Chapter 88: Ghost Markets in Southeast Asia
"When it comes to pagodas, the most famous is naturally the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, which is also the pride and symbol of the whole Myanmar, just like the Great Wall of our country. ”
Pang Guangji introduced with great interest: "The Shwedagon Pagoda is dedicated to the holy relics of the Buddha, you two rarely come to Myanmar once, and you will naturally go to see it for a while, so this trip is in vain!"
He Laosan waved his hand and said: "I'm not interested in any tourist attractions or anything like that, what I like is jade, jade wow! Let's hurry up and talk about gambling stones, how to gamble?"
Shen Mo and Pang Guangji both laughed, Pang Guangji shook his head and said: "Third brother, why are you still the same virtue as you used to? Okay, okay, then I'll talk about gambling stones." We all call the gambling stone conference the jade public market, and the public market is the meaning of the exhibition. Nothing else was on display at the exhibition, but all kinds of wool. ”
"Wait, isn't it called jadeite rough? What does wool mean?
He Laosan's question amused the silence.
The relationship between He Laosan and He is even inferior.
But this can't blame He Laosan for asking this kind of strange question, it's still 06 years, in China, gambling stones are only available in a few counties on the border with Myanmar, and they haven't been popular yet, so ordinary people don't even know what gambling stones are gambling on.
Otherwise, Zhu Dayan, the guy who slammed the door, would not be willing to spend a lot of money to hire a gambling stone consultant to bring Myanmar together.
Pang Guangji also shook his head and said, "The third child, the wool is the unprocessed jadeite rough." As for the jadeite, there is also a saying called jade in the stone, why it is called so, because when the jadeite is mined, it is hidden in the stones. And these stones are the so-called wool. “
"As for the gambling stone, it is necessary to determine whether there is jadeite in this stone, or even whether there is a jadeite with a high water head, by observing the weathered skin shell on the wool, which is a very eye-catching thing. ”
"So that's the case!" He Laosan suddenly realized, "You mean that this gambling stone is to look at the appearance of the stone to guess if there is any jade inside?!
"Otherwise, how can you say that gambling stones are 'a knife in heaven, a knife in hell'?"
Pang Guangji continued: "There is a saying that 'it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade', which is not in vain. Although some of us in this industry have summed up some experience, these lessons may not always work, but can only improve the probability of success. ”
"For example, first look at whether there is a green python belt around it, then look at its green thickness, and then look at the top and side of the python belt to see if there are any green pine flowers. ”
"If you have both, then you will definitely be able to get green after cutting, and we often say in this industry that we would rather buy a line than a piece, which is the truth. ”
Shen Mo and He Laosan glanced at each other, and they both felt very taught.
He Laosan hurriedly said: "Fatty, I can't wait to hear you say this! You are engaged in this business, do you have wool there? Take us to see and understand first, cut a few to play, and also practice your hands, and prepare for the jade public market the day after tomorrow!"
Pang Guangji smiled bitterly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Go to the hotel first, settle down and finish eating!"
"What kind of food are you eating!" He Laosan said dissatisfiedly, "You can eat at any time, and Brother Shen and I are not here to eat!"
Pang Guangji said helplessly: "Third brother, third brother, are you so anxious? Even if we don't eat, we have to settle the hotel first? You don't know, because this time, the hotels above the four-star in Yangon are fully booked early, buddy, how much relationship did I entrust to help you book a room." ”
"If you don't settle the room first, you will have to live in a private house or that kind of low-end hotel for the next two days, what are your habits?"
Thinking of some of the news he had heard about the cheap hotels in Myanmar before, He Laosan shuddered and said, "Let's go!
The shuttle drove all the way to the Savoy Hotel in Yangon, a five-star garden-style hotel in a beautiful location just a 20-minute walk from Shwedagon Pagoda.
Of course, whether it is He Laosan or Shen Mo, I haven't lived in any hotel, but I don't feel anything, but I just feel that the gap between the rich and the poor in Myanmar is too big, before they entered Yangon, most of what they saw were very old dilapidated houses, but after entering Yangon, they saw many villas and gardens along the way, and luxury cars were everywhere.
It's like two worlds.
After everyone settled in the hotel, they went to the restaurant on the second floor to eat.
What He Laosan didn't expect was that the waiters here all spoke fluent Chinese, although they had a little accent, but it didn't affect communication, so he asked curiously:
"They can also understand Chinese?"
Pang Guangji sneered: "Third child, you also underestimate the influence of our Huaguo in Southeast Asia. Do you believe it or not, the waiter here can still recite 300 Tang poems?"
He Laosan pouted: "When I didn't ask!"
Seeing this, Shen Mo smiled slightly. He knows the reason, the jadeite industry in Myanmar is a pillar industry of the country, and most of the people engaged in the jadeite business are Chinese, and even many Chinese have settled in Myanmar, such as Pang Guangji.
More people use it, and Chinese has become an official language of the Burmese people.
After eating, He Laosan shouted to see the wool, Pang Guangji originally arranged for a sister, but it was rare that He Laosan's attention was not on the woman now, so he had to take the two of them into the car.
Not long after, the three of them came to another part of Yangon's urban area, and before they got out of the car, they heard all kinds of cries in the distance.
"Pagang old pit species, the black black sand that was just transported yesterday is in a hurry, 20,000 kilograms, 100% guaranteed to rise!"
"Gray card new pit species, shipped this afternoon, absolute gray skin, absolute ice species, if you don't buy it, you will lose a lot. ”
“……”
The shouts came and went, but most of them were loudspeakers, and the sound was preserved before it was played. It's like a vegetable market, and those gambling stone merchants have become hawkers.
"This, this place is full of gambling stones?" He Laosan asked with wide eyes and curiosity. This market covers at least 10,000 square meters, which is no different from the Yangon trading hall he knows.
"It's almost, but there aren't many good things here, so you two come over first, so as not to go to the public market and not know anything. Later, Master Wu will also come over. Pang Guangji introduced that Master Wu was his gambling stone consultant.
He saw that He Laosan was thinking about a piece of wool, and he grabbed it: "Third child, you can also look at this kind of big road goods?
"Lao Pang, what kind of place is this?" He Laosan blushed and asked.
"This is the biggest ghost market in Southeast Asia!"
