Since the cost of the setup was low, no less than five 'ore acquisition points' of major mining companies had sprung up like mushrooms in the last two to three months on Shrimp B1 Island.
The companies determined these acquisitions based on the reserves of known mineral deposits on the island and the use of unknown minerals. For this reason, the purchase price for rare and unknown minerals was quite high.
There was only one long counter at Dubo Brothers Mining Company. Four to five ore appraisers having gray hair, wearing blue working uniforms were sitting in front of the spotlight. There were a few clerks also wearing blue uniforms at the simple 'ore acquisition point'. Zhang Lisheng counted the banknotes in his hand and nodded at the clerk in front who was taller than him by a whole head. "It's correct, it's 7000 USD in total. I guess we're done here."
He mimicked the increasing 'new cowboy' in the gathering place remarkably well.
