Chapter 0435 – The Great Golden Pagoda (I)
As if he could see Zhuang Rui’s thoughts. Peng Fei smiled and said, “Brother Zhuang, most of the cabs here in Yangon are Japanese cars from the eighties, even if they have air-conditioning, they have been broken for a long time, this hotel is not of a low grade, so there should be a car, but there are so many people living here, and when it comes time to use the car, it’s not always possible to grab it.”
Song Jun booked this hotel, called Sedona, is a five-star hotel, from China’s mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and many foreign countries of the jadeite wool buyers, more than staying in this hotel, which at the same time is also Myanmar’s state guesthouse.
Every year to the jade plate season, here is very difficult to stay in the room, but the price here is not cheap, a night on the three hundred U.S. dollars or so, than the domestic five-star hotels, to be a lot higher.
The hotel lived in thousands of wool merchants from various countries, only by their hotel’s own car, simply not enough to use, although the hotel car costs will be higher, but can come here, who will care about that a few money ah!
“This weather is hotter than Hainan! Older brother, go ah! Why are you standing here?”
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei talking, Song Jun and others also walked down from the cab, Fatty Ma is holding a towel, rubbing back and forth vigorously in the face, he was on the body of that piece of white culture shirt, has long been wet through the sweat, wet sticking to the body, showing a body of fat.
Walking into the hotel lobby, facing a huge oil painting, attracted Zhuang Rui’s eyes, this is a pair of sky blue background color oil painting, in the picture stood a girl wearing traditional Burmese clothing, hand holding a white altar.
Behind the girl, is the Myanmar jade merchants, and foreign to the wool buyers bargaining, as well as picking lamps to pick wool and reached a deal, raise a glass to celebrate the picture, from the clothing can be clearly distinguish their identity, and the facial expressions are drawn vividly.
Businessmen from all over the world, at this time are standing under the oil painting to take a picture. On a whim, Zhuang Rui found a digital camera from his bag and handed it to Peng Fei, asking him to take a picture of himself as well.
“Huh, isn’t this Boss Zhuang? Boss Zhuang, let’s take a picture too ……”
Zhuang Rui just stood over, heard the greetings, turned his face to look, hey, really familiar, is in Pingzhou Jade fair to see that Han, Han’s Jewelry helmsman, their own that will also sell him a piece of wool it!
That fat man Han is not polite, came over to take Zhuang Rui’s shoulders, yelling for his people to take a picture.
“Mr. Zhuang, I live in room 128, if you are free tonight, I will host us a drink ah! Aigoo, Boss Song and Boss Ma are also here! What a coincidence.”
See Fatty Han greeted Song Jun two people, Zhuang Rui wiped cold sweat, this Mr. Han inevitably also too enthusiastic a little bit, he is not a woman, grab a hand will not let go.
Just this Han boss just left, behind the hula-hula and surrounded by a group of people to come, and Zhuang Rui greetings, some people want to take a picture, some people shaking hands, there are actually want to sign, so that Zhuang Rui can not help but be dumbfounded, he is not a star, these people are sick or how?
However, in this group of people, there are really quite a lot of familiar faces, must have seen in Pingzhou, Zhuang Rui that face is not taut, a fake smile to cope with. Waiting for all the handshake photo finished, Zhuang Rui that is a sweaty ah! Hurriedly greeted Peng Fei drilled into the elevator.
“Huh, Zhuang …… ouch ……”
Zhuang Rui just entered into the elevator, inside there is a person on Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand, to his shoulder to clap, just closely behind Zhuang Rui Peng Fei grabbed the hand, slightly force, the other party screamed up pain.
“Peng Fei, it’s my friend ……”
Zhuang Rui saw this person, could not help but smile, himself and him really have a destiny, the first contact with the gambling stone ran into this kid, the second time of the accumulation of the original funds, also met him, I did not expect to come to a foreign country, actually can still see him.
