The Sandala family has a unified base in Lao Hpakant City, and every expert in the family who goes to the mining area to gamble on the mine will set this place as a temporary base, and Li Yang's arrival this time is no exception.

Lao Hpakant is one of the earliest old jadeite mines in Myanmar, and now most of the jadeite mines have been mined, slowly turning into a concentration of mining centers.

It's just that this concentration also looks a little too shabby.

When Sima Lin and Li Can came, the old city of Wacheng that they passed through was compared with here, and it became an extremely prosperous metropolis. Even Sima Lin, who had seen the real slums, couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the messy and unremarkable large thatched hut in front of him.

It is said that the thatched houses have lifted them, and at a glance, most of them are a few thick branches with a little shabby grass and vines, making people feel that such a house can be toppled with a light push.

It's such a house, there are some old people and children living in it, most of them are dark-skinned, and some people not far away still look at Li Yang and them, and then go and do whatever they need to do.

"Mr. Li, the conditions here are really not good, you can only settle for a few days!"

Sandara sighed softly, stood beside Li Yang and whispered, there was a two-story building behind them, which was made of stone, and it was also the best place in this area.

This small building is the temporary resting place of the gambling experts in the Sandala family, and it is also their stronghold in this center.

"It's okay, I'm just, just a little surprised!"

Li Yang had an indescribable expression on his face, and looking back at the stone building not far away, Li Yang shook his head again.

Compared with those houses that look down and see rattans and branches, the small building behind him is a top-level luxury villa, at least there are doors, windows, and electricity.

But it's just to ensure this, it's almost impossible to live a comfortable and luxurious life here, and Li Yang now regrets bringing Wang Jiajia here.

Li Yang turned his head and looked at Wang Jiajia, looking a little distressed, and couldn't help but say: "Jiajia, why don't I ask Mr. Sandala to send you back first, you wait for me in the manor first, anyway, I will go back in a few days!" ”

"It's okay, it's very nice here, it's not like I've never seen such an environment!"

Wang Jiajia raised her head, flashed her cute big eyes, and said to Li Yang with a smile. Wang Jiajia has experienced the harsh environment of Tibet, although it is not as good as here, but it is not much worse, and he still has a certain ability to resist the environment here.

"I'm serious, look here......"

Li Yang hurriedly said another word, looked back, and finally shook his head slightly, this is the poorest and most dilapidated place Li Yang has ever seen in his life.

"Really, I will follow you wherever you are, you can rest assured that I will definitely not hold you back!" Wang Jiajia's body leaned lightly against Li Yang, and there was still some sweetness in her heart.

"Okay, but you have to bring it up when you can't stand it!"

Seeing that Wang Jiajia refused to leave, Li Yang had no choice but to give up, the environment here is very poor, but the stronghold of a big family like Sandala should be better, at least their own living environment can still have a certain guarantee.

"Mr. Li, welcome!"

A middle-aged man in his fifties walked in the distance, followed by seven or eight people behind him, and the middle-aged man at the front immediately showed a bright smile on his face when he saw Li Yang.

"Uncle?"

Li Yang looked a little surprised, and looked back at Sandala, the middle-aged man who took the lead turned out to be the senior uncle in charge of the market.

"Gao Bo is your assistant this time, although Gao Bo has been in charge of the market all these years, but he has always been in the mining area when he was young, and he is much more familiar with the environment here than I do!"

Sandara immediately explained, this time General Thornton was ruthless, and wanted to set up the most powerful gambling team for Li Yang, and even Gao Bo, who was in charge of the market, was transferred.

But if you think about it, you can understand that there is no ore vein, the family is gone, what is the use of guarding a market, the biggest problem for them at present is to gamble on the mine, and gambling on new ore veins can continue to maintain the survival of the family.

"Mr. Li, I will work under you in the future, you can find me if you have any questions here!"

Gao Bo's attitude was very positive, and there was no disbelief in Li Yang, after Zhuo Lao woke him up, and Li Yang really won Zhuo Lao on the gambling stone, so that Gao Bo slowly changed from unconvinced to admiration for Li Yang, for the continuation of the family, Gao Bo was more willing to assist Li Yang with all his might.

Besides, Li Yang really gambled on the ore vein, and that also had his share of credit, and Gao Bo did not have any complaints about coming to the mining area to gamble on the mine this time.

A few people behind Gao Bo looked at Li Yang curiously, most of them were over forty or fifty years old, and they were also members of the gambling mining team.

