Chapter 941: The First Day of the Fair
Knowing that Shi Lei was going on a business trip on the fifth day of the new year, Sun Yiyi and his mother also said that they would return to Wudong on the fifth day of the new year. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After breakfast and lunch, Shi Lei returned to Wudong with Sun Yiyi and his grandmother.
After sending them home, Shi Lei went straight to the airport and met Qu Xingye.
They took a plane to Qiannan Banna, which only takes two or three hours to drive from Banna to Xiaomengla in Myanmar.
When the plane arrived in Banna, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Qu Xingye had already contacted the Myanmar side, and there was an off-road vehicle waiting for them at the airport.
After getting into the car, Qu Xingye introduced to Shi Lei: "At the rough stone fair, the total value of the rough stone is over 100 million, so the guests with more than 5 million funds will be responsible for picking up and dropping off over there." In about three hours, we can arrive at the fair is located in the small Mengla, the hotel is also the seller of the fair unified arrangement, but there are no hard rules, just look at the buy is also OK. The trade will start at 10 a.m. tomorrow and will not end until dark. ”
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Qu is betting on more than one million stones, and more than 100 million rough stones, it seems that the number is not too much." ”
Qu Xingye waved his hand and said, "Shi Shao, you don't know, what I bet on is a semi-finished product, and I have opened a window on the skin, and I can see a lot of content inside." Therefore, the price is relatively high. And not all of them are more than millions, most of them are actually in the hundreds of thousands. And the larger ones are those that have not opened the windows at all, the large ones are hundreds of thousands, and the small ones range from thousands to tens of thousands, not as Shi Shao imagined, all of them are stones worth more than one million. Therefore, the total number of rough stones is still quite considerable, not to mention thousands of pieces. ”
Shi Lei nodded, although he made up some knowledge about the Jade Gambling Stone before leaving, but he still didn't know anything about the specific situation.
"I really don't know much about these, and I still need more help from Mr. Qu. ”
Qu Xingye immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I only know some superficial rules, and I used to think that my vision was enough, but now, I really don't dare to say that I can help Shi Shao." If you want me to help, I suggest that Shi Shao take a look, or buy a few stones below 100,000 yuan, just play with them, those that have opened the window, high-priced rough stones, Shi Shao is better not to touch. This thing, ten stones and nine empty, looks green, and if you drive it in, it will be a layer of green skin. Hundreds of thousands of stones bought and only worth tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars abound. If it's really in very good condition, how can they leave it to us if they don't make a good fuss in the mine themselves?"
Shi Lei smiled, leaned slightly to Qu Xingye, and said, "Since Mr. Qu knows that it is difficult for the rough stones at these trade fairs to rise sharply, why do you want to gamble?"
Qu Xingye smiled bitterly: "Do I have a way out now? All the belongings are only 10 million, and I am used to the kind of life before, I am afraid that this 10 million will not be able to support even three years, and I can only gamble on luck, after all, there is still a chance." At my part, no matter how slim the chance, I have to give it a go, and I always hope to return to the factory, which can be regarded as an explanation for my wife and children. ”
Shi Lei looked at Qu Xingye's bitter face, and he already keenly felt that if Qu Xingye still lost all his money this time, he would be left alone when he didn't make a good return.
Judging from the information queried on the Internet, at the gambling stone fair in Myanmar, people from different parts of the world disappear inexplicably every year.
Shi Lei also thought about whether the gambling had risen sharply, and the people who could control the gambling stone fair here were all privately armed, and they would detain people and prevent him from taking the jade away. But listening to Qu Xingye's introduction along the way, this kind of thing rarely happens, at least he has been here more than ten times, and he has really never heard of such a thing.
So it seems that those missing people are all because of gambling to the point of bankruptcy, and finally have no shame to return home, so they cut themselves off here.
In the exchange between the first day of the first year and today, Shi Lei also found that Qu Xingye is not the kind of person who does not repent, but now he has a great burden in his heart, and he always wants to restore the previous situation, so he wants to fight to the death with this last million.
Chatting all the way, the car has come to the border between China and Myanmar, the driver asked the two for passports, said a few words to the soldiers on the border, stuffed some cash, and waved his hand to release the vehicle.
After another hour of driving, the SUV stopped under a seven- or eight-story building, and the driver told the two in jerky Chinese that the hotel had arrived.
The hotel is probably only at the level of a three-star in China, and the cleaning is not too clean, but in this kind of place, Shi Lei has nothing to pay attention to.
At the beginning, a standard room was arranged for the two, but Qu Xingye knew that Shi Lei was definitely not used to living in the same room with him, so he discussed it with the other party, and Shi Lei vaguely heard Qu Xingye say that the two of them would buy at least more than 10 million stones at this fair, and the other party finally adjusted the two to two rooms.
After Qu Xingye got the room card, he returned to Shi Lei and said, "Shi Shao, we have one room for the two of us, and I live next door to you." It's not early, hurry up and rinse up and go to bed early, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will wake you up, let's have breakfast together. After eating, there will be a car to take us to the trade fair. ”
Shi Lei didn't say much, nodded and went upstairs into the room.
In the room, there was a smell of wet mold, but this was not the time to pay attention to it, Shi Lei rinsed it casually and lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep completely until it was almost dawn, and he finally fell asleep.
didn't sleep for a long time, when he heard the doorbell ringing, Shi Lei got up sleepily and opened the door for Qu Xingye, rinsed it again, and followed Qu Xingye to breakfast.
The breakfast was a little unexpected, and it was almost exactly the same as the domestic one, soy milk fritters porridge and baked cakes, and it was really the same as the domestic taste.
Qu Xingye told Shi Lei that this was also specially arranged by the organizers, and the breakfast arrangements for guests from different countries were also different.
"The trade fair is just one day?" Shi Lei asked while drinking soy milk.
Qu Xingye shook his head and said, "It's three days in total, but it's often more than that, because as long as the rough stone is not sold, basically the trade will continue." These people live by mining rough stones, and every piece of rough stone is cash in their eyes. ”
Shi Lei nodded, and after eating, the two got into a minibus, and after staggering for more than 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the scene.
In the car, Qu Xingye told Shi Lei that the scene of the trade fair was protected by private armed forces, and there were many locals standing at the door and even inside with AK47 on their shoulders, but there was no need to be afraid, because such gambling stone fairs often caused disputes, and those people were just to maintain order and prevent disputes, and at the same time to protect those guests who made money after gambling or wanted to take the jade away directly.
Shi Lei expressed his understanding, but when he got out of the car, he was still a little surprised, because there were really a lot of people carrying guns.
Even Qu Xingye was a little surprised, he frowned, and asked a local who had obviously known him for a long time, why there were so many people in charge of the security of the trade fair this time.
The man smiled and explained to Qu Xingye and Shi Lei in jerky Chinese: "At this fair, all the rough stones come from an old pit, and the total value of the rough stones is more than 500 million, so we need to ensure extra safety." ”
