Wang Kaixuan looked at Cao Yi, feeling a little uneasy. If the Taoist priest retreated in the face of difficulties, his trip would have been in vain.
The big jade bracelet he had promised to Lao Hu and Staff Yang had come to nothing.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, the sound of Cao Yi's fingers tapping on the table seemed to hit Wang Kaixuan's heart every time.
Suddenly, Cao Yi raised his head and looked at Wang Kaixuan: "Are you full?"
Wang Kaixuan's mind was filled with the anxiety that his plan to make a fortune would fail, so he couldn't think of anything to eat, so he nodded numbly.
"And you?"
Cao Yi looked at Da Jinya.
The latter's mind was spinning much faster than Wang Kai's. He immediately understood that the Taoist Master was about to take action and nodded like garlic.
“Then go to Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company”
Cao Yi stood up.
Wang Kaixuan and Da Jinya stood up.
The three of them walked out of the door of the International Hotel.
A dilapidated taxi parked not far away drove over with an unpleasant sound.
"Good morning"
Xiaozhuang poked his head out from inside, with a smile as bright as a daisy on his face.
Last night, he brought fifty dollars home, and the family, which had been struggling on the poverty line for a long time, had a little fun.
"Good morning."
Cao Yi said with a smile.
Xiaozhuang got out of the car and opened both doors. The service attitude was very good.
Like yesterday, Cao Yi sat in the front passenger seat, while Wang Kaixuan and Da Jinya sat in the back.
"Go directly to the jade trading venue?"
Xiaozhuang didn't know the situation and asked subconsciously.
"No, go to Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company first."
Cao Yi said.
The millions of dollars he has in hand are a lot of money in this era. If he spends a little more money to manage it, people from the Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company will definitely be willing to guarantee him or send him an invitation letter.
A trace of doubt flashed across Xiaozhuang's face, but he didn't ask.
Vehicles driving on a road that is far from smooth make the noise even louder.
Cao Yi looked through the window and took a close look at this city with extremely poor infrastructure and an atmosphere of poverty, but the residents' mental outlook was pretty good.
"Taoist Master, am I right to call you this?"
Xiaozhuang asked cautiously. After returning yesterday, he specifically asked the old man at home.
But the old man was confused, and he was not sure what the old man said was right.
"That's right"
The Taoist priest retracted his outward gaze and said calmly.
"This Burmese jewelry trading company..."
Xiaozhuang started talking again.
The more Cao Yi listened, the more he felt he had found a treasure.
According to Xiaozhuang, Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company is a state-owned company. Like many state-owned companies around the world, it has bloated personnel, widespread corruption, and most of the profits are taken away by the government, resulting in serious losses. In order to solve this loss problem, Myanmar Jewelry Trading The company took advantage of its own advantages to acquire a lot of rough jade stones and sold them directly at the company headquarters. Many jade merchants who lacked funds ran to try their luck.
"Sometimes, when there is really no business, I will climb over the wall to take a look. I have personally seen someone spending hundreds of euros to cut out jade worth hundreds of thousands of euros and become rich overnight."
Xiaozhuang's face was full of envy.
When Cao Yi was studying, he saw this kind of expression on the faces of his classmates who liked to gamble and buy lottery tickets.
"Why is it Euro? Isn't it settled in US dollars?"
Wang Kaixuan, who was sitting in the back seat, asked puzzledly.
"Sometimes the dollar, sometimes the euro, sometimes the pound, it's a mess."
Xiaozhuang turned around and said.
Just then, a passerby crossed the road.
"Beware"
Cao Yi grabbed the steering wheel and twisted it to one side.
The taxi passed by the passerby, who was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
Xiaozhuang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and said no more.
More than ten minutes later.
The taxi stopped in front of a building that looked old at first glance.
On the steps, which were not very clean, stood two Burmese soldiers with loaded guns, staring straight ahead.
At the bottom of the steps, a middle-aged Chinese-looking man sat behind a table. There were two signs on the table, which said 'Registration Office' in Chinese and Burmese respectively.
At the gate, Chinese people were constantly coming in and out, their faces either depressed or happy, much like gamblers in a casino.
"This is Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company?"
Wang Kaixuan got out of the car and saw a dilapidated building, showing a disappointed expression. In his opinion, companies that can be related to jewelry trading should be high-end.
“It’s good to have an office building”
Cao Yi looked at it and said.
Myanmar at this time can be said to be in a terrible state. Corruption is prevalent in the central government, there is a fierce power struggle, and the finances are almost bankrupt. At the local level, there are a few larger local warlords, a group of smaller warlords, and chaotic tribal conflicts, as well as the intervention of foreign forces. It was a complete replica of the Republic of China, even more so. After all, the Republic of China did not have so many tribes without national concepts.
"Hey, the person in charge of the registration office is Chinese. The Myanmar government is really considerate."
Wang Kaixuan said again.
"Registered in the past"
Cao Yi walked over.
After registering and paying the entrance fee of fifteen dollars, the three people entered the gate and were led by the staff to a field behind the building that was half the size of a football field. Thousands of large and small jade rough stones are placed on the site, with prices on the labels ranging from a few dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
In the open space on one side, a group of people were surrounding a middle-aged man holding a grinder to cut stones. As the gravel chips continued to fall off, a sigh came from the crowd.
Obviously, the stone bet failed.
"Hey, dear, I did a rough calculation. This pile of broken rocks is worth four to five million US dollars!"
Wang Kaixuan clicked his tongue.
"Master Kai, don't look at these stones as inconspicuous. If you find an imperial green stone, the money will be lost."
Da Jinya retorted.
Wang Kaixuan sneered and said, "I really don't think I know anything. These fooling stones can cut out imperial green."
Da Jinya was speechless.
While the two were talking, Cao Yi walked into the jade stone and looked for the jade stone with aura fluctuations.
One piece, two pieces...ten pieces...twenty pieces. The more Cao Yi looked at them, the more depressed he became. None of them had any spiritual energy.
Did the Myanmar Jade Company use a bunch of fakes to make up the numbers, or did not every piece of jade contain spiritual energy? With doubts, Cao Yi walked to an area where raw jade stones were marked with prices ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
"Taoist Master, is this your first time here?"
A voice speaking Cantonese spoke.
Cao Yi turned around and saw a bald middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and small eyes.
Although the appearance is not good, the temperament is very good.
"say what?"
Cao Yi couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
"Taoist Master, is this your first time here?"
The bald middle-aged man spoke fluent Mandarin.
"yes"
Cao Yi nodded.
"These pure wool materials are mainly gray and yellow, and are typical raw stone wool materials from the Pagang factory. Most of the wool materials from the Pagang factory are medium and low-end, and they cannot produce any good jadeite!"
The bald middle-aged man said calmly.
Obviously, an expert.
"All bets on raw materials?"
Cao Yi showed doubts.
