"Yo, Boss Wang, you are much younger than I thought.|151 Kanshu.com pure text|.|" A sausage-mouthed female jewelry merchant stepped forward with a smile on her face, and Inas stepped forward wrapped in a purple gauze headscarf unique to Xinjiang women, with a smile in her eyes.

"Wang Yong, you rely on it."

"Inas, I haven't seen you for a long time, I almost don't recognize you. Ha ha. I smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Inas, who politely shook hands with me and Avahayi, and then invited us to the hotel for a detailed discussion.

On the way, I saw a lot of buildings similar to Islamic churches, domed columns, arched doorways, neat colors, basically green or brown, the most eye-catching is the tower-like circular buildings of those Islamic churches, standing round towers one by one, the top is an umbrella-shaped arc, and the bottom is columnar......

Looking at the church-like complex outside, I suddenly remembered one of the things that impressed me most about Islam in the 21st century, that is, Islam seems to advocate polygamy......

I don't know how to think about it, but I guess it's another flood of obscene cells in my brain.

Of course, apart from me, I don't know if Xiaobai and the female wolf head have such thoughts.

The Xinjiang hotel in the women's world is quite distinctive, even the hotels and inns are similar to churches, the style is basically the same, but the scale is slightly smaller, it seems that the women here are very religious beliefs.

After asking Inas, I found out that in Xinjiang, almost all ethnic minorities except the Han people believe in Islam, and from a young age, they will accept Islam and become devout Islamists.

After learning a little about the ethnic customs in Xinjiang, I entered into the negotiation stage with the jewelry merchants.

The main negotiation content is about the development and collection of Hetian jade, there are many large and small jewelry companies and jewelry associations in Xinjiang, and the three jewelers I negotiated with this time are all from a medium-sized jewelry company in Xinjiang, called Tailong Company, which is a small jewelry company, and the time to start developing gemstones is not long, just a few years.

In the industry of selling gemstones, the water is very deep. But the core is that two points are needed. One is that you have to find good gemstones, and the second is that you need to be able to find people who can buy gemstones. Gemstones are a scarce resource, an absolute seller's market, and it doesn't mean that you will sell them to you if you have money. People want to test your strength and credit, which take time to accumulate. The jewelry circle has a transfer system all over the world, for example, in the past two days, we have been busy with a case, 6.5 carat colored diamonds, and you have to sell them in a few days, which is a test of your ability. Sell it and you'll be one step closer to the inner circle. The closer you get, the more you'll be able to get gems that you can't see on the market.

Xiuyan jade in Liaoning, Hetian jade and aquamarine in Xinjiang, southern jade in Guangdong, Dushan jade in Nanyang, Henan, Shoushan stone in Fujian, Qingtian stone and bloodstone in Zhejiang, turquoise in Hubei, jet jade and amber in Fushun and agate from Inner Mongolia are all world-famous jewelry, and now I am of course a newcomer to this circle, but my emerald mine in Yunnan is not a small mine, it is the largest emerald mine found in the past few decades.

Of course, my gemstone sales are only average, and above my head, there are many gem merchants who are more successful than me.

On the one hand, I came to Xinjiang to discuss with these gemstone companies about the gemstone market.

There are generally two types of gemstone companies like me, one is to buy gems from local gem merchants in Xinjiang, and the second is to spontaneously hire a mining team, buy excavation trucks, hire appraisal experts, and go to the Xinjiang Department of Land and Resources to apply for mining rights, and then go to the excavation site to mine, during which all the costs and risks must be borne by themselves.

In comparison, the latter is much more profitable than the former, but it is also more risky, and if you can't dig up the gems, you have to bear a series of risk losses. But once you can dig a large gem mine, you can also make a lot of money.

My final plan is to mine the gems myself while working with these jewelers, and when I don't have my own source yet, I'll buy the gems from them. And once I've found my own source, I can buy the gems I lack from these jewelers depending on the type of ore I have mined. That said, it's a mutually beneficial process.

The whole negotiation process went quite smoothly, and now I lack contacts and lack understanding of Xinjiang's terrain and resources, so I made a little concession on some specific small projects, so everyone is happy.

"Boss Wang, it's really a pleasure to negotiate with you, I haven't seen such a bold person as you for a long time."

"Hehe, I'm happy too."

The sausage-mouthed jewelers shook my hand with a smile and ended a two-hour jewelry negotiation with me, and I shook hands with them with a smile. Of course, Xiaobai also shook hands with the jewelers, but from beginning to end, Xiaobai couldn't figure out what we negotiated, and a lot of data professional information had already made her dizzy. Actually, I'm pretty much the same, but fortunately, Awahayi knows a lot more about this, and I'm a lot more relaxed.

