Chapter 0453 – The Explicit Marker (X)
“Yeah! Pachang is in the Myitkyina region, which is also the most concentrated place of jadeite pits in Myanmar, and almost all of the jadeite raw stones, are mined from there.”
Hu Rong smiled, he categorized Zhuang Rui’s question as a young man’s curiosity about the jadeite mines, and then said, “In fact, the jadeite mines and other resource mines, they are all pretty much the same, if Zhuang little brother has time, when this public market is over, I will take you to see …… ”
“That’s good! Thank you first brother Hu, I have a jade mine in Xinjiang, I don’t know what the difference is between the two, I was thinking of going to see it!” Zhuang Rui quickly nodded his head and agreed, with Hu Rong leading the way to the Myitkyina region, it was always much more convenient than himself and Peng Fei rashly intruding.
Zhuang Rui had inquired before, Myanmar’s private mine owners, for the jade pit management, is extremely strict.
Due to the perennial war in Myanmar, and close to the Golden Triangle, so these mine owners. After applying for an ore mining license, will be more than ten kilometers around the pit, are assigned to their own sphere of influence, and armed protection of the mine, like a small kingdom.
All Burmese mine owners do not welcome outsiders to enter their mining areas, and they have the right to warn outsiders to quit and expel them by force, and they will not bear any legal responsibility even if they are killed or injured.
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei’s plan, the intention is to avoid these pits, but they did not go to the scene, and do not know that map labeled with the red sun place, whether it is the place of the hidden treasure, in case of close to the emerald pits, then, they also have to risk entering the.
But get Hu Rong’s invitation, this treasure hunting trip will become much easier, if there is really emerald mine, even if it is not Hu Rong’s pit, Zhuang Rui by virtue of Hu Rong’s face, around the turn, should not be a big problem.
Hu Rong on Zhuang Rui said Xinjiang jade mine is also very interested, he himself is also a jewelry designer, not only design jade jewelry, for the diamond nephrite as well as other gemstones, are dabbling in, at the moment and Zhuang Rui discussed.
Of course, the so-called discussion is basically Hu Rong said, Zhuang Rui listen, for the jade cognition, Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong still have a big gap, but Zhuang Rui occasionally a few words, or can say on the point, so that Hu Rong encountered the feeling of confidant.
Several people have been chatting until ten o’clock, Hu Rong only got up to say goodbye, actually some reluctant to leave, told Zhuang Rui and so on the end of the General Assembly, he will send a car over to pick up Zhuang Rui together to go to Pachang area.
Zhuang Rui went back and Peng Fei said, Peng Fei is also very happy, he originally had some concerns, with their own hands, into the jungles of Myitkyina, can be unknowingly, but to bring Zhuang Rui, that the danger is much greater, now can follow others to enter the place, as long as to look for the opportunity to go to the map marked place can be.
“Zhuang Rui, hurry up. Just waiting for you, eh, where’s that assistant of yours? He’s not going today?”
Fatty Ma stuck his head out of the window of the Chinese bus in front of the hotel and couldn’t stop urging Zhuang Rui, who had just rushed out of the hotel, to get on the bus.
The time of the Myanmar Grand Prix was from 9:00 a.m., in order not to delay the wool traders to shop for wool, the organizing committee decided to advance the time of the unraveling of the stones by two hours, so all that it was only 6:30 a.m., the organizing committee’s bus and the Chinese bus that Qin Haoran had found were parked in front of the hotel.
“Peng Fei doesn’t know how to gamble on stones, so he won’t be there today.”
Zhuang Rui spoke while getting into the Chinese bus, Peng Fei was going to prepare something today, the two of them couldn’t use their hands to dig a hole then!
Fatty Ma nodded and said, “Well, my people also let them stay in the hotel, if I had known that Burma’s security was so good, I wouldn’t have brought those two here.”
Before coming to Burma, Fatty Ma and Zhuang Rui thought the same thing, thinking that these are warlords and bandits, who knows that only after coming to Burma did they realize that Burma is a country that believes in Buddhism, and the locals are all very kind, and even if you lose your wallet on the road, there will be people who will send it back.
As for those rumors are not all false, just those chaotic areas are close to Myanmar and Thailand, Laos and China bordering the place, that is also due to its special geographical environment.
The bus quickly drove to the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center, there were already two buses parked there, due to the organizing committee’s rules is not until the time, can not enter to the gambling venue. They temporarily moved the equipment to an open space at the entrance that could accommodate thousands of people, and connected the power supply to pull up a cordon, with soldiers carrying guns on the periphery to maintain order.
Pulled the cordon on the open space, has stood more than two hundred people, Zhuang Rui they are the second batch to come, can still occupy a good position, squeezed to the front row, see that the labeled 1888 wool, has been placed in the decomposition machine next to.
