Chapter 87 Cooperation
A simple trade is never a real deal. Yunxi and Lao Jin are both businessmen, and when they heard this master say that they were talking about things in a different place, they didn't disclose the details at all, so they knew that something would definitely follow.
Sure enough, as soon as they passed the noisiest part of the crowd, they were suddenly surrounded by several people dressed as villagers, with something bulging in their clothes, and their eyes were as fierce as wolves.
The old master made a gesture, but without saying a word, he took the lead and walked in the direction of the north.
Yunxi held Lao Jin's hand, and several old experts followed them very calmly, escorted to a clearing by this group of "villagers" and their "polite" manner.
It was only about a ten-minute walk, surrounded by a sparsely populated forest of felled trees, with the occasional bird or two flying low.
A man stood with his back to them, and looking at the figure, it was the man disguised as a Middle Eastern woman.
As soon as they turned around, Lao Jin and Yunxi were stunned.
I thought that people who could imitate women's voices should at least be a little bit feminine, or underage feelings, but who knew that he was an extremely masculine man.
Turning back to the group, he looked up and down a few times, and looked at the old master.
At this time, the two tour guides who had just run away were pushed aside by a "villager" and pointed at a gun, trembling with fright.
"Are you Chinese?" The man in black spoke, and glanced at one of the tour guides, so frightened that the other person didn't dare to squeak.
The old man became a temporary interpreter: "This is our captain, and I hope you will answer the questions honestly." Then he repeated the man's question.
"Yes, we are Chinese," Lao Jin stopped in front of Yunxi: "It's just to talk about business with you, and it doesn't mean anything else." ”
If you were trying to cause trouble, you would have already told the people on the government side what you knew, how could you send it to the door to find death?
The old master, who knew the twists and turns inside, nodded, and talked to the man in black who was standing in the distance away from them.
I saw that the man in black glanced at them with those eyes from time to time, and pointed at Lao Jin and Yunxi from time to time, as if something was bothering him.
Finally, after going around in a circle, he made a look and asked those with guns to pull over an old expert.
The other three experts looked at their companion who was pulled away with horrified expressions, trying to save him, but they were suddenly stopped by the rest of the guns, Yunxi and Lao Jin immediately stood in front of them and comforted: "Don't worry, they won't do anything to us, if something really happens, the army can't afford this reputation." ”
The words were said to the master who cut the stone, this person is a good person, since he can deal with the jade merchants in Yunnan for so many years, he will not be a good stubble.
Sure enough, hearing what they meant, he turned his head and looked at them: "You know people from the government?" ”
"It's not so much acquaintance as networking." Lao Jin looked at the old expert who was taken away alone by the man in black, and his eyes were a little worried.
The stone-cutting master glanced at her: "I don't know, what kind of communication are you talking about?" ”
In the distance, a tour guide was kicked over to the old expert, and the man in black was now asking him something, and the guide was translating. His expression was nervous, and his face was almost covered with fear, obviously very afraid of this man in black. It seems that it is not just an acquaintance, but a familiar character.
A small captain, dressed as a man, dressed as a woman, in this kind of small village, just to set up a bureau, who is leading? For what?
Yunxi's mind was racing fast. It's just that there are too few clues to distinguish ideas at all.
"The relationship between Myanmar and China has always been good, although we are not rich and noble people in China, but we also have a certain social influence," Lao Jin said while looking at the expression of the stone cutter, but saw that he looked disapproving, and his heart became more and more bottomless, and after thinking about it, he finally popped up a name: "Before going abroad, we asked Grantham where there were good mineral sources, and he introduced us to come here." ”
Let's take a gamble, since Grantham was able to tell them the location of this remote mining area in the first place, he should know the relevant people. Now I just want that his face is big enough that this group of people will not dare to touch them lightly.
The prayer in his heart seemed to be heard by God, and the stone-cutting master did not react, but the man in black who had been interrogating the old expert over there looked back at Lao Jin very quickly: "You were introduced by Grantham?" ”
There was a little doubt in his words, and his eyes were a little darker.
Lao Jin took a careful breath and shouted to the man in black: "If you don't believe it, you can call to confirm." ”
Who knows, the man in black sneered: "Then let the whole world know that you are in my hands, so that the people of the government can come and protect you?" ”
Lao Jin choked suddenly, he didn't expect this person to be so agile.
Yunxi wanted to say something, but he didn't expect the black-clothed man's expression to change, and he immediately took out a mobile phone and made a call.
