Chapter 486: Selective Leakage
The next day, that is, on the 15th, when the sun first rose, the streets of Pagang became hot, those who went to the stalls in the morning and closed the stalls after noon were open, and the miners who sold jade rough stones went to the streets to set up stalls, selling fruits and vegetables, and the market town really looked like a city.
Myanmar is a tropical rainforest country, the rainy season and dry season are distinct, during the rainy season every year, because of too much rain, it is easy to landslide or mudslide, digging jadeite is too dangerous, jadeite production areas are also suspended for rest, only some small fields with high safety occasionally start work.
During the rainy season, jadeite mines could not be mined, and the miners who made a living from mining were idle, some of them would find other jobs to make a living, some would grow crops, and some would do nothing.
There are also many miners who make a living on the streets of Pagang, and when they can't find anything to do, they will gather at the end of the street to play cards and gamble, and walk around the street, and you can see men and women wearing cages and flip-flops everywhere.
Yesterday, some shops were closed in the evening, and Le Yun didn't run all over, and after breakfast, I went shopping for materials, and I also started when I met the top materials and the price was cheap.
After swaying for more than an hour, it rained again, and the people on the streets of the market town were calm and could not be calmer anymore, and those who set up stalls and walked around the street were prepared, some with umbrellas, some with tarpaulins, and some people who had nothing to do stood under other people's roofs or big umbrellas to avoid the rain.
Standing under a large umbrella outside a store to shelter from the rain, Le Yun listened to others chatting by the way, continued shopping after the shower, and finished work until almost noon, and carried the jade stones back to the van.
Before lunch, the driver was entrusted by his employer to invite a local miner to lead the way to find materials, and he was very happy to help the employer run errands, and he could get a hundred hardship fees for finding a person to lead the way.
Miners have their own news channels, and the news is spread very quickly, which miner digs up a good material, which one has a stone, the miners have almost heard it, and there are individual old miners who are more expert than the mine owners or jade merchants, and know how to determine the quality of the shell skin of the jadeite rough.
The miners invited by the Atu driver are in their forties, less than 50, which is just the right age group, has enough experience, can play with mobile phones, and has fast information circulation.
The hired miners ate with their employers, and in the afternoon, they dutifully took their employers to the miners' settlements to hang out.
The sellers recommended by the middle-aged miners all have goods in their hands, some are three or five yuan, some have more than a dozen yuan, and two are small bosses who buy and wholesale rough stones to make the difference.
The miners lived in a very simple place, most of the houses were simple tin houses, some had a few tree stumps to support the roof, the outside was fenced, and they were outside when the transaction was discussed, and the owner showed the stones to people, and if the transaction was not negotiated, the stones were taken back.
Most of the jadeite rough in the jade field area is in the hands of the owner or jade company, and most of the good quality and relatively large ones are sent to Wacheng, or sent to the capital to prepare to participate in the public market in August, and most of the small wool materials are stranded in the field.
The stones dug by the miners are generally sold to the owners at a low price, and the miners who have the stones in their hands are mostly middle- or upper-class miners, and the economy can get by without being in a hurry to use the money, so they temporarily accumulate the stones and wait for the right time to sell them at a high price; Some miners are under pressure to live under pressure, and when they dig up stones, they will sell them at a low price and exchange them for money.
Middle-aged miners take their employers to pan for materials, sometimes contacting their peers, exchanging news, and screening for better sources.
Le Yun has a very high vision and is very picky, so seven or eight out of ten are unable to negotiate business, and the first few that did not like the stones, until a miner who engaged in acquisition and then changed hands to make the difference, did not buy three pieces of material, and also spoke, giving the middle-aged miner an additional reward of fifty yuan Xin, to show that he was very satisfied with the source of goods he recommended.
I don't know if it's because the extra rewards have played a role, the supply grade recommended by the middle-aged miners is obviously better, and Le Xiao's classmates have also bought a few small pieces of material one after another.
In the middle of the afternoon, the middle-aged owner finally recommended a source of goods at the bottom of his box: a jeweler company specializing in rough jadeite in Pagang's stocking point, although most of the goods had been delivered, the stock was generally more than in other places.
The place where the inventory is is a private house, the place where the jade is put is fenced with a wall, and the top is covered with asbestos tiles for the roof, don't think that it is simple and easy to steal, the manager has a gun in his hand, or a legal gun holder who is bright and bright, and whoever dares to steal is killed is equivalent to a vain death.
