Chapter 24: Adventures in Yangon

What is Myanmar best known for? Ninety-nine percent of the people will say the word jade in unison. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is actually compared to the most magical ruby in Burmese gemstones, jadeite is actually not valuable.

"Pigeon's Blood Red" is the highest standard among Burmese rubies. Of course, if the rubies from Sri Lanka and Thailand can also reach the "pigeon's blood red" level, they will also be called Burmese rubies by everyone. This alone is a testament to the high quality of the rubies produced in Myanmar.

However, this magical gem is not popular on the Chinese side, and many people think that this ore is extraordinarily cheesy, and there is no jadeite kind of heritage at all, which seems to be because of the culture of the Chinese.

When they were members of the prospecting team, Qiao Haicheng Mo and they didn't value these, although the price was expensive, but there was no use for decoration! At that time, another beautiful and deadly mineral variant found in Monsai, Myanmar, was much more stable than the instability and highly toxic characteristics of ordinary emerald arsenic copper-uranium ore.

Stable is stable, but its high level of radiation and virulence still make everyone shy away. At that time, the local residents called this thing the devil's eye, and the deep pit where the mine was found was used to execute heretics.

At that time, Daotuo and Tunqin were recognized by the local drug lord as an anti-narcotics police and tied to a tree to prepare for capital punishment, but fortunately, Qiao Hai and Cheng Mo arrived, and through a long explanation, the little drug lord finally realized the rarity of this ore. Cheng Mo personally went out to help the drug lord contact the Chinese government and invest in the establishment of a modern refinery in the local area.

Although the profits earned by this refinery are not as high as those of opium poppy cultivation, they are about the same, and it is better to be stable and not have to live in fear every day. Since then, the drug lord has also turned into a successful whitewash, and he has been called a very bullish supplier. Since then, this drug lord has admired Qiao Hai and Cheng Mo very much, and he has three points of courtesy.

Of course, all the goods in the refinery were purchased by a Chinese company, which is a later story, and will not be mentioned here.

Today, Qiao Hai and Cheng Mo walked through the streets of Yangon, looking at the crowded shops on both sides, full of emotion. When did Chinese people become synonymous with money and stupidity abroad? If there is really jade in that kind of broken stone, Qiao Hai can pick out his eyeballs as a bubble, but in the fluent Mandarin of the shop owner, this broken stone has become a high-end product among the top ten famous pits in Myanmar!

"Look at this skin, do you see it? How transparent is this light? After going back and opening it, you may be able to open the glass species, how much money do you spend here, if you open a good jadeite, live in a villa and buy a luxury car is just around the corner. ”

The customer was immersed in the good life described by the shopkeeper, and automatically ignored the shopkeeper's last sentence of almost unhearable immortal indemnity.

Cheng Mo's face was also twitching, but he didn't go up to stop the other party. After all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you can't get used to it, just turn your head.

Compared with the shops that sell jadeite rough, the merchants who specialize in selling rubies are obviously high-end and high-grade. The disdain for them could be seen in the disdain they had for the other jade shops.

The most important thing for Qiao Hai and them to come over this time is to be entrusted to buy pigeon blood red, who can have such a big face? Who else could there be besides Zhang Ji, a female bandit? And when you release the words, money is not a problem, the key is that it must be true!

This is what was stimulated by the top sapphire that Qiao Hai took back, who is Zhang Ji, a famous female hooligan in the circle! If you like something, you must get it. However, Meilin is not easy to mess with, and the two of them are good girlfriends, so this hard work fell on Qiao Hai and Cheng Mo.

"Danto, my friend, how are you doing?" As soon as he entered the store, Qiao Hai shouted loudly. Cheng Mo was also smiling on the side. This Dantuo is their friend, and he was also a good hand in the National Mining Bureau. However, during a mission, his left leg was seriously injured, and his Achilles tendon was completely broken. After reluctantly retiring, he opened a gem shop.

With his relationship in the National Mining Bureau and his high vision, he is extraordinary. In just a few years, it has developed from a small shop on the street to the largest store in this jewelry street.

"Haha, Ah Hai, Brother Cheng, why don't you two call me to pick you up when you two come?" Dan Tuo also said excitedly.

"What are you picking up, what are you doing so politely with brothers? This time I came here on a business trip. At noon today, you will arrange it, and you will come to Daotuo and Tunqin later. This is the tea you have been dreaming of and the latest aging I have gotten, put it away. Qiao Hai said with a smile.

