And, of course, their pleas for mercy.

"Don't hit Big Brother, we were wrong. ”

"Please, don't fight, I really know it's wrong. ”

"Stop fighting, we don't dare, don't dare anymore......"

"Return Opal......"

"Jamaica falls ......"

"Ah...... I'm going to die, I'm going to die, don't fight......"

Guo Qiang saw that the group of young people had almost been taught a lesson by his own people, so he asked everyone to stop.

Ten people returned to Guo Qiang's side.

The group of young men were all lying on the ground, all with blue noses and swollen faces, and they were beaten into pigs' heads.

"Do you want my car now?"

The group of young people shook their heads one after another, pulling the wound on their heads, and there was a scream inside.

"No, we were wrong. ”

"Big brother, we know it's wrong. ”

Guo Qiang nodded with satisfaction.

"Now move your car out of the way, and don't delay my journey. ”

The group of young men screamed as they got up from the ground.

Two of the less injured went over and drove the car to the side of the road, and the rest of the people also sat obediently on the side of the road, looking at Guo Qiang with an aggrieved look and they got into the car, and then the two cars drove in front of them.

After Zhang Hao and the others left, infighting broke out among the young people.

The young man with the gun was their head, but not anymore, he was beaten by the rest of the youth.

The reason for hitting him is simple.

If he hadn't asked for someone else's car, they wouldn't have been beaten and would have gained millions of kyats.

It's good now, I didn't get a penny, and I was beaten.

The car continued to drive for more than two hours, and the road became more and more bumpy, and the speed could not be raised at all.

"Lao Li, how long will it take to arrive?"

Li Guoqiang looked out the car window, and then pondered for a moment.

"Mr. Zhang, it's almost three hours away. ”

"Are there still more jade mining areas in Pagang?"

Li Guoqiang shook his head.

"There's not much left, the resources are almost finished, but there are still a lot of people in the area who are mining and exploring new mining areas. And now the mining management of jadeite ore is very strict. And there are more and more warlords, and there are often skirmishes caused by jade mines. Many jadeite mines cannot be mined normally, coupled with the strict management of the controlled areas, a large number of private mining areas have been closed, which has led to many people being laid off and unable to find a livelihood. ”

Zhang Hao sighed, he didn't expect the situation to be even worse than more than twenty years ago.

More than 20 years ago, Myanmar began to strictly control the mining of jadeite mining areas, closed thousands of private mines, and rarely approved new mines, and some long-term mining areas did not renew contracts after they expired.

Pagang is one of the most legendary mines, producing many gem-quality jadeites and one of the oldest mines, and now it seems that it is retiring from the stage of history.

Originally, strict control is a good thing, which is conducive to long-term development.

However, this has led to the rise in the price of jadeite rough, and in the face of huge interests, some people have taken risks.

There are also people who pull up the line and start pinning their heads to the waistband of their pants for money.

"What is jadeite ore like? I haven't really seen jadeite rough yet. ”

"Mr. Zhang, there is a rough auction in Pagang recently, if you are interested, I can take you to have a look, by the way, you can get familiar with the jadeite rough, and you can also try your luck, maybe you can get rid of a piece of the best jadeite." ”

Hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Zhang Hao was slightly stunned.

"What's going on with the rough auction?"

"It's to hit the rough stones mined from some mines together, and everyone bids, and the one with the highest price wins. It's no different from a normal auction. Twenty years ago, there was an auction almost every month, but now there are only two auctions a year, one in the first half of the year and one in the second half of the year. There are not many mines that can produce rough stone stably, and if this development continues, it is estimated that it will be able to hold it once a year in the future. ”

Then Li Guoqiang introduced some knowledge about jadeite rough to Zhang Hao.

There is also the current situation in the jadeite market.

The price of jadeite has increased four or five times compared to 20 years ago.

This is all because wolves have more meat and less meat.

There are still jadeite mines in Myanmar, and the first ones that are controlled are not allowed to be mined, or they are mined in small amounts.

If it is not in the hands of the **, it will be snatched and grabbed every day, and no one can mine stably.

This is the most important reason for the increase in the price of jadeite.

"Mr. Zhang, in fact, as far as I know, this is a little trick played by **, they actually want to use the method of starvation sales to increase the price of jadeite rough. The mine in their hands, after so many years of mining, has long stored a large number of rough stones in their hands, just to wait for the price to rise a little more, and then sell. ”

At this time, the car drove to Myitkyina, which is rich in natural resources.

More than half of the area is densely forested, and where there are no forests, there are many villages where farmers have cleared land and cultivated rice.

Myitkyina has many trees, but also many rivers.

After another three hours of bumpy driving, Zhang Hao and the others finally drove out of those rugged mountain roads, and the car drove onto the asphalt road.

It's just that the two sides of the road are no longer green mountains and green waters, but pits and piles of abandoned soil and stones.

"Mr. Zhang, Pagang has arrived. ”

Zhang Hao ignored Li Guoqiang, but turned his head and kept looking out the car window.

No wonder Myanmar will control mining, look at the mountains and pits outside, Zhang Hao will understand.

He saw a lot of mountains, no, half of them.

The other half of the mountain has been mined, and it looks as if someone has just broken a piece of it.

There are even mountains that have been dug up, leaving only a hill foundation there.

The car was still driving forward, and Zhang Hao saw a convoy of trucks on the road.

There are also excavators, bulldozers.

Some trucks are full of ore, and when they are full, the tires are deflated a lot, and they are seriously overloaded at a glance.

"Damn, this car pulls so much, and I'm not afraid of accidents. ”

Guo Qiang chattered beside him.

Li Guoqiang explained with a smile.

"There are a few people who drive trucks here, and if they pull less, they can't make money. ”

The further the car goes, the more cars appear.

After driving some distance, Zhang Hao found several villages on the side of the road, and he also saw a lot of people.

Looking at the rows of thatched houses and adobe houses on the side of the road, Zhang Hao felt as if he had returned to the countryside in the fifties of China.

There weren't many people in the village, but you could tell that they were a bit poor.

Because many people are shirtless, wearing a pair of shorts, or directly wrapped in a quarrel.

Many of the children in the village were running around bare-bottomed.

Zhang Hao also saw several young people with broken hands and feet.

Zhang Hao's brows furrowed, he felt that Pagang shouldn't be like this, didn't Pagang produce jadeite rough stones? Why are these people still so poor?