Some of them are geologists, biologists and mountain researchers, and the hidden veins of jadeite ore are generally very deep, coupled with various special factors in the mining area, these skilled scientists are also important members of the gambling mining team.

Generally speaking, they will first analyze the area to explore whether there is a possibility of mining, and exclude those pure mountains. If you find a place where there is a possibility of jadeite, it will become a place of focus, and the next thing is Li Yang's work.

Li Yang has to judge whether there is a real jadeite mine here, and if there is jadeite, there is no mining value.

Judging whether there are ore veins and how many ore veins are Li Yang's real work, and it is also the most important work, which mainly relies on the experience accumulated by the gambling mine master in the gambling stone for many years.

The vein is composed of jadeite ore, whether there will be jadeite in it, and how much good jadeite will be produced can only be inferred by the gambling mine master.

Strictly speaking, a vein is a larger gambling stone, the difference is that this gambling stone is very, very large, so big that no one can solve it by themselves.

If you want to find out whether there is jadeite in this very large 'gambling stone', it is not something that geologists and biologists can study, and these can only rely on those gambling stone experts with extraordinary abilities.

That's why there is a powerful gambling stone master, and he is a powerful gambling mining expert.

However, as long as there is something with the word 'gambling', no one is sure of winning, and no matter how powerful the gambling mining experts are, even the Emerald King has made a mistake in judgment, and regarded the area without a vein as a vein with jadeite, and mined in vain.

The gambling mining expert of the Sandala family last time was also like this, judging that there was a large jade mine worth mining in a place, which surprised General Thornton and went all out to mine at a high cost, but in the end it was an inferior vein of low value, which was equivalent to gambling on the mine.

The loss of gambling mining and gambling is much greater than that of gambling stones, and each time you gamble on mining and gambling, you have to pay at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sandara took Li Yang to a temporary resting place, and Gao Bo introduced the members of the other team to Li Yang, and those people looked at Li Yang with curiosity and suspicion. Li Yang's age is really too young, which is not at all the same as the old gambling and mining experts who are often sixty or seventy years old.

Gambling mining experts in their twenties, it can be said that no one has seen them here.

Suspicion is suspicion, no one dares to publicly question Li Yang's identity, in the mining area, gambling experts are the number one and have the highest rights.

The temporary rest place is different from the manor, but fortunately, it is very clean, and there are special people here to clean it every day, which makes Li Yang very satisfied.

Li Yang and the others arrived at the mining area in the morning, and there was still a little time before lunch, and after arranging the room, Li Yang simply took Wang Jiajia and Li Can to other places in the mining area, wanting to take a good look at what this large jade mining area that produces tens of billions of yuan every year is like.

What Li Yang wanted to do, Sandala did not dare to object, and immediately followed with fifty or sixty heavily armed soldiers. It's very shabby here, and it's very messy in a dilapidated place, and robberies and fights here are all trivial things, even if someone dies, no one usually cares.

"Boss, I used to watch the Hope Project, and I felt that many families in our mountainous areas were living poor enough, but when you see this, hey!"

After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Can couldn't help but sigh, and Wang Jiajia's face was also full of sympathy.

Everywhere they walked was one of those very simple grass and rattan huts, low and small, and almost useless except to shade the sun.

Between these houses, as long as there are people, most of them are old people and children, their empty eyes occasionally glance back at Li Yang and them, and then they will turn away by themselves, and everyone who is seen by them can't help but tremble a little in their hearts.

It's a hopeless look, a look in which the soul seems to be dead.

"The main reason for the environment in the mining area is too poor, the miners here are not without money, the salaries of the mine workers to support their families are no problem, many people will leave after making money, mainly because of *** reasons, many things from the outside world can't be transported in at all!"

Sandara sighed too, and he didn't say anything about it, the cause of all this was actually themselves.

The mining areas of Myanmar are very strict, not only the government, but also the local armed forces, foreigners are not allowed to enter, and people who do not have permits are not allowed to come in.

Myanmar is a country with almost no taxes, and more than eighty percent of the financial support of the state finance and local armed forces rely on the jade mine here.

Every faction is very protective of this place, but no one of them has built it, not even the government.

There is only one potholed dirt road leading to the outside world, and there are checkpoints everywhere with government and local armed forces, and ordinary businessmen want to transport supplies from the outside to sell them inside, and they don't know how many layers of exploitation they have to go through.

Even if someone were able to successfully deliver something, the price would be so high that people here would not be able to afford it, and over time there would be no more merchants here, and it would gradually become a barren place with such a desperate lack of supplies
