Chapter 157: Go North to Wacheng
Chapter 157: Going north to Wacheng
The news was informed to Liu Yifeng and the others, and the two were also excited for Tang Han. Lu Xiangdong also joked that he would go to Bihai to see it in the future.
When it comes to going to the jade mine, the two of them naturally have nothing to object to. As jade enthusiasts, the two of them certainly hope to go to the source to take a look. If a large mining company like Jingu Company opens the road, the traffic and safety can be basically guaranteed.
At this moment, a few people arranged a rough itinerary. The next day, they set out to Wacheng to see if there were any good products, then went to worship the expeditionary army, and finally went to the jade mine to check it out, and then went back to Wacheng to celebrate the Water Splashing Festival.
Tang Han was not satisfied with the results of this time, but these were basically newly mined jade. The old pit jade mined in the past were all lost among the people. In Lu Xiangdong's words, there are many treasures, so it depends on whether there are those pairs of eyes to identify them.
After finishing all this, Tang Han returned to his room and found that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening again, and it was already 11:30 pm in Beijing time.
I hurriedly called Ye Xin's cell phone and asked her to send money to the Myanmar company.
Ye Xin called back and asked the first sentence, "How is that piece of national treasure jade doing?"
"Don't worry if I do my business!" Tang Han said shamelessly.
"Shaoxiaomei, what I asked is how much it cost?"
Tang Han reported it in full, and with other wool materials on the public market, Tang Han spent more than 200 million yuan, not including customs clearance and transportation costs. Until now, Tang Han is worried that he will not have enough money, "Sister Xin, the company's current operating conditions are still fine!"
"Everything is in good condition, the flagship store is about to open soon, and I'm waiting for you to come back!" Tang Han has been to Myanmar for more than ten days. These days, with Ye Xin's efforts, Xinyue Jewelry's situation has basically stabilized, and all parts are operating normally. Of course, she has nothing to take credit, and it will be the same if she changes other general managers, but she doesn't do her best.
"Then you don't have to wait! You, the general manager, will do whatever you want in the company! I can't help you when I come back. I'm very good at being the director of the procurement department." Tang Han said the truth. With Ye Xin's ability, he doesn't need to worry about these things at all.
"You must have sealed it yourself!" Ye Xin said angrily. She was still angry that Tang Han was so happy! She still couldn't figure it out yet. Do men like to wander around?
"Raw materials are the first element of survival in jewelry companies," Tang Han said with a serious expression, "By the way, have you returned from the last diamond purchase?"
"Xiaoyue has already made a personal effort to buy all the diamonds needed, and wait to be inlaid for our first batch of customers." Ye Xin replied.
"That's good! Don't spoil her too much. Also, if the villa is renovated, you can move in first! Well, you should also pay attention to safety when traveling. By the way, the people from the Ling family have not bothered you again!"
"They are fine, I can handle it! Don't worry, I will handle these things properly."
"Well, I'll go to Wacheng tomorrow, and I'll call you again. In half a month, I'll go back to Bihai." Tang Han reported his whereabouts to avoid worrying. Maybe they would have to send money here. Myanmar basically deals in cash, and Tang Han can't carry hundreds of thousands or millions of cash with him, but as long as he deals with a jewelry company, Tang Han has made complete preparations before coming, so there is no need to worry about these.
"OK."
"If Xiaoyue goes to bed, don't call her, just help me take good care of her."
"I just knew you couldn't bear to leave her!"
"I can't bear to leave you!"
"Good mouth and smooth tongue!"
“…”
The next morning, Tang Han, Liu Yifeng and Lu Xiangdong took a plane to Wacheng. After less than an hour from Yangon to Wacheng, it was convenient and fast.
Mandalay, also known as Wacheng, is the second largest city in Myanmar, a strategic location in ancient times, and was also the location of the Burmese Royal Palace.
The current economy of Wacheng is mainly dominated by Chinese descendants. Due to its superior geographical location, it has always been a concentrated place for jade wool materials, finished products, and various gems trading.
Famous jade wool mining companies such as Jingu, Hongbang, Fuji, and Changlong all have special strongholds in Wacheng. Most of the previous legendary stone gambling stories also took place in Wacheng, which is a place with a long historical tradition.
When landing by plane, Tang Han, who was sitting by the window, could see the luxurious villas outside Wacheng, most of which were built by wealthy local Chinese people. It is worth mentioning that although the Chinese in Wacheng are relatively strong in economy, they do not participate in politics, so this is also an area controlled by the Myanmar military government.
Due to waiting for the plane, it was already noon when several people arrived in Wacheng.
Originally, Yang Chuanyu said that she could provide convenience to Tang Han, but Jingu Company had a great influence in Wacheng, but Tang Han used Liu Yifeng and Lu Xiangdong as an excuse to refuse politely. He didn't want to owe too many favors.
