Chapter 588 Fellow Countryman, Not Necessarily a Shot

"If it's too expensive, we can discuss it again, if it doesn't work, it's nine thousand, how about nine thousand?" Xiao Shi asked for 10,000 US dollars, which was also his own blind estimate, he felt that this thing was worth so much money, and he also felt that he had already discounted it, but when Mao Shifa said this at this time, his heart suddenly had no bottom, for fear that Zhang Tianyuan would be unhappy in his heart, so he hurriedly lowered it to another thousand.

Mao Shifa wanted to say something, but he was not stopped by Zhang Tianyuan, in fact, the price is already very low, he is not short of this money, and he is not going to pick up the leak when he first debuted, now don't say that this thing can be bought for only 9,000 dollars, even if it costs 90,000 US dollars, he must buy it, and he usually gives out more money than this for charity.

"Nine thousand is not bad......

Zhang Tianyuan didn't let Mao Shifa speak again, but carefully observed the ivory mat, and then asked, "Xiao Shi, if I ask you something, you have to answer honestly." ”

"Just ask. ”

"You don't have a formal invoice for this thing, can I take it out? Nine thousand dollars is not a small amount, if I can't bring it back to China, isn't that equivalent to throwing the money away?" Zhang Tianyuan remembered what Xiao Shi said before, so he was not particularly sure in his heart, after all, this was the first time he went abroad, and he had never bought something from abroad and returned home, some things still had to be asked clearly, otherwise, once something happened, even if it was just a loss of nine thousand dollars, it would be distressing, doing charity is not the same as doing good deeds, at least it is voluntary, and throwing money out like this, he can't accept it.

"Yes, Xiaoshi, you have to tell your conscience about this. We can't cheat Boss. Mao Shifa also told Xiao Shidao, after all, Mao Shifa knew it in his heart. In the past few years, when I went abroad, I was the worst to pit the Chinese. Instead, it was the Chinese.

Xiao Shi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, who will check a mat?" Besides, if you are really worried, it is simple, I have an acquaintance here, and I will issue an invoice for you, and it will be written as a handicraft, even if you really have to check, there will be no problem." If there is a problem in the end, Brother Mao knows me. Even if you know where my house is, you can rest assured. ”

After speaking, Xiao Shi ran to the nearby big store, only those regular stores, can issue formal invoices with legal significance, Xiao Shi has been setting up a stall here for so many years, and it is certain that he knows a few acquaintances. As for this stall, there is a hair and stones, and he is not afraid that someone will steal it. He and Mao Shifa are not ordinary friends, and the two families are still moving around a lot like relatives.

In fact, Zhang Tianyuan was not worried that Xiao Shi would deceive him, this person would often go to Xifeng to buy goods, if he really deceived him. Besides, Xiaoshi is a very experienced businessman and wants to make a lot of money. I won't play with Zhang Tianyuan for 9,000 US dollars, like that. In the end, it can only be him Xiaoshi who suffers, not Zhang Tianyuan himself.

"Boss Zhang. I wondered, isn't this just a broken mat? Even if it's woven of ivory, then it can be bought for a few hundred dollars, nine thousand dollars? That's tens of thousands of RMB, you are really a lot of money, you are willing to spend money, I will definitely not be able to change it. ”

Mao Shifa actually didn't understand why Zhang Tianyuan liked this mat that didn't look very good, if it was an ivory carving, he could still understand it, when it was a decoration, it was also very good, but this mat had no aesthetic value, and he spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a mat, he felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of these young people now.

It is precisely because he is familiar with Xiao Shi that he also knows that Xiao Shi has done those things, but he has used fake things to deceive people before, and more than once, he does not dare to guarantee that Xiao Shi will see the intention of making money, and use fake things to trap Zhang Tianyuan, if this is the case, then he will be guilty of too much, a broken mat costs 60,000 yuan, if this is spread out, he will lose face with Mao Shifa.

Many people who travel abroad or work part-time are often trapped, and most of them are fellow villagers or their own people, especially businessmen, who like money, and in the face of interests, they can become fierce beasts.

Whether Marxism is right or not, Mao Shifa did not dare to comment on it without authorization, but he always felt that Marx had a good saying: "If capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, and even risk being hanged." ”

"After all, this thing is ivory weaving, you may not understand it, ivory weaving products are very valuable in China, the key is easy to use, this thing is more than bamboo mats, straw mats are two pieces, Emperor Yongzheng used it back then, I just treat it as enjoyment, with money is to enjoy, do you learn from others without pulling out a dime?

Zhang Tianyuan didn't tell Mao Shifa the truth, after all, he is not very familiar with Mao Shifa, if the matter is explained too clearly, it is difficult to guarantee that Mao Shifa will not see the intention of making money, besides, the wall has ears, there are many vendors and passers-by in this vicinity, in case you hear that this thing is worth hundreds of millions, it will inevitably encounter some unexpected troubles, even if you are not afraid, but it is also troublesome, especially in Myanmar, you are not familiar with the situation, you may be robbed and killed halfway without knowing who did it.

