The school belle's heart thief
Chapter 377 Going to Myanmar to Buy Jade
Now that Long Xiaoyu has time to meditate and practice, he has devoted himself to studying according to Wuweiguo's martial arts secrets, and his level of Liangyi swordsmanship has also improved.It's just that the private room in the hotel lacks aura, and the aura of that piece of jade has been completely absorbed. Now that he can't leave the city, he thought of choosing some jade stones for his practice.
Long Xiaoyu got through to Guan Dali, just as Guan Dali was going to buy goods in Myanmar soon, Han Yue and Tang Ziyan were also going, Long Xiaoyu agreed.
Long Xiaoyu, Guan Dali, Han Yue, and Tang Ziyan set off from Capital Airport in the morning, arrived at Mangshi Airport in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province after a four-hour flight, and then arrived in Ruili by taxi for more than two hours.After arriving in Ruili, a friend from Dali’s business picked him up at the station, helped Long Xiaoyu and the others apply for tourist visas, and exchanged them for kyats. Guan Dali’s friend drove, and Long Xiaoyu and the others entered Myanmar in two Toyota off-road vehicles.
Through Guan Dali's introduction, Long Xiaoyu knew that the 19-year-old driving the car was called Li Sheng.Guan Dali sat in the passenger seat, Long Xiaoyu, Han Yue, and Tang Ziyan sat in the back row, Long Xiaoyu sat in the middle, and the two beauties hugged from left to right.Guan Dali knew through his sister that Tang Ziyan was also Long Xiaoyu's woman. After seeing Long Xiaoyu's innate martial arts, he and his father Guan Yuheng had accepted the fact that Long Xiaoyu had many wives.Only Li Sheng found it strange that both Han Yue and Tang Ziyan were very close to Long Xiaoyu.
In the second car sat Li Sheng's father Li Xiaozhi and his uncle Li Xiaojun, and Li Xiaojun was driving.Li Xiaozhi is in his 50s and is a well-known figure in the jade industry in Yunnan. He runs a large jade shop and is known as the "King of Jade". He and Guan Yuheng have been friends for many years, so he is also very enthusiastic about Guan Dali. Guan Dali and others came to Myanmar, and it was very interesting to support them.
After the car entered Myanmar, Han Yue and Tang Ziyan were very surprised. They didn't expect that Myanmar was like a village in China, and it was very backward.The road is only equivalent to the domestic national highway. After running for a day, it is a countryside, with occasional green cash crops on both sides, but more often it is a barren land full of weeds.Bullock carts are the most common means of transportation here.
Rest at night in a small town.Li Xiaozhi arranged for them the best farmhouse in the area, but compared with domestic ones, it looked very shabby.There are two rooms, one for Li Xiaozhi and his brother and son, one for Guan Dali and Long Xiaoyu, Han Yue, and Tang Ziyan.
"Mr. Long, the place we live in tonight is really shabby." Li Xiaozhi said to Long Xiaoyu apologetically.Li Xiaozhi knew that Long Xiaoyu was Guan Dali's brother-in-law, so he was very polite to him.
"Uncle Li, you don't need to be polite, we are not here for vacation this time." Long Xiaoyu said with a smile.
The dinner was carried by Li Xiaozhi in the car, including sausages, bread and some convenience foods. Li Xiaozhi explained that Burmese food is really hard to swallow, so it is better to eat these things.Long Xiaoyu nodded, and asked Li Xiaozhi some questions about Myanmar's jadeite minerals, and Li Xiaozhi introduced it like a treasure.
