Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Although Liang En and his group were mining in a lawless place like Central America, they had to pay attention to their appearance during the process because they were directly operating the mines.

For example, we should do some environmental protection work, provide workers and security personnel with adequate labor protection items, and provide a salary that is good by local standards, etc.

This is not to say that capital has become kind, but that reputation is obviously much more important to these people than the money earned from squeezing workers. At least it is not worthwhile to lose reputation for an extra one to two million euros a year.

Take the simplest example. The Earl makes luxury jewelry. Once word spreads that its subordinate mines are known to exploit workers, the company's value will be severely damaged.

Because for those luxury goods consumers, an important reason why they buy luxury goods is to feel superior to others, and companies with obvious moral flaws obviously cannot do this.

Although this will indeed cost more, it is also a good thing in the long run. For example, in this way, it can at least reduce the number of idle and unemployed people around, thereby ensuring the local safety situation.

At the same time, with the establishment of the security team, the activity space of the gangsters wandering around will be gradually compressed, and then completely cleared away.

For example, this was the case with the group of gangsters who attacked them last time. If there were no accidents, these gangsters would be cleared out in a short time and would not pose much of a threat to the direction of the mine.

Of course, the real solution to the gangster problem does not rely solely on violence. According to Liang En and the others, judging from the current local development speed, they will solve the most basic income problem of the local people within half a year, and then many problems will be solved easily.

A certain US president once said that all problems are economic problems, and this is the case. A very important reason for the local chaos is the huge gap between the rich and the poor of the local people, and the reason that the vast majority of the people are too poor.

This is why everyone chooses to spend more costs, because at this time everyone also realizes that instead of squeezing workers and causing instability in public security and spending more money on security fees, it is better to deal with this matter from the beginning. Do it well.

Of course, if this is an important energy mineral or metal mineral, many people will indeed choose to over-squeeze workers because the unit profit is not high.

But the problem is that this is an emerald mine, which is a kind of gemstone from all aspects, so there is enough profit to ensure the distribution of workers and surrounding areas.

And as the mine gradually develops, Liang En and the others will also use this mine as a springboard to start investment in the country of Guatemala and gain profits from it.

You must know that the country of Guatemala is poor mainly because of the instability of the overall environment, but from the perspective of natural resources, this country is very rich.

Guatemala's forest area accounts for 38% of the country's total, and the Peten lowlands are particularly concentrated; it is rich in precious wood such as mahogany. Mineral resources include lead, zinc, chromium, antimony, gold, silver, mercury, nickel, etc., and oil reserves are 1.43 billion barrels.

Half of the country's labor force is engaged in agricultural production. Guatemala's main agricultural products include coffee, cotton, bananas, sugar cane, corn, rice, beans, etc. There are also sugar refining, textiles, flour, wine making, tobacco, etc.

Exports of cash crops are the main source of foreign exchange earnings, with coffee, bananas, cotton, and sugar being the bulk exports. Cardamom exports rank first in the world, and coffee production ranks second in Central America.

In other words, this country still has its own unique advantages in agricultural development. Unfortunately, most of the big agricultural owners here are backed by American capital, so it is not easy for others to invest here.

A good jade mine now provides a very good foothold for everyone. At the same time, everyone's energy is enough to keep the mine and expand its strength to the surrounding areas with the mine as the core.

After their trip to Guatemala, Liang En and the others returned to Dublin. As soon as they got off the plane, Liang En said goodbye to Fan Meng in a hurry, and then he and Joan of Arc went directly home to study and write down their gains from the cards.

In fact, when he discovered the ancient jade mine before, Liang En obtained nine cards in one breath, which also illustrates the importance of this jade mine to the entire Mayan civilization in that ancient era.

Five of the nine cards are common cards, including four [Detection (N)], two [Legendary Power (N)] and one [Identification (N)]. These new cards The cards gave Liang En a new addition to his card library, which was about to bottom out.

The other two cards are very interesting, one of them is [Rainforest Survival (R)], and the other is the biggest gain this time, [Prophecy (SR)].

[Rainforest Survival (R): As the only human civilization that originated in the tropical rain forest, although the ancient Mayans did not even master the skills of metal smelting, they were still able to build tall buildings.

A well-known fact is that the construction of those magnificent buildings requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the ancient Maya who can provide such manpower and material resources in the tropical rainforest area naturally have strong rainforest life capabilities.

Enhancement card (one-time use), consuming this card can allow the user to master the ability of life in the tropical rainforest, and make the user feel like returning to the tropical rainforest is like their own home. 】

"Maybe it can be used." Liang En looked at the content on the card and thought that for people like him who often go out in the field, mastering the skills of survival in the wild can be regarded as a required course.

Although as a scholar, he may not necessarily encounter the kind of desperate situation where he must survive in the wild, but it is better to have enough dry food and an umbrella and be prepared but not use it than to be unprepared and have to use it.

But then again, after so many reinforcements and his own studies, Liang En now has a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild. Liang En feels that he might be able to compete for a man at the top of the biological chain.

In fact, the biggest difficulty in learning wilderness survival skills for people living in cities is that they usually don’t see much real wilderness, so learning it feels like swallowing up a lot.

To take the simplest example, no matter how detailed the process of drilling wood to make fire is described in books, pictures or even videos, it is basically impossible to learn it if you don't actually do it.

This principle can also be extended to a large number of things, but for most ordinary people, even if they know this, they really don't have the energy and time to practice it.

In this case, the first practice often encounters a big crisis, and then one's life is lost because of the failure of practice.

Fortunately, cards can make up for all these shortcomings, because after learning all the knowledge about cards, it will be like the knowledge that you have really mastered through many times of practice, and there will never be any problems that are just meaningless.

For example, this is the case now. Liang En can feel that he has mastered a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild in tropical rainforest areas, and he can use it smoothly if he really needs to survive in the wild.