Looking at Yang Hao rubbing his hands there, Zhuang Rui asked with a smile, “Just now those people outside don’t know what’s going on, every one of them is pulling me, it’s really strange, don’t you care, my friend didn’t mean it.”
“You still don’t know ah! Your name is now greatly famous in the gambling circle, called …… what good luck child, others that is trying to dip a little bit of your wealth ……”
Yang Hao heard Zhuang Rui words, is also a smile, Zhuang Rui in Nanjing gambling stone, or reputation is not obvious, after all, betting up a thousand million, in the gambling circle are normal, but in Pingzhou that can be a big splash, one after another, from the two pieces of waste inside the solution out of the best jadeite, which allows many people are greatly shocked.
Not to mention that the piece of heavenly price tag king, but to Zhuang Rui brought hundreds of millions of dollars, Zhuang Rui gambling stone rich story. At home and abroad in the gambling circle is now widely spread.
People who like to gamble, most of them are more superstitious, especially in Hong Kong people, those people before coming to Burma, it is estimated that they have to bathe in incense to worship Master Guan Er, they are also convinced that, and good luck people have more contact, they will also be stained with good luck.
“Shit, buddy is a child ……”
Zhuang Rui some speechless, we are now a man, but this can not be declared all over the world to go. Looking at Yang Hao, Zhuang Rui asked, “How come you’re the only one who came to Burma?”
“No, the elders of the family also came, I came all day, just went down to eat lunch, I said Brother Zhuang, your friend’s hand strength is also too big.”
Yang Hao just now only felt his right hand, as if it was clamped with iron pliers, he had no doubt that the skinny young man beside Zhuang Rui, could break his arm in a raw manner.
“Oh, it’s you who don’t exercise, look at your body, immediately have a comparison with Ma, well, I’m here, I’m going to take a shower first, later we contact by phone ……”
Zhuang Rui saw the elevator stop at the floor he was staying at, and hurriedly gave Yang Hao a gesture to call, and walked out with Peng Fei.
“Brother Zhuang, I was impulsive just now.”
After walking out of the elevator, Peng Fei embarrassedly said to Zhuang Rui, he used to learn all the skills of killing people to make himself survive, to say that to protect people, it really can’t be done, coupled with the fact that he just entered the elevator, his vision is not very clear, when he saw that suddenly someone reached out like Zhuang Rui, he subconsciously subdued Yang Hao.
“It’s okay, huh, they are all old friends, it’s okay, first take a shower and rest! The jadeite public plate will only start tomorrow, today let’s get well and save up our energy ……”
Zhuang Rui smiled to show that he does not care, casually took the door plate to open the room, Song Jun booked all the one-room, two-room suite. Each room has a shower room, like Zhuang Rui two people, just one person a room, and Song Jun and Fatty Ma, are with two bodyguards, then the two people will have to be a little bit of aggression, squeezed into a room to sleep.
After the bath, Zhuang Rui changed into clean clothes, walked to the living room, open the TV to see, there are actually satellite channels, you can see Kunming and other local stations, can not help but look up with interest, before listening to Peng Fei said that Burma is very chaotic, he did not have the heart to go out to play, said the history of Burma and China compared to the history of Burma is simply an unenlightened barbaric small country, nothing to turn around.
Just Zhuang Rui destined to leisure not down, just watched the TV, the phone rang, after connecting, but the mother-in-law and Taishan adults driving, Zhuang Rui this can not dare to be slow, and quickly greeted a Peng Fei, take him like the restaurant rushed to.
“You this child, come how also do not make a phone call? I was just counting with your Uncle Qin that your flight should have landed.”
Qin Haoran came two days earlier, Qin’s Jewelry is also exceptionally important to this jadeite fair, which is related to next year’s company’s raw material reserves, can be regarded as the top priority, in addition to their two families, but also came to four in the gambling line of the big famous gambling master.
