Lai Qingyan has an oval face and delicate and beautiful facial features, which is in line with typical oriental aesthetics.
Her eyes were clear, and her upright face showed a heroic spirit.
Tang Songyuan clinked his wine glasses with her and responded: "I'll definitely do it if I have the chance!"
After three glasses of wine, Lai Qingyan said again: "Since I have no preparations, please don't be polite to these three distinguished guests who have a simple meal."
Luo Gang laughed and said: "Okay, now we are in a cooperative relationship, so there is no need to say more polite words. I, Lao Luo, am a rough man and I can't say those nice things."
Lai Qingyan smiled slightly and said: "That's true. In fact, we here are of the same origin and species, so we should unite and support each other."
I understand the truth, but you, a bitch, personally led a team to destroy the Song family, who are also Chinese, just an hour ago.
It can be seen that in her eyes, the Chinese name is a link and a source when it is useful, and is thrown aside when it is not.
The only thing that is truly reliable is profit...
Next, from Lai Qingyan's mouth, Tang Songyuan also learned about some situations in Mogok.
Similar to Pagan, gem mining in Mogok is also an important economic pillar industry in Myanmar.
Although the proportion is not as high as that of Pakant, it still cannot be underestimated, and it is very close to Mandalay, one of the base camps of the government forces. It is also considered the basic base of the National Defense Forces.
Luo Gang snorted and said, "Actually, it's all the same. As long as you are willing to spend money and ensure the interests of the military, no one will care about you down there whether you live or die."
"Or, like our general, you can still walk sideways with a strong gun in your hand."
Tang Songyuan couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. If he spent some money and raised a team, would he be able to become a local emperor here?
Lai Qingyan shook his head and said: "It's not that easy to go sideways. Most Burmese people are xenophobic. Our Lai family has been rooted here for hundreds of years, and we are just working together to protect ourselves."
Luo Gang smiled and said: "Haha, that's because the Lai family didn't have a leader like Miss Lai earlier. With your ability and means, it's only a matter of time before you dominate Mogok."
Lai Qingyan smiled and said: "Luo Dajingang is joking, I am a woman and I don't have such big ambitions."
After meal. Lai Qingyan arranged for Tang, Song and Yuan to stay at Lai's house. Ni Dehong's Mercedes-Benz also drove into Lai's courtyard. Luo Gang also arranged for two soldiers to take turns guarding.
The next morning, Tang Songyuan and Ni Dehong got up early to practice boxing.
After several days of practice, Tang Songyuan was able to practice all the thirteen Tai Chi movements without missing a beat. But I still didn’t realize the harmony Ni Dehong said.
Ni Dehong said: "The boxing frame looks like that, but we still need to practice diligently to understand the artistic conception of the boxing method as soon as possible."
As for the specific artistic conception, Ni Dehong did not say, obviously he wanted Tang, Song and Yuan to understand it themselves.
While having breakfast, Lai Qingyan told the three of them that it would take at least three hours for the blocked road to be opened to traffic.
Even after a night of cleaning, there were still some places where even the road surface had been washed away and collapsed and needed to be repaired manually.
For this reason, Lai Qingyan also complained that his younger brother Lai Chao was a little unclear in what he was doing. Not only did he arrange too many explosive points, but he also administered a large amount of medicine.
Lai Chao scratched his head aggrievedly and said: "Sister, you can't blame me for this. That cliff is a limestone structure. I didn't expect the collapse to be so extensive..."
Lai Qingyan glared and said, "You still dare to talk back, right? Be careful, I'll put you in confinement for a week!"
Lai Chao suddenly didn't dare to speak and stared at him.
"It's still early, how about I take the three of you to the three gem mines to have a look?"
Lai Qingyan suggested.
Now that Luo Gang is Somchai's representative and one of the shareholders, it is reasonable to inspect his assets.
Tang Songyuan and Ni Dehong did not object, and then Lai Qingyan drove out in a car and took Tang, Songyuan and Yuan on the road to Mogok.
One of the three mines produces sapphires, and the other two produce rubies.
One of them is quite rich and can produce top-grade rubies, and is top-notch in Mogok in terms of both quality and quantity.
In Lai Qingyan's words, the Song family snatched this rich mine from the Lai family more than 20 years ago, and now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner.
After driving on the winding mountain road for almost an hour, the group came to the rich mine that Lai Qingyan mentioned.
But when Tang Songyuan looked at it, it looked like a simple and messy construction site.
The mine is surrounded by rusty barbed wire, and there is a watchtower dozens of meters apart, with gun-wielding guards monitoring the surroundings.
Inside the barbed wire fence, there are some chaotic wooden buildings, but more of them are simple mines scattered throughout the site.
Water pipes are also laid at the mouths of some mines to continuously pump water outside.
There is a very tightly guarded checkpoint at the entrance. There is a small exit next to the gate, and a corridor built with iron fences is set up.
The purpose is self-evident, which is to make workers' daily entry and exit less convenient.
After entering the door and getting out of the car, Luo Gang took a general glance at the whole place, then walked to a mine and looked down, and asked: "How many meters were mined in this mine?"
Lai Qingyan said: "In most places, we have dug fifty or sixty meters. In some places, we have to dig deeper, maybe seventy or eighty meters."
Luo Gang had an idea and said with a smile: "It should be mined for another twenty to thirty years. It is really a rich mine."
Just as he was talking, there was a commotion at the exit of the mine. A man who looked like a miner suddenly jumped out of the crowd and ran as fast as he could in the mine, with several people who looked like supervisors chasing after him.
Lai Qingyan frowned slightly, but didn't pay much attention.
The ragged miners were running and shouting, but they were speaking in Burmese, and Tang, Song and Yuan could not understand a word of it.
In less than three minutes, the fleeing miner was pinned to the ground by four big and thick supervisors, and then dragged in front of Lai Qingyan.
An overseer held up a red stone flatteringly, which was still stained with traces of blood and some yellow-black dirt.
He said: "Miss, this is not the first time for this man. Last time he cut a hole in his stomach to hide gems, and this time he hid them in his butthole..."
Lai Qingyan glanced at the disgusting gem with a calm gaze and said:
"I don't care how the Song family handled it before, but now it's our first day as head of the Lai family, and something like this happened."
"You guys, go cut off his tongue... and hang it at the gate as a warning!"
The supervisor nodded and bowed and said yes, then called on the others to drag the miner down again.
Ignoring how he whined, he then took out a hook-shaped knife, pried open his mouth and cut off his tongue in front of all the miners.
The miners screamed with blood in their mouths, while an overseer raised his bloody tongue and loudly warned the miners who were silent.
Luo Gang chuckled and said, "Miss Lai is a bit more merciful. People like this will suddenly show up in Pagan."
