Mandalay, also known as Wa City, is the second largest city in Myanmar, due to geographical relations, it has become a distribution center for Myanmar jadeite trade, gem-quality jadeite is only produced in Myanmar, and concentrated in northern Myanmar, due to years of disorderly mining, the pit has long been unrecognizable. Large and small mine mouths are scattered all over the place.

Most of the jadeite miners are Burmese Chinese or ethnic Chinese. It is not easy to obtain mining rights, you need to have a strong economic strength, after applying for the political axe to designate the mining area, the political axe according to the location, size of the area to charge a certain commission every year, and the quarried jade according to the quality and quantity of the declaration to the competent authority for valuation, according to the valuation to the political axe according to the proportion of tax before legal transactions.

Although Ma Youcai's Hongxianglou is strong, it entered the industry relatively late, and the good mines are occupied, and no one will give up easily. Therefore, the jadeite produced in the pit in his hand is rarely of high-grade materials. Although he can also make money, for Ma Youcai, this is not in line with his original intention of Hongxianglou. So he has been looking for mines that can produce high-grade jadeite.

He had already made up his mind to take the mine that appeared this time, but the price was not small, and according to the survey estimate, the reserves of this mine mouth were not large, so he was a little hesitant.

After the public disk discovered Xu Tao's amazing gambling ability, Ma Youcai wanted him to help him evaluate the ore vein, in fact, Ma Youcai did this just to find a reason for his decision.

When the car arrived in Mandalay, it was not early, Ma Youcai had already arranged a hotel for them, entertained everyone for dinner, and sent them to the hotel.

It is said to be the second largest city, but Mandalay feels a bit shabby, and the streets look like the towns and villages of the country. But even so, everyone didn't want to stay in the hotel, so they wanted to go out and find the jade market.

Especially Gu Shi, he was originally in the antique jade business, and when he came to this kind of place, he always subconsciously wanted to go to Taobao to pick up leaks.

Xu Tao also wanted to go out for a walk, not for jade, but to see who followed him all the way, and actually followed him all the way from Yangon to here.

These people's tracking methods are not clever, before they left Yangon, Xiao Chen and Xiao Huang discovered them, not to mention Xu Tao, as early as in the bar of the hotel in Yangon, Xu Tao put a mark on one of the guys who seemed to be the leader in the group.

Along the way, the men followed, but they didn't do anything. In Xu Tao's mind, most of these people are related to Luo Feng, after all, he has no other enemies in Myanmar, and these people obviously have bad intentions.

But looking at their appearance, it seems that they don't dare to do it easily, but Xu Tao is a little impatient, and after thinking about it, he decided to create a little opportunity for them, thinking that they don't dare to do it in the hotel, so it's better to go out for a walk.

So, except for Jin Xin and Zhao Xinyun, a group of people left the hotel. Originally, Zhao Xinyun wanted Xiao Chen and Xiao Huang to follow, but Xu Tao intended to give those guys a chance, so he simply refused.

The jade market is easy to find, and you can find it just by asking. However, when they got there, they were a little disappointed. The whole market looks quite dilapidated, much like the domestic vegetable market, there are a lot of stalls, but most of them sell cheap goods, and the processed products are mainly bracelets. Most of the prices are only a few tens to a few hundred yuan.

This made Gu Shi a little disappointed, he came here mainly to see if there were any good carvings, and there was not much sales for bracelets in his shop. However, here, in addition to the bracelet this kind of jade with low processing requirements, I am afraid that I can not find any good carvings, although Myanmar produces jadeite, but the level of carving is not high.

Of course, there are also wool sellers here, but everyone has just experienced the public market, and the wool here is obviously a little unsightly, not to mention anything else, just that head, and the public market is more than one grade worse. Xu Tao didn't say anything, and the others naturally didn't go to gamble on the stone by themselves.

Of course, it is not for nothing that there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but after seeing Xu Tao open the sky-high prices of those superb jadeites that are sought after, it is really difficult for these things to impress everyone.

After shopping for a long time, only Gu Shi received some small carvings, although they are not high-quality products, they are cheap, and this kind of thing sells quickly in his store.

Xu Tao walked around, didn't find anything good, and couldn't help but smile and said to Zhao Xinling: "No wonder your sister doesn't want to come over, I think she already knows the situation here!" ”

Zhao Xinling said: "You don't know that my sister is not in good health, she has been soaking in the public plate for the past few days, and he is tired enough, what if she gets sick?" ”

Xu Tao said: "Didn't you bring medicine here?" Besides, since I've taken care of her, can I still put her in danger? ”

Xu Tao prescribed medicine to both of them, because they were afraid that it would be inconvenient to decoct the medicine in Myanmar, so the sisters asked the pharmacy to decoct the amount for a few days before departure, and sealed it with a plastic bag to bring it to Myanmar, so although they were in Myanmar these days, the medicine has not been broken.

