Chapter 443 - Hpakant Mining Area
At noon the next day, Li Qingyun was invited to see Wang Chao, in this matter, Wang Chao's adventurous character was undoubtedly exposed, he did not tell anyone in the Qin family, and naturally did not let his cousin Qin Mingyue know.
The ranking of the food festival came out, Qingyu Farm ranked first for the supply of ingredients, with a prize of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus a micro farm next to a vineyard in France, about 12 acres, a qiΔ formalities are complete, and when receiving, you only need to sign a receiving contract.
Li Qingyun has little interest in this for the time being, the domestic form is very complicated, and he can't leave for the time being. This trip to Myanmar was also a last resort, as long as he could get enough jade or jade, he didn't want to risk too much.
Arrived at a teahouse in Central, when Li Qingyun entered, there were only Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing inside, and they were all old acquaintances. However, during the conversation, Wu Zhongxing peeked at his watch from time to time, as if he was waiting for some important person.
Wang Chao didn't want to hide anything, and explained to Li Qingyun: "We are waiting for Ouyang Zhao, he is a regular customer of the smuggling route of the northern line of Hpakant, and Brother Wu has a good relationship with him, and he has worked together before. When they participated in the informal public market last year, the two met by luck and talked about the smuggling business, and they hit it off. He needs money, and we need connections and routes. This time I have 600 million funds in my hand, and Wu Zhongxing is ready to take 200 million, how much can you come up with?"
Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said: "At present, there are about 160 million on the account, and after two years of hard work, there are only so many assets. Leave some urgent money, at least 150 million can be taken out. β
"Okay, then we already have 950 million here, and this operation will definitely make a lot of money. Wang Chao laughed, and the phone suddenly rang. After answering, he stood up and said, "Master Ouyang has arrived downstairs, let's go and greet you." β
When Wu Zhongxing stood up, he explained with a smile: "Ouyang Zhao and I are both stone masters, and we have a lot of gambling. But then I learned some carving and opened a shop. And he has always been keen on gambling stones, and he is in his fifties this year, and his gambling addiction is still not small. At his peak, he was worth more than one billion, and I heard that he has lost a lot of gambling in the past two years, and he currently has a net worth of hundreds of millions, which should not be underestimated. β
Li Qingyun never meant to despise anyone, but when he saw Ouyang Zhao. This old man in his fifties was very arrogant, with a goat's beard, thin and black skin, wearing a Tang shirt, but he just smiled at Wu Zhongxing and said a few kind words, even Wang Chao didn't pay much attention to it, let alone Li Qingyun.
After a few polite words. Ouyang Zhao began to speak unpolitely: "I only agreed to take you once for the sake of Brother Wu's affection." Let's start with that. I will contribute 100 million this time, and you will contribute at least 900 million, I will get 30% of the profits, and you will share the remaining 70%, I don't care how you share, my 30% profits must not be less. β
Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing seem to have been prepared for a long time. Knowing that Ouyang Zhao Lion opened his mouth, he was not too surprised. Li Qingyun frowned, feeling that his contribution was too small, and the income share was estimated to be lower. At this time, a text message came to his mobile phone. When I clicked on it, it was actually a message from the bank, saying that his account had received a cash transfer of 100 million, and the current deposit balance had reached more than 260 million.
After the transfer information, there is also a transfer message: "As you wish, peace is precious, and it is better to settle the dispute, I wish you peace and happiness, Zhao." β
Even if Li Qingyun usually doesn't fancy money very much, and when he saw the sudden increase in assets of 100 million, he still couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is simply a windfall, and winning the lottery is not so stimulating. He offered 100 million yuan, but he deliberately wanted to provoke the Zhao family father and son, so that he deliberately cleaned them up. Who would have thought that the other party was really stupid and naΓ―ve, and he didn't have a phone call, so he transferred money directly.
Ouyang glanced at Li Qingyun and said in an unkind tone: "In the future, when I speak, you are not allowed to make or receive phone calls, nor are you allowed to send and receive text messages." It's not that I don't trust everyone, it's that at the critical moment, we have to follow the key rules. Okay, each of you can tell me how much you can contribute to this operation. β
Wang Chao looked at Li Qingyun apologetically, and was the first to reply: "Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to Mr. Ouyang in the future." I am the initiator, I invested 600 million, Brother Wu invested 200 million, and Brother Li invested ......"
"Excuse me, just interrupt, I just got a sum of money, and I can also contribute 200 million. Li Qingyun interjected with a calm face, to the old man Ouyang, Li Qingyun was not interested in sticking to his cold ass, what is the love, when he arrives in Myanmar, he may not know who will rely on whom.
Wu Zhongxing's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Li Qingyun to earn a net worth of 200 million yuan so quickly, and he dared to use it all to invest in the business of smuggling jadeite. But it was clear in advance, this is smuggling, the risk is extremely high, if something happens, not only the funds and jadeite will be confiscated by the military, but even may lose your life.
