Chapter 417: Rough Stone Smuggling

", haunted guy......"

I glanced up at the sky, but the lush branches and leaves above my head blocked Peng Bin's vision, and similarly, there was no helicopter in the sky with thermal imaging induction, and I didn't want to find Peng Bin and Fang Yi in the jungle, their behavior was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Squeak...... Squeaky ......"

It seemed that the little demon king who had slept in his backpack stretched out his head, and after shouting at Fang Yi twice, he cautiously crawled out, and saw that Fang Yi did not object, so he jumped on Fang Yi's shoulder excitedly.

"Don't run around, keep up with us......"

Angry with an animal is such a tasteless thing, Fang Yi naturally won't do it, this will have already forgiven the little guy in his heart, the little demon king is originally an elf in the mountains and forests, Fang Yi doesn't want to restrict its activities.

"Hmm, Ah Hu called...... Peng Bin, who had just eaten something, suddenly felt a vibration in his backpack, and took out his mobile phone to see that it was an unfamiliar number, and only after connecting did he know that it was Ah Hu calling.

"Someone is backwater, Fang Yi and I will take the road of Savage Mountain, you take someone in from outside to pick up the ......" Peng Bin didn't say much, after listening to Ah Hu say a few words, he explained some problems and hung up the phone.

"It was a Vietnamese man named Ah Gui who was against the water, and he was the only one who was shot and arrested when he broke through......"

Peng Bin didn't have too much anger on his face, these mercenaries were originally cannon fodder on the battlefield, and they didn't have much loyalty to the people who hired them at all, and there was also an army of orphans specially adopted in the Peng family, which was the real warrior of the Peng family.

"Why didn't Ah Hu call yesterday?" Fang Yi asked with some puzzlement, it stands to reason that Ah Hu should have made this call after breaking out of the encirclement, but now it has been a full thirty hours since last night.

"Ah Hu, they have been chased by the government army, and they only got rid of the army after entering the jungle......"

Peng Bin shook his head and said, "They have a telegraph, but they don't have a phone, this will be a call from a hidden rescue point of the Peng family who just came out of the jungle......

At this time, mobile phones were not yet fully widespread in China, let alone in poor Myanmar, where only ministerial-level figures in the government were equipped with mobile phones.

And even if there is a mobile phone, it is usually impossible to receive a signal in the mountains and forests, because there are few telecommunications base stations in Myanmar, and the phone in Peng Bin's hand is a satellite phone bought from abroad at a large cost, and in Peng's house, there are only three people who use such a phone, and Peng Bin is one of them.

"Brother Tiger is okay, right?"

Fang Yi asked with concern, he had been with Ah Hu for almost half a month, Fang Yi respected this for not saying much, but he was a very down-to-earth big brother, at least during the time they participated in the public market, they had not encountered anything.

"He's fine, but his men broke two ......"

As his right-hand man, Peng Bin still knows Ah Hu very well, although this kid's boxing skills are not as good as his own, but he has few opponents in the jungle war, if the government army dares to follow him into the jungle, then how many people are not enough to die.

"By the way, big brother, you can call Brother Kai, just say that we have arrived at Peng's house, so that he and the teacher don't have to worry......" Fang Yi thought of the teacher and Chen Kai who had left Myanmar, presumably they should be quite worried about themselves.

"Okay, I'll tell Akai ......" Peng Bin nodded, he understood what Fang Yi meant, if he told them the truth that he was being hunted down by government troops, the two who were on Hong Kong Island now didn't know what to do in a hurry.

After the phone was connected, Peng Bin chatted with Chen Kai first, and then gave the mobile phone to Fang Yi, on the phone, Fang Yi learned that the teacher went to Zheng's house as a guest, which couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he knew that the teacher was an old Jianghu, and he was really afraid that the teacher would hear something wrong when he was on the phone.

On the phone, Chen Kai told Fang Yi that the jade he sold to the Zheng family had undergone a second inspection, and Fang Yi could choose to charge 10 million US dollars, or he could choose to convert the 10 million into Hong Kong dollars or RMB, as long as Zheng Shaogong was given an account, the money would be in place within three days.