Hearing Xu Tao say this, Zhao Xinling said with a smile: "I insist on taking medicine every day, speaking of which, you are the great benefactor of our sisters, even this gambling stone, if it weren't for you, it would be impossible for our Lingyun Jewelry to receive so many high-quality raw materials at such a price." ”

Xu Tao waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, since you have cooperated with me, I, Xu Tao, will naturally not let my partners suffer!" ”

Zhao Xinling said: "My sister didn't come to Mandalay to see the jade market, but many jade mining companies are in Mandalay, and they should have high-end materials in their hands, and my sister means to find a long-term supplier, after all, although high-grade jadeite is good, the mainstream of sales in the store is still mid-range jade." ”

Out of the jade market, everyone walked around casually, Xu Tao didn't expect that those guys who followed him didn't make a move, and he couldn't figure out their way for a while.

Back at the hotel, it was already dark, and everyone went back to their rooms. Xu Tao returned to the room, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, it seemed that he might have expected it wrong, those who followed him may not be Luo Feng's people, maybe their target was just their own few pieces of superb jade.

I put a few pieces of superb jadeite into a bag on the public plate and carried it away, which is what many people have seen. And now, the bag that was in his room is gone.

Of course, those few pieces of superb jadeite are now lying in Xu Tao's ring, and no one will be able to take them. However, it was not the best jade that was taken away, and Xu Tao did not plan to let go of these people, and those who dared to attack themselves naturally would not have good fruits to eat.

Xu Tao thought about his body for a moment, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Xu Tao really guessed wrong this time, this guy who followed him from Yangon to Mandalay was really not Luo Feng's person. It's just weird, Xu Tao is too popular in the public market. And he also carried a few pieces of superb jadeite with him. It's understandable to be targeted.

The leader of this group is a Chinese named Ah Liang.

Ah Liang was originally working at the mouth of the mine, and while this guy was working, he quietly stole some wool and sold it for money. I have also accumulated some money in the past two years.

Ah Liang also understood that this kind of sneaky thing would continue to be done, and if he was discovered one day, he would definitely not have a way to live, so Ah Liang simply quit his job.

After being in contact with the jade business for a while, Ah Liang has of course heard a lot of stories of getting rich overnight, and he has no other skills, so he started the idea of the public market, and this time he took out his savings and gambled on the public market.

But as expected, Ah Liang lost all his money in his first big gamble.

However, Ah Liang didn't feel that his vision was not good, and he attributed his failure to Xu Tao. In the first round of the Ming market, Ah Liang once took a fancy to a stone and voted for the bid, and once took the lead, but unfortunately at the last moment Xu Tao suddenly overtook and won the bid.

Speaking of which, although Xu Tao won the bid suddenly, it was also in line with the rules of the public market, which was beyond reproach, but Ah Liang didn't think so, you know, Xu Tao later took this stone at a price of 230,000 euros, and solved a piece of ice seed yang green jade, which was bought on the spot at a price of 2.6 million euros.

In Ah Liang's view, the two million euros should have been his own. But it was snatched by Xu Tao. Because he didn't win the bid, he put his money on another rough stone in the second round, and the gamble collapsed. Now his savings have become a piece of jadeite worth no more than 30,000 euros.

From 2.16 million to 30,000, this made Ah Liang's heart extremely unbalanced. Naturally, I hated Xu Tao.

As a result, he saw Xu Tao put a few pieces of superb jadeite into a bag and took them away, and Ah Liang naturally moved his mind.

So Ah Liang took a few brothers who had stolen rough stones from the mine with him before, and set an eye on Xu Tao.

Originally, in Yangon, they were going to do it. However, the hotel in Yangon was officially designated by the public market, and the security was too tight, so they didn't dare to do it.

followed all the way to Mandalay, on the way, Ah Liang considered that Xu Tao and there were many of them, and there were obviously people similar to bodyguards in the team, so he still didn't dare to make a move. You must know that not only Zhao Xinyun brought Xiao Chen and Xiao Huang. Ma Youcai also brought bodyguards.

It wasn't until Xu Tao and the others left the hotel to go out to visit the jade market that Ah Liang and the others finally found an opportunity, ran into the hotel and slid the door to pick the lock, and finally stole Xu Tao's bag containing gems.

After succeeding, Aliang did not dare to stay in Mandalay and fled to Myitkyina overnight with his accomplices.

Out of the city, everyone was in the excitement, just now afraid of accidents, they took the bag and ran, at this time they felt that they had fled, everyone naturally wanted to open to see the baby. Although everyone had seen Xu Tao stuff a few pieces of superb jadeite into his bag before, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, everyone couldn't rest assured.

But after a long time, Ah Liang couldn't open the ordinary travel bag, as if the zipper was broken. In a hurry, Alianso took out a knife and slashed it at the bag, but it still didn't cut it. Ah Liang and his gang couldn't help but look at each other, could this bag be a treasure, and they couldn't even cut it with a knife.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, they suddenly heard a sneer in their ears.