Wang Chao was stunned, but he still continued: "Okay, I will contribute 600 million, Wu Zhongxing and Li Qingyun will each contribute 200 million, a total of 1 billion accounts for 70 percent, I am 40 percent, Wu Zhongxing and Li Qingyun each account for 1 percent of 5, and Mr. Ouyang Zhao accounts for 30 percent." If you have no opinion, we will draft an agreement, and everyone will sign and put their fingerprints on it, so as not to regret it. β
Hearing Wang Chao's arrangement, Ouyang Zhao was also extremely satisfied, he was able to share 30% of the profits with 100 million funds, relying on his brain and familiarity with smuggling routes. As soon as he thought of this huge amount of money, his mind was hot, as long as this business was successful, he could rely on this profit dividend to restore his former luxurious life.
Li Qingyun didn't speak, listening to them lay out the action plan. That night, the four of them flew to Myanmar, first to Yangon, to participate in the official jade fair. After the public market starts, I will go to Hpakant to contact the jadeite smuggling business.
It is obvious that participating in the official public market in Yangon is just a pretense, and the funds of several people have already been remitted in Wang Chao's account, and they will not use the funds to participate in the bidding of the official public market.
This time, the jadeite public market is several times larger than the last informal public market, and it is still in the open-air courtyard, but there are more jadeite rough stones on the table, and the price of the standard plate is lower.
After the beginning, the four of them pretended to wander around the large courtyard, and like other jewelers, they were very busy touching this piece and looking at that piece. Except for Li Qingyun who deliberately memorized a few jadeite rough stones of excellent quality and high cost performance, the three of them were all pretending, and they didn't have the heart to spend energy here.
Li Qingyun still has more than 60 million free funds in his account, which is enough for him to pick up leaks. Ouyang Zhao walked around, found a place with few people, and contacted the jade rough merchants in Hpakant, while Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing called their people, drove three large trucks, and entered Myanmar from Yunnan Ruili in the name of purchasing timber, and stopped near Hpakant, ready to stand by at any time.
Li Qingyun already knew the reason why he was invited, because Wang Chao felt that he was lucky and had a good vision, the last time he gambled on stones, it was precisely because of Li Qingyun's mention that he did not lose money, but made a lot of money, and he was praised by his grandfather.
Li Qingyun found that his current identity is a mascot, and there is no other use at all, and it seems that half of the dividends are still given by others. It's just a little bit of money and a run, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
So two days before the start of the public market, he put all his energy into the dark bid, and invested dozens of hidden bids at once, with a total capital of more than 100 million yuan. If he wins half of the bids, there is a risk that there will not be enough money in the account.
Before coming to Myanmar from Xiangjiang, he told SΓΉ Michelle the truth and said that he was going to gamble on stones. Michelle was afraid that he would not have enough funds, and said that she had saved a lot of money over the years, all of which were patent fees for the transformation of research results, as well as commissions for completing tasks.
He thought about it, the money was really not enough, so he asked Chu Yingtai to borrow it, and with the hundred-year-old elixir as collateral, it was not a problem to borrow hundreds of millions. Therefore, after casting so many secret bids, he is not afraid that the Myanmar military will say that he has defaulted.
On the third day, everything seemed to have been negotiated, and early in the morning, several people rushed to Hpakant by car. Entering the northern mountains, the sky starts to rain, the humidity here is very heavy, take a breath and feel the lungs are full of water. The dense forest is full of strange bugs and leeches, and even if you are sitting in the car, there will be unknown bugs that will recklessly crash in through the cracks in the windows.
When you are about to arrive in Hpakant, you will pass through several jade mining areas, all of which are heavily guarded, and if ordinary vehicles drive too slowly, soldiers will rush over to investigate.
Ouyang Zhao tugged at the goat's whiskers, looked at the entrance of the mining area with envy, and sighed: "I am still not qualified to enter the mining area, their guards are too strict. Last year, government forces and independence forces exchanged fire here, many mining areas changed owners, and people who were still connected with each other have now lost contact. Fortunately, this time our trading partner, his uncle is a high-ranking officer of the government army, the background relationship is extremely good, the jade rough in his hand is of high quality, but it is a shady thing, so the price is a third or even half cheaper than the low price of the public market. β
The car was rented, and after entering the mountain road in the mining area, Wang Chao drove cautiously, but the road condition was so bad that the muddy water flowing down from the top of the mountain almost flooded the mountain road.
According to Ouyang Zhao's prompt, the car turned into a narrower path, the road was full of weeds and shrubs, and it was not until a dense primeval forest came out in front of him that the car had to stop.
Someone at the edge of the forest asked loudly about something, and if you listened carefully, you could hear from the torrential rain that these extremely non-standard English was mixed with Burmese. Li Qingyun saw clearly that in the dark forest, there were actually more than a dozen Burmese soldiers with guns, and the clothes on their bodies were perfectly integrated with the forest, and with his ability, it was difficult to find them from such a distance.
Ouyang Zhao hurriedly explained his identity and the reason for coming here, and heard that Ouyang Zhao knew Kungang and that Kungang asked them to come, so he waved his hand and let them enter the forest one by one to be checked.
Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing's faces were not very good-looking, because before Ouyang Zhao came, he didn't say that he wanted to make a deal with the Burmese soldiers. Such a big thing, Ouyang Zhao actually deliberately concealed it, which is not a good phenomenon.
Li Qingyun's heart was beating wildly, so far away, he actually felt strong aura fluctuations, and the small space node on his left hand was beating wildly, like a lone wolf who had been hungry for many years smelling the smell of a fat little sheep. (To be continued......)
