72. Chapter 72 Wuyou River(1/2)
Wa City is the economic hub of northern Myanmar and the capital of Mandalay Province. Although it is not as developed as Yangon, it has more of Myanmar's own flavor.
It is the first choice place for tourism and archeology.
When Ding Xiaobu and the others arrived by plane, it was already almost twelve o'clock in the evening, so they were a little tired.
Kong Qingbin and the others came here at the invitation of their friends. They had an appointment to attend but did not stay. After making an appointment to see each other tomorrow night, they left first.
Ding Xiaobu and the others quickly found a hotel near the airport.
The hotel staff can speak English and it's easy to talk to them. However, one thing made them depressed. There were only two suites left.
Although each room had two rooms, she was still a little depressed and it was too late. The young woman finally agreed, "Okay, let's book these two rooms."
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but smile, and then followed the hotel staff to the room.
As expected, Li Gen and Wang Shan lived together. Since they were too tired, they didn't think much about it. They said hello and quickly went into the room to sleep.
After Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie walked in, they saw that there were really many rooms, with two rooms inside and two outside, and two beds, so they didn't think much about it. In addition, they were tired and the young woman liked to be clean, so she greeted: "Brother Xiaobu,
I'll take a shower first, and if you're tired, go in and sleep. We have to go to the Wuyou River tomorrow morning."
Ding Xiaobu slept for a while on the plane, but he was not that tired. He shook his head and said, "You go first, I will wash up later."
The young woman then walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom looked very big, and since they lived under the same roof, I had already seen the beauty taking a bath, so I didn't have so many thoughts. I walked to the window of the room and looked at the night view of Wa City.
It made people feel a little dazed. A few hours ago, he was in Shanghai, and now he was here. He couldn't help but laugh. In addition, the scenery outside the window was quite unique, so he could see the magic.
When the young woman came out of the shower, she called him, then turned around and said, "Brother Xiaobu, what are you looking at?"
"Beauty comes out of the bath quilt."
The bathrobe is not very big. It exposes the snow-white neck and a slight cleavage, plus a head of black hair, which is very attractive, especially the round and plump thighs that are looming, which makes people feast their eyes on it, which is very funny.
One sentence.
In addition, because of Chen Guo's incident, the relationship between the two became even more ambiguous.
The young woman immediately giggled and said, "Glib tongue." Then she hurriedly greeted, "Brother Xiaobu, go and wash up quickly. We have a busy day tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Although Li Gen had already made plans for tomorrow and was only here to pick up and inspect the goods, the back and forth must still be a bit troublesome, so Ding Xiaobu quickly took a shower.
During this period, the young woman was still chatting with him outside, "Brother Xiaobu, tell me, will we go well tomorrow? We have been preparing for so long, so don't let any accidents happen."
"Probably not. Li Gen has been running on this road for more than ten years, so he must be sure." Ding Xiaobu said calmly.
The young woman thought so and didn't think much more about it. Then she felt sleepy and went to sleep in the back room.
When Ding Xiaobu came out, she had already fallen asleep, and she opened the cup dishonestly, revealing her snow-white plump thighs and a looming black lace panty.
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but feel dry at the sight, and sighed to himself, aren't you forcing me to commit a crime? But he quickly covered her up, and then saw that it was already past one o'clock, so he went to sleep directly.
When Ding Xiaobu woke up the next day, Kou Sijie was still sleeping. She seemed a little tired from yesterday's busy work, so he didn't disturb her, washed up, and went downstairs.
Li Gen and Wang Shan got up very early and had already begun preparations for heading to Wuyou River.
At this time, they were busy looking for a guide. Since they didn't speak English, they were in some trouble. When they saw Ding Xiaobu, they said to him, "Mr. Xiao Ding, I have informed the seller that we have arrived at Wa City. That's it."
It’s hard to find a guide.”
This place is not very developed, and there are very few people who can speak English and drive, so Ding Xiaobu came up with the idea to hire a hotel staff with a high salary to help.
Finally, we found them, and he was quite serious. He took the deposit, asked about their whereabouts, and then went to look for the car.
The young woman Kou Sijie just woke up and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so she quickly ordered breakfast for several people.
It was not very rich, just bread, jam and a few sausages, so they passed away. After that, as soon as the car arrived, the five people started the journey to the Wuyou River without stopping.
The hotel staff was quite talkative. At this time, he even talked in English: "Several bosses must have come to Wuyou River to buy jade."
Li Gen and Wang Shan didn't understand English, so they usually brought translators with them. This time, Kou Sijie and Ding Xiaobu knew English, so they didn't have to. However, at this time, they became the ear decorations of the cage, and they couldn't understand at all.
, couldn’t help but ask Kou Sijie.
Kou Sijie explained in a low voice, and then replied: "Well, you are a businessman who has been buying jade for many years."
"Well, many of them are big, wealthy bosses."
The staff member Nian laughed, meaning that they were also big bosses. Then the car slowly drove out of the city of Wa City.
The road is very well built, especially it is built along the mountain, winding like a snake, and there are hills and green trees next to it, which is a feast for the eyes. In addition, several people are here to do business, sitting in old jeeps,
Going to the world-famous mineral veins can't help but feel like a treasure hunt, but it's a different kind of fun.
Especially Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie, who had never been here before, watched non-stop for a while, full of praise for the green mountains and green waters.
Li Gen and Wang Shan were not so curious. They took out their phones and sent a message to the seller, asking him to prepare quickly so that he could trade directly without delay.
