Chapter 185 The Brinston Exchange
Amid the cheers of the residents of Westwind and the glaring eyes of the residents of Parrot Valley. This is the end of the competition.
It's a fart, no one defends Yang Meng and Xiao Peng at all, Xiao Peng is responsible for grabbing the ball and throwing it to the front court, Yang Meng receives the ball and shoots directly, and it ends directly after the first half.
No one has masochistic tendencies, right? If you continue to play, the score can be on the Guinness Book of World Records!
There's a crazy celebration in town, a country band playing music, people dancing, drinking, and partying! That has to be celebrated!
Yang Meng had already gone crazy with them, and Xiao Peng sat on the side to watch them have fun. Maxim walked over with two cups of home-brewed beer and handed Xiao Peng a glass: "Xiao, I really can't see it, you are so powerful, are you a professional player?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "What kind of eyes do you have, we are not professional players, today is the first time I play this Australian rugby, it is quite an interesting sport." β
Maxim pouted when he heard this, abusing his opponent like this, any sport is fun, okay? He controlled his emotions and said to Xiao Peng: "You really should go to a professional team! You and Yang will definitely become the best Australian rugby players." You've got the strength to throw a world record. β
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Uh, what's the point of a group of big men bumping around?
Maxim hurriedly said: "Being a professional player is very respectable in Australia, the income is still very high, and there are countless beautiful women to pursueγγγγγγ β
"I'm really not short of that money. Xiao Peng shrugged. "What do I have the time to do and not make more money than being a player?"
Maxim then remembered, okay, Xiao Peng doesn't seem to be bad for that money, Maxim has been sighing on the side: "What a talent, it's just a wasteγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng hurriedly asked: "Yes, Lao Ma, where can we sell the black opal we dig here?" During this time, they have been mining behind closed doors, and found that there is no trading center here. This has become a joke that Black Opal can't sell.
Maxim was stunned when he heard this: "You guys dug up Black Opal again?"
Since handing over the hot pot to James and Steve, the two have never been to the mines, but have vigorously promoted the hot pot throughout the town. Maxim knew that Xiao Peng had dug up a few pieces of black opal, but he didn't know how many black opals Xiao Peng had dug up in the past few days.
Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, I dug some, I don't know where to sell it." β
There are a total of half of the mining area, Xiao Peng has almost hollowed out all the opals in them these days, and now their RVs are full of black opals! This is only 1/3, and the remaining 2/3 are in their rings.
And the reason for this, on the one hand, is not too surprising that there are too many quantities, really to pile all the opals together, tell anyone that this is dug up in half a month, that person will go crazy, and on the other hand, the reason is that the black opals need to be carefully preserved, which contains water, and the hardness is not enough, so when preserving opals, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent bumps, and to prevent the loss of water. So the best black Opal let Xiao Peng put it in the ring. But just like that, it's also stuffed with an RV. Now Xiao Peng and the two have nowhere to sleep, and the rear compartment is already stuffed with black opal.
Maxim didn't think that Xiao Peng had dug up how much black Opal, after all, they had also dug in that abandoned mining area and knew the situation there, but Maxim still received Xiao Peng's question: "Because the black Opal in Lightning Ridge does not produce much, every time I participate in Opal to trade at the trading center in Brinston Town." On the first day of every month, there is a large trading center. β
"Why do you want to go there?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
"It's a place where buyers from various companies come together, such as Vaitcliffor, Coober Pedy, Yowah, Koroit, Toompine, Quilpie, Kyabra-Eromanga, Bulgroo, Yaraka, Jundah, Opalton-Mayneside, Kynuna, etc. In particular, the first day of each month is a big trading day. Even well-known luxury companies will be represented. β
"It sounds like a big scale, but why is the first day of every month a big trading day? There should be a large supply of so many Opal mines, right?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled.
Maxim looked proud: "Our Lightning Ridge's output is small, but only our Black Opal here is the most valuable, so they are all waiting for our Black Opal to come out." β
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "This forced pretending to give you 82 points, and the remaining 18 points will be sent to you with 666." β
Maxim said: "This is the case, there are dozens of mining areas in the small area of Lightning Ridge, and almost half of the mining areas belong to those luxury manufacturers, but even so, it cannot meet the market demand. The Black Opal of Lightning Ridge is sold as much as it wants, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to dig. It's such a small area, but there are so many people digging. How's your yield there?"
