For a Shan State general, what should he do with his one billion dividends every year?
Of course, buying weapons and supplies.
In a land of tigers and wolves like northern Myanmar, only a strong army can ensure the safety of one's property and lives.
But when it comes to buying weapons and supplies, who do you buy from?
Are you still spending huge sums of money to buy sky-high-priced arms from military and political bosses?
Therefore, Ye Qing would make an arms deal worth several hundred million with Wu Rui every year.
What is the most profitable industry in the world? It's not selling gambling stones, it's arms.
Guns can be cheaper, but bullets are definitely not cheap.
But with a gun but no bullets, the gun is just a fire stick and useless.
Grand Master Luozhu looked at him blankly: "Old General Ye is a hero among the soldiers, how could he have such a calculating grandson like you!"
Ye Qing touched his nose and thought for a while before saying: "Today's society is changing with each passing day. Generally speaking, the whole world is focused on economic construction. If you deviate from this main tone, you will be abandoned by the world.
In order not to be abandoned by this world, I learned how to do business. "
"So, the world has abandoned us!" Great Master Luozhu's voice was a little lonely.
Ye Qing rubbed his nose. This sentence was even more difficult to answer. The war in Myanmar was not inferior to that in Africa, but the United Nations peacekeeping forces were stationed in Africa, but they had never condescended to visit Myanmar.
"There is a Chinese saying that you need to be strong to make iron. Without strong force, you cannot make the world recognize your existence."
"You're still selling weapons!"
"I am just using the simplest language to explain the cruelest truth." Ye Qing said seriously: "The strong make the rules, and the weak abide by the rules. This principle also applies to the relationship between countries.
Strong countries use their own economic, military and political strength to formulate rules of the game that are beneficial to themselves. Small countries have no ability to formulate rules and can only obey. If they fall behind, they will be beaten, oppressed and exploited. "
Bai Hu felt depressed by what he said, and asked in a low voice: "Then how can we break this rule?"
Ye Qing chuckled: "The truth is always within range!"
Grand Master Luozhu nodded: "Nowadays, northern Burma is full of wars between various countries. Whoever is powerful and has a strong army can make others listen to his voice and obey his will.
A strong foundation comes from the economy. I hope you can make some good changes in Shan State. "
Only then did Ye Qing realize that Wu Rui not only wanted money, but also political achievements.
As long as Shan State's society stabilizes and business develops, he will be qualified to join the ranks of the top bosses.
"I will let the company make some adjustments!" Ye Qing said solemnly: "But it requires systematic inspection before we can decide to invest in projects that employ a large number of workers in Shan State."
Grand Master Luozhu saw that he understood what he meant, and smiled happily: "I will convey your sincerity to Wu Rui, and on behalf of him, you are welcome to come to Shan State to do business."
"Thank you, Great Master!" Ye Qing stood up and put his hands together in salute.
Grand Master Luozhu returned the favor with a smile and changed the topic: "I heard that you cut out a piece of glass to grow ink."
Ye Qingxin said that the monk really loved money: "Yes, this piece of jade has been reserved for several brands, but we haven't found a suitable jade carving master yet, so it has been locked in a bank safe."
Grand Master Luozhu smiled, took off a rosary bead from his wrist, put it on the table and pushed it towards Ye Qing: "I need a string of black jade beads to tie up the wandering horse."
Ye Qing was reluctant as soon as he heard it. Jade beads were made from scraps. He had never heard of anyone using a whole piece of jade to make beads.
And if you pick out one hundred and eight pieces at a time, if you make a mistake, you will waste a good piece of material, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
In other words, picking out one hundred and eight rosary beads from Mo Cui is enough to carve out more than a dozen jade plaques.
The price of each jade tablet is around 20 million.
The price of this string of 108 rosary beads has reached 200 million.
What's more, a rosary consists of three parts: the main bead, other beads, and a string.
The main bead represents the Buddha, the string represents the Dharma, and several other beads represent the monks.
A string of beads contains the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
The only main bead worthy of glass-grown ink jade is imperial green.
A glass imperial green bead with a diameter of 1.5 points can cost tens of millions.
It can be said that the cost of this rosary is only 300 million.
Seeing that he was silent, Bai Hu rolled his eyes at him fiercely: "First look at the beads given to you by the great master!"
Ye Qing lowered his head and saw that the beads pushed over by Master Luo Zhu were the Eighteen Sons bracelet.
The material used is Rudraksha. Although the coating is thick, it has obviously been cooked for a long time...
Suddenly, his eyes focused on a long ball, and he lost his voice: "Faluo Dzi Bead!"
This thing is not expensive in Panjiayuan. The expensive ones are only 10,000 yuan, and the cheap ones are only thirty or fifty.
But these are all unscrupulous traders, using agate or shells to burn with acid, and they can deceive everyone by putting them on the street stalls.
However, Master Luo Zhu’s Dzi Bead was definitely not burned with acid.
Ye Qing picked it up and took a closer look. The patina on it was very thick and solid. It had obviously been worn for a long time: "This is true..."
"Nonsense, you think everyone is just like you. You just open your mouth to talk nonsense." Bai Hu gave him a fierce look: "This string of rosary beads was passed down by the great master's master. It is condensed with Buddhist thought power and can keep you safe. !”
Ye Qing grinned and said nothing.
Dzi beads originated from the worship of spiritual stones by Tibetans, who believed that Dzi beads were accessories worn by gods.
Once the beads are damaged, they will be thrown into the world and turned into fossils of living things.
Therefore, in the minds of Tibetans, Dzi beads are alive.
The Fa Luo Dzi Beads, also known as the first generation Dzi Beads, are polished from conch fossils.
Dzi beads polished from nine-eye stone shale are the second generation of Dzi beads.
Later, Tibetans used herbs, colored agate, and fired Dzi beads to make Dzi beads, which are called third-generation Dzi beads.
It is currently the most imitated Millennium Pure Dzi Bead on the market.
The nine-eyed lotus pure Dzi beads worn by the well-known artist surnamed Li are said to be worth 100 million. In fact, they are the third generation of artificial Dzi beads.
But the most precious thing is the Faluo Dzi Beads, which are ground from spiral-shaped Dzi beads. They are the solidification of life.
It can be said that this Rudraksha bracelet is not worth much money, but this Dharma conch dzi bead is priceless.
What's more important is that this Dzi Bead has been held by generations of great masters and has become a consecrated sacred object and a Buddhist treasure.
But what are you doing by giving me a Dzi Bead? You want to transform me into a Buddha... It is impossible to become a monk, even if you have faith.
"I also have a piece of glass planted with imperial green, which can be used as the main bead, and the rest is made of black jade. Is the Great Master satisfied?"
