Chapter 532: The Du Family

Mandalay.

As the second largest city in Myanmar and the largest number of Chinese people, the Chinese style here gives a strong thrill to travel. When Zhou You got off the plane, he was greeted by a group of guests who spoke Mandarin, and Ma Fatzi even communicated with one of them about something, talking very lively, and it didn't seem that he had been accosted temporarily.

As for the Suva family's matter, although Zhou You didn't pay attention to it again, he gave a death order. Naturally, Li Sisi tried his best to snipe at the Suva family's trade, while the Burmese side bit them with the law and did not give them a chance to breathe. As long as the domestic trade network is broken, the Suva family will not have the ability to continue, and the longer it drags on, the more financially constrained the Suva family will become, and once the matter is not resolved, the only thing waiting for the Suva family is bankruptcy life.

As for whether the Suva family will bow to Zhou You, that is no longer what Zhou You has to care about, after all, he is now in Mandalay, where can he still bother to pay attention to the Suva family.

"Knowing your old acquaintance in a foreign land!"

Ma Fatzi came back satisfied, ran to Zhou You and sighed: "I didn't expect to meet the old comrades-in-arms of the Myanmar Gongpan here, what a luck." ”

"Old comrades?"

The more you listen, the more you wonder.

Ma Fatzi said: "Lao Huang and I have participated in a lot of Myanmar public fairs, so naturally we have some acquaintances. Don't look at me and Lao Huang's total assets are very strong, but when we come to the Myanmar public market, we really can't make a splash. Therefore, in order to ensure our jewelry business to the greatest extent, we joined hands with several old acquaintances in China to cooperate in the auction, and if we got it, we would share it evenly according to the pre-agreement. And this one was one of our comrades-in-arms just now. ”

Zhou You asked: "It's strange, then why is he here? Even if he wants to participate in the Myanmar public market, it will be in Naypyidaw." ”

Ma Fatzi replied with a smile: "The Myanmar public market is held three times a year, and the latest one will take nearly a month to start. However, this old comrade-in-arms has a deep relationship in Myanmar, and he knows how to enjoy life, so he always comes to Myanmar a lot of time in advance every year, and then participates slowly for a month. ”

"I see. ”

Zhou You is very interested in this person.

However, the people left in a hurry, ignoring themselves, and traveling around can only regret it.

Ma Fatzi said: "Xiaoyou, Mandalay is a big city in the north of Myanmar, whether it is to the north or west is endless primeval forests, mountains and rivers, and the largest production area of jadeite is in this area, and our partner is also there." Mandalay is our last stop, and it's basically hard work, so you have to enjoy it. ”

"I'm mentally prepared. ”

Zhou You is not a noble character, he can't endure hardship, but he feels that he suddenly ran to such a remote place, just to help see a batch of wool, which is a bit of a waste of time.

Ma Fatzi knew that Zhou You's psychology was not very balanced, so he could only make up for Zhou You as much as possible, and said, "Xiaoyou, why don't we go and see the pagoda." When you come to Myanmar, if you don't look at the temple pagoda, it will be really in vain. ”

Zhou You said: "Didn't we visit the pagoda yesterday? ”

In Mandalay during World War II, most of the buildings were destroyed, but only the ancient imperial city and its towers survived. Therefore, there are many signs of manual restoration of cultural relics and monuments in Mandalay, and it is really difficult to find cultural relics with spiritual power from them.

Instead of wasting time on useless searches, you can go straight to antiques. You must know that Mandalay is famous for its winemaking, woodcarving, jade carving, gold and silver jewelry, and you may be able to gain something from traveling here.

When he came to Mandalay, Ma Fatzi was no longer as monotonous as before, and the company formed in cooperation with a small Burmese family sent representatives to replace the previous tour guide and become the new tour guide who traveled around them.

The new tour guide, who is half Chinese, is called Du Bo, and is not only a direct member of the small family, but also a powerful figure in the joint venture. According to Ma Fatzi's introduction, this Du Bo has some influence in Mandalay, but he doesn't see much light.

Interestingly, this Du Bo's attitude towards Zhou You is far more respectful than that of Ma Fatzi, which can be described as "awe", which surprised Zhou You and Ma Fatzi.

Du Bo saw that Zhou You was very curious about the things of the previous era, and said cautiously: "Teacher Zhou, the cultural monuments in the main city have been bombed in the past, if Teacher Zhou wants to see the monuments, we will have a look at the surrounding area." ”

Zhou You refused: "No, instead of having that time, it's better to solve the matter of jade wool as soon as possible." ”

Du Bo immediately replied: "Yes, our family has long been ready to welcome Mr. Zhou. ”

Ma Fatzi reminded: "Xiaoyou, it used to be a three-hour drive, and it was bumpy all the way, so don't be too hasty when we just got off the plane." ”

Zhou You replied: "No, if you want to play, you are not in a hurry at this time, it is better to finish the business as soon as possible, and after coming back, wouldn't it be better to carefully experience the customs and customs of Myanmar?"