The three of them sat down in the reception room so as not to disturb the other guests. Immediately a little girl with a plate came in, Cheng Mo's face changed when she saw it, and Qiao Hai laughed and said: "I haven't chewed pure Burmese-style betel nut for a long time, come, girl, roll one for me." ”

Although the well-behaved betel nut girl couldn't understand what Qiao Hai was saying? But he still knew what Qiao Hai meant, so he directly took out the leaves and smeared them with oyster ashes, and then began to sprinkle them with various spices, and then began to put the cut betel nuts. It may be that Qiao Hai's smile is very contagious, the little girl hesitated, and originally only put three but put one more, and then rolled it up and handed it to Qiao Hai.

After chewing for a while, Qiao Hai nodded, handed over ten yuan, and stretched out a slap to signal for another five. The little girl was very happy, for she had to roll more than 30 yuan to earn it.

Seeing the little girl running out happily, Cheng Mo said with a wry smile: "Ah Hai, why do you like to eat this?" The taste is just too strange. ”

Dan Tuo smiled on the side and said, "Brother Cheng, how can there be orthodox Burmese people who don't eat betel nut?" But in your Chinese words, betel nut and cigarette magic are boundless. Qiao Hai, forget about that way of eating, ordinary people can't bear it. ”

After the three of them chatted for a while, Cheng Mo said: "Dantuo, the main reason we came here this time is to help our friends pick a piece of pigeon blood red, do you have it here?" ”

Dan Tuo smiled bitterly and said, "Pigeon blood red? You should also know that in the current market, it is difficult to meet genuine goods. Even if there is, it's a small one. However, there are a few pieces of good quality pink sapphires that are slightly worse than one grade, should you consider them? ”

Cheng Mo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think Zhang Ji, the female devil, will want pink sapphires?" ”

As soon as he heard the name Zhang Ji, Dan Tuo's face changed. At the beginning, the two had a fight in Yunnan, although the consequences were not said, but it can be understood from the fact that Dantuo no longer dared to be arrogant in front of Zhang Ji.

Danto covered his forehead with one hand and groaned, "Why let me hear her name again, this is a nightmare in my heart. But doesn't Zhang Ji dislike gemstones? Why do you suddenly want to buy pigeon blood red? ”

"Because this female devil is pregnant, she changes her tricks every day!" Qiao Hai said.

Danto shrugged his shoulders in understanding, and was about to say something when he heard someone arguing in the hall outside.

The three of them went out of the reception room together, only to find that the manager of the store was arguing with a man wrapped in a bag, and the middle-aged man was angry and pointed to a stone in his hand and didn't know what he was talking about.

Qiao Hai and Cheng Mo understand Burmese, but that refers to the orthodox official Burmese, and there is no problem with normal communication, but it is a little confusing to understand this kind of Burmese dialect mixed with a lot of dialects and swear slang.

After listening for a while, Dan Tuo said with a smile: "This person was originally a miner over there in Mogu, but later came back because he couldn't stand the suffering there, and now he is farming at home for a living. His wife picked up a stone by the river yesterday, and he thought it was ruby ore, so she wanted to sell it in my shop, but the two of them quarreled because the price was not negotiated. ”

Cheng Mo smiled, he couldn't know more about the virtues of traditional men in Myanmar, what did he go home to farm? Isn't it his daughter-in-law plowing the fields? He stepped forward and picked up the stone in the man's hand, and took a closer look at the identification area.

Appraisals of Cheng Mo's level can generally be used as appraisals, which is recognized by the State Mining Bureau of Myanmar. Danto stopped the store manager and sent him aside with a word. And the man was about to shout, but he was shocked by Cheng Mo's professionalism and dedication, this person is not stupid, how can the rich man Dantuo, who can be known on the whole street, be an ordinary person?

Ten minutes later, Cheng Mo raised his head, looked at the man and said calmly: "The average raw ore, the shape is good, when the collection is good, I will accept 10,000 yuan." If you don't want to, you can try it at another store. ”

10,000 yuan can be exchanged for nearly 2 million kyats at today's exchange rate, and the monthly salary of an ordinary migrant worker is only 70,000 kyats. Two million for one stone, this man's expression is very wonderful.

I thought that he would sit on the ground and raise the price, but what he didn't expect was that the man grabbed the stone and stuffed it into Cheng Mo's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Deal!" ”

"Dantuo, you help me give it to him first, and I'll transfer it to you later." Cheng Mo said with an indifferent expression, but Qiao Hai keenly noticed that Cheng Mo's feet were constantly grinding the cigarette butts on the ground.

There must be something good to discover, Qiao Hai is very sure, because Cheng Mo's habit is only known to people in the circle, just like Qiao Hai will clench his fists when he is nervous, while Lao Yun is touching his nose.

Seeing the man running away with a big bag that was almost crazy, Dan Tuo said with a smile: "This person is very smart, at least he is not greedy!" Then he came to Cheng Mo's side and said with a smile and whispered: "Don't pretend, hurry up and cut it to make me happy, if there is no good thing, you will pay 10,000?" (To be continued.) )
