Jianbao life

Chapter 734

"Okay!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Xu Youhai smiled and patted Chu Chen on the shoulder. At such a young age, he can be compared to Sha Ming. Such a talent can be said to be even rarer than rare.

Afterwards, he asked again: "Xiaochen, may I ask you a question, are you betting that Shiwen is unstable?"

Zhao Qirui curled his lips and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? How could Ah Chen bet on stones unstable? Otherwise, how can I say that Ah Chen won Leng Shaming once or twice?"

Xu Youhai was surprised when he heard the words: "Ah! Didn't Leng Shaming return to Myanmar not long after participating in the 'A Thousand Dollars of Money' that time, how did Xiao Chen have the opportunity to compete with him?"

Yi Hongguo next to him said with a smile: "I said, little Xu, your memory is really bad. Have you forgotten what we just participated in?"

"Hi! I almost forgot about it!" Xu Youhai patted the back of his head, and then asked: "So, Xiaochen tried against Leng Shaming again in the public game, and won?"

"That's not true!" Yi Hongguo recounted what happened at that time with embellishments.

Although Chu Chen had given Xu Youhai enough surprises today, after listening to Yi Hongguo's narration, he was still quite shocked. He was able to solve the problem of Fu Lu Shou from a piece of wool that many people could not see the expression of. Xi, this stone betting level is already considered superb.

Xu Youhai sighed: "So, Xiaochen really has the possibility to defeat the Emerald King!"
Hearing what he said, Zhao Qirui was a little dissatisfied and said: "What is possible, it means that it can be defeated, okay?"

Xu Youhai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, let's be honest, I actually thought that Xiaochen could win, but the Jade King's level is not for nothing. Back then, he was able to start from a thunderbolt that was basically sentenced to death." Inside, get rid of the glass seed, how can such a person be defeated so easily?"

Zhao Qirui sneered and said: "Cut! It's not that Ah Chen has not unscrambled the glass seed from the thunderbolt that was sentenced to death."

"Uh..." Hearing this, Xu Youhai didn't know what to say anymore. He turned his head and asked Chu Chen with a speechless face: "I said, Xiao Chen, what other glorious deeds do you have? Tell me all about it." Come out!"

Chu Chen said with a smirk: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just playing around, and I think you're right. It's really not that easy to win the competition with the Emerald King."

Hearing this, Xu Youhai said with a smile: "Look, Xiao Chen should calm down! But Xiao Chen, what you said just now was a little too modest. You are all petty trouble, so no one is not a petty brawler." It's messed up..."

Talking and laughing, everyone took the RV to a Chinese restaurant, where, after having a meal of authentic Sichuan cuisine, everyone took the RV again and came to a military camp on the outskirts of Mandalay.

Xu Youhai got out of the RV, and said, "I said, can't you play in Mandalay for two days before going to Mijinna? Don't worry, I'll call Luna, and he promises he won't fart." Let one go, let him let go directly."

Chu Chen said politely: "Uncle Xu, thank you for your kindness, but now the news that I am going to bet against the Emerald King should have reached his own ears through Leng Shaming. Let’s settle the matter. As for playing, after the matter is over, there will be plenty of time.”

"Then do whatever you want!" Xu Youhai shrugged his shoulders: "By the way, why didn't Leng Shaming come over on the same plane as you?"

Chu Chen replied: "Our plane was full, so he booked the next one."

"My KAO is actually a Mi-6 heavy-duty transport helicopter. Such an old thing, it won't fall down halfway through the flight, right?"

As soon as Chu Chen's words fell, Yi Hongguo, who was next to him, saw the helicopter they were about to take, and immediately yelled.

"Bah bah! I said bah bah, don't be crowed, okay! Besides, this is Myanmar, and it's not bad to be able to borrow a Mi 6. Is it possible that you still want to ride a Chinook!" Xu Youhai said angrily. Said.

In fact, the performance of the Mi-6 helicopter is still outstanding. It is equipped in many countries. When it is used for passenger transport, an additional seat is added in the center of the cockpit, which can carry 65 to 90 passengers. It is more than enough to carry Chu Chen and others. .

However, just like what Yi Hongguo said, the helicopter in front of me is really too old, it is still something from the 70s. Although it is well maintained, the very old appearance still makes Chu Chen and others who are sitting on it a little bit I'm a little worried.

But there is no way, there is no plane to go to close there, only the railway is more convenient, but as far as the old railway here is concerned, it is estimated that it will take dozens of hours on it, and they don't have so much time to waste on it.

There was no way, everyone could only sit on this classic plane with some trepidation, and then flew into the sky amidst the deafening sound of propellers.