Du Bo immediately patted his ass and said: "Teacher Zhou's work attitude makes Xiaobo admire!"

Ma Fatzi was helpless and said: "Okay, anyway, the Du family has concentrated all the half-gambling wool we want to choose in the county seat, and we have to go to the mountain road for two hours less, which is much better than before." ”

Traveling around the dark center is frightened.

The small mines are located in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is really time-consuming to get there. Now they can concentrate in the county seat to travel around and screen, which is already very face-saving. If you are not sure about traveling, then next time you will have to go to each small mine to screen.

"Please come with us!"

Du Bo immediately asked his men to prepare, and invited them to get into his car.

However, Zhou You said: "No, we have special off-road vehicles, and it is no problem to deal with the roads here." ”

After speaking, Zhou You pointed to Mogan's vehicle.

Du Bo looked over and was immediately deflated.

Du Bo spent a lot of thought in order to prepare for the trip. I also went to find a relatively comfortable off-road vehicle for running mountain roads, and I didn't want to travel around but brought a better vehicle. Looking at the modified off-road vehicle that was armed to the teeth, Du Bo felt that he still underestimated the energy of travel, and it was incredible that he could get such an arm in Myanmar, a country dominated by soldiers.

The most important thing is that Du Bo originally wanted to allow himself to sit with Zhou You to facilitate communication of feelings. Even if you can't establish a practical alliance, at least you can get acquainted, and it won't be so embarrassing to ask for something in the future.

It's a pity that it's not now.

In fact, it is not Zhou You who is playing prestige, but his own needs. Last night he asked Mogan to send two men to drive their two modified off-road vehicles first, hoping to catch up with his use today.

Du Bo, who was a little sad, could only silently lead the convoy and slowly drive towards the small county town dominated by the Du family.

Say it's three hours.

Because it drove relatively smoothly, it ended up driving for four hours. When I got there, it was past lunchtime, so Du Bo was not embarrassed. The first arrival of the distinguished guest made him hungry, for whatever reason.

Fortunately, Zhou You and Ma Fatzi are not stingy people, and under the warm invitation of the Du family, they barely made up for it.

It's just that when I came to this small county town that seemed to be a small mountain town a few decades ago, I could see through the entire city center at a glance, and I showed quite curiosity when I traveled around. It's not that there are any antiques here, or that the architecture here is very tasteful, but that more than eighty percent of the people here are of Chinese descent, and more than half of them are pure Chinese.

Hearing Mandarin all over the streets in a foreign country, it is really intimate to travel around.

Du Kang, the head of the Du family, is said to be also an educated youth from China, and he is also very solid. And he didn't want to be incognito like other educated youths, but chose the route of high-profile secession and occupation. After more than a decade of struggle, the Burmese government finally forced the Burmese government to recognize their status, and the Du family, which had settled here, became the well-deserved overlord of this small county.

"Come on......

Du, whose face was flushed, couldn't help but toast to Zhou You: "I heard General Cheng say that Mr. Zhou's mass, when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Zhou You raised his cup and replied: "It turns out that the head of the Du family and Uncle Cheng are old acquaintances." ”

Du Kang had vaguely pointed out that Du Kang could gain a firm foothold in Myanmar before, which was inseparable from the secret support of the Cheng family. Now that he says this, the delicate relationship between the Du family and the Cheng family is even more prominent.

Du Kang saw that all the people present were his own family, so he said bluntly: "Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Zhou and the Cheng family, I wouldn't have leaked it at will." At the beginning, the contemptible man also came out of the civilian position in the army, and he was a small soldier under the command of Mr. Cheng, but the identity of someone in the family was sensitively implicated, so he had to go away, and after coming to Myanmar, he was taken care of by the Cheng family. It can be said that without the Cheng family, there would be no Du family today. ”

This is a heart-to-heart statement.

Zhou You smiled slightly, feeling that Du Kang's words were a bit of a self-elevation.

Although the Du family is the overlord who dominates a county, the problem is that he is just a figure in a backward small county, and compared with a behemoth like the Cheng family, it is not at the same level at all. You must know that Old Man Cheng is the founder of the People's Republic of China, the helmsman of the Cheng family, even if he comes to Myanmar, he will be welcomed with the highest standard, and Cheng Bo, who is currently the head of the first army, has a status that is more respected than the generals of Myanmar, where is comparable to a mere Du family.

To put it simply, the Du family is completely incomparable with the Cheng family, but the Du family insists on comparing their own family with the Cheng family, which is indeed raising their own value.

However, Zhou You didn't care so much, looked at the sky, and asked, "Master Du, you have also drunk a lot, why don't you save more for the evening." ”

"That's right, let's stay until the evening!"

Du Kang saw that Zhou You was violently flooded by so many people in turn, and now not only did he not blush at all, but he could also talk and laugh about life, which made him secretly afraid.