"Wang Yong, I have already introduced you to the jewelry merchant, if your sister has the other four, I will go first." Because I negotiated with the jewelers, Inas had nothing to do, so I went back to Hemu in northern Xinjiang to live her herding life as soon as possible.

When I looked at the back of Inas who left wrapped in purple gauze, I really couldn't understand why Inas, who already had such a large amount of assets, chose to go to her hometown to live a herding life.

It wasn't until a short time later, when I unexpectedly came to that paradise-like ancient country, that I realized that a truly free life in this world was far from being bought by money......

After negotiating the possibility of cooperation, I said that I would leave for Hotan tomorrow to see the gem mine there. After all, it was too late today, and it was impossible to go to Hotan.

"Boss Wang, tomorrow morning we can take an off-road vehicle to Hotan to see the gem mine. I think you'll be interested. The gem merchant smiled and approached me flatteringly.

"Why don't you just take the train to Hotan and take an off-road vehicle?" I asked, a little puzzled.

The jewel merchant with the sausage mouth smiled and said:

"Boss Wang, have you forgotten what day it is?"

"October 2nd...... Oh, I see. "I patted my head and reacted, today is the National Day, there are naturally more people taking the train, and the train tickets to Hotan tomorrow must have been sold out, of course I can't go, use an off-road vehicle to go, but it is more convenient.

"There is a desert road from Turpan to Hotan on the edge of the Tarim Basin, which can depart tomorrow morning, and you can't buy a train ticket during the National Day. Second, the gem mountain mine we are going to is not in the territory of Hotan, but in the vicinity of Hotan and Bayindunlen, over the years, the purple material of Hotan has been mined almost in the ground, and the mining site has extended to the east. The train does not go directly to Bayindunlen, and the desert road goes directly to the north of Bayindunlen, so the off-road vehicle is more convenient. ”

"Yes. Hehe, I don't know any of this very well. But I believe you, in that case, the off-road vehicle is still free from your arrangement. ”

"Hmm. Although we are not as good as those traditional gem merchants, we are natives of Xinjiang, and we know the terrain of southern Xinjiang very well, so Boss Wang can rest assured. I think this collaboration is going well. ”

The sausage mouth shook my hand and grinned, and I smiled.

"Of course...... The premise is that you don't encounter desert pirates and mutants. Sausage Mouth added jokingly.

Hearing the words of the sausage mouth, my face suddenly froze, and my heart gradually sank.

"Desert robbers, mutants? What is that? I asked, a little puzzled.

Sausage Mouth smiled, winked and said:

"Haha, it's just a joke, we're not going to meet it."

"Hehe, yes. However, I'm still curious, what kind of mutant are you talking about, ......? I couldn't help but say curiously.

The sausage mouth saw that I really didn't know, so I smiled and said:

"So Boss Wang, you don't know. It's a well-known thing. Desert pirates are thieves who haunt the Taklamakan Desert and occasionally haunt desert roads and rob passers-by. However, those desert thieves still know the rules very well and will not kill people casually, and the desert thieves have not appeared for five or six years, so Boss Wang doesn't have to worry. As for mutants...... That's even more ethereal legends, it was already fifteen years ago. ”

"Can you tell me about it?" I asked curiously.

Sausage Mouth is a generous and bold person, and she has nothing to say, and she opened her heart to me and recounted:

"Haha. It's a long story. It is said that there is a huge oasis in the center of the Taklamakan Desert, and there is a lake, almost 200 years ago, the Han people built a secret base in the center of the Taklamakan Desert in the middle of the no-man's land, and also carried out some secret experiments, made some biological weapons and other things, and built a nuclear power plant. Later, for unknown reasons, the nuclear power plant exploded, causing nuclear leakage, destroying the experimental base, biological and chemical weapons, and the center of the Taklamakan Desert became a forbidden area that no one approached. However, it is said that because of the nuclear leakage, some species in the desert oasis have all mutated, including many people who survived the experimental base have become blue-skinned, mutants who are not human or ghost, and there have been witnesses in the past who have blue skin and yellow hair mutants have appeared in the desert, biting people when they see them, which is very scary. Nuclear radiation, the legend of mutants, and the perennial sandstorms near the desert caused no one to dare to approach that area. So the center of the Taklamakan Desert is still a forbidden area. ”

"Of course, whether it's mutants or desert thieves, it's a rare rumor, and Boss Wang doesn't have to care about it." 151 Kanshu.com .