After standing still, Qin Haoran pointed inside to a person standing next to the stone decomposition machine, said to Zhuang Rui: “Xiao Rui, that person is the boss of the domestic Zhonghai Jixiang Jewelry, Jixiang Jewelry is also a hundred years old, their roots are very deep ……”
“Oh, I don’t know what benefits the organizing committee gave them, so that they are willing to solve the stone on site ……”
Zhuang Rui nodded, but in his heart is a little unimpressed, this stone will certainly bet down, I’m afraid that by then not only the organizing committee face ugly, is that this auspicious jewelry is also will be greatly injured, this bet down not only represents the loss of money, for their company’s image. Will also have a great impact.
“Aigoo, Mr. Ma, Mr. Song, you two are also here?”
Zhuang Rui’s group just squeezed in, someone greeted, although China is not a small place, but some circles are not big, come to Myanmar these people, not to say all recognize it! But see 10 people, at least four or five are familiar with the face.
“Oh. Mr. Liu, you play metal, also come together this hustle and bustle to come?” As soon as Fatty Ma saw the man, he greeted him with a smile.
“That person is the boss of a non-ferrous metal in Zhonghai, business is doing great, no less than a few billion dollars, I did not expect to also come to gamble on the stone.”
Song Jun was considered half official and half businessman in the country, with some of the arrogance of the princelings left in his body, he just nodded his head and greeted the man, and then introduced himself to Zhuang Rui in a low voice.
Zhuang Rui slightly shook his head, look at this way, not only is the jewelry company in the purchase of raw stone, even those domestic capital predators, also inserted a foot in, so that the domestic market price of emerald has to go higher.
Just so bitter is those consumers, as the saying goes, the wool comes out of the sheep, jewelry companies can lose money for a while, but always have to make this money back from the consumers.
“Mr. Ma, Mr. Song, you two see, this piece of material is up or down ah?”
Since everyone was familiar with each other, that General Manager Liu brought a young man of a young age around him and squeezed inside Zhuang Rui’s group.
Fatty Ma shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say! It is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade, no one knows without unraveling it, but according to me, the possibility of the bet collapsing is very high, because this old brother of mine is not optimistic ……”
Zhuang Rui laughed bitterly, he just in the car more what mouth ah! This was again taken by Fatty Ma.
That Mr. Liu glanced at Zhuang Rui and said with some disbelief: “Mr. Ma, this is not necessarily, the Myanmar side is willing to encourage the auspicious company to come to cut the stone, it must have certainty.”
Zhuang Rui smiled and didn’t reply. He was too lazy to bullshit with these people, turn back the original stone all open, not everything is known ah!
Just Zhuang Rui good temper, Fatty Ma is for their own little brother to play up the hold, said: “Mr. Liu, my brother betting on the stone, ten bets in nine, you still do not believe ……”
“Okay, Brother Ma, if you say it again, I will become the King of Gamblers.” Zhuang Rui laughed and interrupted Fatty Ma’s words, his own total purchase of jadeite wool has not been ten it, I do not know how Fatty Ma’s nine out of ten bets is calculated.
The young man standing next to Mr. Liu, suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Ma, why don’t we bet on it?”
“Big D, your kid’s gambling nature is still so big ah? Mr. Liu, aren’t you afraid that he’ll lose all those precious metals in your company’s warehouse in a bet?” Fatty Ma laughed out loud after hearing the man’s words.
“Big D, don’t play your set, if you want to gamble, turn around and find someone to play poker with ……”
Although Mr. Liu was reprimanding the people around him, but his face was all smiles and he wasn’t angry.
“Hey, a small gamble can be happy, Mr. Ma said that this piece of material will be betting on the collapse, I open the betting bank, bet on the collapse of one to two, bet on the rise of one to one, there is no one to place a bet ah?”
The young man does not seem to be afraid of their own boss, smiling then said: “But I do not have so much money, a person bet the amount of money, limited to 10,000, have to bet to find me ah!”
To say that this man, there is a kind of gambling in his bones, the bigger the business, the bigger the gambling, in their a decision to decide the flow of ten million funds, why not in the gambling ah!
So this person called Big D yell, there are really people to join in the fun, next to a few people took out their notebooks, tearing off a piece of paper as a betting slip, a time, ten or so people to this Big D surrounded, but it is to steal the limelight over there ready to unravel the stone.
“Brother Ma, what is this person doing?”
Zhuang Rui look is dumbfounded, today is to see the decalcification of ah, actually someone is sitting on the bank to open up gambling, more people are speechless, there are so many support the scene, look at the fat man’s meaning, also want to go up to play a hand.
“Oh, that kid called Dai Jun, his family is very powerful in Zhonghai, but also the shareholders of the metal company, he came back from studying abroad, was arranged to the old Liu’s company in charge of human resources and logistics of this piece, this guy was born addicted to gambling, but gambling are not big, and also very restrained, so the old Liu does not care about his go, we also go to the pressure of a bet, I bet you win! ……”
After explaining to Zhuang Rui, Fatty Ma also moved that weighty body to squeeze through, his mouth also yelled, “Hey hey, Big D, I bet this piece of wool cut down, count me a bet!”
