smiled and said, "Uri Yangke? I can also guarantee that he will never let that mine go. I think Uri Yangke's nickname is not correct, but should be called the evil dragon. He has no resistance to anything shiny and valuable. One million dollars is placed in front of him. Uri Yangke may be able to resist the temptation and think calmly, but if it is a diamond worth one million dollars, no, five hundred thousand dollars worth of US dollars is placed in front of him, Uri Yangke will lose his mind. If he is asked to give up a vein of emeralds, he will go crazy, he will definitely go crazy."

It took about three hours to go up the mountain to the mining camp in Arturo, and when Gao Yang and the others returned, it took almost three hours. They returned to the foot of the mountain with a chat and laughing along the way. When they took the car at the foot of the mountain, the sky had already started to shine.

As soon as he got on the car, Ivan couldn't wait to pick up the phone and notify the experts he had contacted in advance, and asked the experts to go to the manor he rented to identify the gems.

When they returned to the manor rented by Yifan in the suburbs, it was already dawn. After Gao Yang and his team put down all their weapons and equipment, they did not go to rest. Instead, they went directly to the conference living room of the manor, sitting on the sofa one by one, waiting for the arrival of the appraisal experts.

Apart from Gao Yang and Ivan, only Antonov knew how much he had gained this time. When Ivan proudly placed both bags on the table and poured out all the gems inside, it immediately caused a burst of exclamations.

The emeralds were piled into hills on the table. Ivan put his hands on the pile of gems and shouted: "Guys, we have harvested at least fifteen kilograms of gems this time. Now I can happily declare that I will definitely not lose money this time, haha."

After Bruce whistled loudly, he said with a smile: "Fake, I have never thought that gems can be calculated in kilograms."

Bruce's words attracted another burst of laughter and, just as Gao Yang and his friends were happy about the harvest of this trip, the expert who identified the gems was finally here.

Because there are too many gems, Ivan asked him to find an expert in advance and called another helper. When Ivan's bodyguard brought the expert into the living room, the moment he saw the emerald, the two experts immediately said in unison: "So many!"
