Chapter 126: Crisis Comes
Inside Wang Meng's room.
Listening to the recording of the mobile phone, Wang Meng's face changed slightly. Strictly speaking, he didn't know Burmese either, but he could barely understand a few words, two of which gave him bad associations.
"Lao Li's Burmese is not good either, well, in this way, Ao Tang, didn't you just get a Burmese card, give me the mobile phone."
Wang Meng took the mobile phone and dialed the mobile phone of Mr. Chen of Cuilangji Myanmar Branch, while explaining to Ao Tang: "Chen Xin, the person in charge of Myanmar, is Mi Lu's brother-in-law, and there are people who understand Burmese over there. ”
Mi Lu's mother's surname is Chen. Like Mi Lu's father and Mi Lu's mother's era, it was about the power of many people and the glory of many lives, so there were basically many brothers and sisters. Cuilangyu, the ancestral jade line of three generations, although it is now in the hands of Mi Lu's mother, and more than half of the shares are also in the hands of Mi Lu's mother, but speaking of which, after all, it is the Chen family's industry, not the Mi family. The other brothers and sisters of the Chen family, because of their average talents, only received some share dividends in it, but this Chen Xin, who is quite capable, is in charge of the most important raw material procurement and collection.
"Mr. Chen, I'm Wang Meng, disturbing your sleep...... I'll put the recording on ......"
Wang Meng shouted Lao Mi, that is the friendship accumulated in the era of soldiers, so there is no need to care about identity and position, but for others, it is still in line with the rules of the company's middle-level managers to senior managers.
Chen Xin's company in Wacheng hired local Burmese people, and soon found someone to listen and translate.
There are three recordings in total, the first of which is Lao Wu's small talk to a friend, and there is no problem; In the second paragraph, Lao Wu asked about renting a house in Naypyidaw, the border checkpoint is so far away from the capital Naypyidaw, Lao Wu went to rent a house there, do you want to quit your job? Apparently there is a problem.
And the third paragraph finally made Wang Meng, Chen Xin and others nervous...... From that recording, coupled with Chen Xin's explanation, as well as recent intelligence in Myanmar, a conspiracy was gradually deduced.
The political situation in Myanmar is changing, and a change in the political situation of a country will inevitably bring about policy changes, which will have an impact on all aspects, including one related to the jadeite industry.
Myanmar's Ministry of Industry plans to close jadeite mines in northern Myanmar!
Myanmar is the world's most important - and even in a sense, can be described as "unique" - jadeite origin, and its origin is mainly concentrated in northern Myanmar a 250 kilometers long, about 60 kilometers wide, an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers of irregular ore belt, where there are eight major mines such as Longken, Hpakant, and Xiangdong.
And this time, under the pretext of "resource depletion", Myanmar's Ministry of Industry plans to close a number of large mines led by Hpakant, once this plan is passed, it means that more than 50% of the jadeite raw materials will be cut off, and even 50% is just underestimated. And according to insiders, it is likely that this plan will really be adopted and implemented around June next year (2012)!
This will undoubtedly have a fatal impact on the jadeite industry and jadeite merchants large and small, so the merchants have joined forces to try to put pressure on the Burmese government, and at the same time they have begun to take precautions, and in case the pressure fails, they must also prepare contingency plans.
Under the premise that more than half of the world's main (only) raw material market has been cut at once, the competition for the remaining share has immediately become fierce. Emerald is money, the more you have, the less I have, for the sake of profit, the previous mild business methods began to change, and even some merchants used force to compete for the mine.
And this sudden change also affected Cui Langji. The reason why Wang Meng led the elite security guards to Myanmar was to strengthen the security of the Myanmar branch. And because of another incident, the impact of this time has become particularly huge.
Wang Meng turned his head sideways and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, a new vein has been discovered......
This important news, except for the prospecting team of the branch, was originally only reported at the top level, and Wang Meng, the deputy minister of security, was only considered a middle-level and did not have the qualifications to know. But when he went to Myanmar to coordinate and command the company's security forces, armed battles may break out, and he became a front-line military commander, and his authority was naturally promoted.
Mi Lu didn't know about this yet, but she was qualified to know, because she was the main heir of the company's largest shareholder, and Mi Lu's mother asked Mi Lu to come this time, which also gave her a comprehensive understanding of the company's situation. Ao Tang had already slept in the same room with Mi Lu, so Wang Meng also informed the news.
Ao Tang's eyes contracted, and he discovered a new jadeite vein, even if the reserves are not large, as long as it can be monopolized, it can still bring incalculable benefits, especially when there are major changes in Myanmar's jadeite policy. And once a prospecting team of a private company like this finds a mine, it can, of course, hide it and mine it quietly, trying not to let the local government know about it.
"Someone on the prospecting team leaked?"
"Hmm. Mixed in with an internal annihilation, fuck, Lao Tzu has been telling them that they want military management, political trial, and military law to govern the company, but no one is me. Wang Meng complained a few words, and said: "Internal annihilation is related to a small local warlord, said to be a warlord, in fact, it is just a gun, I think it is similar to the big gangsters in Hong Kong police movies, and the security department of the branch can also withstand it, plus a small team of elite soldiers I brought, it is enough to fight back." ”
The petty warlords don't want to make a fuss about it, and once it is exposed and exposed, the new vein will naturally be nationalized. So after several failed attempts, they hit the idea on the important people of Cui Langyu, kidnapping hostages and blackmailing negotiations, and the appearance of Mi Lu was an excellent opportunity for them. Under normal circumstances, the old Wu at the Burmese border checkpoint would not betray them, but that was just because the benefits were not big enough, and when the benefits were too big to measure, some people would risk their lives.
