Chapter Eighty-Six: A Land of Fish and Dragons
Le Chen listened to Shen Lidan's brief introduction to this boss Kong, who has deep connections in Tengtian and even Yunnan and Myanmar, especially in Myanmar, and is one of the largest suppliers in Tengtian jade market.
Over there, Bai Man and Boss Kong talked on the phone, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Boss Kong said that a batch of jade will arrive in two days, and asked us to wait for him to call." She was indeed a little dissatisfied with this Boss Kong, and when she talked to her on the phone, she was still holding the microphone and talking to others, and what she said was also heard by her, saying that a distinguished guest would come tomorrow, and Boss Kong asked the people below to prepare a banquet, and Xiao Le's side, obviously Boss Kong didn't pay attention to it at all.
Le Chen smiled: "Then we are still coincidental at this time, I thought we could pick a tail tip." "The jade from Myanmar is naturally not every day, it is good to be able to come over a batch in a month, after all, the Tengtian jade market has just emerged, the demand is not particularly large, it is estimated that it will take a few more years to have a big development, Le Chen thought that when he came to Tengtian, it would be good to be able to pick and choose the leftover jade materials from Boss Kong, but he didn't want to just catch up with the fresh jade materials to be shipped over, and his luck was really good. As for Boss Kong's lack of attention to himself, it is also obvious, even if Shen Lidantuo's people are very talented, but with Boss Kong's experience, this kind of one-sentence friendship will naturally understand what is going on, and he can wait for the arrival of the jade to notify himself, which is already very much the face of the middleman.
Looking at his watch, Le Chen said with a smile: "It adds up to more than 20 hours on the train, let's wash up and rest first, I'll call you later, let's go out for a walk." ”
Bai Man and Xiao Wan both said yes.
......
The three of Le Chen came out of the hotel at six or seven o'clock in the evening, but at this time in Tengtian, it was as bright as day, the long street was full of pedestrians, and the shops on both sides were mostly selling jade.
Bai Man and Xiao Wan both changed their dresses, Le Chen looked at his outfit from Nanjiang, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he seemed to be too unparticular, but he didn't sweat or get dusty on his body, and he didn't think to change this dress when he was comfortable.
"Huh?" Le Chen looked at a shop on the side, but it was a newly opened gambling stone shop, with cutting machines, grinding wheels, etc. stacked at the door of the store, two large red plastic basins, half a basin of water in the plate, and brushes and a few still dirty stones thrown inside.
These yellow or black, unsightly stones are jadeite roughs, because the surface is covered by a layer of weathered shell, you can't see the inside, so people can only infer whether there is a high-quality jadeite inside through the external characteristics of the shell. Most of the jadeite rough stones are traded in this way of "gambling", which is commonly known as "gambling stones".
Le Chen came to Tengtian before hearing of gambling stones, even from the boss of Kong to take jade, but also the use of gambling stone methods, I heard is heard, this kind of gambling stone shop is the first time to see, now the jade market is just emerging, Tengtian City there are three or two gambling stone shops, the price of stone ranges from dozens to hundreds, but Bo tourists just smiled, really want to gamble on stones, or go to Boss Kong, this kind of rough stone supplier.
Le Chen walked around in this gambling stone shop, and he couldn't see any clues, he picked up a palm-sized stone with a price of twenty and checked it, but he still didn't feel anything, and he felt a little disappointed, it seemed that he could only hit his luck.
Several people in the store, Le Chen, couldn't tell who was the boss and who was the buddy, they were all black-skinned locals, and one of them grinned with yellow teeth: "Brother, you can negotiate, you can negotiate." A few other people, their eyes secretly wandered around Bai Man, Xiao Wan, a big and a small two beauties, such a fashionable and sexy beauty and a cute little Lori, they had never seen it before.
Le Chen dropped the stone and walked out with Bai Man and Xiao Wan, causing the shopkeeper to roll his eyes for a while.
After shopping on the street, after finding a food stall at the corner of the street, Le Chen and a few people came in to find a seat, and the proprietress with the unique and beautiful local people immediately greeted them and introduced them to Tengtian local snacks There is a history, it is said that Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty was chased to Tengtian by Wu Sangui, hungry and tired, the locals sent bait, he was full of praise, saying that he saved my big driver, and the "big rescue" came from this.
In addition to the "big rescue", the proprietress focused on the jar chicken cooked by Tengtian Snow Chicken, brown buns, vegetarian fried, etc., Le Chen ordered the same, but the proprietress was delighted, looking at the fashion temperament of the two beauties, one big and one small, you know that people are not bad for money.
After a while, one snack after another was delivered, Bai Man ate shallowly, with an elegant posture, Xiao Wan learned from her, but Le Chen was very happy, he himself had not come out to see much of the world, let alone seen the food outside, only felt that these delicacies made his taste buds extraordinarily active, and he ate happily, and his eating appearance made Bai Man not feel funny, if he changed the eating appearance of someone else at the same table with her, Bai Man would definitely feel ashamed, but this Xiao Le was different, only Bai Man felt that this Xiao Le always acted spontaneously, and was approachable.
Le Chen was immersed in eating and drinking, suddenly his body stiffened, and a disturbing breath came from behind him, he turned his head to look, five or six people walked in outside the food stall, three people walked in the front, and the one behind should be the followers, among the first three, in the middle is a young man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold wire glasses, and elegant and fashionable; on the left is a middle-aged man with a smiling monkey face, who is talking to the young man with Xiao.
Le Chen's eyes were fixed on the slender man on the right side of the three, who was slightly shorter and slightly darker, and the breath that made Le Chen feel uneasy came from this man who looked a little thin, this man looked thin, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows faintly appeared, obviously, he had a human life in his hands, and there was more than one, so there was this kind of chilling aura on his body, not only Le Chen, even ordinary people, at a glance, also knew that this man was not easy to mess with, anyone subconsciously, in fact, there is this kind of telepathy-like sixth sense, in Le Chen's opinion, this is also a kind of induction of origin particles in the human body, but most peopleI like to see the world with my eyes, and this feeling is just firmly suppressed.
It turns out that this person has a gun on him! Le Chen frowned slightly, the feeling of uneasiness was even stronger, he had suffered the loss of a gun, and it was just a shotgun, and now this man was only afraid that he was carrying a real guy.
Yunnan-Burma border area, mixed fish and dragons, after all, close to the Golden Triangle, most of the neighboring countries are turbulent, although because the domestic public security force is extremely strong, so the public security is good, but all kinds of dangerous elements can not avoid appearing here, these people are drug dealers, there are rebels, there are warlords, etc., are the masters of killing people and setting fire outside, ordinary people can't provoke them and don't know their existence, they generally don't dare to come to the country to be traitors, but into a certain circle, they will have contact with these people.