There were businessmen who came to see the goods, but the owner of the house who was responsible for the management did not push back, opened the door very happily, turned on the electric lights, and showed people generously.
There are not many stocks, they are all medium and small wool, and there are many small wools, stacked in piles like stones by the river, at least more than a ton; Medium-sized wool is relatively small, with hundreds of pieces from more than ten catties to dozens of catties, and less than ten pieces of hundreds of catties.
The lights were dim, and the room was a little cramped.
Before entering the residential building, Le Yun observed the situation, there were people on the second floor of the residential building staring, or the kind with guns, people were monitoring the place downstairs to put wool at the window, it can also be said that people were watching the goods under the guns of others.
The light was not bright enough, she took out a flashlight and walked to the wool pile, studied and appreciated it in a corner of the small material area for ten minutes, picked two palm-sized wool, and then looked here and there, picked out a total of eleven small materials, put them in a corner, and then went to see the medium-sized wool.
The price of wool is different in different places, some are on blocks, and some are sold by catties.
For the gambling stone way to roll the melon early ripe rhyme, very sophisticated, the pick in the material to move out, and then to pick the others, it took nearly 40 minutes to pick and choose, pick out more than a dozen pieces of medium material, the largest piece has 160 kilograms.
The middle-aged miner who was the informant looked shocked, this is a big customer.
The manager held the computer, waited for the businesswoman to finish picking out the materials, and negotiated with others, two medium-sized stones were 3,000 yuan a piece, and the medium-sized and large stones had four pieces of 300 yuan a catty, and there were five pieces of 400 yuan a catty; Fifty yuan a piece of material.
In line with the principle of saving money, Le Yun bargained in a friendly manner, and bargained for the two kinds of stones to 250 yuan a catty, and the two sides reached an agreement, with a total of 221,000 yuan of wool, and finally cut off 100,000 heads, 220,000 yuan.
After the sale is negotiated, the owner of the house who is responsible for the management also helps to load the stones, and the large and small stones are packed up in woven bags, and then the goods are taken out of the warehouse, and the door of the house is easy.
The transactions in the jade field are all cash transactions, unless it is a large transaction between companies to accept checks or transfers, small transactions are delivered with one hand and one hand to pay money, and everyone clears up after paying the money.
The bag containing the rough stone is tied to the luggage trailer, which weighs hundreds of kilograms, and Le Yun twists the backpack containing nearly 100 kilograms of small stones with one hand, and the trailer with one hand, which is easy and stress-free.
The long-haired businesswoman is short in size, but her strength is surprisingly large, and the middle-aged miner and driver Ah Tu was stunned and at the same time had a sense of jealousy, and roughly understood why she dared to go deep into the jade field alone to find materials.
There are a lot of stones, and it is inconvenient to drill the small alley, so Le Xiaoxiao first went back to the parking place, moved the stones to the car, left the driver to help guard the car, and she and the middle-aged miners went to shop for goods.
Because of his fear of the businesswoman, the middle-aged miner did not dare to have any restless thoughts, and dutifully recommended the source of goods he knew, and took the businesswoman to run in the miner's settlement.
Even in the jade field, good materials are limited, Le Yun only found seven pieces of favorite materials on the second departure, and at sunset, he returned to the van, put the stones on the car, locked the car, and the three of them went to eat.
Before he said that he would hire an informant with a salary of 200 yuan, he paid 100 yuan in advance, and after the meal, Le Xiao paid the other half to the middle-aged miner, and at the same time gave him another 500 hardship fees.
The middle-aged miner earns more money a day than a normal month, eats two meals for free, goes home happily with his salary, and when he leaves, he also makes a special explanation that if he still needs to go shopping for goods tomorrow, where to find him.
When the middle-aged miner left, Le Xiaoxiao gave the driver Ah Tu three pink-haired grandfathers, he helped find a good informant, and helped guard the car, and gave him some hard money, so as not to chill him.
The Atu driver earned an extra income of 400 a day, grinning excitedly, and when his employer went to take a shower, he willingly kept the car, and then went to the hotel to rest.
After accumulating hundreds of pounds of stones in a day and a half, considering the limited carrying weight of the van, Le Yun transferred all the stones into the space in the middle of the night.
The next day, after breakfast and ready to leave, Ah Tu climbed into the car, felt a little wrong and couldn't think of anything wrong, drove the car for a while and finally found the clue, turned his head to look behind, found that it was empty, scared to step on the brakes, the car braked suddenly, and his head was full of sweat: "Nama, your stones are all gone!" ”
He didn't know his employer's full name, only that his name had a Na character, which was called Nama according to local customs.
