Chapter 826

Wang Kai: "Hey, our young lady is quick-tempered and straightforward, don't mind."

Wang Zhongmou: "It's good to be refreshing, I like to deal with people who are refreshing."

Wang Kai: "Then we will have to thank you, Brother Wang, during the time we are in Pagan Town."

Wang Zhongmou: "I am also a straightforward person. Since we are all in the same family, I don't want to see outsiders. If you have any needs, just ask me, brother. I will never be vague about what my brother can do."

This Wang Zhongmou seems to be an old fritter.

Wang Zhongmou took them to visit their company's jade jewelry store first.

A large pavement facing the street.

The first floor is full of rough stones, and some tourists are there to choose. They can choose whatever they want after paying a little money. After the selection is made, they will be handed over to the on-site master for cutting to see if there is any jade in it. If there are any, they can also help with processing.It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it doesn't cost much anyway, what if there is something expected?Posted soon?So many people enjoy it.

On the second floor is the finished jade jewelry. Customers look at it on the first floor. If they need good jade, they can go to the second floor to buy it.

Pointing to the stones on the first floor, Wang Zhongmou said: "...unprocessed raw jadeite is called "wool". In the jadeite trading market, wool is also called "stone", and wool full of green is called "colored goods"; The green uneven wool is called "flower brand material", and the large wool material without high emerald green is called "brick material". "Gambling stone", or "gambling goods". The outer skin of the gambling stone is wrapped with thin or thick original stone skin. Different gambling stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors. Jade The most profitable, the most tempting, but also the most risky in the transaction is stone gambling. There is a jargon in the jewelry industry: gambling with stones is like betting your life. If you win the bet, you will earn ten times and a hundred times, and you will become rich overnight; If you lose your bet, you lose everything. Compared with the stone betting, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are tender and pale in comparison. However, the stone betting in our store is a small business, a means to attract customers It’s different from those gambling stones that cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions in the jewelry market. Are you interested in playing?”

Guo Qiqi was very interested in this, "Zhu Zhu, let's pick a few rough stones and try our luck."

Zhu Yan: "Okay."

Wang Kai: "Go ahead, choose whatever you want. I don't count, but you do."

Guo Qiqi and Zhu Yan walked towards the pile of rough stones with great interest.

Wang Zhongmou said: "The rough stones piled up here are not high-grade. They are reserved for tourists to gamble with stones. The real high-quality rough stones will not stay here. They have been selected and sent to the processing base in Wacheng. I went. But there is still jade in it, it depends on everyone's luck."

Wang Kai: "Our two ladies are very lucky."

Wang Zhongmou: "Really? We'll have to wait and see. Why don't you give it a try?"

Wang Kai: "I'm not interested in this."

Wang Zhongmou: "Then let's wait for them over there."

There is a rest area with sofas and tea for customers.

Wang Kai and Wang Zhongmou sat there waiting for Zhu Yan and Guo Qiqi to choose.

Wang Kai: "Brother Wang, how long have you been here."

Wang Zhongmou: "It's almost 20 years?"

"Wow, after so long, I'm almost half Pagan!"

"you do not say."

Wang Zhongmou talked about his experience of coming here.

His hometown is in Province Y, and he came here with a dream in his youth.

Because he heard that there are jade everywhere in Pagan Town, as long as you can pick it up, you will get rich.So he came to Pagan with several fellow villagers.

However, the reality is not what they imagined.

The jade mining area in Pagan Town is controlled by several major miners.

These people must go to the mine to do coolies to enter the mine, or they can't even enter the mine, where can they just pick up jade?

All they could pick up were discarded stones dug out of the mine.

Here, these people who live by picking up discarded stones are called individual jade mine pickers.

There are tens of thousands of such pickers in Pagan.

These individual jade mine pickers, first dig jade in abandoned mines for a living;

The second is these individual jade mine pickers. They gather in various mining areas, waiting for the trucks to dump out the truckloads of waste. They work day and night in these waste piles, hoping to pick up some jade. .If you are lucky, you can pick up rough jade stones of slightly better quality and sell them at a good price.Those who are unlucky spend their lives digging and digging all the year round, but they still get nothing.

They put their lives at risk for the dream of getting rich.Due to the complex terrain and the lack of safety measures, landslides and fatal accidents often occur.

At the beginning, Wang Zhongmou also followed others to dig in abandoned mines. After experiencing the collapse incident, he never dared to go in again.

Two companions who came with him were killed and one injured.He was lucky.

So he didn't dare to go down to the mine anymore, and he just picked up the waste dumped by the truck in the open-air dam.

However, in the process of scavenging, most of the gravel is worthless.Only when you are lucky can you find a piece of jade that can be sold and exchange it for money to buy food.

Before that, Wang Zhongmou found the most valuable jade and sold it for only $5, not even enough to eat.

What most people face is the harsh mining environment and the huge dream pressure. These problems have brought endless pain to the miners in Hpakant. In order to relieve the pain, many workers have become addicted to drugs.Some people say that the miners in Pagan escaped the mine disaster and the landslide, but they could not escape the DP.

From a distance, you can see people coming and going in the small bamboo house on the mountain. When you get closer, you can find that it is the HLY injection point.

Wang Kai: "You, don't you?"

Wang Zhongmou: "I didn't. The education I received since I was a child is that I must never touch it. So no matter how hard or tiring I am, I will bear it.

Wang Kai: "There is no gain here, so why don't you go back?"

Wang Zhongmou: "At the beginning, I came here with the purpose of making a lot of money. What's the point of going back like this? So I stayed here all the time, more or less hopeful in my heart, thinking that one day I would pick up a piece Valuable jade.

Most people here are like that.

If you don't dig jade, you won't return home.

If you have a dream, you can stick to it.

Go hungry and persevere.

Time just passed by day by day.

I was lucky. Although I didn't pick up a few pieces of jade after being here for a few years, I was also familiar with people who were familiar with the place and accumulated a certain amount of experience. I can probably tell that there is no jade in the stone.

Although it's not 100% accurate, it's pretty close.So many people asked me to give them palm eyes, and I earned a little service fee.Barely took root here.Later, this place opened up and attracted a large number of tourists. I would also serve as a tour guide for those tourists, helping them see what to pick and choose.Gradually gaining a little fame, I can get enough food and clothing here.
