Chapter 105

Tengchong County is only more than 80 kilometers away from the border of Myanmar, the world's only source of jadeite wool.

In the 1970s, the state promulgated the policy of developing foreign trade, and the jade wool business in Tengchong began to prosper again. In the decades since then, Tengchong has played an important role as a distribution center for global jadeite trading, which is the spring of Tengchong's jadeite industry. In 1996, after the Burmese government announced that it would not allow private jadeite rough trading, it blocked the border smuggling channels of Burmese merchants, and most of the jadeite trades returned to Myanmar for local transactions. This is the beginning of the winter of Tengchong jade trading.

Powerful businessmen now go directly to Wacheng or Yangon in Myanmar to get goods, while Tengchong has become a place for small and medium-sized businessmen. Jewelers with tens of millions like Zhang Jiefang can only come to Tengchong to get goods . To go to Myanmar, the money is enough, but there is no experience.

For example, at the rough stone auction in Yangon, the stones are sold in piles, and a pile of stones may be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions. There are only two ways out for an inexperienced person like Zhang Jiefang. Until the value of Jade directly soars to hundreds of millions, or they go bankrupt and buy a bunch of junk.

Therefore, Zhang Jiefang would rather occasionally buy some wool stones of average quality at 500 yuan per kilogram, rather than go to Yangon to gamble.

Wu Facai rushed back to Tengchong last night, because Zhang Jiefang had just arrived in Yunnan, so he rested overnight in Kunming. There is no plane from Kunming to Tengchong, so you can only take a bus, which departs at 8:00 am and arrives at 8:00 pm. Because Yang Ming and the others also came, the hotel in Kunming was immediately canceled.

On the long-distance bus, Yang Ming tried his best to ask Zhang Jiefang about jade: "Uncle Zhang, 500 yuan per kilogram of stones, can you get back your money?"

"It's hard to say. If you're lucky, you can make a lot of money. If you're unlucky, you can make a lot of money. Of course, there are times when you lose money. The chances are relatively small. Buy a few thousand How many pieces of good jade can you get out of a few stones, right?" Zhang Jiefang laughed and said, "Look at the jade pendants worth tens of dollars on the street, they are actually jade, but there are too many impurities, which are rotten jade. When I get this kind of stone, I will directly resell it in batches to those small handicraft processing factories. Earn all the cost back!"

"Can't you see the appearance of the stone from the outside?" Yang Ming asked.

"Of course I can't see it! Don't talk about it from the outside, it's hard to judge the texture of jade even with x-rays inside. You have to open it to see it! Of course, if anyone has a see-through eye, they can see it directly, haha Just kidding!" Zhang Jiefang said with a smile: "If someone has this kind of special function, then he will not come to Kaiyu!"

"No more jade? Why?" The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions. Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat! After he heard Zhang Jiefang tell him about the gambling on jade yesterday, he knew that his chance had come. He was not quite sure how to make money with his supernatural power until yesterday. After making up my mind, I am ready to study and study the rules about gambling jade. Now that he heard what Zhang Jiefang meant, there was actually a more lucrative business than betting on jade, so Yang Ming was very curious!

"That's so strange, think about it, what kind of jade can you open if you have this ability, go directly to the Pacific Ocean or deep in the mountains and old forests, and if you look through it, you can find any treasure inside, which is more profitable than gambling on jade!" Zhang Liberation laughed.

Yang Ming was shocked after hearing this. Although Zhang Jiefang said that the money came quickly, why didn't he think it was so practical? Let Yang Ming go to the Pacific Ocean to hunt for treasure? Not to mention whether it can be found, even the initial investment is definitely not a small amount! First of all, you have to own a boat, right? Many people have to be hired, and salvage is also a problem... Thinking about it is a headache, at least Yang Ming can't realize it now!

Treasure hunting in the deep mountains? Then you have to use excavation equipment, besides, whether the local government allows him to dig mountains is another matter.

"That's true!" Yang Ming replied dumbfounded.

"Also, for example, if you go to Africa, you also gamble on stones, but you gamble on diamond ore. The difficulty is more difficult, but the excitement is even greater! Buying a bunch of ore may make you rich overnight or even become a beggar overnight!" Zhang Jiefang continued.

