Chapter Eighty-Six: Scary
Because of the sudden opening of ice seeds in such mines, almost all the buyers from all over the world flocked to the weekend market to inquire about the shop that sold gambling stones. The locals claimed that they didn't know very well, but they turned around and went to the place where the seller set up a stall a few days ago, thinking that how could such a good thing as picking up a leak be left to others, it was rare to encounter this kind of high-quality gambling stone, and it was not good that the rest of the things could be opened out of one or two pieces of ice. Not much, just one or two pieces are enough.
People with various ideas turned around the market, and finally found the seller, but unfortunately he was surrounded by water, and he couldn't even see his face, so he simply shrank in a makeshift room and shouted with a megaphone: "I don't have many gambling stones in my hands, if you really want to buy it sincerely, please register with me first, I will be in this place next week, and the goods will be paid on delivery at that time." ”
"Boss, if we want it, where do you get so many gambling stones? Don't be shoddy. A young man took off the hat on his head, looked at the crowd inside and outside, and couldn't help it: "Even if you have so many gambling stones, can you transport them to this place at one time?" The intersection of the market is estimated to be not crowded enough. ”
The seller is obviously the first time to deal with this situation, the business is good, every businessman likes it, but when so many customers are crowded up at once, not to mention transportation, the supply of goods has become a problem. It's really a gambling stone that is picked up casually on the side of the road.
If you want to buy other gambling stones because you have a big chance of winning, if you are really shoddy, who will spend that big price?
"Boss, if you look at this, I don't want cash on delivery, look at ......" The young man suddenly pulled out a dozen cash and shook it in the air, "Dollars, do you see?" I'll pay the deposit right now, and sell your best stones, as much as I want, and I'll buy as much as I want! ”
As soon as this sound came out, the people around it simply exploded.
"Just you have the money? Phew! How much more to buy? I can't kill you! ”
"Boss, don't listen to him, everyone is here to buy stones, why should he have the final say. You make a price, you want you to make a price, and I promise not to pay any of them! ”
"Who can't afford a deposit? Not to mention the deposit, it is no problem to pay in full. As long as you give me good material, the price will definitely satisfy you! ”
The whole market was almost overjoyed by all kinds of voices.
Yunxi and Lao Jin stood on the outermost side, looking at the posture of this crowd of people, and they almost suspected that they had gone to the wrong place.
Sure enough, like a legend, this place in Myanmar has a special plot for the gambling stone culture, and this is how much something happened, and this will spread.
"And no one cares?" The four old experts looked at this posture dumbfounded, anyway, this mining area is also under the name of the government and the army here, and no one has come forward when they hear about it?
Lao Jin pointed to the two soldiers standing at the intersection and smiled: "It's not that I don't care, but I don't want to interfere at all." ”
At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in front of them.
Lao Jin grabbed Yunxi's sleeve: "Go, follow her." ”
A few people immediately followed the Middle Eastern woman who looked like an upstart a few days ago, and turned all the way to a thatched house.
The place is actually in the middle of nowhere, and to be honest, there is not even a decent village, and most of the population is either a laborer working in the mines, or a nearby businessman who gambles his luck on weekends, and the area is humid, so people generally live in thatched houses.
However, the rich man who has seen this heroic woman as a villa walks into such a simple house, and the first thought that comes to his heart is "weird".
They followed the woman to the door, and were hesitating to knock on the door, when two men suddenly came.
Immediately, the expressions of the four experts changed.
It turned out to be the two soldiers who had just patrolled the intersection.
He seemed to have something in his hand, wrapped in a black cloth.
"Could it be that the woman is from the military?" No one said this, but in his heart he had basically concluded this idea. In Burma, the military is not like the People's Liberation Army in China, and in a sense, even if it treats civilians with cold-blooded cruelty, it makes people wonder if they are compatriots of a country.
However, why did the military pay for gambling stones in their own mining areas?
This question turned in his mind, and before he could guess a clue, he saw that the two soldiers had already come out, and then there was a man who followed.
It turned out that there was still a person in the grass house.
The black cloth was now in his hand.
After the three of them left, Yunxi and the others waited and waited, but the Middle Eastern woman never came out.
Lao Jin stood in front of the door, didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door: "Sure enough." ”
Yunxi's eyes swept and looked at the empty room, revealing a sudden smile.
The two looked at each other, and slowly and leisurely swayed to the market place.