Yang Chuanyu also guessed that Tang Han's meaning was that he might not have bought the wool materials from Jingu Company. He took it from his past records. He only chose the "right piles" and basically all of them were fine jade. Yang Chuanyu didn't force him, but just said that if there was something wrong, you could find him, or call the Jingu Company's branches.
After staying in the hotel, several people started the purpose of this trip, visiting the ruins of the expeditionary army, and the gambling stones were placed behind.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Expeditionary Force was the first time that China went abroad to fight since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. In order to ensure the Yunnan-Burma Highway, it fought with the Japanese in Myanmar. However, due to command errors, it retreated step by step, and many passionate young people buried their bones in a foreign land.
The city of Wa where they visited was also the main battlefield at that time, which was the location of the famous Battle of Mandalay.
Although the final result of the Battle of Mandalay was a complete defeat, many combat heroes emerged, such as Sun Liren, the Chinese general who annihilated the most Japanese army. What is most appreciated is his attitude towards Japanese prisoners. Any Japanese who were stained with Chinese blood will be killed. This makes several people feel excited when they think of it. There is also the Dongwu battlefield where Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division who broke through and died in battle.
Along the way, several people felt more and more that the expeditionary army went to Myanmar and had gone through hardships to compose this tragic battle song.
After a few days, several people went to worship places in Mandalay Province. They listened to veterans telling stories about the expeditionary army, recalling the era filled with smoke, and leaving many memorial photos.
Myitkyina in Kachin State is also the main battlefield of the Expeditionary Force, but because the Myanmar government has regulations that foreigners are not allowed to enter, Tang Han and his men had to wait for Yang Chuanyu to send their passes. The jade mining site is in Kachin State, north of Myitkyina.
Back in Wacheng, when Yang Chuanyu came to send her pass, Tang Han followed Liu Yifeng and the others to buy jadeite.
There are several types of gambling stones in Wacheng. One is to go to major wool materials companies such as Jin Gu, Fuji to watch gambling goods, and the other is to go to a special jewelry trading market where there will be some gambling goods; the last one is to go to someone else's home to see the goods in person.
Lu Xiangdong and Liu Yifeng often ran to Myanmar and met some acquaintances here. When they arrived in Wacheng a few days ago, someone asked them to see the goods. Unfortunately, a few people were so excited that they were busy watching the expeditionary army that they had gone, and delayed the time for a few days.
On that day, Tang Han followed the two of them to visit a man in Myanmar who specializes in wool materials business. The owner of the goods was surnamed Jin, and he was an old man in his sixties. He said that because he was tight recently, he wanted to sell a piece of gambling materials that he had been holding for many years.
After Lu Xiangdong's friend in Wacheng received the news, he notified them that it was a friend, and some of them were more suitable for informants or watchers. If the transaction was successful, they would charge a few percent agency fee.
Several people followed the young Chinese informant A Biao to the Jin family. The place where the Jin family lives is similar to a slum and the house is low. Tang Han also knew that most Burmese people are very poor. You can tell by looking at the salary of ordinary people two or three hundred yuan a month.
Jin Eun is quite old. He said that his wife was sick recently and she really couldn't afford to see a doctor. She had a treasure hidden and never took action. This time she had to take it out and sold it.
Seeing that the goods were very suitable for Lu Xiangdong's piles, A Biao asked him to come and see the goods.
Jin En was wondering why Tang Han, who was so young, followed. Lu Xiangdong said with a smile, "Don't look at him as young, he is famously generous. This time he paid 20 million yuan for a piece of tinea wool material on the public market."
After A Biao translated it, Jin Eun's eyes almost narrowed into a line again, as if he was a little disbelief.
Lu Xiangdong thought to himself that he had spent 160 million to gambling stones! There is an unwritten rule for gambling stones to only see the goods for those who can afford to buy goods. The richer the better. Lu Xiangdong said this and wanted to dispel Jin En's doubts.
With Jin En's half-believing and half-doubted eyes, several people closed the door to see the goods.
This is a piece of old Pagan wool with yellow salt sand skin. It weighs about seven or eight kilograms. The exposed part looks green everywhere, and it is top-notch green. What is even more valuable is the glass type.
Lu Xiangdong and Liu Yifeng both like to bet on jadeite materials for opening windows. Since they were looking for Lu Xiangdong at first, he was the first person who had the right to watch and bid.
Liu Yifeng and Tang Han were just watching from the side. The first time they arrived in Wacheng, they encountered such good gambling materials. Although the price may be very high, Lu Xiangdong was still very happy.
Lu Xiangdong looked carefully under the strong flashlight and found that it was indeed a glass type. As for the scene, it was indeed Lao Pada, but whether he should be gambled or not has to be studied carefully.