The mine owner was Huayi. He could speak Chinese and did not need a translator. As soon as he was connected, he said directly to him: "We have left Wa City now. We will be at your place in two hours. Hurry and prepare the goods."
.”
"Boss Li, don't worry. If you call me in the morning, I'll prepare it for you. And I've also prepared some good wine to entertain you."
The Chinese man had been doing business with Li Gen for more than ten years and had become friends. He received Li Gen's letter and order form a few days ago and started to prepare. He also knew that it would be too troublesome for them to go back and forth, so he specially prepared it.
Food, he immediately said cheerfully,
Ding Xiaobu heard clearly and felt more at ease. He completely let go and enjoyed the scenery of Myanmar freely along the road. Temples, white pagodas and monks coming and going appeared from time to time along the way, plus the clear sky and white sun.
, that kind of pious feeling makes people feel awe.
Especially the young woman, seeing the ascetics praying and kowtowing on the roadside, couldn't help but be deeply moved, and even had the urge to go to the temple to pay homage.
But it just passed by in a flash. I didn't dare to think about it for fear of delaying things, so I just kept going.
Finally, an hour later, we entered the territory of the Wuyou River. The mining trucks, the mountains beside the two rivers, the busy crowds, and the rows of excavators visible to the naked eye were all telling people the extraordinary stories here.
.
"Eighty percent of the jewelry-grade jadeite in the world comes from here. It is excavated piece by piece and then flowed to the world." The staff in the hotel also proudly introduced.
In fact, it is not the case, it should be 100%, because the jade from other places has not yet been found to reach the level of Wuyou River.
Of course, with the continuous excavation, the jadeite of Wuyou River has begun to be greatly reduced. Especially after modern times, the river water was drained, large excavation machines began to be used on the river bed, and dozens of stones that could not be excavated manually in thousands of years were
It was almost exhausted by the year.
Therefore, at this time, the jade purchased from the Wuyou River is basically second-rate goods collected from the mountains on both sides of the river bed. Without the jade outside, the mineral particles are coarse and the water head is not enough, so it is difficult to call it top quality.
.However, the jadeite produced here is still much better than that produced in other places, which is why this place has endured for so long.
Nowadays, the jadeite raw materials excavated from the Wuyou River are basically calculated in millions, which is extremely rare. Except for the few old factories that originated in the past, it is difficult for others to excavate organically, and they are basically Burmese.
So Li Gen's partner was not one of them, but one of the hundreds of mine owners excavated in the mountains on both sides of the river bed.
At this time, he made another phone call to report the progress, "We have arrived at the Wuyou River, and we will be there soon." After that, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Wuyou River looks different every time, and I don't know how many more years have passed.
The jade here will be mined out."
"We Chinese people attach great importance to relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea. God has given them this blessed land, and they have the right to enjoy it. As for time? Maybe if they dig around, another Wuyou River will come out.
Shi Jade's business will last forever."
Ding Xiaobu was optimistic and laughed, but he couldn't help but be moved by the excavations along the way, and he also responded to the words of the hotel staff just now.
It is here that the jadeite mined in this way has reached the whole world through various means and methods, forming various kinds of jewelry and embellishing countless men and women. Therefore, it seems that there is no need to rush for quick success.
Li Gen and Wang Shan couldn't help but nodded and said nothing more.
However, the young woman became interested and kept watching. When they had seen enough, they were almost reaching their destination, which was at the bottom of a half-exploited mountain. "This is the mountain you are talking about. There should be a pass in front of it," she said.
Our car will not be allowed on."
The hotel staff knew a lot about this. They knew that only mine carts could pass through this kind of mountain road, and nothing else was allowed, so they got out of the car.
"He's right, we have to walk up there."
Li Gen was quite familiar with this. Although there were slight changes, he still took the four of them up. It was not very steep and not very far. It didn't take long for the five of them to see the Huayi boss.
He must be of Burmese descent. He is 1.7172 meters tall and has a dark complexion. If his facial features were not clearer, he would be almost indistinguishable from the Burmese.
At this time, he hurriedly came up to him, made a Buddhist gesture of putting his hands together, bent down and saluted: "Boss Li, it's been a long time no see, and there are a few guests from afar, thank you for your hard work."
The Mandarin was a bit stiff, but I could still understand him, and I quickly returned the courtesy. After that, because there were mine carts passing by from time to time, I didn't say much and went into a room on the mountainside.
The facilities in the room were pretty good. There was a tea room. The five people, led by Ding Xiaobu and Li Gen, sat down one after another and quickly introduced them.
This Chinese boss’s name is Wu Longli. In Myanmar, Chinese people with the surname Wu are a common surname and are very powerful. Otherwise, they would not be mining in the Uyu River where gold is so rich today.
When introducing Ding Xiaobu, he was naturally a bit more conceited and described him as the biggest boss in this transaction.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ding to be so talented at such a young age."
The total amount of the purchase this time is 20 million, and the purchase from him is 15 million. The remaining 5 million is to select better goods for Wuzhou Jewelry Store, so the supply of goods here seems to be poor.
However, the business of 15 million is already considered a good deal for Wu Longli, and his words are naturally full of politeness.
Ding Xiaobu didn't have so many ideas. Seeing that the time was close to eleven o'clock, he thought about checking the goods quickly without wasting time, so he said directly: "You and Boss Li are old friends, so naturally we can trust you. We have done it more than once."
If you go in, you won't have to run any further."