Myanmar's emerald mining area is mainly located in the upper reaches of the Wulu River in the northwest of Menggong in northern Myanmar. It is about 250 kilometers long, 15 kilometers wide, and covers an area of more than 3000 square kilometers.The emeralds produced by different pits of various mines have their own characteristics.Located in the Myitkyina City of Kachin State in northern Myanmar and Yunnan, the Hpakant region is one of the largest jadeite mining areas. It is located in the famous Golden Triangle area. It is not only the world's largest source of drugs, but also the main producer of jadeite.Local emerald mining can be traced back to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.After the 90s, the Myanmar government opened up private mining, and the jadeite industry entered the mechanized mining area.According to conservative statistics, the annual output of jadeite in the Pagan area has been around 7000 tons in recent years, but the quality of jadeite is decreasing day by day.Myanmar law stipulates that jadeite mining rights are only open to domestic enterprises, which can be exploited solely or in cooperation with the government. More than half of the emerald mine owners are Burmese Chinese.Since 00, the Burmese government has strengthened its control over jadeite wool, stipulating that after the mined jadeite wool is registered, it must be auctioned by the government before it can be exported.At present, the government holds two or three jewelry and jade auctions every year, commonly known as "public auctions".The previous fairs have been held in Yangon, but now they are moved to the new capital Nay Pyi Taw.
"Are we going to Nay Pyi Taw this time?" Long Xiaoyu asked.
"There is no public offer at this time. Let's go to Wacheng first, and then go to the mine mouth of Pagan." Li Xiaozhi said.
"Didn't it mean that the Myanmar government forbids private transactions?" Long Xiaoyu asked puzzled.
"The demand for jadeite is so large, two or three public offerings a year are simply not enough. Meng Gong's big families all have their own trading markets, and they all have their own armed forces. The government is not easy to manage, so they can only turn a blind eye. .” Li Xiaozhi said.
"Then how to ship it out of Myanmar?" Long Xiaoyu asked.
"This depends on the ability of each family. These big families have their own smuggling channels. This place borders the country, and they are usually smuggled with elephants. Of course, the rough stones smuggled are all small." Li Xiaojun said, he Completely different from his elder brother's gentleness, he looks powerful and speaks very fast.
Long Xiaoyu nodded.
"Uncle Li, have you gone to the public offer at the beginning of the year? Has the harvest been good?" Han Yue asked with a smile.
"What's the harvest? It's getting more and more difficult to do this business now, and some upstarts are so disturbed that they can't do it. The public market I went to at the beginning of the year was planned to have 5000 people participate, but 8000 people went. Don't blink, we bid tens of millions at every turn, how can we get the goods? Since the beginning of this year, the price of rough stones has increased by 80%. Previously, tens of millions of rough stones were already sky-high prices. This year, rough stones worth hundreds of millions are not uncommon. But the quality of jade is one Every year is not as good as a year, and the quality of 10 yuan per kilogram of wool is not as good as that of 3 kilograms ten years ago." Li Xiaozhi sighed.
"Why did this happen this year?" Long Xiaoyu asked.
"My analysis is because the stock market and property market are in a downturn this year, and those hot money are eyeing the rough jadeite. The hot money is at least 30 billion. I saw a businessman from Fujian who asked for a rough stone of 1000 million at once. That piece Stones are not worth that price at all. I heard that this person has never been in the jade business at all. He first used the money he earned from the stock market peak to speculate in the real estate market. I came to Burma to buy stones, my eyes are darkened, I don’t understand anything, it’s just nonsense!” Li Xiaozhi said disdainfully, that sooner or later he would lose his entire family by playing with jade like this.
Continue on the next day and arrive at Wacheng at night.Wacheng is the second largest city in Myanmar with a population of more than 0. It is the provincial capital of Mandalay Province and was once the seat of the capital.The buildings in the city are mostly built with bricks and tiles, which are different from the traditional folk bamboo and wood buildings, so they are called tile city.
The next day, Li Xiaozhi brought Long Xiaoyu and the others to Jinlong Company, which is the largest family company in Wacheng and has its own mine in Menggong.Seeing Li Xiaozhi, the boss Liu Xichun came out.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiaozhi to come here in person, and I'll serve wine to welcome the guests at night." Liu Xichun said with a smile. He is in his 40s and looks smart and capable.
"This is the legendary Boss Liu I told you about!" Li Xiaozhi introduced with a smile.
