Chapter 63: Mandalay
Li Hongyi was asleep, and Sister Gray explained the essence of "The Ancient Law of the Western Regions" to Li Hongyi in a dream. Awakened by a knock on the door, Li Hongyi was about to open the door in his pajamas, and glanced at the incense hall casually, Sun Changshui was still meditating and cultivating with a smile on his face. When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Lei pulling her suitcase and now outside the door, "Is this a runaway from home and coming to live with me?"
"What do you think, don't I come to meet you on tonight's plane? Zhang Lei will put breakfast on the table.
Li Hongyi then remembered that he had booked a flight to Yangon, Myanmar tonight, and then went to Mandalay to participate in the jade auction during dinner last night.
"Let's go wash up, Brother Shui hasn't gotten up yet? After Zhang Lei finished speaking, she sat on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch.
Sun Changshui came out of the incense hall and saw that there was breakfast on the table, so he sat down and devoured it: "I will go to the bank to exchange the kyats with meat, and then get a bank card that can be used from abroad, by the way, I will go to Senior Brother Wang's at noon, leave some money, and if there is a suitable house, I can buy it directly." ”
"Okay, Brother Shui, you can just watch it. Li Hongyi agreed, and the Western Regions evil art taught by Sister Gray last night recorded that there were head-lowering techniques and raising little ghosts in Southeast Asia, and he suddenly felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it.
Sun Changshui came to Tanghe Town to meet with a little brother who was an intermediary, and this little brother pointed to a three-story building along the street in front of him and said to Sun Changshui: "Brother Shui, that building, this is also the central street of the town, and the original owner opened a bigger door in the city, so this plan is to be transferred." ”
Sun Changshui released the newspaper horse to check it, but did not see the yin qi and bad energy field, but the energy of wealth, which proved that the feng shui of this building was good. After Sun Changshui walked in, the first floor was about eighty or ninety square meters, but it was enough to use, and there was a bathroom at the back; went up the stairs to the second floor, which was divided into three rooms, and there were beds, air conditioners, and TVs, and there were two bedrooms and a dining room, plus a bathroom. After coming to the third floor, there is an entire area, empty, presumably used for the warehouse.
Sun Changshui smoked a cigarette on the small balcony on the third floor and observed that the flow of people back and forth was also good, and then said to his younger brother: "Contact the owner, buy it, and tell me the lowest price, I will not lose any of your hard work." In the eyes of these younger brothers, Sun Changshui is a big brother-level figure, and it is a great fortune to be able to do things for him and be appreciated, of course, he works very hard.
After a period of telephone communication, the final transaction price was agreed to be 1.8 million, Sun Changshui nodded and made a phone call to ask Xiao Wang to take Wang Wenming over.
After a while, the two of them came to this building along the street, and Sun Changshui took Wang Wenming around and asked how he felt? Wang Wenming also felt that it was quite suitable, so he asked the younger brother to take Wang Wenming to go through the transfer procedures.
Wang Wenming didn't react: "Old Sun, what do you mean, I can't afford to buy this house, why did I pay it back?"
"Hongyi bought it, put it in your name, and tell fortunes here in the future, and live here. In the future, we will also have a foothold, so don't shirk, go through the formalities quickly, do you think I can trick you?" Sun Changshui explained.
"Don't lie to me, you kid, I don't read much. ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Wang will accompany you for a while, Hongyi and I are going to go on a long trip, just tell Xiao Wang to do anything, it's all my own brothers. After speaking, he took out a card and gave it to Senior Brother Wang: "There are two million here, after buying the store, pick up some furniture and buy some furniture, and wait for us to come back in a few days to warm the pot for you." I still have to go beforehand. Sun Changshui turned around and drove away in a big BMW.
Wang Wenming looked at the card in his hand and thought to himself: "My little junior brother has come out, if the master knows, he will be very pleased." ”
After Sun Changshui left, he went to the commercial building to buy himself and Li Hongyi summer clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen and a lot of equipment for a seaside vacation, because he checked the hot weather and the seaside on the Internet, and began to fantasize about the sight of the seaside beauties wearing bikinis.
At noon, when the big bag and Xiao Tiliu returned to the residence, he opened the door and saw Li Hongyi holding Zhang Lei on the sofa watching TV: "Yo Yo Yo, didn't the little couple just do something other meaningful?"
After Zhang Lei coughed embarrassedly, she looked at what Sun Changshui bought, colorful beach short sleeves and pants, big sunglasses, swimming rings...... The more you look at it, the more unreliable it becomes. "I said, why do you buy sunscreen, you old man? ”
"I searched for Myanmar travel essentials from the Internet, made a list and bought them. Have you all packed up? Why hasn't that kid Zhao Xuande come yet? The tickets are all with him, and this is the first time I've taken a plane, do you say that thing is dangling in the sky?" Sun Changshui asked Zhang Lei, he knew that Li Hongyi must have taken a plane for the first time.
"Just try it, look at your excitement, it really doesn't match your age, like a child. Zhang Lei continued to watch the TV series and ignored Sun Changshui.
