Chapter 127: An Unexpected Discovery

"Brother Mingyang, where are you going? It's almost 6 o'clock, so it's time to go back and finish eating! Sang Kun saw Zhao Mingyang walking in the opposite direction and asked puzzledly. Brother Li, what are you selling there? Looking in the direction of Zhao Mingyang's finger, Sang Kun said with a smile: "There is an art market, selling some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts, rhinoceros horn, ivory, tiger whips, tiger skins and the like. Why, Brother Fame, are you interested in these? If it's rhinoceros horn, ivory, tiger whip, tiger skin, etc., brother, there are still some, I'll give you some back! ”

Zhao Mingyang said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Brother Li!" I want to go inside, it won't take much time! With that, he walked towards the art market. When he came inside, he found that there were only seven or eight stalls, and Zhao Mingyang asked Sang Kun puzzled, "Brother Li, why are there only so many stalls here?" Can this also be considered a market? Sang Kun explained with a smile: "I told you a long time ago, there is nothing to see in it." The day after tomorrow, the jade market will begin, and many businessmen and tourists will go to Yangon to participate in the jade market, so most of the stall owners here go to Yangon to set up stalls. Let's go, hurry back! My siblings are still waiting for you! ”

"Don't worry! Since you're here, let's take a look first! Anyway, there aren't many of them, so it won't take long! With that, Zhao Mingyang walked towards the stall not far from him. Sang Kun shook his head helplessly and followed. When he came to the stall, Zhao Mingyang found that in addition to the rhinoceros horns, ivory and other things he bought here, the most sold were Buddha statues. There are all kinds of Buddha statues, some of which are made of bronze, some of which are carved of wood, some of which are carved of stone, and some of which are made of clay. Of course, there are also jadeite carvings, but they are all not very good jadeite carvings.

Zhao Mingyang didn't have any interest in these Buddha statues, so he didn't bother to look at them anymore. When he was about to go back with Sang Kun, he habitually swept down the seven or eight stalls here with his ability. Sweeping this is not tight, Zhao Mingyang found a very interesting thing, and it was the third one in it. This is also a Buddha statue, the difference is that this Buddha statue has something in its belly. It's a key, a picture, and a letter.

Zhao Mingyang walked to the stall in a few steps, looked at the things sold in this stall, pointed to the tiger whip and asked, "How much is this?" Sang Kun walked up and said with a smile: "Brother Mingyang, it's not okay for you to eat this at a young age!" "Hah! Ha! Ha! He burst out laughing. While laughing, he also looked Zhao Mingyang up and down. When Zhao Mingyang saw him like this, he knew that he wanted to be crooked.

So he said, "What do you think! How could I possibly eat such a thing! I can't buy this thing in China at all, I just want to buy some and give it back to my elders! Sang Kun smiled maliciously and said, "I understand! I get it! Famous brother, you don't have to buy it! I still have a few more! I'll send you two back. Zhao Mingyang shook his head and said, "Forget it!" Yours should be kept and eaten by yourself! There are many elders in my family, and two roots are not enough at all. I'm better to buy it myself. ”

Sang Kun smiled awkwardly, and the boss said, "This one million sticks!" "What? Why is it so expensive! Zhao Mingyang said in disbelief. Sang Kun explained with a smile: "Brother Mingyang, you misunderstood! He's talking about 1 million kyats! The synthetic RMB is only a few thousand yuan! Zhao Mingyang's talent turned out to be a mistake for him, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "I bought all of your talents!" The boss said happily: "I have five heels, and there are three more at home." If you want it all, I'll get it for you tomorrow when I get home!" ”

Zhao Mingyang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" I bought these five today, and I'll buy the rest in a few days! As he spoke, he took the small bag from Qian Yu's hand, took out $10,000 from the bag and handed it to the boss. The boss waved his hand again and again: "I don't need so much!" Zhao Mingyang smiled and shouted: "If any of you still has tiger whips on their stalls, you can take them all, and I will buy them all." The bosses took all the tiger whips they sold, and one of the bosses took a few deer whips and said, "This boss, do you want a deer whip?" Very cheap! Only 500,000 sticks! ”

Zhao Mingyang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" Put this! "After buying all the tiger whips here, there are more than 3,000 points left in the $10,000. The boss was about to find the rest of the money to Zhao Mingyang, but Zhao Mingyang waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to find the money first!" I'm going to see something else! As he spoke, he pointed to the bronze Buddha and asked, "How much is this?" My mother-in-law happens to be a Buddhist, so please go back and give it to her! The boss obviously didn't understand antiques, and said, "This boss, the gold paint on this Buddha statue is about to fall off." Why don't you please this one? As he spoke, he took out a new bronze Buddha statue and said, "This Buddha statue was opened by the master!" ”

What are you kidding, how could Zhao Mingyang buy his so-called bronze Buddha that the master had opened! Zhao Mingyang shook his head and said, "No need! That's it! I see that statue seems to have been worshiped for a long time, the Buddha is more angry, just him! The boss scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This little brother is really good-looking!" This Buddha statue was originally our family. My father worshipped him a lot before he was alive! After my father died, I changed to a jadeite one, and this one was useless, so I took it out and sold it! "Hey, hey! He laughed embarrassedly as he spoke.

Then he said, "If you want this, I'll charge you a hundred dollars!" Zhao Mingyang nodded, and then after buying some ivory, rhinoceros horn and other things from the boss and spending the money until there were only a few hundred dollars left, he told the boss that he didn't need to look for it, and followed Sang Kun back. After returning to Sangkun's manor, Zhao Mingyang looked at the large pile of rough stones, tiger whips and ivory he bought, and said to Chen Le: "Chen Le, you should first send back to China these rough stones and these tiger whip ivory I bought here!" The rough stones are sent directly to the processing bases in Jieyang and Yangzhou. These tiger whips and ivory or something will be put in Yangzhou first! ”

Sang Kun looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, "Brother Mingyang, do you plan to transport these by plane or by car?" "What's wrong? Brother Li! Is there any difference between shipping by plane and by car? Zhao Mingyang asked puzzled. Of course there is a difference! If you buy these rough stones by plane, you will have to go through the Burmese government, and the handling fee alone will be a lot! Now this situation sends money to the Burmese government, which is the enemy of capital! If it is transported by car, my brother has a way for you to transport these to Yunnan without spending a penny. When the time comes, won't you just be able to transport it back by plane from Yunnan? ”

Zhao Mingyang nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Li." Just do as you say! Chen Le, you listen to Brother Li's instructions to send these rough stones back first, and then come to Yangon to reconcile with us! Chen Le and General Sang Kun arranged for someone to send the original stone, while Zhao Mingyang was studying how to take out the contents of the Buddha's stomach. After watching it for a while, I didn't come up with any good solutions. In desperation, I had to break the Buddha statue before I could take out the contents inside.

After saying a few words in my heart, Buddha, don't blame, I was ready to drop the Buddha statue. As soon as he lifted it, Xiao Han came out and saw Zhao Mingyang holding a Buddha statue and asked, "Mingyang, what are you doing?" "The Reborn Gambling King
