    The four of them were together, apart from bragging and talking about business matters, what they were focusing on now was the small leaf red sandalwood corner and the pile of gold and silver coins.

    Little Black said: "The collision must be saved for the auction. We have invited a total of more than twenty Jewish wealthy people and Middle Eastern royals. Remember Afef? The guy who bought our "Sunset at Montmajour",  He is also interested and is waiting to make a lot of money during the spring auction.¡±

    "The processing of gold and silver coins is divided into two channels, one is private sale, and the other is auction. The gold and silver coins at auction are either of poor quality and priced at a lower price, or they are of the best quality and will be priced higher when the time comes.  Sell. We are selling those gold and silver coins in the middle privately."

    Qin Shiou nodded and said this was good.  He is not too concerned about the auction business now, because the fishery has begun to generate income for him. Butler's monthly income exceeds 10 million US dollars. The seafood transformed by Poseidon energy can be called a huge profit!

    Talking about business, Billy said that he now also hopes to find a sunken ship. His men analyzed the information about the sunken ship and found a transport ship that sank in the waters of Somalia. It was an early Spanish treasure ship and contained crudely purified gold ore.  If they could salvage it, it would definitely make them rich overnight.

    ¡°We¡¯ve been getting rich overnight.¡± Brandon laughed.

    Qin Shiou was more concerned about how much gold the ship contained, so he asked.

    Billy stretched out a slap, and Qin Shiou exclaimed: "Five tons?!"

    ??According to the current price of gold, one ton of gold is worth about US$40 million or less, and five tons is worth US$200 million. No wonder Billy said they would get rich overnight!

    Billy rolled his eyes at him and said, "What five tons? It's a thousand tons!"

    Everyone gasped, and Little Blake pulled his shoulders and shook him hard: "Fake! One thousand tons? One thousand tons, why are you holding up five fingers?! Are you sure you are not mistaken? One  Thousands of tons of gold? More than 40 billion US dollars?!"

    One thousand tons of gold is indeed terrifying. You must know that before the 19th century, the level of gold productivity in human society was very low. In the thousands of years of history before that, humans produced a total of less than 10,000 tons of gold. For example, in the 18th century  Only 200 tons of gold are produced in 100 years

    Until the discovery of a series of gold resources in the 19th century, gold production has increased significantly since then. Especially in the 50 years of the second half of the 19th century, gold production exceeded the total amount of the previous 5,000 years.

    Today, the world mines about 2,600 tons of gold every year.

    But a thousand tons of gold reserves are still terrifying!

    Billy immediately shattered their illusions: "I'm not sure, brothers, did you listen to me carefully? Yes, a thousand tons, but that's not purified gold, but crudely purified gold.  Mine! It¡¯s ore!¡±

    Brandon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me just say, one thousand tons of gold, that's too scary. There's no need to fish for one thousand tons of gold ore, right? Rough extraction? How far has it been extracted?"

    He is a banker, and banks need to reserve gold. All banks in Canada have less than one thousand tons of gold reserves.

    Gold ore is actually not very valuable. As we all know, South Africa is a traditional gold-producing country, but at present, one ton of gold ore in South Africa can only extract 4 grams of gold on average.  Some high-grade gold can be extracted from one ton of 10 grams of gold, and one ton of low-grade gold can be extracted from 2 grams of gold. Vaults with less than 2 grams of ton have no mining value.

    If these ores are just raw ores, even if they are of high grade, one thousand tons is only ten kilograms of gold, which is too little.

    Qin Shiou didn¡¯t know much about this aspect, and there were no gold mines in Canada. His daily living environment was not related to this aspect, so he asked Brandon what happened to the gold ore.

    Brandon explained: "Gold ores refer to ores that contain gold elements or gold compounds. They can be processed into gold concentrates or gold ore sands with higher gold content. The gold concentrates also need to be smelted.  , can it become fine gold and gold products.¡±

    "Is there any ore with a particularly high gold content?" Qin Shiou asked.

    Brandon nodded and said: "Yes, they are divided into two types. The first one is the best gold mine, which comes from meteors. Some meteors contain gold, so when passing through the earth's atmosphere, the meteors and the atmosphere will produce strong friction and violent oxidation and combustion.  Many impurities are consumed in the process."

    "You know, gold is very stable and has difficulty chemically reacting with other substances even at high temperatures. Therefore, since the temperature is very high when crossing the atmosphere, it is higher than the melting point of gold (1063c), so they will become liquid after landing., attached to stones or sand and finally cooled to become the ultimate gold mine.  "

    Billy shook his head and said: "The gold content of this kind of gold mine is close to 100%. It is very rare. Once discovered, it will become a private treasure among the people or a national treasure. Of course the gold mine on the ship is not like this, otherwise I would not care about Somalia.  The armed forces have already gone to fish for it!¡±

    Qin Shiou signaled him to stop talking and continued to ask Brandon: "What next? What is another high-quality gold mine like?"

    Brandon continued: "That is the gold crystal mine, which was formed about 400 million years ago during the Paleoproterozoic orogeny of the Precambrian Proterozoic."

    "This kind of gold mine also comes from meteors, but the gold is not refined, but when the large meteors pass through the atmosphere, due to the high temperature, uneven heating, different internal compositions of the meteors, and different melting points and vaporization points, so  There will be an explosion.¡±

    "After the explosion, the meteor fragments continue to burn, and the impurities are obviously more likely to burn. The final particles left behind are rich in gold. These gold deposits are often close to the natural crystal state of gold, showing an equiaxed crystal system and a cubic face-centered lattice.  Or it can be in a semi-liquid form, which is also very precious and can be turned into red gold by simply refining it!"

    Qin Shiou looked at Billy, who shrugged and said, "Why are you looking at me? The ore in the sunken ship is not this kind of top-grade ore."

    Qin Shiou became frustrated and said, "Then do you know how far the rough extraction has gone?"

    Billy said aggrievedly: "Most of the documents at that time were lost. Where can I confirm the specific information? However, these thousand tons of gold ore can definitely extract at least one or two tons of gold. Otherwise, there would be no need for Spanish treasure ships to transport it.  They¡¯re gone!¡±

    "One or two tons of gold is fine, and its value is no less than that of small-leaf red sandalwood. You can't be too greedy, and you can't be too ambitious."

    Thinking of this, Qin Shiou patted Billy on the shoulder and said: "Okay, man, let your people start the work and dig it out."

    He smiled awkwardly and said: "Sorry, Qin, you have to come forward first." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
