Text Text_Chapter 511 The Golden Triangle Trading Conference
After determining that Helan Xiaoxin was a big drug lord, Li Nannan guessed that she had a lot of power here.
But she didn't expect that her power would be so big, and she would be the largest force among the four major regions of the Golden Triangle.
The narcotics base in the Golden Triangle region is divided into four regions, east, west, south, and north, of which the southern region is the largest, with a poppy cultivation base of more than 6,000 mu.
It is followed by the western district, with more than 4,000 acres, and the eastern district, with about 2,000 acres of land, and the northern district, which is closest to the border with China, is the smallest, with only more than 800 acres of land, and it is also controlled by the partnership of three small drug lords.
The southern region, which is closer to the equator at latitude and has more sunshine hours, has a longer poppy growing period and is of better quality, and half of the drugs exported from the Golden Triangle are provided by the southern region, and the price is the highest.
The opium poppy is an annual herb that is sown in March and April and blooms in July, at which point the juice can be taken from the ovary, and the seeds will mature in late August, and will be harvested and left for planting the following year.
When the flowers bloom in July, locally recruited planters cut poison on the ovary with knives under the supervision of armed guards, and then go through processes such as screening and sun exposure, which takes about two months.
It was already October when a large number of semi-finished products were refined into finished products that could be put on the market through the current more advanced and professional purification instruments.
It is said that it is already October, and the poppy harvesting season has long passed, but Li Nannan saw a large area of poppies in full bloom under the window last night, and he was so shocked that he couldn't do it, so he didn't think about this season, there should be no poppies growing.
After he woke up on the rattan chair this morning, touching the fine pinch marks on his neck, and staring at the blue sky in a daze, Helan Xiaoxin told him that this poppy field is the only treasure land in the entire Golden Triangle region, and it grows twice a year.
This treasure land, located in the valley, is like a greenhouse in the vegetable area of the interior.
What is surprising is that the poppy ripening in this season still retains its original flavor, unlike the out-of-season vegetables in the greenhouse, which only have its surface but does not taste very good.
Helan Xiaoxin also told him that today is the annual drug trade conference.
Every year today, drug dealers and drug dealers, big and small, who make a living from drug trafficking, come from all over the world to gather here to inspect the products and prices in the four regions, and wait until the takeaway conference is held on the last Friday of October.
As for why the last Friday of October was chosen as the date of the drug fair, it is said to be in honor of a French woman.
Back in 1920, E. Guérin, a French woman, sold handmade poppies to raise money to help orphaned children after the First World War.
She visited Canada in 1921 and persuaded the Canadian War Veterans Association to accept poppies as a symbol for Veterans Day to raise money.
Therefore, starting on the last Friday of October every year, until Veterans Day on November 11, thousands of poppy symbols are distributed to the public, and people wear this symbol on the left collar of their clothes or near the heart to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives for their country.
People can also buy poppies to help veterans and their families in need.
Just like the scholars who believe in Confucius as a saint, and the gangsters regard Guan Er Ye as the ancestor of the school, any industry hopes to have a famous pioneer in the industry.
The same is true for drug production and drug trafficking.
It seems that this is the only way to make and sell drugs and harm people, and you will feel much calmer in your heart.
Li Nannan didn't believe that these drug lords and drug dealers, who only had money in their eyes and regarded human life as a mustard, would follow the original intention of the French woman to plant poppies to collect money for disabled veterans, and take out part of the money for charity.
But in fact, it is.
He found that after each successful business transaction, buyers and sellers would put a certain percentage of cash into the donation box in the southeast corner of the trade fair.
Every "donation" is made in the world's common US dollars, and 10,000 US dollars is the minimum amount.
When the golden-red glow of the setting sun gilded everything in the world with a charming sheen, the bundles of brand-new dollars were already half a box small, and roughly estimated, there must be at least three million dollars in them.
What surprised Li Nannan a little was that there was no one guarding the donation box, as if you could hold the box of dollar bills and leave at any time as long as you wanted, and no one would care about you.
A full three million dollars were placed there, but no one wanted it - this was a lot of torture for Li Nannan, who couldn't pick up anything while walking, and it would hurt his back.
However, Gala, who was with him, told him that the money would only account for about 30% of the donation at most, and that when the products of the Southern District were launched, the donation box would be filled with banknotes as the transaction was successful.
Gala is a native, that is, in her early twenties, less than 1.6 meters tall, only 100 pounds of hair and feces, dark skin, looks like a malnourished child, but her eyes are very flexible, and she can speak fluent Mandarin.
Gala is one of the new sister's henchmen here, don't look inconspicuous, but she is a ruthless character.
Gala's task today is to guide and accompany Li Nannan around.
As long as Li Nannan wants to go to the place, no matter which area it is, it will be unimpeded, and Gala's face is the most effective pass in the entire Golden Triangle.
In Gala's whispered introduction, Li Nannan found that there were still many people watching at the very busy trade fair.
