Chapter 172: Affectionate is always hurt mercilessly

Lin Shitu personally accompanied Zhou Xuan and a few people to Tengchong's places of interest, but most of them are ancient silk towns, and after three or four days of playing, at Lin Shitu's home, Zhou Xuancai asked Lin Shitu about the situation in Myanmar.

"Boss Lin, you are in the wool business, and you are the largest jewelry wholesaler here in Tengchong, you should know the situation in Myanmar very well, right? Hehe, I'd like to go and see! ”

Lin Shitu pondered for a while and said: "I am more familiar with Myanmar, only Menggong and Myitkyina produce jadeite, only one hundred and fifty kilometers away from our Tengchong and Ruili, and because jadeite is only liked by the Chinese, so Tengchong and Ruili have become the largest sales center of Burmese jade!" ”

"In fact, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Menggong and Myitkyina still belonged to the jurisdiction of our Baoshan City, at that time Baoshan was called Yongchang Mansion, since then, jadeite through Tengchong, Ruili into our country, has a history of four or five hundred years, there has been a record of saying, 'Teng is the number of extracts, the jade work is full of thousands, made into utensils, sold in various provinces of Yunnan.' High-grade jade, mostly sent to eastern Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Yunnan border areas to operate jade industry for a long time, hundreds of years to form a unique jade reputation. ”

Lin Shitu said while brewing tea: "At that time, on the official road from Myanmar to Yunnan, there were often seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands of horses transporting jadeite and jade and other materials. Merchants from all walks of life, in order to be the first to get jadeite and jade, have come with huge sums of money. For this reason, there was: 'The former prosperous Baibao Street, My grandfather's uncle is a Chinese who settled in Myanmar, specializing in the jade business, to his grandson's generation, that is, my cousin still has two big mines in Myitkyina, my goods are from there, of course, there are other mines to ship, after all, Tengchong is the largest factory of me and the Golden Fatty, especially after the Golden Fat was seized, my incoming volume has been larger these days! ”

When Lin Shitu said about the golden fat man, his eyes glanced at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan just smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

Lin Shitu said: "Before the liberation, our Tengchong and Ruili were the largest distribution centers of jadeite, but after the liberation, due to the closure of the country, the jade business declined sharply, and our family's contact with my cousin was also broken, and the Burmese jade merchants had to go far and far, and transported the woolen jade to Chiang Mai, Thailand, thousands of miles away, and traded with Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japanese merchants. The domestic jade industry has resumed trade and processing production, and in the past ten years, it has regained the title of the largest jade trading market in the world. ”

Zhao Lao Er is not interested in drinking tea, but in the past few days, he has been delving into the study of jade and jade, what Lin Shitu said, if it was before, he would have listened to it without knowing what he was talking about, and he would not have listened to it, but now the more he listened, the more energetic he became, and asked: "Boss Lin, we have applied for passports, can we go over Myanmar and take a look?" ”

"Hehe, it's easy to get through Myanmar, I'm familiar with that side, and I've traded a lot with my cousin in the past ten years, and I've been diligent in coming, and it's no problem in the past, but it's ......"

Lin Shitu groaned, "It's okay if you just go to visit and play, but if you want to go to gamble on stones or want to trade directly with the mine owners, it's difficult!" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly: "What do you say?" ”

"The mining sites in Myanmar are all primeval forests with difficult conditions, from the mines, many places are not open to traffic, there are no roads, jade mines are mined by manual or horses, elephants, etc., and the national situation in Myanmar is unstable, in addition to the government army, there are also troops belonging to various parties and ethnic forces, each of them is in a position, each holding a piece of territory, like us foreigners to pass through these places, there are many dangers!"

Lin Shitu sighed and said, "And the Myanmar government also stipulates that the mined ore must be auctioned by the government, and the profits are shared between the mine owner and the government, but there is still a part of the ore smuggled out, and most of it flows to Tengchong and Ruili, half of my ore wool is auctioned back from Myanmar, and half is smuggled out, of course, the smuggled ore is much cheaper." ”

Zhou Xuan only then understood the situation in Myanmar, and thought that it would not work to cooperate with the mine owners, one is the regulations over there, and the other is that the national conditions are unstable, personal safety is not guaranteed, there is no need to take risks in the past, and it is not that there is a shortage of money, and if you want to gamble on stones, it would be good to come to Lin Shitu here for a month or two.

