Text Text_Chapter 552 First Coming to Gray Valley
In Li Nannan's impression, all "valleys" are not too spacious, and they are similar to "ditches".
If the valley between the two mountains on the girl's chest is too wide, how boring is it?
But when he came to Gray Valley, he realized that his concept was simply wrong.
Can this special thing be called a valley?
It should be called the plain!
From where David stopped, whether to the left or right, Li Nannan drove the Humvee and ran in a straight line at full speed, and it was estimated that he would have to run for at least half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains of stones everywhere, the largest is not inferior to the rockery, and the smallest is about the same as a football, and each stone is brushed with red paint.
There are only three settlement currencies for buying and selling rough stones in Gray Valley, one is the invincible US dollar, the other is the increasingly depressed euro, and the other is of course the Chinese currency that is in the limelight.
Relying on his good eyes, Li Nannan roughly swept the big stones around him, and found that the largest stones were not necessarily the most expensive, but those desktop-like rough stones, which were worth hundreds of thousands of Huaxia coins at every turn.
"Those big rough stones are basically just mined by the seller, and they have not been roughly cut. That is, they are not completely sure that there will be jadeite in the rough stone. To be transported here, it is recommended by professional miners. ”
Seeing that Li Nannan seemed to have mastered six of the seven tricks for these stones, the smart David immediately acted as a commentator, handed over a bottle of mineral water, and explained in detail.
Miners, that is, professionals who specialize in instructing mining workers in the mining area and how to mine stones, do not do the work, just hold a cigarette, go to the back of their hands, wander around the mining area, and find that there may be jadeite hidden in a certain place, they will draw a circle with chalk and let the miners mine according to the map.
But their salaries are quite high, and in the metropolises of developed countries, they can afford to live in villas, drive luxury cars, and afford beautiful women.
Whether the boss who sells stones can make a fortune depends on the miner's kung fu when he reaches home.
A good miner will not sign a long-term contract with a certain boss.
Once there is a sky-high glass jadeite in the rough stone he identified, then his value will immediately double, and many stone sellers will come to compete for him, this is the qualification.
In Gray Valley, in addition to miners, the most popular type of work is cutters.
A good cutter will not cut the jadeite contained inside, no matter what angle he uses to cut the rough stone.
Every stone seller will have an excellent cutter, who is responsible for carefully cutting the large pieces of rough that are transported to the realm of "revealing jade", and then stopping.
The so-called dew jade is a cut stone, and the color of jadeite will appear in the texture.
But continue to cut inward, will there really be the existence of jadeite, and what grade of jadeite, that is, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, it all depends on the luck of the gambler.
If you're lucky, after a knife goes down, you will cut out a sky-high jadeite.
Bad luck - forget it, the weather is so good today, and talking about those unpleasant things will inevitably be emotional.
In short, the best cutter can always do his best to expose the jade color of the rough stone, so that the rough will be more attractive and more expensive.
In addition to the popular miners and cutters, there are also carvers, porters and other types of work on this side of Gray Valley.
Porters are responsible for helping gamblers, carrying rough stones under the cutting machine, and cleaning up the garbage after the event, and their wages are only higher than those of the miners who have been contracted by the Kokang people.
As the name suggests, the carver is gambling on the stone after cutting out the jadeite, no matter what object they want to carve, they can use the computer to make a three-dimensional picture in the shortest possible time, and then use the fully automatic advanced engraving machinery, just like the sewing machine clothes, can quickly carve all kinds of things according to the customer's meaning.
These carvers are the group with the highest level of education in the Gray Valley, and they have to be able to design in 3D and play with computers, right?
However, in the group of carvers, there are also those who have higher salaries than miners, that is, carvers who carve objects by hand, basically old men in their sixties, holding hammers, chisels, wearing reading glasses, and carving little by little.
David said, "A lot of people believe that jade is spiritual. In the process of carving jade, the hand carver will pour his heart and soul into it. On the contrary, the objects carved by machines, no matter how beautiful they are, are cold and lifeless, and need to be cultivated. ”
"Therefore, good jade still needs to be polished by these old carvers. But it can last for more than ten days, or even months. According to legend, the wife of a political dignitary in Myanmar once opened a high-quality glass seed in Gray Valley and created a jade cabbage, which took two years. ”
David said, smiling seemingly casually: "Of course, the jade plate I gave to Boss Li is a handicraft from the machine." If I couldn't wait, I'd have found an old carver. ”
The jade plate given by David has been transferred by Li Nannan to Helan Xiaoxin.
So whether it's hand-carved or not, he doesn't really care.
"Boss Li, don't look at the placement of the stones here, it's very disorganized. There are so many gamblers, and they are all looking around. In fact, the closer these rough stones are to the valley mouth, the lower the probability of the appearance of the best jadeite. The highest percentage of winning is in the middle. ”
After listening to David's explanation, Li Nannan understood why the car did not stop after coming to the gray valley, but kept moving forward.