Xiao Peng said modestly: "It's not bad, you can go to Brinston anyway." β
Maxim said: "Well, in this case, two days will be a big trading day, let's go and have a look." I heard you have a nice black opal there?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "That James, they said that one piece is not bad, and I don't know if the rest is good or not, when the time comes, let's go to Princeton, do you remember to help me palm the eye?"
Maxim smiled: "No problem. Leave it to me! Come on, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
γγγγγγ
On the morning of the first day, when Maxim came to Xiao Peng's RV, he found Xiao Peng and the two sleeping in the cab.
Maxim looked puzzled: "Why do you two sleep in the cab?"
Xiao Peng opened his eyes, looked at Maxim, and said a little embarrassed: "That, the two of us drank two glasses yesterday and slept directly here." β
Maxim didn't think much about it, but hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's go quickly, there is still a long way to go to Brinston." We need to hurry up and get out, or it'll be too late, and you guys will drive after me." After speaking, he drove directly and led the way, taking the first step.
Xiao Peng also wanted Maxim to help take a look at the color of the Opal he had dug up, but he didn't expect Maxim to be so quick-tempered, watching Maxim leave, he hurriedly asked Yang Meng to drive to follow.
After driving for nearly three hours, Xiao Peng finally arrived in Princeton. It's a big town with more than 10,000 people, which has something to do with its proximity to the sea. Location: in the middle of Brisbane and Sydney. It's finally a bit of a lively feeling when you get here.
Yang Meng complained while driving: ", Brother Peng, we have been in Australia for so long, and we have finally arrived at a place with more people." Brother, when people go to Australia, it's all sunny and beach bikinis, and we are digging holes and digging mouths to gnaw mud, which is a bit unlike, right?"
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Come on, people are here to spend money, we are here to make money." Okay, what you said makes sense, let's just leave. β
"What about the mining area?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng Yile: "What else should I do? Put it there, pay some land tax every year, and it will always be ours." What are you afraid of?"
Yang Meng was speechless: "That's all hollowed out, why do you keep it?"
"Who said it was hollowed out?" Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "There are still depths below forty meters, but it is difficult to mine, so I am too lazy to mine." Put that mine here as a piggy bank. Let's go, I've sold the ore today, so let's go somewhere else. β
"Where are you going?" Yang Meng's eyes widened.
Xiao Peng said: "Didn't you say something about a sunny beach bikini? Then let's go to Brisbane." Sunny Beach, Golden Beach, Great Barrier Reef. You're right, we can't be groundhogs all the time, it's time to enjoy it!"
Yang Meng said fiercely after hearing this.
On the other side of town, Xiao Peng said, "We're here." β
Yang Meng looked at Maxim still driving there, with no sign of stopping: "How do you know that we have arrived?"
Xiao Peng pointed to a factory warehouse-like building on the side of the road in the far left front and said: "Look at the parking lot, the entrance is full of mud pickup trucks, this look from the inland mining area, it is impossible for cars in other places to be so dirty." I don't believe we bet ten dollars. β
Yang Meng pouted: "I really don't bet with you." I'm going to lose a bet!"
The Australian outback, especially the mining area, is full of loess, and it is very simple to distinguish between the Australian outback and the coastal city people. And people along the coast, although they often go to places like beaches, pay great attention to sun protection. Similarly, the car is also, the car in the inland area is full of dust, just like Xiao Peng's RV, and the original color can no longer be seen at all.
Xiao Peng was right, Maxim had already parked the car in the parking lot, Xiao Peng and the two parked the car next to him, Maxim looked at his watch and frowned slightly: "We may be a little late." β
"Late?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
"Generally speaking, miners from all over the world will come here at nine o'clock, when it is the most crowded time, and the transaction price is the highest, and then many jewelers will choose to leave, but I didn't expect you two to sleep so well," Maxim said. And the car is so slowγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng was speechless, how many pieces can such a heavy RV run? If you play with your life, you will run one hundred and one! You give me two sports cars to try? Do you think I am running slowly? Xiao Peng shrugged: "Forget it, let's go in and have a look." β
Maxim nodded, originally he was here to be a guide, anyway, it would be good to take Xiao Peng and them in to have a look.
Several people got out of the car and just walked to the gate of the exchange, but they saw that the gate of the exchange was suddenly knocked open, and one person fell hard in front of the three people.
Looking down again, hey, it's none other than Buck from Parrot Valley, what is this doing?= Thrown out in broad daylight?
Xiao Peng scratched his head: "Buck, what's wrong with you? Knowing that we have a good relationship, you don't have to lie down to greet us, right?"