"Since that's the case, then forget it, I'll see how to prepare, and I'll leave for tomorrow and go back!" Zhou Xuan turned his head and said to Zhao Laoer.

Lin Shitu said with a smile: "I see ...... It's better to play for a few more days, and I'm not in a hurry, I want to talk to Mr. Zhou more about jade experience, I've seen many people who don't have your luck, hehe, if it's all on luck, I don't believe it, in the end, it's actually eyesight, experience and technology! ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said nothing, but Zhao Lao Er said unashamedly: "That's right, our Boss Zhou is a master, I, Zhao Lao Er, have practiced with him for a day or two, and Tengchong will pick a stone and sell it for more than 20 million!" ”

Lin Shitu looked at Zhao Lao Er and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is good at kung fu!" ”

"Kung fu, in fact, it's only a little bit of a star, my old Zhao, the most important thing is luck!" Zhao Lao Er smiled and said, "Boss Lin, tell me how to identify jadeite?" ”

Lin Shitu looked at Zhou Xuan and said with a smile: "You Boss Zhou is a master, if you want me to say, that is the class to get an axe, hehe!" ”

"Boss Lin is too humble!" Zhou Xuan said lightly, "I actually know a little bit about it, there are many people who still learn from Boss Lin's father, anyway, if I have time, Boss Lin will explain and explain, let me and my brother learn more!" ”

Lin Shitu also felt that Zhou Xuan was more peculiar, sometimes he felt unfathomable, and sometimes he was like a child, but in general, he still felt that he was a straightforward and trustworthy person.

"Hehe, since Boss Zhou said so, then I'll talk about it casually!" Lin Shitu no longer shirked, and said generously, "I am also ugly, jadeite, the first factor in evaluating jadeite is color, in the jade world, there are four points for the color of the best jadeite, positive, thick, yang, all!" ”

Seeing Lin Shitu explaining, Zhao Lao Er hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and said, "Boss Lin, take a sip of tea and then continue!" ”

"Thank you!" Lin Shitu took the tea, took a sip gently, and then said slowly, "This is the definition of the color of jadeite, which refers to the range of hues, according to the ratio of the main color and the secondary color, that is, to be pure green, do not mix with other colors, if mixed with other colors, the value will drop greatly, the second point, the intensity refers to the depth of the color, as far as the emerald green is concerned, the concentration is best between 70% and 80%, and 90% is already too strong!" ”

"The third point is that yang refers to the brightness of the jadeite color, and the brightness of jadeite is mainly determined by the proportion of green and black or gray in jadeite. The green proportion will be bright, if there is more black or gray, the color will be gray, connoisseurs often take the image method to represent the color of the fresh yang, such as the general boxwood green, parrot green, onion heart green, pepper green, all refer to the color of the fresh yang. The spinach green, oil green, river green, black green, refers to the dull dark green, the more fresh the jade, the higher the natural value. ”

Lin Shitu saw that Zhou Xuan and Zhao Lao Er were both able to listen and speak energetically, so he took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "The last one refers to the uniformity of the color distribution of jadeite. The color distribution of jadeite is generally uneven, and it is not easy to get jadeite with uniform color distribution. If you say a top jadeite, the green should be pure, the green concentration is between 70% and 80%, the sun is bright, and the color distribution is also uniform, and jadeite like this is the real old pit species! ”

Zhao Lao Er is a real rookie, I don't understand, but Zhou Xuan understands that Lin Shitu is a real expert, and what he says is much more useful than what he said by copying books and deaths!

It's really better to listen to Lin Shitu and old experience experts like his father when it's okay to go out for a walk, learn experience and technology, and combine it with the results of ice gas detection, you should get started quickly, at least the scene is reasonable, and it won't let others doubt it.

Zhou Xuan was about to ask Lin Shitu to talk more, but saw Zheng Bing hurriedly walking in from outside the hall, holding a mobile phone, and whispering to him: "Mr. Zhou, the call from Beijing said that there was an emergency!" ”

Zhou Xuanyi was stunned, Beijing's call, what is the urgency? I knew that I didn't have a mobile phone and couldn't be contacted, if the people at home wanted him, they would definitely find Wei Haihong, and then Wei Haihong found Li Lei again, and he called him around.

Quickly answered the phone, and the voice of her sister Zhou Ying came from the phone, a little anxious and a little flustered: "Brother, is it you?" ”

"It's me, what's the matter, you say it slowly, don't worry!" Zhou Xuan said in a deep voice.

