The harsh noise of the stone cutter attracted a large group of stone gamblers, who swarmed into the store and stood around the stone cutter, nervously looking at the rapidly rotating cutter wheel.
Everyone's forehead was sweating, their hands were clenched, and their eyes were unblinking.
No one cared, someone just jumped off the rooftop after losing everything.
Ye Qing pulled Pang Kun, took a few steps back, stood outside the crowd, and lit a cigarette.
Pang Kun glanced at him: "People who gamble on stones are crazy!"
"Crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and there are still crazy people waiting!" Ye Qing gave him a funny look: "This is gambling stone. The wheel of the knife cuts not only winning and losing, but also life and death."
Boss Qi also emerged from the crowd and handed over the task of cutting stones to Wang Liang and Fatty Zhang. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Money and silk are the most touching things."
Pang Kun also understood that Ye Qing came here not only to gamble on stones, but also to recruit the cunning Boss Qi under his command.
Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally, he let Boss Qi see the huge source of wealth.
And Boss Qi is also willing to surrender.
Three people stood in the corner of the stone gambling shop, whispering.
"What you want is the connections Wang Hong and I have accumulated over the years in northern Myanmar."
Ye Qing is Wang Hong's biggest customer in Qingshui Town. He has known for a long time that his rough stones are all kilograms of material from Xiaochangkou.
However, these small venues are in the hands of ethnic minority guerrillas.
These guerrillas are completely different from the Kachin Independence Army.
Because they are poor, they become more unscrupulous and cruel. Therefore, they are also called wandering bandits by the people of northern Myanmar.
For them, killing and stealing is the norm!
"Now the business is divided into two parts!" Ye Qing whispered: "One part is the business with the government troops, and the other part is the business with the Kachin Independence Army."
"type!"
Boss Qi understood immediately upon hearing this that he was not needed at all when doing business with the government troops, so Cunning Tiger took care of the matter for him.
The business I want to contact is the Kachin Independence Army, and it can even extend to the border guard force, the Kachin New Democracy Army, which is at odds with the government army.
Once you capture them all, you can reap huge profits.
No wonder this kid is deliberately trying to drag himself into trouble. This kind of benefit is enough to make people crazy.
"Daily supplies and medicines."
Boss Qi was surprised. Daily supplies were not huge profits, but medicines definitely were: "But large-scale smuggling will definitely attract the attention of the authorities..."
"I am responsible for official matters!" Ye Qing smiled calmly: "Furthermore, I will provide formal customs clearance procedures and pay taxes in full so that you can leave the customs openly."
Boss Qi felt relieved and nodded: "Should you talk to Ma Rui, or should I talk to Ma Ji?"
Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said, "The reason I'm looking for you is to avoid the caravan!"
Boss Qi said seriously: "The China-India Highway leads directly to Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State. However, those who occupy Myitkyina and even set up checkpoints on the China-India Highway are government troops.
And our business has nothing to do with them. We cannot even let them know that we are doing business with the Kachin Independence Army. Otherwise, he will definitely be dragged to target practice.
I can help you operate the business and clear the way, but you can't let me deliver the goods myself. And Ma Ji's disciples are the best choice. "
Ye Qing also understood that the people traveling over the mountains and on the mountain roads were definitely not cars, but horses.
But before the official verdict on the caravan was reached, he did not want to have anything to do with the caravan.
Boss Qi smiled slightly: "I know that the problem of caravans is serious, but you should also understand one thing. It is better to add trouble to the situation than to give help in the snow.
If you want to do business in northern Myanmar, especially with the Kachin Independence Army, you cannot do without the horse gang. What's more, we can bypass Ma Qianli and Ma Wei and contact Ma Ji and Ma Rui directly! "
Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said: "But the problem is, I still have Liu Guohua and Liu Fang here!"
Boss Qi looked at him in surprise: "Didn't they break away from the caravan a long time ago?"
“But the favor is still there!”
Boss Qi nodded slightly. Although Liu Guohua had left the caravan for many years, his family was still in Majia Village. He frowned and said, "Is there no room for change in the caravan's affairs?"
"The main reason is that I don't know how deep the caravan is involved in the case and how many people are involved!" Ye Qing frowned:
"The most important thing is that after Erguotou committed suicide, Ma Wei recruited his cronies. Although he quickly took control of the financial power of the caravan, his indiscriminate covert of criminal disciples also made the future of the caravan unpredictable."
Boss Qi smiled bitterly: "The caravan is different from other gangs. The composition of the members is passed down from generation to generation. They are related by blood and are connected by blood. This is why the caravan can work together to conquer the foreign countries.
Therefore, it is easy to deal with one caravan disciple who made a mistake, but if you deal with dozens or hundreds of caravan disciples, it is possible for all the disciples to rebel, and Ma Qianli cannot help but be careless. "
“So, Caravan sucks from top to bottom.”
"At least Ma Ji and Ma Rui are clean!"
Ye Qing looked at him in surprise: "You also want to be a lobbyist!"
"You can't overturn a boatload of people with one pole!" Boss Qi said solemnly: "Even among the bad guys, you can still find a few good ones by picking and choosing, and the same is true for the caravan.
The most important thing is that when you do business with Cunning Tiger, you can take the highway openly, but when you do business with the Kachin Independence Army, or even the Border Guards and the New Democracy Army, you have to avoid the highway and take the trails in the mountains.
These smuggling wealth routes hidden in the deep mountains and old forests can only be accessed by the caravan disciples. "
Only then did Ye Qing realize that he had taken it for granted. The location of the Kachin Independence Army was near Savage Mountain. Not only were the mountains high and densely forested, but there were many bandits, hordes of wild beasts, and miasma. It was also full of mines, making it difficult for people who were not familiar with the road to enter. , it’s like going through the hell gate...
Not to mention delivering the goods, being able to come out alive is all thanks to the good deeds of the ancestors.
Because of this, for hundreds of years, caravans have been irreplaceable in trade with Southeast Asia.
It can be said that every smuggling route was traveled by the caravan disciples with their lives.
There are risks but also huge benefits, that's why it's called a financial path.
"A two-pronged approach!" Ye Qing frowned and said, "I will try to contact Ma Rui, and you and Ma Ji will also contact each other."
Boss Qi burst out laughing: "Ma Ji and I have been cooperating for a long time, and there is no need to contact us at all. What's more, you are smuggling with official permission. The real loss is only the military government in northern Myanmar, but... .”
He changed the topic: "What you really convince is yourself, and you need to find a win-win method of cooperation."
Boss Qi stopped talking. He knew better than anyone else that what Ye Qing was really worried about was what the higher-ups in Yun Province thought of the caravan...
"You are also a disciple of the caravan!" Ye Qing looked at him sideways.
"In Tengchong, Yingjiang, and Ruili." Boss Qi said solemnly: "Even if you are not a disciple of the caravan, as long as you are in the rough stone business, you will be inseparable from the caravan."
"So, the caravan does the most tiring and dangerous work, and earns the least money, working for you black-hearted businessmen."