"Convinced, Boss Zhang, you really have a lot of money, 9,000 US dollars said to throw it away, I can't, I worked hard to earn so much money, after buying a house and a car, now I am directly destitute again. ”

Saying this, Mao Shifa was a little jealous in his heart, this is a rich man, different from making so much money by himself, he still remembers that when he saw Zhang Tianyuan on Treasure Island, Zhang Tianyuan was not very rich, and he inquired, Zhang Tianyuan had just started doing business at that time, and he was similar to him, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a few months, Zhang Tianyuan had become so arrogant, this is really more popular than people.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Shi had already finished his work and ran back, and when he came over this time, he was holding a long cloth bag in his hand, which was specially used to hold a mat, so the length and size were the same. It can also be carried directly over the shoulder, although such a package is certainly not very good. But the main thing is that it's convenient, and it's actually safe. It's rare for someone to rob a mattress, do they?

Nowadays, many people like to put money directly into snakeskin bags when they go out, in fact, it is also to hide people's eyes, if it is packed in too good bags, it will be targeted by thieves.

Of course, this cloth bag was bought by Xiao Shi at his own expense, and he didn't have it in his stall, so he went to the big store and bought it, so it would be more convenient.

Zhang Tianyuan and Xiao Shi carefully packed the mat into the cloth bag. In order to avoid the mat being damaged, a layer of sea surface mat was specially wrapped outside, which was very well protected, and this ivory woven mat was very tough, which was completely different from the ordinary ivory carving, and now it is so properly protected, it is not a problem at all.

"Boss Zhang, you can take this thing, this is an invoice. You must also have it installed, in case the customs want to check, give them the invoice and it will be fine. Xiao Shi took the money from the snake lin's hand and counted it. I happily put it away, and even though I sold it, I made nine thousand dollars. That's a lot of money in Myanmar. Even if he doesn't do business for a year or two, that's fine. Of course, the invoice was also given to Serpentine.

Serpentine knew the Burmese language, so after reading the Burmese text above and confirming that there was no problem, he took the cloth bag from Zhang Tianyuan's hand and said, "Brother Zhang, I'll take the things, this invoice is no problem, see if there are any other places to shop?"

"Okay, what else are you going to visit, let's go back to Naypyidaw, I've seen the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, and there's no point in staying here." Brother Mao, do you want to go back together?" Zhang Tianyuan is now bent on figuring out what the Japanese words on this mat mean, where do you have any thoughts to visit Yangon, it just so happens that it is still early today, fly back to rest for a night, tomorrow is the Jade Gongpan, if he can take advantage of the meaning of these Japanese words tonight, then he will probably be able to sleep well.

Mao Shifa shrugged his shoulders and said: "I was originally going to accompany Boss Zhang to go shopping, since you are going back, I have nothing to do in Yangon, let's go back together, anyway, our ticket is a round-trip, let's go to the airport now." ”

……

The luck of the three people is still good, the weather in Myanmar has been very good recently, so the plane has almost no delay, and there is half an hour of waiting at the airport, and the three of them took the plane back to Naypyidaw, Mao Shifa felt that this trip was a little boring, but Zhang Tianyuan was satisfied, after arriving at the hotel, Mao Shifa went to his room to rest, anyway, he was not interested in the mat, and Zhang Tianyuan and Shelin returned to their room.

This process is simple to say, but it is also extremely dangerous, Zhang Tianyuan just showed up at the door of the hotel, and was directly targeted, of course, not robbed, but jewelry merchants from all over the world, as well as jade masters, there are not only familiar faces, but also some fresh faces have seen Zhang Tianyuan on TV and the Internet, this time to the jade market, it is simply for Zhang Tianyuan, they all know Zhang Tianyuan's appearance, so when they saw Zhang Tianyuan get out of the car, they all squeezed over.

This time the official start time of the Emerald Public Market is the first day of the New Year, that is, tomorrow, some people booked the hotel before, but did not rush over, but most of them rushed to Naypyidaw today, after all, this city is really not comparable with Yangon, many people are to Yangon first to travel, and then rushed to Naypyidaw, ready to participate in tomorrow's Emerald Public Market, the result of this person, is basically crowded into a pile.

Fortunately, with the snake Lin on the side to escort, Zhang Tianyuan broke through the encirclement and entered the elevator, but just now he broke out of the wolf's den, and found that he was in the tiger's den again, good guy, there are a lot of people in this elevator, and they are all the same enthusiasm, someone saw Zhang Tianyuan holding a mat in his arms, and he came over very enthusiastically and said that he wanted to help hold it, so scared that Zhang Tianyuan almost did it, what are you kidding, this is a baby, can you give it to someone casually?

"Team Snake, I owe you today, if it weren't for you, it would have taken me at least ten hours to get from downstairs to my room, and I might not be able to walk. ”

The security guards of this hotel don't know how to do it, and they don't know how to come over to help clear the route, to be honest, if there is no snake, Zhang Tianyuan will have to walk for an hour, and he may not be able to walk. (To be continued......)