Zhou Ying's voice hesitated suddenly: "Brother, come back quickly, anyway, there is an emergency, you are coming back soon, something happened!" ”

Zhou Xuanxuan said: "What's the matter, what do you say, what are you hesitating about?" Hurry up! ”

Zhou Ying paused for a moment, and then said, "Brother, let's talk about it when you come back, you just come back quickly!" ”

Zhou Xuan was so angry that he shouted: "You are at Brother Hong's house, give the phone to Brother Hong!" ”

Zhou Xuan really expected it right, Zhou Ying really gave the phone to Wei Haihong.

But before Zhou Xuan could speak, Wei Haihong's voice came: "Brother, I know what you have to say, this...... I can't say, it's better for you to come back by yourself! ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Zhou Xuan was angry and thought that he was about to call back, but he thought of what Wei Haihong's character didn't want to say, and it was useless to ask again, so he immediately said to Zhao Lao Er and Lin Shitu: "Boss Lin, the second child, I have something urgent to rush back to Beijing, so I will trouble Boss Lin to help help, adjust the car, and the second child will escort the car and return the freight to Beijing, and ...... the other."

Zhou Xuan looked at Zheng Bing again and said: "Company Commander Zheng, the second child is a new hand, I don't worry about one person, if it is convenient for you, arrange for two people to follow, if you can, Zhang Shan and Wu Feng are two brothers, this is ......"

Zheng Bing didn't think about it, and agreed to come down: "No problem, Zhang Shan Wufeng stayed and went back to Beijing with Zhao Laosheng, and Jiang Jin and I will take a plane back with you!" ”

Zhou Xuan was in a hurry, didn't think much about it, said goodbye to Lin Shitu, and then hurriedly asked Jiang Jin to drive to Baoshan Airport.

With Zheng Bing's relationship, Zhou Xuan didn't worry about the ticket at all, but he had to wait for the time, the plane flight was at 6:15 in the evening, and he waited in the airport waiting hall for about an hour.

Zhou Xuan's heart was frizzy, and he didn't know what was going on at home, but listening to Zhou Ying and Wei Haihong's tone, there must be something, but it shouldn't be a dangerous thing for the family, you can hear it from the tone of their voices, and Wei Haihong knows, he knows, if the family is in danger, how can he stand idly by?

Although he wasn't worried, Zhou Xuan just felt that he had a very unsteady feeling in his heart, and he couldn't say anything, but this was the feeling!

After getting off the plane at Beijing International Airport, Zhou Xuan didn't stop for half a minute, he really took out of the airport building and stopped a taxi and went home, Zheng Bing and Jiang Jin sent him to Villa No. 8 in Hongcheng Garden, and then said goodbye to Li Lei.

Zhou Xuan was anxious, and he didn't greet them, anyway, he would have the opportunity to invite them to dinner again in the future, but now he was really in no mood.

Hurriedly entered the door and walked into the hall, the old lady Jin Xiumei and Sister-in-law Liu were sitting in the living room, as soon as they saw Zhou Xuan enter the house, Jin Xiumei got up and grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand and cried: "Son, the daughter-in-law is gone, the daughter-in-law is gone!" ”

Zhou Xuan didn't think of anything but Fu Ying's head, and when he heard Jin Xiumei's words, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain, and asked in fear and surprise: "Mom, you speak slowly, tell me clearly, what's going on!" ”

Jin Xiumei wiped her tears, took out a letter from her pocket, handed it to Zhou Xuan, and said in a choked voice: "My daughter-in-law was fine yesterday, but this morning we had a guest at home, who was quite young and handsome, and was looking for a daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law whispered a few words to him, and then went back to the room and wrote this letter to me, asking me to hand it over to you, and said that I would not ...... Don't think about her anymore, find a good girl to live a good life, son, what's the matter! ”

Zhou Xuan suddenly hit his chest like a hammer, and sat down on the sofa with his chest covered, his heart was painful and wrenched, and it took a while to recover, and he trembled and tore open the envelope in his hand, and there was only a piece of paper inside.

Zhou Xuan took a few breaths before opening the letter with trembling hands, and there were only six words on the letter: "Zhou Xuan, forget me!" ”

Zhou Xuan was stunned, but tears involuntarily slipped down, dripping onto the letterhead, and a few words were also soaked and blurred!
