P: Ask for a click to collect and evaluate the monthly pass, the first time I ask for a ticket, I hope you will support
The three of them ate a bowl of sago soup and continued to shop, the two women liked to look at those delicate trinkets, and Guo Yu accidentally found something that aroused his interest.
Guo Yu squatted down in front of a stall, looking at the pieces of rotten wood and old tree roots, Guo Yu thought about it.
He used to like to play with cultural toys, bracelets, walnuts, relics or something sometimes to play, and he just liked the dzi that he bought, so he had the ability to cross.
Guo Yu picked up an old tree root, weighed it in his hand, felt very pressed, smelled the smell, and there was almost no smell. The roots here also vary in color, from green, dark green, to yellowish colors.
Guo Yu checked the things in his hand and asked the seller, "What is this?" ”
"Sir, this is agarwood, all of them are good agarwood from the island, if you need it, I can also make incense for you, I am a family heirloom of making incense, and I used to make incense for the nobles and Buddhas." Seeing Guo Yu's question, this man quickly stood up and replied in Chinese, obviously a Chinese.
"Tell me, how did you find all these agarwoods?" Guo Yu picked up another piece and asked.
"Some of these are what I encountered when I was collecting herbs myself, and some of them were collected from the aborigines, and when I went to the indigenous tribes to collect herbs, I told them that I collected agarwood, which itself is a medicinal material, so I sued them to help me find it in the mountains." This Chinese man was thirty-four or five years old, black and strong, and he was nervous and paused when he spoke.
The man's words made Guo Yu curious, chatted with the man, and slowly understood the man's situation. This man's name is Wu Qilang, he is a Chinese, his father used to be a langzhong, and he also knows how to make zuò Buddha incense, but later offended a local nobleman in Myanmar, so he fled to Kalimantan Island to make a living.
He has lived here for 20 years and has fully integrated into the place, he does business with the locals, also treats them, also buys and sells medicinal herbs, and sometimes makes some Buddha incense for sale, and today he comes here to set up a stall to sell incense, and these agarwood are just raw materials for making incense, used to attract guests.
In fact, agarwood has a high status in China and Southeast Asia, making medicine, making jewelry, making spices are the best choice, Buddhism makes agarwood incense as the best incense for Buddha.
In 1915, the price of agarwood is not low, of course, the price is higher in modern times, there was once a saying that a gram of agarwood three grams of gold, in fact, more expensive, in 2003 an auction, an agarwood ornament was auctioned to 7.95 million Hong Kong dollars, the average price is 10,200 Hong Kong dollars per gram, and now the price has increased several times.
Of course, people should not have misunderstandings, agarwood is not agarwood, these are two different things, agarwood is the oily juice secreted by agarwood, after a long period of precipitation, slowly form agarwood, and agarwood is just a kind of wood.
Now people fry very hot agarwood, in fact, it is the mother tree of agarwood, that is, the tree species that forms agarwood, these trees are difficult to find in modern times, but in today's Kalimantan, it is indeed everywhere, these are all money, a bracelet is tens of thousands, how many beads do you have to make a tree, a piece of furniture costs millions, how many forests are there, don't you want to open the way, do you have to build a station after you go in, how much agarwood you have to get out, no, you have to let people show me, keep it for yourself.
Guo Yu looked at the large and small agarwood placed on the ground, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty catties, which is tens of millions, in fact, he does not lack this money, but this thing is very rare in modern society, and the quality is generally not as good as these.
Looking at Wu Qilang, Guo Yu rose up again to solicit the heart, this guy has lived on the island for twenty years, often goes into the mountains to collect medicine and contact with the natives, is familiar with the nearby environment, is familiar with the situation of the natives, if it is used well, it can play a big role.
bought all the agarwood incense, called the bodyguards, told them to carry all the things of Wu Qilang on their backs, and went back to the capital together.
Guo Yu asked Wu Qilang to sit down, and the two of them chatted in the courtyard, Guo Yutong asked Wu Qilang about it, and knew some of the situation of his station, especially the situation of the port and some of the natives here.
The indigenous people of Machen Port, mainly the Sabah people, the Sabah people are also divided into many tribes, and the Malays, Chinese, and Sabah people are the indigenous people in the rainforest, they are easier to get along with, and now the tribes get along relatively well, and the Malays are from other islands, and the situation of the Chinese is almost the same, they are all foreign.
After understanding the general situation, Guo Yu felt that the natives could still be subdued, while the Malays had to look at the situation, it really didn't work, Guo Yu was not a good man and a woman, so he would start when it was time to start.
He also learned that the fighting power of the natives is still very strong, especially in the jungle, which is their paradise, their home, they will set traps in it, use poisoned arrows, so that you can't guard against it, and there are many dangers in the jungle itself, and Guo Yu did leave him behind, so that he could see a doctor in Huafu in the future, after all, this is a rainforest, and many strange diseases need to use him, such as being bitten by a snake.
Moreover, Guo Yu also arranged for Wu Qilang to continue to buy agarwood, a large number of purchases, Guo Yu is ready to organize a batch, sell it in Hong Kong, and it should be able to sell at a good price.
Wu Qilang's words also made Guo Yu think, it seems that he needs to establish his own armament, set up an army, especially a special forces force, and now the environment here is very suitable for the jungle special operations mode, it seems that he needs to plan.
Guo Yu doesn't know what special forces operations are, but he can let others teach him, find Erzhu, and let Erzhu select 1,000 people from the current Huafu Guard, who is the strongest in body, flexible in brain, and the most loyal to Guo Yu, Guo Yu is of great use.
And Guo Yu did go to modern times and called Chakli, the manager of the Russian mercenary organization, to buy a batch of special operations weapons and materials.
This time, Guo Yu flew to Africa by himself, and met the Russian who sold weapons last time at the Morse Hotel in Liberia, but I still don't know what his name is.
Guo Yu proposed that he needed to buy a batch of special forces individual equipment, which required a full set, about 1,000 pieces, and asked the other party to give a catalog.
Tactical vest, AK47, 5 magazines, 300 spare rounds (not counting magazines) RPG rockets, bulletproof helmet, goggles, leg straps and knee pads, fireproof gloves, a saber and a pistol, individual radio, individual medical kit, combat boots.
Guo Yu also asked that there is no need to bring a satellite system, as long as it is connected to the base command vehicle or command system, and the radio signal can be used.
That's it, the unit price of each set of equipment is 12,000 US dollars, black enough, it is said that a set of American special forces equipment is only 20,000 US dollars, or the high-tech kind, China's set is similar to Russia, the price is about 20,000 to 50,000 yuan, it seems that the other party wants to make his own head, but there is no way, arms trading is like this, and not cabbage can be bought anywhere, you can buy it at a high price, but Guo Yu also asked the other party to provide a full set of special forces training syllabus and video teaching materials, And you want to have Chinese, Russia, the United States, China, and all terrain, jungles, swamps, snowfields, deserts, and so on.