Ao Tang couldn't help frowning, it's going to be a shootout? He wasn't afraid, he just said, "Uncle Wang, you have command experience, just treat me as a small soldier, although it has been arranged." ”
Wang Meng smiled confidently: "My people are enough to solve the problem, you go and shout Milu." He also called other security guards, and the driver was also a retired car soldier, and he could still hold a gun, "On the hundreds of miles from here to Wacheng, they will definitely set up an ambush." Lao Zhang, Lao Liu, Lao Sun, a group of you, go to the Burmese border checkpoint, chop up the one surnamed Wu, and if the other Burmese at the border checkpoint don't look long, dispose of them all, and bring their guns by the way. ”
Lao Zhang and the three grinned, although they didn't have guns in their hands for the time being, they were all elite soldiers, and they didn't feel embarrassed, so they went out immediately.
"Lao Xia, Lao Li, Xiao Deng, you are a group, Lao Li drives back to our border checkpoint, and let Lao Zhou support a batch of weapons, the more the merrier, but don't make him embarrassed."
In Wang Meng's heart, he had no intention of temporarily returning to the country, as long as he got the weapons, the seven of them - except Mi Lu and Ao Tang - were all elite soldiers, and the rain of bullets and bullets would go straight over. As for the bullet not having long eyes, will Milu be dangerous? Lao Mi's daughter can't be a flower in a greenhouse!
However, as a subordinate, you have to inform Lao Mi, and immediately a phone call back, and soon Mi Tiejun's response came: "Kill them all." But he didn't mention his daughter's safety, Mi Tiejun had confidence in his daughter, and he also recognized Ao Tang's ability, and knew that Mi Lu could only lure the enemy and completely annihilate him if he stayed there.
Mi Tiejun put down the phone, but he was not ready to tell his wife at all, soldiers and businessmen look at the battle from completely different angles, and they can't let their wives worry about their baby daughter.
"What's wrong? Why do you have to run out when you answer a phone call? ”
"Hey, it's something going on in the army, it's nothing, keep sleeping."
It was already late at night, and Mi Tiejun fell asleep after a while, but in another place, there were people who were still talking about this Mi commander in the middle of the night.
The Southwest Military Region is one of the seven major military regions in China and is headquartered in Shucheng. Compared with the commander of the Chuncheng Garrison District and the Mi Tie Army, the Southwest Military Region is the real behemoth, and the current commander was promoted to general last year, and you must know that since the implementation of the military rank system in 55 years, all the generals before and after have added up to less than two hundred, and the current active generals are only twenty or thirty, which can be said to be the real military bosses. is under his command, and it is also a star-studded gathering, for example, at this moment, among the two people who are talking secretly, there is a major general.
And the other person is Sun Tianhe.
Major General Sun Weiguo, although he and Sun Tianhe are related, strictly speaking, they have already come out of Wufu, and they usually don't have much contact except for going home to the grave to worship their ancestors. In fact, Sun Tianhe wants to come and go, but Sun Weiguo doesn't look down on a fishmonger, even if Sun Tianhe can earn tens of millions every year, much more than Sun Weiguo's legitimate income, but Sun Weiguo has an unlimited future, and there is nothing to covet if he earns one million a year.
But if it's not a million a year, it's a million a year! What about hundreds of millions of dollars a year? According to Sun Tianhe, as long as the scale of breeding is expanded, it is completely possible. The balance in Sun Weiguo's heart suddenly tilted, if he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year, even if his career is broken, what does it matter?
"Got it all figured out?"
"Yes, Brother Wei Guo, don't tell lies in front of your own people."
Sun Tianhe did find out, he found the former owner of the Longya Bay Reservoir on the evening of the 31st, Chi Danan, and after a meal of nonsense, he found out the bottom of the Ao soup.
"There's a lot of business around the country? Business! Chi Danan was half drunk, and scolded with a big tongue: "The surname Ao was a poor student a year ago, but he just hooked up with Mi Tiejun's daughter, hum, I ate soft rice." ”
"Ao Tang is just a kid with no roots, as long as the small hill of Mi Tiejun is removed, then there is no longer anything to rely on, let us slaughter it. Brother Wei Guo, although Mi Tiejun is a figure in Spring City, but in your place, it is not a small dirt mountain that can be flattened with a push? ”
Sun Weiguo snorted, he knew better who Mi Tiejun was, and he also knew that Mi Tiejun was appreciated by another big man above, and sooner or later he would be able to hang a general star. However, although the country is a one-party system, there have always been factions in the party, and the same is true in the army, and the big man who values the Mi Tie Army has some problems with General Lin of the Southwest Military Region, and the Mi Tie Army had the opportunity to be promoted to major general last year, and Leng was suppressed by General Lin.
Of course, if you say that you don't deal with it, you are not a mortal enemy after all, and you can tolerate it once in a while, and if you suppress it repeatedly, it will attract the retaliation of the other party's bosses, and once the struggle escalates, neither side will benefit.
A smile appeared on Sun Weiguo's face, he was General Lin's confidant, and he was aware of his intentions, so he naturally would not suppress the Mi Tie Army, it was just a strategy.
"In this way, I will look for an appropriate opportunity and suggest that Admiral Lin do a favor with the promotion of the Mi Tiejun."
Since you can't suppress it, it's better to be promoted. The bigwigs of the two factions contributed at the same time, and Mi Tiejun didn't have to wait another year or two, maybe he would soon be able to get the opportunity to go to the National Defense University for further study, and when he came out of the National Defense University, he would naturally be promoted to one level, and he would not be able to return to the Chuncheng Garrison District.
In this way, it not only allowed Admiral Lin to ease the relationship with the other party's boss, but also removed the protective umbrella on Ao Tang's head, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