Long Xiaoyu and Guan Dali hurriedly shook hands with Liu Xichun and exchanged a few pleasantries.Before coming out, Li Xiaozhi introduced the situation of this Liu Xichun.He is quite legendary in Myanmar. He is of Chinese descent and drove a taxi when he first arrived in Myanmar.Once, a jadeite merchant took his car, paid the taxi fare with a piece of jadeite, and tried to sell him some pieces of jadeite.He immediately bought the heaviest piece for 3000 kyats, and then he sold it for 65000 kyats, but later he heard that the businessman who bought his jadeite finally sold it for 300 million, so he gave up driving a taxi and joined the jade industry .Now owns several emerald mines and is one of the largest local traders.
Liu Xichun took them to the warehouse at the back, which was very large, with many neat shelves, and many people were picking jade stones inside.This place is different from the general jadeite trading market. There are only jadeite wool, that is, rough stones.Liu Xichun asked the employees to lead Li Xiaozhi and the others to the high-end area, opened the cabinet door, and showed them some high-end rough stones.If there is no insider to lead here, the company will not give good wool to strangers.What's more, it still depends on the people who order the dishes. The company shows buyers different woolen materials based on the buyers' past experience and preferences, and the most important thing is their strength.
"Brother Xiaozhi, what do you think of this piece of jade?" Liu Xichun asked.
This is a piece of coloring material weighing 5 kilograms. From the opened window, it is full of green, and it is of ice type, with a price tag of 500 million.
Li Xiaozhi took out the special flashlight and examined it carefully.
"It looks good, with one-third of the green belt, but I don't know what's inside. But I think 500 million is still a bit much." Li Xiaozhi said after watching it for a while.
"Brother, the price is easy to handle. As long as you want, I can give you 300 million." Liu Xichun said straightforwardly.
"That's a bit embarrassing!" Li Xiaozhi was overjoyed. If it was 300 million, he should be able to ask for it.
"I want 300 million!" A high-pitched voice came.Li Xiaozhi and Long Xiaoyu turned around.
A group of people were like stars holding the moon, surrounded by a young man who was over years old. This man was wearing a brand-name T-shirt and sunglasses, and he looked arrogant.
"Zheng Shuang?" Long Xiaoyu called out, because he was very familiar with this person. He was his former patient, Zheng Shuang, the son of Zheng Xuejun of the Provincial Party Committee!After Zheng Shuang was poisoned, it took Long Xiaoyu a long time to cure him. Of course he was very familiar with it.
"Doctor Long?" Zheng Shuang was also very surprised, but then asked in a nonchalant tone: "You are not treating diseases in the East China Sea, why did you come to Myanmar?"
This sentence made Long Xiaoyu very uncomfortable to hear, why can't I come if you can come to Myanmar?But he didn't show it, he just said lightly: "Come out and take a look."
Zheng Shuang's attention was still on the rough stone, "Boss, I want this piece of jade!"
Liu Xichun glanced at Zheng Shuang, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "My guest, this piece of wool is sold to you for 500 million yuan, a one-buy price, and there is no room for negotiation."
Zheng Shuang's face immediately changed, "Boss, you wouldn't do business like this without you! You sold him 300 million, and you sold it to me for 500 million. Are you taking me for a ride?"
Liu Xichun's face also turned cold, "I'm sorry, you are different from him, this is my old friend, how much to sell is my business. Selling to you can only be a price."
"Isn't it right for you to do this? We are all customers, and we all come to buy jade from you. Why can't you treat everyone equally?" Zheng Shuang said aggressively.
"Forget it, Boss Liu, sell it to him for 300 million, and treat it as selling it to me." Li Xiaozhi waved his hand and said with a look of disgust on his face.
Long Xiaoyu got through to Guan Dali, just as Guan Dali was going to buy goods in Myanmar soon, Han Yue and Tang Ziyan were also going, Long Xiaoyu agreed.
Long Xiaoyu, Guan Dali, Han Yue, and Tang Ziyan set off from Capital Airport in the morning, arrived at Mangshi Airport in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province after a four-hour flight, and then arrived in Ruili by taxi for more than two hours.After arriving in Ruili, a friend from Dali’s business picked him up at the station, helped Long Xiaoyu and the others apply for tourist visas, and exchanged them for kyats.