Lao Jin pointed to the seller who sold gambling stones, "It seems that this person should also be from the army." "This good hand played extremely well, and I don't know what kind of characters came out of the army, and I played such a beautiful game.
"When did you find out?" Although they are all laymen who gamble on stones, Yunxi has to admit that Lao Jin is more interested than himself, and for this good show, I am afraid that it is really as I said two days ago, the ice species that was opened in public is actually just a trick.
"From the moment the Middle Eastern woman left abruptly while she was gambling on a rock, I felt that something was wrong. But at that time it wasn't quite sure. Lao Jin smiled and pointed to the man who was a little far away from the shop that sold gambling stones, and it was the man who had just come out of the thatched house. The Middle Eastern woman only showed a pair of eyes, which was not a problem, but I glanced at her feet," and then she pointed to the man's feet: "The big one is a little too out of place, although the voice is quite feminine, but the demeanor doesn't seem to be a man at all, which is a bit unusual." ”
The status of women in the Middle East is not very high, unless the woman is a nobleman, but that is a rare case. Appearing in this kind of bazaar, without bodyguards and guards, it is impossible to say that it is a nobleman. Therefore, Lao Jin suspected that this was actually a man. Looking at the posture of throwing money, you can know that ordinary women are arrogant, but they don't have that feeling.
"So, I opened an 'ice seed' deliberately to raise the price?" An old expert heard the meaning of the two of them, and went on directly: "Let everyone see the whole process of opening the 'ice seed' on the spot, so as to make a name for themselves, and then sell a large number of inferior wool materials at a top price with shoddy?" ”
"Yes." It is estimated that if you regret the one-third of the gambling stones that were promised at the beginning, you can return the other gambling stones, which is also a trap. Step by step, circle by circle, leading people to the bait.
"If it's designed like this, there must be another person who has also colluded in advance." Yunxi glanced around, pointed to the place with the least crowd, and smiled lightly: "It seems that we have to talk to him." ”
Several people followed her gaze and saw that the old master who cut the stone was sitting on the ground playing with a piece of wool.
Looking at the size of that, it was the same size as the burden that the two soldiers had just held in their hands.
When I got closer, sure enough, the black cloth was being thrown not far away.
Yunxi pointed to the guide with a look of surprise on his face and chuckled: "Don't worry, we don't want to cause trouble, we just want to talk to him about business." ”
From beginning to end, I heard them talk about this "trap" like a child playing with the tour guide who was sweating all over his head, in Myanmar, it is not terrible to know the secrets of the army, what is terrible is to let the army know that you know his secrets.
The safest people in the world who can keep secrets are the dead.
In the face of this clearest truth, everyone is afraid that if you take one wrong step, you will never recover.
The two of them were so frightened that their legs were almost weak, trembling, and they couldn't even stand on their feet, so how could they still be in the mood to translate anything.
Lao Jin pulled the two aside at once, and muttered, the voice was very small, and even Yunxi didn't hear what she said, but the faces of the two tour guides improved significantly.
After a while, I saw one of them boldly leaning into the old master's ear and saying a few words.
I saw that the old master suddenly raised his head, his eyes were sharp, like an eagle soaring in the sky, and his eyes cut over the faces of several of them like a blade, like a tangible blade, making people feel that under this warm sun, there was a sudden chill behind them.
Lao Jinleng paused for a while, and then stepped forward, "We don't mean anything else, we are just interested in the price comparison of jadeite in the mining area, and if possible, we hope to sign a contract and cooperate for a long time." ”
She deliberately deepened her tone on the words "long-term cooperation" at the end, and then glanced at the wool in the master's hand: "Of course, what we want is the real thing, just forget about the 'ice species' like two days ago." ”
"How do you know I have the real thing?" What was surprising was that as soon as the teacher spoke, it turned out to be a standard Chinese. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it did not affect his pronunciation at all.
Yunxi was stunned, he didn't expect to meet a real expert in this realm. Just this accent knows that he is a veteran who has been dealing with people in Yunnan, China for a long time, and it is estimated that he has been playing gambling stones, and he has definitely not had this accent for decades.
"The mining areas are all military, where can the best resources be if they are not here?" Lao Jin slapped him hard, God knows, if someone from the government was here, she would probably be able to say such a thing without changing her face.
However, looking at the world, who doesn't like to listen to good words, knowing that this is a compliment, the person's face is extraordinarily better, and he actually patted his ass with a smile and stood up, "You follow me, find a place to talk and talk about ......"
It's as simple as that? ……
