Ye Qing smiled. Jin Sha was right. Although jade is Burma's main export commodity, Burmese people don't love jade.
What Myanmar people love is gold.
This kind of love comes from the soul.
In Myanmar, everyone from wealthy celebrities to common people have a special liking for gold.
From head to toe, there are all kinds of gold jewelry.
This is the top fashion in the eyes of Myanmar people.
The reason for this phenomenon is the long-term turbulence of the current situation. It is said that jade is hidden in prosperous times and gold is hidden in troubled times. Gold is the eternal hard currency in the international market.
Only Chinese people know how to appreciate the beauty of jade.
Ninety percent of the public materials and gambling stones in Myanmar were bought by the Chinese.
However, gold is the mainstream consumption of Burmese people. Coupled with the temples everywhere, people want clothes and Buddhas want gold clothing, resulting in insufficient gold.
This is also the father of the Zhu family. He knows that gold is a best-selling product in Myanmar. He would rather counterfeit it and use various means to enter the mainland than dare to sell it in Myanmar.
They are just worried that these military bosses will know that high-content gold mines have been discovered in the Kokang area, and the Kokang area will become a key target of attack by the government forces.
Because of their crime of possessing the jade, the government forces attacked them at all costs, and eventually the Kokang people became slaves of the Burmese dignitaries in mining.
Therefore, the method Ye Qing used was equivalent to killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred. Apart from attracting soldiers to the old market, he would get nothing.
These Burmese military bosses will never allow a foreigner to participate in gold mining.
Ye Qing smiled slightly: "Wu Rui is a Burmese noble and a Shan State general. He is not a military boss. If he wants to become a military boss, he still has a long way to go."
Jin Sha nodded. Wu Rui, like Mao Liang, was a pure-blood Burmese, but their family was not top-notch in Burma. Therefore, they were sent to garrison Shan State and Lashio.
Although Wu Rui's methods of managing Shan State were brutal, he was conservative.
Shan State has been a war-torn land since ancient times, with high mountains and dangerous waters and difficult people. Even if there are some minerals, it is not easy to mine them.
What's more, these mineral deposits don't have the crazy quarry entrances occupied by the Kachin Independence Army.
Waging a large-scale war to compete for these negligible mineral deposits will not only consume strength, but also lead to deep mud.
On the contrary, it is better to mobilize troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Kachin Independence Army, which can always get a share of the pie.
Therefore, for Wu Rui, as long as there is no chaos in Muse, as long as the Burma Highway from Muse to Mandalay is open.
As long as the various ethnic groups in northern Myanmar do not declare independence and establish a country, he will let it go.
Ye Qing smiled and said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to be a military boss is not a good general either!"
"But if you want to be a military boss, you must have enough troops to influence the political situation." Jinsha said seriously: "In Shan State, recruiting troops is easy but raising troops is difficult.
Even if he has the Muse Port in hand, 70% of the tax revenue from the Muse Port must be handed over to the military government. What is left to him is not enough to support a well-equipped army.
This is also the real reason why he wanted to do business with us at the risk of genocide.
In Myanmar, having no soldiers means not having any rights. The richer the family wealth, the greater the danger. Therefore, a vicious cycle is formed.
They raise troops at any cost and turn them into bandits, and we, the ethnic minorities, are the targets of their plunder. In order to protect our people and property, we can only rise up and resist. "
"So, if Wu Rui wants to become a military boss, he must have huge financial resources to support him, expand the army, and purchase weapons. So he must conceal the news that he has discovered a high-quality and large-reserve gold mine in Shan State, and secretly mine it himself.
Once other military bosses find out, they may not even leave him a sip of soup. "
Jinsha finally understood Ye Qing's plan.
Borrow Wu Rui's help to defeat Zhu's father's men. Even if they can't kill them all, they will be driven deep into the Golden Triangle.
The gold mine fell into Wu Rui's hands.
In order to conceal the fact that gold mines were discovered in his jurisdiction, Wu Rui's best way was to secretly take shares and let others mine and sell them.
And this person must be a confidant.
The cunning tiger will make a grand appearance!
The relationship between Ye Qing and Cunning Tiger is self-evident.
The arms business made Wu Rui powerful, made Cunning Tiger the king of Kokang, and allowed Ye Qing to take all the mineral deposits in the Kokang region into his own hands.
In exchange for the support of inland high-level officials.
This is a perfect ecological cycle!
But this is also what Grandpa is most afraid of.
Nankan Town in Muse's jurisdiction is the activity area of the Benglong Army.
Beyond this area is the area under the jurisdiction of the Kachin Independence Army.
Less than two hundred miles across the mountains and ridges, we reach the old field area of Pagan.
These old towns are the lifeblood of the Kachin Independence Army.
If Wu Rui purchases sophisticated weapons and expands his army in Lashio, he will pose a fatal threat to the Kachin Independence Army as long as he defeats the Benglong Army.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
A wolf armed to the teeth will never let go of a fat sheep.
"My grandpa will definitely do whatever it takes to destroy the deal between you and Wu Rui." Jin Sha said cautiously: "Even if he turns against you, he will not make Wu Rui stronger."
Ye Qing is raising a tiger to cause trouble, but the tiger he raises is causing harm to the Kachin, Benglong, Kokang, Bai and so on...
If you want to keep this tiger weak and unable to fight, the best way is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
One way is for the coalition forces of all ethnic groups to satisfy Ye Qing and ask him not to do business with Wu Rui anymore.
Another option is to kill him.
But if he is killed, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups will definitely suffer revenge from the Ye family in Kyoto.
Jinsha looked at him sadly: "I don't want to be your enemy, so I asked you to come over to negotiate. However, if you refuse to change your mind, all tribes must kill you in order to survive."
Jinsha is a very practical woman and she speaks the truth.
Ye Qing looked at her frankly: "I am just a businessman, and there is no justice in northern Myanmar. If you want to block my way, I can only say sorry."
Jin Sha felt a chill in her heart and said cautiously: "Letting you kill Wu Gedan is our greatest sincerity, but if you say this, you are not afraid of hurting my sister's heart."
Ye Qing gave her a fierce look of contempt. What else can be hurt by your black heart: "I am talking about business with you, but you are talking about life and death with me."
Jin Sha said bitterly: "This is the cruel reality. We need to survive and have space to survive, and every business you do with Wu Rui is helping the evildoers."
“It’s not the outcome I wanted, but that’s business!”
"Although we are not Chinese, we have Chinese blood in our bodies and have the same ancestors as you, but you help the Burmese tigers and wolves to harm us. How can you bear it?"