Among them, a dozen or so men surrounded by several big men were the most conspicuous, sitting on the chaise longue under the pergola since the morning, drinking and smoking, and talking in a calm and low voice with their henchmen.
It's as if they're here to have a good time.
But everyone on the scene knew that they were the real big buyers.
The drugs produced in the East and West North, both in terms of production and price, satisfy the appetite of the average drug dealer, but they are not interested.
They're only staring at the products of the South Zone, Number One!
If there are luxury goods in drugs, then No. 1 is definitely LV in bags, Rolls-Royce in cars, and No. 1 in a matchbox can be exchanged for a high-configuration BMW car.
Like those who rely on a monthly salary of three or five thousand, eating ecstasy is like a working dog for the New Year, and they may not have the opportunity to taste the taste of No. 1 in this life.
Those who can afford to buy and use No. 1 are all members of those rich clubs, absolutely spending a lot of money without frowning.
The rich favor No. 1, mainly because it has the incomparable advantages of other drugs, having ordinary drugs can bring people super enjoyment, but will not do any harm to the human body, do not need to be like ordinary drug addicts, the product has not been used for a few months, people have become skinny smokers.
As for the rumors that the incubation period of the No. 1 is as long as 20 years, and that the poison will be terrible after the attack - does that matter?
There is wine today and drunk today, who cares about swallowing dregs tomorrow.
For the vast majority of the rich people who have long enjoyed the wealth of the world, Hugh said that the incubation period of No. 1 is as long as twenty years, that is, two years, and it is enough to be able to enjoy the supreme happiness brought by No. 1.
It is precisely because of the uniqueness of No. 1 that it is the most favored by wealthy people, despite its extremely high price.
Li Nannan held a wine glass, and when he passed by the dozen or so people in the field, he would hear them discussing with their henchmen, what to do later, so that they could get more No. 1 from Chachai's hands to satisfy the rich people who had already given them a deposit.
They didn't know that Mr. Chachai, the boss of the Southern District, had been buried in the poppy field as an expense last night.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Nannan stayed at the side of a group of people for a little longer, and attracted the attention of others, a tall and strong black man, with an unkind look, walked over, raised his hand and pushed him over the shoulder.
The drug trade conference was held in the central area of the Kokang region of the Golden Triangle, that is, the area of indigenous people, and the open space specially opened up for this purpose was about five acres of land, surrounded by tall and thick bamboo, and from time to time there were soldiers holding micro-punches and wearing camouflage uniforms.
These heavily armed soldiers, a total of 200 people, are made up of the subordinates of the drug lords of the four regions, and their main job is to maintain the security of the venue and prevent local government forces from coming to "cause trouble".
For safety reasons, all buyers entering the venue are not allowed to bring any weapons.
Once discovered, he will be expelled from the venue and his sales qualification will be permanently revoked.
In the worst cases, they may be shot to death indiscriminately and dragged to the poppy fields for expenses.
In this place, dying in broad daylight is really nothing.
That is, you can't bring a gun in, if you can, the black man won't push Li Nannan with his hands, and he won't say a word and pull out the gun for a long time, just like the handsome pony in "The True Color of Heroes", and the horn hook blew his head out.
Li Nannan didn't hide, his eyelashes didn't move, he still had a faint smile on his face, he didn't see anyone pushing him like a blind man, it was because he knew that Gala was there, and he could crawl like a caterpillar at the trading conference, and no one would dare to laugh at him.
Helan Xiaoxin once said to Gala in front of him, this is my man, if he loses a single hair today, you should quickly kill yourself by drinking a bomb, lest I try to kill your whole family.
The black man's hand was just about to touch Li Nannan's clothes, and his movements froze.
A swarthy pistol was pressed against his head, and Gala said in a gloomy tone: "Don't move, if you move, your head will be blown out." ”
Almost everyone at the scene was dressed in appropriate costumes, dressed in revealing and sexy European and American beauties, holding silver plates in their hands, walking through the crowd like flowers and butterflies, serving fine wine to the guests - no matter how you look at it, it is no different from an open-air cocktail party.
But the black man knew very well that the biggest difference between this kind of drinking party and the drinking party he had attended before was that after his head was blown out, Gala would not take any responsibility, and would only cause trouble for his boss.
Cold sweat broke out from the black man's forehead, and after a moment he slowly raised his hands.
After seeing Ga pulling the gun, a pair of soldiers patrolling behind the bamboo forest immediately rushed to this side with a slight rush, and everyone dodged everywhere they went, and they all looked this way.
These people are all Helan Xiaoxin's subordinates, and they are also responsible for cooperating with Gala to take care of the "boss lady".
"This brother, I have something to say."
The boss, who was squatting on a rattan chair, holding a wine glass in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and was about to come over, when Gala flipped his left hand and pointed another pistol at him.
The boss's face changed, and he raised his hand to adapt to other subordinates, don't mess around.
There was a loud bang, and the group of soldiers who came quickly pointed their guns at them, opened the safe, and showed a fierce look in their eyes, and only waited for Gala to give an order, and suddenly broke out of these people.
