Ma Baobao's eyes lit up.
The places where jade is produced in Myanmar are concentrated in the Wulu River Basin, which was originally the territory of China.
The Yuan Dynasty once set up the Tengyue Road, and the Ming Dynasty set up the Tengyue Prefecture of Yongchang Prefecture, with ten chieftains and eight passes outside Tengchong. The Qing Dynasty followed the Meiji Dynasty and was still the master of Tengyue Prefecture.
In modern times, Yingjiang is still the closest distribution center for jadeite in China.
Due to its geographical advantage, Yingjiang stone gambling has a long history, far better than Ruili and Tengchong.
But in modern times, Yingjiang has fallen behind, far behind Teng Chong and Ruili. Not to mention the coastal areas of Guangdong, Pingzhou has now become the largest jade stone market. Nor did it give birth to a giant enterprise like Yulong Group.
The decline of Yingjiang has caused the Ma family to feel a sense of crisis, so they plan to focus on the stone jade industry and flourish more.
However, such a business strategy also has major drawbacks.
Smuggling stones, rice, timber, and even beef and mutton from northern Myanmar has long formed a special industry. The leaders of the industry have their own purchase channels and sales channels. If you enter this industry rashly, you will not only make countless enemies, but also may have private fights.
This is also the reason why the boss of the Ma family has always been hesitant.
But to develop the jadeite industry, you also need the right time, place, and people.
Yingjiang occupies an advantageous location, but not the right time or people. Especially the rise of Ruili and the establishment of the Jiegao duty-free zone have made Ruili a paradise for stone gambling.
"Now the time has come." Qi Yu pointed to the distance, and the gunfire boomed: "Until the war ends, Tengchong, Yingjiang and Ruili, which have geographical advantages, will become the largest stone gambling distribution centers in the country."
"But the war cannot go on forever." Ma Baobao gritted his teeth: "Once the war ends, more stone gamblers will still go to Chaoshan."
"The war is just an opportunity, and it is more about the guidance of the government." Qi Yu smiled: "The geographical advantages of the three places are unmatched by Chaoshan, but compared with Yun Province, Chaoshan has better public security conditions.
In the stone gambling industry, a large amount of cash flows every day, and the security at the border is difficult to describe. Therefore, many big businessmen went to Chaoshan for safety. "
Ma Baobao wrinkled his beautiful eyebrows: "Security and smuggling are themselves very contradictory issues."
"So, how to rectify the stone gambling market and how to reconcile the contradiction between safety and smuggling is a problem that Ye Wu needs to face." Qi Yu said with a smile: "And at this time, we need a respected industry veteran like Master. Show up and make the rules, that’s what people are about.”
He paused for a moment: "Now that we have the right time, right location, and the right people, we don't have to worry about the industry not being able to develop. However, if you want to be the leader in the industry, you need to be proficient in the art of physiognomy.
The art of physiognomy is not only about identifying stones but also about people. The shells of jade raw stones are ever-changing and there are rules to follow, but people's minds are unpredictable. "
Ma Baobao is a junior sister. Qi Yu can't bear to scold her and can only be patient and persuasive.
When Ye Wu lands in Dehong Prefecture, there will definitely be a big move, and banned goods and smuggling will definitely be severely cracked down. So don’t even think about taking the wrong path at this time. If we work hard on the market, new opportunities will appear.
But another meaning is that the Mu family will definitely be doomed. If Ma's Jade Jewelry Company wants to survive, it must stay away from the Mu family.
Ma Baobao was a little distracted: "I have never thought that Senior Brother Mu is such a person?"
"Look at the stone!" Qi Yu didn't persuade him much. Although Ye Qing used some means to peel off the painted skin on Mu Jiaqi's body, Ma Baobao had to figure it out on his own.
The sound of saws suddenly stopped, and Duma walked over quickly.
Agou threw the cut stone aside. This stone had no characteristics and was very ugly. The stone shell was full of pits and had a layer of moss on it. It weighed about twenty kilograms. There were three more stones next to it, all of which were the same stone. Cut off.
Agou glanced at Duma: "Don't look at it anymore, this is just a piece of white magic. There is only a little bit of green at the incision, but it breaks when it reaches the inside, and there are cracks here..."
The stones Ah Gou cut were all those that Qi Yu and Ma Baobao picked out.
But it's hard for gods to cut through jade, so for the sake of safety, they will cut it off.
Duma called out: "Miss Ma, come and take a look."
Agou waved his hand: "No need to call me Miss Ma. This is a stone that can get stuck. The reason why I cut it three times is because the stone has a thin skin. I thought it was in stock, but I didn't expect it to be a white devil. No. It’s valuable.”
Ma Baobao walked over quickly, took out the flashlight, and pressed it on the stone shell. The light was bright and the water head was very long, but no one expected that there was a little green in the center of the stone.
"Is this stone still valuable?" Duma squatted next to Ma Baobao. According to the rules set by Ye Qing, whether the stone is thrown or not, Qi Yu or Ma Baobao must take one last look at it.
"The light is very transparent because this stone is water foam. Generally speaking, water foam is symbiotic with jade. As long as there is water foam, there must be jade. Unfortunately, the proportion of jade in this stone is too small. Even if It’s not worth much if you dig it out.”
While she was talking, she picked up the stones and tried to splice them together. Suddenly she found that the green that appeared on the other half was actually bigger than the piece of green in her hand. She was shocked: "Brother, come here and take a look. This piece of white magic has something." ghost."
Qi Yu was also tired of looking at the stones. It was not his eyes that were tired, but his brain, arms, and waist... He hit his old waist to relieve the pain a little, and then he walked over.
First, I took a look at the leather case. It is a piece of public material that can get stuck. Although it looks ugly, it is also a characteristic of this market that it can get stuck in frog skin. This piece of frog skin still has a rust color, so it is not so flattering.
The reason why Agou is allowed to cut this stone is because the stone itself is a cutting material.
The knife cut out the foam.
But the stone's shell was very old, so to be on the safe side, Agouzi had to cut it twice.
It is a typical example of someone who would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
Qi Yu looked at the stone and then at Ma Baobao: "Do you think it's getting greener?"
Ma Baobao nodded affirmatively: "I think it's possible, so I plan to make a cut."
Qi Yu looked over and over again, then lifted the stone and knocked it over, and then said: "Come with a knife from the middle."
Agou glanced at the stone suspiciously: "It's already cut like this, why not cut it."
Qi Yu smiled and said: "There is something wrong with this stone. Since it is green, you can bet that green will grow on the waterway."
Agou nodded. Whether this stone is a leather shell or the moss on it, it indicates that it is impossible to turn into a white devil. Even if it is water foam, it should be green water foam.
Now that we are out of Cui, we have to bet on the dragon and there is water everywhere.
"The color looks like a python on the shell and looks like a dragon on the stone." Qi Yu said seriously: "Anyway, it's just a matter of cutting it open and taking a look."
