The American gold rush denim has achieved a generation of legends, and has become the place where everyone aspires to be rich in that era, and the memorial left by that era is estimated to be a jeans left today, but people's enthusiasm for gold has not diminished at all.
With the development and progress of social systems, gold mining has gradually been standardized or governmentized, except for one place, that is, the resource-rich African region.
Africa, which is perennially hot at the equator, is one of the poorest places in the world, but it also has the world's richest and most diverse mineral resources, such as diamonds, oil, jade and gold. Due to the weakness of local governments, most of the resource extraction rights here belong to foreign countries, so Africa has not become rich because of its abundant resources.
Gold is a hard currency since ancient times, its value is naturally clear at a glance, South Africa is known as the world's first diamond mine, then Ghana in Africa is the world's famous gold coast, where the gold storage accounts for 3% of the world's total gold, causing people from all over the world to come to pan for gold, including The Shanglin Gang in Guangxi, China.
The origin of the Shanglin Gang
Guangxi Shanglin County is a poor county, the economic level of the people of the county is in the lower reaches of the economic level of the people of the whole country, the poor nature is particularly eager to get rich, especially the example of getting rich overnight, which makes the people of Shanglin County excited, and in fact, since 2005, Shanglin County has been circulating rumors of Ghanaian gold panning to become a billionaire.
It is rumored that there is a forester, after going to Ghana in Africa to pan for gold, came back to buy a villa to buy a car, reinvested, and the assets soon reached hundreds of millions, such a rumor is not enough to believe, but more inevitably there is a lot of discussion.
In just a few years, the people of Shanglin County have gone to Ghana to pan for gold and become rich, and even a reporter interviewed the Shanglin County government, and the government also admitted that there are indeed things, but whether the assets are hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be confirmed.
For a time, the people of Shanglin County went to Ghana in Africa to pan for gold became a boom, after all, everyone wanted to get rich and wanted to take off the hat of poverty, and the gold diggers who went out to Ghana in Shanglin County were also willing to take their fellow villagers out, so this gang formed a well-known "Shanglin Gang".
Shanglin helps Ghana gold panning
Ghana is known as the Gold Coast, because Ghana is rich in gold, most of which is rock gold, in the main rock gold mining area, is controlled by large gold mining companies such as britain and the United States, so for rock gold, this land has nothing to pick up, but Ghana has sand gold in addition to rock gold.
Friends who have seen "Breaking into the Guandong" should have the impression of panning for sand gold, panning needs to clean the place where shajin is located with water flow, so the location of shajin is mostly soft and wet, so that the large-scale equipment for gold panning cannot be carried out, and the local technology for sand gold panning is basically in the primitive stage, there is no advanced technology, and it also consumes manpower and material resources, so it has become an area where the government has no time to supervise, and this area has been found by the people of the Shanglin Gang in Guangxi.
Shanglin gang brought advanced sand pump technology, completely changed the development pattern of Ghana Shajin, a Shanglin gang gold panning engineering team is generally composed of more than a dozen people, everyone in a foreign country to have a care, is conducive to safety, but also conducive to the integration of advanced gold panning technology, in Ghana Shanglin gang gold panning technology is not passed on, only the Shanglin gang people will.
According to rough estimates, Shanglin people have invested more than 1,000 gold mining production lines in Ghana, and at a cost of 3 million yuan per line, Shanglin Shangbang has invested as much as 3 billion yuan in Ghana.
These gold panning sites, generally a site with two excavators, a day production of 200-300 grams of gold is an average. Lucky people can pick up 1 kilogram a day; of course, there are unlucky ones, only 30-50 grams a day, and even hang up the neutral gear.
Let's calculate a set of data, according to the international price of gold, using a stable value of 280 yuan per gram, a Shanglin gang gold panning engineering team a day of gold production averaged 300 grams, then a day this site can have 84,000 yuan of income, planing the machine operation costs and labor costs required for gold panning, and the net profit is also quite objective.
Moreover, for gold, there will always be a buyer's market, which is in a state of short supply, the gold mined by the Shanglin Gang is very convenient, some are sold to local people, but more are sold to familiar domestic acquaintances, so the huge profit income, so that the Shanglin Gang everyone becomes a rich man, and the story of the rich man circulating in Shanglin County is also inseparable.
There are few beneficial and harmless things in this world, and the Shanglin Gang seems to have made a lot of money in Ghana, which makes people envious, but the actual comprehensive situation is also worrying, the so-called one thought of heaven and one thought of hell, wealth and risk are only linked.
Heaven and hell are closely linked
Because the Shanglin Gang is a unique faction and its wealth is immeasurable, it naturally receives the attention of the local people in Ghana, which is divided into three aspects, on the one hand, the people of Ghana, on the other hand, the government of Ghana, and on the other hand, the fierce bandits.
For the people of Ghana, the Shanglin Gang will naturally consume money, so there are many entertainment places near the Shanglin Gang Engineering Team, where the Shanglin people in a foreign land can relax their bodies and minds and relieve the loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land, and the Shanglin people are generous due to the gold panning, so the surrounding industries of the Shanglin Gang are very hot.
Visas and land environment are among the root causes of the Ghanaian government's hatred of the Shanglin gang. Not everyone in Shanglin who comes to Ghana to pan for gold has the qualification to pan for gold, and not everyone has a legal visa, many people are panning for gold through tourist visas, and when the visa expires, they will continue to hide in Ghana to pan for gold, which causes great inconvenience to the management of Ghanaian government personnel.
In addition, thousands of Shanglin people came to pan for gold and cut the ground into potholes, which also caused a headache for the Ghanaian government.
As mentioned earlier, the government in poor areas of Africa is relatively weak, so this is also a place where robbers run rampant, and the Shanglin Gang that will pan for gold will naturally become the fat in the eyes of the robbers, and it often happens that the Shanglin people and robbers fight to the death for gold, so now the Shanglin Gang has a habit, everyone habitually carries 200 grams of gold in case of emergency, and when they meet the robbers, they will hand them over, after all, in front of life, money is a small matter.
brief summary:
Panning for gold is risky, and you need to be cautious when following the Shanglin Gang. Looking at the unique Shanglin Gang, it is natural to make a fortune through gold panning, but there are also undesirable points, such as illegal development, such as expired visas, and from time to time to face the threat to the lives of robbers, so people who have a living mind should think twice.