Fang Yi thought for a while, and finally decided to deposit five million US dollars in the bank on Hong Kong Island, and the other five million was converted into RMB and directly transferred to his bank account in the mainland, but Fang Yi did not open an account in the bank on Hong Kong Island, and it would take a certain amount of time to handle it.

As for Chen Kai's materials for Fang Yi, the price is about five million US dollars, but Chen Kai doesn't have much liquidity now, so he can only owe Fang Yi this money first, and only pay this amount after the jewelry store turns around.

"Brother, you made fifteen million dollars this time gambling on stones?"

After Fang Yi hung up the phone, Peng Bin on the side also heard it, and his face couldn't help showing a shocked expression, fifteen million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan, even for the Peng family, which has long been cut off from drug trading, it is also a large amount.

"Good luck, hehe, good luck...... Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, and at this time he also understood the meaning of a sentence he had heard after going down the mountain, that is, when there is more money, it is just a number in the bank.

So now Fang Yi doesn't have any intuitive understanding of the more than 100 million money at all, he doesn't even know how to spend this money, when talking to Chen Kai on the phone, Fang Yi's face didn't show the slightest excitement.

"I've also played with jadeite, why don't I have your luck?" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin couldn't help rolling his eyes, people living in Myanmar, there are few people who have not played with the rough stone, but the rough stone that Peng Bin gambled on was not bought from the public market.

According to the regulations of the Myanmar government, the jadeite mined in each pit needs to be sold on the public market, and the introduction of this regulation has largely restricted the autonomy and pricing rights of jadeite mine owners, so rough smuggling is also a very popular thing in Myanmar.

The whole of Southeast Asia can be counted as within the scope of the ancient tea horse road in the past, and in the earliest days, those caravans were salted tea.

But in modern times, most of the caravans were made up of drug traffickers, who specialized in trafficking drugs from the Golden Triangle through those forested and uninhabited areas, but now there is one more thing, and that is the smuggling of rough stones.

Domestic rough stone dealers, often ask a team of more than 10 people to buy rough stones from the raw stone producing areas and mines at a price lower than the jadeite market, and then transport them to the country through some uninhabited forests to sell, according to the statistics of the Myanmar government, the annual smuggling out of the rough stones, far more than the number of rough stones sold by the public.

Many people will feel very strange when they see this, those jadeite mine owners are not stupid, since the price of rough stones on the public market is high, why would they be willing to sell their rough stones to smugglers? Since they take the risk and do not make money, it is better to put it on the jade market and sell it.

This is not the case, although the price of rough sold in the mining area is lower, it is still higher than the public selling price minus taxes.

And the government will also charge a fee according to the amount of rough stones traded by each mine every year, like the mine owners, in general, the profit from selling the rough stone privately is more than double that of participating in the public auction to sell the rough stone, so those mine owners will basically only take out some cut high-quality jadeite to participate in the public market, and most of the rest are secretly sold.

The smuggling of rough stone businessmen also have a lot of profit margins, they buy the rough from the mining area, basically all of them are all all gambling materials without any cutting, the price is low without paying taxes, not to mention, the probability of opening high-quality jadeite is also very large, as long as it is shipped back to China, it can basically be sold several times.

The businessmen who smuggle the jadeite rough are most afraid of the warlords of Myanmar, because as long as they are encountered, there is basically only one end, that is, even the people with the rough stones are kidnapped, and then the ransom is demanded from the country.

Conscientious kidnappers, after receiving the ransom, will often put people back, and the professional ethics are poor, even if they receive the ransom, they will do things to tear up tickets, in recent years, almost every year there are bad rough stone dealers die in Myanmar.

Although the Peng family has a good reputation in Myanmar, the expenses for raising troops under his command are also very large, so Peng Bin has also made a cameo appearance as the king of the mountain and hijacked several teams that smuggled rough stones, but he is a conscientious kidnapper, and he will let people go every time he receives money.

People can put it, but the smuggled rough stones have to be deducted, so when he is bored, Peng Bin will also cut a few stones, but his luck is not very good, he has also cut hundreds of rough stones by his hands, and the best material ever produced is only the quality of ice seeds.
