Chapter Ninety-Nine: There is water everywhere in the Dragon's Journey

Most of Myanmar is tropical, and this time Lu Xiaoqi walked in the crowd wearing short-sleeved pants, and it didn't look abrupt.

When a group of four people arrived in Mandalay, they were not in a hurry to go to the hotel, and went to the rough stone market first with the hearts of tourists, Lu Xiaoqi used the most commonly used words of Burmese to communicate with the vendors, and later found that many Chinese Internet anchors were wandering around here, so they followed behind to listen to how they bargained and what proportion to tip.

Ding Yaoyan's beauty was confirmed in a bunch of black and thin people, almost everywhere she went, there were many longing eyes, but it was a pity that there was a vicious Bai Lin beside her.

Bai Lin didn't know anything about the jadeite rough stone industry, and when he saw the numbers written with a paint pen on the gray stones on the stalls, he asked very strangely what it meant.

Although Lu Xiaoqi himself was also visiting Myanmar for the first time, because many customers he dealt with had been here, he knew the situation here for a while, so he told Bai Lin 1510.

"Most of the people who stand here to sell stones are not bosses, even if they risk their lives to go to the mining area to pick up rough stones, they have to be numbered, they belong to the open boss, they have a commission and tips to take when they help the boss sell goods here, which is not much when converted into RMB, but it is enough to satisfy the stomach. So if you say a price, they can't sell it to you immediately, you have to call their boss and ask their boss, if you can sell it, the transaction will take effect immediately, if not, others can also increase the price; But if you succeed in the bargain but regret not buying, you will never be able to enter this market again, or you will have your leg broken or even lose your life. ”

Su Laishi nodded, he has also heard of a lot of similar incidents, in fact, this belongs to the unspoken rules of the jadeite industry, this kind of unspoken rules that ignore the law have already been transmitted back to China from Myanmar, and in some jadeite markets in China, it is the same.

Passing by a corner stall that no one patronized, Lu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.

The stall owner is a young woman, her face is coated with sunscreen and mosquito repellent Tenaka, there are a few stones on the stall paved with snakeskin bags in front of her, one of which is cut, the color is very poor, there is no color, no head, and there are many cracks. The other pieces are also of little value. But the woman still persistently beckoned Lu Xiaoqi to come over and take a look.

Lu Xiaoqi saw that she was not wearing shoes, and there were many wounds on her calves and feet, so he knew that she was a poor person who ran to the mine to play for her life. Thinking of the mining disaster two years ago, he was a little sad, behind every piece of brilliant and beautiful jadeite, there were the blood and tears of the poor people in Myanmar.

Lu Xiaoqi stopped, took out 100 yuan, and gave it to a Chinese traveling merchant next to him, asking him to help translate.

Lu Xiaoqi said that he wanted to buy all the goods on this stall.

The translator was very enthusiastic, glanced at the pile of goods, and urged him not to buy this kind of thing, with that money, a lot of good materials to choose, he could also help, only charge ten points for the purchase fee. Lu Xiaoqi shook his head and insisted, he said that he must buy this girl's materials.

The interpreter couldn't help it, so he looked very disgusted, pointed to her stone and said:

"I'll take you back to the toilet and give you 500,000, you call and ask!"

The girl shook her head expressionlessly, and the translator asked vigorously, "Hello old man?" Pound close? (How much)"

The girl wrote a 5 million, 5 million kyats is more than 20,000 yuan, Lu Xiaoqi was about to nod, only to hear the translator say: "Your friend and my friend, give a lot of tips, 1 million transactions, how about 100,000 tips?" ”

1 million, which is 4,500 yuan, six or seven rough stones, the unit price is not expensive. But Su Lai still felt that it was too expensive, he said that these are similar to marble, and it may not be possible to sell things with processing fees. He desperately gave Lu Xiaoqi a look.

But Lu Xiaoqi still nodded neatly.

When the girl heard that there was a tip of 100,000, she immediately nodded, and the one pocket put all the stones together and wrote a 100, and the tip of 100,000 was naturally not written.

The translator left the number and told Lu Xiaoqi that the transaction was completed. After a while, she asked the boss, and she would definitely give it, because the quality was really poor, and it belonged to the variety that was sold for money. The girl had been standing here for days, and no one had bought her.

Lu Xiaoqi stood on the side of the road and chatted with him for a while, it turned out that this person was from Henan, doing business in Guangdong, named Maoli, and he had to come to Myanmar for a period of time every year, doing the business of helping to buy rough stones, earning some exchange rate differences and buying fees, which was more cost-effective than selling ready-made goods in China, and he was very familiar with many locals here.

He said that most of the people here in Mandalay believe in Buddhism, and they are quite simple, but the cultural quality is very low, only three or two of the ten are literate, and many children do not go to school, so they come out to ask Chinese merchants for money everywhere, and he also told Lu Xiaoqi not to go to casinos or gambling stones, and never to go to northern Myanmar, which is connected to the Golden Triangle, which is considered hell on earth.

