Early in the morning, Badasang drove a big Hummer to pick up Huo Sining and his party to the public venue, the Sidona Hotel is not in the city, so yesterday the business car passed all the way to the edge of Yangon city, only to see a large piece of Shwedagon Pagoda. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hothining didn't get such a close look at Yangon's exotic scenery as he does today.

Yangon looks like a huge park, with little vegetation on the edges, but in the center of the city it is almost everywhere with plants, flowers and stupas, and many monks in red robes with bare left shoulders walk barefoot on the streets, meeting people on the way, and occasionally folding together to greet the people on the street.

The buildings in Yangon also bear obvious traces of colonization.

The dark red roofs are typical of British architecture, the Hindu temples are inlaid with statues of various gods, and the top of the towers is covered with thick moss, and there are churches, stupas, and pigeons playing everywhere in the sky.

What surprised Huo Sining even more was that there were many open-air bathhouses on both sides of the road in Myanmar, and only a wall was built to separate them from the street, and a group of women carried wooden barrels stood in those bathrooms to bathe.

Huo Sining sat in the car and could clearly see the snow-white **** and plump shoulders emerging from the wall.

Seeing such a scene, Huo Sining was a little uncomfortable, and the others were also a little embarrassed, Su Qingqing's face was surprised, and her eyes looked at it without blinking, as if she could see a flower in this way.

Badasan seemed to be no stranger to such a situation, and his face was calm.

But think about it, they grew up in this area, and they will only take it for granted for such customs.

Although Myanmar borders the country of China, the euro is easier to use than the renminbi here, and the exchange price is higher.

Because of Myanmar's special national conditions, the Myanmar government has very strict control over Yangon's public market, unlike the domestic Emerald Public Market, as long as you can apply for an admission pass, you can enter.

According to the regulations of the Myanmar Organizing Committee, those who want to participate in the Yangon public exhibition must have an invitation letter, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the venue.

There are generally three types of invitations, one is the guests invited by the Myanmar governments at all levels, the second is the people invited by the Myanmar jewelry associations at all levels, and the third is the invitation letter issued by the Myanmar jewelry trading company.

In Myanmar, the so-called jewelry trading companies are also actually owned by the Myanmar government.

The latter two ways of invitation, must be submitted by the inviting party to the organizing committee in the form of a guarantee for review and approval, and businessmen who want to participate in the bidding for jadeite wool can only enter the venue by virtue of the invitation letter in their hands.

Of course, if there is no invitation letter, it is not completely impossible to enter the public market, but these people need to find a Myanmar jewelry company to guarantee and pay 10 million kyats as a deposit.

10 million kyats is equivalent to 1 million yuan, and these deposits will be returned to the mortgagor after the end of the public market, but ordinary people can rarely get 1 million, so generally speaking, the people who can enter the Myanmar public market are definitely not ordinary people at the bottom.

Each invitation letter issued by Myanmar can only bring a maximum of two additional people into the venue, but Huo Sining and they don't need to worry about this problem, because they are officially invited by the Myanmar government, and they are led by General Badasang, so they can enter the venue directly without an invitation, and there is no limit to the number of people.

The earliest time for Myanmar to hold a jade fair dates back to 50 years ago, when the military had just taken over the Burmese regime, in order to plug the loss of tax revenue, use the scarce jade and jade wool resources to create more foreign exchange income for the Myanmar government, the Myanmar government held the first jade and jade wool fair in Yangon.

After tasting the sweetness of the first public offer, the Myanmar government understood the importance of jadeite wool to their economic development, so they stepped up efforts to control the export of wool, especially in the smuggling of wool.

Myanmar's jadeite public market has developed to this day and has almost become Myanmar's largest source of foreign exchange earnings.

To this end, the Myanmar government has even set up a new law for jadeite public properties - the "Jewelry Law": all jadeite and jade wool mined from the mining area must be collected in Yangon for classification, grading, numbering, and reserve price, and then can be sent to various places for sale.

Of course, there are still loopholes in these laws, especially since the Burmese government does not have much prestige over the five major families, and many domestic smugglers can basically buy rough stones through special channels.

The Burmese government basically turns a blind eye to such things, because these things involve the interests of the five major families, and they can't manage them if they want to.

Myanmar's jade public plate and Pingzhou public plate are also divided into open and hidden bids, but there is one difference between Pingzhou public market, that is, the hidden bid of Pingzhou public plate is put together for unified bidding, and finally the computer counts the highest bid price.

Myanmar's hidden bid is different, a bid has a bid box corresponding, and the bidder only needs to put the bid into the corresponding bid box, so that the statistics are much simpler and more convenient.

In order to facilitate the gamblers who came to participate in the public market, the Myanmar government has set up a special transportation channel for these gamblers after the unveiling of the bid, and only need to pay off the procedures, and the organizing committee can handle customs clearance, transportation procedures and certificates of processing and sales for customers free of charge, all the procedures are readily available, and there is no need for buyers to worry about the safety of wool.

Of course, if the winning gambler evades the bid and owes money, the punishment is also quite severe, the organizing committee will give an indefinite Burmese nationality or a century-old foreigner to cancel his qualification to participate in the public market, and foreign businessmen will also be restricted from entering the country for five years.

This seemingly painless punishment may not be much of a deterrent to ordinary people, but it is fatal to those wool merchants who rely on the jade public market to make money by gambling on stones.

If they do not have the qualifications to enter the public market to participate in the gambling stone, they will not be able to get the jadeite rough stone, and they can only sit and wait for death.

The car soon drove to the venue of the jade fair in Myanmar: the Myanmar National Jade and Jewelry Trading Center.

As soon as Huo Sining and the others got out of the car, they saw a row of soldiers with loaded guns at the entrance of the public market, and several armored vehicles were parked at the entrance of the trading center.

Around the perimeter of the steel wall, groups of soldiers are patrolling, as if to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall and entering the public market.

Looking at this posture, Huo Sining couldn't help but have an illusion, she felt that she didn't seem to be here to gamble on stones, but more like she came to the barracks to train in heavy places. (To be continued.) )