It turns out that these rough stones outside really can't enter Mr. David's eyes.
Drip, drip, drip.
Sitting in the back of the Hummer with David, with his arm on the window, Li Nannan, who poked his head out to look to the right, instinctively looked forward after hearing the driver's horn.
I saw two women holding arms in arms, accompanied by two dog-legged men, crossing the road, looking at the chatting elsewhere, after hearing the shrill horn sound, the woman wearing a black cool hat immediately annoyed, turned around and scolded: "Fako, what are you yelling about?" ”
Your sister, where don't you meet in life?
After seeing this woman, Li Nannan gave birth to this emotion for the second time in the same day.
This arrogant woman who thinks that she is accompanied by a local friend and has two security guards by her side can be like in China, is none other than Li Nannan is a poor and silky Lian Mei.
The security in Gray Valley is very good, and almost every few tens of meters, you can see a policeman.
After all, the daily transaction volume here is a large number that ordinary people can't imagine, and it is not false to say that it supports the local economy, and the Myanmar authorities, of course, have to send heavy troops to take charge of law and order here.
These police officers can form a great deterrent to ordinary trouble-making tourists, but for a master like David, who does not kill for three days and his hands will itch, he is purely deaf ears, and he is empty.
You blocked the boss's car, just honked the horn to let you get out, and it was already very good that you didn't hit it directly, and you dared to scold people, it's really boring!
Without any instructions from Boss David, the driver, whose face was cold, immediately covered his ear with his left hand and said something to the Bluetooth pager.
Immediately, the four black-suited bodyguards sitting in the back car immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, and rushed over at a complete trot, regardless of whether the other party was a man or a woman, and who was sacred, raised their hands and pumped them with their big mouths.
With a crisp bang, Sister Lian was pumped in a circle, her hat flew, her phone also fell, and she happened to fall on a stone, and the screen suddenly shattered.
When she turned around and scolded the grass and mud horses, Sister Liang had already seen what kind of car was urging them to leave.
Humvee, grass!
Although the Hummer is not a high-end car, no matter which sister you can afford, but the key is that this is in Myanmar, where the roads are narrow and motorcycles and tricycles are the main means of transportation.
Sister Liang dared to swear that in the entire territory of Myanmar, there would be no more than 30 Humvees.
Now two of them have appeared in Gray Valley, and a fool can know that those who come are either rich or expensive, but they are not something that a small tyrant like her can afford to provoke.
On the contrary, Sister Lian from Huaxia doesn't care if the Hummer is not a Humvee, there are more on the Jinmen side, so of course she doesn't think too much about the car, but she is just annoyed that she was taken aback, and she instinctively blurted out and scolded.
Even Sister Liang didn't have time to stop her when she was scolding.
Seeing that four black suits immediately pounced, and after slapping Sister Lian in a circle, not only did she not feel that there was anything wrong, but she felt that it was normal - hurry up and apologize, I really can't afford to provoke it.
What makes Sister Liang want to scold her mother is that Sister Lian, who is used to being self-centered, after being slapped wildly, the Venus that appeared in front of her did not interfere with her anger, and she screamed: "Grass mud horse, you dare to hit me!" You know who I am—"
Before she finished speaking, Sister Lian's face, which was flushed with anger, was as pale as paper.
The cold barrel against the door of the head always has the excellent effect of making people calm down quickly.
Not only her, but even Sister Liang and the two company security guards who came with her were each hit by a pistol.
All the people who noticed this side could see from the cold eyes of the four black suits that if Sister Lian dared to resist, there would be a picture of brains bursting immediately.
The policemen who maintain law and order also saw this scene.
But no one came, and they hid as far as they could.
There is no way, every year there are always a few people who are repeatedly instructed by the police boss not to provoke the big people to come, and the owners of these two Humvees with special license plates are one of them.
Some women, always after being held to the head at gunpoint, will realize that she is not too awesome, and the really awesome people want to kill her in public. Don't bother too much.
There is no doubt that Sister Lian is such a person, when she faced the indecent assault of the American detectives, she was so resolute in resisting, but now she didn't even dare to put a fart, but her teeth chattered, and her eyes were full of pleading fear.
Just when she thought she would hear a banging gunfire the next moment, she heard a lazy voice coming from the Humvee: "Forget it." ”
Holding a gun to the black suit on her head, when she looked back, she heard the boss shouting angrily: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Li was saying?" ”
"Yes."
The black suit was so frightened that he shuddered, hurriedly pistoled, walked quickly to the front of the car, bent down to apologize to Li Nannan, and begged for forgiveness in a low voice.
Seeing with her own eyes the black suit that was still fierce just now, and in the blink of an eye, she became a pug wagging her tail and begging for mercy, Sister Lian looked over slowly, and after seeing Li Nannan, the corners of her mouth jumped suddenly.