Due to the Burmese military restrictions on the export of jadeite raw stone, at least in the next two years, want to smuggle raw stone directly from the Burmese jadeite mine, basically will be more difficult, the Burmese side of the big head of the soldiers but do not give you to talk about what the human rights of the smuggled directly to the shooting, so that you have reason to have no place to say go.
So many big jewelry companies, are also hoping to make some gains in this jadeite fair, to ensure the supply of raw jadeite.
“Oh, was saying that after the bath to uncle and aunt call it!”
Zhuang Rui at this time is like a good boy, who let put other people’s women to that, see elders naturally want to be a little more respectful.
“Well, let your mother have time to go around Hong Kong. By the way, there is your sister they, all come to play Well, when Xiao Bing is busy with this work, will not let her tube company design, by then you two can also be a little more time together ……”
Although Fang Yi looks like a thirty Xu people, but the age is into menopause, sitting there chattering to Zhuang Rui chat up, Qin Haoran is out of an English newspaper, pretending to read up, rare wife does not come to annoy their own, the future son-in-law will help themselves to suffer it!
“Auntie, I’ll take a call, who is so uninterested to call now!”
Zhuang Rui is listening to the drowsy, but also have to nod from time to time to show attention, the heart bitter when his cell phone rang, mouth cursing others uninteresting, but the heart is eager to pull the other party out of the phone, kissed so much.
“Hey, Yang Hao ah! I’m downstairs at the restaurant, what’s up?”
Zhuang Rui said casually on the phone, the heart also kept chanting, buddy you quickly say something, I can also find an excuse to escape ah!
“Let’s go out for a walk! I heard that Yangon’s Great Pagoda, but the world-famous, which came not to see, but also quite a pity, do you have time?”
The amplification effect on Zhuang Rui’s cell phone was quite good, Fang Yi and Qin Haoran, who were sitting across from him, both heard the voice coming out of the phone.
“This …… probably won’t work today! I still have something very important here, why don’t we go tomorrow?” Zhuang Rui’s reply made Fang Yi very satisfied, chatting with herself, that is certainly much more important than going shopping.
“Tomorrow the jadeite public market will start, where there is still time to go shopping ah! If you don’t go, I’ll call someone else.” Yang Hao had just gone back and begged his elders for half a day before he was able to get a vacation, but inside the people he knew, only Zhuang Rui was of a comparable age to him, so he couldn’t pull an old man to go shopping, right?
“Zhuang Rui, go! Some places of interest in Myanmar are still very good, since you’ve come, have fun ……”
Qin Haoran’s voice sounded like heavenly music in Zhuang Rui’s ears! However, he still put on a reluctant look and promised Yang Hao on the phone before bidding farewell to Fang Yi, doing his manners to the fullest.
“Peng Fei, is it alright to go out and around in Yangon?”
After coming out from the restaurant, Zhuang Rui remembered the safety issue, but at this time, even if there was a gun battle outside, he was not willing to go back and continue to listen to his mother-in-law’s nagging.
Peng Fei sniffed a little embarrassed and said, “Brother Zhuang, it’s fine, also blame me for being too nervous before, this is the capital of Myanmar, controlled by the government, not as chaotic as the remote areas.”
“Brother Zhuang, this way, I heard that there is an antique goods market next to that big golden pagoda, let’s go around in a while as well ……”
Zhuang Rui just walked to the entrance of the hotel, he saw Yang Hao, this guy is really anxious, has stopped a cab waiting there.
Just now the bath is considered a white wash, into the steamer general cab, that sweat immediately along the forehead down drops, hot Zhuang Rui open the window, half of the head are stretched out of the car, this is also comfortable a little bit, but it is that the short cab driver, seems to be used to this temperature, the face of the face is not the slightest bit of sweat.
Fortunately, the hotel is not very far from the Great Golden Tower, only five or six minutes of driving, in front of a building in front of the turn, the vision of the eyes opened up, into the eyes of a towering golden-colored spire, appeared in front of Zhuang Rui.