Well, one shot sent me to Africa again! Yang Ming shook his head, but the gambling jade in front of him was more realistic. And the price can be accepted by himself, no matter how expensive it is, Yang Ming has no capital!

Because they chatted with Zhang Bing very late yesterday, they slept again on the bus. Zhang Jiefang was full of energy, and watched with great interest a Hong Kong movie from the 1990s shown in the coach.

In the evening, the three of them arrived in Tengchong, and Wu Facai kindly arranged the meal and accommodation, and made an appointment to go to the storehouse to pick the rough stones early tomorrow morning.

Because both Yang Ming and Zhang Bin had caught up on sleep in the afternoon, they were very refreshed after the meal. Zhang Jiefang drank too much and went back to the hotel to sleep.

"Yang Ming, how about going out for a stroll?" Zhang Bin didn't want to stay in the hotel so early, it was only past nine o'clock.

Tengchong has a tropical monsoon climate with an average temperature of 14.8 degrees. There is no severe cold in winter and no extreme heat in summer, so the climate is very refreshing. Looking at the bustling night scene here, Yang Ming couldn't help sighing secretly, a county town is actually so bustling!

Most of the night markets here also sell small things like jade pendants. Zhang Bin's family does this, so naturally he dismisses these things. Because it is impossible to have good goods here.

"Two handsome guys, do you want to have a good time?" A soliciting street chicken stood in front of the two of them.

"Don't..." Yang Ming just spoke, and before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Bing chatting with the pimp.

"How much is it once?" Zhang Bing asked.

"400 an hour, 800 nights, full service!" Seeing that someone has taken the bait, the solicitor said hastily.

"Four hundred per hour? Do you think I'm a Kaizi?" Zhang Bin said, "Two hundred yuan, the unified price across the country!"

"Two hundred is two hundred, but you have to wear a condom!" Seeing the veteran in front of him, the solicitor said helplessly.

"Damn, I don't dare to put me in high risk, who knows if I can be a bad jj!" Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Lead the way!"

"Zhang Bing!" Yang Ming quickly tugged at Zhang Bing's sleeve: "Are you serious?"

"Come out to play, just to have fun. Why, Yang Ming, don't tell me you're still a virgin?" Zhang Bin looked at Yang Ming with a half-smile.

"Of course not!" Yang Ming was embarrassed. In the current world, a woman is most afraid of being told that she is not a virgin, but a man is most afraid of being told that he is a virgin! Sounds contradictory huh? But in fact it is.

"Oh! I understand!" Zhang Bin said with a look of complete understanding: "Don't worry, I won't tell Mrs. Mengyan, this is our little secret!"

Yang Ming is helpless, he is not a casual person, although sometimes he is not a casual person, but it is all about the girl he likes, there is no emotional combination, he still has some resistance.

Seeing Zhang Bing's high spirits, Yang Ming had no choice but to follow Zhang Bing to a bathing center.

Like the soliciting woman just now, they usually have an agreement with the bathing center, and they get a commission, and their income is linked to Yang Ming and his consumption.

Zhang Bing skillfully ordered a pretty lady, and hugged her in his arms. It was obvious that he frequented this kind of place, but Yang Ming, an old society person, was embarrassed now!

"What's the matter, Yang Ming?" Zhang Bin looked at Yang Ming who was standing there motionless, and whispered in his ear, "Dude, are you really a virgin?"

"I..." Yang Ming didn't know how to answer. From a physiological point of view, he was no longer a virgin. He had sex with a little girl named Lin Zhiyun once, but he couldn't remember how he felt at that time, so he never From a psychological point of view, Yang Ming is still a virgin.

Zhang Bing is much more experienced than Yang Ming in this aspect. Seeing Yang Ming's appearance, he guessed in his heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Before Yang Ming could speak, Zhang Bin let go of the young lady beside him and walked towards the lobby manager, who was actually the old bustard and Mama Sang.

"Sir, is there any problem?" The lobby manager could tell from the moment the two came in that Zhang Bing was a veteran and Yang Ming was a novice, so he didn't dare to fool Zhang Bing.

"It's my buddy's first visit to this kind of place, is there anything cleaner?" Zhang Bing asked.
