At this time in the Tang Mansion, Li Qingying, Zhou Muning and Liu Xiangqin had not yet fallen asleep.
The three girls were drinking and chatting in the large courtyard of Tang Mansion, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Tang Songyuan came back, only Li Qingying came up to him and asked with concern: "How is it? The field trip went well..."
Tang Songyuan smiled and said: "It's a little troublesome, but it has been taken care of."
"Those two gem mines are excellent rich ores with extremely high mining value."
"That's good!" Li Qingying moved a chair for him and said with a teasing smile:
"In this way, Boss Tang's career will be a great addition."
Tang Songyuan glanced at Zhou Muning and Liu Xiangqin respectively, sat down and laughed softly:
"Where is the business territory? That place is very desolate, and there are very few people around it. I am still at a loss to do anything about mining."
Li Qingying also sat down next to him and said with a smile: "I remember you told me that you knew a mine owner in Mogok,"
"Three of her gem mines still account for 10% of the profits."
"I just thought about this problem on the way back!" Tang Songyuan said:
"But Lai Qingyan is not a simple woman. If you want her to help, it will be difficult without paying a small price."
"And even if I were willing to give up some profits, it's unlikely."
"After all, relatively speaking, Mogok is now much safer than Kokang..."
On the way back, Tang Songyuan thought about this series of questions.
There are indeed great benefits to mining these two gem mines, but he has neither experience nor skills.
It is not a good idea to set up a company in China and then recruit skilled workers as in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is not a good idea to do it step by step.
Because the gemstone industry is different from gold mining, the technical content is relatively high.
In addition to mining, there are also subdivisions such as sorting, cutting, grinding and polishing, quality assessment, etc., which require quite mature professional skills to play successfully.
There is another very important reason. This is northern Myanmar, and people with iron fists like Lai Qingyan are needed to control the situation.
Li Qingying tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "How will you know if you don't try? It just so happens that I need to pass by there on my way back to Pagan. Why don't I drop by and ask?"
At this time, Zhou Muning, who had been silent next to him, suddenly interrupted:
"I suggest you keep a low profile. Mogok is located in Mandalay, and that place is the territory of the government army,"
"The Mogok area is now one of their important financial sources, and is usually heavily guarded."
"You two are going there like this... aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out?"
Tang Songyuan frowned, this was indeed a problem.
Tang, Song and Yuan were known as the contemporary stone kings, and Li Qingying was second only to him as a master of stone gambling.
Do you really think that the military government didn’t know anything about Tang, Song and Yuan’s support for the Allied Forces behind their backs?
If you really go there hastily like this, you might just fall into a trap.
So not only could Tang Songyuan not go, but Li Qingying going in his place would also be very risky.
But if Tang, Song and Yuan are not going, Lai Qingyan can come over.
Tang Songyuan had Lai Qingyan's contact information, so he just called Lai Qingyan and invited her to come here.
If that doesn't work, he can also control the birds to deliver messages for him.
Thinking of this, Tang Songyuan made up his mind and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Lai Qingyan.
The call was quickly connected, and Lai Qingyan's unique voice came from the receiver:
"It's so rare. It's so late. How could Mr. Tang think of calling me?"
Tang Songyuan coughed lightly and told her about his plans to acquire two gem mines and invite her to discuss cooperation.
Lai Qingyan smiled and replied: "Mr. Tang means that you provide the funds and land, and I will be responsible for leading people to complete the collection to cutting and other processes. Is this what you mean?"
Tang Songyuan said: "Yes, I personally took people to explore today. These two gem mines are rich ores. Is Miss Lai interested?"
"Of course I'm interested!" Lai Qingyan said without hesitation: "But I want to know what percentage of the share Mr. Tang will give me?"
Tang Songyuan did not intend to talk to her personally about the share ratio, but said:
"We can talk in detail about the specific share ratio after we meet. Everything is easy to discuss. Is it convenient for Ms. Lai to come to the old street now?"
"I can send someone to Mogok to pick you up..."
Tang, Song and Yuan had already thought about the person to pick her up, and no surprise, it was Luo Gang.
Lai Qingyan didn't show any pretense and immediately agreed: "Okay, then it's settled!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Songyuan looked at Li Qingying and said:
"It seems like you won't be able to go to Pagan for the time being..."
Getting to Hpakant requires passing through Mandalay, where at least three brigades of Tatmadaw troops are currently stationed.
Li Qingying nodded helplessly, then suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay. If you don't want to go, I won't go."
Tang Songyuan looked at Zhou Muning again and said, "Not bad. In such a short period of time, you have initially built an intelligence network."
"Luo Gang often asked me to praise you, saying that you provided them with a lot of intelligence support..."
"What~!" Zhou Muning curled her lips and said, "Actually, it was Lao Yang who helped me a lot. After he started the uprising under your instigation, some of his informants were partially attacked by government troops."
"So he handed over the remaining people to me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve this point in the short term."
Yang Zhicheng used to be an information dealer in Lashio, and Tang Songyuan also bought information from him before.
Now that Yang Zhicheng has turned from darkness to light, some things need to be cut to a certain extent.
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "You are quite honest..."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Mu Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "When we come out to hang out, the most important thing is to be honest."
"Otherwise, I lost the bet to you, and if I want to default on my debt, there's nothing you can do against me!"
Tang Songyuan smiled and did not refute Zhou Muning's words.
There was really nothing he could do against Zhou Mu Ning. This girl was equally ruthless and merciless in killing people. She could even cut people into pieces if she got angry.
At this moment, the phone Tang Songyuan had just put down rang again.
I picked it up and saw that it was Yang Zhicheng calling.
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Songyuan's heart, but he still chose to answer it.
As soon as the call was connected, Yang Zhicheng's extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Brother Tang, something bad is going to happen!"
"Lao Peng just fainted on the front line. Several personal guards rushed him back. Now his life is hanging by a thread. I'm afraid..."
...