In other words, sitting on such a plane was really scary at first, but after getting used to it, Chu Chen curiously looked out the window to the ground, but all he could see were tall trees and dense forests, and there was no scenery at all. to speak of.

The mountains in Myanmar are not particularly precipitous, but they are endless. One mountain after another, the jungle is densely covered, and you can't see the end at a glance. Even with Chu Chen's skill, it is probably not short-lived to leave it alone in such a place. Time will come out.

After a rest on the way, the helicopter that Chu Chen and others took finally landed at an army camp in the suburbs of Mijina in the evening.

After getting off the plane, except for Chu Chen, Zhao Qirui and the others all turned pale and walked as if they were walking on cotton.

When Xu Youhai saw the appearance of the crowd, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a rest today, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Of course, everyone would have no objection to such an arrangement, so the group got into the car that had already parked in the barracks and went to the hotel that Xu Youhai had arranged for them.

Mekinna is an important traffic town in northern Myanmar and a trade center on the Stilwell Highway.Located on the west bank of the Mailikai River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, it is the most important river port in northern Myanmar.It is located in the northern mountainous and hilly area. Because of its special geographical location, it was a very important strategic stronghold during World War II.

It is close to the center of silk reeling, timber and food processing, and the distribution center of agricultural products.In addition to growing crops such as rice and sugar cane, it is also rich in teak and other timber.

Teak, also known as annatto, purple teak, blood tree, etc., is a large deciduous or semi-deciduous tree.It is a tropical tree species that requires higher temperatures, and its vertical distribution is mostly found in low mountains, hills and plains below 700-800 meters above sea level.

Teak can be used as medicine, and it is also a material for making high-end furniture, flooring, and indoor and outdoor decoration.Teak is known as the national treasure of Myanmar, so the price is quite expensive.The teak material itself has beautiful texture and lines, and contains gold threads, so it is also called gold teak.

In addition to teak, the Hpakant area near Mykinna is the most famous emerald mining area in the world.

Local emerald mining can be traced back to the 14th and 15th centuries.After the 90s, the Myanmar government opened up private mining. Myanmar law stipulates that jadeite mining rights are only open to Myanmar domestic enterprises, which can be exploited solely or in cooperation with the government.

In the Pagan area, almost half of the emerald mine owners are Burmese Chinese.The government provides the land, and the private sector provides funds. After the mined jadeite wool is traded in the market, 10% of the tax is paid to the government, and the rest is shared by the government and private companies according to a certain ratio.

According to conservative estimates, the annual output of jadeite in the Pagan area has been several thousand tons in recent years, but the quality of jadeite has a tendency to decrease.This situation is an incentive to push up the price of jadeite.

Speaking of it, even though Myanmar is rich in precious items such as gemstones and teak wood, they are all in the hands of a very small number of people, and most people in Myanmar are poor, lack the means of wealth, and want to change when they are poor. It has reached an unimaginable level.
Although Myanmar now wants to control the smuggling of jadeite, and even if the smuggled jadeite is caught in Myanmar, it will be shot, but because of poverty, the smuggling situation is only slightly restrained, and many people still risk their lives. Go to southern Yunnan, which is next door to Miqin, in exchange for the necessities of life.

After sitting in the car, Zhao Qirui and others closed their eyes to rest their minds because they were too tired, while Chu Chen, who was still in good spirits, looked at the scenery along the way.

Although Mekinna is an important town in northern Myanmar, all you can see are low wooden houses, and reinforced concrete buildings are very rare.In this regard, it is far worse than Yangon and Mandalay. At least in those two cities, there are still some modern buildings.

However, Chu Chen felt a little closer to Mijina. Due to its proximity to southern Yunnan in our country and some historical reasons, many of the local residents are descendants of Chinese, and their lives are more like those in China.However, there is one difference from China. Like most cities in Myanmar, the daily pace of life here is extremely slow.

The hotel that Xu Youhai arranged for Chu Chen and others was already considered the most luxurious place in the city, but after getting out of the car, Zhao Qirui was still very speechless when he saw the appearance of the hotel, because the main building of the hotel was just a small three-story building. It's just a building, and there is no word "luxury" at all.

After a careless dinner at the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms and prepared to rest.The inside of the room is also quite simple, except for a 21-inch bulky color TV, there is no electrical appliance, even the hot water is in a thermos, and the waiter has to bring it over.

Fortunately, there is a bathroom here, so Chu Chen quickly went to take a shower to wash off his tired body, and after talking on the phone with Wu Ke for a while, he went to bed and fell asleep.