Sun Changshui told Nian Nian last night that she was going to go far away, and she had to go with her, but she didn't have an ID card or a passport, and besides, the skills of these immortals would be restricted a lot after they went abroad, but in the end, she couldn't stand Nian Nian's stalking, so she had to put her divine sense in a pendant and put it around her neck.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xuande also came here with a backpack, and the three of them were surprised that Zhao Xuande didn't bring more things?
"You three don't have to bring so many things, things over there are much cheaper than in China, who still buys swimming rings, my God, most of the daily necessities over there are made in China. After Zhao Xuande finished speaking, these three people, you look at me, I look at you, and began to pack up the luggage again. This time, from a large suitcase, it has also become a small backpack for one person like Zhao Xuande.
Xue Changwei drove a Mercedes-Benz business car downstairs, and several people went downstairs to the airport.
After coming to the platform designated on the ticket, sitting on a chair and waiting for registration, the most miserable of several people is Sun Changshui, seeing the beautiful beauty of the airport and looking at it twice, there was a pain in his chest, so he had to close his eyes and recuperate only to talk to Nian Nian in the pendant, and his heart was extremely sad, and he wanted to hook up with the flight attendant, but it seemed to be in vain. Now I regret it very much. I just hope that after leaving the mainland, her mana will weaken so much that she can't affect herself, this is really a happy couple.
Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, is one of the political, economic, and cultural centers of Myanmar. It is named because it is backed by Mandalay Hill. Because the famous ancient capital of Myanmar is Ava in its suburbs, the overseas Chinese in Myanmar call it "Wacheng". There are ruins of Dufferin Castle, the Forbidden City, temples, monasteries and the old British ** building. The suburb of Mandalay Hill is 260 meters above sea level, with exquisite temple architecture on the top of the mountain, and a white pagoda at the bottom of the mountain and a square under the mountain. It is one of the Buddhist holy places in Myanmar and a tourist attraction.
After getting off the plane, I came out of the station and saw a young man holding a sign that said "Zhao Xuande" This person is called Ge Danwei, who is the person in charge of the raw material acquisition office of the jade company under the Zhao Xuande family in Myanmar, and the original international student in the mainland spoke fluent Mandarin: "Er Shao, I'm so happy to see you again, these are your friends, welcome to Mandalay, the hotel has been prepared for you, go and rest first." ”
Godanway took us out of the airport and got into the Buick business car for the company's reception. Directly took us to a large hotel, although the conditions are a little worse than the domestic conditions, but it is also a better local hotel, Godanway explained to us that because of the jade fair, the world's major jewelry buyers have flocked to Mandalay, so the hotel room is very tight recently, so I had to choose here, fortunately close to the upcoming trade fair market.
Mandalay Jade Market is the largest jade market in Myanmar, this jade fair is divided into two major trading areas, in the periphery of this like a vegetable market, even the vegetable market is not as good as the "slum", every day large and small jade transactions, hundreds of thousands of millions of transactions are common. The market covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, and there is not a single decent house in it, all of which are tattered tin sheds, oilcloth sheds and even thatched huts. This is the peripheral trading market, which is mainly the main purchase channel for mass or small and medium-sized companies.
But the likes of the world's top luxury goods companies and large multinational jewelry companies have their markets in the castle-like building next to it, which is surrounded by a cordon.
A company like Zhao Xuande's family must be on the periphery, but the old man of his family didn't know how to get a quota for the inner circle of this trade fair, stipulating that one quota can bring two people into the market. So this time, tomorrow's plan is for Zhao Xuande, Li Hongyi, and Zhang Lei to participate in the inner trade fair. Sun Changshui and Xue Changwei followed Ge Danwei to play around.
In the evening, several people came to the snack street to taste the local specialties of Myanmar and walked on the street, this not rich city many of the people who come and go are Chinese, even the local residents can speak a few words of Mandarin, the local people are Buddhist believers, so with high-quality psychological elements, one is not too much pressure on life; the other is extremely simple life has long been used to. No wonder the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas warn the world that if you have a good attitude, luck will always come to take care of you.
Because of the upcoming trade fair tomorrow, there are more soldiers patrolling on the street, and you can see a team of four or five soldiers on duty every few hundred meters.
Sun Changshui was interested in seeing the light ***, so he asked Gedanwei why there were so many guns here, and those patrolling the street carried guns. Only then did I learn that due to the increase in armed warfare among various ethnic groups in the country, the demand for weapons is also rising. ** Some of the weapons issued by the army to the militia groups were inconvenient to use in important wars, so modern guns were purchased for use, which made it difficult to control the arms market in the border areas of Myanmar. Now it is no longer difficult to buy weapons, you can use a computer to operate a few times, although the Internet makes it more convenient for us, and weapons from various countries can be purchased at will, but it increases the difficulty of weapon control. In border areas, guns, hands, bullets, etc. are divided into prices according to different models. There are hundreds of militia groups in Myanmar, and the weapons they use are legally imported from abroad with military approval, as well as some weapons that enter the country without registration. Now you can buy all kinds of weapons produced abroad online, and the seller will send the goods to the address you specify.
After hearing Sun Changshui give Xue Changwei a look, Xiao Xue understood what he meant.