As expected, it didn't take more than a cigarette to make the girl come back and say to Lu Xiaoqi that something was given to you. Lu Xiaoqi paid the money and smiled cheerfully, carrying the snakeskin bag, the girl was about to leave, Lu Xiaoqi called her, hugged her, and kissed her, the girl was emotional and panicked, Lu Xiaoqi took out 20,000 yuan from the satchel and put it in front of her: "Give you a tip." ”

The girl stared at the 20,000 yuan, and pointed at the money and herself very suspiciously: "Give it to me?" ”

Lu Xiaoqi nodded: "Here you go." The girl hesitantly took the money and stuffed it into her bag, and did not dare to leave as she watched.

Mao Li looked at the 20,000 yuan, and then looked at the black thin girl with a mediocre appearance, and shook his head again and again:

"Big brother, you are so handsome, what kind of aesthetic are you...... Otherwise, brother, you kiss me, you kiss me, I only need 200."

Bai Lin scolded him for being a loser and having a little money to be blind. Ding Yao...... Still expressionless.

Lu Xiaoqi knew that as long as she didn't leave, the girl wouldn't dare to leave, so she smiled at her again, picked up her pocket and left. After walking a long way and looking back, the girl turned around and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Mao Li has been following Lu Xiaoqi, and Mao Sui recommended himself:

"I'm proficient in all the humanities and customs here, you really don't know much Burmese, I'll be your guide these days! I only need 3,000 yuan a day, and 20,000 yuan a week, do you think? ”

Lu Xiaoqi stopped and looked at him: "Deal!" He put the snakeskin bag directly into Maoli's hand, and Maori immediately picked up the bag and went with them to the hotel.

"Many of the Mandalay hotels are Chinese businessmen, and the fees here are a bit expensive, but they are not cost-effective. Burmese people think that the Chinese have money, come to send them money, but it is still correct, and there are shops opened by the Chinese themselves, rushing you to call your fellow villagers to tell you to gamble money, you must not go. I had a friend who lost money in a gamble and borrowed a cash ticket, but he couldn't pay it back, was stuffed in a van and taken away, and never came back. ”

Mao Li is probably a person who often carries stones, and Lu Xiaoqi saw that he was carrying a bag of stones on his shoulders, his face was not red, he was not panting, and he could talk endlessly, so he felt that he was also a person who could endure hardships.

He followed Lu Xiaoqi into the hall, waited for them to finish the room, and went up together, when he got into the elevator, Lu Xiaoqi asked him where he lived, and he said that it was in a small hotel nearby, and he would report early tomorrow morning. He said it strangely:

"I only came here yesterday to deliver materials to customers, and today a few service people in the hall have different eyes, as if they have changed people."

Lu Xiaoqi's heart moved: "You mean, the waiter in the hall has changed?" ”

Maori nodded affirmatively: "I come here often, and I still remember the faces of one or two beautiful waiters, and they are all here today." ”

Lu Xiaoqi and Su came to the same room, Bai Lin insisted on sharing a room with Ding Yao, Ding Yao did not express an opinion, everyone had no objections, anyway, she must not be in bed.

When he arrived at the room, Mao Li put the snakeskin bag in it, washed his face and was about to leave first, but Lu Xiaoqi stopped him.

He poured out the rough stones from the snakeskin bag one by one, leaving only the worst half, and put the rest back into the snakeskin bag, and handed it back to Maoli: "These are for you, as a tip for today." Leave me your mobile phone number, come to me at eight or nine o'clock after dinner, I have something to look for you. ”

Mao Li was puzzled, remembering that Lu Xiaoqi bought this pile for more than 4,000 yuan, but gave a tip of 20,000, and now he doesn't want it, leaving only the unformed rough stone, which is really incomprehensible, but it is normal to feel that rich people have some habits, after all, only people with clear brains can make a fortune, so he carried the bag and left happily.

When Su came to wait for Maoli to leave, he complained about Lu Xiaoqi vigorously, once he became rich and spent a lot of money, he would become a poor egg again in a few days if he continued like this, and he was simply a nouveau riche.

Lu Xiaoqi held up the gray rough stone in front of his eyes and smiled evilly: "Sell it to you for 100,000 yuan, or?" ”

Su Laishi took it and observed it again and again and threw it back: "It's all cracked cow hair, colorless moss in the skin, and no water in the white meat, even if the table legs are uneven!" He stretched out a palm angrily: "I'll take out 50 yuan, use it to sharpen scissors!" ”

Lu Xiaoqi pointed to a small green dot on the surface that was not visible: "Look here." ”

Su Laishi hurriedly turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, looked at that place, looked left and right, and still didn't see anything.

Lu Xiaoqi went to Bai Lin's bag next door and found a hammer for nailing peach stakes, and in front of Su Laishi, he smashed the unsolid surface of the rough stone into pieces, revealing a piece of green jade the size of an egg inside!

A glass of water was poured on, and the bright yang green eyes were verdant dragonstone jade!

Su Laishi's eyes were straight, and he shivered and picked out the piece of green rough stone, and observed carefully, this time the flashlight was lit up, and the treasure light filled the room!

Lu Xiaoqi crossed his arms and paced with his head held high, still reminiscing about today's victory:

"There is water everywhere in the dragon line, and this dragon is hidden deeply! Today, in the whole market, the best piece of jade was bought by us for 24,000. ”

Lu Xiaoqi turned his head and smiled, and looked at the dumbfounded Su Lai: "Look, how much is it worth?" ”

Lu Xiaoqi trembled and stretched out a slap:

"Fifty million!"
