"Colombia has three national treasures. I believe you all know that, right?"

Jack looked at the three of them with a smile and said.

The three Nelsons looked at each other and then nodded.

"Of course I know."

"Well, this war is about the third national treasure..."

"You mean emeralds?"

Karen asked deliberately pretending to have stars in her eyes.

After all, women will inevitably do this when they hear about gems.

Julio couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression.

"That's right! Over the years, since the collapse of the Medellin Group and the Cali Group."

“Colombia’s largest import and export business is gemstones like emeralds.”

"And the three places I just mentioned are the main mining areas for emeralds."

"There are many mine owners in these mining areas, and each of them occupies a hilltop."

"About forty years ago, that lunatic from the Medellin Group wanted to get involved in the emerald industry."

"But the mine owners don't want this guy to give in."

"Finally, under the organization of Victor Carranza, these mine owners formed an alliance."

"Back then, they fought an intermittent war with Medellin and the Cali group for ten years."

"Both sides suffered more than 50,000 casualties before finally reaching a settlement."

"They paid a huge sum of money to the Medellin group, and then the drug lords made a guarantee that they would not get involved in the emerald mining area."

"Later, the Medellin Group and the Cali Group were destroyed one after another."

"But this emerald alliance has been preserved."

"This alliance lasted until this month of this year, until Victor died a few days ago."

"His death means that this originally loose alliance will soon be disintegrated."

"When he was alive in the past, because of his incomparable prestige, the mine owners below did not dare to make mistakes."

"But with his death, the alliance collapsed, and the emerald war will start again..."

Julio, Jack and I introduced the recent current situation in Colombia to the three of them.

After hearing what they said, Chen Rui and the other three also fell silent.

Before coming to Colombia, they naturally did their homework about this country.

Billions of years ago, this country's main export product was white flour.

With the collapse of the Medellin Group and the Cali Group, the Colombian White Cotton Group has basically disappeared.

Although there are still some small heads, they are all scattered and cannot become a climate.

In addition, their neighboring countries also have a lot of output.

And with the rise of the white cotton group in Mexico, the white flour group in Colombia has become irrelevant.

However, there are also some other giants hidden in this country, namely gem merchants.

You know, Colombia is recognized as the largest producer of emeralds in the world.

Almost all the best quality emeralds in the world are produced in this country.

The emerald mining areas in this country are basically in the hands of a few traditional local powerful people.

The powerful people in these places are actually the descendants of immigrants from Spain in the early years.

After taking root here for a long time, he became a local powerhouse.

It is also inextricably linked to Colombia’s political scene.

However, it is precisely because emeralds can bring so much benefit that they have caused constant disputes among these powerful men.

And now listen to what Jack and Julio say.

Only then did the three of them realize that they had unexpectedly been involved in the Emerald War in Colombia.

Yes, this is not the first time that a war between gangs has broken out because of these green gems.

"Well, fortunately, we have no plans to go to these three places."

"Ha, we are not jewelers. Besides, we all like emeralds."

"But we don't have that much money either!"

Chen Rui saw that the atmosphere in the banquet was a bit cold, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.

When he said this, Julio across from him also laughed.

"If there is a chance, when I take over the mining area in the future, I will give you a few stones."

Good guy, it turns out you are the one who wants to rob someone else’s mining area!

Chen Rui and the others suddenly realized it, but naturally they did not expose him in person.

The guests and the host enjoyed the meal so much that Julio wanted to stay with them at home for a day before leaving.

But the three of them didn't agree to anything, and they were about to leave at the end.

Julio actually gave the three of them a car key.

The three of them looked up and saw that it was a Great Wall pickup truck.

"This car will be given to you. Consider it compensation for that car!"

"Also, you don't have to worry about repairing that car. I will drive the car rental agency."

"You can just return the car when the time comes."

Julio said to the three of them very generously.

Chen Rui and the other three naturally expressed their gratitude. They were worthy of being local snakes that even Jasper was afraid of.

This guy, who has been around Colombia for so many years, must have a rich family.

The three of them were not polite to him, took the car keys and left the manor.

This time there were three people and two cars, with Nelson driving the pickup truck in front.

Chen Rui followed behind in a Tank 500, and just over three hours later, they arrived at Medellin, Colombia's second largest city.

When the three of them arrived, it was already dark and they found a hotel to stay.

Early the next morning, we packed up and set out.

This time they are going to the Abra Valley, where there is an abandoned old house.

This old house was a palace that Pablo wanted to build.

But only half of it was repaired before work was stopped.

Because he reached an agreement with the government at that time, he could live in the prison he built.

As long as the country does not extradite him to the United States...

So in order to keep a low profile, the palace was only half built and then stopped.

Unfortunately, Pablo and his Medellin Group went downhill after that.

A year later, the guy escaped from prison.

After that, he has been hiding in Tibet and living a homeless life.

During this period, there were several wars with the Cali Group, which not only severely damaged his vitality, but also accelerated his defeat.

Sure enough, a few years later, he was shot and killed while fleeing.

And this palace was completely put on hold.

Previously, Chen Rui and Karen studied the hand drawings left by Jasper and Tai Lun.

From the hand-drawn drawing, they saw that both of them had marked this place with emphasis.

Tai Lun even said that he hadn't had time to go to this place yet.

I plan to come and look for this place next time I come to Colombia.

Because he learned from the informant that there was also a serious suspicion of treasure hiding in this place.

It's a pity that others were 'sacrificed' before they could come over.