The duration of the arc was very short, and it was not an international distance at all, but soon the expression of the man in black eased a lot.
Yunxi speculated that he might have another way to prove their identities. Not only from the hotel where they have stayed in the past few days, but also from the attention of the "dark whistles" around them since entering the village, they can vaguely piece together a little trace.
"Grantham is an upper-class person from Europe and the United States, since you were introduced by him, we might as well find a clean place to sit down and talk slowly in the evening." After preliminarily ruling out that they were from the government, the expressions of the men in black were a little kinder, but unfortunately with the spicy appearance that they were accustomed to seeing blood all year round, how to look at it, how did they feel like weasels greeting chickens for the New Year.
In any case, we have survived the current crisis.
As long as you are willing to sell Grantham a little face, it will be easy to do.
They followed the soldiers around and into a military truck, and soon they came to the nearest county nearby.
He was taken into a very shabby-looking hotel, and as soon as he entered the door, he was put on a black turban, and he couldn't see anything, and he was dragged into a room with his eyes smeared. There was food and drink on the table, and it was bumpy all the way, and I didn't have much appetite, but I was afraid that I didn't know when I would have this meal, so a few people ate it roughly.
At this time, the man in black went and returned.
Obviously, while they were eating, he had already identified the identity of their group.
"I'm sorry, but our relationship with the government has been tense lately, and as you know, Myanmar has never been very peaceful, so it's a bit of a rumor, and I'm really sorry to scare you." The stone-cutting teacher followed the man in black in, speaking more and more smoothly in Chinese, and holding a huge box in his hand.
Yunxi didn't pay much attention to the "sorry" expressions on the faces of the two of them, since the moment she heard Grantham's name and the moment the man in black stopped interrogating, she knew that there was not much of a problem with this trip.
Come to think of it, I guess I also confirmed it with Grantham, otherwise, I wouldn't have changed my attitude so quickly.
"What is this?" In other people's land, the shape is stronger than the person, and it is best not to be reckless at this time. Everyone here knows this. Therefore, it is obvious that the other party has played tricks and they have seen through it, and they cannot be wronged if they are robbed by force. Lao Jin pointed to the box that the master was holding.
"As a gift, I would like to give you something that shocked you, and I hope you will forgive me for what happened today." The old master smiled, reached out and handed the tin box to Lao Jin.
As soon as Lao Jin took it, he felt that something was wrong with this weight, and asked, "Can I open it?" ”
"Of course," the man in black gestured, "this is the sincerity of our cooperation, and I hope you are satisfied." ”
As soon as Lao Jin opened the box, Yunxi and the others were stunned, and they were immediately so shocked by the transparency of their eyes that they forgot where they were.
"This, this is the glass species!" An old expert stretched out his finger and pointed to the piece of jade in the box tremblingly, his eyes full of amazement.
Obviously it is a windowless room, and the lights are a little dim, but as soon as the iron box is opened, I see that the jade lying quietly in it has fluorescence, which is what experts call "fluorescence". The luster is not the brilliance of the diamond, on the contrary, it is with a kind of glass luster, the old gold is the closest, you can see the delicate and pure flawless jadeite when you hang your head, the color is extremely pure, and this green with bright, rich, is the legendary jadeite in the top grade.
This piece alone is worth the turnover of "Gu Yuxuan" for half a month.
Lao Jin's eyes almost began to glow: "Since you are so sincere, then you might as well talk about business now." ”
What she said was not only to calm things down, but also to sell them a good one, not to talk about the previous disagreement, but only to talk about business. Interests are sometimes the best way to bring people closer together. Especially with soldiers like them who are in the jade business, there is nothing more direct and effective than benefits.
Whether they set such a trap to lure ignorant merchants into buying large quantities of low-priced gambling stones, hoarding funds, or having other plans, these are not in their consideration.
Being able to casually take out such a piece of old pit glass mining area, knowing that they are Grantham's friends and immediately changing their attitudes, these two points alone are enough to talk about this business.
Two hours later, Yunxi, Lao Jin, and the four experts walked out of the hotel with a relieved expression and vague joy.
"Unexpectedly, after only a few months of investing in 'Gu Yuxuan', you are about to become an expert." Yunxi glanced at Lao Jin with a smile, this woman's shrewdness at the negotiation table just now made the man in black stunned.
"That's it, the daughter of the purchase price, how can this thing not be done." Like boasting, and like complacent, Lao Jin bent his eyes, and in the sunset, he smiled calmly at Yunxi, very calmly, in exchange for a white eye, let's not talk about it for the time being......