Le Yun, who was almost hit by the sudden braking, just sat up and wanted to ask what was wrong, when he heard the driver exclaim, he reached out and pressed his temple: "Wu Shan, I forgot to tell you that my family sent someone to follow me, because there are a lot of jade rough stones, and it is inconvenient to carry, I informed my family to come and take it last night." ”
The translation of the name of the Atu driver into Chinese is Tushan, which can be called Atu or Ashan, and Wu, not his surname, Burmese people do not have a surname, Wu is an honorific title, equivalent to "Mr.", which is suitable for men, and the honorific title for women is "Du", and "Ma" is an honorific title for young women, which means "sister", which is almost the meaning of a girl in Chinese.
"Take ...... Let's go? Ah Tu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and muttered.
"Yes, because it's inconvenient for my family to show up, so it's up to me to gamble on the stone, they don't want people to see their faces, they won't show up with me, they came to pick up the goods in the middle of the night last night, and this kind of situation will probably happen often in the future, I hope it won't bother Wu Shan, if Wu Shan feels annoyed, I'll pay you the fare, and I can rent another car."
"Ahh I heard that the young Nama wanted to rent another car, Ah Tu came back to his senses with a spirit, the employer was very generous, the chartered car also included food and accommodation, and tips, a hundred times better than the previous chartered employer, he didn't want to lose such a good opportunity to make money.
"I can't lose my things, whoever steals my things, he won't end well, and it's impossible for my family not to pursue it."
"Oh, it's good that it's not stolen, Nama, let's keep walking." A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly started the car and continued to rush to the next entrance.
In the rainy season, sometimes it rains several times a day, sometimes it doesn't rain for a day, and the weather is fine in the morning, and after 9 o'clock there is a torrential rain, and the sun still comes out while it rains.
Originally, in terms of distance, the van of the Atu driver took more than an hour to reach the miners' settlement at the entrance of another field, but because of the rain, there was a place on the road that was washed out of the pit by the mountains and rivers, and it took more than two minutes to find stones to fill it, and it took some time to get there.
Not every site is like a town formed by Pagang, and some of the miners' settlements are scattered, like a small village, and they are not lively.
The second Changkou area that Le Xiao went to was quite large, like a larger natural village.
After arriving at the ground, the Atu driver showed his cleverness and wit, ran to find a clever miner as an informant, led the way to the shopping for goods, and also stayed at the miner's house that night, just like staying in a hotel, staying for 60 yuan a night.
Stayed in the field for one night, and the next day set off to go to another famous market to shop for goods, she did not ask for more, only for good quality, so in the first-hand market of the jade field did not find much goods, the goods of the two fields added up to not as much as a place in Pagang.
There were few goods, there was no transfer, and they were all stored in the car.
In fact, the origin of jadeite is not everywhere jadeite, and it is not a few digs to dig jadeite, jadeite is hidden in the rocky soil.
There are pros and cons, the local area is rich in jadeite, driving the development of related economies, and also earning countless taxes for the country, but the places where jadeite is produced are dug bare, which is extremely damaging to the environment, and the rivers near the mouth of the field are also turbid.
Because there is not much time to spend, there is no time to go to the field to see what the production area is like, there is no mining in the rainy season, and the field is also guarded by the army to prevent people from stealing.
Employers go everywhere, drivers are also happy to make money, carrying employers from here to there, the famous entrance is generally a day, some of the entrance only stay for half a day, when leaving Pagang and visiting the fourth entrance, it is also June 19.
On the 20th, Le left the old field area and went straight to the small field area, passing through the new field area on the way, and went to the two fields for a circle.
The small field area, also called the south field area, is far away from the old field area, and covers an area three times the size of the Houjiang field area, but there are not many field entrances.
The small field area is in the south of the old field area, with a long distance in between, leaving the old field area, going out of the mountain along the road, and then turning to the small field area on the road.
The van walked out of the old field area and stayed in a city for one night, and the little student Le Xiao only set off from the small field area on the morning of the 21st and arrived at the small field area before noon.
The jadeite ore in the small field area is a primary deposit and an indispensable part of the jadeite mining area in Myanmar.
The Atu driver took the employer to the famous Nanqi Changkou, walked for half a day, and went to the most famous one called "Moliu" the next day.
